"Dinner time!"
Under the setting sun, Shen Qian, who volunteered to cook, stood by the water-bearing pool and formed a megaphone with her hands around her mouth, shouting loudly.
Zhou Tianhao and Qin Lang, who were engrossed in their special training in the pool, quickly came ashore with their Food Spirits. They changed into dry clothes and huddled together.
"Try this new delicious dish I've been experimenting with all afternoon!" Shen Qian, grinning, held up a bowl of steaming soup with a distinct aroma. "It's called 'Delicate Sparrow Soup'."
"Nice name," Qin Lang, smiling, also served himself a bowl, and the scent of it surprised him. "Soup made from mountain sparrows?"
"Correct! I took the most tender parts of the mountain sparrow, ground it into a mince, then simmered it with mushrooms and wild bamboo shoots, keeping only the soup after the ingredients were removed," Shen Qian confirmed, a hint of pride on her face.
