Chapter 46 Worry
Stewing soup couldn't keep up with the speed of grilling, and Li Baizhou's eyes couldn't catch Mei Qian's eating speed.

The water duck wrapped in reed leaves and yellow mud and roasted was juicy and tender, and Li Baizhou wanted to try it when he saw the "golden legend".

As a result, when he was pouring the fish, Mei Qian even toppled the bones.

Li Baizhou: "..."

Is this not hot at all?
What Mei Qian said and did always refreshed Li Baizhou's understanding.

Seeing Li Baizhou's unclear gaze, Mei Qian asked directly: "What are you looking at?"

"No, you ate the roast duck too fast."

Mei Qian: "..."

She wanted to eat it, after all, Li Baizhou's craftsmanship was really good and Mei Qian was really greedy.

But when she looked at the backstage, the #伟香roast duck# he sent up showed that the redemption was successful. It was still four bottles of nutrient solution, and her regret that she couldn't eat it was gone.

Moreover, after Mei Qian refused to accept the lemon-flavored and coriander-flavored nutrient solutions, the taste of the nutrient solution this time was finally the white peach flavor that Mei Qian could accept and thought it should be delicious.

Ah ~
She was in a good mood. Although it was difficult to explain Li Baizhou's questions, she was not annoyed. She just said: "I am tired from working during the day, and I eat quickly when I am hungry."

"Would you like to eat these duck soup noodles later?"

"why do not you eat?"

Mei Qian looked like she had a big appetite, and Li Baizhou didn't say much. Mei Qian handed him a handful of tender wild vegetable hearts that she had just sorted out, and said, "You can use these with the extra soup later." Blanch it, and it’ll be a dish after all.”

"It's quite a feast tonight, with rice and vegetables."

"What? Don't you want to eat?"

"eat!"

Li Baizhou always felt that his appetite had become much smaller since he took the boat with Mei Qian's family. He didn't know if this was a good sign.

If he could eat more, he thought it would be better to eat more.

"I saw you talking a lot in the cabin just now. Did something happen?"

"No, it's Cui'er that I brought back. She seems to have some medical skills, and she's checking their pulses for my mother and I. They say they are all in good health."

"That's a good thing."

"Yes~" Mei Qian nodded repeatedly, feeding her nutrient solution, compressed biscuits, and other elf dew in vain.

"But Cui'er was very surprised, saying that they were all escaping along the way. How could they be in such good condition when they lacked food and drink?"

Mei Qian couldn't help but snicker when she thought of Cui'er's appearance. Smiling, she raised her head and met Li Baizhou's confused expression.

Mei Qian heard him say, "Actually, I'm also confused."

"Hmph~ I heard an old traveling doctor say that people will be different when they encounter disasters."

Mei Qian felt a toothache when she saw Li Baizhou lowered his eyes and thought deeply.

So, she disrupted Li Baizhou's thoughts and suddenly asked: "You said that there are so many water bandits, staring at different ships in different areas. Even if we get rid of the water bandits who were eyeing us in the first place, then Will we meet again later?"

Li Baizhou was really troubled by Mei Qian's question.

"Although there is only one main trunk of the canal, there are many tributaries flowing into the canal. These water bandits may really be possible..."

After Li Baizhou finished speaking, Mei Qian was speechless.

The two of them are talking about nothing. If one of them can't ask a question well, the other can't answer it well.

Now I don’t need to explain why eating less is better for good health, but I still feel bad.

"Forget it, let's eat first, and then we can talk about this after eating." Seeing the annoyance in Mei Qian's eyes, Li Baizhou comforted Mei Qian with a softened voice, "Only when you are full can you have the energy to think about the next thing."

With that said, Li Baizhou opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma of duck meat that hit her face immediately captured all of Mei Qian's attention.

The smell quickly drifted into the house through the crack in the cabin door, which was not tight.

