The Supreme Female From Past Chapter 3

Ivy Song walked out of the room and stayed under the eaves for a while. She looked around at the scenery and was now even more certain of the fact that she had traveled through time.

Her home is located in a remote area, with only a few families around at a glance. Her home is built in front of a lake and has a medium-sized yard with some seasonal vegetables planted in it.

The yard was surrounded by bamboo sticks, probably because they were afraid that some wild animals would come nearby and destroy the food and vegetables.

On the far left side of the yard, there is a peach tree with thick branches. It looks like it is quite old.

Ivy Song walked forward curiously and found that the lush green leaves were full of fruits. Some were still green, while others were already ripe, with the tips showing a mouth-watering pink color.

A breeze blew over, and the fruity fragrance filled the air and went into her nostrils. She took a deep breath, and saliva started to flow between her lips and teeth, making her even hungrier.

Caleb Duan, who was standing behind her, saw her standing in front of the ripe peaches. Although he hated her, he still walked forward and stretched his slender white hands into the green branches and leaves.

Ivy Song was looking at the peach at first, until Caleb Duan appeared and gently held the fruit with his beautiful hand. The distinct joints and the crisscrossing green veins under the fair skin... made her feel that his hand was more delicious than the fruit.

He turned his thin wrist slightly, and there was a click, and he handed her the plump peach in his hand.

"I don't know if it's sweet or not. My wife, please try it. If it's sweet, Caleb Duan will pick some and put it down."

He had no idea what was going on in Ivy Song's mind. If he knew, he would definitely call her a promiscuous person in his heart. Fortunately, he didn't know how to read minds, so he just thought that she was very hungry, so she was staring at the peach in his hand and didn't want to look away.

"Thanks."

When Ivy Song thought of the inappropriate images in his mind, his face turned red and he hurriedly took the peach and went into the kitchen next door.

What she didn't know was how surprised Caleb Duan's expression was when she said "thank you".

She...has been...possessed?

In the memories that Caleb Duan didn't want to recall, Ivy Song had always been a rude person who had no idea what etiquette was. It was simply a fantasy to hear words like "thank you" from her.

But just now, he...heard her say thank you?

It’s really weird...How come I feel like a different person after waking up?

No, when Lucas Sheng comes back, he has to talk to Lucas Sheng about what just happened.

Ivy Song in the kitchen casually glanced at the things inside. There wasn't much, just a stove.

A shiny knife and a wooden block for cutting vegetables were neatly placed on the stove. In the corner were piled chopped firewood and some dried mushrooms. On the wall were some red peppers and garlics. Apart from these, there was nothing else.

Well, the kitchen is relatively clean. After all, it is a place for eating. If it is dirty, who would want to eat there?

Ivy Song placed the chicken on a wooden block, picked up a knife and gently cut the chicken's breast. The chicken's internal organs and blood instantly spilled out. She frowned, and although her expression showed disgust, for the sake of her own stomach, she had to endure the fishy smell of the raw meat and clean out the internal organs.

After some effort, the whole chicken was cleaned very cleanly. The chicken feathers and the blood-like things hidden between the bones were also carefully dug out and cleaned.

After cleaning the chicken, she carefully washed the wooden block and began to prepare the ingredients. After all these were done, she remembered that there was no fire in the stove yet.

Ivy Song slapped his head, squatted down and found a half-used fire starter beside the stove.

It will be easy with a fire starter.

she thinks.

After the fire was lit, all that was left to do was to wait. During this time, Ivy Song washed his hands and peaches, then leaned on the stove and nibbled on the crispy and exceptionally sweet peaches.

Outside the kitchen, Caleb Duan saw Lucas Sheng approaching from afar. He walked over with full of doubts. After meeting Lucas Sheng, he dragged Lucas Sheng away for a few steps. "Did something happen?"

Seeing Caleb Duan had a strange look on his face, Lucas Sheng thought that Ivy Song had bullied him again when he was away. He frowned and took a step forward as if to find the culprit.

"Oh, wait, that's not it."

Caleb Duan hurriedly stopped Lucas Sheng and explained.

"So what happened?"

he asks.

"I feel like something is wrong with my wife, you know? Just now, my wife actually said thank you to me!"

Caleb Duan is timid. He recalled a thunderstorm night when he could hear Ivy Song's painful moans coming from her room with flickering candlelight. The sounds were as scary as those of a ghost. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but imagine that Ivy Song had died on the night when the cold was the worst, and the one who was alive now was her ghost!

Compared to Caleb Duan's timidity, a strange look quickly flashed across Lucas Sheng's eyes. He looked into the distance at the kitchen where smoke was rising from the chimney, and the smile on the corners of his mouth became increasingly cold.

"Don't think too much."

Lucas Sheng simply replied him with three words, and then he and Caleb Duan strode towards the shabby cottage under the setting sun.

