Lin Yueqi finished tearing the fish into pieces and there was still sauce on her hands from the fish oil and the chili seasonings. It tasted like spicy sticks. One couldn’t stop themselves from eating.

She smacked her lips and licked the taste off her hands.

Lei Ta watched her do that and felt conflicted inside his heart.

After licking her hands, Lu Ting acted like her little brother and delivered the moist towel over. She wiped her hands with it, satisfied.

After eating Lin Yueqi’s fish, Huang Hai felt that the boar meat he was nibbling on was too greasy and tasteless. He suddenly regretted not forming a good relationship with Lin Yueqi.

There were just two ladies in the group. Lin Yueqi was taken already. But because Li Murou had great culinary skills, the single men obviously sided with her more. But they didn’t think that Lin Yueqi was good at cooking too.

Though her food wasn’t as enticing and delicious as Li Murou’s food or glowing, her roasted fish eluded an unique but enticing fragrance. It was really plain but down-to-earth.

The rich fragrance made the food taste even better and realistic.

Huang Hai swallowed his saliva and then asked, “Sister Qi, you’re a celebrity but how do you know all of this?…”

“Don’t you see me gossiping around? I’m just a village girl.” When Lin Yueqi said this, she didn’t think that her status would cause people to ridicule her. Instead, she was proud. “Whenever it was the weekend, aunty would go to the market in town to sell rations. I would go up the mountains to release the cows. To children from villages, these were nothing. These were essentials to surviving. There were no restaurants in the mountain so we needed to find something to entertain ourselves.”

“When autumn arrives in the mountains of Sichuan Province, we would roast the fishes on the fire and then brush a layer of sticky chili bean sauce over it and then sprinkle some diced chameleon plant over it as seasoning. It’s pretty good too.”

The moment Zhou Qing heard “chameleon plant,” his expression changed. “Chameleon plant? That can be used as seasoning? Dark cuisine…”

“Let’s see how you choose to eat. Us Sichuan people like to add chameleon plants in our food.” Lin Yueqi counted on her fingers and said, “I’d still add chameleon plants to silkworm potatoes, teppanyaki, and Changsha stinky tofu. That taste. Tch. I’m going to stop talking. I can feel my saliva…”

Although Zhou Qing was terrified of the chameleon plant juice, he couldn’t help but drool hearing her say this.

He clearly became interested and pressed, “Sister Qi, you’re really a precious lady. What else can you do?”

“Poor people obviously need to mature and take responsibility early on in their lives. It’s normal. Let’s not talk about this. I’m going to sleep. So tired.” Lin Yueqi stood up and rubbed her sore shoulders with her fists. She ordered Lu Ting, “Father Lu, remember to place the dry fishes away. Don’t let the stray cats eat them.”

“Yes.” Lu Ting nodded and stood up, quickly passing the thermal flask to her. “Water. If you want to use the bathroom at night, don’t go alone. Call me over.”

“Okay, father Lu.”

Lin Yueqi was also tired. By the time she got back in her tent, Li Murou had been wearing her eye mask sleeping inside the sleeping bag. It was unclear whether she was pretending to sleep or what but she couldn’t even hear the faintest breathing.

It was getting late. In order to get enough energy to continue tomorrow, Lin Yueqi removed her cameo jacket and also got inside her sleeping bag. She wore her eye mask and her earbuds.

She quickly then sunk into sleep.

At the same time, the live broadcast was showcasing the people eating roasted fish. Because Li Murou refused to cook, there were some online users who clearly felt awkward and like something was off.

“?? As a chef, I will say in a responsible manner that the fresher the ingredient, the better. In an environment like Africa, food won’t be good if it lasted overnight, right? Plus, they didn’t do anything to keep the ingredients fresh. Under this environment, the meat will become rotten. As for Lin Yueqi, she had dried the fish and sprinkled salt and seasonings over it. This was the correct way to preserve food. I don’t know what’s wrong with Li Murou. She might really think that she’s a fairy. [spreads hands].”
