Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 193 Black Salt

Chapter 193: Chapter 193 Black Salt

Everyone was touched by the long-lost taste of homemade cooking.

Especially Bai Junjun, who, eating stir-fried dishes with oil and salt for the first time, couldn’t help but widen her eyes.

"How... how is there oil and salt?"

"The oil comes from the pork itself, and the salt is extracted from the roots and stems of those plants."

Li Wenli pointed to a patch of grey-black not far away.

Bai Sasa said, "Earlier, Brother Wenli pulled out a lot of plants and brought them back. He burned these things to ash, then boiled the ash with water. After bringing it to a boil, he filtered it through a cloth and got some black substance."

"Right, that’s black salt," Li Wenli said with a smile and a nod. "Many plants contain salt, and as long as you know how to identify them, you can extract black salt. It’s all recorded in the books on agriculture and sericulture. Doesn’t the World’s Number One Talent Girl know?"

"..." Bai Junjun was just about to praise him as impressive, but Li Wenli’s words made her choke on her compliment.

However, the original host was only interested in astronomy, geography, poetry, and odes, none of which were practical. She had absolutely no interest in such agricultural remedies and survival skills.

But whether she had an interest was her own business. What right did this guy have to throw sarcastic remarks so often?

Was it simply because the original host cuckolded him?

But thinking about it, Bai Junjun paused and felt that perhaps it wasn’t incorrect.

Cuckolding someone, yet as a person with Wind Series Special Abilities, he generously spared the original host’s life, only occasionally resorting to verbal sarcasm. Indeed, that was quite forbearing.

So Bai Junjun could only reply in a tone that was neither light nor heavy.

"You are quite a jack-of-all-trades."

Li Wenli curled his lips into a smile: "I guess so."

The back-and-forth between the two left Bai Sasa dumbstruck.

In the past, the eldest sister disliked Li Wenli, always frowning upon meeting him. Even when Li Wenli risked his life to escort her to the Ninth Prince’s territory, she responded indifferently. Never had it been like now, where the two could sit at the same table and even exchange words in conversation!

It was truly bizarre.

But this was also quite nice.

Thinking of her authoritative father, who had frequently punished the eldest sister over Li Wenli’s marriage issues, if the eldest sister and Brother Wenli could reconcile, perhaps their father would rest in peace.

However, this thought only flashed by, and Bai Sasa dared not speculate any further.

After all, the eldest sister’s heart was inscrutable. If she wanted to win her sister’s affection, it was best not to guess at her feelings.

At that moment, Bai Junjun was unaware of Bai Sasa’s inner turmoil; she was just earnestly eating the meat, feeling more and more that Bai Lingyu had done something great.

It was fortunate that he had strongly persuaded her to let Li Wenli join.

His cooking... was devilishly delicious!

"By the way, I saw you brought back some stuff for washing hair and bathing. Give me some to use later."

"Washing hair and bathing???" Bai Junjun looked at him blankly: "When did I have that kind of stuff?"

"???" Li Wenli stared back at her, equally puzzled: "The Red Lantern Ginger and Soapberry you stored in the warehouse."

"?????" Bai Junjun produced a hundred times more question marks than Li Wenli.

Bai Sasa was the first to snap out of it, exclaiming in realization.

"Eldest sister, could it be the wild fruits you picked yesterday afternoon?"

"Ha! You didn’t foolishly eat them, did you?" Li Wenli felt he had guessed the truth, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Bai Junjun narrowed her eyes, a chilling aura shooting forth.

"You have a problem with that?"

"Cough... no, but beyond eating them, they undoubtedly have more valuable and effective uses."
