Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 132 The First Roast in the Oven

"What? We still have to work?" Lin Lanshan's lips curled down, her eyes filled with confusion.

She took a lighter out of her spatial storage and waved it in front of her listless sister. "We need to start firing the kiln!"

Lin Lanshan's listlessness instantly transformed into boundless energy. Her eyes sparkled as she excitedly exclaimed:

"That grill! Come on, let's go home and get some firewood, and some things we can grill, so we can grill something to eat today!" She grabbed her sister's arm and started walking back.

"Wait, the pot, I forgot to take the pot!" Lin Chunyi almost couldn't break free before being dragged away.

The two turned around, took the pot with them, and then carried their baskets and bows and arrows home.

In the kitchen, Lin Lanshan searched everywhere for something to bake and eat.

She picked up a winter melon, then put it down. Next, she picked up a large pumpkin, then put it down. Then she picked up an egg…

She kept muttering, "This won't work, this won't work either... Sis, can we bake the eggs? Baked eggs must taste really good, right!"

Lin Chunyi stood with her arms crossed, watching as she turned the kitchen upside down.

"It can be baked, but it will explode. However, we can try to find a way to do it, since baked eggs are definitely tastier than boiled ones."

"Let's stop searching. There's nothing left to bake in the kitchen. Let's check the cellar; we need to bake some potatoes and corn, right?"

"Yes! Roasted potatoes with chili powder! And we can't forget the fragrant roasted corn!" Lin Lanshan grabbed a basket, filled it with four eggs, and dragged her sister down to the cellar.

The cellar was still full, with plenty of grain, vegetables, fruit, and meat.

She took out two tender ears of corn and two potatoes, and continued rummaging through piles of burlap sacks.

"Sis, there are so many soybeans, we can't possibly eat them all. Let's roast them and eat them too."

"Okay, take whatever you want." Lin Chunyi put the potatoes and corn that her sister had thrown out into the basket.

"Sister, let's roast some of these pumpkin seeds and watermelon seeds and eat them too."

"Take it, just keep enough seeds for next year." He continued picking up the things his sister had thrown out.

"Sis, can we roast the cured chicken?"

"If you're not afraid of it being too salty, then go ahead and bake it." There's no need to pick it up anymore, because my sister listened to my advice and didn't throw it out.

"Oh, what about these dried fruits? Let's roast some and try them too," Lin Lanshan asked, picking up a jar of dried peaches and a jar of dried hawthorns.

Lin Chunyi sighed, "They're already dried up..."

"Then we can roast it and try some crunchy dried fruit," Lin Lanshan pouted, insisting.

"...Take it, take it, take whatever you want. Take whatever you want, as much as you want!"

"Then I'll take a jar of dried strawberries~" she said, testing the limits of what was to come.

Lin Chunyi stared at her with a deathly gaze...

Lin Lanshan grinned and said, "Hehe, just kidding. No more, no more, that's enough. Let's go, sister~"

"Try taking out a small amount to test it. I don't know if it will taste good after baking. I'm afraid it will be a waste if it doesn't taste good," Lin Chunyi said, adding that she also wanted to try the crispy dried strawberries.

……

Lin Lanshan carried a basket of food, and Lin Chunyi carried a pile of firewood. The two of them went to the place where the oven was set up.

It's neither like a cat nor a dog, but it's an oven with ears, and it's completely dried out.

They tore off all the leaves from the outside, leaving the leaf veins, which looked quite pretty.

Then, he gently turned the wooden sticks off the two ears a few times and carefully took them out.

The entire cave dwelling, from the entrance to the cave entrance, was blocked with dry straw. Now, all it takes is to burn it, and it will be ready to use.

Lin Chunyi took out a lighter and said excitedly, "It's lit!"

"Yes, I'm ready." Lin Lanshan also held a lighter, feeling very excited.

One person stood on each side, and the two of them simultaneously placed their lighters in front of the dry grass at the kiln entrance.

Like a grand ceremony, "Snap!" they lit the fire at the same time.

The flame from the lighter had barely touched the hay when it burst into flames.

The flames devoured the hay, making a soft crackling sound.

The red glow of the oven that flashed in the eyes of the two sisters was scorching and intense.

In less than the blink of an eye, thick white smoke billowed from the two handles of the oven.

"Hahaha, we have an oven now! Cough cough..." Lin Lanshan laughed loudly, but was choked by the smoke blown by the wind.

Lin Chunyi grinned foolishly at the oven, her mind racing with countless ideas of food she could bake.

Everything can be baked!

After the smoke dissipated, a black ring was burned around the entrance of the oven.

They bent down and peered inside; it was pitch black, they couldn't see clearly, and the air was pungent.

Lin Chunyi put in a few chopped firewood pieces and some broken twigs, then placed a handful of dry grass near the door and lit it.

"Sis, we forgot to install a door. What are we going to use to block the doorway later?" Lin Lanshan squatted on the ground, staring at the fire in the oven.

"Let's find a flat stone to block it first, and see if we can find something more suitable tomorrow."

They went to find a rock and returned, then continued to squat and wait. When the firewood inside had burned down to almost nothing, they used a stick to separate the ashes from the charcoal.

Lin Lanshan placed two potatoes at the doorway, and Lin Chunyi pushed them inside with a stick.

Two more ears of corn were pushed in, followed by four eggs covered in a layer of mud.

Their idea was that if you're going to fry an egg, just seal it up tightly so it has nowhere to fry...

"Let's put these in for now. It's very hot inside now. If we put in soybeans and melon seeds, they'll probably burn to a crisp very quickly."

Lin Chunyi stopped her sister from grabbing a handful of soybeans to put inside, and then blocked the doorway with a stone.

Lin Lanshan tossed the soybeans back into the bag and said, "Okay, how long do we have to wait before we can eat them?"

"How would I know? I'll just move the stone away every now and then to check."

Half an incense stick later, Lin Lanshan moved the stone. She poked the potato with a stick; it wasn't cooked...

Another half incense stick's time passed, and Lin Chunyi moved the stone away. She used the same method, but it still wasn't cooked...

Lin Lanshan took a deep breath of the scent that was seeping out from the crack in the doorway.

The firewood smells sweet like corn.

"Sis, I smell corn! Is it possible that the potatoes are already cooked even though they're not?"

"I'll take one out and see, then I'll know." Lin Chunyi moved the stone away again and used a stick to pull out an ear of corn.

They had peeled the corn beforehand, leaving only the outer husk, and now most of the husk is burnt black.

Lin Lanshan slurped, "It smells so good...it's so hot!" She touched the corn husk to peel it off, but burned her fingertips.

"You're going to be this silly about food for the rest of your life, aren't you?"

Every time I get burned, I still have to grab it with my bare hands. Lin Chunyi used a twig to peel back the corn husks, revealing the slightly black, golden corn kernels inside.

The aroma wafted out with the steam, and the two sisters squatted on either side of the corn cob, their mouths watering.
