Chapter 9 Xiao Ye's Astonishment

However, his face fell instantly when he heard the next sentence.

"I'll bring it to you to eat after I've finished cooking."

These are clearly his eggs, why should Luan Ting eat them?

Unfortunately, it's a bit embarrassing to go out and steal eggs now.

Xiao Ye thought for a moment, a strange smile appeared on his lips, and he left the scene.

Among Xiao Ye's supernatural abilities, one is the ability to track without a trace.

Once he activated this ability, he could become invisible. Therefore, Luan Ting and Su Luoluo were completely unaware that Xiao Ye was hiding to the side listening to their conversation, and even less aware that he had already left.

After listening, Luan Ting declined calmly, saying, "No need."

After saying that, he took out some salt from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "This is all I have. See if it's enough."

Instead of taking salt from the kitchen, he gave Su Luoluo the salt he was carrying.

When they go out hunting, they sometimes can't make it back for a meal, so they eat whatever they can find on the spot.

He usually cooks his own meals while hunting, so he always carries some salt with him—not a lot, but enough to cook a meal.

Unlike other game and handicrafts, salt cannot be obtained through one's own labor.

It was sold by nobles in the city-state, and to obtain it, one had to capture a large number of prey each time.

Su Luoluo knew that salt was a luxury in this primitive society, and Luan Ting was already very generous to give her some.

Although it looks like there are only three spoonfuls.

The salt was packaged in small, cleaned pieces of animal hide, which served to keep it dry.

The quantity was small, and all of it was stored in animal hides, showing that Luan Ting took great care in protecting it.

Su Luoluo took the salt packet and nodded. "That's enough. I'll fry an egg for you."

Oil was still boiling on the stove. After taking the salt packet, Su Luoluo hurriedly went to the stove.

Be careful not to burn the castor beans, otherwise the oil will be unusable.

When Xiao Ye returned, he stared at the stove. Although he didn't know what Su Luoluo was doing with it, seeing how much effort she had put into it, he knew that it must be useful.

As long as he controls the stove, it's no wonder Su Luoluo won't obediently hand over the eggs.

But what exactly is she doing?
It smells quite nice, and Xiao Ye couldn't help but sniff it a few more times.

When Su Luoluo rushed over, she saw Xiao Ye squatting in front of the stove, staring straight at it, as if he was looking at something.

Su Luoluo held her breath, afraid that he might "accidentally" ruin the oil she had worked so hard to fry.

She could only slow her pace and walk forward, forcing a smile as she asked, "What are you doing here?"

Hearing Su Luoluo's nervous voice, Xiao Ye raised an eyebrow and held out his hand. "If you want this thing to stay safe, hand over the duck egg!"

How can I hand over the egg that I finally got?

Su Luoluo pretended to be clueless and stared at Xiao Ye, "Egg? What egg?"

Xiao Ye crossed his arms and glanced at her sideways, a half-smile on his face. "Do I need to remind you? You took six eggs from the reeds."

How did he know there were six eggs in the reeds?

Could it be that he was stalking her?
Seeing her suspicious look, Xiao Ye scoffed, "I'm not that bored. I had my eye on that egg yesterday. I was planning to make it for breakfast, but who knew you took it away."

Su Luoluo, who had been obedient but still somewhat dazed, burst out laughing when she heard Xiao Ye say that the egg was hers. "Your egg? You're so shameless! This egg has your name on it?"

“If you hadn’t interfered, this egg would be mine. How can it not be mine?” Xiao Ye refused to back down.

"Me, meddling? In the wild, everything is about who gets what they want. I got there first, so of course it's mine. What do you mean by your egg?" "You got there first? If it's about first come, first served, I saw that yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo chuckled, "What's the use of seeing it yesterday? I could have said I saw it the day before yesterday."

Seeing that Su Luoluo wouldn't back down, Xiao Ye didn't waste any more words arguing with her. "I don't care what you think. If you want to keep this thing, give the egg back to me."

Su Luoluo had initially been in the lead, but when she saw Xiao Ye about to pour out the oil, her expression changed instantly. She smiled and said, "Let's discuss this properly, don't just kill it off."

Xiao Ye snorted, "There's nothing to say to you, just hand over the egg!"

"Two?" Su Luoluo tried to negotiate.

Xiao Ye snorted, "Six."

"Six? You didn't leave me a single one." Su Luoluo was somewhat unable to accept it.

Xiao Ye naturally refused to give up any of them; in his view, these things were rightfully his.

That's just how domineering snakes are.

Seeing that a direct confrontation wouldn't work, Su Luoluo twitched her eyes and took a step back. "How about this? You don't need to pour out the oil. I'll make six fried eggs, and we can eat them together."

"A fried egg? Can it even taste good?"

Xiao Ye had just overheard Su Luoluo and Luan Ting's conversation, so he had some understanding of what a fried egg was.

I just don't know if this stuff is really tasty, especially since it was made by Su Luoluo.
Su Luoluo nodded. "Of course."

Seeing that Xiao Ye was somewhat skeptical, she patted her chest and said, "If you don't believe me, I can make two for you to try first."

As she spoke, she took out the salt she had received from Luan Ting: "I still have salt here, it will definitely taste good if you put it in."

Xiao Ye was initially hesitant, but when he saw Su Luoluo take out all the salt, he became somewhat skeptical.

Salt is a wonderful thing; it can give food a completely different flavor.

He thought for a moment and reluctantly agreed, "Alright then! Only two can be made."

Su Luoluo nodded, walked to the stove, picked up another piece of bamboo tube that she had just chopped into the ground, and washed it by the river.

Once it's placed on the stove, wait for the water in the bamboo tube to boil dry before adding the oil.

The castor oil was well-refined, turning a yellowish color. She used a stick to push the black shavings aside, then poured it into the dried bamboo tube.

Once the oil was sizzling from the fire, she cracked a duck egg into a bamboo tube, added some salt, stirred it well, and poured it into the "pot".

As the fire heated up, the duck eggs emitted a fragrant aroma, and the eggs inside the bamboo tube turned a golden yellow, looking very appetizing.

Seeing this, Xiao Ye was somewhat surprised, not expecting Su Luoluo to do such a thing.

When the duck eggs were golden brown on both sides, Su Luoluo tore off two sticks and handed them over, "Try it!"

Without much hesitation, Xiao Ye picked up the duck egg, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.

When the aroma of eggs spread through his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't resist taking a second bite.

Seeing that he was too busy to pay attention to her, Su Luoluo quickly cracked the remaining duck eggs, put them into a bamboo tube, added salt, stirred them well, and then poured them all into the oil.

By the time Xiao Ye realized what was happening, Su Luoluo had already fried all the remaining duck eggs.

He reached out the wooden stick in his hand to pick up the duck eggs, but Su Luoluo quickly scooped them up and covered them with a bamboo tube. "The two duck eggs are already done, these are mine."

After saying that, she put the duck egg into her mouth.

Xiao Ye: "..."
