Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Just Eating Fruits? Chapter 377: Chapter 377: Just Eating Fruits? “Didn’t you go with her?” Ya Molian’s black eyes squinted a bit.
Zhe Jue touched his nose, somewhat guilty.
But that’s inevitable. Miss Lin told him firmly to watch over the kitchen while she cooked on Manghuang Mountain, and he didn’t dare to leave, of course.
Although Zhong You was also in the kitchen, the little fellow indeed didn’t understand the kitchen work better than Miss Lin.
“How long has she been gone?” Ya Molian asked.
“Almost an hour and a half.”
Zhe Jue answered, looking outside at the sky.
Ya Molian also turned to look outside and thought: The girl went into the mountains so early, it must have been intentional. She probably was afraid that he would follow her into the mountains, so she didn’t want him to go, right?
“You go check.” he instructed Zhe Jue.
At this moment, he really couldn’t go up the mountain to find her. Otherwise, this girl would definitely get angry at him.
“Well… Boss, there’s something stewing in the pot. Miss Lin asked me to keep my eye on the heat.” Zhe Jue said helplessly.
Upon hearing his words, Ya Molian glanced at him deeply and looked at Zhen Wu on the side.
Zhen Wu responded, then turned to walk outside.
Zhe Jue looked innocently at his boss. Why was he angry? Didn’t he just tell the truth?
If what Miss Lin asked him to keep an eye on got burnt, he’d surely be in big trouble!
“What are you standing here for, aren’t you going to the kitchen?”
Ya Molian looked at him, took the chopsticks in his hands, and reminded him.
“Yes, I’ll go right away.” Upon hearing this, Zhe Jue went immediately to the kitchen.
On the other hand, Zhen Wu didn’t walk for long before he encountered Lin Caisang, who was wearing a rainsheet and carrying a basket full of bright cherries.
He quickly stepped forward to take the basket from her hands. He also took down the bamboo basket on her back and held it in his hands. It was filled with a pile of loquats, with a jar of wild honey that she had brought back on top.
Although it’s raining during this season, there are still a lot of fruits in the mountains. Cherries and loquats are in season right now. There are also some wild strawberries, blackberries, raspberries and gooseberries which can be picked and eaten.
“Miss Lin, you’re finally back. The boss is looking for you.”
“Did he get up so early?”
Lin Caisang offhandedly asked a question, but didn’t think too much. She continued to walk towards Manghuang Mountain.
According to Zhe Jue, Miss Lin, didn’t you go up to the mountain an hour and a half ago?
Compared to you, the boss should be considered late, right?
“Miss Lin, you picked so many fruits?”
Lin Caisang nodded her head.
“They’ll be used at noon.”
Are they going to eat fruits for lunch? That can’t be right?
Back in the mountains, Lin Caisang checked on Ya Molian to assure him that she had returned and he didn’t need to worry. She then headed to the kitchen.
Zhe Jue who was in the kitchen, Zhen Wu, Jiang Zuo, Jiang Li who wanted to come and help, including Zhong You, were all kicked out of the kitchen by Lin Caisang. The five of them stood outside the kitchen, looking at each other.
In the end, no one said anything, and everyone went to do their own stuff.
In the kitchen, Lin Caisang washed the cherries and loquats she picked, soaked the raspberries in salt water for a while, and then put the loquats in hot water for a while before taking them out.
