Lu Wanqing explained, then carried the rabbit back to the riverside.
Mu Lan and Zhong Li Feiyu had already caught quite a few fish, enough for a hearty lunch today!
"Mommy!" Seeing Lu Wanqing return, little Mu Lan immediately dropped his fishing rod and ran over excitedly, "Uncle Zhong Li and I caught so many fish just now!!!"
"Many?" Lu Wanqing asked with a smile.
"Mhm, so many!" Little Mu Lan nodded happily.
Lu Wanqing lifted the rabbit in her hand and said, "Mommy also caught a rabbit, so we can have spicy rabbit meat for lunch today!"
"A rabbit?" Mu Lan stared at the prey in his mommy's hand, his eyes wide with curiosity.
Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's a rabbit!"
Mu Lan immediately reached out to grab it, and Lu Wanqing handed it over.
Little Mu Lan, holding the rabbit, curiously examined it.
Lu Wanqing returned to the riverside and first checked the water pit. Indeed, there were plenty of fish, more than enough for lunch.
"We have enough fish, no need to fish anymore," Lu Wanqing confirmed the number of fish and then looked up at Zhong Li Feiyu, who was still fishing.
Zhong Li Feiyu paused slightly, then nodded, "Alright."
Zhong Li Feiyu hesitated for a moment, then reeled in his fishing hook and placed it on the bank.
Lu Wanqing set aside the earthworms she had caught and scooped some soil into a bamboo tube to keep the earthworms alive.
"Mommy, so many earthworms!" Mu Lan's eyes lit up again when he saw the earthworms his mommy had taken out.
Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Yes, we'll keep them for now, and we can use them for fishing next time."
"Mhm mhm!" Mu Lan nodded enthusiastically, overjoyed.
Zhong Li Feiyu stood by, and upon hearing Lu Wanqing's words, he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to fish again next time sounded good.
"Is that a rabbit?" Zhong Li Feiyu quickly spotted the prey Lu Wanqing had brought back and asked in his resolute voice.
Lu Wanqing nodded, "Yes, I caught it in the forest just now. We can make a dish with it."
Zhong Li Feiyu picked up the rabbit and examined it. He found a bleeding wound on its body, suggesting that Lu Wanqing had injured it there before catching it.
As someone accustomed to warfare, he looked at the wound with surprise.
The live stream's bullet comments were synchronized. When Lu Wanqing was hunting in the forest earlier, he could also see the comments from the viewers. From their words, he knew the weapon Lu Wanqing had used: a bow and arrow!
"Did you hunt with a bow and arrow?" Zhong Li Feiyu asked, his curiosity piqued.
Lu Wanqing paused, then nodded, "Yes."
Zhong Li Feiyu looked at Lu Wanqing with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "May I borrow the bow and arrow to have a look?"
He had studied all the weapons of the interstellar era, but he knew very little about ancient Earth weapons. Or rather, his understanding of ancient Earth weapons was limited to books or pictures seen online. This was the first time he was seeing a usable ancient Earth weapon in person.
Meeting Zhong Li Feiyu's inquisitive gaze, Lu Wanqing opened her space button after a brief moment and took out the bow and arrow, handing it over.
"Ahhh, my goddess! Even the General is curious about the bow and arrow made by my goddess!"
"I want a bow and arrow too!"
"Want a bow and arrow! Want a bow and arrow! Want a bow and arrow! Important things must be said three times!!!"
The live stream's bullet comments instantly became lively again, with countless viewers frantically typing, all clamoring to see the bow and arrow.
While Zhong Li Feiyu was examining the bow and arrow, Lu Wanqing didn't waste time. It was getting late, and she needed to prepare lunch.
Preparing a meal was quite a complex process, from handling the ingredients to the cooking itself.
Mu Lan was busy. He was curious about the bow and arrow his mommy had made, and he was also curious about the process of his mommy making lunch. He would go to Uncle Zhong Li to study the bow and arrow his mommy had made, and then return to his mommy's side to watch her prepare lunch.
Lu Wanqing spent an hour cleaning the rabbit, then dicing it and placing it on a washed leaf, marinating it with seasonings for thirty minutes.
While the rabbit cubes were marinating, Lu Wanqing cleaned the fish they had caught that morning, gutted them, scaled them, rinsed them clean, and then put them in a pot to simmer.
In half an hour, Lu Wanqing finished the fish soup. She then took the marinated rabbit cubes, added ingredients to the pot, and began stir-frying.
Unlike the fish soup, the stir-fried rabbit cubes released a rich aroma after only a short time.
Mu Lan's eyes were fixed on the rabbit meat. Smelling the fragrant aroma wafting from the pot, he couldn't help but exclaim happily, "Mommy, it smells so good!"
In the live stream, viewers, seeing the vibrant and tempting rabbit cubes in the pot, couldn't help but salivate.
"Ahhh, how can my goddess be so versatile? This rabbit meat looks incredibly delicious. I'm drooling just watching the stream!"
"To be honest, I've already instructed my housekeeping robot to have rabbit meat for lunch today!"
"Ahhh, I'm ordering too! I want rabbit meat for lunch today, and fish soup too! I want everything my goddess has!!!"
"Are the people upstairs dreaming? Do you really think the housekeeping robot's cooking can compare to my goddess's?"
In the comment section, viewers started arguing. Some believed that housekeeping robots made decent food, while others insisted that it couldn't possibly be as good as what their goddess made.
Lu Wanqing saw these comments, but she only glanced at them and didn't respond. Soon, the rabbit meat was ready.
"Dinner is ready," Lu Wanqing announced.
"Thank you, Mommy! Mommy is the best!!!" Mu Lan exclaimed excitedly.
Lu Wanqing ruffled his hair and then looked up at Zhong Li Feiyu, "Mr. Zhong Li, please eat."
"Alright."
"Thank you."
Zhong Li Feiyu thanked her sincerely.
Lu Wanqing served a bowl of fish soup to Zhong Li Feiyu with a bamboo bowl and then served another bowl to little Mu Lan.
Mu Lan took the fish soup, but his eyes were fixed on the rabbit cubes. "I want to eat that too."
"You can," Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded. After all, she had made an extra dish to add variety and make the meal more enjoyable and nutritious for her child.
Zhong Li Feiyu picked up his chopsticks and was about to pick up a rabbit cube when Lu Wanqing quickly stopped him, "Mr. Zhong Li, you can't eat this!"
Zhong Li Feiyu's hand, holding a rabbit cube and about to lift it, froze.
Lu Wanqing explained, "Mr. Zhong Li, you were injured not long ago, and your wound hasn't fully healed yet. You should eat less spicy food to help your wound heal faster!"
