Bai Yueyao smiled smugly:
"We'll split it in half when we meet. This time, I'm going to take a huge chunk of their flesh!"
The two of them imagined Xia Ning and the others getting their comeuppance, and they laughed happily.
At this time, Zhong Wanwan and Xia Ning, who were on Bai Yueyao and Tang Zixuan's mind, had already arrived in the deep mountains with the main group.
As in previous years, the hunting team first put their luggage in the temporary mud house where they rested.
This mud house was built by Grandpa Maisui when he led a hunting team. It has only two small rooms and the windows are very small.
Every year, the hunting team members live in two rooms, but this year, because of Zhong Wanwan and Xia Ning, the entire hunting team lives in one room, while Zhong Wanwan and Xia Ning live in another.
Even in the dead of winter, we're not afraid of being squeezed; in fact, it's warmer when we're squeezed in!
After putting their luggage inside, they boiled a large pot of ginger water and started eating their dry rations.
Zhong Wanwan and Xia Ning took out the jars of pickled vegetables that Zhong Songbai had prepared.
Seeing the two of them seemingly conjure up six large jars of pickled vegetables, Wang Erlaizi exclaimed in surprise:
"Master Zhong, Xia Zhiqing, you two are really something, bringing so much pickled vegetable up the mountain!"
Zhong Wanwan said with a smile:
"My brother prepared this for us. His pickled vegetables with dry rations are absolutely amazing. Don't just stand there, hurry up and bring your lunchbox over. I'll give you some chili sauce and stir-fried mustard greens. It's delicious!"
There's no meat to eat now, let alone being tired of it. If there's no ginger water, their dry rations would be so dry they could choke to death. They don't need to eat things like cucumbers and pickled garlic at this time of year!
Therefore, Zhong Wanwan only ordered chili sauce and stir-fried mustard greens, as these two dishes are perfect for eating with rice and are suitable for this time of day.
Upon hearing this good news, Wang Erlaizi happily brought over his lunchbox, and Zhong Wanwan scooped a large spoonful for him, saying:
"Try it and see how it tastes. I'll scoop more for you if it's not enough!"
Wang Erlai quickly picked up a piece with his chopsticks, smacking his lips as he savored the aroma:
"It's so delicious! It's fragrant, spicy, and goes perfectly with rice. The key is that they're generous with the oil. Unlike my mom, who makes those mustard greens in those jars. There's no comparison to this!"
At this time of year, who goes hunting in the mountains without bringing big chunks of mustard greens, soybean paste, chili sauce, and stir-fried pickled vegetable shreds? You'd be so happy you'd be snotting through your nose!
Who has that much oil? Give some grown men a treat!
The other members of the hunting team looked at Wang Erlaizi with envy, thinking to themselves that being shameless had its advantages, as he had gotten a good meal!
Wang Erlai's best friend leaned in and said:
"Brother Erlaizi, give your brother a taste too."
As he spoke, he reached for the chopsticks, but Wang Erlaizi, being quick-witted, immediately closed the lunchbox and scolded:
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Don't you have your own pickled vegetables and soybean paste? They're the same. Why are you tasting other people's?"
Wang Erlaizi's best friend was so angry that he pouted and said, "They're all the same, why won't you let me try some? You're so stingy!"
Zhong Wanwan smiled and greeted the others:
"Don't be shy, everyone come and scoop a spoonful!"
Brother Wei, fearing that Zhong Wanwan would be taken advantage of for being too generous, took the initiative to refuse:
"We've brought pickled vegetables, so you two can have yours. It doesn't matter what we men eat!"
Zhong Wanwan knew Brother Wei's good intentions, and quickly scooped a spoonful for him, saying:
"I planned this out in advance, I only brought enough for everyone, otherwise how could the two of us finish eating so much!"
"Since you all didn't mind the trouble of bringing me along, then bringing you some pickled vegetables is no big deal!"
After saying that, Zhong Wanwan and Xia Ning each took a can and scooped out chili sauce and pickled vegetables for each member of the hunting team.
