Chapter 8 Turning waste into treasure
When Wen Nanxi met Su Muyao's eyes, she thought those eyes were so beautiful and lively.

When she smiled, her eyes curved like they held a pool of moonlight, clear and pure.

Exquisite and delicate, it's like layers of sunlight spreading out, easily shining into people's hearts.

Wen Nanxi's eyes flickered slightly, and a gentle expression appeared on her refined and elegant face. "Okay."

After he sat down, Su Muyao handed him chopsticks and a spoon.

Only then did she begin to eat.

Su Muyao ate the fish noodles with chopsticks, one bite at a time, slowly and quietly.

She was very focused during the meal and didn't look at Wen Nanxi.

In the Beast World continent, everyone only eats two meals a day. After working all day, she was starving.

The fish noodles were topped with bird eggs and cooked sweet potato leaves.

It tastes delicious.

As Wen Nanxi ate his dinner, he found everything he ate incredible.

I never knew fish meat could be deboned and made so delicious.

It doesn't even have a fishy smell.

Moreover, she eats very quietly and elegantly.

Every dish of food amazed Wen Nanxi.

After Su Muyao had almost finished eating, she suddenly remembered something and looked up at Wen Nanxi.

She noticed that Wen Nanxi's every move while eating was elegant and refined, as if he were a noble young master from a prestigious family.

In fact, she didn't know Wen Nanxi's background or origins.

She only remembered that he was someone her father had brought back once, and he had told her to treat him well.

"Is the food to your liking?"

Wen Nanxi said gently, "Mmm, it's delicious."

“If my wife wants to eat anything, just tell me the steps, and I will make it for you, so you won’t have to work so hard.”

Su Muyao smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just killing time anyway."

"And I enjoy cooking."

In the post-apocalyptic world, food is scarce and extremely precious, and sometimes people have to drink nutrient solutions.

Upon arriving in the Beast World, the culture and cuisine were relatively backward.

But the air environment is pure and unpolluted, resources are abundant, and the food is all organic.

She can cook all kinds of delicious food.

This made her very happy.

It can also be used to cook rice over a wood fire.

In the apocalypse, it's impossible to cook meals with firewood anymore.

Looking at Su Muyao's bright and charming expression, Wen Nanxi knew that she was telling the truth.

"Then I'll be your assistant from now on."

"it is good."

Su Muyao did not refuse. Wen Nanxi had superpowers, so many tasks were easier for her than for Su Muyao.

After finishing her meal, Wen Nanxi naturally cleared away the dishes.

This was also the first full meal Wen Nanxi had eaten after being exiled.

Su Muyao went to the yard to burn wood ash, intending to use it to wash the pig offal.

According to the timeline of the previous life, it is now the beginning of the seventh month of the lunar calendar.

The weather is still a bit hot during the day, and these pork pieces can easily spoil if not handled properly.

Finding food in the forest is not so easy now, and it's also dangerous.

So she didn't want to waste any food.

It just doesn't have spices. If it did have spices, it could be used to make braised dishes.

It is said that there are various shops and pharmacies in the nearby cities, and some people in the tribe go to the nearest city to exchange their hunted animals for salt, pottery jars and other daily necessities.

Pharmacies might have spices, but to exchange for spices, you'd probably need a lot of meat and animal hides.

She plans to dry all the shiitake mushrooms she picked and grind them into shiitake mushroom powder to use as a seasoning.

Also, dried wood ear mushrooms can be stored away and simply soaked before eating.

……

the other side

After Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye finished their meal, they both fell silent as they looked at the empty bowls and plates.

They never expected there to be such delicious food.

Hua Linye said, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that she cooked the food."

"It's so delicious! I've never tasted anything like this in the family before." Xiao Jihan said in a low voice, "According to the rules, we should be taking care of her, not the other way around."

Although Su Muyao verbally abused and beat them in various ways and acted ruthlessly, they loathed her.

But they have a deeply ingrained belief in them from a young age.

They should be the ones cooking for their wives.

Hua Linye said helplessly, "Is it that we don't want to cook for her? It's that she's always picky about the food we cook."

“She would flip the table and throw away all the food she had painstakingly prepared rather than let us eat it.”

"And the three of us take turns cooking."

Even when the three of them went hunting, one of them would stay at home to protect and take care of Su Muyao, while the other two would go out to hunt and find food.

Because although this is within the tribe, it is safer than outside.

However, some violent and crazed mutant beasts may break into the tribe and kill people.

Therefore, everyone is being extra cautious.

"It's as if the sun rose in the west today."

At this moment, Hana Rinya felt a sense of unreality.

After a pause, Hua Linye asked suspiciously, "Wen Nanxi said she was different from usual today. Could it be true?"

A slight ripple appeared in Xiao Jihan's cold eyes.

He hadn't thought much of it before, but now that he thought about it, it seemed that her eyes had changed after she woke up from hitting the wall.

At the time, he felt that she was coming up with new tricks to deal with them.

Is it possible?
Realizing a suspicion in his heart, Xiao Jihan's expression changed.

But he wasn't sure.

"Let's wait and see, don't fall into her trap."

Hua Linye suddenly slumped down, "That's right, let's clean up the dishes first!"

Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye packed up the things and took them to the kitchen.

As they came out of the house, they saw Su Muyao sitting in the yard, busy with something.

They all thought they were hallucinating.

Even when Hua Linye used his special abilities to see, it was still Su Muyao.

Su Muyao heard the voice behind her but didn't turn around.

Wen Nanxi cleaned up the dishes, wiped the table and floor, and only came out of the kitchen after tidying everything up.

Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye took their bowls and chopsticks inside to wash up.

When Wen Nanxi saw Su Muyao in the courtyard, she also showed a hint of surprise. She stepped forward and said softly, "What does my wife need? I'll do it!"

"It's nothing now, just need to clean these things up."

When Wen Nanxi saw what Su Muyao was washing in the basin, her expression changed. "Usually, we would throw away these things when we brought back wild animals from hunting."

"It's inedible."

But after eating the food made by Su Muyao today, Wen Nanxi knew that Su Muyao had her own way of making food, which could turn waste into treasure.

Su Muyao patiently explained, "These are actually good things too. As long as you wash them clean with wood ash and use them to cook food, you can eat them."

"From now on, we can keep the offal of wild animals."

"Wen Nanxi, I won't let you go hungry from now on."

Upon hearing this and seeing her earnest gaze, Wen Nanxi's heart softened, and his expression became gentle.

"Yes, I believe in my wife."

"It is our duty to ensure that our wives do not go hungry."

"Is there anything I can do for you?"

Su Muyao said, "I plan to cut all those sweet potatoes into small pieces."

This way, she can use a small portion to make sweet potato syrup, which she can then use to season her cooking later.

Most of it is used to make sweet potato starch, which can then be used to make delicious food.

She would plant sweet potatoes in the space fields at night, where crops grew quickly and yielded high output.

"Okay, I'll do these."

……

Meanwhile, Xiao Jihan and Hua Linye finished cleaning up the dishes and stayed in the kitchen without moving.

It seems like they want to do something.

"She used to like to take a bath after meals."

"Let's boil some water first!"
