Su Huaiyue was very generous. She knew that ostrich was not edible and tasted very bad.
But in this desert, any meat can be eaten.
Soon, Lord Li dealt with the ostrich.
The amount of meat distributed to Su Huaiyue and his group weighed more than ten pounds, which was twice as much as that distributed to others.
The more than ten pounds of meat feels heavy in the hand and exudes an enticing aroma.
She exerted a little force with her hands, felt the weight of the meat, and a sense of accomplishment rose in her heart.
Li'er's big watery eyes sparkled.
His cheeks flushed slightly with surprise, and he jumped up with joy with a light tap of his toes.
The braids flew in the air, and the strands of hair fluttered lightly with the movements.
Her voice was childish and full of joy: "Mother is great, mother found food again."
Wei Yunrou also held Su Huaiyue's hand in disbelief, and looked at Su Huaiyu with eyes full of admiration.
She said in surprise: "I said my sister-in-law is omnipotent. She actually killed two ostriches at once. My sister-in-law is amazing."
Su Huaiyue touched her nose and said, "The situation was urgent at the time and I didn't have time to think too much. I just felt a little regretful that I didn't find any water."
Madam Wei smiled kindly and comforted him softly, "It's okay. Water is hard to find. There's no need to blame yourself too much. Now we have meat to eat and ostrich eggs, and we are already very satisfied."
Wei Yunrou and the others echoed Madam Wei's words.
The next second, some discordant elements suddenly appeared in the joyful atmosphere - the beggar-like Wei Ersao.
When they turned around, they saw her looking like a mad woman.
Those things stuck to her body for a long time, emitting a faint fishy smell.
The Wei family members were dumbfounded. What on earth had Wei's second wife gone through along the way to become like this?
Surrounded by everyone's inquiring gazes, the second sister-in-law was so embarrassed that she had nowhere to hide.
In this desert with limited water and food, there was no extra water for her to wash.
Too embarrassed to face anyone, he hid in the tent and changed his clothes.
But the filth on his head and face could not be removed, so he could only meet people with his hair that was as messy as a chicken coop.
Wherever I go, I am laughed at.
Fortunately, Madam Wei still had a wooden comb, which helped her comb her hair a little smoother.
This time everyone was in high spirits, discussing how to make the ostrich meat delicious and tasty.
Not far away, with a bonfire lit, Mrs. Wei led everyone to prepare dinner.
A group of people gathered together and couldn't wait to start dividing the work.
Several people were busy processing the ostrich meat, excitedly discussing how thick it should be cut so that the meat would remain elastic and delicious when cooked.
Only Wei Ersao stood there with an unwilling look on her face.
A woman asked her to process ostrich meat, but she shook her head violently.
"I won't do it. I can't cut meat."
Wei Ersao refused loudly, with a hint of stubbornness in her voice.
The others were busy, but she was looking around.
After a while, her gaze rested on Su Huaiyue.
She was standing not far away, holding an axe in her hand, ready to chop wood.
Immediately, Wei Ersao came running up.
Su Huaiyue thought she was not good at cooking, so she simply hadn't prepared the firewood yet.
Su Huaiyue called a few people to go chop firewood with her.
Wei Ersao also followed with a flattering look on her face.
"I'll chop wood, too!"
Su Huaiyue cast a slightly suspicious look at him. He frowned, obviously annoyed with Wei Ersao: "You can follow me, but if you are chased by an ostrich again next time, I won't care about you anymore."
Hearing Su Huaiyue's words, Wei Ersao couldn't help but tremble, as if she remembered some horrible experience.
The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by an unconcealable fear and uneasiness.
The fear of being chased by an ostrich today had not yet completely dissipated. She adjusted her hair, pretending to be nonchalant, and said stubbornly, "Chopping wood is dirty and tiring. I won't go. I'd better stay here and watch the fire."
Su Huaiyue smiled coldly, as if she already knew Wei Ersao's excuse, but she didn't say much and ignored her.
In addition to a few exiles, the team collecting matches also included a few officials who also needed firewood to make fires and cook.
It was getting dark, and they held torches in their hands to dispel the darkness around them.
After walking for a while, the group found a few dead branches and some firewood, which are extremely scarce resources in the desert.
Just as they were sorting the firewood, Su Huaiyue caught a glimpse of several brightly colored fruits growing on a cactus not far away.
The fruit is bright red and exudes vitality.
"The fruits of these cacti are edible."
Su Huaiyue showed the fruit only to the people around him, and they walked forward half-believing and half-doubting.
He took out a small knife, approached the cactus gently, and carefully cut off the fruit.
"Is this really edible? I heard it can sting people."
A young officer frowned, obviously still a little worried.
"Of course you can eat it, but be careful."
Su Huaiyue answered with a smile, already thinking of her own little plan in her mind.
While everyone was concentrating on cutting the fruits, he quietly walked towards the mining area farther away.
After waiting until there was no one around, she took out the fully automatic steamed bun machine from her space and started to work.
After a while, bursts of white smoke rose and the unique aroma of steamed buns gradually spread in the air.
Su Huaiyue took a deep breath and looked at the big, plump, white buns that popped up with satisfaction.
Such cooking skills made her feel a little proud.
He made steamed buns with all the wheat flour he had.
Anyway, these steamed buns will not get moldy or deteriorate or dry out if they are kept in the space, so you can take them out and eat them whenever you want.
When he returned to the camp, night had already fallen, and by the time he got back, the meal was ready.
The aroma of ostrich meat lingered in the air, and everyone sniffed with all their might.
Su Huaiyue saw cooked meat floating in the soup in the pot, but there was no seasoning at all.
Just think about it and you will know that this taste will definitely not be very delicious.
She picked up a few pieces and chewed them for a few times. As expected, the indescribable strange taste made her frown.
Everyone around was eating with gusto.
Su Huaiyue took the bowl and quietly walked to the shadow of the campfire and sat down.
An officer turned to look at her and said, "Madam Wei, why don't you eat more? That's the only meat we have these days."
A woman next to her pricked up her ears and looked at her.
"I'm not used to the taste, but you guys can eat it without worrying about me."
He took out a few steaming dumplings from the space and started to enjoy his delicious dinner.
Su Huaiyue smiled, still calculating in her mind how many dumplings were left in her space.
