Pot???
She actually brought a pot? Did she really think that she was here for an outing?
Dai Wenhuo could not understand what was going on in this woman’s mind.
However, Gu Yundong had already started to look for rocks to build a small stove.
Dai Wenhuo frowned. At the same time, the other guard, Dai Zhong, felt that it was not good to let a girl do things, so he whispered, “Young Master, I’ll go nearby to pick up some firewood.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
Dai Zhong did not walk far either. He was within sight and could come over if anything happened.
After Dai Zhong left, Dai Wenhuo finally could not take it anymore and walked towards Gu Yundong.
His tone was still rather gentle. “Miss Gu, it’s not good to go hunting in the mountains with a pot, right?”
“How can it not be good? It’s convenient to cook.” As she spoke, she took out a seasoning bottle from her backpack.
Dai Wenhuo’s mouth twitched. “We went into the mountains to hunt. We’re not that particular about food.”
“You can’t say that. Although we’re on the mountain and there are limited conditions in all aspects, we have to give ourselves the best treatment we can, right? It won’t delay things even if we bring the pot. We can eat some vegetables and rice occasionally after we eat too much roasted meat. This time, we’ll be on the mountain for a few days.”
When Dai Wenhuo heard about the rice, he wondered if she had brought the rice with her.
Sure enough, Gu Yundong took out a small bag of rice. It was not much, but she could still eat a few meals with some water and porridge.
Dai Wenhuo was suddenly at a loss for words. He felt a little irritated. “You sure know how to enjoy yourself.”
“So Young Master Dai came to the mountains to suffer?” Gu Yundong was surprised. “In that case, I’ll put less rice. Coincidentally, this pot isn’t very big.” It was enough for her and Shao Qingyuan to eat.
She was indeed as good as her word. Dai Wenhuo almost fell back in anger.
Forget it. He did not want to waste any more time. He returned to the rock he was sitting on and took two sips of water from the water bag. He did not want to talk to Gu Yundong anymore.
Not long after, Dai Zhong found a lot of dry firewood.
Gu Yundong didn’t use the firewood. She found a few large pieces of dry wood, lit a fire at the bottom, and covered it with a lid. She let the small milk pot boil.
Then, she found two wild vegetables beside her. After washing them, she placed them on the oilcloth and cut them into pieces.
When Shao Qingyuan and Dai Yi returned with two pheasants each, Gu Yundong had already prepared everything.
There was even a fragrance coming out of the milk pot.
Shao Qingyuan was a little surprised. “You’re cooking porridge?” He hadn’t looked carefully before and didn’t notice that she had brought rice.
Gu Yundong looked at the pheasants in his hand. Yes, they were very fat and tender.
She wanted to take them, but Shao Qingyuan didn’t let her. “I’ll handle it.”
Although he did not know how to cook, it was not a problem for him to deal with wild chickens and rabbits. He could light a fire and roast them to make do.
Gu Yundong did not move. Shao Qingyuan and Dai Zhong took the pheasants to the river to kill them.
After a while, they cut open the pheasants and skewered them to roast.
Dai Wenhuo only let out a sigh of relief when he smelled the roasted chicken. He quickly sprinkled the seasoning on it.
His two guards took out a few pancakes from their bags. They were made by the old woman from the Shao family before they went out this morning. There were a lot.
The pancakes were dry and could last for two days.
Except…
Dai Wenhuo watched as Gu Yundong took out two small wooden bowls and filled them with hot vegetable porridge. She ate with relish and he held two pancakes in silence.
