Lin Ru admired this greatly; when it came to food, she would rather not eat than eat something half-heartedly.
If you really want to eat it, try to make it as delicious as possible!
If this bear had known from the beginning that the Wu Clan cooked so casually, it wouldn't have let them cook!
And isn't what they did really child abuse?
Wu Ling noticed her question, first giving Wu Juan a warning look before explaining, "That one time, the cook was Uncle Guang, who taught us martial arts. He ate the meat with us, and we all got stomach aches when we got home that night!"
"Uncle Guang ate the most and caused the most trouble! After he recovered, he was beaten up by the families of us kids in turn, and after that, he never dared to cook raw meat for us again!"
Lin Ru had already imagined that scene, and couldn't help but smile!
She added some more seasonings to the pot, including salt, sugar, and a handful of wild scallions!
"Don't worry, there's no conflict! Since you've followed me, I have an obligation to make your lives better! The current circumstances simply don't allow it, otherwise I would have changed all your clothes! So for now, I can only make sure the food you eat tastes a little better!"
Wu Ling, Wu Juan, and the others were deeply moved upon hearing Lin Ru's words!
They all looked at the pot with great curiosity, finding it very novel. "Chief! What did you put in here? It looks like medicinal herbs! Will it taste better with these things in it?"
Lin Ru nodded. "This stuff is indeed a medicinal herb, but it's also a seasoning to remove fishy smells, so it should taste better! By the way, consider these ingredients a gift for you."
"If you catch any more prey in the future and need to stew meat, just put some in the stew. Don't be lazy!"
"Don't be stingy with salt. If you don't eat salt for a long time, you'll feel weak all over!"
Wu Ling, who was listening nearby, nodded repeatedly!
When Bai Shi and Rong Peiyu heard about Wu Ling and the others' experiences, they felt very sorry for these teenagers!
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, because of his big appetite, he was kicked out of his family and went out to make his own way in the world. He had never eaten anything good before!
And they seem to be a little mentally challenged.
They insist on recognizing their precious Ru'er as the clan leader!
Logically speaking, shouldn't the clan leader be missing his father?
It's obvious he's mentally challenged, starving, and mistaking people for people!
So they all came to help, so that they could have a good meal!
They lifted the pot lid to take a look, then found some wild ginger nearby, pounded it with a knife, and put it in!
Rong Peiyu also found the wine that Bai Chengye had secretly hidden and poured some into it!
That little flavor came right away!
Simmer it over low heat! After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the aroma slowly began to waft out!
Because it had been simmering for a while before, and now it had been simmering for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, it felt almost ready! The most important thing was that they couldn't waste too much time on this breakfast, and Lin Ru also wanted to take them up the mountain to gather some herbs before they left!
So everyone opened the pot and got ready to eat!
The Wu clan members were already drooling over the aroma. They all held bowls bigger than their faces, filled with rice, and gathered around the pot, waiting for Wu Ling to serve them!
Before putting the two bear paws that Lin Ru had bitten into into the meat, she cut off the parts she had bitten off and then put the whole bear paws in to stew with the meat.
Wu Ling first picked out four bear paws and put them into a large basin, then poured some broth and bear meat on top, and personally served it to Lin Ru!
Then he went back to distribute food to his people!
Lin Ru smelled the bear meat, which had clearly lost its fishy odor, and was very excited!
However, having learned from her previous experience, she dared not take too big a bite this time, and only took a small bite!
But after taking one bite, wow, it's still a bit tough!
But the taste was noticeably better than before, so she ate a few more pieces of bear meat! That concluded her breakfast!
But Wu Ling and his group clearly didn't care whether the meat was cooked until tender or not! They could soak a pound of rice in the broth alone!
Let's not even talk about the meat anymore! They devoured it with gusto!
They even fought over who got to eat the last bit of broth, and Wu Ling won an overwhelming victory, gaining the right to eat the last bit of broth!
He poured the rice into the pot, making sure each grain was evenly coated with the soup and oil at the bottom of the pot!
Finally, I scooped it all back into the bowl and ate it all!
Because of this meal, everyone in the Wu clan who was initially indignant about recognizing Lin Ru, this little girl, as the clan leader now sincerely felt that this was the best choice! The ancestors' choices were indeed the best!
Lin Ru never expected that just hunting and a meal would win over the hearts of the Wu clan!
Moreover, his status in their hearts is already subtly surpassing that of Wu Ling!
Especially Wu Juan, who was always glued to Lin Ru's side, telling her gossip about their clan every day! She described it vividly!
This made Lin Ru, who never listened to other people's gossips, feel uncomfortable if she didn't listen to it for a day!
On the way to gather herbs, Wu Juan kept huddled next to Lin Ru and chattered incessantly!
"Chieftain! Do you know? When we first came out, we were begging for food on the road. Then a wealthy noblewoman, just because she glanced at our young chieftain in the crowd, started coming over every day to bring us food! She even wanted our young chieftain to be her bodyguard!"
"You have no idea! Her eyes are practically glued to the young clan leader!"
"I even tried to persuade him to go along with it, saying that he could take us to see the mansions of rich people and maybe even get a good meal!"
Lin Ru glanced at Wu Ling's bright red ears beside her and asked with amusement, "Did your young clan leader go?"
Wu Juan shook her head in exasperation at his lack of ambition!
"Go away! They only delivered meals for two days! And our young clan leader got so angry that he left!"
"That lady clearly took a liking to his face. When she brought us food, she said she didn't ask for anything in return! But the young clan leader insisted on killing someone for her as payment!"
"After Lady Nami refused, he went to investigate her family and learned that Lady Nami's husband always beat and scolded her, and that he not only took many concubines, but also frequented brothels and had many mistresses outside!"
"So every time he saw that beautiful woman, he would say that he would help her kill her husband!"
"That person was so scared that he never dared to come back, and he even reported us to the authorities! They were going to arrest us, and that's how we met that Master Huang!"
Lin Ru really felt that Wu Ling was hilarious!
He seems to lack any social skills or understanding of human relationships. He's always ready to help someone kill someone. Anyone would be terrified in that situation!
At this moment, Wu Ling was completely unaware of his mistake. He innocently said, "Lin Ru! Don't listen to his nonsense. That woman clearly came to ask me to kill someone. Otherwise, why would she bring us food and always want to be alone with me? Besides, she said she wanted to be a bodyguard! So, besides protecting her, I'd also help her kill anyone who poses a threat to her!"
"I don't think I did anything wrong!"
Lin Ru looked at his bewildered expression and Wu Juan's helpless look, and burst into laughter!
"Wu Ling! Why do I feel like everyone in your clan is quite normal, except for you, who's so clueless, like it's your first time out here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent, and even Wu Juan began to frantically watch Wu Ling's expression!
