Chapter 579: Chapter 579: Supply What is Lacking

“Try some of this water.” Qiao Xiaomai fetched a bowl of water from the void.

Tong Sanlang took it and took a small sip. Then he drank it all, “Yes, it tastes much better.”

He drank this water almost every day, and he could perceive the change.

“This is good news,” he began, “Your cooking skills will be even more extraordinary.”

“It’s a bit of a shame if it only enhances my cooking skills. I’d like it to have practical benefits,” she said, thinking of things like strengthening and invigorating health.

She didn’t yearn for miraculous effects like resurrecting the dead or turning flesh to bone, but if it couldn’t even alleviate her menstrual cramps, it couldn’t really bear the claim of being a “spiritual” elixir.

“At this rate, it might actually become a Spiritual Spring.” Tong Sanlang emphasized the word ‘spiritual’. Of course, this was based on fact. Qiao Xiaomai had only crossed over less than half a year ago, and the quality of the Spiritual Spring water had been constantly improving. He didn’t know what its limits were, but its upward trend was always good.

“That’s right.” Qiao Xiaomai nodded vehemently at his words.

As long as it kept improving, that was great!

“Shall we go to town? I want to buy you some things to replenish your strength,” Qiao Xiaomai’s thoughts quickly returned to Tong Sanlang’s body.

At her suggestion, Tong Sanlang blinked.

To be honest, he felt a little embarrassed.

After being reckless for just two nights, his usually robust body surprisingly couldn’t keep up. Was he like a pretty pillow, nice to look at but not useful?

Qiao Xiaomai was staring at him, and she noticed his embarrassment. She chuckled and leaned over to kiss him, “I’m very pleased with you, in every aspect.”

He’s a towering figure at 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a slim waist, no extra flesh on his body, and an exceptionally handsome face. Moreover, he could send her floating on cloud nine every night. The youth in front of her couldn’t be more excellent!

Hearing Qiao Xiaomai praise him in every aspect by his ear, Tong Sanlang’s embarrassment quickly faded.

Well, as long as Qiao Xiaomai was satisfied with him, he didn’t have to overthink.

After eating this meal that was neither lunch nor breakfast, Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang took out the oxcart and really went into town.

With the principle of replenishing what was used, Qiao Xiaomai wanted to buy lamb kidneys, but Tong Sanlang stopped her. If they brought that home, where would he place his face?

He only allowed her to buy some food items with less obvious stamina-boosting effects.

Qiao Xiaomai heeded his advice, but, still concerned, she specifically took him to Ji Wei Ju.

If they didn’t take it home, then eating it here should be fine, right?

She ordered all sorts of dishes with stamina-boosting effects like pig kidneys, lamb kidneys, chive shrimp, and so on. Then Shopkeeper He came up, a look of hesitation on his face.

Tong Sanlang felt really embarrassed, “Change it, order something else.”

“Change what? These are the ones. Shopkeeper, serve the dishes.” Qiao Xiaomai directly pulled out a banknote, displaying her extravagance openly.

“No need, I have silver.” He had just earned fifty taels yesterday.

Qiao Xiaomai looked at him and narrowed her eyes, “You want to make clear distinctions with me?”

There were other people present. Seeing Qiao Xiaomai’s expression, Tong Sanlang sighed quietly, “You decide.”

Only then was Qiao Xiaomai satisfied. She looked towards Shopkeeper He, “Shopkeeper, hurry up with our dishes.”

It was mealtime, so the restaurant was crowded.

Shopkeeper He laughed and agreed. He took the banknote and left.

The retired emperor had decreed not to have any dealings with Ji Wei Ju. Patrons had to spend silver when they ate there.
