Chapter 81 Eating in the Wild 2
Unbeknownst to Hera and the crew, as Hera introduced various items on the show, viewers began searching for them online. Soon, the stocks were depleted. Initially, it was out of mere curiosity, but as people recognized their usefulness and space efficiency, others began purchasing them for personal use as well.
Leaving the online platform with a sense of satisfaction, having witnessed a significant surge in sold items across their inventory. Soon, demand for Hera’s promotions skyrocketed, but they still didn’t know which company she belonged to because UE still hadn’t released that specific info.
"Did your grandfather teach you about these things too?" The old guide inquired as he handed back the lighter to Hera.
"No, not really. I just had a hunch that there might be some handy tools like these available, so I did some searching and found them online. Luckily, they exist. Carrying a big camping backpack around, especially in potentially dangerous situations, would be quite cumbersome, you know," Hera answered honestly.
Everyone nodded in agreement, but their conversation was cut short when Xavier handed Hera the 12 sticks he had sharpened. With Hera finished rubbing salt into the fish, she took the sticks and began skewering the fish, piercing the other end into the ground near the fire. She repeated this process until the bonfire was surrounded by fish on sticks.
Afterwards, she moved to fetch water for the pot to start cooking the mushroom soup to accompany the fish. While waiting for the water to boil, she diced the mushrooms, garlic, and shallots.
She diligently monitored the fish, ensuring they were cooked evenly, with the old guide lending a hand. Before long, the water reached a boil, prompting Hera to commence the preparation of the mushroom soup, skillfully adding the necessary ingredients.
To enhance its creaminess, she made sure to incorporate her favorite Ridiculous No.55 butter, cleverly concealed within her tactical belt bag. Although disguised as something else, it still occupied a considerable space in her gear.
The cameraman watched in disbelief as Hera boldly used the butter.
Feeling the incredulous gaze of the cameraman upon her, Hera spoke up."What? This hardly qualifies as a snack, let alone a food. It’s more like a condiment," Hera exclaimed, her thick skin evident as she refused to compromise on the quality of her food. She wasn’t one to back down, especially when it came to culinary matters.
[AuntieNextDoor: That’s a foodie for you... LOL]
