Sword and Sorcery and Martial Arts

Chapter 416 Night
"Do you have any other companions? Why are there two horses here?" Natalya asked, pointing to the traveling horse tied to a nearby tree.

"No, these two horses belong to me. If you ride the two horses in rotation, you will move forward much faster." Rhodes replied as he piled up the dry firewood he had picked up.

"That's good, this one belongs to me." Natalya stood up and patted one of the gray-white traveling horses.

"I've been walking on my feet for a while, and I feel like my feet are about to break off." She sat down again and said.

"Aren't you going to buy a few horses or take someone else's carriage? Don't you have any money?" Rhodes asked after lighting the firewood with the Flame Tongue Technique.

"No, I basically stayed in the tomb all the time before. I rarely deal with strangers, and I don't know how to get along with normal people." Natalya replied.

"Indeed." Rhodes recalled Natalya's behavior before.

"Do you have anything to eat? You're not going to go hunting now, are you?" Natalya asked.

After she said this, her face changed, as if she remembered something, she stood up and walked in front of Rhodes, pushing Rhodes who was just about to speak.

"What are you doing?" Rhodes felt very strange about Natalya's behavior.

Could it be that she was affected by some special power of the Misty Mountains?
"Speaking of food, I suddenly remembered, what exactly did you feed me last time?" Natalya asked angrily.

"Did I give you anything to eat?" It had been almost two months since I last met Natalya, and Rhodes couldn't remember what happened.

He seemed to remember giving Natalya meat buns made by Lorraine.

"The poison you gave me said that if you didn't have your antidote, you would die tragically within three days. Do you know how scared I was when I was in the desert?" Natalya said loudly.

"That's all lying to you. You attacked me twice. I didn't trust you at the time, so I came up with this way to lie to you." Rhodes explained.

"Heh, if I really wanted to harm you, you would have died many times already." Natalya said disdainfully.

"Then why do you keep talking about killing me?" Rhodes said speechlessly.

"I told you just now that I'm not very good at dealing with others. When I stayed on the ground, people would often jump out from the side of the road and say to me that they would kill me. I always thought it was a very good sentence. It's normal." Natalya explained.

Rhodes felt even more speechless after hearing it, he didn't expect such an explanation.

But it’s not too strange if you think about it carefully. In the city where he lived before traveling, older people who spoke in dialect would take a few extremely insulting words as modal particles.

If analyzed literally, these words would appear to be dirty, but the person who said them did not mean to be insulting, and those who did not understand would definitely think they were insulting him.

Rhodes could only understand why Natalya often said to him "It would be fine if I killed you at that time", it should be just a mouth fetish or something.

He could imagine the mental journey of those robbers when they robbed Natalya, from the joy when they saw a little girl who thought they were easy to bully, to the despair after seeing Natalya's strength.

"Forget it, let's treat it as if we are even, and I won't bother with you." Natalya said again: "Do you have any food on you? It's already dark now, so it's not convenient to hunt."

"I carry air-dried meat that can be eaten directly, and some other fresh ingredients, but it takes some time to cook these ingredients." Rhodes replied

"Give me air-dried meat that I can eat directly, I'm a little hungry." Natalya said immediately.

Rhodes took out a piece of air-dried meat and handed it to Natalya: "It's a bit hard, I suggest you cook it before eating, anyway, I will definitely cook it."

When Rhodes was talking, Natalya had already started eating.

The mouth is really good.

Rhodes couldn't help sighing when he saw Natalya's eating.

He took out the bracket and pot from the space ring and put them on top of the bonfire, ready to fry a few dishes. He saw that Natalya ate such delicious air-dried meat, and felt that she was really pitiful. What a good thing to eat.

Rhodes decided to let her experience the desperation when there is delicious food in front of her but she can't eat it, in order to avenge the pain she did to him, and she indirectly caused him to meet the dragon man.

He took out a small table and placed it next to the campfire to place spices, chopping boards and the like.

Al still has a lot of room left in his bag, even after packing all this mess.

Rhodes placed various condiments on the wooden table, washed his hands, and began to process the ingredients.

He took out a wooden bowl and put it on the table, cracked a few eggs and poured them into the wooden bowl, then used a small round spoon to scoop out the egg yolks in the bowl and put them into another small bowl.

Rhodes took out a piece of fresh beef and cut it into strips on the chopping board, put it into a bowl with egg whites, added his refined salt to start researching.

After that, he took out the wooden barrel that could hold a lot of water, and began to clean a plant that looked and tasted like green peppers.

The water in the wooden barrel is filled with boiled mountain spring water, which tastes sweet.

"What are you doing?" Natalya, who was eating air-dried meat, looked at Rhodes who was chopping vegetables suspiciously.

"Prepare my dinner." Rhode replied. He was usually too lazy to do it a few days ago, and usually just gnawed some air-dried meat just like Natalya.

"I didn't expect you, a nobleman, to be able to cook." Natalya said.

"You still lack knowledge." Rhode continued to be busy while talking to Natalya.

It didn't take long for him to finish his preparations.

He took out an iron round spoon that served as a spatula, then poured oil into the pot, and when the oil started to boil, he poured a wooden bowl into the pot.

The wooden bowl contained egg yolks and minced pork. He planned to make a chopped egg with minced meat first.

This dish is very simple, and the seasoning is added directly to the egg liquid, so it only needs to be cooked.

"It smells so good." Natalya, who was still eating air-dried meat, said after smelling the smell.

A piece of air-dried meat about two catties was eaten by her until only a small bite remained. Rhodes didn't expect her to have such a good appetite.

"Can you still eat?" Rhodes asked.

"You can try it." Natalya kept her eyes on the pot in front of Rhodes.

Rhodes took out a wooden plate, packed the minced meat and chopped eggs in the pot, and put it aside.

Then start to make the next dish, beef tenderloin with green pepper.

The fresh beef will be very tender after being marinated with egg whites, and then the green peppers that have been fried in oil are added. The aroma alone makes Natalia's saliva almost stay.

Finally, Rhodes fried a plate of Chinese cabbage with lard and garlic.

This is his family's habit of cooking. Adding some garlic when frying vegetables will make the taste much better.

Three dishes are enough, and he can't finish eating any more.

It would be better if there is rice.

Rhodes can only use bread as a staple food, and he feels that even steamed buns and noodles are much better than bread as a staple food.

"Do you want to eat something?" Rhodes asked with a smile looking at Natalya who had been swallowing.

"Yes! But I'm almost full, and I can only eat a few bites at most." Natalya nodded.

Rhodes handed her a pair of clean chopsticks.

Natalya picked up a piece of beef from the plate after using chopsticks for a long time, she looked a little sullen: "I don't know how to use this thing, can I use my hands directly?"
