Chapter 156 Don't even think about it
From the moment the arrow was removed until they moved to a new nest, Xiao Qing did not struggle at all, which made Lin Cai very satisfied.
She placed Xiaoqing in the newly prepared nest, then called Da Hui over: "Da Hui, this is our new family member, Xiaoqing. From now on, she'll be your partner, understand?"
Big Gray barked twice, and Lin Cai looked at it seriously: "Now that Xiao Qing is injured, you are responsible for protecting Xiao Qing. You can't let anyone or any animal hurt Xiao Qing. Big Gray, can you do that?"
Upon hearing this, Big Grey barked twice more, its barking sound indistinguishable from a dog's bark.
Lin Bao watched the man and the wolf, his expression truly indescribable. He couldn't understand why a perfectly normal wolf would bark like a dog.
Even if he was raised by my side since he was a cub, he is still a wolf, how could he possibly bark like a dog?
Scarface frowned as he saw this. He knew what was going on, but he hadn't expected that person to be so skilled, managing to train a wolf like a dog.
I had heard that he was very capable before, but I had never met him. Now that I have seen him, I realize that what they said was completely wrong.
Because the real thing is far more powerful than they say. They can train wolves to be like dogs, so what do those things they're talking about matter to them?
After explaining everything, Lin Cai went to get the honey. There was also a fish in the basin, which was left over from making several salted fish.
That fish is really brave; it's been in the basin for so long and it hasn't died yet. If it were without oxygen now, it would have died in two days at most.
Lin's mother put all the honey that Scarface brought back into a wooden basin, and Lin Cai took the basin out.
He took the two pieces of honey out of the basket and put them in a wooden basin.
Then they prepared a cloth, put all the honey in it, and had Lin's mother bring a large jar.
Unfortunately, there were no glass bottles available here, not even plastic bottles, so she had to use jars to store the honey.
The honey, wrapped in cloth, was lifted to the top of the jar and aimed at the opening. The honey seeped through the cloth and flowed directly into the jar from the top opening.
Scarface brought back larger honey, while Lin Cai brought back smaller honey, but together they still filled half a jar.
When Lin Bao saw the half-jar of honey, his mouth watered. Lin Cai then gave him the honeycomb wrapped in a cloth.
Having obtained the beehive, Lin Bao didn't mind at all and started eating it with Sanhu and Xiaochunhua.
Lin Cai looked at the tempting honey and looked up at her mother with pleading eyes. Just as her mother was about to put the lid on, she met her daughter's gaze and knew that something was wrong.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Just say what you want to say, and I'll agree if it's okay."
"Mom, I've taken a liking to the chickens you raise, I wonder if that's alright..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lin's mother interrupted her: "Lin Cai!! Are you trying to squander money again?"
"That chicken is for laying eggs, and you want to eat it now? You greedy girl, how come you're even more greedy than a pregnant woman?"
"Mother, food is the most important thing for people. I just like to eat, there's nothing wrong with that!"
"Besides, whether it's a chicken or an egg, it's for eating. So what difference does it make whether we eat the chicken or the egg?"
"That's nonsense. I think you're just a greedy girl who wants to eat my chicken, that's why you're spouting all sorts of nonsense."
"I'm telling you, no way. Chickens are kept to lay eggs, it's not time to eat them yet, don't even think about it."
Lin's mother disagreed, and Lin Cai couldn't just kill the chicken, so she had to give up the idea of making roast chicken.
She set her sights on the fish in the basin and ended up making a simple version of grilled fish.
The grilled fish was seasoned with chili and honey, giving it a sweet and spicy flavor that was really delicious.
When Lin Bao tasted it, he felt almost dizzy from the delicious aroma.
He had never tasted anything so amazing before.
He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, but it was so hot that he grimaced.
"Hey kid, can't you slow down a bit? Nobody's going to take it from you."
Lin's mother rolled her eyes at Lin Bao and couldn't bear to look at him anymore. Although the Lin family raised their sons in poverty, they had never let them go hungry from childhood to adulthood.
Except for the period when they were fleeing famine, weren't they able to have enough to eat?
How did it end up like this?!
Lin's father's expression was also not very good. He also looked down on his son. All he did was eat.
Can't we just wait?
He put it in his mouth even though it was so hot, and he couldn't bear to spit it out even when it was scalding and blistered. It must have been hundreds of years since he had eaten it to be so reluctant to spit it out.
As for the others, they couldn't bear to see Lin Bao get burned, so they couldn't help but laugh. When they went to pick up fish themselves, they only took small pieces.
They didn't want to end up like Lin Bao, who scalded his mouth by stuffing a huge piece into it.
Lin Cai tasted her own cooking and her eyes almost closed. Sure enough, food made with all-natural ingredients tasted delicious.
She had made it before, and the steps and techniques were the same, but the taste was completely different from what she had just made.
The plate of grilled fish was quickly devoured, and even the other wild vegetables and side dishes were not left uneaten.
The rice that Lin's mother and Huani made was all eaten tonight; not a single grain was left.
With his stomach full, Lin Bao didn't want to move at all. He slumped in his chair and looked at Lin Cai beside him.
"Little sister, how did you come up with this idea? How can you cook fish so well? Let me tell you, with your skills, if you opened a restaurant, it would be packed every day."
"Then, Third Brother, where do you think I should open a restaurant?"
"Of course we should go to places with lots of people!" Lin Bao still didn't understand what Lin Cai was saying, so he went along with it: "A restaurant needs customers to do good business. Your food is delicious, needless to say, we just need more people."
"In that case, let's go to a crowded place. Once one person eats it, word will spread and then we'll have business."
Lin Cai nodded upon hearing this, and then asked, "So, Third Brother, where do you think the restaurant should be located? Which area has the most people?"
"Of course, Longjing has the most people. The people there are the richest. No matter what business you do there, you'll make money."
Upon hearing this, Lin Cai fell into deep thought. Longjing?
She needs to think it over carefully and make proper preparations.
Gu Zhan, who was standing nearby, frowned when he heard the siblings' conversation. He really wanted to say that there was no need to go to that place to open a shop.
After all, places with lots of rich people tend to have more trouble. If you don't like trouble, it's best to stay away from those places.
But the brother and sister were both a little excited, so he didn't say anything.
