Not far outside Shrek Academy's East Gate, there was a river.
There was an open stretch of land by the river, with short grass that made it perfect for a picnic.
Xue Lingyun found a level spot, crouched down, and began taking things out.
Pots, bowls, ladles, basins, seasonings, ingredients, charcoal fire, even a cutting board... He took them out of the Storage Soul Tool one by one, spreading them across the ground.
Wang Dong's eyes went wide. "You brought all this? Is your Storage Soul Tool a kitchen?"
Xue Lingyun ignored her and started the fire.
Huo Yuhao naturally crouched down beside him to help.
He took the vegetables Xue Lingyun handed him and brought them to the river to wash.
After washing them, he brought them back and watched Xue Lingyun cut them.
Wang Dong crouched nearby, watched for a while, then asked, "What are we eating today?"
Xue Lingyun pointed at the pile of ingredients beside him. "Grilled fish, grilled meat, and soup."
Wang Dong's eyes lit up. "There's soup too?"
Xue Lingyun gave a grunt and took another small pot out of the Storage Soul Tool, setting it over another fire.
Xiao Xiao stood nearby, looking a little lost.
Xue Lingyun glanced up at her and casually handed her a handful of green vegetables. "Xiao Xiao, help me wash these."
Xiao Xiao paused for a moment, then took the vegetables, walked to the riverbank, crouched down, and began washing them carefully.
Wang Dong leaned over for a look and asked, "You know how to wash vegetables?"
Xiao Xiao nodded. "I often helped mom cook at home."
Wang Dong gave an "oh," then ran back to crouch beside the fire and watch Xue Lingyun grill.
Huo Yuhao returned after washing the vegetables, and Xue Lingyun took them
