Chapter 180: Stewed Potato With Tiger
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Until Gu Mengmeng had enough of laughing, she exerted strength on both her arms and jumped off from the large stone. Her legs did not touch the ground yet when Elvis caught her and hugged her in his arms firmly, “The floor is cold, be careful.”
Gu Mengmeng felt a warm sensation in her heart and she replied, “Yeah.”
She received the potatoes from Elvis and after placing it in her hands, she then realized that was this really a potato? It was almost as big as a dragon fruit.
She weighed it in her hands and sensed that it’s weight was around two pounds. And that bunch in Elvis’s hands… f***, they earned it. She just had to pluck all the potatoes in this field and it would be enough to last the entire Saint Nazaire tribe for one year.
Of course, Gu Mengmeng neglected a very important question. There were many males in Saint Nazaire and they were all ferocious beasts who ate meat like Elvis. Potatoes, to them, did not have much attractiveness. Of course, if they had to perform in front of females, let alone potatoes, they could even eat two pounds of it but as food, they would definitely not choose it.
However, Gu Mengmeng did not think about it for the time being and just submerged herself in her little world of imagination: potato shreds, potato fries, braised potato, beef potato stew… no no, she did not see any cow after she came here, how about stewed potato with… tiger? Huh, just thinking about it was quite horrifying. A tiger head placed in the middle of a pot of potatoes, just meeting eyes with the tiger made her feel that she was the food instead.
No no, the taste is too strong, as expected, she still could not get used to it.
Elvis saw how Gu Mengmeng’s expressions kept changing after a while and could not help but recall that day he met her for the first time. She was like that too and n.o.body knew what she was thinking about. However, her odd expression made one’s lips curved up uncontrollably.
He hugged onto Gu Mengmeng and kissed her before asking, “What are you thinking about? Tell me about it too.”
Gu Mengmeng shrugged her shoulders and said, “I was thinking, how should we bring all these potatoes back?”
Elvis turned his head backwards slightly and said, “There’s people who will help us. Just take as much as you want.”
Gu Mengmeng tilted her head, a question mark written all over her face.
Elvis howled deeply behind him and a few shadows appeared from the faraway forest, scrambling to Gu Mengmeng and Elvis in a hurry.
Gu Mengmeng gave a look, oh my, they were all familiar faces.
“Barete, Collin, Oakley? Why are all of you here?” Gu Mengmeng asked while smiling.
Collin scratched his head innocently and said, “I saw Barete following you out of the tribe and thought that maybe you will need some help so I tagged along.”
Oakley stepped a small step forward secretly and smiled at Gu Mengmeng, “I didn’t see you for a few days. I was scared that you will forget me if I don’t appear soon so I tagged along too.”
Barete did not say anything and just stood there quietly. However, his gaze did not leave Gu Mengmeng a single bit at all.
Gu Mengmeng smiled while shaking her head helplessly, saying, “Since all of you already came, why are you all still acting so sneakily? Wouldn’t it be good if all of you came out to greet us?”
Oakley pointed at Collin and said, “He pulled me back and did not let me come out.”
Collin immediately pointed at Barete, “I wanted to come out from the start but Barete blocked me and said that you will be upset if you saw us.”
As Collin said, he turned his head to Barete and continued, “Why did you lie? Gu Mengmeng’s clearly not upset.”
Barete was awkward as he sighed helplessly, “How much gra.s.s do you want to pluck? I’ll help you.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled and said, “As much as you can, these are our rations for winter.”
