On days like this, when the heat has dissipated, it's the perfect time to enjoy braised dishes.
In addition, CatDodo collected quite a few seasonings during this trip, which he then used to develop and apply them at this banquet.
At first, the flavor of the braised food wasn't very noticeable, but as time went on and it got close to dawn, that enticing aroma began to spread.
The Serpent King, who was sleeping near the cave entrance, was almost at his limit.
Cat Duoduo couldn't help but lick her lips, already dreaming of eating all kinds of delicious braised dishes.
As for the little ones, they were yawning and clearly still sleeping, but they crawled and rolled forward, subconsciously heading towards the direction where the aroma of braised food wafted.
If it weren't for the unfortunate coincidence of stepping on the snake Rongjiaer and being stopped in time by these two males, these little gluttons probably would have really been unable to resist eating all the braised food.
The effect of braising is self-evident.
The next day, Maoduoduo prepared a big meal.
The little ones were in charge of collecting fruit and helping out. They were quite skilled at this, and even the Snake Rong couldn't take their eyes off them.
As for She Rong and Jia Er, who were in charge of hunting, they had already caught quite a lot of prey. In addition, Leopard Lie continued to send over the prey they had hunted, which made Cat Duo Duo worry about having so much prey.
"Forget it, let's keep a little for pickling, and deal with the rest."
She rubbed her hands together, then immediately put her skills to use, rummaging through her storage space and barely managing to find a small amount of chilled soybean oil. There was only a little, barely enough for Mao Duoduo to make a few light vegetarian dishes.
As for the meat dishes, they were prepared by frying, stewing, boiling, stir-frying, and braising, which left Valina and Yuri, who had come at noon, dumbfounded. They both regretted bringing their partners.
"Hurry up and eat, I rarely make this kind of thing on my own initiative anymore," Mao Duoduo said excitedly.
The snake cubs were already drooling, but they were waiting for CatDodo's instructions.
Valina and Yuri looked on, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and could only nod. This was a small gathering, within the circle of friends. Everyone was just eating, drinking, and having fun casually.
For example, the snake cubs were eating when they looked at the stream flowing by, hoping that fish would appear there.
The other orcs were also rather lazy, eating and resting at the same time. CatDodo, on the other hand, decided to have some lettuce wrapped around grilled meat. The moment she took a bite, the spicy aroma of the grilled meat mingled with the refreshing taste of the lettuce, and she showed a satisfied expression.
It was at this moment that Valina and Yuri found an opportunity to sit down next to her, without rushing to eat the meat in their hands.
The braised dishes were truly authentic; Maoduoduo used a variety of ingredients and seasoned them perfectly. Even Walina and Yuri, who were trying this type of braised food for the first time, found it mouthwatering.
They suppressed their appetite and took the initiative to inquire about Mao Duoduo's recent life.
"Don't worry, I'm doing great lately. I don't need to do any heavy work, and I have my little one to play with."
She smiled, making Valina and Yuri want to complain inwardly, as if the cubs were born for her to play with.
Seeing this, they couldn't help but laugh. "It's good that you think of it that way. We thought that Bao Lie's taking over your house would make you a little uncomfortable."
"Don't worry, it's just a house, it's not like I can't let it go. Besides, Leopard Lie brings my family food every day." Cat Duoduo winked and teased, "My family has quite an appetite, he's not having an easy time here."
"Pfft, I do know that."
Yes, precisely because they saw that Leopard was injured yet still had to go out hunting, many people in the village chose to keep quiet. This could be considered the best example of Leopard bringing trouble upon himself.
Seeing the smile on CatDodo's face, Valina and Yuri felt much more relaxed. They glanced around and lowered their voices as well:
"Judging from your expression, have you found a new partner? In my opinion, Gal is quite good. He's obedient and willing to stay with you."
"Hahaha."
They saw it all and subconsciously regarded the rather bad relationship between Maoduo and the original owner as a kind of cold war, so they naturally hoped that Maoduo could stay in this state for as long as possible.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, there's nothing between me and Gal..." Cat Duoduo's words suddenly stopped, just because she saw Snake Rong sitting on the tree next to her.
The other person did indeed look exceptionally handsome and unique when he wasn't speaking. Now, after hearing what Valina and Yuri were saying, he also glanced over at them.
Even though there was no one there, CatDodo sensed that the other person had heard what they had just said. Suddenly, CatDodo climbed down from the tree and headed away into the distance, seemingly never to return.
“Serpent Rong.” Cat Duoduo blurted out, making Valina Yuri’s heart tighten.
"Excuse me, I have to go now."
CatDodo nodded hurriedly and subconsciously chased after him.
Seeing this, Valina Yuri's worries grew stronger. What should she do? If her friend Cat Dodo really cared too much about Snake Rong, wouldn't she be caught up in the anxiety and uncertainty of this relationship?
"Serpent Rong—"
After chasing for a while, when it saw the other party stop, it quickly stepped forward.
She stood in front of the other person, panting, staring intently at him, and quickly apologized for what had just happened.
"Don't overthink it, Valina and Yuri were just talking nonsense." Don't worry, I didn't cheat on you.
"Since it's such a nice time, let's just keep eating. I've prepared a really lavish meal this time." Just be a good foodie, focus on ruthlessly finishing off the food, and stop thinking about anything else.
Cat Duoduo stared longingly at Snake Rong, trying not to anger this great Buddha.
She Rong stared at her without moving, then suddenly sneered, saying only, "Your actions have already revealed your thoughts."
"...What are you saying?" CatDodo was stunned.
Snake Rong simply said, "Let's end our partnership." His expression was indifferent, and the disgust in his eyes when he looked at Cat Duo Duo seemed to have lessened somewhat.
It seems like severing ties like this would allow them to continue living normally. But wait, here's the problem: severing ties like this means she'd have to watch as the Serpent Rong transforms into a rootless beast, becoming as insane as the guys she'd encountered on the road?
CatDodo's heart tightened, and just as she was about to speak, she heard a rustling sound. SnakeThree suddenly leaned out from a nearby branch and hissed:
"Father, Mother, are you going to separate? Are you abandoning us from now on?"
Cat Duoduo's pupils contracted; she was almost scared to death.
Snake Rong frowned. "Snake Three." The brat was eavesdropping.
Snake One and Snake Two suddenly darted out from the bushes ahead. It was unclear how they had managed to hide, as Snake Rong hadn't noticed them.
They stared at She Rong with pleading eyes, their pretty little faces filled with unhappiness. "Daddy, is this really how it has to be?"
