Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower-Chapter 583: Extraordinary Background

Lady Lin hurriedly jumped down from the wall top, and the children also disappeared one after another with loud noises following her.

When Bai Junjun sat down beside the fire pit sharpening her knife, the door was knocked on and then Lady Lin barged in leading five little radishes without invitation.

"Neighbors, I’ve brought you housewarming gifts."

As she spoke, Lady Lin had the children hand over the bamboo baskets.

Xiao Chan, acting as representative, took the baskets.

The Seven-Person Team now knew who really called the shots, so Xiao Chan directly brought the items to Bai Junjun.

Bai Junjun glanced at the basket in astonishment.

She was very familiar with these items!

In Fubo City, Li Wenli had made them, beeswax candles.

"This is my exclusive skill. Here in the Imperial Capital, one candle is worth its weight in gold. Many nobles beg me to make them," she said proudly.

Lady Lin was incredibly proud, and a sense of pride was also evident in the children’s eyes.

Upon seeing the candles, Bai Lingyu suddenly remembered his distant friend in Dai County, Xiao Shan, and said, "I have seen this kind of candle before."

"How could that be possible!" exclaimed Lady Lin with wide eyes.

"I..."

Bai Lingyu was about to speak when Bai Junjun answered first.

"We know someone who makes candles. Not just him—the whole village uses them."

Lady Lin took a couple of steps back, looking utterly devastated.

She had thought this was a unique trade secret.

She had made a living off this, traveling north and south for years—heavens, just to make ends meet.

Who knew that others knew this craft as well?

"I wonder where you found these honeycombs," Li Wenli asked, his face breaking into a sly grin.

"Famous Scholar Mountain," Lady Lin blurted out instinctively.

Realizing she had even divulged the location, she retreated further, truly frustrated by the untimely disclosure. Winning no battles but only losing the rice meant to lure the chicken:

"Anyway... anyway, what’s left is really difficult to handle, I doubt you’d get any, knowing it’s from Famous Scholar Mountain doesn’t help."

Over the past year, they had poked through all the easy-to-reach beehives; what remained were indeed challenging to tackle.

"..." Li Wenli nodded with a smile, "That’s true. Lady Lin, please have a seat."

Li Wenli was grilling a large flank steak, the last stock in the Space.

The group had almost exclusively eaten grilled meat on their journey, which although delicious, was hard to sustain continuously.

So, Li Wenli planned to have one last feast tonight, and would start cooking in the kitchen from tomorrow onward.

Therefore, he had taken out a large chunk of beef for grilling.

Just as he worried about how they would finish it, Lady Lin appeared over the wall.

Thinking that they also lacked some daily necessities, Li Wenli took a gamble.

And the gamble paid off, as Lady Lin indeed had some good stuff.

Candles, though easy to make, were a recipe not yet discovered by the ancients.

Li Wenli gave Lady Lin a meaningful look, further convinced of her extraordinary background.

Right now, the steak sizzled as it cooked, and Bai Sasa, using a long wooden spoon, continuously caught the dripping animal fat and collected it all into a jar.

Lady Lin raised an eyebrow, "You’re already collecting animal fat for lighting, what need have you for other lighting materials?"

"This burns quickly and will be gone in a few days," Li Wenli responded matter-of-factly.

Lady Lin had nothing to say; animal fat indeed burned quickly and was particularly wasteful, but she hadn’t seen such well-prepared youngsters.

However, once the meat was served, Lady Lin had no time to think about anything else.

It was simply a five-star grilled steak!
