Chapter 29 Mo Li, a gift for you

"The Jiaolong tribe likes fish and shrimp..."

Shu Ning opened the encyclopedia to study the food preferences of the Jiao Clan.

She then walked to the riverbank. Since it was still early and there were no other orcs around, she planned to use teleportation to try to catch some fish and other creatures at the spot where she had fallen into the water the night before.

In an instant, she moved the creatures inside up with a splash. She looked at the lively creatures jumping around on the ground with delight. There were not only fish, shrimp, and crabs, but also clams, snails, and other small creatures.

She threw back the small fish, shrimp, and other things she didn't want.

The remaining large fish, shrimp, crabs, clams, and snails were wrapped in animal hides, and then they were teleported to the entrance of the Dark Glass Cave.

Looking at the raw ingredients, she fell into deep thought.

If only I had a pot.

Last time I used animal skulls to brew medicine, which didn't require a very large container, but it was wasted after use.

If you're going to use it for a long time, you'll have to make a real one yourself, whether it's ceramic or earthenware.

The most urgent task is to prepare breakfast for Mo Li.

Then she started a fire, skewered meat, and grilled fish...

Having space is convenient; she had already put all sorts of tools into the space, including a bone knife and seasonings.

She planned to let Mo Li try the cooked meat, even though he usually ate raw meat.

After grilling a few fish, she was about to call Mo Li when she was surprised to find him standing behind her, almost bumping into him.

Looking at the incredibly handsome man in front of her, she was reminded of what happened last night.

"Hi... Mo Li, good morning!" Shu Ning said with a forced, awkward smile.

"What's this?" Mo Li asked, looking at the pile of food on the ground.

When did she go to catch it?

He noticed the commotion outside as soon as he woke up. As soon as he came out of the cave, he saw the female seemingly fiddling with something, rubbing wood and stringing fish together, busy with all sorts of things.

He stood quietly by the cave entrance, watching her with great interest.

The fact that she could start a fire had already spread throughout the wolf clan, and since then everyone had started learning how to make fire, so he wasn't curious about her ability to do so today.

He was curious to see her skewering fish and shrimp and then putting them on the fire to cook.

Then he smelled a delicious aroma that made him hungry, so he walked over and bumped into her as she was turning around.

"This is the breakfast I prepared for you," Shu Ning said with a smile, pointing to the grilled fish placed on a leaf.

"Oh?" Mo Li looked at the grilled fish on the ground.

"Try it."

Shu Ning picked up the grilled fish, stood up, and handed it to him, looking at him expectantly.

Mo Li hesitated for a moment, then took the grilled fish and smelled it; it did indeed have a fragrant aroma. The moment she took a bite, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the fish is incredibly delicious and the meat is so tender that it's easier to remove the bones than any other fish he's ever eaten.

"How is it? Delicious, isn't it!"

Before Mo Li could respond, she handed him another fish that had been sprinkled with salt.

"Try this, I added some salt, it's a seasoning."

Mo Li took the fish that she had scattered from her hand, frowned slightly, and still took a bite.

The taste is different from the previous one, but it seems to be even more delicious.

Seeing how much he was enjoying his meal, Shu Ning took the fish he had eaten earlier and sprinkled some salt and Sichuan peppercorn powder on it.

"This one has Sichuan peppercorns in it, I don't know if you like it."

Mo Li looked up at her, then continued eating.

However, the fish tasted strange this time, and he didn't swallow it with a complicated expression.

"Is it not tasty? If it's not tasty, then spit it out," Shu Ning said, frowning at him.

Seeing her somewhat downcast eyes, he swallowed it down anyway.

Shu Ning could tell he was forcing it, so she took the grilled fish sprinkled with Sichuan peppercorns.

"I'm not eating this one, there's plenty more."

She squatted down beside the fire and used a stick to pick up the roasted crabs and shrimp and handed them to him.

"These are all cooked, would you like to try some?"

Mo Li looked at the food in her hand and asked, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet," Shu Ning said.

Then he took the crab from her hand, peeled it open, and put the meat inside to her mouth.

"Open up."

Shu Ning was taken aback by his sudden action and opened her mouth.

