Chapter 1093: Sittara, the Wine-craving
Just when Shao Yun was feeling depressed about the unyielding goat at his feet, Paimon's signature energetic voice suddenly came from outside the house.
"Shao Yun! Get up! The sun is shining on your butt! If you don't get up now, your breakfast will get cold!"
Seeing Paimeng coming, Shao Yun simply put the matter of the goat behind him for the time being.
Anyway, this sheep is not hostile for now, so I'll reunite with my family first.
He raised his voice towards the door and responded, "I woke up a long time ago. I'm not a child. Why do I need you to call me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Paimon floated into the living room of the ranch house, looked him up and down, curled his lips and complained:
"Eh? Really? I thought you were so excited about staying in your new home for the first time last night that you couldn't sleep and didn't get up until the crack of dawn! But judging by your spirits, you don't seem that excited at all."
Shao Yun didn't respond to her, but looked at the door. Since Paimeng was here, Ying must be nearby.
He changed the subject and asked, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Where's Ying? Didn't she come with you?"
"Come on, come on!"
As soon as Shao Yun finished speaking, Ying jumped into the living room like a gust of wind, stood in front of him with her hands on her hips, and a smug expression on her face.
"I'm here! I came to bring you breakfast."
As Ying's figure appeared, Shen He, holding the baby "Xi", also walked in slowly, and Kong followed at the end.
The early morning sunlight shone through the window onto the few people, instantly making the empty living room more lively.
Shao Yun looked at the two adults and one child behind Ying and said in surprise, "Shen He, and my brother-in-law are here too? I thought it was just you and Paimeng."
"Of course!" Ying suddenly put away her smug expression, deliberately put on a serious face, and teased proudly:
"Who told my beloved husband not to come home so late at night and have to spend the night in this cold, hard, plain room?"
"Everyone was worried that you might catch a cold, so they came to see if you were frozen and to have breakfast together."
Shao Yun couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard her familiar sarcastic tone.
The tone of his speech is becoming more and more like mine.
He was a little amused and muttered softly:
"It's over. I regret more and more that I trained you to be like this. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped you from learning such nonsense."
"By the way, what's for breakfast? I'm actually a little hungry."
"I made the Liyue Yangchun noodles."
Shen He, who had been holding "Xi" quietly, spoke softly and handed the baby to Kong beside him. Fearing that the baby would be uncomfortable, he specially adjusted Kong's holding posture before turning to Shao Yun with a gentle smile on his face.
"It's cold this morning, so eating some hot noodles is good for your health. I plan to make it now, and the ingredients are already prepared at the Holy Flame Arena."
She pointed outside the house and added, "I just happened to pass by the tent building next to the ranch and saw a ready-made campfire and a pot for cooking."
……
After confirming today's breakfast, Shen He went to cook noodles for everyone happily.
Shen He's noodle-making skills are truly exceptional. The noodles, cooked to perfection, are chewy and smooth, and the broth is so delicious it's tempting to swallow.
Watching Shen He's figure disappear at the door, Ying's eyes inadvertently swept across Shao Yun's feet, and suddenly noticed the curled up female goat.
Its snow-white fur is particularly conspicuous in the sunlight.
Ying squatted down, pointed at the goat curiously and asked, "Where did this goat come from? Why is it next to you?"
Shao Yun's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Ying would ask for more details, so he quickly followed her words and made up a lie.
"Oh, these are the ingredients for roasting a whole lamb." As he spoke, he secretly signaled with his eyes to the goat not to talk nonsense.
The mysterious goat, which had been kneeling obediently on the ground, froze instantly when it heard the words "roasted whole lamb".
She suddenly raised her head, her horizontal pupils full of disbelief, staring straight at Shao Yun, as if to say, "You actually really want to roast me, don't you want to try the narrow path?"
The next second, it bleated at Shao Yun in dissatisfaction, and its furry ears drooped.
Paimon, who was floating nearby, heard the words "roasted whole lamb" and "ingredients" and his eyes lit up instantly. He excitedly circled around the goat twice and cheered:
"Really? Really? We're going to have a roasted whole lamb! I want the lamb leg! Preferably one that's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sprinkled with lots of cumin and chili powder!"
Ying looked at Paimon's "believe whatever others say" look, rolled her eyes helplessly, reached out and flicked her head, and complained:
"Paimeng, can you use some judgment? Shao Yun is obviously teasing you! Look at this lamb. There's not much meat left after roasting it. What a waste!"
After hearing what Ying said, Paimon immediately wilted and lowered his head to look at the goat.
"Oh... I think so. Then, let's fatten it up before roasting it. Then we'll have plenty of meat to eat."
When the mysterious goat heard the words "Fat you up before roasting", although it felt that it was still doomed to be eaten, it was at least temporarily safe. It immediately breathed a sigh of relief and bleated softly at Ying, as if to express its gratitude.
Maybe after a while, you will forget about roasting yourself.
However, before the goat could completely relax, the situation suddenly changed.
Ying stared at the goat for a few seconds, then suddenly licked her lips with her tongue, her eyes showing obvious "appetite", and she said with a smile:
"No, I mean, it's a waste to roast it. It's better to stew it in mutton soup! Simmer it over low heat for a few hours, and the soup will definitely be super delicious!"
“Meh?!”
When the mysterious female goat heard Ying say that she would not roast it but stew it into goat soup, she complained wildly in her heart: Who is the devil?
Shao Yun suddenly kicked it, but the force was not strong, more like a symbolic kick to drive it away.
