CHAPTER 472: CHAPTER 469: BEST ACTRESS 36 - A 6,000-WORD CHAPTER

Besides the axe, salt is also essential. In the wilderness, without salt, food is utterly tasteless, and more importantly, lacking salt intake can lead to weakness and reduced physical strength.

As a result, there wasn’t much discussion needed. With these two essential items in hand, there was no opportunity to choose other things. Shuangshuang’s eyes lingered longingly on the various seasonings, a bit reluctant. If they had these seasonings, their taste buds would suffer much less in the future.

After Shuangshuang finished choosing, it was the male star group’s turn to pick items. The male star group had only one chance to choose, and everything available was packed in boxes. Without opening them, they couldn’t know if what they picked was useful or if they had drawn a bad card with a rock.

Lin Xichen was chosen by the male star group as the one to try his luck, and it turned out his luck was quite good. He actually picked a large barrel of peanut oil! And it wasn’t a small one-pound barrel, but at least four pounds!

This luck was incredible. Shuangshuang watched with immense envy. She had been eyeing that oil for a long time, and if she had one more chance, she would’ve definitely picked that oil next. She didn’t expect the male star group to snag it.

Oil is an essential item for cooking delicious food, and they managed to grab a big barrel. If used sparingly, it could last for half a month easily.

Yu Yingjie saw Shuangshuang couldn’t take her eyes off the oil barrel and couldn’t help but shake his head with amusement. Shuangshuang had always presented herself with composure and grace, and it was rare to see her show such a childlike expression.

Yu Yingjie emptied one of the bottles of mineral water given by the show today. This place was near a river, and the river water was particularly clean, with spring water nearby that could be drunk directly, so they didn’t lack water. Yu Yingjie, without any hesitation, poured out the mineral water, then took the empty bottle and half a bag of salt, along with four fish, to trade with the male star group for a bottle of peanut oil.

Shuangshuang watched as Yu Yingjie brought back the oil, catching his teasing gaze. Her face turned slightly red, knowing her gaze earlier was a bit too blatant. She coughed awkwardly and pulled Yun Chuching to walk towards the camping area.

Yu Yingjie didn’t say anything, just exchanged a smile with Qi Qing, and followed Shuangshuang and Yun Chuching back. They still had to eat in the evening.

Viewers of the live broadcast commented, "Oh my, Brother Ning has a foodie side too! The way Brother Ning eyed that oil, I almost thought Brother Ning was going to grab it!"

"What should I do? Brother Ning suddenly isn’t perfect anymore, but I like him even more now. Foodie Brother Ning is so adorable!"

"Hahaha, suddenly realizing Brother Ning is one of us foodies from the great foodie nation. Oh my, it suddenly feels so endearing!"

As the viewers dubbed her a foodie, Shuangshuang discussed with Yu Yingjie how to cook the fish while walking back. In Shuangshuang’s opinion, fish without seasoning would definitely taste fishy, so she thought of going out to find some wild seasonings.

It has to be said that this season is a good time. The resources in Da Shan are rich, with wild onions, wild ginger, wild peppers, wild Sichuan peppercorns, and wild star anise, along with various wild vegetables. It just depends on whether you recognize them and have the luck to find them.

Speaking of finding wild vegetables and seasonings, Yun Chuching suddenly remembered something and turned to Shuangshuang excitedly, "I know there’s a cluster of wild peppers. I saw it when I was breaking dry branches from a tree earlier. At that time, I thought I’d gather enough firewood first and then pick them, but I forgot when I got back. If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have remembered."

"How many wild peppers did you see?" Shuangshuang’s eyes lit up as soon as Yun Chuching mentioned she saw wild peppers. As someone who loves spicy food, peppers are a must-have for every meal.

Yun Chuching was startled by Shuangshuang’s enthusiasm, then recalled and said, "There are quite a few plants, and there are a lot of peppers on them."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s go!" Shuangshuang laughed, pulled Yun Chuching, and started to run. Yu Yingjie and Qi Qing, walking in front, exchanged a smile as they watched Shuangshuang pull Yun Chuching excitedly and ran after them.

The viewers watching...

"Our handsome and reliable Brother Ning is becoming more chaotic. How can you be so excited over a bunch of peppers? This doesn’t match your stable and reliable persona, Brother Ning! Change back!"
