Chapter 207 Bacon
Bai Yichen said proudly as he took out Anxin's spare clothes from the bag.
"It has to be quick. I can't let my wife just sit there in the pool and wait!"
It would be such a shame if this fair and tender skin got wrinkled and felt uncomfortable to touch at night!
Of course, An Xin didn't know what Bai Yichen was thinking at the moment. She was just touched that the man acted so quickly and did not want her to soak in the pool.
She quickly got out of the pool, took the dry towel from the man and started to wipe her hair. Of course, the man couldn't be idle during this process. He took another dry towel and wiped his wife's hair. While wiping his eyes, he couldn't help but glance at An Xin's fair and tender body.
His eyes were straight and scorching, making An An feel uneasy, and his movements were as fast as lightning.
Unable to wait for the moisture on his clothes and hair to be wiped dry, he quickly picked up his underwear and put it on himself. In a few seconds, he had put on the spare clothes that Bai Yichen brought.
The angry man could only stare blankly and said with a slightly regretful tone.
"Wife, please find a place to sit down and I will wipe your hair."
An Xin took the towel and said to the man.
"No, go wash up quickly, I'll dry my hair myself!"
Because there was no shampoo or anything, there was still some dirt on the man's head.
But this man just didn't care about himself and still had to rub oil on him.
But Bai Yichen was not willing to do that. He made a quick move and dodged An Xin's hand holding the towel, and continued to wipe An Xin's hair.
"I'd better dry your hair first. As for me, I'm a grown man, so I can do it later."
That action and posture were very domineering and possessive.
An Xin could only roll her eyes helplessly in her heart, found a clean stone to sit on, and let the man nag at her hair. He thought that he would not do anything to her hair.
Half an hour later, the two finally got themselves dressed and walked out from the pool. By this time, the convoy's entourage had already found dry branches from the nearby woods, lit a bonfire, and placed small iron pots on the bonfire to prepare for dinner.
An Xin walked over quickly and prepared to help cook dinner. Bai Yichen automatically stayed by the pool to wash clothes.
Kaizi was sitting by the campfire with Sanmao and Xiaozhong, adding firewood to the fire. When he saw Anxin coming, he looked up and asked.
"Are your heat stroke symptoms getting better?"
An Xin looked half dead before, her face was as pale as a ghost, even he was scared. Unexpectedly, she went there to take a shower, and after coming back, she looked very energetic. It seems that Bai Yichen's shower to relieve the heat was quite effective.
After dinner, Zhi will take his brothers to the pool to take a cold shower, cool down, and wash their sweaty and smelly clothes.
An Xin sat down by the campfire, took over the task of cooking, and answered.
"It's nothing serious. I'll drink more water later to relieve the symptoms, and I should be fine. By the way, I've learned a lesson from you this time. Next time you pass through the Gobi Desert, remember to drink more boiled water!"
It was her first time driving and she passed through a high temperature area. She had no experience and she got heatstroke without even realizing it. Doesn't this show that she has poor safety awareness and precautions?
Everyone present nodded quickly, and Sanmao spoke busily.
"I know. You just had a heat stroke and we were all watching. I was almost scared to death and thought you were going to die. How could I not learn from it?"
The minority who was inexplicably implicated looked up, glared at Sanmao fiercely, and retorted.
"Hey, Sanmao, what are you talking about? You're so scared that you think Anxin is going to die of anger on the spot. Am I not worried about her?"
Sanmao heard Xiaozhong's unconvinced rebuttal and pointed it out without hesitation.
"I'm worried. I saw you turn pale with fear earlier."
Just now, she was lying in Bai Yichen's arms with a pale face and eyes closed. Not to mention Xiao Zhong, even he was actually scared, but he couldn't say it out loud for fear of losing face.
When Xiaozhong heard Sanmao talk about her previous embarrassment in public, he did not hesitate to expose Sanmao's true face.
"Hey, you're still talking about me? Some people saw An Xin suffering from heatstroke and laughed so hard that they scratched my hands. How dare you talk about others?"