He put the crab meat into his mouth.

Shu Ning's face instantly flushed as she was being fed.

This reminded her of what happened last night, and her face turned even redder.

"Eat while sitting down."

"Um."

Then the two sat down by the fire, which was covered with leaves.

"Can't swim?" Mo Li said while peeling shrimp.

"No." Shu Ning felt awkward again after saying that.

"You wouldn't dare go to the river alone again." Mo Li's tone was slightly serious.

"But you still need to take a shower," Shu Ning said softly, bowing her head slightly.

"Come see me this afternoon," Mo Li said gently, noticing her downcast head.

"What do you want?" Shu Ning looked up at him.

"Learn to swim." He then placed the shrimp meat near her mouth.

"oh."

Watch as she opened her mouth and put the shrimp meat into it.

Then Shu Ning grilled fish for him and sprinkled it with salt, and he peeled the fish and fed it to Shu Ning.

The birds sing beautiful songs in the early morning, as if welcoming a new day.

After finishing her meal, Shu Ning began to think about what to do next.

I wonder if he'll be offended if I bring it up suddenly.

Looking at the fat on her body, she guessed that she still weighed over 200 pounds. She thought that if she used up all her teleportation attempts for the day, her chances of finding him would be higher.

Don't rush things, or all your previous efforts will be wasted.

But after today, there are only five days left...

"007, couldn't you have delayed issuing the mission a little longer?!" Shu Ning wondered to herself.

Not hearing a response from the system, she said angrily, "I've only known them for a short time, we're not even close!"

The system still did not respond.

She looked at Mo Li beside her. Beneath his long, dark blue hair was a sculpted face with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, and firm, taut skin. He was so handsome that she was too embarrassed to ask him for anything.

She began to secretly plan—

The first trick to winning over a man is to frequently appear in his life.

Shu Ning plans to visit him every day for the next few days, bringing him delicious food and fun things.

Before long, she herself will lose weight, and then she can ask him...

Thinking about that day, Shu Ning's face unconsciously flushed.

The man frowned as he watched Shu Ning become engrossed in her own world.

He got up to leave.

"Where are you going, Mo Li?" Shu Ning asked as she watched Mo Li about to leave.

"Let's go for a walk," Mo Li said coldly, offering a random excuse.

"Wait..." Before Shu Ning could finish speaking, he transformed back into his original form and left.

Shu Ning sighed and decided against it. Getting too close would only increase resentment; maintaining a proper distance was the best long-term solution.

She remembered her earlier idea of ​​making a pot.

So I opened an encyclopedia and started looking it up.

The book contains many methods for making various pots and pans.

It's all quite troublesome, especially making iron pots. First, you have to find the ore, then mine it, and then smelt it...

This won't work, pass.

She flipped through it again…

This is good.

She plans to make a clay pot, all she needs is hands and fire.

So they checked the nearest raw materials, which were located by a stream.

She followed the map to the riverbank and used a stick to break up the firm soil on the bank.

She quickly pried off some of the clay and collected it.

Then I found a relatively flat rock by the stream.

Next, find an open space to start working, remove the branches and stones, make sure there are no other debris in the clay, and then press it into a ball.

Then light a fire and place the clay near the fire to dry it slightly until it's a little hard so it can be shaped more easily.

Next, take some wood ash from the fire and place it on the stone you just found; this will prevent it from sticking to your hands.

Then she slowly began to mold it into the shape of a jar. Looking at the remaining clay, she used teleportation to move a pile of clay from the stream bank back to her. On a whim, she also molded a few bowls, plates, cups, and spoons…

Looking at the pile of bottles and jars on the ground, and even a basin, she gave herself a thumbs up and exclaimed, "I'm awesome!"

After shaping, place several semi-finished products near the fire to dry them completely.

Then they were placed one by one into the fire, and a pile of firewood was laid on the outside to ensure that they were heated evenly.

Heat them until they turn completely red, then leave them alone and let them cool down naturally.

Shu Ning, who was doing all this, completely forgot about the time.

It was past noon, and while waiting for them to cool down, she remembered that Mo Li had asked her to go find him.
