The path in the field did not look complicated, but under Shao 'an's concept of walking down a path to the end, the simple path naturally became complicated.
Night slowly descended. Shao 'an had long become extremely hungry from walking for a long time. The faith that supported him earlier came from his firm belief that there was hope ahead.
After Shao 'an's hope was destroyed, all the negative effects that he had suppressed in the early stages erupted. What made him feel the most uncomfortable was his bulging stomach.
Unlike the greenhouse technology of the future, the fields in May were almost all unripe crops. However, if the farm fields were replaced with fruit trees or something, Shao An would laugh.
Not far away from Shao 'an, a trace of fire was so conspicuous in the night. The appearance of this trace of fire gave Shao' an hope. He dragged his exhausted body in the direction of the fire.
At the source of the fire in a flat open space, a girl was sitting beside the burning fire.
Shao 'an followed the fire to the open space. The first thing he saw was the girl sitting by the fire. The fire clearly reflected the girl's appearance.
"Hello," Shao 'an greeted the girl softly.
The girl did not respond.
"Hello!" Shao 'an raised his voice.
Only then did the girl notice Shao 'an's existence. She glanced at Shao' an as if she was not interested in him. The girl still did not greet Shao 'an.
If the young girl's cold attitude was normal, Shao 'an would definitely not choose to continue asking for trouble. However, under the premise of getting lost, Shao' an had no choice but to thicken his skin and stay.
Shao 'an, who was sitting opposite the girl, rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.
"Do you mind if I sit opposite you?”Shao 'an asked.
"Even if I mind, haven't you already sat down?”the young girl said coldly.
"Well…actually, I just want to ask you a question.”Shao 'an said awkwardly.
"What a lame excuse to strike up a conversation." the young girl said.
"You've misunderstood. I'm really not here to hit on you. I just want to ask which direction to go to where there are people. Although I don't want to admit it, I'm lost.”Shao 'an said.
"Go that way." The girl pointed in a direction.
Shao 'an was overjoyed when he received the girl's response. He really did not expect this extremely cold-looking girl to show him the way.
"Thank you so much. I'll remember your kindness. My name is Shao 'an. If we meet again, I'll repay this kindness.”Shao An waved his hand and said.

After Shao 'an finished speaking, he walked in the direction the girl had pointed him in. However, just as he took a few steps, the girl's voice sounded.
"Wait a minute, you said you wanted to repay my kindness, right? I need that iron pot on your back.”
Shao 'an stopped in his tracks. He turned around and shook his head at the girl beside the bonfire.
"I'm sorry, I can't give this to you. It's a gift from my master.”
"Are you a chef?" the young girl asked.
"Yes, I am! I'm a chef, and this pot is really important to me.”Shao 'an replied.
"Since you're a chef, I really need you to do me a favor.”the young girl said.
"You're really not polite at all. You need me to return your favor so quickly.”Shao An said jokingly.
"What I need you to do is very simple. Tomorrow, I'll go to the small town ahead and have a two-on-two cooking competition with a pair of brothers. You can see that I'm only one person, so I need you to make up the numbers.”the young girl said.
"Make up the numbers? "You're really looking down on me. You have to know that my cooking is very good…Gu…" Shao 'an's stomach growled again.
"Hehe, I've never seen a good chef with a rumbling stomach.”The young girl clearly heard the drumming of Shao 'an's stomach.
"I was just lost. It was an accident!”Shao An said loudly.
"Why are you explaining to me? I don't want to know all this. Now sit down. I'll tell you what you should do in tomorrow's cooking competition.”The girl ordered.
"Hey, hey, hey! I haven't promised you yet." Shao 'an said.
"Are you a man? Shouldn't men keep their promises?”The girl tilted her head and asked.
Shao 'an lost his temper. He really wanted to tell this girl what he had just said, but he was too embarrassed to explain it now. He didn't want this girl to look down on him.
Shao 'an sighed, then returned to the seat opposite the girl and sat down again.
"Hehe, did anyone tell you? You look very cute now." The young girl revealed a rare smile.
Shao 'an suddenly had a very strange feeling. He completely did not see that this girl, who had seemed to be unapproachable just a moment ago, suddenly had the potential to be a chatterbox.
" Gu gu gu…" Shao 'an's stomach grumbled again.
The young girl chuckled and said," Looks like you're quite hungry. This is the first time I've seen a chef so hungry."”
The girl picked up a wooden stick from the ground and put it into the fire. She fiddled with the bottom of the fire with the wooden stick and pulled out a black oval object from the ashes at the bottom of the fire.
"These are the potatoes I baked just now. Seeing that you're so hungry, I gave them to you.”The young girl placed the roasted potato in front of Shao 'an and said.
"Who wants to eat it? Besides, who knows if it's cooked or not!”Shao An said with an unnatural expression.
"Of course, it's for a hungry chef like you to eat. As for this potato, it's almost cooked. Even if it's not cooked, it won't die. The worst outcome is that it will cause a stomachache.”the young girl said seriously.
"Young lady, I really don't dare to eat anymore after hearing what you said!”Shao An smiled bitterly.
"I lied to you. It's already cooked.”The young girl said with a smile.
" Why do I feel like you're teasing me…" Shao 'an said as he looked at the black potato on the ground.
"Seriously, you're not like a man. I swear that this potato is ripe. You can eat it without worry now, right?”The young girl snapped.
"Xiang En? You said your name is Xiang En!" Shao 'an suddenly stood up and asked.
"Yeah! My name is Xiang En. Oh right, why did you have such a big reaction?”The girl asked in confusion.
"You met Xiang En from the dark cuisine world just like that? You can't be that lucky!" Shao 'an thought to himself.