Unexpectedly, Sanmao turned the tables.
"Tsk, I was just worried about you. I was afraid that you would faint from fear, so I pinched you hard to help you concentrate and not faint!"
Just like that, the two of them were arguing fiercely beside the campfire, but An Xin heard the taste of friendship from them, so she waved to them.
"Alright, alright, stop arguing. Although the dishes we brought this time include bacon and some dried vegetables, they are still lacking some vegetables. Instead of arguing here endlessly, why not go find some wild vegetables and make some soup?"
One advantage of cooking in the mountains is that there is no shortage of firewood and wild vegetables to eat.
Deep in this small grassland, there are some green wild vegetables growing. They are tender and green. These wild vegetables are best for making soup. As long as you look for them carefully, I guarantee you will find a big bag of them.
Enough for everyone's dinner tonight.
Kaizi on the side also agreed with Anxin's opinion. He threw the stick in his hand into the fire and said to Sanmao and Xiaozhong.
"Let's go, leave the cooking to Anxin. We grown men are not good at cooking. I'll take you two out to find wild vegetables so that you don't have to mess around here. You might even have to waste your energy fighting later."
Instead of sitting here and roasting a fire, it would be better to go find some wild vegetables. When I bring them back, I can take them to the sink to wash them, and wash the vegetables as well.
Otherwise, I would just prepare the meal in peace. We would be sitting at the table, smelling the stench of sweat and sour food, and wouldn't be able to eat.
As soon as Kaizi said this, Sanmao and Xiaozhong immediately stood up and actively responded to his call.
"Let's go, let's go find some wild vegetables."
They acted right away. The three grown men stood up from the fire and walked towards the depths of the grassland, ready to look for wild vegetables. An Xin greeted the three men from behind.
"By the way, do you know which wild vegetables are edible and which are not?"
Don't bring some inedible wild vegetables. If you can't eat them, it's a small matter. But if you get poisoned after eating them, that would be a big deal.
The main thing is to make sure that a person from the 21st century can deeply understand that in the concrete jungle metropolises of the 21st century, some people cannot even distinguish between leeks and wheat, let alone wild vegetables. Perhaps in their minds, wild vegetables cannot be used as dishes, let alone eaten.
Obviously, Anxin's worries were unnecessary. Kaizi didn't even turn his head and waved behind him.
"Don't worry. We have been through a lot, after all. How can we not know which wild vegetables are edible?"
These days, which family is not wealthy? When I was a child, eating wild vegetables was a common occurrence. Before I grew up, some families could not even eat wild vegetables.
Therefore, it is impossible for Sanmao, Xiaozhong and Kaizi, three grown men, not to know which wild vegetables are edible or not.
Looking at the businessman's back as he walked away, he smiled with relief. Well, now that they know what edible wild vegetables are?
Then she would stop nagging and just wait for them to bring back the wild vegetables so that she could cook them herself. The more she talked, the more mistakes she would make. What if she didn't even know whether some of the wild vegetables were edible? Then there would be a risk of being exposed.
Who made her original owner a country girl? But the soul living here is from the 21st century.
Bai Yichen was washing clothes by the pond. In a few seconds, he had washed both of their clothes and walked back with them in his hands.
In the distance, the golden afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the grassland, and the smoke was curling up. His young wife was squatting by the fire, seemingly trying hard to cook. The unique fragrance of rice floated in the air, and the rice should be cooked.
Some of the big men in the convoy were collecting firewood in the nearby mountains and forests, while others were digging wild vegetables deep in the grassland. Xie Laoer and Hu Zi, along with two brothers, were checking the condition of the trucks, and from time to time they instructed the brothers to fill up the trucks that were short of water with water.
Bai Yichen couldn't help but let a tender smile flash across his eyes. Perhaps a person doesn't need much in his life, just a few close friends? A lover who understands you, three home-cooked meals a day, and daily fireworks are enough to burn all a person's happiness.
Thinking of this, the man quickened his pace and came to the truck rack, hanging the clothes on both sides of the truck.
