"That's right, it's getting late, we really should start preparing dinner! As usual, let's split up again this time!"
After saying this with a smile, Wu Jianguo turned to Jiang An and said, "Jiang An, you've just joined our family today. Consider tonight's dinner a welcome dinner for you and Little Turtle! However, for the preliminary preparations for dinner, I'd like to trouble you and Xiaoyu to go and dig up some fresh and delicious wild vegetables, is that alright?"
After he finished speaking, Wu Jianguo looked at Jiang An again, his eyes seemingly seeking her opinion.
In fact, Wu Jianguo knew very well that Jiang An's cooking skills were exceptional, and that her cooking skills also had a certain special attribute bonus.
However, Jiang An did not come here to cook, but to fight and fight against the dwarves.
If you insist on someone cooking, then you're treating them like any other ordinary cook!
Therefore, after a brief but careful consideration, Wu Jianguo did not suggest cooking. Instead, he arranged for Jiang An to team up with Li Xiaoyu, so that the two of them could go together to complete the task of digging for wild vegetables.
Firstly, both of them are lesbians; secondly, they were already quite familiar with each other before this.
Upon hearing Wu Jianguo's suggestion, Jiang An nodded without hesitation and replied, "No problem, Xiaoyu and I will go together!"
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaoyu excitedly grabbed Jiang An's arm, muttering, "Haha, that's great, An'an! Come on, come on, I have to tell you all about how digging for wild vegetables is a piece of cake for me..."
"Okay!" With this crisp and cheerful response, the two linked arms naturally, their faces beaming with bright smiles, chatting happily as they walked, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
And so they walked further and further away, their figures slowly disappearing from everyone's sight.
As they walked, they came to a patch of lush grass and stopped.
Li Xiaoyu gently bent down and pulled out a basket hidden in the grass.
Then she turned around and said to Jiang An with a smile, "There are two shovels here, let's each take one."
As he spoke, he took one of the shovels out of his basket and handed it to Jiang An.
Jiang An didn't tell Li Xiaoyu that she also had a shovel in her storage bag. Instead, she reached out and took the shovel without saying a word, and held it tightly in her hand.
At this moment, Li Xiaoyu seemed to suddenly remember something and excitedly pointed to the basket behind her, saying to Jiang An, "How about it, An'an, have you ever seen something like this before? Let me tell you, it was woven by Brother Wu himself from vines!"
After she finished speaking, a smug look appeared on her face.
Jiang An was quite surprised to hear that the basket was made entirely by hand from vines.
She stared wide-eyed at the seemingly ordinary yet ingeniously crafted basket in front of her, exclaiming in admiration, "I never expected that Angkor Wat would have such amazing craftsmanship! I've only ever seen similar things on TV before."
Seeing Jiang An's curious expression, Li Xiaoyu couldn't help but giggle.
Then, she teased him, winking mischievously as she asked, "There's a lot you don't know! So, guess how old Angkor is this year?"
After thinking for a moment, Jiang An replied somewhat uncertainly, "Around thirty years old?"
However, Li Xiaoyu smiled and shook her head, deliberately pretending to be mysterious as she said, "No, guess again~".
The two walked side by side, their mouths never stopping as they gossiped about others.
"Forty? Forty-something? That's impossible! She looks so young!" Jiang An stared at Li Xiaoyu beside him with a face full of suspicion, while Li Xiaoyu was already barely holding back her laughter.
"It's not forty-something, it's exactly fifty!" Li Xiaoyu finally couldn't hold back and blurted out the answer.
"My God, he's already fifty years old? How can he look so young!" Jiang An was completely stunned, because she couldn't see any sign of being an uncle in Wu Jianguo no matter what she looked like.
“It’s absolutely true! Brother Wu himself told me that when he first came here, he had a lot of gray hair, but now look at him, you can’t see a single gray hair!” Li Xiaoyu lowered her voice unconsciously as she said this.
"You mean..." Jiang An hesitated, but stared intently at Li Xiaoyu.
“That’s right, I think it’s very likely that the special foods we usually eat are the reason. They might be able to help us live longer. An’an, you must have noticed it too, right? Our bodies have seen very obvious improvements and enhancements in all aspects!” Li Xiaoyu continued.
"Even if all aspects of one's physical health are significantly enhanced, and lifespan is appropriately extended as a result, so what!"
At this point, Jiang An couldn't help but sigh deeply, "If I could have the chance to choose again, I would rather choose to stay in that familiar and warm modern world without hesitation!"
"Absolutely! Who wouldn't want to live peacefully and safely with their family? How wonderful those days would be!"
Li Xiaoyu, standing beside her, nodded in agreement, a look of longing also appearing on her face.
Just then, Li Xiaoyu's expression suddenly changed, and she excitedly shouted, "Hey, look over there, there are wild vegetables!"
Before she finished speaking, she dashed forward like a joyful little deer, then quickly squatted down, skillfully picked up the small shovel in her hand, and began to dig.
Upon seeing this, Jiang An quickly stepped forward to check on the situation.
However, when she saw the wild vegetables in front of her, she was stunned—because these wild vegetables were completely unfamiliar to her; she didn't recognize them at all and couldn't name them.
Filled with curiosity, Jiang An couldn't help but ask, "Xiaoyu, how did you know this plant was a wild vegetable?"
Li Xiaoyu looked up, winked playfully at Jiang An, and replied with a grin, "Hehe, this is my unique skill! Even without any related introduction or description, I can identify what an object is at a glance with my unique perception."
"I recognized that desert gemstone so easily just like that!" she said, raising her chin proudly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang An was slightly taken aback. After several seconds, he reacted and exclaimed sincerely, "This is truly a very practical talent skill!"
"Practical? Hmph, don't be ridiculous! In this kind of brutal survival game, this level of practicality is utterly insignificant! Compared to those real big shots, we're far behind!" Li Xiaoyu's eyes dimmed as she said this, and a clear sense of disappointment appeared on her face.