Mei Qian and Li Baizhou had just put out the fire on the stove and turned around while holding a large pot of duck meat and wild vegetable noodles. They saw a large family member staring at them with glowing green eyes.

Mei Qian: "..." Li Baizhou: "..."

"Hoo-hot!"

Sitting on the bow of the boat, Mei Shitou and Mei Erhu were eating hot water duck noodles while taking a short break.

There is enough water today, one bowl for each person.

Mei Qian divided half of the bowl and uploaded most of the wild vegetables into the space.

A bowl of #水野clear vegetable and meat soup# was immediately exchanged successfully.

Mei Qian held the bowl and looked up as if in a daze to see clearly the exchange object. This time, the apocalyptic exchanger was very fast, but the exchange object was quite new.

[Xiaomei, what do these five-spice salt and pepper compressed biscuits (specially made) mean? 】

[Didn’t you mention in private messages earlier that you were lacking seasoning? Because of the platform's regulations, condiments cannot be uploaded as delicacies, so she asked someone to take advantage of the loophole and make this. 】

Mei Qian heard that as an exchange system, she said to herself that it was so calm when others took advantage of its loopholes. Mei Qian also praised: [Xiaomei, you are so calm when you say this~]

[I just read the private message the other party sent you. 】

Mei Qian:???

Only then did Mei Qian see the private message sent by the apocalyptic exchanger after receiving the bowl of wild vegetables in broth.

Just like Xiaomei said, the other party originally wanted to upload the condiments directly, but unfortunately the system did not recognize it as a delicacy, so she found a chef friend she knew to combine it with compressed biscuits.

In this regard, her friend also complained that she was too heavy-handed and put so many seasonings in it.

After reading the private message, Mei Qian gained a new understanding of the low threshold of food trading platforms.

Mei Qian silently put these two packets of special "seasoning powder" into the system space. This stuff cannot be mixed directly into the flour.

Otherwise, the flour would smell too much. Could Mei Qian explain that her flour was moldy and fermented?

This fermented beef is so flavorful~
"This girl, why did you lose your mind after eating half of your meal?"

Thinking about the system, Mei Qian's pause in eating was obviously very obvious among the whole family.

Mei Qian was brought back to her senses by her milk, she laughed dryly and continued to eat with her head down.

After dinner, I don’t know how long it had been since I had a warm meal of Cui Er. After finishing this meal, I immediately packed up the dishes and chopsticks with quick eyes and quick hands and went to the bow of the boat to wash the dishes.

Looking at her sharp eyesight and the neatness of her work, Mrs. Mei looked at her kindly.

While Cui'er was washing the dishes, Mr. Han looked at her several times, then turned around and whispered to Mr. Jiang, "This girl's face is just a bit ugly. It's a pity."

Regarding Han's words, Jiang just shook his head and did not respond.

In this world, it is not a good thing for an orphan girl to be too beautiful.

"By the way, grandma, I heard from Li Baizhou that this canal has many tributaries!"

"That's for sure, otherwise how do you think we entered the canal?"

Mrs. Mei glanced at Mei Qian, wondering if this girl's mind was suddenly stuck, and she kept saying such unnecessary words.

"No, I was thinking that there are so many water bandits, so they definitely don't get together.

Cui'er also said before that they should keep an eye on the ship separately. If they were guarded upstream and downstream like this, then if the upstream succeeded, wouldn't the downstream not be able to drink the soup?

Do you think they might be lying in wait in other tributaries, watching ships coming in other directions? "

"Oh, that's the truth!" Mrs. Mei nodded after hearing this. She looked at Mei Qian and asked, "Do you think the probability of those water bandits chasing us is very small?"

"Well, rather than pursuing them, I'm more worried about not being able to protect them all on the way back and encountering ships that have been robbed by other water bandits. What will we do if we encounter them then?"

 Mrs. Mei: My unlucky granddaughter thinks about bad things all day long.

  Mei Qian: If I didn’t want it to happen, would it have happened?
