Chapter 332: Delicious Food

The child rejoiced: "I've only entered the palace once, and you already miss me?"

Qin Bi followed Rong Juan, hiding no affection for the child: "I love our Rong Juan so much; I feel empty inside if I don't see him for a moment. What do you want to eat? We'll make something delicious."

Rong Juan grinned: "Spicy duck heads."

Qin Bi smiled brightly: "Then we'll eat spicy duck heads."

The young prince didn't want to leave; the Wang Fu kitchen was making spicy duck heads. Thinking of the spicy taste of duck heads, the child swallowed his saliva. Eunuch Fu was troubled and looked at Qin Bi.

Qin Bi, holding Rong Juan, turned back: "A spirit bird duck has only one duck head."

The young prince immediately said: "I don't have to eat the duck head."

Eunuch Fu left, and the young prince stayed.

Qin Bi sent someone to Qin Yan Hou Fu to convey a message to Qin Di: if the family was eating spirit bird ducks, they should give her the duck heads. Qin Di and his wife ate one spirit bird duck a day, and the families of Qin Tang and Qin Xun would also kill two or three to eat.

After all, they all had children; their spiritual roots needed nourishment.

"What is it?" He Shi asked.

Qin Di turned and said: "Qin Bi wants duck heads; I guess it's for a child to eat."

He Shi heard this and felt no impropriety. She instructed Jiang Shi in the kitchen to keep the spirit bird duck heads, and also to keep the duck heads from the spirit bird ducks killed by the families of Qin Tang and Qin Xun.

Qin Lang was in the Fourth House at that moment. Hearing this, he specially ran back to the Third House.

Zhu Shi was in the kitchen. Qin Lang asked: "Mother, where are the duck heads?"

Zhu Shi asked: "What's wrong?"

"My sister wants them." Qin Lang explained: "It must be for a child to eat braised duck heads or something. How many spirit bird ducks were killed today? Give me all the duck heads; I'll take them to Fourth Aunt."

Zhu Shi chopped the duck heads off the cleaned spirit bird ducks: "Four."

Qin Tan's cultivation base needed monster crystals. Without monster crystals, they could only eat more spirit bird ducks. With so many spirit bird ducks, Qin Tan figured they should at least raise the family's cultivation base.

There was no question of being reluctant to eat; raising the cultivation base was more important.

Qin Lang took the duck heads back to the Fourth House's courtyard. Remembering something, he ran to the First House, saw Qin Yan running over, and mentioned to Qin Yan that Qin Bi wanted duck heads for a child.

Qin Yan heard that Qin Bi's child wanted to eat and instructed the Heir's Wife: "Go get the duck heads and give them to Qin Lang."

"This..." the Heir's Wife hesitated: "Giving them to Qin Bi's child but not Qin He's child doesn't seem right. Should we save two for Qin He's child too? It's better to keep the two families separate. With six duck heads, we can keep two for ourselves."

Qin Yan glanced coldly at the Heir's Wife. The Heir's Wife felt uneasy. Qin Yan personally went to the kitchen, gave the six spirit bird duck heads to Qin Lang, and Qin Lang accepted them without ceremony.

"Eldest Cousin." Qin Lang felt he had to speak: "Don't give the spirit bird duck heads to Qin He. My sister Qin Bi and I both dislike Qin He. Besides, Qin He caused us no end of trouble in the small space of the Monster Realm."

Qin Yan would not meddle in the matter between Qin Bi and Qin He, but these spirit bird ducks were caught thanks to the summoning magic treasure provided by Qin Bi, so Qin Yan had to consider that. Also, during the trip to the small space of the Monster Realm, Qin Yan had felt some displaced anger toward Qin He.

"Rest assured." Qin Yan said: "You come over every day. When a spirit bird duck is killed, you take the duck head to Qin Bi."

Qin Lang happily agreed; he would definitely come every day.

The Heir's Wife approached and said: "Won't you save two duck heads for our children?"

Qin Yan narrowed his eyes, feeling somewhat displeased with the Heir's Wife, and said: "Eating duck heads is just about enjoying a novelty. The spiritual energy in the spirit bird duck meat is the same as in the duck heads. Must you fight over the duck heads?"

