Chapter 29: Daddy, Can I Raise It?
Aunt Zhang responded, and quickly used a bowl to serve the General soy milk and tofu pudding.
Lu He was the first to carry over the soy milk.
Xie Chong sniffed it and asked, “What is this?”
It looked like milk, but the smell wasn’t.
Without the beany smell, Xie Chong couldn’t really tell for a moment.
“Try it, you try it.”
Under Qin Wanwan’s expectant gaze, Xie Chong took a sip.
The soy milk, with a hint of sweetness, was delicious, even better than milk.
While milk and goat milk were nutritious, their gamey smell was too strong.
“Not bad.”
“General, please try this again.”
Xie Chong looked at the creamy white substance in front of him, which was as tender and smooth as a little one’s skin.
One bite was as tender and smooth as steamed egg custard, with a unique flavor compared to egg custard.
“Now you can tell me what it is, right?”
The food was indeed delicious; he had never seen anything like it.
Qin Wanwan grinned and hugged his neck: “It’s soy milk and tofu pudding.”
Xie Chong’s heart stirred: “Made from soybeans?”
“Yes, General.”
Aunt Zhang’s voice carried a hint of excitement: “I never expected soybeans could be ground into such a delicious thing. One jin of beans can make about three jin of tofu pudding, and the soybean pulp doesn’t need to be wasted; I can make food with it when I go back.”
Hearing this, Xie Chong’s dark eyes brightened slightly.
Those despised soybeans could produce so much, and such delicious things.
“All of this is thanks to Miss and Lord Keke.”
Aunt Zhang said smoothly.
Under Xie Chong’s gaze, Qin Wanwan looked bewildered, and Keke tilted its bird head with great arrogance.
“How about that, aren’t I powerful!”
Qin Wanwan’s voice was soft as she praised, “Keke is amazing.”
Xie Chong was in a good mood and asked Keke.
“Can this method be used in the military?”
He was also seeking Keke’s opinion.
Keke patted its chest with its wings: “You can use it, I won’t charge you any silver.”
It wasn’t that it had invented this method.
Several people from modern technology dimensions with profound merit had ascended to the Heavenly Court, bringing many delicacies to the Heavenly Court.
They didn’t hide anything and even enjoyed feeding the younger cubs of the Heavenly Court for free. Keke remembered many recipes for delicacies for its Qilin Cub.
Now that Aunt Zhang knew how to make tofu pudding, Xie Chong directly had someone take her to the kitchen camp.
“Daddy, ride the horse.”
Xie Chong had nothing else to do, so he took Qin Wanwan to the nearby grassland for a ride.
The little one on the horse had a happy smile constantly on her face.
“Wow… Daddy, faster, Wanwan isn’t afraid, hahaha~”
Although small, she was quite brave.
Xie Chong’s mount also ran both steadily and quickly to showcase its abilities.
They stopped after running for a while.
“Daddy, there are little animals, they ran over there.”
“That’s a pika rabbit, they are very fast.”
“Daddy, Wanwan wants to go down.”
As soon as Qin Wanwan’s feet touched the ground, she ran around the grassland. Xie Chong observed the surroundings and in a blink of an eye, saw the little one squatting on the ground, pouting her little butt, digging for something.
He walked over. The little one, with her small hands and face smudged dirty, got up, holding a dusty-looking rabbit.
“Daddy, meat!”
Xie Chong: …………
Another rabbit, what did the rabbit do to you?
However, rabbit meat was indeed delicious, and this creature bred quickly and lived in a wide range of environments.
Not only pika rabbits but also wild rabbits were present on this grassland.
Digging holes everywhere.
“There seems to be more inside.”
“I’ll do it.”
Xie Chong looked at the large rabbit held by its ears, which was obediently still, and skillfully tied it up, preventing Qin Wanwan from continuing to dig rabbit holes.
He tied up the rabbit and went in himself.
A few minutes later, a nest of little rabbits was dug out.
And… a snake.
A small snake about two fingers thick, with a completely black body.
Xie Chong immediately threw the snake away, not knowing if it was venomous.
Qin Wanwan’s eyes lit up when she saw the snake and she trotted over to pick it up.
“Wait…”
Xie Chong didn’t expect that this little one would just grab it so readily.
Qin Wanwan’s little chubby hand held the snake, and the small snake voluntarily coiled around her hand.
“Daddy, can I keep it?”
Holding the snake, Qin Wanwan looked at Xie Chong eagerly.
Xie Chong: “…What kind of young lady keeps a snake?”
He had never seen such a thing in his life.
Didn’t this little one know what fear was?
“Daddy, Daddy~”
Seeing that Xie Chong didn’t immediately agree, Qin Wanwan began to act spoiled, pulling his finger with her small hand, shaking it, tilting her pretty little face up, her big, moist eyes looking at him expectantly.
Xie Chong held his forehead.
“Where did you learn that!”
“Let me see that snake first; it can’t be kept if it’s poisonous.”
Qin Wanwan obediently handed the snake over.
Fortunately, the black color indicated it was non-venomous, a local python. However, it could only grow to the thickness of an arm at most.
“You can keep it.”
“Yay, thank you, Daddy.”
After leaving Xie Chong’s hand, the little black snake eagerly climbed onto Qin Wanwan’s arm and disappeared into her sleeve.
“Daddy, Little Black is hungry.”
Xie Chong: …That name is truly simple and crude.
“Yes, we’ll eat rabbit meat when we get back.”
They came out with a nest of rabbits and a snake.
Xie Chong handed the large rabbit to the kitchen camp to be cooked. The smaller ones were put in a cage, and Qin Wanwan was squatting by the cage, petting them.
Not long after, a plate of minced meat was brought.
“Wanwan, come here, feed your snake something.”
Qin Wanwan immediately trotted over and clung to his leg, sticky.
Xie Chong pulled out the snake, pried open its mouth, and used chopsticks to stuff meat in.
The little snake contorted its body, feeling like it was about to die.
Wanwan: “!!!”
“Daddy, I’ll do it, I’ll do it!”
Xie Chong said, “A snake won’t actively eat this kind of minced meat, especially when people are around.”
Qin Wanwan raised her hand: “It will, it will, Daddy, please let Little Black go quickly.”
It felt like it was going to be squeezed to death by Daddy.
As soon as Xie Chong loosened his grip, the little black snake zipped back onto Qin Wanwan.
It was too terrifying; it almost met its great-great-great-grandma.
Qin Wanwan took the minced meat and placed it on the ground, then squatted down and also placed the little snake on the ground.
Her finger stroked the little black snake’s slippery scales.
“Little Black, be good, eat quickly.”
Under Xie Chong’s gaze, the little black snake crawled over and ate little by little on its own.
Xie Chong: …………
After eating, Qin Wanwan even used a damp handkerchief to wipe Little Black clean, and then put it back on her wrist.
“Daddy, let’s go home.”
It was time to go back.
Under the moonlight, Xie Chong rode his horse with the little cub back to the General’s Mansion.
As soon as they returned, he gave Qin Wanwan a bath. Her little face, hands, and hair were all washed clean, making her a beautiful, soft, white ball again.
Lu He had half-dried her hair when she ran to the bedroom to find Daddy.
At this moment, Xie Chong was wearing an inner garment, holding a pair of ripped underpants, and a piece of fabric cut to just the right size and similar color, darning a needle and thread expressionlessly.
Seeing Qin Wanwan enter, he instructed, “Close the door.”
This kind of thing couldn’t be known by outsiders.
Qin Wanwan obediently listened, carrying a large goose egg and huffing as she climbed onto the bed.
