Soon, Gu Qingchen, Xu Tianyi, and Yan Xiaoju found a pile of dry branches and some wood.
The wood should have been cut down when someone came to camp in the past, which saved them a lot of trouble. Gu Qingchen came out without an axe. It was impossible to cut down the trees.
Xu Tianyi was very good at starting a fire. He quickly lit the branches and put some wood on them.
As they were in the forest, they had to be very careful when starting a fire. Therefore, Gu Qingchen and the others could not light a big fire. They could only gather a small pile of wood.
The three of them went back and forth to search for firewood. It was enough to last for a night, so they stopped looking for wood.
The fire they made was only enough for Gu Qingchen and Yan Xiaoju.
The students of Hongfeng were all smart people. When they saw Gu Qingchen and the others making a fire, they set up their tents and went to look for firewood.
As for the students from other schools, they wanted to ask for help. After seeing that everyone was self-aware, they discussed and left some people to set up tents and some to pick up firewood.
Soon, night fell. The students returned one after another, but their faces were full of fatigue. With so many people coming at once, it was not easy to find firewood.
“I’m hungry. Let’s eat.”
Xu Tianyi rubbed his stomach. After a long day, other than breakfast in the morning, he had not eaten anything for almost the whole day. He was already hungry.
Gu Qingchen and Yan Xiaoju were fine. After all, both of them had gone through hardships. They could withstand the hunger.
“Xu Tianyi, why don’t you go and get some wild animals to roast and eat?” Yan Xiaoju suggested.
“No. Just eat the ready-made ones. Don’t worry. Don’t worry, I brought the food even though I didn’t bring the tent.”
Xu Tianyi took a few pieces of bread and sausages from his small bag and gave them to Yan Xiaoju and Gu Qingchen without hesitation.
However, they did not take Xu Tianyi’s food. After starving for a whole day, bread and sausages were not enough.
“Xiaoju, I’ve prepared food and water for you in your bag.” Actually, these things were not prepared by Gu Qingchen.
It was prepared by Rong Yu when Gu Qingchen left in the morning. Initially, she did not want to take it, but after seeing Rong Yu show it to her, Gu Qingchen decided to take it all!
Previously, Yan Xiaoju only saw water, but she did not seem to see anything to eat. After rummaging through it, Yan Xiaoju took out several vacuum bags.
“Is this it?” Yan Xiaoju took out a bag and asked.
“Yes. Bring some water too.”
When Yan Xiaoju was ready, Gu Qingchen taught her how to use it. When Xu Tianyi saw it, he was stunned.
“No way! Little sprout, you even prepared this! Where did you get it?”
Yan Xiaoju had never seen this vacuum bag before, but Xu Tianyi had seen it before and knew what it was.
“Do you know it?” Gu Qingchen asked.
Xu Tianyi nodded, “Of course I know it. I’ve even eaten it before!”
Yan Xiaoju looked at the vacuum bag in her hand. It was hard to imagine that it was food.
Xu Tianyi had eaten it before, but Gu Qingchen was not curious. After all, Xu Tianyi was from a rich family, so it was normal for him to have seen it before.
“But where did you get this? And you got so many! This thing is rare and only available in the army.”
Xu Tianyi spoke very seriously as if this thing should not appear in the outside world.
It surprised Gu Qingchen a little. She thought that what Rong Yu gave her was more advanced, with some high-tech stuff. Since Rong Yu had connections with the laboratory, it should be easy to make these things.
But she did not expect that this thing was used exclusively by the army!
“Really? Only the army have it?”
Xu Tianyi nodded. It did not seem like he was joking. “This thing is for the people in the army. They use it when they are in the field. Because they are out in the field, it’s inconvenient to cook. Furthermore, they would expose themselves to their enemies. So now they are all using this, but outsiders don’t know about it.”
Gu Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then nodded. She did not expect that Rong Yu had not only dabbled in the business world but also in other circles.
She had to reassess Rong Yu’s ability.
Yan Xiaoju did not understand what Gu Qingchen and Xu Tianyi were talking about. She just looked at the vacuum bag in her hand.
“What is this? Food? It doesn’t look like it.”
Gu Qingchen began to demonstrate to Yan Xiaoju. She cut a small hole in the bag, poured water in, and put it aside.
Yan Xiaoju also followed Gu Qingchen’s method. She cut the hole and poured water, then put it aside and waited.
Xu Tianyi looked at the bread and sausage in his hand, then looked at the vacuum bag of Gu Qingchen and Yan Xiaoju. He said with envy, “I want to eat too. Count me in.”
Looking at Xu Tianyi’s pitiful look, Gu Qingchen was not stingy. She took a bag from her bag and threw it at Xu Tianyi.
After Xu Tianyi received it, he smiled and said while pouring water, “Let me tell you, I went on a hunt with my dad before. They ate this at that time. The taste is comparable to the restaurant!”
After about fifteen minutes, Gu Qingchen saw white smoke coming out. Then, she opened the bag, and fragrant chicken rice was served!
Yan Xiaoju was dumbfounded. It was chicken rice!
Yan Xiaoju smelled the fragrance, and her stomach started growling. She quickly imitated Gu Qingchen and opened the vacuum bag. Hers was beef rice, which was also very fragrant.
The three of them surrounded the bonfire and began to eat dinner. The rich aroma immediately drifted into everyone’s nostrils.
They had been hungry for a whole day and were very tired. When they smelled the aroma, they felt that they were starving to death.
However, they did not have any negative emotions. Instead, they were full of energy. The thought of eating after they finished their work urged them to move faster.
The group of people sped up a lot. Soon, they finally set up their tents and lit the bonfire.
At this moment, An Lan’s group smelled something because they were close to Group One. Some people even came to check on the situation.
They immediately felt hungry when they saw Gu Qingchen and the other two eating.
A girl from An Lan’s group walked toward Gu Qingchen.
“Hi.” The girl hesitated for a moment and then spoke to Gu Qingchen and the other two.
Gu Qingchen and the other two looked at the girl. The girl asked in embarrassment, “What are you eating?”
Uh…
They were attracted by the fragrance.
Xu Tianyi looked at the rice in his hand and then raised his head, “Rice.”
One word, concise and comprehensive. Couldn’t this girl tell what they were eating?
“Can I exchange my food with you guys?” The girl took out bread and sausage.
After Gu Qingchen saw it, she turned to look at Xu Tianyi. The corner of Xu Tianyi’s eyes twitched a few times.
