Everyone Wants to Pamper the Lucky Daughter - Chapter 504
Chapter 504: Chapter 503: Spending the night in a cave, enjoying the harmonious atmosphere_1
Lin Jinyun poured flour and water into the basin, skillfully stirring with chopsticks, and in no time, mixed it into a soft dough.
Lin Jinlong helped his fourth brother wash the vegetables and cut them into thin shreds.
When the water boiled, Lin Jinyun used chopsticks to separate the dough into strips and put them into the pot.
The dough knots gradually took shape in the water. When they were almost cooked, she added vegetables, their white and green colors alternating. She sprinkled some salt, and the sight of it stimulated everyone’s appetite.
With so many people, a large pot of dough knots was only enough for one bowl per person.
Lin Jinyun first served a bowl to her little sister and the Little Prince, leaving the rest for her older brothers. She continued to work, separating the dough with chopsticks and cooking another pot.
Lin Qingluo and the Little Prince had small appetites, so one bowl was enough for them.
The older brothers had large appetites, so one bowl wasn’t enough. They laughed and joked around, holding their bowls and waiting for pot after pot to be ready.
Wang Meng waited for four pots and ate four bowls. When he finally wrapped a dumpling in the fifth pot, he was full. He patted his round belly and let out a satisfied burp.
Lin Qingluo smiled as she watched her brothers joking and laughing. She fed the eight horses, and lit four fires inside the cave.
She took ready-made bedding from her Storage Bracelet and placed one on either side of each fire, instructing everyone to sleep next to the fires.
There was a strong wind at night, so she used her Spiritual Power to seal the cave entrance, blocking the bitterly cold wind. She left a hole, the size of a bowl, for Little Kingfisher to go in and out.
With the entrance sealed, the cave gradually warmed up, and the four fires burned vigorously, driving away the bone-chilling cold.
“Sister, let me help you lay out the bedding.”
The Little Prince felt sorry for his sister, who was busy all the time and had no time to rest, so he took the initiative to help her.
“Xuan’er is so well-behaved.”
Lin Qingluo’s warm smile showed her doting nature as she rubbed his little head.
The Little Prince felt delighted in his heart as he laid out the bedding for his sister and added fresh firewood to the fire.
After traveling through the icy snow all day, everyone was exhausted. They filled their stomachs, gathered around the fire, and dozed off.
The Little Prince stayed close to his sister, helping her sort out the medicinal plants she had harvested from the snowy mountains during the day.
The Northern Territory Mountain Range was bitterly cold with steep mountains throughout the year, making it sparsely populated.
Innumerable medicinal plants grew in the deep mountain valleys. Due to the scarcity of collectors, rare plants were able to survive.
Lin Qingluo’s light skills were exceptional, and, with Little Kingfisher’s guidance, it took no effort to harvest the medicinal plants from the cliffs.
In just one day, she had collected dozens of hundred-year-old plants, and even luckily found two thousand-year-old Lingzhi Mushrooms.
With the Little Prince’s help, she sorted the plants and stored them in a white jade box.
The firelight highlighted his earnest little face, bringing joy to those who saw him.
After organizing the medicinal plants and putting them into the storage ring, Lin Qingluo affectionately rubbed the Little Prince’s head, her eyes filled with concern. “Xuan’er, are you tired? Let’s go to sleep.”
“I’m a little tired.”
The Little Prince rubbed his eyes and yawned.
“If you’re tired, go to sleep.”
Lin Qingluo indulgently smiled and pulled back the quilt, watching him lie down fully clothed.
“Sister, will we reach Phoenix Pass tomorrow?”
The Little Prince wrapped himself tightly in his quilt, turned comfortably, and looked at his sister with a tilted head.
“Yes, we should be able to reach it tomorrow.”
Lin Qingluo doted on him with a smile and carefully tucked him in.
“Sister, you should go to sleep early too.”
The Little Prince burrowed into the warm quilt, and it didn’t take long for his eyelids to become heavy, closing his eyes in a daze.
“Okay.”
Lin Qingluo smiled with relief, got up and went to Lin Jinyun’s side, helping her clean up the pots and dishes.
“Little sister, you rest. I’ll do it.”
Overhearing the noise, Lin Jinlong’s sleepiness vanished. He quickly took the bowls and chopsticks from his sister’s hands and started cleaning them up himself.
