Chapter 395: Chapter 396: I Want to Eat Meat!
Qiu Mo was a little regretful, but seeing how tired Su Tang appeared, she didn’t press her further.
"Alright then, you go rest for a while, and I’ll go play some more."
Su Tang nodded, "Okay, come back early, is there anything you want to eat? I’ll cook it for you!"
Qiu Mo’s eyes lit up!
"Meat! I want to eat meat! The kind that you skewered and cooked was delicious!"
Su Tang suddenly burst out laughing.
Qiu Mo looked at her with a dumbfounded puppy dog face, not understanding why she was laughing.
Su Tang stood on her tiptoes, ruffled Qiu Mo’s hair again, and comforted, "Don’t worry, go and have fun. I’ll cook you something delicious, something you’ve never tasted before, but I promise it will taste amazing!"
Qiu Mo nodded resolutely, "Okay!"
She then impatiently dashed back onto the battlefield to join the grand snowball fight.
...
The winter nights come especially early.
By six in the afternoon, the sky had already darkened.
The temperature had dropped significantly compared to during the day, so everyone reluctantly returned home, promising to continue the battle the next day.
Every household lit torches, adding a touch of brightness to the dark night.
To welcome Qiu Mo’s arrival and to utilize the newly discovered ingredient—kelp, Su Tang prepared quite a few dishes.
She steamed a pot of rice, cooked stir-fry meat with mushroom, stir-fried meat with earth fruit slices, and stir-fried cabbage with meat. She also steamed sweet earth fruits and egg custard. She had prepared the egg custard for Hua Sheng, but she cooked an extra portion for Qiu Mo to try. Additionally, she made a pot of pork rib and kelp soup to keep them warm.
Seeing such an array of dishes, with their various scrumptious aromas mingling together, Qiu Mo’s eyes almost popped out of her head!
It was an experience she had never had before. Now, sitting on a stool with a bowl, chopsticks, and spoon in front of her, she mimicked the others as they deftly picked up their chopsticks.
The two slender sticks skilfully changing positions between fingers— it seemed simple enough.
But just as Qiu Mo was about to separate her chopsticks—
"Clack!"
One chopstick slipped from her hand. n𝚘𝚟𝚙u𝚋.co𝚖
Qiu Mo: "°ー°? Froze!"
All eating stopped as everyone turned their gazes towards Qiu Mo.
The situation was quite awkward.
Qiu Mo’s face reddened, not knowing what to do she tugged at Su Tang’s sleeve, her eyes filling with tears.
Su Tang scratched her head abashedly. All the beastmen of the tribe had learned to use chopsticks just by watching her demonstrate it once, so she had assumed they were especially talented. Now it seemed that wasn’t the case...
"I’m sorry, I didn’t know you’ve never used chopsticks before. How about you use the spoon like this to scoop out your food, okay?"
Seeing the delicious food in front of her but unable to eat, Qiu Mo was anxious!
Regardless of whether it was chopsticks or a spoon, as long as it allowed her to eat meat, it was fine!
The spoon was a small ladle and didn’t hold much. Since Su Tang had cut the food into larger pieces to accommodate for the beastmen’s appetites, Qiu Mo was only able to scoop a small piece of food or meat at a time.
After getting a taste, Qiu Mo could hardly stop herself from swallowing her own tongue! But she didn’t know how to use chopsticks, and the spoon couldn’t scoop up much food, which made her even more desperate!
She looked to Su Tang for help, but Su Tang was currently busy feeding Hua Sheng egg custard from a small bowl, and didn’t notice her plea for help!
Just then, a pair chopsticks loaded with meat was placed into the small bowl in front of her.
Qiu Mo looked up against the firelight, her vision blurring the beastman’s features.
Yadang spoke in an indifferent voice, "Eat quickly, it won’t taste good once it becomes cold,"
