Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Eat Well Before Hitting the Road

Bai Junjun’s words made everyone hurry to focus on the task at hand.

They no longer had any pots or pans, making it impractical to cook fish soup as before, since they didn’t have a pot.

However, grilling the fish was too conspicuous, as once they started grilling, the aroma could probably reach Biluo, let alone the people ahead, who would surely follow the scent right to them.

But such issues posed no problem for the wilderness survival experts of the Qiu family.

Qiu Da went to the riverbank and picked some unidentifiable green leaves to wrap the three fish, while Lao Er and Lao San also gathered a pile of wet clay from the riverbank.

Then the three of them worked together to thickly cover the fish with the wet clay.

While they did this, Old Uncle Qiu was setting up a stove to start a fire, and Madam Liu was gathering firewood with several children.

The division of labor was clear, and in no time, the fish were in the fire, roasting.

These days, everyone had been continuously eating mushrooms cooked in Bamboo Tubes, and even with the food rationed by Mighty Hall, it was cooked in the same manner. They never thought that without a pot or stove, they could still manage like this!

"This mud..." Bai Junjun pointed at the fish covered in clay that had been tossed into the fire, somewhat at a loss for words.

"This way of cooking can hide the food’s aroma," Old Uncle Qiu, knowing Bai Junjun’s interest in food, patiently explained to her, "If there is enough time, building a kiln would be even better, especially for roasting ’Beggar’s Chicken’—it’s incredibly aromatic. We’ll try it another time."

Bai Junjun nodded repeatedly, her eyes filled with curiosity.

As time passed, the mud gradually dried and began to crack, and Qiu Da, quick-eyed and deft-handed, scraped them out of the fire.

At that moment, the six members of the Qiu family and the three members of the Bai Family closely formed a circle, all looking devoutly at the large clumps of mud.

Qiu Da, being the strongest labor force in the family, took on the responsibility of serving the food.

He took out a Dagger and slashed a few times at the dried clay, which cracked upon his actions.

After a long time in the fire, the leaves had long lost their green color, turning yellow and wilted, but when opened, a fresh aroma wafted out.

Qiu Da quickly opened the remaining two clay mounds, revealing the charred yellow leaves.

Peeling back the wilted leaves revealed an even stronger fragrance of fish, but more striking than the aroma was the appearance of the three big fish, which looked very different from those directly grilled over charcoal.

The fish skin was a bit charred but not burnt to charcoal, and its contours were still distinct, making it look even more appetizing.

Bai Junjun, while catching the fish, had thought the three were almost the same size, but seeing their appearance now, suddenly felt they were insufficient and wanted to catch a few more.

The people hadn’t eaten fish for a long time, and upon seeing these three fish, their stomachs inevitably began to growl.

However, desiring as they were, they couldn’t bear to eat first and let the children have them.

Yet Bai Junjun waved her hand grandly, "Everyone eat, eat well before we hit the road."

"?" The crowd was immediately confused.

That phrase sounded somewhat ominous.

Seeing the indescribable expressions on everyone’s faces, Bai Junjun coughed, "I mean, we are crossing the bridge tomorrow."

"..."

Crossing the bridge, crossing the Naihe Bridge?

The people didn’t catch on.

Bai Lingyu was the first to react, "Big sister, are we leaving tomorrow?"

"!!!" Everyone was stunned, "Leaving... tomorrow??"

"Yes, but first let’s eat our fill."

The group, hearing this good news, suddenly burst into tears.

"Don’t be so excited, let’s finish off this fish first," Bai Junjun still had her mind on the fish.
