"I can only handle it, not do it," Jiang Yuan said while handling the task.
She can handle these things because she's seen so many underworld officials dealing with evil spirits in the underworld.
Although humans and ghosts are different, their operational theories should be similar.
"I can! I can!" Zhang Yu exclaimed excitedly, raising his hand. Finally, it was his turn to come in handy!
“Okay, then I’ll leave the grilling to you.” Jiang Yuan nodded and replied.
"Roast? Master Jiang, there's no fire here?" Zhang Yu glanced at the container and saw that it had essential seasonings like salt and soy sauce, but no fire.
"If there's no fire, then we'll make our own." Jiang Yuan smiled, as if she had already considered this issue.
"Make fire?" Zhang Yu asked, puzzled.
But it wasn't long before he understood what Jiang Yuan meant by creating fire.
Zhang Yu held the wood and drilled into it, his hands almost smoking from rubbing, before he could even see a tiny spark.
Upon seeing the spark, Zhang Yu was both happy and excited.
This fire was made by its own hands!
Zhang Yu didn't dare to delay and immediately placed some easily flammable leaves next to the sparks as a kindling.
The moment the leaves caught fire, Zhang Yu almost jumped up.
"Fire! Fire! It's on fire!" Zhang Yu exclaimed excitedly.
"Don't jump anymore, be careful not to put out the fire," Lin Yuwei warned as she packed up the flag and other things.
"Aww, Sister Yuwei is right." Zhang Yu immediately quieted down, not daring to jump up, for fear that the fire would go out.
After treating the rabbit, Jiang Yuan poured half of the only bottle of mineral water onto it to wash away the blood. Then, she picked a decent tree branch, peeled off some bark with a knife, skewered it onto the rabbit, and roasted it over a fire.
The fire burned slowly, but it was just enough.
The three of them stood around the fire, staring at the roasted rabbit in front of them.
As time passed, the aroma filled the air, and Lin Yuwei and Zhang Yu stared intently at the roasted rabbit, not even blinking, almost drooling.
Seeing their expressions, Jiang Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.
They're kind of cute.
"There's only half a bottle of water left. If we're still thirsty after drinking it, we can eat some wild berries to quench our thirst. Tomorrow we'll look for more supply boxes."
"I just tried the wild fruits around here. They are small but non-toxic, and they have some juice, so they are edible."
Jiang Yuan spoke up and handed the remaining half bottle of water to Lin Yuwei.
"Master Jiang, you are so kind." Lin Yuwei looked at Jiang Yuan with gratitude, her eyes reddening.
Jiang Yuan is so kind.
If she had a younger sister like that, even if she was an adopted sister and not related by blood, she would cherish and pamper her.
She's so well-behaved and sensible.
There was only half a bottle of water left, but he didn't drink a drop himself and returned it to them. He even tested the wild fruits around the bottle to see if they were poisonous.
If you make a mistake during trial and error, it could be fatal.
But Jiang Yuan risked her life for them.
Looking at Lin Yuwei's expression, Jiang Yuan knew she was overthinking it.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't drink the water; giving it to them will at least maximize the use of the mineral water. It would be a waste for her to drink it herself.
As for her trying wild fruit, whether it's poisonous or not, it won't have any effect on her.
Of course, if it's poisonous, she can detect it.
"By the way, Master Jiang, since that rabbit eats meat, how did you catch it? And how did it get into the supply box?" Zhang Yu asked while sprinkling feed on the rabbit.
"Use toothpicks to prop up the two corners of the supply box. Once something goes in, it will definitely hit the lid of the supply box. Toothpicks are inherently unstable, so as long as something enters the supply box, the toothpicks will fall down and the box will close. As for how to hold it up... I used my blood," Jiang Yuan answered honestly.
Her blood is a delicacy to anything.
Whether it's a person or an animal.
“That’s right, rabbits eat meat, and blood is smelly, so rabbits come running because of the smell,” Zhang Yu said innocently, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable his idea seemed.
"Oh, Master Jiang, does your finger hurt?" Lin Yu asked with concern.
“It’s just a drop of blood, it won’t hurt,” Jiang Yuan replied, shaking her head.
"It's only the first day and it's already this difficult. What will happen in the next few days...?" Lin Yuwei frowned, worried.
This rabbit was their first meal today, and they only managed to catch it thanks to Jiang Yuan.
The next six days may not be so lucky.
Moreover, she would definitely not want to use Master Jiang's blood to catch rabbits or other things if she could avoid it.
The first day was already so difficult; we only found a few flags, and we don't know if we'll be able to find any more later.
As for supplies, that's even more unpredictable.
After searching all day, I found two supply boxes, one of which wasn't very useful.
At least the reliable place Jiang Yuan found had a knife and some seasonings that could be used.
"Everything is difficult at the beginning. The first day was a bit tough, but once you get used to it, it will be fine," Jiang Yuan comforted her.
"Yes, I believe what Master Jiang said, things will only get better!"
"If we can eat meat today, we can have a whole roasted meat feast tomorrow, and a Manchu Han Imperial Feast the day after tomorrow."
Lin Yuwei rallied her spirits and spoke.
If Jiang Yuan says things will get better, then things will get better.
She's worrying unnecessarily, which is demoralizing and really shouldn't be happening!
"It's ready to eat! It's ready to eat!" Zhang Yu was only thinking about food. He exclaimed happily as the rabbit turned golden and slightly crisp.
Then, he used a knife to cut open the skin of the roasted rabbit, and instantly the aroma filled the air.
Lin Yuwei's stomach rumbled in agreement.
Zhang Yu first cut off a rabbit leg, wrapped it in clean leaves, and handed it to Jiang Yuan.
Then he repeated the action, cutting off another big, fat leg and giving it to Lin Yuwei.
As for himself, he was eating a calf.
Master Jiang caught this rabbit. He hasn't helped at all from the beginning until now. He's paid according to how much work he does.
He contributed the least, so he deserves to eat the calf.
They're eating so deliciously!
[It smells amazing! I've already opened the app and started ordering roasted rabbit.]
My stomach is growling! Damn it, is this a wilderness survival show or a food program?!
"No, nobody told me Zhang Yu's cooking skills were this professional. The way he sprinkled the seasonings just now clearly showed he was a professional."
[Haha, Zhang Yu's face is all blackened from the smoke, so cute! I like him more and more.]
[Zhang Yu cut off a piece of his own calf and gave the rest to Master Jiang and Lin Yuwei. What a sweet guy! I love him.]
If I were to marry Zhang Yu, would I be able to eat meals cooked by him?
Sister, it's nighttime now, but it's not time to dream yet. Can we stop dreaming for a bit?
[I never knew toothpicks had so many uses besides picking your teeth.]
I quite like him; his acting is good too. I didn't expect him to be such a well-behaved guy—he's really considerate and kind to others.
I believe Director Zhang's suggestion about toothpicks has proven very useful!
[Can a single drop of blood really attract a carnivorous rabbit? Doesn't that seem a bit far-fetched?]
