The Heavenly Jewel Change
Chapter 40: Fei Li Empire Flying Hill City (1)
Shangguan Bing's beautiful eyes were immediately filled with vigilance, his experience with this bastard telling him that whenever he acted solemnly and deservedly, he must have something up his sleeve. "Eat everything you want, if you eat to death then you get what you deserve!"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Weiqing did not refute. Instead, he found a relatively spacious place; plucking the weeds on the ground to clear a stretch of less than two square meters, before placing the foliage and bamboo shoots he had collected into the ground. He then returned to the forest, and after some time, he managed to find dry dead wood and thin vines.
Shangguan Binger noticed that Zhou Weiqing's hands were extremely agile, with his ten slender fingers, and in a few quick movements, the vines and dead wooden branches had been formed into simple shelves, and they were already formed into simple shelves, firmly fixed to the ground. The large thick leaves in his hands seemed to be fluttering. He had not even managed to see his actions clearly before his leaves were folded into the shape of a small pot, which he then surrounded and tied up with four thin vines, before hanging them on a shelf he had installed. .
From start to finish, Zhou Weiqing only used a few minutes, his movements were proficient, and it was definitely not the first time he had done this. After which, he began to break the bamboo shoots on top of the small pot, and with the clear sound of liquid falling down, the bamboo shoots suddenly perforated in the middle, holding a clear liquid inside. After breaking some buds, the leaf pot was filled with that liquid, and most mysteriously, not a single drop was leaking.
Zhou Weiqing piled up the excess pot of dead wood leaves, then stirred up the small backpack he was carrying and picked up the stone from inside. He lit a fire, which gradually grew larger, the burning dead wood made a crackling sound, and it was already heating up the leaf pot.
Shangguan Bing subconsciously gathered closer to Zhou Weiqing as he did all that, and could not help asking: "Will the leaves not be burnt and crushed?"
In such a rare opportunity that his voice was not as cold as ice, Zhou Weiqing rejoiced silently in his heart when he heard it. "Of course not, because it contains water in it." His hand did not stop moving as he spoke, as he took out a sharp little knife from within his bag, his left hand picked up one of the bamboo shoots he had separated.before, slicing through its outer layer, cutting through the, before throwing it into the pot layer by layer. After repeating this for a while, several slices of bamboo shoots as thick as a baby's arm had been sliced into the pot, and at the same time, the water in the leaf pot also began to boil; indeed the timing was just right.
Shangguan Binger was now unconsciously crouched down beside Zhou Weiqing, watching as he finished all that, his gaze was also meek. Men who can cook will usually find it easier to give a woman a warm feeling. Moreover, Shangguan Bing preferred 'light' food, and this bamboo shoot soup was clearly more appealing to him than eating meat.
Zhou Weiqing clapped before holding his knife, and said with a smile: "This bamboo is a unique local specialty in our Star Forest, and can only be found here; very few people really know about it because it only grows in the shade of the older Star Tree, and it will absorb the morning dew in the middle of it that is hollow, which is very sweet and delicious. I call it Reveal Bamboo Shoots, and it's delicious, especially when cooked in dew from the center, it retains its original flavor at its best. It can be eaten after boiling for a while to eat, and it is only necessary to add a little salt. ”
After all, he had once been thrown into the wild by the Admiral's father for survival training, no matter the forest, desert or even mountains, he had undergone survival training in all of those areas. Since the age of ten, he – known as trash by others – has lived in misery, so finding food in the Star Forest he knows best is too easy.
The stew stew stew stew in the leaf pot gurgled with air bubbles, and the scent of light that was still in the air, the smell shook the taste of anyone who smelled it.
Zhou Weiqing stole a glance towards Shangguan Binger, coincidentally catching the 15-year-old girl gulping as she tried to gulp down her saliva subtly. At first, she wanted to tease him a little, but then her heart was filled with a warm feeling. Taking the two teaspoons he had carved earlier from the bamboo shoot cover, he gave one to Shangguan Binger, then took the salt, sprinkled it into the bamboo shoot dew soup.
Shangguan Binger lifted the spoon, and was just about to start eating, but his hand suddenly stopped in midair, and he bit his lower lip with a complex look in his eyes as he glanced at Zhou Weiqing. Just a moment ago, he refused to give her a dry ration to eat, how could she really eat the food she had prepared just now, she had a very entangled feeling in her heart.
"Give me a piece of dry ration. This soup is not enough to relieve hunger! I'll trade soup with you okay? "Zhou Weiqing looked at him and reached out with a sad expression.
Shangguan Binger looked at him for a while, before taking off his backpack and taking out a piece of dry ration to give to Zhou Weiqing. He suddenly felt that this bastard was not as bad as he thought.
The dew soup of the bamboo shoots was pale green, the pieces of bamboo shoots floating inside like jade. The sweet aroma was mild, but it did not disperse; although they had no other seasonings to add, the fresh and tender shoots were already very tasty, even more pronounced with dew and leaves.
As soon as Shangguan Bing'er took the first mouthful of bamboo shoot dew soup, she fell in love with it, a soft and sweet aroma flowing from the tip of the tongue to the tip, entering her stomach, and warming up. a feeling permeated all over his body; the remaining sweetness lingered in his mouth and nose, and such an overwhelming feeling was clearly much better than just eating a dried ration.
He even felt a hint of regret for not allowing Zhou Weiqing to hunt and kill rabbits; perhaps, this fellow could also make an incredible delicacy.
Zhou Weiqing did not tempt or provoke Shangguan Binger, but rather sat down beside the pot-leaf, eating the dried rations together with the edible bamboo shoot dew soup, his eyes somewhat confused.
Shangguan Bing's appearance while eating was too beautiful, especially the expression she revealed on her face when she took her first sip of the dew shoots soup; which made Zhou Weiqing's heart clutch abruptly. In her eyes, Shangguan Bing's pretty face was even more delicious than the dew shoots soup.
Just as Shangguan Binger was in love with the bamboo shoot dew soup he made, at that moment, he was also deeply in love with his satisfied appearance. He clutched his fist, decided inside that he would do anything to chase after her, and made her his wife.
As he daydreamed of marrying Shangguan Binger, able to hug his fragrant and gentle body to sleep on a daily basis, the smile on Zhou Weiqing's face immediately became excited. Fortunately, the young beautiful woman in front of him was her attention focused on the dew stew stew, and did not see the dirty expression of the bastard.
