The four of them camped together, and none of the materials on the marrow-sucking eagle were wasted.
Tie Yu was pulled down and made into a simple tent, and the remaining flesh, flesh and bones were roasted directly on the huge bonfire.
Feng Xiao's barbecue method is very unique. Different from ordinary barbecue, she directly throws the marrow-sucking eagle into the fire.
Crackling~~~
Sparks were flying everywhere, and no one knew what was going on inside the bonfire.
"Can this thing really be eaten later?" A black line appeared on Li Xuanchen's forehead.
Sun Buwu pointed to the wolf carcass that had lost its legs on the roof of the car, "If it really doesn't work, I can still eat those two."
Wang Jun thought for a while and walked forward, "Sister Xiao, it's not good to mess around like this. I know another cooking method that will make it more delicious."
Feng Xiao's face was filled with suspicion. His left eyebrow was high and his right eyebrow was low. He examined it and said, "If you don't want to eat it, you don't have to eat it when it's baked later."
Nunu mouthed, aiming at the wolf corpse not far away, she continued: "Anyway, there may be other shortcomings in the wilderness, but there will definitely be no shortage of things to eat."
Wang Jun shook his head and kicked the ground.
A small stone stuck to the turf and crashed into the huge bonfire.
There was a crisp sound, and the fuel wood set up outside the bonfire rolled down a little, revealing a hole the size of a fist.
Wang Jun said: "Even if this thing is a deformed body, it will definitely not be able to withstand being thrown directly into the fire. Its meat is still of normal meat quality, but it is just more nutritious than ordinary animals."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Feng Xiao spread his hands, "This guy is too big. The kitchen utensils we brought cannot be loaded at all. How can we not grill the whole thing?"
Wang Jun pointed to the big tree like a canopy above his head and said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own clever plans. Sister Xiao, if you want to have a good meal, you have to listen to my command."
Feng Xiao grabbed Wang Jun's wrist, turned it over, and took a look.
"How can you cook with just your hands?"
"I started cooking for myself when I was very young." Wang Jun shrugged.
Both the original owner and himself were exposed to food preparation training when they were twelve or thirteen years old.
The former is forced by the living environment. Both parents are not alive, so of course the little boy can only learn to cook by himself.
The latter was also forced by his living environment. At that age, he was still in a killer training camp and had already gone through early childhood training.
The organization will no longer provide food. In other words, the food provided by the organization may not be edible. It is poisonous, or it comes from intentional poisoning by the organization, or it comes from other children who were trained in the same batch.
If you can't tell the difference, it's dead and it's just a waste of defective products.
After two lifetimes combined, although Wang Jun's cooking skills may not be as powerful as those of a star chef, he can definitely meet the needs of most cooked food production.
"Are you really sure?" Feng Xiao still didn't trust him very much. He squeezed Wang Jun's wrist and didn't let go, for fear that he would do something fancy.
Sun Buwu whispered: "Xuanchen, we have to help Ajun fight for it."
"Why?" Li Xuanchen lowered his voice, "I don't want to eat that stuff. It doesn't matter who makes it. If you don't eat it, you won't eat it."
Sun Buwu rolled his eyes and retorted in a low voice: "You are stupid, Ajun doesn't look like a person who can cook. What kind of thing can he make with that piece of crap?"
Li Xuanchen's desire to survive was very strong, and the brain in his head slowly started to work. After thinking for half a second, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand!"
"Yes, that's it. As long as Ajun is asked to make the marrow-sucking eagle and he messes up, we will have a legitimate reason to refuse to eat it." Sun Buwu gave a thumbs up, secretly proud of himself - I was the master of the plan.
Li Xuanchen's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he uttered a high-decibel syllable: "Ah!?"
"Ah, your mother," Sun Buwu's mouth twitched, "Do you really understand, or are you pretending to understand?"
"I really understand now." Li Xuanchen said honestly.
Sun Buwu: "..."
