The bandits nearby raised their knives as a warning, and the noise stopped immediately.

Everyone witnessed Jiang Jinhe and his group leave, and the dungeon returned to darkness. Jiang Jinhe no longer cared about the criticism behind him.

After they were released from prison, the head of the household arranged accommodation for them in the bandit camp.

Wang Dasao and others were moved to tears of gratitude. After Jiang Jinhe settled them, he took Song Wenqin and others back to his residence.

With safety guaranteed, Song Yuyu settled the sleeping Yue'er down, and then impatiently pulled Jiang Jinhe to ask questions.

"Sister-in-law, what good thing have you done to make those people treat us so respectfully?"

Xiaolan nodded along, her big round eyes sparkling with curiosity.

Jiang Jinhe glanced at Song Wenqin and saw that he also looked curious. She couldn't help but smile again and shared her little plan.

"What? You can eat leeches?"

Song Yuyu and Xiaolan stared at Jiang Jinhe in disbelief, their brows furrowed and their faces filled with discomfort.

Jiang Jinhe suppressed her laughter and nodded, paying particular attention to Song Wenqin's reaction.

Song Wenqin, who usually keeps his emotions secret, couldn't help but reveal a look of disgust.

This made Jiang Jinhe even more excited.

"Since you don't believe me, I'll just open your eyes. Come on, I'll take you somewhere now."

After saying that, she opened the door and led everyone up the mountain.

Song Yuyu glanced at the child, who was sleeping soundly. She guessed that the child would not wake up in the short term, so she followed Jiang Jinhe out without worry.

Jiang Jinhe borrowed tools and led everyone up the mountain to catch leeches, and along the way he also taught them the knowledge of identifying food.

Jiang Jinhe even picked up the various insects that emerged from the rain and introduced them in detail.

"This bug is very nutritious and is the perfect choice when you're extremely hungry."

Everyone looked at Jiang Jinhe, who was unfamiliar but explaining seriously. The surprise on their faces had not faded since they went up the mountain.

After catching enough leeches, the group returned.

On the way, Jiang Jinhe did not forget to promote her "delicacies".

"Don't underestimate these guys. They are very nutritious. If you have them all the time, you won't go hungry."

Jiang Jinhe shook the leech in the jar and continued:

"Some people raise these things specifically, and they're sold for a very high price in some places. But now they're free, and they're made by my chef, so you can be happy."

With amazing willpower, Song Wenqin suppressed the disgust in his heart and did not let his expression show.

Song Yuyu and Xiaolan couldn't control themselves anymore. The thought of eating that slippery, blood-sucking dirty thing made them gag at the same time.

Jiang Jinhe was amazed and jokingly said:

"Oh, you don't know how to enjoy good things. I'll make it later. Don't fight over it."

The two of them leaned against a tree, waving their hands to refuse, obviously unwilling to try.

After returning to her residence, Jiang Jinhe immediately started cooking again.

Some is left in the pot for those attracted by the aroma to taste, and the rest is put on a plate and sent to their rooms.

As a result, no matter how Song Yuyu and Xiaolan persuaded him, he refused to touch it.

They covered their noses and mouths and kept dodging.

Fortunately, Song Wenqin gave him face. When he picked up the chopsticks, he moved his throat and reluctantly took a bite.

The leeches processed by Jiang Jinhe are completely different from those in the wild.

He closed his eyes tightly and put the food into his mouth, then opened them with a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Song Wenqin chewed it with big mouthfuls, his mouth full of spicy flavor. The taste was both tough and chewy.

The slight spiciness makes you want to stop eating it, one bite after another.

Song Wenqin quickly took the second and third bites.

Jiang Jinhe on the side watched with a smile, while Song Yuyu and Xiaolan, who were hiding in the corner, stared at Song Wenqin in amazement as he ate with relish.

Xiaolan couldn't hold it in any longer, and saw Song Wenqin finish half a plate of dishes in a short while.

She hurried over, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The same bite made her fall completely.

"Hey! It smells so good! It's so delicious! This is the first time I've eaten such delicious food!"

Xiaolan's mouth was full of food and her speech was unclear.

Jiang Jinhe's smile became even wider, and her gaze turned to Song Yuyu who was still hiding in the corner.

Song Yuyu swallowed, still half believing and half doubting.

Jiang Jinhe walked straight towards her, pulled Song Yuyu up and dragged her to the dining table.

"Come on, Yuyu, give it a try. Don't you trust my cooking skills?"

Jiang Jinhe pulled and said that she would make Yu Yu submit to her cooking today!

If it were in modern society, she would never be so unreasonable, but now that leeches are about to become their main source of food, Song Yuyu must overcome this psychological barrier.

Jiang Jinhe smiled and forced a small piece into her mouth.

The spicy taste quickly captured Song Yuyu. She chewed it carefully, and the charming flavor immediately won her over.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at Jiang Jinhe, then glanced at Song Wenqin and Xiaolan, and then joined the army scrambling for food.

As a chef, Jiang Jinhe was extremely happy to see this scene.

After the three of them had enjoyed the delicious food, Jiang Jinhe began to deploy new tasks.

Catch leeches! The more the better.

Not only did they personally take part in the battle, Jiang Jinhe also mobilized other free people on the mountain to join in.

In addition to daily consumption, Jiang Jinhe also tries to make these ingredients into a form that is easy to preserve.

Dry or grind into powder.

Whether it is cooking porridge, stir-frying or making soup, it is extremely convenient.

In order to gain the trust of the boss, Jiang Jinhe specially found the cooks and people who were willing to learn from the mountain and taught them.

How to deal with leeches and various cooking methods.

Under the guidance of Jiang Jinhe, everyone greatly improved the food during the practice.

Everyone was satisfied with the meal and became more active in catching leeches.

When everyone adds fuel to the fire, the flames grow brighter, and soon they have enough food stored for a long time.

There are almost no leeches wandering around in the mountains anymore.

Jiang Jinhe also suggested to the boss that a special area be opened up in the back mountain to cultivate leeches.

These creatures do not require special care; simply provide a suitable living environment and they will reproduce and thrive on their own.

Normally, you just need to control their number and avoid excessive growth.

Even if it really floods, it will only help them increase their food supply.

The people on the mountain had no worries about this.

Indeed, in the eyes of us Chinese, there is no such thing as biological invasion, and anything can be eaten to the point of extinction by us.

The boss is now very grateful to Jiang Jinhe.

"Miss, thank you so much. Let's prepare some good food tonight and treat you well!"

Jiang Jinhe declined with a smile.

"Boss, this is inappropriate. We are in a time of scarcity, how can we afford to be extravagant and wasteful?"

"Girl, just listen to me. We're rough around the edges and don't know how to express our gratitude. Everything has been arranged. I hope you'll do me the honor of attending. I'll send someone to invite you tonight. You and your partner must come along!"
