So what! Are you going to kill me?

Chapter 139 Koi Village 3

The guy kept smiling, glanced at Jin Cancan, and replied, "No problem, I'll move the fish tank away as soon as I've settled the immortals."

He agreed without hesitation.

The waiter arranged rooms for them. Lin Yanqiu and Yan Qiyun's rooms were next to each other, while Jiang Chao and Sun Nongqiao's rooms were at the other end opposite the door. Jin Cancan was in the middle and was isolated.

"Please rest assured, Immortals. We will deliver dinner and breakfast tomorrow to you. If you need anything else, you can always call us."

"Well, I hope you all can have a good sleep."

After saying that, the guy left.

Several people crowded into the golden room.

"Cancan, do you want to change rooms with me?" Lin Yanqiu asked, "You can live next to Senior Brother, so you can have someone to take care of you if something happens."

Jin Cancan is a formation cultivator after all. Although he also practices sword, it is dangerous here and he may not be able to protect himself. It is better for him to stay close to the senior brother.

Jin Cancan rejected him: "It's okay, it's nice here."

Sun Nongqiao checked the room and found nothing strange. He felt relieved and reminded, "Remember to lock the room at night."

"Are we really not going out at night?" Jiang Chao whispered, "It feels like the secret of this Koi Village is hidden at night."

"We won't go out." Yan Qiyun made the decision, "We are here on our first day, so we will definitely be watched closely. Let's wait until tomorrow to take action."

After discussing for a while, as it got dark, they returned to their own rooms.

Jin Cancan looked around the room. Although it was simple, it was fully furnished.

An old carved wooden bed with carp patterns carved on the bedposts. The bed curtains were made of dark red silk, which had faded slightly in some places. The bed was covered with thick bedding, which was gray in color but very soft.

There was a wooden table next to the bed. The paint on the table was a little mottled, and on it lay a chipped teapot and several rough teacups. Next to the table was a round stool, one of the legs of which seemed to be worn and slightly tilted.

There was a box in the corner of the room with a rusty copper lock hanging on it. On the wall next to the box hung a painting. In the painting, there was a huge koi carp flying through the clouds. The koi carp's eyes were very bright, as if staring at the golden color.

Jin Cancan raised her eyebrows, took down the painting, turned it over, and hung it back.

There was a small window on one side of the room, covered with translucent oil paper. Some places were damaged and there were cobwebs on the window. Jin Cancan cleaned it up and pulled the curtains. The whole room became much darker.

knock knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

"Master, I've brought you dinner."

It was that guy's voice.

Jin Cancan didn't say anything. He didn't hear any footsteps just now. Could it be that they floated over?

knock knock knock.

The man knocked on the door persistently.

Jin Cancan ignored it completely, took out the photo stone, injected some spiritual power into it, but found that it could not be activated at all.

She raised her eyebrows slightly and took out the communication stone again. As expected, the communication stone could not be used either.

The guy saw that Jin Cancan didn't open the door and seemed to have left.

Jin Cancan heard a knock on the door of the next room, followed by the sound of dishes colliding and whispered conversations. She walked closer to the door and listened carefully to the noise outside.

The second room on the left opened, then the third, and the fourth. After a while, it seemed that they went to the opposite side, and it was Lin Yanqiu's room. Lin Yanqiu seemed to say something to the waiter. Then Yan Qiyun's door also opened, and a low and inaudible conversation was heard, followed by two door closing sounds.

The waiter continued to deliver meals to the guests in the rooms opposite. Jiang Chao and Sun Nongqiao both opened the door for him. After they talked in low voices for a few words, there was no more movement.

Jin Cancan waited patiently for a while, but still didn't hear any footsteps.

As if sensing something, she looked through the crack in the door, and through the tiny gap there was an eye closely attached to it, peeping inside.

Jin Cancan suddenly opened the door, and the waiter was caught off guard and fell inside. The plate in his hand lost balance instantly, and with a "crash", the plate fell over, and the two dishes and a soup spilled over. The bowls and basins collided with each other, making a series of crisp and harsh cracking sounds.

Jin Cancan glanced outside and saw that no guests opened the door to see what was going on.

She quickly closed the door and went to help the guy: "Are you okay?"

The waiter had a gloomy face. He got up without saying a word and said in a dark tone, "Why don't you open the door, Immortal?"

Jin Cancan said innocently, "I fell asleep, what are you doing at the door?"

The waiter pointed to the leftovers on the ground and said, "Send the food."

Jin Cancan nodded: "I'm not hungry, thank you."

The waiter shook his head slightly: "Everyone saw you enter our Koi Inn. If you don't eat the dinner we prepared, everyone will say that we didn't entertain you well."

Jin Cancan sighed and said, "But the dishes you sent me are not to my liking. I usually eat much better than this."

The guy stared at her in shock. He offered free food and lodging, so who wouldn't be polite?

This was the first time he had met such a picky person!

He held back for a moment and spoke again: "I will send another portion. I hope you can do me the honor of eating it all. This is the rule of the inn. I hope you won't make it difficult for me."

Jin Cancan nodded in a very pleasant manner: "Okay, then, I'll give you a portion of steamed sea bass, but the fish must be freshly caught from the pond, killed and cooked right after."

"When killing the fish, you must be quick and not let the fish suffer too much, otherwise the meat will become tight. Also, when steaming, you must use mountain spring water without any impurities, and you must control the heat well. Steam the fish over high heat for five minutes to let it set, then turn to low heat and steam for eight minutes to allow the fish to fully absorb the flavor of the steam."

"By the way, put a few slices of ginger and scallions on the fish to remove the fishy smell when steaming it. Don't put too much or too little. Also prepare a dipping sauce. Use freshly chopped ginger and garlic, add soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, a small amount of sugar and a few drops of sesame oil, and mix well. Remember, the garlic must be mashed into a paste with a garlic mortar, and don't chop it with a knife. This way the garlic flavor will be more intense."

The waiter clenched his fists upon hearing this. He had never seen such a shameless cultivator before. If it weren't for the rules of the Koi Inn, he wouldn't be able to get angry. He would have wanted to attack her right now.

His face was gloomy. He squatted down to pick up the pieces and said perfunctorily: "Okay, I will do as you ask."

Unexpectedly, Jin Cancan pressed on: "Well, give me another portion of stir-fried seasonal vegetables. The vegetables should be the tenderest parts, and the leaves should not be yellow or damaged at all. When washing, rinse them three times with running water to ensure that there is no dirt left."

“You should use lard when frying so that the dishes will be fragrant. First, add the garlic and cut it into thin slices. Put it in when the oil is 70% hot. When the garlic is slightly golden, pour the vegetables in and stir-fry quickly. Add some salt and chicken essence to season. Don’t add too much salt, otherwise it will cover up the freshness of the vegetables. When the vegetables are cooked through, they can be served.”
