Then some dry fallen leaves were ignited, emitting wisps of swirling green smoke, and then burst into bright yellow flames, illuminating the surroundings.
Sitting by the small fire, Loran Hill watched the flickering flames, adding branches and small pieces of wood.
The loose branches of the bush were bent in his hands, the green bark twisted, and the light white wood was pulled out. Then he picked it up and placed it on the fire to ignite it. Threads of water vapor overflowed from the gaps between the fibers of the bush branches, bulging out small bubbles and making a slight sizzling sound.
After burning off the bent part, there was no need to worry about the remaining part rebounding, so the girl put it into the fire.
The flames gradually grew larger, emitting warm heat, dyeing the surrounding environment orange and yellow. Loran Hill's pupils also reflected a faint light yellow color, like flames swaying in the water.
What to eat? Loran Hill checked his own storage space and put some ingredients on the fire. Among them were the taro he bought in the East, the mushrooms that he and Keti had not finished eating before (they had become dried goods), the potatoes he planted in the forest, the ice flame honey that Yi Xue gave her, and the purple-shelled peanuts they gave him when he was in Zhaoye Palace.
Sure enough, I still need some meat. Although I don’t have to worry about nutritional development, it doesn’t seem good to be a vegetarian all the time.
Thinking of this, she searched the storage space for a while before finding a piece of air-dried bacon. Thinking back, it seemed to be a gift from Nia.
That year, she and Niya went to the grassland. On the way back, Niya was worried that she would not be able to find food on the road. After all, the grassland was very large and there was little food, so she gave her some smoked meat and bread.
The bread had naturally been eaten long ago, but the bacon had been forgotten in the corner.
It shouldn't be bad, right? Loran Hill blinked, looked at the salt-cured bacon on the stone slab, poked it with his hand, and felt its hardness.
The girl was surprised to find that the bacon was actually edible after carefully scanning the ingredients with her senses.
But even so, you still have to peel off the outer layer, which will be better.
Well, no need to add salt.
A small clay pot was placed next to the fire. Loran Hill poured clean water into it, then cut the bacon into several pieces and added it in, and then added some spices such as peppercorns, and then turned his attention to other food on the side.
Mushrooms and taro can be added, which is a perfect match. As for the purple-shelled peanuts, just bury them under the fire. When you finish eating them, you can use them as snacks.
The same goes for honey. Add a little water and it becomes a very good sweet drink to go with rice.
Beside the small campfire, with the lid of the clay pot closed, Loran Hill sat beside it, supporting his head with both hands, quietly waiting for dinner to be cooked.
As the night deepened, the occasional bird song could be heard from the dark mountains in the distance.
Silver hair draped in front of her body, sparkling in the firelight, gurgling bubbles danced slightly, and a fragrance slowly emanated from the white mist.
A slender hand carefully picked up the lid, a pair of chopsticks reached into the jar, and then the white taro was picked out.
In the bright yellow firelight, the taro cubes were emitting white steam, and they spun gently in the breeze, dissipating the heat before being put into the mouth.
Still a little hot, the girl thought.
Then, a light sweet and soft taste gradually spread.
In the peaceful night, the silver-haired sage girl sat under a big tree, the bright yellow firelight flickered, and time passed slowly.
