Chapter 192: Getting A Main Dish
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Gu Mengmeng followed Collin to the sweet potato field, she felt that her life was simply too fortunate.
Main dish, it’s a damn main dish!
She shook Elvis’s arm in agitation and pointed at the sweet potato, speechless.
Elvis ruffled Gu Mengmeng’s hair in a indulging way and then looked back slightly, giving off an eye signal. The next moment, the crowd of males behind him went forward and started plucking the sweet potatoes with both their hands.
Why was there a crowd of them? Ha ha ha, all of them heard Sandy and Collin’s conversation and who would not want to grab hold of this opportunity to perform well? If they really could find favor in Gu Mengmeng’s eyes before winter, that was simply walking to the peak of life. Even if they failed to do so, being able to serve the First Beauty of the tribe was an honorable achievement.
The whole afternoon, Gu Mengmeng was in charge of giggling foolishly in Elvis’s arms and then watching how the males delivered the mountain of sweet potatoes back to Saint Nazaire in bulks. Under Gu Mengmeng’s persistence, they brought back the sweet potato leaves as well.
When they returned back to Saint Nazaire, Oakley and Bode had already come back and were storing the extracted honey in the pots and bowls at Gu Mengmeng’s house. Sandy followed behind Bode closely with her two eyes spewing hearts and kisses so that she could sneak a few mouthfuls of honey Bode secretly gave her at times.
Gu Mengmeng went forward to greet them joyfully and then handed a sweet potato that was washed clean to Sandy. Sandy took the sweet potato and immediately took a mouthful of it without saying anything. Then, she exclaimed in surprise, “So sweet!”
Gu Mengmeng pointed to her back with her thumb and turned behind to let Sandy see the mountain of sweet potatoes. The next moment, Sandy hugged onto Gu Mengmeng happily while leaping on the spot.
Gu Mengmeng said, “I definitely can’t finish everything by myself so you and Maya can bring some back to store it for winter. I’ll share the rest with the males in the tribe.”
The males in the tribe were all taken aback. Since ancient times, only the males were in charge of finding food for the females, there was no male who ate the food females brought back.
Although none of these sweet potatoes were being plucked by Gu Mengmeng, they were still hers.
Sandy was not happy, and she twitched her lips and said, “We already can’t eat the prey the males hunted for winter. Can we just… share all of these between the three of us?”
Gu Mengmeng found it funny as she asked, “There’s at least over a thousand pounds of it. Can you finish eating so many of it?”
Sandy looked at the sweet potatoes and then recalled the crispy feel in her mouth before swallowing her saliva and nodding her head.
Gu Mengmeng face-palmed as she laughed helplessly, “You little foodie, won’t you be scared of getting heartburn from eating sweet potatoes this entire winter? Are you not eating the fish and meat we preserved?”
Glancing at the water shuttles and the various meat hung up on the tree, Sandy blinked and rubbed her stomach saying, “Then, let’s share a little with them… but only a little.”
Gu Mengmeng smiled and said, “Alright, let’s share a little with them.”
Maya walked to Gu Mengmeng and asked timidly, “Gu Mengmeng, I don’t want the sweet potato, can you share the leaves with me?”
Gu Mengmeng looked back and saw Maya pointing at the sweet potato leaves before asking her, “You like to eat them?”
Maya nodded her head, her eyes filled with thirst.
Gu Mengmeng replied readily, “Can, there’s a lot of it. I’ll leave some to make soup and you can share the rest with Sandy.”
Sandy immediately opened her mouth to speak, “I don’t want the leaves, you can take my share. But can you give me your sweet potatoes?”
Maya nodded and the two of them made a pleasant agreement.
