The eggshells were too thin; if the bird eggs were thrown directly into the fire to roast, the shells would likely burn off, exposing the whites to the ashes and making them dirty.
"Lan Lan, can you watch the fire for Mommy for a bit? Mommy will go prepare the bird eggs," Lu Wanqing said to Xiao Mu Lan.
Xiao Mu Lan immediately nodded, "Okay! I'll definitely watch the fire well!"
Lu Wanqing smiled, but looking at her child, she still reminded him, "Lan Lan, don't touch the fire with your hands. And your clothes, keep them a distance from the flames. You must not get burned."
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Mu Lan nodded again.
Lu Wanqing smiled and finally instructed, "Lan Lan, just keep a distance from the fire, watch it, and don't let the flames go out. If anything happens, just call Mommy over. Don't do anything yourself."
Xiao Mu Lan looked at his mother, hesitated for a moment, and nodded again, "Okay."
In the livestream, hundreds of millions of viewers watched Lu Wanqing seriously instructing Xiao Mu Lan on various precautions, and they belatedly felt Lu Wanqing's gentleness towards her child.
"Ahhh, Goddess is so caring towards Lan Lan, so warm. I want a mommy like this too!"
Lu Wanqing didn't look at the comments. After clearly explaining everything to her child and hearing Xiao Mu Lan's promises, she nodded and got up to leave.
The best way to roast bird eggs was to coat them in moist mud.
There was mud everywhere, but they were short on water. Lu Wanqing didn't know where to find water on this planet, so she wanted to conserve the little purified water in her spatial storage as much as possible.
Lu Wanqing searched the nearby forest and quickly found a plant with full leaves that clearly had a lot of moisture. She was in good spirits.
However, when it came to unfamiliar plants for food, caution was necessary. Lu Wanqing didn't rashly pick the leaves of this plant. Instead, she turned the camera to film the plant and then asked the livestream audience,
"Does anyone recognize this plant?"
"Lan Lan and I don't have much water right now. I need some moisture to wet the mud to coat the bird eggs for roasting."
"These leaves look very moist. Can anyone help me check if this plant's leaves contain any toxins? Can they be used as food?"
As soon as Lu Wanqing finished speaking, the next second, a highlighted VIP comment floated across the screen.
Yu Nong: "Lu Wanqing, to your right rear, about three hundred meters away, there's a patch of travelers' palm!"
Yu Nong: "Go there and check. The base of the travelers' palm leaf stalks, due to their special structure, often store a lot of water!"
Travelers' palm?
Lu Wanqing was stunned. She quickly turned back, but where was the travelers' palm?
She was shocked. She knew about travelers' palms; their leaves did indeed hold a lot of water. If she could find it, she and Xiao Mu Lan wouldn't have to worry about water!
Lu Wanqing hadn't seen it before, but now that Yu Nong had pointed it out, she quickly looked behind her.
However...
Three hundred meters?
Was Yu Nong not joking with her?
She couldn't see three hundred meters away from where she was. Yu Nong wasn't on this planet. If he was just seeing the situation through the livestream, how could he know about what was three hundred meters away?
Lu Wanqing's mind was filled with questions, but Yu Nong was not just anyone. He was Xiao Yu Shu's father, the father of her child, and an outstanding youth recognized by the federation. He shouldn't be lying to her, right?
Three hundred meters was quite far. Lu Wanqing looked back at Mu Lan with some concern. In the end, she decided to walk faster and go take a look. She trusted that Yu Nong wouldn't lie to her.
Lu Wanqing walked quickly. The viewers in the livestream also reacted quickly and excitedly ran in the direction Yu Nong had indicated.
Lu Wanqing didn't know that interstellar livestreams were more advanced than she imagined. As long as viewers entered her livestream on the Star Network, they could enter a full-simulation environment. The size of the environment that the main computer could simulate varied depending on the level of the livestream equipment.
The equipment Lu Wanqing was using was from the Mu family, which was undoubtedly the highest-grade equipment in the entire galaxy. Its full-simulation range was the widest among all livestreaming equipment in the galaxy, extending up to a thousand meters.
Lu Wanqing couldn't see the viewers on the Star Network, but many viewers who logged into the livestream could freely move around in the forest around her through the full-simulation environment, observing the surrounding plants and environment.
This was how Yu Nong discovered the travelers' palm three hundred meters away from her.
Lu Wanqing went there, and she indeed saw the travelers' palm!
"I wonder if there's water," Lu Wanqing couldn't help but mutter, then excitedly ran over.
She had many tools. She took out a knife from her spatial storage and cut off a travelers' palm leaf. She revealed the underside and broke it open. Instantly, she saw lots of water!
"There's water!" Lu Wanqing exclaimed excitedly upon finding water and happily turned to the livestream camera, saying,
Many viewers in the livestream saw it too. They were all excited, congratulating Lu Wanqing and urging her to quickly collect the water.
Lu Wanqing took out an empty bottle. She had brought water in it before, but she and Mu Lan had already drunk it all today. Now, only the bottle remained, which was perfect for collecting water.
Lu Wanqing cut open the leaves of the travelers' palm and quickly filled a bottle with water.
Xiao Mu Lan was still alone watching the fire. Lu Wanqing was worried. After getting the water, she hurried back.
Lu Wanqing ran a bit too fast. Only when Xiao Mu Lan came into view and she knew her child was still by the fire, being good and safe, with no accidents, did she finally relax.
Lu Wanqing happily returned, holding the water.
"Mommy, did you find water?" Xiao Mu Lan asked excitedly when he saw his mother approaching.
Actually, Xiao Mu Lan had seen the comments earlier and could roughly guess that Uncle Yu Nong had reminded Mommy, and Mommy had gone to the travelers' palm to get water!
"Mmm, I found it. I'm going to dig for mud now!" Lu Wanqing said with a happy smile.
Now that she had water, everything else became simpler. Lu Wanqing dug up some mud, mixed it with water to make it moist, then took the bird eggs, coated each one with the mud paste, and finally placed them in the fire to roast.
"Mommy, can bird eggs be roasted like this?" Xiao Mu Lan asked curiously as he watched Lu Wanqing place the eggs into the fire.
Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Yes."
"Will they be delicious roasted like this?" Xiao Mu Lan couldn't help but ask again.
Lu Wanqing smiled and nodded, "Mmm, Lan Lan can try them himself later."
"Mmm, mmm!" Xiao Mu Lan immediately nodded.
On the Star Network, Little Harvey heard his mother's words and his mouth began to water. He really wanted to eat too!
Little Harvey had found quite a few bird nests since he was young, but he had never roasted bird eggs like his mother. He didn't know that bird eggs could be roasted this way!
He suddenly had a strong desire to go find some more bird eggs and try roasting them like his mother, coated in wet mud. They would surely be delicious!
