Chapter 126 - Give A Chance To Other Males
Lea did not force Gu Mengmeng any further, and he said, “Then I’ll bring these fish back and you can eat them when you get hungry later.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her hands, “Don’t don’t don’t, fish don’t taste good when they turn cold. Elvis and you have been taking care of me all this while and both of you have not eaten yet, how about you two eat them?”
Elvis and Lea glanced at the fish and then looked at Gu Mengmeng. There were so many such things in the water and even if the entire Saint Nazaire eat it together, it would not run out in three to five years. On the other hand, although yellow gravy was rare, Gu Mengmeng looked like she had a way to get it without much sweat and since Bode and Collin had helped Gu Mengmeng extract so much yellow gravy, both of them would be able to get it too.
Since the ingredients were not rare, they had no reason to decline any further. Thus, the two of them shared the few big fish and chatted while eating, discussing how to improve it the next time.
Gu Mengmeng’s little stomach was so full till it became round and she dusted her hands before going off to find Sandy.
Finding Sandy among the crowd was not difficult. After all, besides Nina who was thrown away by Elvis, the only females left were Gu Mengmeng, Sandy and that female with an unknown name. Ignoring the unfamiliar female, Sandy had always been on good terms with Gu Mengmeng and Bode even wanted Gu Mengmeng to teach him how to roast fish so their fireplace was not that far from Gu Mengmeng.
When Gu Mengmeng walked to Sandy, she saw a sullen Sandy and an utterly exhausted Bode in a sorry plight. One of them was pouting unhappily while the other was walking rounds around the fireplace, his whole face being covered with black soot.
“What’s wrong?” Gu Mengmeng sat next to Sandy, tilting her head to ask.
Sandy twitched her lips and said, “I’m hungry.”
Gu Mengmeng turned around to look at the busy Bode, “How long has he been doing that?”
Sandy said, “He has been like that since the start but not a single water shuttle could be eaten… Gu Mengmeng, I’m really hungry. Can you help me roast a fish? Just one will do~”
Just when Gu Mengmeng wanted to agree after rolling up her sleeves, she was being carried by Lea as he said, “Mengmeng is also a female and needs to be taken care of, like you. If Bode’s cooking skills could not satisfy you, how about giving a chance to other males?”
As Lea finished talking, the males who were surrounding them offered their work immediately, “Sandy, how about trying the one I roasted?”
Lea did not say anything else, and he just walked in the direction of Elvis’s cave while carrying Gu Mengmeng. After walking a distance, he then said, “It’s not a good thing for Sandy if she gets too reliant on you.”
“Why?” Gu Mengmeng could not understand, “Isn’t it just a fish? It’s nothing if I just roast one for her. After all, she’s a precious female, she can’t always go hungry.”
“The way you make the food is very special. It requires time and talent to learn it. Bode and the rest did not seem like they have the talent to. But if Sandy’s taste buds were spoiled by you and if Bode and the rest could not make such delicious food like you, won’t you be preparing food for Sandy the whole time?” Lea’s voice was very gentle and had the effect of comforting someone.
Gu Mengmeng did not object to Lea’s words but once she recalled the wronged look on the little foodie Sandy’s face, her heart would still ache.
Lea smiled gently as he observed all of Gu Mengmeng’s expressions. Seeing how she was not objecting, he continued, “And furthermore, we are entering winter soon. When the snow covers the mountains for a few months, nobody can leave their caves. In these few months, even if you’re willing to prepare food for Sandy, you also can’t send it to her. And if Sandy can’t eat the food Bode and the rest prepare… when it becomes warm next year, there would only be three females left in Saint Nazaire.”
