With one hand folded across his chest and his chin propped up, Bai Zhi thought about this issue very seriously.
They still buy things like New Year's goods. Before the school beauties left, they went to the supermarket with three lolita to do some shopping. They also bought a lot of fireworks, so they didn't have much in terms of ingredients. Short.
Ingredients for making dumplings are all available here in their villa.
But for Bai Zhi, who has never made dumplings before, this task is undoubtedly quite arduous.
"...Forget it, let's give it a try."
After a moment of hesitation, Bai Zhi made a decision in his heart.
What's rare is that these lolita spend their first New Year in this world, and there's no way they can fool them with barbecue...
Because it was too early, several lolita hadn't gotten up yet. After going to their rooms to take a look and help cover them with quilts, Bai Zhi went straight downstairs.
But as soon as he came downstairs, a spotted puppy meowed happily and ran towards him.
Bai Zhi: "..."
Not counting the dog (cat?), there were originally eight people in the villa. However, Tianhuo went back to the puzzle card world, and school beauty Xia Wenmu Qianse and the others returned home, so now there are only eight people left in the villa. Him and three lolita.
… Maybe there’s also some shameless ghost who’s staying here
"Uh... This guy probably hasn't come back, right?"
Recalling the pink-haired girl who ran away from home in despair because of the cook's departure a few days ago, Bai Zhi glanced towards the sofa.
-Luckily, he didn't see the unidentified humanoid creature lying on the sofa.
"Huh... It's okay, if that guy isn't here..."
"What's not there?"
Bai Zhi, who breathed a sigh of relief, had just turned his head when a head stretched out from the top of his head appeared in front of him, staring at him unblinkingly.
Bai Zhi: "..."
… … … … … … … … …
"Didn't you leave because the food was unpalatable? Why are you back again?"
Ten minutes later, looking at the pink-haired girl sitting on the sofa in front of him, elegantly holding a cup of black tea and drinking, Bai Zhi's words contained a hint of helplessness.
Ever since he came back from the Tomb of the World, this guy has been staying at home. In fact, he just needs to stay, but this guy's lower limit and moral integrity are quite low.
Even if you look like a useless person just eating and waiting to die, you are still keen on snatching snacks from Qingyi Anna and the others all day long. It is simply an unforgivable crime...
"Why, you don't welcome me?"
After glancing at Bai Zhi, the pink-haired girl holding the black tea hummed softly in her mouth.
"Don't forget, how many times have I wiped your butt and dealt with so many troubles in the past? How long have you planned to kill all the birds, hide the good bows, slay the cunning rabbits, and prevail the lackeys?"
"So where did you get such a set of tricks?"
Rolling his eyes, Bai Zhi sat down at the table with a basin of flour and planned to start kneading the dough.
"Didn't you run away from home because you were so disappointed with the food here before? They haven't come back yet. I don't have anything delicious here."
"You want to know why? I can tell you."
Putting down the teacup in her hand, the pink-haired girl looked serious.
"The reason why I came back is because during the few days I left, I realized a truth."
"...Truth?"
"That's right."
The pink-haired girl nodded solemnly.
"The truth I realized is that whether it's food or snacks, they only taste good if you eat them with others."
Bai Zhi: "..."
... So this is the reason why you have been fighting with Qingyi and the others for food
… … … … … … … …
Although I don't like it when a useless person who just eats and drinks comes back again, at least one more person can help.
This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, how could you know it is not a blessing
... Bai Zhi thought so at the beginning.
Looking at a few lolita girls, a pink-haired girl and a dog who were having a great time having a snowball fight and building a snowman outside the courtyard, Bai Zhi, who stayed indoors and kneaded the dough hard, had an expressionless face.
Qingyi Anna and the others are children by nature, so he can understand that they excitedly ran to build snowmen and have snowball fights, but how can you, an old monster who has lived for who knows how many years, be able to perfectly blend into a lolita? between
…It’s disrespectful to be old! ! !
But what made Bai Zhi feel more gratified was that after playing in the snow outside for a while, Qingyi and the others ran back again and gathered around him.
"Your Highness, are you planning to barbecue this today?"
Looking at Bai Zhi who was busy making dumplings at the table, Anna looked curious.
In the past few days, in addition to eating takeout, they had barbecue every day, otherwise a certain pink-haired girl would not be able to bear it and run away from home.
So now, when she saw Bai Zhi busy at work, Anna's first reaction was to barbecue again.
"No, making dumplings today?"
While kneading the dough according to the instructions on the video, Bai Zhi smiled and started talking.
