The lobsters were cooked first, the original white meat was stained with little ash. After carefully removing the ashes, she handed the lobster to Hu Feng.

Hu Feng has always love to be clean. His worn-out clothes have been kept clean for many years. He must love to be clean even when eating.

Hu Feng took the lobster that Bai Zhi handed to him and warmly said: “It doesn’t matter, it’s only a little bit of ash, you don’t need to clean them up for me.”

Bai Zhi smiled and said: “That’s what you said. Don’t let me see you stop eating on that part with ash.”

Hu Feng shook his head: “I won’t.” He smiled at her, then bowed his head and bit the fine white meat of the lobster. There was no salt pepper and oil. He thought it would be difficult to eat it, but he didn’t expect that it will taste so sweet and tender. Much tender to the one he used to eat before.

When Hu Feng finished eating the lobster in his hand, he asked: “I used to catch lobsters outside the village. It looks exactly like this, but it doesn’t taste sweet and tender like this, why is that?”

Bai Zhi smiled and raised the lobster in her hand: “The reason is very simple. You must have thrown the lobsters into the water and cook it. And you boiled it for a long time. The meat will naturally get hard and lose its sweetness.”

Hu Feng suddenly remembered what Bai Zhi said before, she said that cooking has a step by step process. People must learn when to control the heat when to fry, when to put the seasonings, and when to stop cooking. Those are all important steps. No wonder when he tried to cook, he always failed. Obviously, he didn’t follow those steps, so the taste of his cuisine was always unsatisfactory.

Compared with lobster, the crucian carp’s meat is not sweet. Although the meat was tender, it was troublesome to eat because of its bones. Besides, there were no seasonings, it doesn’t taste sweet just like the lobsters. After eating a piece, Hu Feng doesn’t want to eat anymore.

Hu Feng felt dizzy, his eyelids began to feel heavy. He simply leaned on his back and closed his eyes to rest. While the sky was still bright, he wanted to sleep for a while. He had to wake up at night. If they encountered a wild beast, how can Bai Zhi be its opponent?

When the warm sunshine gradually disappearing, Hu Feng’s body became hotter and hotter. From time to time, he also said words that couldn’t understand. He slept very uncomfortably, no one knows what he was dreaming.

Seeing the sky was going to be dark soon, Bai Zhi took advantage of the glimmering light in the valley and picked up a few more dry branches. The night is long, she must not let the fire in the bonfire extinguished.

In acupuncture, there was this healing method for fever. This healing method requires the patient to reach 40 degrees of temperature before it can be applied. If the patient didn’t reach 40 degrees, the patient might suffer from dehydration, which is not a joke.

Bai Zhi tried to use her clothes and soak it in the water stream to cool down Hu Feng’s fever. However, his body temperature was still increasing.

“He can’t wait any longer.” Bai Zhi quickly took out her needle bag. Although there was no thermometer, according to her years of experience, Hu Feng’s temperature has reached forty degrees by now.

Bai Zhi untied Hu Feng’s clothes, revealing his strong and beautiful body. This was not her first time to see his naked body, but it was her first to see it up close and touched it with her hands.

Bai Zhi’s face was as red as the fire, and her little heart beats fast as if she has been frightened.

Bai Zhi shook her head and said: “Zhi’er, Zhi’er, you are really shameless. Although the body in front of you is beautiful, he is sick. You dared to think about something else?”
