Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 535: Snake Meat Tastes This Good?!

Chapter 535: Chapter 535: Snake Meat Tastes This Good?!

Jiang Li’s snake meat was almost roasted.

Shang Shuyue had also recovered from her nausea and automatically retreated to ten meters away, exchanging 100 points for a loaf of bread that could barely stave off hunger.

She’d rather go hungry than eat the snake meat!

The snake meat had been roasted to a golden brown. Jiang Li flipped it over, sprinkled some wild pepper and lemongrass on top and finished with a bit of salt, instantly unleashing the full fragrance of the meat.

Bai Lu was attracted by the smell.

"My goodness, Lili, how did you make the snake meat smell so good!"

She truly deserved to be her idol; she was good at everything!

And the sweet-talking Bai Lu naturally received her reward—Jiang Li cleaned the knife and cut off a small piece of meat from the belly to hand over to her.

"Give it a try."

Although Bai Lu was still a bit resistant, she was extremely hungry at that moment and couldn’t refuse something directly handed to her by her idol.

So, she directly took it and stuffed the entire piece of meat into her mouth.

The freshly roasted snake meat was very hot, but surprisingly, there was no fishy smell. Instead, it was very savory, the meat was firm and springy, a bit like the texture of chicken wings but ten times more delicious than chicken.

Bai Lu’s eyes lit up.

"I had no idea snake meat could be this tasty!"

Jiang Li smiled, "Of course, after all, my cooking skills are not ordinary."

"Hey, you guys secretly ate meat without calling me!" The aroma attracted another greedy dog.

But this time, Jiang Yan didn’t gulp it down. Instead, he opened his watch, posed for a selfie with the whole snake on the rack, and then snatched the knife from Jiang Li to cut a piece for himself.

The moment he tasted it, he nodded continually, "Damn, it’s delicious, sis. Your cooking skills are awesome, you made the snake meat taste so good!"

Compared to him, Yu Li was much more gentlemanly.

He took out a folding knife, wiped it again and again on a handkerchief, then examined the python carefully for a while and chose what looked like the best spot to precisely cut off evenly sized pieces of meat.

When his bowl was almost full of snake meat, he dug out a pair of silver chopsticks from somewhere, then handed both the bowl and chopsticks to Jiang Li.

"Captain, you should eat first."

Jiang Li was extremely surprised, "For me?"

Yu Jiepi actually offered his own silver chopsticks for her to use?

Yu Li nodded and smiled, "Yes, for you. After all, you’ve worked hard killing and cooking the snake."

Yu Li appeared amiable and kindly, but he was actually calculating for his own benefit.

He was so good and attentive to Jiang Li, perhaps after leaving this island, she wouldn’t treat him like a stranger and cut him off, right?

Just let her feel guilty; then he could rightfully cling to her coattails.

He was indeed clever!

[? Am I blind? Since when has Old Yu been so considerate?]

[Has the perennial iron tree finally bloomed? Instead of Old Yu, this hardcore master you’ve found, fighting the jungle python barehanded.]

[Ah, I can’t stand it, Lili belongs to Movie Emperor, they are the White Moonlight couple!]

[? Sister Li clearly belongs with Daniu. Don’t you understand the value in a couple that endures hardship together?]

[? So am I the only one focused on how delicious their snake meat actually looks?]

Not far away, Shang Shuyue was also enticed by the aroma.

She had thought snake meat might smell good but had no idea it could smell this good.

When ravenous, and with such a strong meaty aroma lingering by, it was very hard for anyone to restrain themselves.

Shang Shuyue looked down at the whole wheat bread in her hands, and at that moment, she couldn’t bring herself to take another bite.

Maybe... she could try a bit?

It’s not like it would kill her.

Thinking this, Shang Shuyue slowly moved forward.

Jiang Li noticed her right away, silver chopsticks in hand, and somewhat amused, he raised his eyebrows at her.

"So, can’t get that bread down?"

Caught in the act, Shang Shuyue turned her head away in embarrassment, "No, that’s not it. It’s just a bit dry, and I wanted to get some water to drink."

"I see," Jiang Li pretended to understand, nodding his head, then picked up a large piece of snake meat. "But we can’t finish all this ourselves, it’d be a waste to just throw it away. Why don’t you try some?"

Shang Shuyue stubbornly stood her ground, "What does that have to do with me..."

"Alright then, I’ll throw it away."

Jiang Li pretended to throw the meat on the ground.

"Don’t—"

Shang Shuyue hurriedly ran forward, snatched the meat, and stuffed it into her mouth, her words muffled, "Jiang Li, you’re being too wasteful. How could you—"

Her eyes suddenly widened, "This meat..."

Bai Lu, already relishing the food with oily lips, looked up, "What’s with the meat?"

Shang Shuyue looked at her in astonishment, "This meat is surprisingly delicious?!"

The imagined disgust was nowhere to be found, replaced by a mouthful of rich flavor, instantly opening the doors to a new world for her.

Bai Lu laughed, "Could Lili’s cooking be anything but delicious?"

Then, she pulled her to sit down beside her, "There’s a lot more, Sister Yue, take your time. What’s the point of bread? Better to eat the meat."

By this point, Shang Shuyue had completely succumbed to the deliciousness of the snake meat, nodding in agreement, "Indeed, what’s so good about bread?"

Bai Lu continued to "tempt" her with a smiling gaze, "And? Don’t you think Lili’s cooking skills are impressive?"

Shang Shuyue kept nodding, "Indeed, Jiang Li’s cooking is really good."

After saying that, she realized what she had said.

But on second thought, Jiang Li did cook better than her, especially regarding the python, which she wouldn’t even dare to catch, let alone grill.

Admitting that wasn’t a bad thing at all.

The fans could see right through Bai Lu’s little schemes.

[Lulu, it’s one thing for you to be a lackey yourself, but trying to drag someone else down with you too!]

[Can’t bear to watch this, finally became a fan of a gem of an actress, and she’s all about chasing her idol.]

[Yay, another general joins Sister Li’s fan club!]

The group sat around the fire, thoroughly enjoying their meal.

Halfway through eating, Yu Li pulled out five crudely made sachets from behind.

"These are sachets I made just now with herbs we found on the way. Everyone should hang one on. They won’t stop the pythons, but they can fend off the smaller bugs and mosquitoes."

Everyone eagerly took one, once again appreciating the benefits of having a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner in the team!

The inner area had twice as many insects as the outer part, and if not for them wearing long clothes and applying the ointment Jiang Li had made beforehand, they would have been bitten all over by now.

However, the next second—

Jiang Yan slapped and killed a giant mosquito sucking blood on his ankle.

"Damn, Yu Li, did you mix something fake in my sachet? Why are there still so many mosquitoes biting me?!"
