The Female Lead Has No Cheats-Chapter 217: Lin Yueqi’s Snake Soup(4)
By this time, the sun had completely sunken into the clouds, and the sky was dark. She took out a flashlight from her pocket, handed it to Lu Ting, and instructed, “When you see my signal, turn on the flashlight and aim it at its eyes, then I’ll catch it.”
Lu Ting: …
“Be careful,” he said helplessly.
“Mhm.”
Lu Ting followed her instructions and aimed the light at the snake, which immediately recoiled back. Lin Yueqi took advantage of the opportunity and immediately grabbed its tail, immobilized it, and swiftly held down its head.
The execution was so neat and skillful that the snake was subdued before Lu Ting could react.
The girl pinches the snake’s tail in one hand and the snake’s head in the other, which makes the snake lose its resistance ability completely.
When she returned to the camp with the snake in hand, the men were all stunned.
Zhou Qing’s face turned white with fright. “Holy sh*t, Sister Qi, what are you doing? Don’t tell me we’re eating this tonight?”
He never would’ve expected such a soft and delicate-looking girl like her to catch a snake with her bare hands.
Lin Yueqi took the remaining arrowheads, nailed the snake’s head down, and started to skin it while responding, “Yes, I’m making snake soup for dinner.”
There was no hesitation in her movements.
Leita’s face flushed with agitation. “Oh, my God! Are you Chinese people demons? How could you eat a snake? “
The men silently looked at Lin Yueqi.
At the moment, Lu Ting’s mood was also very complicated, and his expression was quite dark.
He’d realized that Lin Yueqi was much more valiant than he’d expected, and his days of living a life of status would come to an end after they got married. He would probably have the lowest standing in their family.
Leita was also stunned. This was his first time seeing such a tough woman. He carefully thought back to everything Lin Yueqi had done over the past two days and felt that she didn’t seem like a female Chinese celebrity at all. He’d heard that the Chinese liked very slim women, but Lin Yueqi wasn’t skinny at all.
He couldn’t help but elbow Lu Ting and ask in a low whisper, “Bro, what did your woman do before? She doesn’t seem like a celebrity at all.”
Lu Ting responded, his face completely serious, “Criminal.”
After seeing his expression, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but add, “Yeah, she would be the type to kill without batting an eye.”
Leita: … The way he looked at Lin Yueqi became more and more complicated.
The small iron pot soon heated up and turned red over the fire.
Lin Yueqi took out a glass jar from her backpack and twisted it open. She spooned out a small amount of lard oil and added it to the pot. Then, she tossed the snake meat together with some peppercorn. When an aroma wafted out, she added water and brought it to a boil, producing a milky white soup.
Although it looked a little worse than the chicken soup optimized by Li Murou’s food system, both the color and aroma of the snake soup gave everyone a very authentic feeling.
They missed Li Muruo’s cooking, but right now, they were starving and didn’t mind eating Lin Yueqi’s food one bit.
About half an hour later, the snake soup was ready.
Leita was so hungry that he could hardly wait to have something fill his stomach again, so he didn’t refuse Lin Yueqi’s soup. He planned to only drink the soup and avoid eating the snake meat entirely.
Before, he had only heard about how cruel the Chinese were.
Snakes, insects, rats… they would eat anything that could fly in the sky or run on the ground. Today, he truly understood what it meant to be a Chinese who could “eat anything.”
Li Murou also had a taste of the snake soup. As the flavor spread across her tongue, she quickly became more and more unsettled. Although Lin Yueqi wasn’t a professional chef, her culinary skills were solid. The snake soup tasted excellent.
And sure enough, the foreign mercenaries were full of praise for Lin Yueqi’s food. Even Leita, who’d always had a bad attitude toward Lin Yueqi, was praising her excitedly, “This is delicious!
Only
Lin Yueqi, who was also holding a bowl in hand, deliberately inhaled some of the steam and then said with a very nasally voice, “I, Leita, would rather jump into a fire and burn to death than eat a single bite of your food.”
Leita: …
Lu Ting: …
This woman really knew how to hold a grudge.
