She recognized the green plants with red fruits as tea trees.

This is a good thing. The seeds can be pressed into tea oil, which not only tastes good when cooked, but also has high nutritional value. It can also be used as a lubricant and anti-rust oil in industry. Tea cakes are both pesticides and fertilizers.

She now has a flora book kept in her space, which contains a special introduction. When building a base in the apocalypse, she also had people plant it and put it into use, so she has rich experience.

Her own backpack was still quite empty, so she picked a lot of fruits and threw them into it, preparing to take them back to make oil.

The main cooking oils at home now are lard and soybean oil. You need coupons to buy pork fat or soybean oil, so the amount of oil used in cooking is very small and the dishes taste bland.

Seeing Song Chu picking fruits, Zhao Di helped Lu Lao sit down, and he also went forward to help.

"Can this fruit be eaten?" He didn't know what it was.

Song Chu smiled and said, "You can't eat it, but you can make oil from it."

Zhao Di was stunned. "Can this thing be used to extract oil? Can it be used for cooking?"

"Of course, this is a tea oil tree. The tea oil fried from it is fragrant and nutritious when cooking." Song Chu did not hide anything.

Zhao Di was stunned again and laughed: "So this is a tea oil tree. I have used tea oil before, and the dishes cooked with it are really good."

"Can you cook?" Song Chu asked while picking fruits.

Zhao Di did not hide it, "I used to be a chef and I even opened a restaurant, but I was reported by my apprentice."

Song Chu knew the madness of this era. Not only were there reports between masters and apprentices, there were also many cases of sons reporting their own parents.

"Then your cooking skills must be pretty good." Song Chu said with a smile.

Speaking of this, Zhao Di was quite confident, "Our family's cooking skills are inherited from our ancestors. My ancestor was an imperial chef."

Hearing this, Song Chu's mind turned. She was a food lover before the end of the world. Whenever she had a holiday, she liked to travel all over the world to taste delicious food. After the end of the world, she was forced to give up this hobby, and it was not possible to realize it in this era.

Her mother’s cooking skills are just average, just edible.

But if Zhao Di is the imperial chef, then he can often be asked to help with cooking.

"Are you still accepting apprentices?" she asked.

Zhao Di looked at her inexplicably, "You don't want to learn cooking, do you? Our family has an ancestral precept that the skill is passed down to sons, not daughters."

Song Chu shook his head: "I don't want to learn, but I want my second brother to learn."

Apart from being lazy, her second brother's favorite thing is eating. If she wants to change him, she can start with eating.

Let that guy learn cooking skills so that he can improve his eating conditions at home in the future.

After the reform and opening up, people's lives have become better and better, and their attention and requirements for food have become higher and higher. For her second brother, this is also a way out.

"This..." Zhao Di was a little embarrassed.

He is fifty years old now. He has loved cooking since he was a child. He has never married or had children, but he has taken in three apprentices and teaches them wholeheartedly.

But in the end, two people teamed up to report him, and the other person just watched coldly and dared not have any relationship with him anymore for fear of being implicated. This also made him discouraged, and he decided not to accept any more disciples from then on.

"If your second brother hangs out with me, he will be implicated." He thought for a moment and said tactfully.

Song Chu said indifferently: "Just learn secretly, this situation will change one day."

She paused and said, "Your life is not easy. If you can teach my second brother how to cook, I will help you improve your living and eating conditions. How about that?"

Zhao Di pondered for a moment, then sighed, "Okay, then let him come to learn secretly. I won't accept apprentices anymore, but as long as he is willing to learn, I will teach him."

No matter what, Song Chu is their savior, and this favor must be repaid.

Moreover, he knew that Song Chu's uncle was the team leader, and even if he was discovered contacting them privately, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Song Chu was a brave and strong man, so he would occasionally bring some meat to the cowshed to help improve the food.

He didn't want to go against his original wish and accept another disciple, but he could also teach him without any title or status. Anyway, he didn't have all the seasonings, vegetables, meat, etc., so he could just teach some home cooking, which would be harmless.

"Okay, that's settled then." Song Chu found that he had a good harvest today in the mountains. Not only did he get meat, he also discovered oil tea trees and found a master for his second brother.

As for whether Song Laoer is willing to learn cooking, there is no need to consider it at all. If he is unwilling to endure hardship, he will definitely be fine after being beaten a few times.

She could still bring herself to take action against Song Lao Er, a cunning and treacherous man.

After picking and filling the backpack, Song Chu went down the mountain with the two men.

Zhao Di supported Lu Lao and followed her. They didn't encounter any danger along the way. After more than an hour, they walked out of the back mountain.

The two men were bad guys, and they had no choice but to come to the mountain to collect herbs today, so naturally they had to take a detour back to the cowshed.

Zhao Di was afraid that someone would see Song Chu with them and implicate her, so he walked to the front of the mountain and said, "Give me the backpack, and we'll go back from the path over there."

"Okay." Song Chu handed over their backpacks and asked as if he remembered something, "Can you make snake soup or something?"

Zhao Di smiled and said, "I will."

"I'll come to the cowshed to find you later, and you can help me make some snake soup." Song Chu herself is not good at cooking, and when she takes the snake meat back to cook, her mother will probably just stew it casually.

Zhao Di was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she was not afraid of getting involved with them. "As long as you are not afraid, I will definitely have no problem."

"Do you need to prepare anything?" Song Chu asked.

Zhao Di smiled and said, "To make authentic snake soup, the seasonings vary greatly, so let's just make something simple. You can bring ginger, garlic, and any condiments you have at home, and bring the chicken in your backpack as well."

"Okay." Song Chu nodded.

Zhao Di carried the backpack and helped Lu Lao out from the other side, while Song Chu grabbed the big snake and carried the backpack on his back, walking back in a swagger along the normal way down the mountain.

When they arrived at the village, the villagers who were working were shocked to see Song Chu holding a headless python. The timid ones even couldn't help but scream.

For example, several female educated youth in the educated youth center were most afraid of snakes. When they saw the bloody snake in Song Chu's hand, they couldn't help but scream out in fear. Although they were far away, they couldn't help but keep backing away.

Not to mention them, even the men in the village felt a little scared when they saw the snake in Song Chu's hand.

If they encountered this thing alone, let alone catching it, they would have to run for their lives.

She is worthy of being called the female village bully, so awesome!