He frowned and pretended to be fierce as he ordered, "Get out! Don't stay in the room! You'll make the house dirty."
"If you behave, I'll spare your life tonight. But if you dare to cause trouble, I'll stew you tonight. Do you understand?"
Shao Yun said this partly for Ying and Paimeng to see, and partly to get the sheep to leave the living room temporarily.
After all, if it stays here, I am always worried that it will suddenly speak human language and scare my wife, children and family.
The mysterious female goat was kicked and stood up reluctantly. She glanced at Shao Yun with a look that was full of resentment of "just wait", and also seemed to be saying "you are so cruel, I will remember it".
But it also knew that it couldn't and was not allowed to go against Shao Yun now, so it had to walk out of the house slowly with its four sheep's hooves, and every step was full of reluctance.
Shao Yun looked at its back and was not worried.
Anyway, this sheep has an extraordinary origin. Even if it stays in the wild, it is impossible for it to be eaten by Nata's dragon or other beasts. There is no need to worry about it.
Paimeng, who was floating on the side, saw that the goat actually understood Shao Yun's words and walked out of the house obediently. He widened his eyes in surprise and pointed in the direction of the door and said:
"Wow! This sheep seems to really understand what we're saying! Shao Yun just asked it to go out, and it actually left. It's so human!"
Shao Yun listened and responded humorously: "What's so strange about this? If you don't feed the sheep well, you can't roast it well, right?"
When Paimon heard this, he burst out laughing.
"Haha... Shao Yun, you're so funny! Your vocabulary and the jokes you can come up with are something Ying will never be able to catch up with in her lifetime!"
Ying also agreed. She had been with Shao Yun for three years, and the eloquence she had learned was just the tip of the iceberg.
Shao Yun looked at the two people praising him in unison and deliberately put on a proud look.
"Of course. I've practiced my eloquence for years, how could I be surpassed so easily? Okay, let's stop talking about sheep and go to the camp to see if Shen He's Yangchun noodles are ready. I'm starving."
As he spoke, he walked towards the door first, and Ying and Paimon quickly followed.
The mysterious female goat was squatting on the grass not far from the camp, watching the few people from afar. It neither approached nor left, and it was obvious that it had made up its mind to follow Shao Yun all the time.
When Shao Yun saw its figure, he shook his head helplessly. It seemed that he couldn't get rid of this "tail-follower" in a short time.
……
Just as Shao Yun and his family were standing at the door of the ranch house, chatting and waiting for Shen He to cook the noodles.
I saw a pink and purple figure riding on a huge pillow, floating towards the ranch construction site like a cloud. It was not fast but was extremely conspicuous.
As the figure got closer, everyone saw that it was none other than Sitralli.
At this moment, she no longer looked sleepy as when her biological clock was reversed, and she was full of energy.
Obviously, with Shen He's patient adjustments during this period, her biological clock has completely returned to normal.
When the pillow stopped steadily in front of Shao Yun, Xitlalli jumped off the pillow nimbly, turned around briskly when she landed, and then came to Shao Yun with full energy, her eyes sparkling.
"Mr. Shao Yun! Good morning! I just saw from the sky that your house seems to be almost taking shape. Is it almost finished?"
Shao Yun looked at the energetic Xitlal in front of him. At this time in the past, she would probably still be asleep. Now she could come so early and full of energy. It was obvious that Shen He's "biological clock adjustment plan" was very successful.
He nodded and pointed to the house behind him and said:
"Yes, the main structure is complete. All that's left is to buy furniture and wait for Sinoning to deliver the customized high-tech equipment for installation. Once that's done, we'll be able to move in."
"Wow! That's too fast!" Sitrali's eyes widened even more, her hands clenched together unconsciously, and a topic that she was looking forward to even more suddenly popped up in her mind.
The house is almost finished, so shouldn’t we put the “big life event” mentioned earlier on the agenda?
She leaned forward, her tone full of anticipation, and asked in a low voice: "Then, then Mr. Shao Yun, is your proposal to Miss Ying complete? Didn't you say before that you would prepare it once the house is almost ready?"
Shao Yun didn't expect her to bring up this matter suddenly. He was stunned for a moment and then nodded with a smile.
"I proposed a long time ago. A few days ago, I found a suitable opportunity and put the ring on Ying's finger. She agreed."
"Really?!" Xitlalli became excited instantly, her voice rose a few notes, and her eyes were shining with "gossip" and "expectation".
"So, you're planning on having your wedding soon? When are you planning on having it? Do you want some advice?"
Shao Yun looked at Xitlalli, who seemed to care more about the matter than himself, and had already guessed her little thoughts.
He is not concerned about the wedding, but is clearly thinking about the wine at the wedding.
But he pretended to be ignorant, put on a confused expression, as if he was a "noble man who forgets things easily", and asked curiously:
"Why are you so interested in my wedding? Are you even more anxious than me, the person involved?"
Xitlari's cheeks flushed slightly when she was asked this question. Her eyes drifted to the side unconsciously, and then she revealed a subtle expression that only a young girl could have. She put her hands behind her back and shook them lightly. She leaned close to Shao Yun and whispered:
"Hehe, Mr. Shao Yun, have you forgotten? Didn't we discuss this before?"
"Since I've been keeping your secrets and looking after your daughter for a while now, shouldn't you let me drink as much as I want at the wedding? Hehe."
As she spoke, she stared at Shao Yun with sparkling eyes, afraid that he would go back on his word.
For her, being able to drink all kinds of fine wine at a lively wedding is much more interesting than simply attending the wedding.
