Beloved Concubine

Chapter 95 Entering the Black Stone
While the ingredients were thawing, Chen Xiao went out from the back door of the kitchen and came to the backyard of the house.

There is an open space in the backyard, and fruit trees are planted around the open space. Behind the fruit trees is an open field. Chen Xiao once planted peppers in that open field.

When planning the building, Chen Xiao built warehouses and photovoltaic arrays on the side of the villa. Looking out from the villa, he could only see the natural scenery outside, but when he walked out of the villa, he would see rows of warehouses and photovoltaic arrays.

"There is still a house over there?" Fang Yu followed to the backyard and saw a warehouse not far away.

"Well, they are all warehouses." Chen Xiao said as he walked to the nearest warehouse, opened the door and entered.

It was pitch black in the warehouse, save for a little light from the ventilation fan vents high in the walls.

Chen Xiao touched the switch and turned on the light.Fang Yu also followed in.

This warehouse is used to store food. Chen Xiao met Fang Yu not long after he came to this world, and has been eating out since then. The food here has hardly been touched.

"What is this?" Fang Yu saw several "big boxes".

"Freezer." There is a refrigerator in Chen Xiao's kitchen, and there is also a freezer here.

The temperature of kitchen refrigerators is generally minus [-] degrees Celsius. Some of the freezers in the warehouse are quick-freezers, with a minimum temperature of minus [-] degrees; some are ultra-low temperature freezers, with a minimum temperature of minus [-] degrees.

Chen Xiao ignored the freezer and came to a pile of potatoes and onions.

"Come here and get it for me." Chen Xiao shouted.

Fang Yu came over, saw the potatoes and onions on the ground, and said, "They all sprouted."

Not to mention that he has lived for thousands of years, traveled through different realms, and seen many things.It's just potatoes and onions, Xiling also has them.

"Well, when you have free time, plant the sprouted ones."

The sprouts of some potatoes have grown to two or three inches. Chen Xiao picked out the ones that had just sprouted and were still edible.

"What is this going to be used for?" Fang Yu asked.

"Eat."

"I can't eat it."

"Why can't you eat it?" Chen Xiao picks and chooses on his own.

"It will be poisoned if eaten."

Chen Xiaobai glanced at him: "You know again?"

"Xiling also has potatoes. If you eat the sprouted ones, you will be poisoned."

"There are potatoes in Xiling?" Chen Xiao was a little curious because she had never seen them in Nanyue.

"Yes. You can't eat the sprouted ones, and you will be poisoned if you eat them." Fang Yu emphasized poisoning again.

"I don't know that." Chen Xiao had also heard that sprouted potatoes would be poisoned, but since she was a child, she had eaten many sprouted potatoes, and she had never been poisoned to death.Of course, she only eats the sprouts that have sprouted a little, and if the sprouts are too long, she doesn't eat them.It's not that I'm afraid of poisoning, but the sprouts are too long, and the potatoes themselves are shriveled and unpalatable.

Chen Xiao picked six or seven potatoes and an onion, and left the warehouse with Fang Yu.

"There are potatoes in Xiling, why didn't the people of Xiling introduce them to Nanyue to grow them?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Potatoes are produced in the north of Xiling, and southerners don't like to eat potatoes very much. The Xiling people in Nanyue Kingdom are almost all southerners, so naturally they don't bring potatoes." Fang Yu explained.

Hearing about Xiling North again, Chen Xiao was full of curiosity about this place.

"Are there any onions in Xiling?" Chen Xiao asked.

"Have."

"Southerners don't like onions either?"

"Not at all."

The two returned to the kitchen. Chen Xiao taught Fang Yu to peel potatoes with a peeler, while she cut and marinated meat, and handled thawed shrimp.

After the ingredients were ready, Chen Xiao set up an outdoor dining table in the backyard, put on an electric grill, and then connected a power cord from the kitchen.

"Let's eat outside and barbecue indoors. The oily smoke won't come out for a long time."

Fang Yu didn't care where to eat, seeing the ingredients prepared by Chen Xiao, he was already salivating.

When the baking pan was hot, Chen Xiao brushed a layer of oil, then picked up a few slices of meat and put them on. Soon, the slices of meat were sizzling with oil.

