Chapter 13 Grain-free Cake (2)
Fang Lu didn't respond. After a long time, when Qin Zheng thought that Fang Lu would never answer, he slowly said, "Maybe."

On the second day, Qin Zheng stopped rushing. She knew that the previous batches of fleeing famine had eaten all they could eat. If she didn't find something to satisfy her hunger, she would soon starve to death.Holding a rusty shovel she got from no one knows where, she led Fang Lu and ran into the thorny field to catch locusts and dig grass roots.

Fang Lu was already so hungry that his head was on his head, but he moved quite nimbly, and caught some locusts in a short while.Qin Zheng was very satisfied with this. She touched the bag, thinking about whether she could give Fang Lu some extra wages in the future.This person really ate less than her and worked more than her.

At this moment, Fang Lu suddenly pulled her aside, and the two of them fell down together.

Qin Zheng entered without knowing, but Fang Lu lowered his voice and said, "Be careful, there are snakes!"

Sure enough, a long snake with its tongue sticking out slid quickly through the thorn bushes.

Seeing this, Qin Zheng's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "Catch it!"

Fang Lu received this order, and his body leaped out like flying, and he was able to pinch his fingers to move towards the snake. After a while, Qin Zheng looked intently, but saw the bony Fang Lu standing there, holding the snake in his hands. seven inches.

Qin Zheng walked over and observed the snake left and right.

Fang Lu looked into Qin Zheng's eyes and suddenly understood: "Do you want to eat it?"

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Why, can't it?"

In Dayan Kingdom, there has never been a tradition of eating snakes.

However, isn’t there a tradition of eating Juegen and locusts in the past?
Fang Lu nodded and said, "Good idea."

He paused, and then said: "In fact, in Xiye, people there have the custom of eating snakes."

Qin Zheng was staring at the snake at this time, as if he was staring at a big meal, and said with satisfaction: "Tonight, we will eat fat snake stewed with locusts, served with a few wild vegetables."

It sounds like a delicious dish.

In the evening, Qin Zheng and Fang Lu picked an inaccessible place and started cooking this rare and delicious meal.It was too late for the locusts to dry, so they could only remove their wings and pick out their internal organs. The wild vegetables were washed, and the snakes were peeled and turned into several pieces and put into the pot.Qin Zheng took out a few weeds he picked up from nowhere, and they were still in the pot.

When everything was properly prepared, Fang Lu had already started a fire and made a support out of tree trunks. At that moment, Qin Zheng put the pot on the support, filled it with water, and started to cook.

Qin Zheng took a nap to rest on the sidelines, while Fang Lu continued to add fuel and hay to the fire.

Just when Fang Lu thought that Qin Zheng had fallen asleep, Qin Zheng suddenly said, "You are good at lighting fires."

Fang Lu said calmly: "Before going out, sometimes it was unavoidable." It's just that this kind of thing is usually done by others, not his turn.

After hearing this, Qin Zheng didn't say anything, and didn't ask any more questions.Although she knew that ordinary men in Dayan did not need to light fires, most ordinary people in Dayan Kingdom would not know the customs of Xiye.
