Chapter 57: Carefree and Loaded

  Now, with Cai Feng as her mount and porter, Mo Yi was no longer afraid of picking too much and being unable to carry it. She was busy filling the animal skin bags. It seemed she had forgotten that these animal skin bags were originally used for storing silkworms.

  She was busy and happy until Xiao Rong and Si Meng came over. She still had her head buried in the chili pepper field, picking fiercely.

  "Mo Ye, what are you doing?" Sumula looked at Mo Ye in confusion as he put small hot peppers into a leather bag one by one. He was very puzzled. He had tried this thing before, it was so spicy that it was to die for, and his tongue would even hurt.

  "I've found the treasure! Haha, now I can make even more delicious dishes!" Mo Yier didn't even lift her head, clearly Nan Jiao was more attractive to her than Si Mula.

  "You're saying this thing." Silmala asked Mou Yier incredulously.

  Yes.

  "Moyu'er, this thing is really hard to eat." Compared to Sima La, Xiao Rongqiu is more straightforward because he's too familiar with Moyu'er, so he says whatever comes to mind without any reserve.

  "Is it bad? I think it's okay." Mo Yier finally lifted her head, turned around and glanced at them, seeing their disapproving expressions, she shrugged. "Maybe you don't like the spicy flavor, but the dish is really delicious when made."

  "Is it?" Sumala still had doubts.

  "Really. Tonight I'll make stir-fried pepper and meat strips for you to eat." Mo Yier said, thinking of many 21st-century dishes in her mind, especially the spicy Sichuan cuisine that made her mouth water just by thinking about it.

  "Alright." The two of them agreed to come over. At the same time, they were also looking forward to it. Mo Yier's cooking was much better than the women in the tribe. Food that could make her so excited must be delicious.

  The leather bag had been used for more than half a year. The small fluffy ball reminded Mo Yi'er. She only then remembered that she still needed to use the leather bag to hold silkworms.

  Several people bid farewell to this land of southern jujube, but Mo Yier carefully remembered the location of this land. There are large tracts of southern jujube here. Now she also has a mount. In the future, when there's nothing to eat, she can come and pick some.

  However, she overlooked one question. The southern pepper was actually ripe when the flowers and grass had just sprouted in spring. Next time I come, I don't know if they will still be there.

  In the late afternoon, they arrived at a place where they could find silkworms. Mo Yuer was exhausted and handed over the task of collecting silkworms to Si Mola and Xiao Rongqiu. She herself started a bonfire on the spot and began preparing dinner.

  The meat was wild boar meat that was hit last night. The weather is still cool, so after a day, it's still very fresh. Mo Yier skillfully used a stone knife to cut the meat and Sichuan pepper into shreds. Then she simmered lard from fatty pork. Started stir-frying the shredded meat. Because I didn't bring salt, so the seasoning was quite different.

  The staple food is still barbecue, which makes Mo Yi'er extremely depressed. The dishes should be eaten with rice and buns, but the green pepper stir-fry is paired with barbecue. What kind of rhythm is this?

  When the dishes were all done, Xiao Rong and Si Meng had already collected a beast skin bag of silkworms. From afar, they smelled the aroma of stir-fried vegetables. Although Nan Jiao's flavor was pungent, it was also a wonderful flavor that they had never smelled before.

  "Hey, you two come and eat first. It'll be completely dark soon. Be careful not to eat into your nose." Mo Yier said with a smile, showing off her good mood today. This was all thanks to Nan Jiao's blessing.

  "Ah, it's here." The two men rushed to Mo Yu'er's side at the fastest speed, their eyes fixed on a thin stone plate of stir-fried meat and southern peppers.

  The little furball had already seen Mo Yi use a stone slab to make food, so she wasn't surprised. But Sila was seeing it for the first time. The stone slab wasn't as good as the one Mo Yi used in the cave earlier. After all, it was just a random piece of stone they found earlier. It's fine if it can be used after washing. And yet, food could still be made from it, which broadened Sila's horizons.

  "Don't just stand there, try some!" Mo Yu'er handed them the chopsticks made from tree branches and looked at them with anticipation as they ate.

  The little fur ball first picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, then his expression became strange, it couldn't be said whether he was in pain or not. Sila saw the situation and hesitated with the chopsticks holding the eggplant and meat threads.

  "Is it hard to eat?" Mo Yi'er asked the little cotton ball in distress. Then she picked up a chopstick and put it in her mouth. Wow, this is the taste. It's really delicious. "It's too delicious, hurry up and eat."

  Mo Yu'er said, "Even if Si Mengra hesitated again, she still put it in her mouth. Then, an expression similar to Xiao Rong's appeared on her face." This made Mo Yu'er very puzzled: "Why do you have this expression? Is it very unpalatable?"

  "Still, it's fine." Sumela said tactfully. If he had been in the tribe, according to his personality, he would have thrown down his chopsticks and told that person: "This is terrible!"

  "You also think it's hard to eat." Mo Yi'er looked at him struggling and knew what he really thought in his heart. Then she turned her head to ask Xiao Rong Qiu. Xiao Rong Qiu wanted to perfunctorily deal with the situation, but seeing Mo Yi'er's serious eyes, had no choice but to tell the truth: "Although this flavor is different from before it was cooked, it's also unbearable. My tongue hurts a bit."

  "Ah, this is the spicy flavor that stimulates your tongue and increases your appetite. Maybe you're not used to eating it, but once you get used to it, you can't stop. Mo Yier understood that they hadn't eaten anything like this before, so they couldn't handle the feeling. It's just like how kids can't eat chili peppers at first, but once they try it, the flavor gets imprinted in their hearts and they fall in love with it."

  In the end, this dish of stir-fried pepper and meat strips all went into Mo Yi'er's belly. She ate with great joy.

  The next morning, Sila and Xiao Rong woke up early, put the animal skins on Mo Yi's body, and quietly went to collect silkworms without waking her up. When Mo Yi woke up, they had already filled all the animal skin bags. The goods were tied to Cai Feng's back, which was almost unable to fly. Mo Yi thought to herself, "Am I being too cruel to the peacock? It's absolutely impossible for it to carry so much." So... "Hey, you two, my Cai Feng can't carry so many things. Can you help carry a few bags?"

  "On the way back I'll carry you instead, so let him carry the things." Xiaorong immediately chimed in. This way, she could get close to Moyi'er with a clear conscience.

  "No. I'll recite 'Mo Yi Er'. You recite something else." Si Meng Zhen didn't agree, and immediately sought to gain an advantage for herself.

  "That's not possible. You've never carried Mo Yuer before. She'll be uncomfortable on your back." Xiao Rongqiu, relying on his long-time following of Mo Yuer, refused to give up this privilege to Si Mola.

  "No way. My back is definitely more comfortable than yours."

  "It's impossible... I'm going back..."
