340: Hawthorn Cake

After hearing Su Han's words, Bi Yao's lips curved slightly upward, her eyes filled with reliance and trust.

She leaned gently against Su Han's shoulder, feeling the warm morning sun on her body, her heart filled with peace.

"Su Han, what should we do today?"

Bi Yao raised her head and asked, blinking her watery big eyes.

Su Han thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about we go deeper into the mountain valley and see if we can find some wild fruits?

Although the grilled fish yesterday was delicious, it felt like something was missing."

Upon hearing this, Bi Yao immediately became excited and jumped up happily: "Okay, okay, I love looking for wild fruits.

Maybe we can even find some special ones."

Hand in hand, the two slowly walked along the path in the mountain valley.

Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light and shadow on the ground.

Along the way, Bi Yao was like a cheerful little bird, looking here, touching there, and occasionally letting out cries of surprise.

Su Han watched her with a smile from the side, his eyes full of doting affection.

Suddenly, Bi Yao stopped under a tree, pointed at the strings of bright red fruits on the tree, and shouted excitedly: "Su Han, look, it's wild hawthorn!"

Su Han walked up, looked carefully, and said with a smile: "That's right, these are wild hawthorns.

But this tree is a bit tall, I'll go up and pick them, you catch them below."

With that, Su Han used his lightness skill, leaped lightly, and landed on a branch.

He carefully picked the hawthorns, handing them one by one to Bi Yao under the tree.

Bi Yao looked up, cupping the hem of her clothes with both hands, happily catching them.

"Su Han, be careful, don't fall."

While catching the hawthorns, Bi Yao did not forget to remind Su Han.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Su Han replied with a smile, but his movements became even more careful.

Before long, they had picked a whole pocketful of hawthorns.

Bi Yao picked one up, put it in her mouth, and the sweet and sour taste instantly spread, making her can't help but frown.

"It's so sour," Bi Yao said while eating another one.

Su Han looked at Bi Yao's cute appearance and couldn't help but laugh: "If you think it's sour, don't eat it.

We'll take these hawthorns back and make hawthorn jelly, it will definitely be delicious."

Bi Yao's eyes lit up: "Really? You can make hawthorn jelly?"

Su Han nodded: "A little. When I was wandering in the martial arts world before, I often made my own food."

Returning to the temporary camp, Su Han began to make hawthorn jelly.

He first washed the hawthorns, removed the seeds, and then put them in a pot with water to boil until soft.

Bi Yao helped from the side, handing him various tools from time to time.

Watching Su Han operate skillfully, Bi Yao was filled with admiration: "Su Han, you're amazing, you can do everything."

Su Han smiled and said: "This is nothing, I'll make you more delicious food in the future."

After the hawthorns were boiled soft, Su Han used a spoon to mash them into a paste, then added an appropriate amount of sugar and starch, and stirred evenly.

Next, he poured the hawthorn paste into a mold and put it in a steamer to steam until cooked.

Before long, a sweet aroma filled the air.

Bi Yao took a deep breath and said intoxicatedly: "It smells so good, I can't wait to eat it."

After the hawthorn jelly was steamed, Su Han took it out and set it aside to cool.

While waiting, he and Bi Yao sat by the stream together, put their feet into the clear water, and felt the coolness of the flowing water.

Bi Yao gently splashed the water with her feet, creating small ripples.

She turned her head, looked at Su Han, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

Su Han held Bi Yao's hand.

After the hawthorn jelly cooled, Su Han cut it into small pieces and handed it to Bi Yao.

Bi Yao picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and the soft, sweet, and delicious taste made her nod repeatedly: "It's too delicious, Su Han, you're simply a great chef."

Su Han smiled and said: "As long as you like it."(End of Chapter)