The huge bonfire was burning with blazing flames, and the warm firelight reflected on the faces of the four people, and seemed to complement the setting sun in the distance.
Dusk is also known as the time of encountering demons.
The moment when the sun is about to go down but doesn’t completely set is even more special.
In the wilderness, the wandering aberrations slowly retreated, as if they were afraid of something.
Flocks of strange birds in the sky flew in the afterglow of the setting sun. Their destination was not far away. It was a towering tree comparable to a small mountain, with an altitude of at least more than 300 meters.
The aberrant body in the river is as quiet as death, its body is stiff, and it slowly sinks into the mud, letting the mud bury itself.
The four-person team ultimately decided who would cook by voting.
The result was of course no surprise. Three to one, Wang Jun won completely.
"You will regret it," Feng Xiao raised his middle finger, "Cooking ingredients is an extremely complicated craft. If you don't leave it to experienced people, you will be in trouble with yourself."
"That's no need to worry about it." Sun Buwu grinned lightly.
Li Xuanchen finished his attack and said: "Ajun is a genius, the kind who can do anything. How difficult can a mere dish be? Can it be more difficult than curing the Evolutionary Sorrow?"
With a groan, Feng Xiao shook his head and left.
Arriving on the roof of the jeep, she used a knife to cut off the wolf meat and serve it as an appetizer for dinner.
Depending on the situation, wolf meat may be upgraded to a staple food or main dish at any time.
Snapped!
Li Xuanchen patted Wang Jun on the shoulder and said, "Ah Jun, you did a great job."
Wang Jun:???
Sun Buwu patted Wang Jun's other shoulder and said, "What a great idea. As expected of you, you are very quick in thinking."
Wang Jun's face was full of question marks.
"Don't act stupid, Sister Xiao is not here." Li Xuanchen winked.
Wang Jun said: "I really don't understand."
Looking carefully at Wang Jun's face, Sun Buwu said: "Don't you want to play with it casually and roast this strange bird to prevent the three of us from suffering from eating this bird thing?"
Uh, you two are so good at figuring things out... Wang Jun's complaints were suppressed in his heart, and he explained: "No..."
Li Xuanchen raised his palms and said, "Stop talking, you can do whatever you want, Brother Wu and I won't eat it anyway."
"Yes, if you don't eat it, no matter what you do, it will still be something with a weird human face and you won't be able to eat it." Sun Buwu nodded and walked towards the jeep.
When the two came closer, Feng Xiao refused the wolf meat and grinned:
"I have seen through your tricks."
Sun Buwu and Li Xuanchen pretended to be stupid together.
The former looked calm and did not answer.
The latter shrugged and said, "I don't know what you mean."
Feng Xiao clicked his tongue and patted the wolf corpse with his palm, "The remaining wolf meat is only enough for three people."
"When young people come to the wilderness, they should gain more experience." Sun Buwu pushed up his sunglasses and his voice sank into his chest, which was full of vicissitudes of life.
"Isn't this... inappropriate?" Li Xuanchen rubbed his hands back and forth.
"Tonight, someone will go hungry." Sun Buwu jumped onto the roof of the car, tore off a large piece of wolf meat, and started eating.
Feng Xiao glanced sideways at Li Xuanchen, "The one who is starving is Ajun or you, the choice is yours."
Holding his hands together, Li Xuanchen said: "It's good that the three of us separate. Ajun comes to the wilderness for the first time, and he is so young. He cannot be completely protected by our protective umbrella. He must understand that the environment in the wilderness is dangerous."
Wang Jun's attention was not focused on the three of them. In his mind, he was recalling a famous dish of the Big Foodie Empire - Beggar's Chicken.
How to make this thing is neither difficult nor simple.
Marinate the whole chicken, wrap it in lotus leaves, seal it with soil, and roast it over a high fire.
When going out into the wilderness, Wang Jun and others didn't carry much seasoning with them, but they had some.
