Seeing that Su Qing had come ashore, Li Daniu excitedly ran over with the pink Pearl and presented it to Su Qing like he was presenting a treasure.

“Alright,” she said.

Su Qing did not reject it but accepted it. Li Daniu saw that Su Qing had taken it and happily returned to continue breaking the mussels.

Su Qing walked over to check the basin of pearls. There were many tiny pearls and some that were not round. There were not many that were round and full. She asked Xiaoying and Li Shuang’er to pick out the round and full pearls.

The remaining pearls that could not be made into jewelry were ground into pearl powder. The wind and sun had seriously damaged the girls’ skin. With pearl powder, everyone wore a facial mask and gave their faces a spa.

Xiao Qi was like a bug in Su Qing’s stomach. Without Su Qing’s instructions, she checked the clam’s cooking method.

“Master, here’s the recipe.”

Su Qing had just walked over to check on the clam meat when little Xiao Qi’s adorable voice rang out. She looked like she was begging for praise, her big eyes looking at her Master eagerly.

“Not bad.”

Su Qing saw Xiao Qi’s eagerness to be praised in the system, and a faint smile appeared on her lips. She said two words calmly, and Xiao Qi was already so beautiful that she started dancing like a swan. However, she was a short and fat swan that couldn’t fly.

“There’s a wild boar.”

When Ji Shuisheng saw that Su Qing was about to cook, he smiled and told her that their appearances were different, but their eyes would not change. He liked to look at her eyes, which were firm, bold, and extremely clear.

“Okay, sure.”

Su Qing nodded. The problem now was that the team had run out of salt. However, there was still salt in the system. It was just that they could not waste it by marinating pork.

There was no place to buy supplies on this road. The salt in her system was limited; the more she used, the less she would have.

There were four dishes in the clam recipe that Xiao Qi gave to Su Qing. They were stir-fried clam meat. The clam meat had to be marinated with chili. The stir-frying had to be fast to make the clam meat crisp and tender. It would not be chewed after a long time.

Braised River clam. The texture is crisp, and the taste is spicy. Add some boiling water into the pot, boil it over a high fire for 20 seconds, and take it out and control the water. Add the raw materials and stir-fry them for 0.5 minutes, then add the cut seasoning.

Next was to make clam soup. The clam meat was fresh, so it didn’t need the added chicken essence. It was light in taste, and the soup was fresh.

The last dish was to stir-fry the fragrant and spicy river clam and then slice the clean clam meat and the skirt. She cut the clean clam meat and the edge of the dress.

After boiling a pot of water, she added a little cooking wine and put in the clam meat to let it simmer for ten seconds. She quickly took it out and washed it thoroughly under the flowing water. Then, she added some spices and stir-fried them. However, she needed to use chili, green garlic seedlings, and shredded ginger.

Su Qing looked through the menu and made stir-fried clam meat and clam soup.

She asked the ladies to find wild scallions, ginger, and garlic while Su Qing used the knife for the clam meat.

The hand used to hold a killing knife was holding a vegetable knife. The clam meat was cut as if measured with a ruler, and the length and thickness were almost the same.

Su Qing loved the feeling of cooking. She enjoyed it. Cooking made her body and mind happy. When she made delicious food, everyone would be satisfied. She would feel a sense of accomplishment.

Most importantly, she had to level up today.

It had been a few days since she had leveled up, and she didn’t even have half her previous life’s abilities. This was unbearable for her.

Ji Shuisheng was using a machete to deal with the wild boar. It was simply a waste of a sledgehammer to crack a nut using a killer machete to cut pork.

One basin of pig blood, one basin of pig’s water. Zhong Yong carried a basin and caught it from below. The pig slaughtering smell was unpleasant and disgusting, but Zhong Yong was still drooling.

Su Qing’s meat was delicious!

Su Qing saw that Ji Shuisheng had finished unloading the wild boar, so she first went over to stew the pork in the pot. She added wild scallions and wild ginger to remove the foul smell, then boiled it over a large fire and let it stew slowly over a small fire. Aunt Qiu and Aunt Li were in charge of watching the fire.

Su Qing continued to cut her clam meat. The second pot was already hot, so she filled it with water to cook the clam meat. When there were no chilies, Su Qing returned to the carriage with a dozen hongchuan chilies.

When the clam was stir-fried, even Qin Feng, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies before and was not interested in anything, was caught by the taste. Stir-frying the clam meat with red chili was terrific.

“Uncle Su, I’ll get you some more.”

Xiaoying laughed as she scooped a spoonful of river clam meat for Qin Feng. He was Su Qing’s father. She had to help her sister take good care of him.

Since Qin Feng joined the team, Xiaoying has cared for him well.

Qin Feng looked at Xiaoying kindly. His granddaughter looked precisely the same as Ling’er and was as kind as her. It was hard for them not to be able to recognize each other, but they could still spend time together every day. This happiness of family made the old man’s heart warm.

Ji Shuisheng’s brows twitched when he heard his sister calling him uncle. He could not bear to listen to it anymore. He was not only one generation lower than Su Qing but also one generation lower than his sister. What was this?

He might as well stay away from her. If he couldn’t hear her, this problem wouldn’t bother him.

Su Qing was also delighted with her cooking skills. She especially liked eating stir-fried, fresh, spicy, crisp, and fragrant clams. She wanted to give Xiao Qi a bowl so that she could taste her cooking.

Xiao Qi was already drooling, and when she heard her Master’s Voice, she immediately flattered, “Master, be good to Xiao Qi! Thank you, Master. The dishes you made arc delicious.”

Su Qing’s lips curled up. She hadn’t even taken a bite and had already said it was delicious. This little fellow was only good at sucking up.

Su Qing gave Xiao Qi a bowl of clam soup and another bowl of clam meat.

Fatty Xiao Qi opened her mouth and started eating. She wasn’t like those stupid people who would abuse their stomachs to lose weight. Being fat was good; being fat was a blessing.

More than a hundred people, without any main food, only ate pork and clam meat and drank the delicious soup. This meal was full and highly satisfying.

This was the best meal they had ever had since they changed their route. Qiu Yongkang went to check the supplies on the trucks.

He was very meticulous. The salt had been used up three days ago, but today’s clam and pork were delicious. They had no salt. Did Su Qing contribute her salt?

“Congratulations, host. Your cooking skills have reached level seven. Your physical strength, combat power, mental strength, and warlord power have all reached level 31. Please continue to work hard, host. You are the best.”

The system’s voice rang in Su Qing’s ears. This time, it even encouraged her, adding a touch of humanity.

“Is there a reward?”

Su Qing asked the system for a reward, mainly because the system was too stingy. It wouldn’t give it if she didn’t ask for a reward.

“Yes, the reward is 300 pounds of soybeans. Host, please go and find it yourself.”

The system had been pinched by the nose for a reward, creating a minor problem for Su Qing. If she wanted a reward, she could find it herself.

The stingy system was not happy!

Su Qing didn’t care if the system was happy or not. Soybeans were good stuff. After frying them, she would bring them along to eat. It would solve the problem of not having enough food.

It could also make tofu, dried tofu, and soy milk. The tofu dregs on the road of escape were also good and could fill one’s stomach.

There was also the soy sauce recipe given to her by the system. As long as she had soybeans, she could make soy sauce. She had finally taken a step forward in becoming a soy sauce merchant.

Su Qing stood up and shouted to the girls,

“Let’s go and see if there’s anything to eat?”
