Ch.198 The Strong President (2)

The fire was blazing. Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting were putting fish on the tree branches. Because Lu Ting had made a mistake today, he didn’t dare to look at her. He did whatever was asked of him. He was really obedient and didn’t dare to say no at all.

He was clumsy, clearly never having done these things before. Seeing that he was doing the wrong thing, Lin Yueqi slapped his back and exclaimed rudely, “Father Lu, you don’t even know how to put the fish on skewers? Little chubby girl does a better job than you!”

“…” This wasn’t the first time Lu Ting got scolded. He accepted the scolding and said, “I know and I will improve.”

Lin Yueqi nodded in satisfaction and patiently taught him again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

They were putting fish on skewers but on Li Murou’s side, there was a tense situation.

Lei Ta and Zhou Qing worked the entire night. They skinned the boar and then cleaned the internal organs just for Li Murou to say that they couldn’t eat the wild boar tonight. Instead, they were having hardtacks.

Lei Ta was famished. He had been looking forward to dinner when the other party suddenly said this. He felt as if a bowl of cold water had been poured over his head.

The man’s voice was loud like thunder. “What? You must be joking right? You said that you can cook delicious food tonight. I’ve been working all day long, helping you kill wild boar, skinning it for you, and cleaning the internal organs. Now you’re going to tell me this? You’re joking right.”

Zhou Qing felt a bit upset as well. He was also really hungry. He was famished and tired.

He worked the entire night and now she wanted them to eat hardtacks? Whoever in their place would be unhappy.

Zhou Qing suppressed his emotions and said in a happy tone, “Murou, look. When we went to hunt the wild boar, you said that you’ll make us a table of delicious food. Now that we hunted a boar, skinned it, and cleaned it, you’re saying that you’re not cooking tonight. The fire is blazing as well. What are we going to eat instead then?”

Lin Yueqi had fish but it was clear that their group was split into two teams. The people by Li Murou’s side couldn’t lower their pride to ask Lin Yueqi for fish.

Li Murou felt like she was in a difficult situation too. “The time isn’t right. The wild boar hasn’t matured yet and if we kill it right now, we won’t get to taste the freshness. Put it there for six hours and then I’ll cook it. It’d be incredibly delicious. Trust me. I’m a cook. I want food to be displayed in its perfect state.”

Lei Ta hollered, “We don’t care about its appearance. We just want to eat! You can just cook whatever and we’ll eat it. You can use the remaining meat to make it perfect tomorrow, okay?”

Zhou Qing also said, “Right, Murou. You can’t let us eat hardtacks when we have food available. We’re here to search for asian elephants and not here to enjoy ourselves. You can just make some casual food. We’ll eat what you cook. That pig trotter looks pretty good. Why don’t you roast some pig trotters for us? You can keep the remaining ingredients for tomorrow. Displaying your outstanding skills and filling our stomachs don’t coincide.”

Even Huang Hai who didn’t like to talk rubbed his stomach and said, “Murou, just let us have our way. Don’t pursue perfection. We don’t need perfection. We just want to fill our stomachs.”

The three swallowed their salivas and stared at her.

Li Murou was put in a difficult situation. It wasn’t like she could tell them that food would taste like trash if she made food right now right?

Li Murou bit her lips and then said after a while, “I don’t feel so good today. Why don’t…Zhou Qing, I remember that you have wildlife survival experience. Why don’t you cook for everyone?”

She immediately clutched her abdomen and said, “Women always have to go through a few days. I hope everyone can understand.”

Zhou Qing was dumbstruck.

Lei Ta was speechless.

Huang Hai was flabbergasted.