Salt, pepper, sugar, soy sauce, there are only four kinds in total.
"Salt gives the base flavor, pepper removes the fishy smell, sugar enhances the flavor, and soy sauce enriches the taste, which is enough."
"Lotus leaves, if there are no lotus leaves big enough, use leaves instead."
"As for the soil, just dig a hole, bury the wrapped strange bird, and then suffocate it with the fierce fire of a huge bonfire."
Wang Jun talked to himself and clarified his plan. He first got the strange bird out of the bonfire, then climbed up the big tree next to it and picked off many leaves the size of a bathtub.
The leaves were spread flat on the ground, and Wang Jun called for the half-cooked marrow-sucking eagles to be washed with clean water.
In front of the three people's eyes, he took four seasonings from the car, applied them evenly on the body of the marrow-sucking eagle, and massaged it repeatedly with both hands.
On the roof of the jeep, Li Xuanchen shook off the wolf blood on his hands and asked, "What is Ajun doing?"
"Let's deal with the ingredients." Sun Buwu replied and continued to eat.
Feng Xiao ended his sweep like a whirlwind, leaving behind a wolf corpse with only a skeleton left. He burped lightly, shrugged and said:
"Ajun is indeed cooking. It looks quite like that. But, his way of cooking is only suitable for home-cooked meals and is not suitable for outdoor meals."
"There is no way to taste the food pickled in advance, and it is likely to be ruined."
"Experienced veterans usually grill it first, and then eat it with seasonings according to personal taste."
Li Xuanchen understood for half a second, then nodded and said: "In short, it's just unreliable."
Wang Jun's ears moved slightly and he didn't look back.
Click! Click! Click!
The butterfly knife fluttered and danced, spreading its wings and revealing its sharp edge.
The belly of the marrow-sucking eagle was hollowed out, and that part is where the weird mouthparts and weird human face might be.
Wang Jun glanced at it twice, but still felt that it was not straightforward enough, so he walked around the bird.
The marrow-sucking eagle is so big that the entire abdomen is not needed, and the finished chicken can be eaten by six to eight extraordinary beings with huge appetites.
Pulling out the dragon tooth dagger, Wang Jun raised the knife and drew his bow from left to right.
Brush! Brush! Brush...
The abdomen, the buttocks, and some unsightly internal organs were all separated.
The edible parts of the marrow-sucking eagle are wrapped in leaves, a pit is opened in the center of the campfire, and the wrapped "chicken" is thrown directly into the pit.
Fill in the soil, tamp it down a few times, and then reset the bonfire.
As the flames burned, Wang Jun turned his back to the flames, faced the jeep, and said with a smile: "You can eat in an hour."
Li Xuanchen raised the skeleton in his hand and said, "Ajun, I'm really a little hungry. I've already eaten in advance. Let's go get some sleep first. I have to keep vigil in the middle of the night."
Wang Jun's eyebrows rose slightly, "Huh?"
Li Xuanchen felt so guilty that he jumped to the back seat of the carriage and lay down flat.
The shadow reflected on the edge of the bonfire was like a devil's hand, reaching towards the jeep, firmly covering several windows, preventing any light from entering.
Wang Jun shifted his gaze and looked at Feng Xiao.
Patting the wolf's skeleton with his left hand and caressing its belly with his right hand, Feng Xiao said calmly: "I was so hungry just now that I couldn't hold it back. I also ate."
Faintly feeling the thoughts of his companions, Wang Jun's face twitched slightly and he turned around and said, "Brother Wu, what about you?"
Sun Buwu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, they ate so deliciously, so I just joined them."
After a brief pause, he smiled warmly and said, "You are a newbie, so you may not be used to eating raw food all the time, so I will leave this big bird to you alone."
Wang Jun: "You don't have a high opinion of my craftsmanship?"
"It's nothing," Sun Buwu turned his face to the side in a subtle way, "Ajun, don't think too much about it."
