[12 month 25 day]

......

Honey, the postman came today.

In addition to handing me a letter from you, he also said there was a package for me.

I was very surprised and thought the postman had made a mistake.

I didn't accept it until the postman confirmed again that the package and the letter were sent by the same person.

After reading the letter you wrote, I found out that it was the Thousand Souls Day gift you prepared for little Xia Volei, and you also prepared an extra one for me.

Husband, I'm not a child, what are you preparing for me?

However, I am also very happy to receive your [Thousand Spirits Day Gift].

Of course, little Xiawolei would be happy too.

In fact, I have also prepared two different [Thousand Spirits Day Gifts] and plan to give them to little Xia Wole tomorrow, and I will say that one of them is from you.

But now it seems that there is no need to lie to the child.

Although little Xia Wole is very young, she has strong reasoning ability just like your husband.

Although she is very cute, she is not as easy to fool as she was when she was a child...

emm.....

...

[12 month 26 day]

...

Little Xia Wulei came back early this afternoon and said that she was forced to leave by the branch store manager because her working hours exceeded the restrictions on child labor in the Fontaine Labor Law.

Oh, right.

Little Xia Wole brought back a lot of supplies. I don’t know how she managed to get them all by herself.

After we finished sorting them out, little Xia Wole told me that this was a Thousand Souls Day gift given to her by the owner of the restaurant.

A check for two hundred thousand Mora and an exquisite [Thousand Spirit Mousse].

Hubby, thank your friend for his generosity.

Many young and middle-aged workers in [Gray River District] only earn more than 200,000 Mora for a month's work.

.....

Night.

It seemed to be at night [XXXX] (edited here), I can’t remember the exact time, but it was already very late, and Xia Wole and I had gone to bed.

But at this moment, someone knocked on our door.

Xiao Xia Wole and I thought that they were children who came to ask for candy. After all, it was the Thousand Spirits Festival. Some children from the Gray River District would first climb up to Fontaine above to ask for the Thousand Spirits Festival candy, and then return to the Gray River District to ask for candy after they had finished their round.

It is understandable. After all, the [Thousand Spirit Festival Candy] on the ground is sweeter than that underground, and gives more.

But, that is until little Xiawolei looked out through the hole in the door and opened it.

Then I realized that the people standing at the door were not the children who came late, but your husband's police colleagues.

They had just got off work from the restaurant and rushed over here, saying they wanted to spend the Thousand Spirits Festival with us.

Although it was unexpected, Xiao Xiawolei and I both enjoyed the excitement.

So, he changed his clothes and participated in this [Thousand Spirits Festival Gathering].

They brought a lot of supplies and a variety of wine, and with the preparations made by little Xiawolei, a sumptuous party was held.

Everyone was very happy and gathered together to chat, sing and drink.

The atmosphere at the party was cheerful, and even I drank a little.

But please rest assured, little Xiawole was drinking with Fengda in her arms from beginning to end, and no one would let little Xiawole drink.

...

As the night progressed, the joyous party came to an end.

Hubby, your colleagues supported each other and left, leaving only one who was too drunk to stay in an empty room in our house until tomorrow when he sobered up.

...

When Donatello read this, his expression paused, and his sleepy spirit immediately focused.

His intuition told him that this drunk colleague of his who stayed behind... had problems.

The person Chao Ke was talking about might very well be him!

Sure enough, as Donatello continued to read, things turned out just as he had expected, and what Chao Ke had told him was correct.

My colleague moved into my home, and my wife and daughter were also very happy and pleased...

Because the drunkard who passed out in his own home on the day of the Thousand Spirits Festival and slept in the same house with his wife and daughter was that little girl Lina.

After sobering up that day, Lina became interested in the empty bed in her home, and her wife and daughter were very happy to let her move in.

So, Chao Ke’s previous description came about.

Um.....

Simply.

Donatello closed his wife's journal.

The expression on his face was very interesting, showing the rumored three parts joy, three parts helplessness, three parts anger and a bitter smile.