Then, he walked quickly towards the direction where An Xin was cooking. An Xin was busy preparing meals for so many people alone, so if he went over to help, the meal should be ready soon.
An Xin was putting a piece of bacon into the boiling pot. The convoy had been running all day, and although everyone was tired, they were physically exhausted and in urgent need of nutrition. An Xin planned to slice the bacon, stir-fry the bacon with dried mushrooms, fry an egg, make a cold dish of dried day lily, stir-fry tofu skin with shrimp skin, and finally have a wild vegetable soup.
Of course, since the people riding in the sports car this time were all grown men except her, each dish An Xin made was large enough to ensure that everyone could eat well.
If reality didn't allow it, she really wanted to take out beef, mutton or seafood from her portable storage and prepare a good meal to reward everyone.
If he took out so many things when the team is driving the cars, I really don’t know how to explain it. So brothers, even if I want to let you eat better, the reality does not allow it, so you can only make do with it.
When Bai Yichen came over, he saw An Xin taking eggs out of a box and preparing to put them in another iron pot to make boiled eggs. She was probably going to cook them and then give them to people as a midnight snack when she was on the road. An Xin actually took out almost a hundred eggs from the small box. Bai Yichen didn't know how An Xin put all those eggs into the small box.
Of course, if An Xin knew that someone was watching her from behind, she would never take out so many eggs from her personal space at once. The main reason was that they were too magical. It was obvious that this small box could not hold so many eggs.
But she didn't see Bai Yichen behind her, so she pretended to take out so many eggs from the box at once.
Fortunately, although Bai Yichen was curious about how An Xin could take out so many eggs from a small box, he didn't delve into it further, and didn't even intend to ask about this strange behavior. He just said to An Xin.
"Wife, it's too hard for you to cook by yourself. Let me come over and help you. I have washed and hung the clothes. What do you think I can do?"
An Xin, who was concentrating on getting the eggs, was suddenly startled by Bai Yichen's voice. She quickly turned around and pretended to complain.
"Hey, how come you appear here without any notice? You didn't even warn me."
Emma, I was so scared that I almost broke the egg in my hand.
This vest is really hard for me to keep!
It seems that next time he wants to take something from his personal space, he'd better observe the surrounding environment, at least to know if there is anyone around him, otherwise there is a great risk of being exposed!
Bai Yichen said innocently in response to his wife's resentful look.
"No, I just saw you busy here, so I came over to help."
He really just wanted to come over to help, how could he have expected An Xin to react so strongly?
Seeing that there was no strange expression or inexplicable surprise on Bai Yichen's face, An Xin finally put her heart at ease and pointed at the eggs on the ground and said to Bai Yichen.
"Since you are here, I will not be polite. Put these eggs in the pot and boil them into boiled eggs. When we go on the road later, let each car take some. When you are hungry, you can eat them on the road."
As long as men don't continue to pursue these eggs, where do they come from? Then there is no need for her to reveal her identity.
The road to covering up one's identity is long and arduous, right?
"Well, shall we have bacon tonight?"
Bai Yichen agreed verbally, took a step forward, opened the lid of the iron pot, and quickly put the eggs that An Xin had taken out earlier into the boiling water. He glanced at the contents of several pots and smelled the aroma of bacon wafting from the pots.
An Xin nodded.
"Yes, we are out and about, and it is not easy to bring fresh meat, so let's eat bacon for dinner tonight. I plan to slice the bacon and stir-fry the bacon with dried mushrooms, and then make other dishes and cook a pot of wild vegetables."
Bai Yichen had no objection to An Xin's dish arrangement and agreed directly.
"It's OK, as long as there's something to eat. I believe in my wife's cooking skills, and she will definitely make a delicious meal for everyone."
When you are away from home, there is no need to be so particular. It is good enough to have food to eat. What's more, with An Xin's cooking skills, he has been eating for so long, doesn't he understand that every dish is guaranteed to be a delicacy? It is guaranteed to make the kids who eat it have their mouths drooling and they will savor it while sitting in the car!