The Heir's Wife realized Qin Yan was unhappy and immediately smiled, saying: "Look at what you say. I was just mentioning it. Children all love eating duck heads. I originally wanted to save two for our own children."

Qin Lang looked at Qin Yan. Qin Yan waved his hand, telling Qin Lang to just take them.

"Qin He and Qin Bi are the same; both are the best marriages our Marquis House has made." The Heir's Wife, unwilling to part with Qin He's money, said: "Heir, for the sake of the Marquis House, it's not good to favor one over the other, is it?!"

Qin Yan sneered: "Without Qin He, I would have received even more spirit bird ducks."

The Heir's Wife was speechless. Indeed, it was enough to be vexing. This Qin He, who usually seemed so capable and well-connected, had been fine working with everyone on the shops for so many years, yet after going to the small space of the Monster Realm, she had lost her wits.

Qin Yan called Qin Lang to leave with him. Qin Lang thought Qin Yan was angry at the Heir's Wife.

Qin Yan walked out of the courtyard and said: "I'm going to Su Guogong Fu to ask if they killed any spirit bird ducks today."

Qin Lang immediately became happy. Qin Yan also smiled and stepped away.

Su He Shizi heard Qin Bi wanted duck heads and, without a second word, gave four duck heads. Second Young Master Su also said: "I'm eating spirit bird duck tomorrow too. My child needs to strengthen his constitution, so we kill a spirit bird duck every day. My older brother doesn't eat duck heads either. If Qin Bi wants them all, take them."

Qin Yan took the duck heads back and delivered them to the Fourth House.

Rong Yan and Jiang Xu heard about it and sent duck heads over too. Duck heads and duck meat were the same; the spiritual energy in the duck meat was just as abundant as in the duck heads. Both families also said they would kill a spirit bird duck every day.

Rong Yan and Jiang Xu also sent duck wings over. Duck wings were delicious too. The Wang Fu Heir's Wife wanted them, and Rong Yan and Jiang Xu were not stingy. They had enough sense to see that maintaining a good relationship with the Wang Fu was correct.

Qin Lang and Qin Tang delivered them to Qin Bi. The young prince saw so many duck heads and his eyes went wide.

Qin Bi was surprised: "Why so many?"

"Rong Juan and Rong Chi like to eat them, so I'll send them every day." Qin Tang gave the duck heads and duck wings to the guards, who took them to the kitchen. Qin Tang said: "Su He Shizi, Rong Yan, and Jiang Xu heard about it and also sent duck heads and duck wings to the Marquis House."

Qin Lang mimicked: "Eldest Cousin's Wife even wanted to give a few duck heads to Qin He, but Eldest Cousin ignored her."

Qin Bi understood what the Heir's Wife was thinking. After seeing off Qin Tang and Qin Lang, she immediately ordered the cook to make spicy duck heads and duck wings. This pot was quite large. Rong Juan sent his younger son, Rong Chi, over.

The little milk bun kicked his little legs, wanting to eat. Qin Bi peeled boiled melon seeds for him to eat while they waited for the spicy duck heads and duck wings.

The cook used generous ingredients in this pot. As it neared completion, the aroma of the ingredients made people drool. The young prince busied himself teasing the little milk bun and helping watch the child, worried he wouldn't get to eat a bite of meat.

After the spicy duck heads were cooked, they let them simmer for a while longer.

When the spicy duck heads were brought to the table, the young prince reached out to hold the little milk bun: "I'll feed the child for the Heir's Wife."

Qin Bi: "..."

To get a bite of spicy duck head, the young prince was truly sensible.

Rong Juan: "..."

Rong Juan said: "Eat yours."

The young prince paused, then realized what was meant. The young prince broke into a smile.

Qin Bi held the little milk bun. Rong Juan took him, nodded his chin, and said: "You eat with the child."

Rong Juan gave Qin Bi a spicy duck head and took one for himself to eat. Seeing this, Qin Bi also started eating.