Feng Xiao shrugged and said nothing, but had a wicked smile on his face, as if to say:
"Hehehe, I'm waiting to see you get into trouble."
As the sun sets and the moon rises, the orange-red afterglow of the setting sun disappears at the end of the sky, and the bright moonlight first appears, piercing through the cracks in the sky in the east.
The huge bonfire seemed to be tainted with a layer of coolness, the wilderness became vast and empty, and all the aberrations that could be seen during the day were gone.
The light between heaven and earth has completed its alternation, but the encounter with the devil has not yet ended.
The ground rumbled and shook, the turf not far away split, the soil loosened, and an octagonal altar made of stones slowly rose.
The loud sound of the horn passed by my ears, the unintelligible shouts of killing grew louder and smaller, the air was filled with the smell of burning gasoline, and the turf on the ground was seeped with brown blood out of thin air.
Wang Jun's pupils shrank, and he felt like he was instantly on a battlefield.
Bullets passed through the air, swords slashed, and hazy shadows appeared, but nothing could touch him.
"Don't wander around, let alone go to the altar. You must restrain your curiosity." Feng Xiao came nearby quietly and held Wang Jun's shoulders.
Wang Jun looked back and realized that he was far away from the jeep and had unknowingly walked to the edge of the firelight from the bonfire.
"Sister Xiao, has this wilderness changed?"
"Your perception is very keen." Feng Xiao grinned and patted Wang Jun's shoulder hard, "There is a rule in the wilderness that all demigods must abide by."
Wang Jun hummed slightly, his rising nasal voice fully expressing his doubts.
Feng Xiao explained: "Lighting must be done at night, and it must be an open flame. Also, you must speak as quietly as possible."
"No wonder Sister Xiao, you built such a huge bonfire." Wang Jun smiled and walked back to the bonfire.
Sitting on the roof of the jeep, Sun Buwu waved and said, "Ajun, don't you want to know the reason?"
Wang Jun said: "I have to restrain my curiosity."
Feng Xiao followed Wang Jun's footsteps and sat next to the bonfire with his big horse and golden sword.
"Very good. With these words, you won't have too many accidents in the wilderness."
"That won't work. A strong man must never lose his curiosity."
Sun Buwu jumped up, took a step in the air, and stood next to the bonfire.
Pointing to the stone altar not far away, he said: "This thing is called the Wilderness Altar. It belongs to the Wilderness Temple. It is a very ancient force. They are born in the wilderness and grow up in the wilderness. They constantly fight against aberrations.
But they are not completely human, and they always maintain some superstitions that we cannot understand."
Feng Xiao frowned and glared at Sun Buwu, "Wang Jun is not even level 3 yet. You are harming him by telling him these things in advance."
"No, his combat power is already comparable to level 3." Sun Buwu shook his head, "So, he is qualified to know some secrets."
There were sparks in the eyes between the two of them - the kind that meant they were about to have a fight.
Wang Jun took one person with one hand and pulled them to both sides of his body, "Hurry up and smell it, the aroma of roasted chicken is floating in the campfire."
"Roast chicken?" Sun Buwu raised his eyebrows, "You mean that marrow-sucking eagle?"
Wang Jun nodded and asked, "Don't you think this aroma is very exciting?"
"Hey, it seems..." Feng Xiao kept twitching his nose, "It smells a bit fragrant."
Wang Jun breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, pointed at the bonfire and said, "Try my craftsmanship later."
Sun Buwu shook his head quickly, stepped back, and jumped onto the roof of the jeep with steps that shrunk to an inch.
Feng Xiao hesitated for half a second, "Do you really know how to cook?"
Nodding slightly, Wang Jun chuckled teasingly: "Don't underestimate the skills a young man has developed since childhood."
Outside the bonfire, deep in the night, a dry and hoarse voice, male or female, came: "The young man's craftsmanship is really good. I can smell the wonderful fragrance from a long way away. I wonder if you can accept a wanderer?"
