Kanagawa Taoist College Students

"Whose suitcase is this?" Mai Guasheng took out the black suitcase. At least she had never seen this thing before going to the academy this morning.

Next to them, Majima Yuki and others looked over with doubts on their faces. Only Chiba Sayuri's eyes narrowed slightly: "That belongs to Koji-kun." She had the impression that this black suitcase was... The man gave it to him.

"Is it from Nujiang?" Mai Guasheng was startled, then turned to look at someone busy in the kitchen, "Yujiang, what is in here?"

Li Xuehao looked back and said, "I didn't know either, that was a gift from Sayuri's father." He came back in a hurry in the morning, so he stuffed the suitcase under the coffee table, and let Mai Kuaou turn it out.

"Can you open it and take a look?" Mai Guasheng was immediately full of interest. Of course, in order to respect Chiba Sayuri, she also glanced at Chiba Sayuri.

"Open it." Li Xuehao was busy with dinner in the kitchen and had no time to care about Mai Guasheng's "invasion" of privacy. Moreover, in his opinion, the "thank you gift" given to him by Chiba Sayuri's father was not what he thought it was. Something shady.

After getting the consent, Mai Guasheng excitedly lifted the suitcase, feeling a little strenuous as the contents inside seemed heavy.

She put the suitcase on the coffee table, unlocked the locks on both sides, and then opened it... When she saw the contents inside, Mai Guasheng's expression suddenly froze, shocked, disbelieving, and even a little bit fanatical.

Majima Yuki and others who were watching from the side also looked shocked, and they were all "scared" by the contents of the suitcase.

What was inside the suitcase was not a luxury item, but a pile of neatly folded money. Each one was a 10,000 yen note, filling the entire suitcase space. According to preliminary estimates, it was at least tens of millions of yen.

"Okay, okay, okay...a lot of money!" Mai Guasheng was completely shocked. This was the first time she saw so much cash. This kind of shock was definitely the biggest in her life.

"Money?" Li Xuehao, who was busy in the kitchen, could clearly hear the sound of breathing coming from the living room. He looked back again and was slightly surprised when he saw the suitcase filled with money. Unexpectedly, Chiba Sayuri's father's thank you gift was so simple and rude, it could almost be said that he was "smashed" with money.

"It's all mine." Mai Guasheng was addicted to the charm of money, but her reason was still there and she didn't hug her in her arms and shout "Mine, it's all mine".

Even Majima Yuki, who originally had no idea about money, stared blankly at the box of money, at a loss. And Yuko Sawai, who is as obsessed with money as Mai Kuanao, can't wait to lie down in the suitcase, her eyes are shining with gold, and she is biting her fingers unconsciously.

On the side, Ryoko Mizuhashi was dismissive. As a rich lady, she didn't care about such a small amount of money. Kachiko Mizuhashi didn't understand what money was at all. Sayuri Chiba had no expression on her face, staring at the box of money. Know what to think.

"Nujiang, this money..." Mai Guasheng swallowed hard. She regretted opening the box in front of everyone. Although she was not considered an outsider here, she still felt that it was not that good.

"Sayuri, please put it away." Most people will definitely feel uneasy or ecstatic when receiving such a super expensive gift. Li Xuehao has neither of these emotions. Firstly, the money is not much to him, and secondly, this is Chiba Sayuri's father thanked him for saving his life, and he felt at ease accepting it.

"Yes." Chiba Sayuri nodded. As a wife, it is also a wife's duty to help her husband put away expensive gifts.

…

After such an episode, the feast Li Xuehao cooked was almost completed. Of course, he would not really cook just one dish.

There are pan-fried matsutake mushrooms, in which white mushrooms are added, so that the fragrant aroma of matsutake and mushrooms are blended together, giving a more unique and compelling aroma.

And this dish alone was enough for several people in the family to eat, because he finished cooking the matsutake mushrooms he bought in one go, leaving no trace left.

There are also mushroom miso soup and potato stewed beef. The latter is also seasoned with lingzhi mushrooms. The taste produced by this method also has a rich aroma.

Because half of the spiritually planted white mushrooms were put away, only half of them could be used to make these three dishes, but Li Xuehao was already satisfied.

When the three dishes were finished, the rich aroma not only spread in the living room and kitchen, but even spread to the neighbors on the left and right through the half-closed windows of the home.

…

Xigu's house, Li Yao'er's room, Wan Caihong is also there. As guests staying at Xigu's house, both of them have separate rooms, but they will often chat in the same room and exchange information on each other. Practice experience.

Opportunities like this didn't come often in the past, but now that we are in a foreign country, our relationship has become even closer.

Li Yaoer's room is on the second floor, facing the entrance to the courtyard. Her floor-to-ceiling windows are usually open, because this not only allows for ventilation, but also allows you to go outside to the balcony to look at the scenery when you are bored.

The two were chatting about interesting topics when suddenly an unusual aroma came from outside. They both took a deep breath at the same time, and then their eyes suddenly lit up.

"This is……"

Ignoring chatting, Li Yaoer and Wan Caihong stood up from the tatami and walked out to the balcony together.

Following the source of the scent, the two quickly determined where the scent was coming from.

"Are you making alchemy?" Wan Caihong stared at the house on the right, his eyes flickering slightly.

"No, alchemy doesn't taste like this." Li Yao'er shook his head solemnly and took a deep breath. He felt refreshed but also had a strong look of disbelief, "He... …”

There were no more words after that, which made Wan Caihong beside her anxious. After all, Li Yaoer was born in a family of alchemy, and he must know much more about the process of alchemy than a practitioner like her who was not even a dabbler. This kind of constant influence With the scent of spiritual energy, she couldn't think of anything else except the movement while refining the elixir, or rather she didn't dare to think that way.

"That person was using heavenly materials and earthly treasures for dinner, that's why this kind of fragrance came out." Li Yaoer said with a bitter look on his face. It was difficult for her family to find a kind of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to make elixirs, but others just took them. When it comes to dishes with such a strong aroma, they must taste very good, and for practitioners, it has the same effect as a panacea.

"Then, so extravagant?" Wan Caihong was also shocked. She had actually smelt the scent that made people want to drool. She just didn't believe it. After all, such behavior was too extravagant. Well, no normal practitioner would do that, and in the end, she really encountered one.

"Do you think that if we come to visit now, he will stay with us for dinner?" Wan Caihong couldn't stand the stimulation of that fragrance, and felt her stomach tightening, and suddenly a crazy idea came to her.
