[ Lan Wangji had caught some more fish in the river, and had cut up chilis, peppers, onions, garlic, and all sorts of aromatics, had ladled hot oil over all of it, and steamed it to cook the rest of the way.
He'd also found a wild fowl in the forest, had placed it in with some wild grains that he'd managed to find, and slices of the lotus root. It had been difficult to make this without soy sauce, but mushrooms and salt almost did the trick, and though it wasn't quite as sticky as it should be, lotus paste helped that along as well, and wrapped in one big leaf, it almost was the same as if he'd make it at home.
Finally, he'd made doughs of the wheat, and had instead of making buns, made wheat gluten sauteed with various vegetables that he's sure Wei Ying will just ignore, and with the washed portion of flour, made flat jellylike noodles, which he'd made into a spicy liangpi.
There's a full spread waiting for Wei Ying, when he returns. ]
