Chapter 6: The First Meal in the Village

(In the busy village square, Xiao Feng looked around. Wooden stalls, kids playing, the smell of spices and cooking smoke everywhere.)

💭 "Linshan Village... looks calm, but I'm sure it won't stay that way."

🔊 Gu Lang (yawning):

— Can we just get to the food already? My stomach's growling!

🔊 Xiao Feng (smiling):

— Hold on, buddy. First, we gotta find a good spot.

(They entered a small tavern. The sign read: "Spicy Tiger Tavern." Inside, people were eating and making noise.)

🔊 Xiao Feng (to the owner):

— Two bowls of something hot and filling.

🔊 Owner (a chubby man with messy hair):

— New faces, huh? You got money?

🔊 Gu Lang (grinning):

— He cooks, I talk. We pay with food or fists!

(The owner laughed and told them to sit.)

🔊 Owner:

— Alright, kid. Show me what you got.

(Xiao Feng stepped into the small, smoky kitchen. No fancy tools — just old pots and dusty spices.)

💭 "Real test. Good. Time to make something that blows minds but tastes good."

(He grabbed wild onions, chili powder, and a strange smoky root.)

(The stew boiled and the spicy smell spread. Curious villagers gathered around.)

🔊 Villager 1:

— What's that smell? Poison or miracle?

🔊 Villager 2:

— My nose says miracle, my stomach says hurry up and serve!

(Xiao Feng poured the steaming red stew into two bowls and handed one to Gu Lang.)

🔊 Gu Lang (sniffing):

— If I die eating this, at least I die full and happy.

(He took a bite, eyes wide.)

🔊 Gu Lang:

— It's spicy!! But... it's awesome!

(The crowd clapped and cheered.)

🔊 Owner (surprised):

— You got golden hands, boy. Wanna stay here?

🔊 Xiao Feng:

— Just passing through. Thanks though.

💭 "Maybe strength isn't just fighting. Maybe it's making something people remember."
