Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life

Chapter 895: Xiao Chong Extra 11_3

Lin Wanwan was taken aback by his subtle boasting, and for a moment, pursed her lips with nothing to say.

The yet-to-unlock-her-powers Lin Wanwan was just an all-natural high school girl putting in all her effort to study!

She couldn’t feel the fun that the academic elites had, studying with ease, while she struggled with her studies.

In the second year of high school, they were divided into arts and sciences classes, and in the third year again into elite classes, which only the top 30 of the grade could enter.

With her current ranking, it was hard for Lin Wanwan to maintain her status in the top class.

While silently accepting the blow, the embedded Fangtai oven beside her suddenly made a "ding" sound; the items inside were baked.

Xiao Chong’s snacks on this side had also been successfully molded and set aside.

He put on a thick oven mitt, opened the oven door, and took out a tray with eight decent-looking egg tarts.

"The egg tarts are done. Try them," Xiao Chong said as he placed the egg tarts on a plate and handed them to Lin Wanwan.

Eight egg tarts, with four flavors, presenting a feast for all senses.

"You actually know how to make egg tarts?" Lin Wanwan was constantly in a state of amazement ever since she entered this kitchen.

"Yeah, I just mixed the egg mixture. The bases were store-bought." Xiao Chong explained as he put those freshly made items into the oven.

"Let’s go to the tea room now that we’re done here. I’ll brew some tea for you."

"Oh." Lin Wanwan, holding the plate of egg tarts, followed Xiao Chong. She took off her slippers and, mimicking Xiao Chong’s posture, kneeled on a tatami-like mat.

She placed the egg tart plate on the edge of the tea table, watching Xiao Chong’s dashing and carefree movements, and found them pleasing to the eye.

The Great Tang nobility pursued an elegant tea ceremony, emphasizing good tea leaves, expertly brewed tea, refined tea-making skills, and beautiful tea drinking.

With Xiao Chong’s looks, performing such an elegant act was undoubtedly visually appealing.

However, as Lin Wanwan saw Xiao Chong sprinkling strange ingredients into the tea, she couldn’t help but ask, "What did you just put in there? Can tea be drunk this way?"

Xiao Chong glanced at her and gave a slight smile, "This is the tea culture from the Great Tang."

Lin Wanwan chuckled and said, "Alright then."

Anyway, she couldn’t appreciate it and doubted it would taste good.

After adding the ingredients, Xiao Chong covered the tea pot, which resembled a double-handled silver pot, and said to Lin Wanwan, "The egg tarts aren’t that hot now. Give them a try."

"Oh." Lin Wanwan picked up one with one hand and passed it to Xiao Chong, "Let’s eat together."

"Sure." Xiao Chong took it, and they ate together.

The most particular nobles didn’t accompany their tea with small snacks, but Xiao Chong wasn’t a conventional noble in the Great Tang. Having traveled to the present, he naturally couldn’t strictly adhere to ancient rituals.

"It’s quite tasty. The one I’m eating isn’t too sweet or rich, it has a fresh taste."

"There’s a bit of blueberry jam inside."

After finishing the egg tarts, the tea was also done. Xiao Chong brewed a cup of tea for Lin Wanwan.

Lin Wanwan frowned at the tea bowl, hesitantly sipped, and then gently put it down.

Xiao Chong looked at her and smiled, "Not a fan?"

"Hehe." Lin Wanwan softly said, "I just don’t like drinking tea or coffee or that sort of thing."

Xiao Chong nodded and uttered, "Mm," then said, "Next time, I’ll make you fruit tea."

Wanwan was still like before, not interested in tea soup.

"Fruit tea?" Lin Wanwan imagined it, "Sounds like it might be good."

After finishing the tea and snacks, Lin Wanwan helped Xiao Chong clean and tidy up the tea set and dishes.

Xiao Chong’s kitchen had two dishwashers, one sink-type and one regular built-in. Together, they had a large capacity, more than enough to wash tea sets and dishes without needing to do it by hand.

Lin Wanwan watched as Xiao Chong started the dishwasher and sighed, "The modern home appliances are really thoughtful."

"Mm, they’re alright." Xiao Chong casually replied.

Lin Wanwan’s home never required her to wash dishes before. Now that her grandmother had passed, she felt sorry for her grandfather’s hard work and always rushed to wash the dishes.

But she actually really disliked washing dishes, finding the greasiness uncomfortable. Now seeing the high-tech laziness at Xiao Chong’s place, she couldn’t help but feel envious.

However, Xiao Chong didn’t think much of them, as he never needed to wash a single dish in the past. Modern technology, no matter how advanced, couldn’t surpass the convenience of manpower, could it?

For instance, with dishwashers, you had to scrape off the residues before putting them in for cleaning, whereas if you had servants to wait on you, you could just leave the dishes and walk away.

On the path of laziness, one can never have enough servants.

Xiao Chong had gotten used to twelve years without any attendants. While he had adapted, it didn’t mean he liked it.

But overall, life in modern times was definitely more comfortable than in the Great Tang.
