Chapter 30 One Step to the Stomach
Ding Yuluo kicked Yao Tao from the front.
But before her feet could touch anyone, Yao Tao grabbed her ankle.
She didn't even see Yao Tao's movements clearly.
"You, you let me go." She wanted to pull her legs back, but Yao Tao's grip was so strong that she couldn't move after struggling twice.
"Let me go!" Ding Yuluo shouted.
Yao Tao sat there without moving at all, grabbed Ding Yu Luo's ankle with one hand and swung it hard.
Ding Yu Luo's body drew a parabola and fell onto the ripped-open mutant dog corpse behind Yao Tao.
The more frightened she was, the more unstable she became, and her body and head were covered in the mutant dog's blood.
The team members gathered around to watch the fun and laugh.
Ding Yu Luo stood up in a panic. Only one shoe was left, and he couldn't find it.
"Ahhh, Yao Tao, I'm going to fight you!" Ding Yuluo cried and rushed towards Yao Tao.
The team member who was burning the fire nearby calmly threw a piece of firewood on the ground, and Ding Yu Luo happened to step on it.
Ding Yuluo twisted his ankle suddenly and fell heavily to the ground.
“Puff!”
There were snickers all around.
Ding Yuluo was almost going crazy.
He stood up and continued to fight with Yao Tao, but his ankle was twisted so badly that he was in so much pain that he dared not touch the ground.
"What are you doing?" Wang Zhi walked out of the tent.
There was a commotion at the stove, and he heard it in the tent. When he came out, he saw Ding Yu Luo, all dirty and covered in blood.
The team members were all grinning and gloating.
Only Yao Tao sat there quietly peeling potatoes.
Every time he saw Yao Tao, Wang Zhi would feel his heart suddenly calm down.
She was in stark contrast to Ding Yuluo's noisy and unreasonable behavior.
"They all bullied me." Ding Yuluo complained to Wang Zhi.
Wang Zhi didn't want her to get close to him at all.
The dirty blood smelled fishy, and it made people feel sick from head to toe.
"Don't come over here." Wang Zhi scolded, "Just stand there and talk."
"Yao Tao bullied me, don't you care?" Ding Yuluo was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
Wang Zhi looked at Yao Tao and asked, "Did you bully her?"
"No." Yao Tao replied with two words indifferently.
"You were the one who pushed me onto that disgusting pile of stuff, and you still don't dare to admit it!"
A team member on the side couldn't help but interrupt, "Sister-in-law, if you dislike this meal so much, you'd better not eat it later, otherwise it would be a waste if you vomit."
Another team member said, "Yes, sister-in-law, if you hadn't kicked Yao Tao, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Who can you blame?"
Wang Zhi's patience was almost at its limit. He pointed at Ding Yuluo and said, "Get out of here right now. If I see you again tonight, I'll throw you outside the resettlement area and feed you to the mutant animals."
Seeing their boss was really angry, the team members all scolded Ding Yuluo, "Sister-in-law, please leave quickly. The boss is really angry."
Ding Yuluo knew that if she didn't leave, Wang Zhi would really do what he said.
She endured the pain in her feet and limped towards the tent.
"Wait a minute." Yao Tao suddenly called her.
Wang Zhi thought Yao Tao was going to plead for Ding Yuluo, and said unhappily, "You don't have to persuade me. Today I have to let her know the consequences of disobedience."
"I'm not trying to persuade you. I just don't want her to enter the tent. Look how dirty she is. How can I sleep at night?" Yao Tao looked disgusted.
"That's true." Wang Zhi called a team member over, "Go get some water and let her wash before going in."
The team members quickly fetched water in buckets.
The water was cold, and there was no dedicated area for washing in the resettlement site.
"Boss, where is my sister-in-law taking a shower?" asked the team member.
"Let's find a place, right here." Wang Zhi pointed to the open space next to him.
Ding Yuluo almost fainted after hearing this.
There's nothing covered here, let her wash here?
Didn’t all the team members see it?
The water-carrying team member was so happy that his eyes took advantage of her and urged her, "Sister-in-law, hurry up. I have to go eat after I finish washing you. Yao Tao's cooking is delicious. If I go too late, the wolves will definitely not leave any for me."
Yao Tao turned around and continued, "Don't worry, I'll save some food for you."
"Oh, sister Yao Tao is the best." The team members smiled happily.
Ding Yuluo gnashed his teeth in hatred.
In order to avoid being seen, she had to shower with her clothes on.
After several buckets of water, although the dirty blood was washed away, the fishy smell on his body could not be washed off.
The aroma wafted out of the big pot, and Wang Zhi and other team members gathered around the pot, chatting and laughing.
Yao Tao deftly picked out two roasted potatoes from the fire and asked Wang Zhi, "Do you want some?"
"Yeah." Wang Zhi tried hard to control his boss image.
Yao Tao pushed the potato to his feet and said, "Be careful, it's hot."
Wang Zhi felt very happy.
The other team members followed suit and started to jeer, "That's not fair! Why is it that only the boss gets to eat baked potatoes, and we don't?"
Wang Zhi glared at them, "Yao Tao brought these potatoes herself. There are more in the pot. Even if you have food, it won't stop you from eating!"
"Haha, we eat what's in the pot, but we're also greedy for what's roasted."
"Don't give me that. There's no share for you." Wang Zhi picked up a baked potato, which was so hot that he had to toss it back and forth with his hands.
Yao Tao opened the lid of the big pot, and the aroma of marinated potatoes hit her face.
The meat was stewed in the pot and all the broth seeped into the potatoes.
In addition, Yao Tao added her own seasoning packet, and the taste can be said to be extremely overbearing.
The other teams and scattered survivors would occasionally look over here.
Ding Yuluo couldn't stop drooling when he smelled the fragrance.
She had gone hungry for two meals and thought she would be able to have a good meal when Wang Zhi came back.
Unexpectedly, Wang Zhi brought Yao Tao back and wanted to keep her in the team.
No, Yao Tao must not stay!
Ding Yuluo hid in the tent, changed his wet clothes, wrapped himself in the quilt and shivered.
She must find a way to get Yao Tao out!
Yao Tao, Wang Zhi and others enjoyed a delicious dinner, and An Ran accepted everyone's praise for her cooking skills.
It is not easy to gain respect from others in the last days.
Especially as women, many people look at them with tinted glasses.
But when you have both strength and material resources, they will regard you as someone worthy of respect.
Just like tonight, she only had to contribute a little bit of potatoes and seasonings to win the hearts of all the team members.
This is much simpler than fighting and killing.
Why go through the trouble of physical adventure when you can win by eating delicious food?
Are the potatoes not tasty or the meat not fragrant? Wouldn’t it be better to just win without doing anything?
After dinner, Wang Zhi kept several important members of the team and discussed with them whether to accept Zhu Hua’s new mission.
After Yao Tao cleaned up her dishes and wanted to leave, Wang Zhi stopped her.
"You stay, I want to hear your opinion on some things."
Yao Tao raised her eyebrows slightly.
Wow, this really hits the spot.
In just one meal, she became an important member of the team.