"New Year is coming soon, and our New Year custom here is to eat dumplings."
"What's this?"
Pointing to the three coins placed aside, Qingyi asked with some confusion.
"These coins shouldn't be edible, right?"
"Of course you can't eat these coins... just a game."
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi answered.
"At that time, I will wrap the coins separately in the dumplings. According to legend, whoever can eat the coins in the dumplings at the end will be very happy for the next year."
"Really?"
After hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Qingyi's eyes suddenly lit up.
—A certain white-haired loli has always believed in these legends.
"Of course."
Seeing the expression on Qing Yi's face, Bai Zhi laughed.
"Only the luckiest people get the coins."
"Brother will definitely be able to eat it."
Pulling the corner of his clothes with her hand, and holding the book with one hand, Hitomi spoke softly.
After staying with Qingyi Anna for so long, although Hitomi's character is still introverted and rarely speaks, compared with the beginning, it has become much better.
"Then thank you Hitomi for your kind words."
After being stunned for a moment, Bai Zhi smiled at the other party.
Originally, he wanted to rub the other person's head with his hands, but looking at the hands covered with flour, he thought about it and decided to do it.
To be honest, with [Street Writer] and [Miracles of Improbable Probability] here, it won’t be easy for who he wants to get the coins by then
-These three coins were originally specially prepared by him for these three lolita.
"...The most evil lolicon."
Sitting alone with Xiao Hua in her arms, a certain pink-haired girl whispered something in her mouth.
… … … … … … … … … …
The process of making dumplings is inherently cumbersome, especially for beginners.
So it was not until noon that Bai Zhi finally mixed the dough and kneaded the dough.
But when he put on the dumpling wrappers and was about to open them, another big problem arose.
… The dumpling wrapper doesn’t stick at all.
Just when Bai Zhi was puzzled about this, the three lolita that had been surrounding the table ran away one after another.
"… Well?"
Looking at the lolita running upstairs, Bai Zhi slightly looked a little confused.
"No, there's something wrong with your dumpling skin!!"
After trying several times with patience, and finally successfully rolling out a Rasengan in her hand, a certain pink-haired girl's patience was finally exhausted, and she threw the Rasengan in her hand on the table. There was a loud shouting.
"Impossible, my dumpling wrapper skills are unparalleled in the world!!"
Bai Zhi retorted without thinking.
"Then you come and try it!?"
Looking at someone in front of him who was convinced that his skills were the problem, a certain pink-haired girl felt a little itchy inexplicably.
"Ignoring the issue of whether the dumplings will fall apart when put in water, you can't even wrap them up. Are you planning to make pancakes later!?"
"I said, it's not the dumpling wrapper's problem, it's your problem."
Bai Zhi shook his head, looking confident.
"The reason why you can't wrap it up must be that you haven't found the trick."
"… you!?"
While the pink-haired girl was getting angry, the three lolita who originally ran upstairs ran down together and returned to the table with something in their hands.
Then, the three lolita raised their hands amidst the dumbfounded gazes of the two people, and proudly showed them the magical props they had found that could solve the current problem.
Strong glue, a sewing kit... and a stapler.
Bai Zhi: "..."
Pink-haired girl: "..."
living comfortably without anybody's help.
In fact, if Bai Zhi really wanted to, eating would not be a problem at all. Whether he casually went to the Shadow World to post a mission, or went to the relevant department to make a plate of dumplings and come back, it would not be a problem for him. .
But food like this has no soul.
Just like the pink-haired girl said that food is the most delicious when you eat it with others, you can only feel the sense of accomplishment by making dumplings yourself.
But even though that’s what I said…
Seeing the three lolita in front of him who all looked like they were begging for praise and flattery, Bai Zhiyou was very silent for a while.
I have to say that these lolita still have some logical thinking ability, and they can solve the current problems very well... So who raised these lolita to be like this
While Bai Zhi was deep in thought, the doorbell suddenly rang at the door.
"...at this time?"
Bai Zhi raised his head and glanced at the time on the clock. After pondering for a moment, he wiped his hands with a towel on the side. Bai Zhi stood up and walked towards the courtyard.
To be honest, he was a little curious about who would be coming at this time...
"Happy New Year, senior~"
Standing in front of Bai Zhi with her hands behind her back, the girl dressed in elegant clothes looked well-behaved.
Bai Zhi: "..."
"...Why are you here?"
"Because I want to be a senior, and I want to celebrate the New Year with my seniors."
She raised her head and looked at him with a generous expression on her face.
"..."
