Chapter 196: Chapter 196: Preparing to Cast the Net
Perhaps because of the apology he made, the bond between Gaiya and Hu Tian had significantly strengthened. He even invited Hu Tian to join him in the small cave to taste the new dishes Su Tang had made.
Following the two with a faint smile on her face, Su Tang felt extremely gratified, experiencing a profound sensation akin to seeing one’s own children grow up.
On returning to the cave, the sight of the Soft Fruit on the metal cutting board made Su Tang feel slightly awkward.
Caught up in the excitement, she had completely forgotten that there wasn’t much of the Soft Fruit left.
Feeling unnaturally awkward, she coughed softly and said, "Well, you guys should quickly go and bring some meat back, also get some Sweet Earth Fruits, Earth Fruits, and mushrooms from Aunt Hongguo. I wouldn’t be blamed if you guys go hungry later."
Gaiyin:...
Looking at the two little ones by Su Tang’s side, he became more annoyed the more he looked at them. Once they reached the new tribal land, he definitely couldn’t let Gaiya live with them.
It was one thing for them to monopolize Su Tang during sleeping hours, but now they even wanted to compete with him for food. It was absolutely intolerable!
Giving Gaiya a deep look, Gaiyin called out to Yadang and left the small cave. The two of them headed out to get the ingredients Su Tang wanted.
In the days they had spent in the cave, Su Tang had taught everyone how to make dumplings and stuffed pancakes. The Soft Fruits they had previously gathered were distributed according to a certain ratio. There was a faintly strange, delightful aroma wafting about in the cave.
Yadang chuckled softly, "It’s no wonder they can’t resist, the food that Sugar Cub makes smells so good. It would be strange if they could resist."
Staring straight ahead, Gaiyin casually remarked, "Mmm. If it weren’t for Su’s food, we probably would not have found them, let alone trying to catch them."
He looked around and saw no other Beastmen. Feeling relaxed, Yadang stretched lazily and said nonchalantly, "But will they really come out tonight? We’ve already mentioned that we’re leaving tomorrow. What if they don’t show up?"
Gaiyin corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smirk, "Not coming out? Well, then they might as well never come out at all."
Yadang’s body stiffened slightly, his eyes widened, "You...what do you mean?"
Gaiyin’s cold gaze swept over him, sending a shiver down Yadang’s spine. He quickly laughed it off, "Nothing, nothing, let’s go get the food quickly. We don’t want Sugar Cub to get anxious waiting!"
...
A few hours of simmering had turned the Bone Soup to a milky white, and it was emanating a rich aroma.
Gaiya was squatting next to Su Tang, drooling incessantly.
"Auntie, how long will it take for the noodles to be ready? Yaya is hungry!"
Unable to suppress her laughter, Su Tang shook her head, "Look at you, so impatient. Even your brother Hu Tian isn’t as eager as you."
Upon hearing his name, Hu Tian quickly swallowed his saliva and gave Su Tang a naive smile.
"Alright, alright, I’m making the noodles now. We’ll eat soon. Go play with your brother Hu Tian for a while. I’ll call you guys when it’s ready!"
After sending Gaiya off, Su Tang wiped the sweat off her forehead and began to roll the Soft Fruit with a rolling pin.
She rolled a small piece of Soft Fruit into a large pancake-like shape. Then she rolled and cut it into finger-wide noodles. She then took a few mushrooms and a large piece of meat, sliced them into shreds, and set them aside.
She asked Gaiyin to create another stove. She then heated the oil in the pan, stir-frying green onion, ginger, and garlic to bring out their aroma. She added the shredded meat to the pan and started sautéing.
