In a grove of trees deep in the mountains, the laughter of the five seemed to almost drown out the chirping of insects all around.
It was as if they were the masters of this place.
8 PM —
After nearly an hour of making dumplings.
They successfully made 132 taro dumplings.
Each one is plump and round, a size larger than ordinary dumplings.
The meat filling is all used up, but only two-thirds of the dough has been used.
At this moment, everyone was all smiles, their eyes fixed on the water in the pot.
Before long, when the water started bubbling, they were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and they started putting dumplings into it.
Although this frying pan is already considered large, it still only held less than half of the dumplings.
Somewhat disappointed, everyone remained silent, watching with longing eyes the dumplings churning and changing color in the pot.
What a wonderful moment! The fruits of a day's hard work will soon be rewarded.
For them, who have lived on this land for more than 30 days, what could be more comforting to their souls than civilized food?
And so, after waiting expectantly for five minutes, a long-forgotten, delicate aroma wafted freely from the pot.
"Brother, Brother Feng!"
The four of them spoke almost simultaneously and looked at Ye Feng at the same time.
After a busy day, they only ate a few pieces of dried meat in order to make these dumplings.
The four swallowed hard, their eyes gleaming with undisguised longing…
Ye Feng nodded; he was equally excited…
"Alright, I'll try it first and see if the taste is worthy of our hard work all day."
Liu Sisi handed him a pair of chopsticks that weren't perfectly straight.
Ye Feng picked up a taro dumpling, blew on it a few times, and then bit off half of it.
After just two chews, a variety of aromas and flavors instantly overwhelmed his tongue.
Despite grimacing from the heat, he couldn't stop chewing.
His eyebrows were raised high, and a clear smile crept onto his lips.
Such shock excited everyone.
They had never seen Ye Feng make such an expression over a dish of food.
"How was it? How was it?"
"Isn't it delicious?"
...
The group started asking questions all at once…
Ye Feng nodded very firmly.
"I don't know if it's just psychological, but this taste is something I've never experienced before in my life."
I think it tastes even better than scrambled eggs.
The meat of the pufferfish is very fragrant, like the tenderest part of a chicken leg.
Parrot meat is a little dry, but still delicious.
After absorbing moisture, the smoked jerky becomes very soft and tender.
The dried fish was a little fishy, but the begonia blossoms and elephant's foot leaves perfectly masked the smell.
The dumpling wrappers, after being coated with syrup, are not only soft and chewy but also have a slightly sweet taste.
In conclusion, aside from being a little too salty, the ingredients, cooking time, and flavor of these taro dumplings were all perfect.
After some comments, everyone eagerly started eating.
Fu Changxiong picked one up and, without caring whether it was hot or not, threw it directly into his mouth.
"Mmm! So delicious! Much better than our dumplings from Northeast China."
He mumbled words of praise despite being scalded.
This flavor is just right…
That makes sense when you think about it; with so much meat from protected animals, how could it not taste good?
If this were in China, this bowl of dumplings would be worth at least ten years in prison.
They ate frantically, just like famine victims.
Then they just grabbed it with their hands, without any verbal communication whatsoever.
Just by looking at how they wolfed it down, you could tell it tasted extraordinary.
At that moment, two little monkeys jumped out of the bag, seemingly smelling the aroma, and chirped at Ye Feng.
Knowing they didn't eat meat, Ye Feng bit off the filling and gave them the skin instead.
9 p.m.
After eating and drinking their fill, the group reclined on the floor with expressions of pure enjoyment.
They were touching their bellies, gazing at the dark night, their expressions radiating happiness…
Yes, for people who are used to living in the wild, a meal of dumplings that no one in the city would eat can bring them great satisfaction.
Of the 132 dumplings, they ate them down to less than 20.
Everyone was completely exhausted.
This was a world of difference from what they had experienced just three days ago.
Liu Sisi turned her head to look at Ye Feng, her eyes filled with admiration.
Perhaps only Ye Feng could provide them with such a life on this land.
"Brother Feng, it's so good to have you."
Ye Feng was still rolling his eyes; he had eaten at least 25 dumplings.
His stomach felt like it was about to burst, and upon hearing this, he let out a burp.
"Hey~ I've said it before, if we want to eat fish, we all have to weave a net together."
This is the result of our joint efforts; I just used my brain a little more than you did.
As long as we work together and move in unison, this land simply cannot do anything to us.
You agree, don't you?!
"right!"
The group responded listlessly, proving that even overeating can be tiring.
Fu Changxiong asked casually:
"Hey bro, once our treehouse is built, will we be able to eat dumplings every day?"
"cut…"
Ye Feng shook his head dismissively…
"Look at your lack of ambition. If I could find enough plants, I could make not only dumplings, but even hot pot."
It's a shame, though. Those idiots are all about money, not their lives. Survival is hard enough, and they're still thinking about money all the time.
After saying that, he realized that he had been so busy lately that he hadn't even had time to look at his watch.
Ye Feng took a deep breath and struggled to sit up.
He glanced at the black watch on his wrist with amusement, tapped it lightly, and what appeared on it was…
2250…
His brow furrowed slightly; the number had clearly taken him by surprise.
After a moment of silence, Ye Feng seemed to realize something.
He quickly looked at everyone...
"Hey! Do you guys remember how much money was in the prize pool when Ugly called last time?"
Everyone slowly sat up.
Liu Sisi replied:
"I remember it was 1,830."
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's expression turned even uglier. He stroked his chin and began to ponder to himself.
Everyone noticed the change in his expression and quickly asked him...
"Brother Feng, is there a problem with this number?"
"Of course there are, the problems are huge..."
Ye Feng slowly looked at everyone…
"I remember Chou Chou said back then that killing one person now costs 400,000 yuan, and dying one person costs 200,000 yuan."
After the rules were announced, we climbed a small hill and encountered Kodiaz and his gang.
Later I killed one of his men with a poisoned arrow, and then we killed two of LeBron Jones's men.
After that, Little Stutterer used the Sound Box Fruit to kill another one. That makes 1.6 million plus 18.3 million, totaling 19.9 million.
But now it's 2250, which means that killings are happening elsewhere too.