Ivy Song, who was busy in the kitchen, had no idea that the conversation between Lucas Sheng and Caleb Duan was about her. Her cheeks were hot from the temperature in the kitchen, and beads of sweat kept dripping down.

I really miss the kitchen in the 21st century.

She wiped the sweat off her face while stirring the thick white chicken soup in the big pot. She saw the soup bubbling in the pot and her stomach growled at the aroma of the chicken soup that filled the room.

OK!

The soup was bubbling, and she threw the chopped green onions into the chicken soup. Almost instantly, the aroma of the chicken soup reached a new level.

Sure enough, the chopped green onions were perfect, perfectly removing the fishy smell of the chicken soup and adding the unique aroma of green onions.

Ivy Song couldn't help but scoop a little bit into her mouth with a spoon. The aroma of meat and onion burst in her mouth, and she squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

Caleb Duan and Lucas Sheng who were outside the house naturally also smelled the fragrance. They looked at each other and involuntarily swallowed the saliva in their mouths.

"When did my wife's cooking skills become so good? Could it be that my wife really..."

"Don't let your imagination run wild."

Lucas Sheng interrupted his wandering thoughts and repeated the sentence.

Caleb Duan licked his thin lips. Although he was not very hungry, the aroma of the chicken soup aroused his appetite. The same was true for Lucas Sheng. Ever since Ivy Song caught a cold, he and Caleb Duan had not had a good meal for a long time.

"How about we ask my wife today?"

Caleb Duan suggested.

"Can't."

Lucas Sheng decisively refused.

"But..."

"Hey, you two, the chicken soup is ready, come and eat!"

Ivy Song walked out of the kitchen, looked up and saw two men walking towards them, and shouted. Caleb Duan had already been tempted by the chicken soup, so he naturally did not refuse. Lucas Sheng, on the other hand, did not agree or refuse, which made Caleb Duan a little hesitant.

"Let's go together."

Lucas Sheng knew what Caleb Duan was thinking. Once, Ivy Song prepared a meal for Caleb Duan while he was out. Caleb Duan thought it was just a meal and nothing unexpected would happen, so he ate it. But Ivy Song put drugs in the food, hoping to force himself on him while Caleb Duan was in a daze.

Fortunately, the dosage of medicine Ivy Song gave him was not large, and Caleb Duan recovered quickly. He ran to the market and did not dare to go home. If he had not been at the market at the time, Caleb Duan would probably have stayed there all night.

Since then, Caleb Duan no longer dared to eat alone with Ivy Song. Most of the time, he prepared three meals a day and rarely let her do it.

When the two arrived at the kitchen, they saw three bowls of milky white chicken soup on the stove with green chopped green onions floating on top. The aroma was so fragrant that it whetted their appetite.

"Eat quickly, I've made a lot."

Ivy Song was almost starving. She felt as if she hadn't eaten for a month. She picked up the chopsticks without caring about her personal image and put the bowl into her mouth.

She blanched the chicken in water before cooking to remove most of the fishy smell. Then she fried it in lard, and the remaining bloody smell was completely gone, leaving only the aroma of meat.

The chicken soup cooked in this way is very fragrant and not greasy. The reason is that the chickens in this dynasty were not eaten well and did not contain much chicken fat. Therefore, even if lard is added, the soup does not taste greasy.

The most important thing is that when the chicken soup was halfway through, she found porcini among the pair of fungi that could make the chicken soup more delicious. Without saying a word, she cut the porcini into thin strips, washed them, and put them into the chicken soup to cook. The result was that the soup was exceptionally delicious as she expected.

Seeing how happily she was eating, Caleb Duan and Lucas Sheng also picked up their chopsticks, picked up their bowls, and took a sip of the chicken soup.

"Delicious!"

Caleb Duan's eyes widened, and his originally gentle demeanor was abandoned. He picked up the chopsticks and started to enjoy the food.

Lucas Sheng was different. Although he was also surprised at the deliciousness of the chicken soup, he was more curious about how she removed the fishy smell from the chicken soup. He had tried many methods before, but none of them solved this problem.

"First, the chicken must be cleaned inside and out, especially the feathers that have not been plucked. If they are not plucked cleanly, the chicken soup will be particularly fishy. Second, before using the chicken to make soup, it must be blanched in water and scallions, ginger and garlic are added to remove the fishy smell. Third, I fried the chicken pieces in lard to completely remove the remaining fishy smell in the chicken pieces after blanching. This is also the key to the thick and white chicken soup."

"Fourth, I found a kind of mushroom among those mushrooms that can be used to add flavor to chicken soup. You can try it. It's delicious."

After saying that, she served herself another bowl and picked up the porcini mushrooms from it and chewed them.

The familiar fragrance reminded her of the mushroom hotpot she had eaten in a homestay when she was traveling in Yunnan. It was so fresh and fragrant that she lingered on it.

"So that's how it is..."

"But the wife..."

"Ayuan, remember, you never cooked like this before..."
