1104: I Brought the Lighter

I Brought the Lighter

After cleaning the fish, Xia Xibei went to the side, squatted down, and picked something up.2

The photographer came over to take a look, smelling a familiar pungent scent.

This seemed to be a green onion!

Did this wilderness have green onions?

However, this question was not difficult to answer.

This was not far from the village. There could have been birds bringing green onions here, or someone had sown seeds to grow the green onions.

Xia Xibei's footsteps didn't stop there, she turned to another place, dug again, and unearthed a piece of something yellow.

Ginger?

The photographer was dumbfounded.

There was ginger here?

What the- Did the villagers farm everywhere? Didn't they have their own land?

How in the world did Xia Xibei know there was green onion and ginger here?

With the green onions and ginger, Xia Xibei didn't look elsewhere. She went back to the river, peeled the ginger with a knife, squeezed out the ginger juice, and smeared it on top of the fish to marinate.

By the time she was done with this, Nie Zehai and Shi Shuhang had also returned with firewood in their arms.

Looking at Xia Xibei, their eyes widened.

"You're so efficient!"

They couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.

Before, they were worried if it would really work.

However, Xia Xibei was simply amazing!

She was the god of cooking, right?

In the face of their praise, Xia Xibei smiled, but didn't say anything.

She had been living on her own for so many years! How could she not know how to cook?

In the past, when she lived on her own, she couldn't afford to buy too many ingredients, let alone waste them, so she had to force herself to learn how to make something taste good with limited ingredients.

Moreover, she even worked in a small restaurant! Cleaning fish was nothing. She had also cleaned chicken and duck.

However, she rarely cooked anymore.

She used to have to cook for herself, but now that she had help, she didn't want to work as much.

It could be said that Qiao Yanjue cooked more often than she did.

However, when she was free and in the mood, she would still cook.

Although she hadn't cooked for a long time, her skills were not rusty.

Besides, just because she didn't cook didn't mean she didn't do other things- like refining medicine.

The refinement of medicine was all about controlling the cooking time of the material, which was not as simple as cooking.

So, it was also a case of practice makes perfect!

They found an open place, cleaned up the surroundings to make sure it would not catch on fire, and then began to build a fire.

"Who has a lighter?" 

Shi Shuhang's eyes looked at the photographer, but the photographer shook his head.

Even if they had a lighter on them, they could not lend it to them.

Shi Shuhang was instantly disappointed.

They were not going to make fire from rubbing pieces of wood together, were they?

"I have one here."

Xia Xibei had already pulled out a lighter.

"How do you have a lighter?!" Shi Shuhang was stunned.

It was hard to believe that she smoked!

Otherwise, who would carry a lighter?

"I got it from the place we're staying at now."

Xia Xibei glanced at him impatiently.

"Huh? We have a lighter there?"

Shi Shuhang and Nie Zehai looked at each other, both surprised.

How had they not noticed?

"There is one, in the kitchen." Xia Xibei answered as she lit the fire, "Didn't I just go in and look around? There was a big earthen stove, and there was also a lighter."

So, she brought the lighter with her.

The two men were even more surprised.

How could she have known to bring a lighter so early on?

She was too well prepared!

Did she know she could catch the fish and would need to use the fire?

Xia Xibei's performance really changed their perception again and again!
