"Eh?" Bai Sasa was somewhat stunned.
Had Brother Wenli not noticed anything unusual about her?
At that moment, Li Wenli had already turned to tend to the stove, showing no hint of surprise or shock.
Bai Sasa watched for a long time before she was sure that Brother Wenli hadn’t realized she was Strongman, and then she somewhat relieved, went to the corner to knead the fruit oil.
And so, when the grand fish feast was served, the most eye-catching dish was the thinly sliced, delicate, and transparent sashimi.
The nobility would eat sashimi during the spring outings, and in Bai Junjun’s memory, the original host had also eaten it.
However, it was her first time eating it.
Although she had wanted to make sashimi before, she had lost her dagger, and the only tool she had was a stone awl. Although sharp, the awl couldn’t slice the meat as thin as a cicada’s wing.
The shape of the meat affects the taste, and since she couldn’t properly prepare it with the awl, she couldn’t expect them to just grab a piece and bite into it, right?
After much deliberation, they could only choose the simplest method, boiling the fish for soup or porridge.
But now it was different, their new chef had a dagger!
And Li Wenli’s sashimi was quite sophisticated, with a small dish of oil for each person and many aromatic herbs as side dishes.
Before the meal, he explained, "Here we have Citrus medica, perilla, basil, etc. First, dip the fish in the oil, then add some aromatic herbs to eat together. I believe you’ll like it."
Bai Junjun, who had lived two lifetimes, had never listened to a teacher so attentively and obediently. As soon as Li Wenli finished speaking, she quickly picked up a piece of sashimi, followed the instructions, and put it into her mouth.
The fish was naturally bouncy, and the vegetable oil added a layer of smooth creaminess. Mixed with the finely shredded aromatic herbs, it felt like the fish was playing a beautiful symphony in her mouth.
Bai Junjun was completely conquered by this dish, her chopsticks never stopped moving, and the other three youngsters were the same, eating non-stop.
The head of the fish here was very large; normally, a fish of this size would last for two meals, but under Li Wenli’s preparation, they managed to finish off a thirty-plus pound fish in just one meal.
The meal satisfied everyone greatly and marked a good start for the new alliance team.
After the meal, it was time for everyone to line up for a bath.
Bai Junjun, as the first volunteer test subject, eagerly raised her hand to go first, and since the others had no objections, they let the two girls bathe first.
The showerhead was quite good, spraying water evenly.
Once Bai Junjun was wet, she started using the Soapberry soap, wetting it and then rubbing it in her hands until a dense lather appeared.
Looking at the foam, she felt somewhat sentimental. Just yesterday afternoon, she had foolishly eaten Soapberry... Bai Junjun sighed helplessly.
It’s a piece of embarrassing history best left unmentioned!
Having been in ancient times for over a month, Bai Junjun had never taken such a comfortable bath.
Speaking of which, the last time she used Soapberry to bathe was at the Green Pool, but they had been on the road for nearly a month after leaving the Green Pool, right?
How many times she had struggled and fought for her life, never having a peaceful bath, and since she arrived here, she had only been rinsing with clean water.
But how could mere water wash away all the filth from the body?
Thanks to the Soapberry, Bai Junjun was totally relaxed.
When she first entered the bathroom, Bai Junjun’s first task was to wash off all her clothes, and then she had Bai Sasa dry them by the stove while she bathed; by the time she was done, her clothes were already half dry.
She came out feeling refreshed and then it was Bai Sasa’s turn to bathe.
Following the same method, Bai Sasa first washed her clothes, had her older sister help dry them by the stove, and then took her time bathing.