In the end, it all came together to form this complex expression on Donatello's face.

Donatello carefully placed the letters from his wife and daughter next to his pillow. At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind.

Lie down quickly and take a rest.

Chao Ke doesn't know how much psychological damage a fire in the backyard would cause to a middle-aged man...

"Hey, wait, what's that smell?"

After Donatello relaxed, in addition to feeling boundless distress, his previously neglected senses became active again and he smelled a strong peculiar odor in the air.

[Double cell] outside.

Chao Ke pushed open the door and was about to put down the extremely sumptuous breakfast in his hand.

But he was almost forced out by the pungent smell in the cell.

"Damn, is someone cooking in there?"

"Brother Donatello, you can't be happy now that you know the truth, right?"

"Chao Ke, don't talk!"

Donatello quickly turned over and got out of bed to cover Chao Ke's mouth.

Chao Ke said that there was nothing wrong with what he said, so he said just go ahead and say it, Chao Ke was not a bad person anyway, and he had helped his daughter a lot outside.

But Chao Ke's comment that someone was "cooking history" seriously hurt Miss Sigwen.

The head nurse cares for and loves the prisoners and is their angel.

For both public and private reasons, Donatello did not want Chao Ke to say that about Sigwen. Although Chao Ke did not mean it, the smell was indeed not pleasant.

Of course, even if Donatello didn't come up to cover his mouth, Chao Ke felt a little regretful when he saw that it was Sigwen standing in front of the heating table.

"Um... Mr. Chao Ke, does the [special milkshake] I mixed really smell that bad..."

The little cutie hung his head, looked at Chao Ke out of the corner of his eye, and asked awkwardly.

At this moment, even the blue and white tentacles on Sigwen's head had lost their spirit.

"Forehead..."

Seeing the head nurse's expression, Chao Ke couldn't bear to say any more nonsense.

However, as the future [Demon of Kitchen], Chao Ke does not want to tell lies in this regard due to his ethics in cooking.

So, he walked up to Ke, gently stroked Sigwen's hair, and spoke in her ear.

"Sigwen, you don't need to care too much about my or other people's opinions on taste."

"In itself, what you prepare are [medicines] and [nutritional products]. For them, the most important thing is the obvious effective results."

“Whether it smells good or tastes good is a secondary and non-essential requirement.”

"Besides, Sigwen, you are still Melusin. Your senses are not the same as humans."

“The ingredients you like may not be liked by humans; the flavors you can taste may not be felt by humans.”

"I can totally understand that [Special Milkshake] doesn't suit human taste, right, Donatello brother?"

"Ah? Oh, yes! Yes! Yes!"

Donatello responded quickly.

With the comfort of Chao Ke and Donatello, Sigwen's previously depressed expression warmed up a little. She nodded to Chao Ke and said.

"oh, I understand now."

"But I will still try my best."

“I hope that what I make is medicine, but also more than medicine.”

“If medicines are made more delicious, will those children who don’t want to take medicine no longer have to suffer as much as before?”

After listening to Sigwen's answer, Chao Ke paused.

This head nurse has a lofty vision.

Although, since this head nurse has a different sense of taste than humans, she can't make the medicine taste good, but...

Isn’t there a future [Demon of the Kitchen] here?

What Sigwen couldn't do might not be that difficult for Chao Ke.

This kind of thing requires long-term consideration, so let's talk about it later.

The most urgent task now is to destroy these [sumptuous breakfasts] in Chao Ke's hands.

After all, delicious food won’t wait for anyone.

"Brother Donatello, come over and help me. Let's clean up the table together."

"I prepared a lot for breakfast. There are quite a lot of things on the table and I can't put them away."

"Sorry, I left some personal items on the dining table. I'll be right there."

Donatello hastily placed the freshly folded quilt next to his pillow and hurried over without stopping.

Together with Chao Ke, I cleaned up the slightly messy desk.

Fortunately, Donatello was relatively clean, and even though he was the only one living in the cell, he still paid attention to hygiene.