Chen Xiao said while flipping the roast: "It would be great if there was lettuce! Pork belly is wrapped in lettuce, and the combination of meat and vegetables is not greasy."

"lettuce?"

"A vegetable that can be eaten raw."

Chen Xiao told Fang Yu how to eat "meat wrapped in vegetables".

In fact, she has lettuce seeds, but she has never eaten in the space, so she didn't plant them.

Fang Yu said: "Then you plant it now, and when the lettuce grows, we can eat meat wrapped in vegetables."

Chen Xiao nodded, she also had this idea.

In the past, many things had to be hidden, and many things could not be taken out. Now that Fang Yu knows the secret of the black stone, many things can be taken out.

The two grilled pork belly, potatoes, shrimp, steak cut into small pieces.

Fang Yu asked: "I saw that you brought the onion, why didn't you see the onion?"

Chen Xiao: "I originally wanted to use it as a seasoning. You said that southerners don't eat onions, so I didn't use onions."

Fang Yu said with a smile: "I'm all over the world, and I eat everything."

Seeing that she didn't use onions just because of one sentence, Fang Yu felt the consideration from his wife.

Chen Xiao was also very considerate before, but she kept hiding the secret of Black Stone. Fang Yu felt that she was guarding against him, and the two always kept a distance in their hearts.

Now that the two of them are sitting in the black stone space eating barbecue, Fang Yu feels: the two of them now are the ones who are truly honest. ——Of course, it's just Chen Xiao's frank confession, and Fang Yuli's frank confession still has a long way to go.

"Is there any wine? I want to drink some wine." Fang Yu said.

"Yes." Chen Xiao got up to get the wine.

……

space outside.

The white boa was lying in the tent, looking lazy, but actually listening carefully to the movement outside.

It was late at night, except for the guards on duty, everyone else was already asleep.The guards didn't pitch a tent, they just spread the tarpaulin on the ground and slept like that.

Suddenly, the white boa noticed a group of slight footsteps in the distance.Humans cannot hear this sound, but boas can hear it.

Slight footsteps walked and scattered, but the general direction was towards them.

The white boa poked its head out from the bottom of the tent. With its unique night vision ability, it saw more than a dozen masked men in black approaching the camp from several directions in the distance.

What do these men in black want?

Just as he was thinking, he saw the driver who was in charge of guarding the carriage on the side of the official road on the slope was quietly wiped on his neck.Men in black coming from other directions were also silently killing unsuspecting people one by one.

At the same time, someone came quietly from behind the small tent and tiptoed to lift the curtain.

"Help!"

A youthful howl pierced the night sky.

With a jump, the white boa dodged into the black stone.

The sound of it startled the man in black, and at the same time woke up the sleeping guards.

……

In the space, Chen Xiao and Fang Yu were enjoying themselves while grilling meat and drinking.

Suddenly, a white snake ran from the front yard to the back yard.

"Why did you come in?" Chen Xiao wondered when he saw the white boa.

"There are people outside." The white boa panicked.

Isn't it normal for someone outside?

"I asked you to notify me via voice transmission, but I didn't let you come in to notify me." Chen Xiao finished speaking and took a sip of his wine.

"A group of men in black came outside and attacked these people by the lake. Our tent was opened, and I quickly hid in."

"Sneak attack?" Chen Xiao looked at Fang Yu.Obviously, the sneak attack was aimed at Taisun.

"Are the people in the big tent dead?" Fang Yu asked the anaconda.

"I don't know. As soon as our tent was raised, I ducked in."

"How many men in black are there?" Fang Yu asked.

"Probably sixteen or seventeen."

Fang Yu said to Chen Xiao, "I'll go out and have a look."

Although De Wang sent him away with 300 taels of silver bills, but the Taisun was the life he spent [-] soul power to get back. Let him die just like that, and this investment was in vain when he turned around.

"I'll go too." Chen Xiao got up.

"Don't go, it's dangerous outside."

"Send you out, I have to go out too. Let's go, it's okay."

Chen Xiao picked up the outdoor folding chair, held Fang Yu's hand, and flashed out of space with a thought.
