Chapter 204: Chapter 204 Beeswax

Bai Junjun looked at the powder coating the two birds, which had originally been black, green, and some brown, but now the powder had melded into the oil, honey, and fat, obscuring its original appearance.

She broke off a bird leg and took a bite, and in that instant, it felt like her entire brain exploded.

What kind of supreme delicacy was this?

Bai Junjun’s eyes widened more than copper bells.

The meat was completely devoid of any gamey taste, the powder seeming to be spices that covered up any foul smell and enhanced the freshness, and the most deadly aspect was the hint of honey’s sweetness amidst the salty crunch, making the flavor even richer.

After the small birds were cooked, they shrunk considerably, and the group, like a whirlwind, quickly picked the bones clean.

Initially, the children felt a bit cruel watching Li Wenli kill the birds and murmured about whether the number was too high while plucking the feathers.

However, now everyone had devoured 10 little birds in no time, and rather than feeling full, they were even hungrier.

Luckily, Li Wenli had prepared over thirty birds. Seeing all that bare meat, the children breathed a sigh of relief, so they spent the entire morning joyfully barbecuing.

Bai Junjun felt that this meal was definitely the most delicious food she had eaten in her two lifetimes, without a peer.

It even completely outshone Old Uncle Qiu’s roast wild boar at the Clear Pool.

Speaking of which, Bai Junjun looked at Li Wenli curiously and asked, "How did you come by these?"

What Bai Junjun was referring to were his bottles and jars filled with spices.

Li Wenli honestly replied, "Got them from Mighty Hall."

Bai Junjun’s forehead twitched, she was there that day too!

She had been so focused on handling arsenic that she neglected the kitchen’s bottles and jars!!!

This, no doubt, must have been brought to him by Smiling Face.

Bai Junjun felt she had missed out on a fortune.

Li Wenli, perhaps sensing her intense gaze, quietly placed his spice-filled bottles and jars back into his pouch.

"..." Bai Junjun.

"This forest is vast, I think there must be many treasures here, we could search for them," Li Wenli changed the subject.

After all, the people from Polar Bear Base were all robust thieves in terms of Combat Power. It was better to let her see a bigger forest than to potentially have her seize his belongings.

Li Wenli’s words indeed sparked Bai Junjun’s interest, and her eyes narrowed as she viewed the forest, a trace of fervor in her gaze.

Once everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Li Wenli lazily had Sasa dispose of the water used for scalding bird feathers, replacing it with clean water to boil anew.

Watching him start to tinker with something else, Bai Junjun couldn’t help but ask curiously, "What are you making?"

Li Wenli looked at her amusedly and said, "Let me show you what an eco-friendly candle is."

Li Wenli said this as he picked up the discarded, dark beeswax from the corner and one by one began to slowly melt it in the boiling water.

At this moment, seeing Li Wenli simmer the dark, discarded beehive, Sasa and the others curiously gathered around.

Li Wenli then had them bring all the empty jars.

Sasa, unhesitatingly, clattered down to the third floor and really brought all the empty jars down.

Li Wenli hadn’t expected Sasa to have made so many wooden boxes.

But considering the large tree’s two big rooms, he felt calm again, realizing these must have been made from the wood taken from those two rooms to form pots and pans.

The dark beeswax melted into the boiling water and soon turned into a dark mush, and once it was all melted, Li Wenli signaled Bai Junjun to use her apron as a filter cloth over the container.

Bai Junjun cooperatively set it up, and the dark solution began pouring into the basin, where the fabric filtered out most of the impurities, leaving behind a large bucket of dark brown liquid.