Therefore, the dining table is clean, with little food residue and grease on it.

It only looks a bit messy because of some books and papers piled up.

Chao Ke put the food aside and cleaned up with Brother Donatello.

However, when Chao Ke put away several drafts, a book hidden under the drafts was revealed.

When Chao Ke saw the pattern printed on the book, his eyes changed slightly.

This totem is similar to the Fontaine [Peace Medal]...

Is it a mutual aid association?

Thinking of this, Chao Ke opened the title page of the book.

I saw that it was written in the introduction after the title page.

【Help each other and overcome difficulties together. 】

【Do your best to uphold justice. 】

【No need to hate, just punishment. 】

"really..."

It was the organization founded by Watling, the winner of the Medal of Peace.

And this book is the promotional brochure of this organization.

"Whoo~"

Without disturbing Donatello, Chao Ke calmly piled the book together with the old man's other drafts into a pile and handed them to Donatello, asking him to find a place to put them.

How should I put it? Chao Ke was not that surprised that Donatello joined the Mutual Aid Society.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Even if they are in this underwater prison, kind-hearted people with justice in their hearts will try their best to do something for others.

It's interesting.

.......

The desktop has been tidied up and looks much cleaner.

Chao Ke opened the lunch boxes one by one and placed the various dishes inside on the clean dining table.

Use the lunch box lids as plates and set out tableware for several people.

When everything was ready, Chao Ke invited his two friends to come for dinner.

"Wow, it's really rich."

"Chao Ke, did you order all the food in the [Franchise Canteen]?"

"Of course, this is a good thing. It can help you to boost your spirits."

As Chao Ke said this, he pushed the lunch box containing the [Beast Meat Mint Roll] to Brother Donatello.

Donatello glanced at Chao Ke, but did not refuse. He took the lunch box and scooped a little from his own plate, indicating that he accepted Chao Ke's apology.

"Don't make such jokes next time. It's scary."

"Ok."

After Donatello finished serving, he looked at the cute Sigwen sitting next to him and asked.

"Head Nurse, would you like some [Beast Meat Mint Rolls]?"

"Thank you, Mr. Chao Ke. Please give me less."

"It's a great dish that allows you to eat meat and vegetables at the same time, but it's a pity that it has a lot of fat, so it's not recommended to eat too much in the morning."

"Especially you, Mr. Donatello. If you take in too much fat, you will feel uncomfortable when you rest later."

"Oh? Okay, Miss Head Nurse. I won't add any more after I finish the food on my plate."

Donatello replied that he highly approved of Miss Sigwen's health advice.

So I changed my focus and started eating a few lighter meals on the table.

Seeing that the two had no desire to choose the [Beast Meat Mint Roll], Chao Ke simply took the lunch box to himself and became the main force to destroy it.

[Beast Mint Roll] is actually a genuine Liyue dish, belonging to the category of cold dishes.

Previously, when Senior Chao Ke and Senior Falusan lived in Liyue, they ate this dish [Beast Meat Mint Roll] a lot.

Chao Ke never thought that it was also sold in the Merlot Peterbourg in Fontaine.

Perhaps, it also has a story in this underwater prison.

Now that we meet again, I feel a little sad.

His identity became that of a criminal, and the [Beast Meat Mint Roll] in the lunch box also became unfamiliar to Chao Ke.

The chefs at Fontaine have made many localized changes to it.

The most difficult of these transformations was that the chefs at Fontaine turned the [Beast Mint Roll] into a hot dish.

.....

That’s right, the [Beast Meat Mint Roll], which is a cold dish in Liyue, was made into a hot dish by the chefs of [Mello Petersburg]…

Although he felt a little resistant in his heart, Chao Ke still put this "heretic" into his mouth with a fork and tasted this unfamiliar old friend.

Hmm, okay.

The people of Fontaine did braise the wrapped animal meat.

Although the stew was not cooked enough and the spices were not good enough, the aroma of the stew failed to penetrate the inside of the meat.

But at least, it's still something like that.
