On this hunt, Xi caught two long-eared rabbits and two baskets of seafood.
Since Ling Hong, the one in charge of cooking, wasn't home, and Xi wasn't good at processing the innards of land animals, the very self-aware Little Merfolk stored the two long-eared rabbits in the ice cellar, waiting for An Jin to return and decide what to do with them.
He turned the two baskets of easier-to-handle seafood into a massive seafood platter.
Making the seafood platter was actually simple. Xi had seen Ling Hong make one before and had secretly committed the process to memory.
He just had to clean the crabs, scallops, shrimp, and fish, then steam them directly over the fire until they were cooked, and finally sprinkle on the all-purpose sauce An Jin kept in the kitchen.
For his first attempt, it turned out surprisingly well.
While waiting for her to get home, Xi had already thoughtfully filled two bowls with shrimp meat, crab roe, and crab meat from the two large baskets of seafood.
