âOh!â Liu Tianshan was shocked. Dumbfounded, he asked, âShi mei, what do you need all thesefor?â
âOf course I have my reasons. Go quickly. Remember, you only havetwo-hour time. You must rush back within two hours, okay?â
âOkay, I will leave right away!â
Liu Tianshan had no idea why should needed these items, but as far ashe was concerned, he only need to follow her requests. He need not worry aboutanything else.
Watching him left in a hurry, a light smile appeared on Cheng XiaoXiaoâs face. She turned and looked at the few village women that were helpingout with tidying up the ranch and walked toward them!
âXiao Xiao, what are you coming here for? We are almost finished overhere!â laughed Shi da niang, happily.
Cheng Xiao Xiao glanced over at the ranch. All sizes of mystical animalsrunning around, the ground were clean. It was obvious that Shi da niang and her lot didnât slack.
Nodded lightly, Cheng Xiao Xiao said to them, âShi da niang, why donât you put the matters of the ranch aside for nowand go help in the kitchen? I need to you to help with preparing meals for 50more people today!â
âThat many?â
Shi da niang and her lot hadalways been the floaters, they went and help out whenever needed extra help.They didnât go help out in the kitchen because there were already enoughkitchen staff. As long as the headcount remains unchanged, they wouldnât beneeded there.
They had a pretty good idea the number of mouths to feed from the lastfew days. Naturally they were shocked when they heard that the numbers had goneup so drastically!
But Cheng Xiao Xiao had no intention to explain to them. She continued,âYes, thatâs how many we will need. Please go help out in the kitchen afterwashing your hands!â\nâOkay, we will listen to you!â
Shi da niang stopped askingand led the other village women from the ranch to their new location.
Cheng Xiao Xiao returned to her house and didnât see her parents in thecourtyard anymore. She didnât care much about that and returned into her ownquarter. She said directly to little Yuteng, âYuteng, take out some cabbages,Chinese cabbages, lettuces, rapeseeds, potatoes, and radishes. Oh, and 500 jin of rice!â
âYoung mistress, so much at one time. You sure you can finish themall?â asked little Yuteng, utterly confused.
âYes, of course!â nodded Cheng Xiao Xiao.
âWhoâs eating them?â
âThose logging in the mountains, of course!â
âOh, young mistressâs idea isâŠ..â Yuteng thought of something rightaway and smiled so much her eyes couldnât be seen, âOkay, letâs do it!â
âYuteng, and several dozens of fish as well. Let them try some mysticalfish!â
âOkay! Will 50 be enough? Or 100? They will definitely want more fishonce they have tried them!â
âUp to you. We can always make more after theyâve eaten them. Grow morefood items these next couple of days so we donât depleting the stock in ourwarehouse!â
âOkay, I will make the necessary arrangements!â
Shortly, Yuteng brought out a bunch of food out from the dimension.Luckily nobody was around. Otherwise, it will fore sure draw too much attentionand trouble.
 The living quarter was almostpiled full when Cheng Xiao Xiao finally felt happy with what they have andwalked outside. She happened to saw her mom walking over from the kitchen. Slightlyworried, she asked urgently, âYou told Shi daniang and her lot to cook food for 50 people?â
âYes, mom. I have rice and all sorts of vegetables in my room. Whydonât you take to them for cooking in a bit? Tell them to make them deliciousplease!â and Cheng Xiao Xiao left with a smile.\n___
