(There is an update at this time. Are you surprised or surprised? Hehehe...)
Lunch is two braised fried lake fish and a pot of crocodile soup stewed with dried bitter herbs.
The crocodile soup was simmered first and poured into the idle stone pot to dry. I have to say that the quality of this stone pot is indeed excellent. It has been burned for so long without being cracked by the fire. It can still be laid off normally. Now
It is really not easy to be able to continue to use the remaining heat.
Braised and fried lake fish, this one is more difficult to make. The name is so, but the actual method... is to put the animal fat that is usually boiled into a pot and heat it up, and then chop the lake fish into several sections.
Throw it into the pan and fry it, then use an iron spoon to scoop up the boiling animal oil and pour it on the two lake fish, trying to make every inch of the lake fish's skin fully feel the passion of the oil.
After frying the skin of the lake fish until crispy, scoop out most of the animal oil in the pot, then add water to the large pot without covering the lake fish, then add wild ginger and fruit wine.
Just put the lake fish in the big pot and simmer until the fish fragrance comes out.
The original method of braised fish requires the use of a lot of ingredients, such as soy sauce, cooking wine and vinegar. It would be best if there is starch, which can be used to thicken the sauce at the end.
But now, he doesn't have any of these things, and he can't make them himself.
The main reason is that he doesn't know how to make it. Wine, vinegar, or starch are all fine. Although making wine is a technical job, if you do it casually, you can basically get vinegar even if you don't get wine.
As for starch, this is easy to handle. He has already prepared some lotus root starch. This stuff is starch, and there is no problem at all when it is used to thicken the gravy and reduce the juice.
When conditions are met in the future... In fact, there is no need to wait for the future. This autumn harvest, he can go to the orchard over there to get some fruits and try to make fruit wine by himself.
Now, he can only use the fruit wine given to him by the monkey instead. Moreover, the fruit wine contains sugar and is a bit sweet. Sugar is also used in braised rice.
But for things like soy sauce, he really didn't know how to make it.
When he was living in the countryside when he was a child, he rarely used that thing for cooking. Later, when his living conditions improved and he could use it, he just bought it in the store.
Unlike wine, you can also brew some at home.
Of course, if it was brewed with glutinous rice, it would need to use distiller's yeast, but obviously he couldn't get that now, so making fruit wine was the best choice.
Fruit wine does not require koji. All you need to do is wash and mash the fruit, put it in a jar and let it ferment slowly. This is relatively simple. He has also made bayberry wine before.
After the lake fish is cooked, add salt, take it out of the pot, and then sprinkle some wild garlic sprouts on top and you're done.
Mountain garlic seedlings are not garlic seedlings, they look a bit like chives.
However, even though the conditions were very simple, this braised and fried lake fish still made Yun Buliu salivate. Even the little fur ball and the little tiger cub couldn't help but hunch their noses and move forward.
Yun Buliu added some water to the iron pot, and then gave them some food. The little fur ball had a very small appetite, so it was easier to deal with it. One piece of lake fish and two pieces of crocodile meat would suffice.
But as the tiger cub increases in size, its food intake also increases. He is now considering giving raw meat to the cub.
He has a large appetite, and the cub's food may not be enough for a large pot of food for a day. Moreover, it drinks less soup, and most of the broth is consumed by Yun Buliu.
He poured about the amount of a lake fish into the wooden basin of the little tiger cub, then added a large piece of crocodile steak to it, and rounded the rest by himself.
One person and two animals were sitting in front of the tree stump, enjoying lunch. The little dumpling upstairs seemed to have sensed the arrival of lunch time, and started to scream.
Hearing this sound, Yun Buliu had no choice but to put down the basin in his hand, got up and went upstairs, then took it down with the animal skin.
That’s why it’s so tiring to take care of children. When we were young, we had to constantly wait for them to eat, drink, and poop, especially poop. This is actually something that many people hate.
There’s just no other way!
Even if you have diapers, you still have to change them from time to time.
But in this situation without diapers, this is a bit troublesome.
Xiaotuanzi obviously has no ability to take care of himself. He can only lie there, occasionally waving his paws, kicking his legs, and making two whining calls.
However, Yun Buliu feels that once it gets bigger, it won't have to be so troublesome. After all, the members of the Tuanzi family are very resistant to falling, and they are round and can roll around without any problems.
There is no need to be like human children, who are afraid of bumping into each other every step they take.
However, he didn't know that this little dumpling was not a healthy one.
Throw the animal skin into the pond and swing it twice to shake off the dirt on it, and then put it in the water pipe to rinse it. As for the small dumplings, Yun Buliu didn't dare to rinse them directly with water, so he could only soak them with rabbit skins.
Wipe it slowly. When it is clean, take it to drink milk.
The doe was very cooperative now. When she saw Yun Buliu coming over with the black and white meat dumpling, she very cooperatively lay down on the ground, and then the calf rushed over to compete with the little dumpling for food.
When the little dumpling was full, Yun Buliu put it on the tree stump to bask in the sun.
Seeing the fluffy black and white meat dumpling lying on the tree stump, squirming awkwardly, looking like it was struggling to get up but had no strength, Yun Buliu wanted to laugh.
The little fur ball jumped next to it, stretched out its paws, and pushed it. Then it turned over, and then actually took advantage of the situation and rolled up on the tree stump.
Fortunately, he was watching and quickly stopped it with his hands. Firstly, he was afraid that it would fall, and secondly, because it was still small, he was afraid that this would hurt it.
But he didn't notice that when the little furball saw the little dumpling rolling, his eyes widened a little, as if he had discovered something interesting.
After Yun Buliu helped the little tuanzi and let it lie there to bask in the sun, the little fur ball jumped to its side again, stretched out its little paws and pushed it, and then pushed it to roll.
Yun Buliu: "..."
So he simply took a piece of animal skin and spread it on the ground, then put the small dumplings on it.
Seeing this, the little furball quickly ate the fish and crocodile meat in the bamboo bowl, then jumped down and played with the dumplings, making babbling sounds while playing.
The little tiger cubs munching on the steaks looked very interested, looking up at them from time to time, as if they wanted to join in and play.
But Yun Buliu couldn't let him play with the little dumpling. After all, the little tiger cub's physique was different from that of the little furball, and his strength was much stronger. If it was neither light nor heavy, it would be bad to hurt the little dumpling.
And it's a big cat. If you look back and find that it's fun to roll the little dumplings, what's the point?
Yun Buliu could already imagine the big cat playing with a ball of string. If that happened, Xiaotuanzi would probably be destroyed by it.
After the meal, Yun Buliu picked up the little dumpling and carried it upstairs to rest.
Obviously, it was full of energy from the beginning, but after playing with the little fur ball for a while, it was already a little tired. After being carried upstairs and placed in the animal skin for a while, it fell asleep.
Yun Buliu exhaled, stood up and came to Xiao Bai's side, because he found that Xiao Bai's eyes seemed to be blocked by a white film, and he watched carefully with some curiosity.
I thought to myself, does it have cataracts?
But he is not a veterinarian, and he has no way to deal with animal diseases.
He scratched his head a little, thought for a while, then sat down cross-legged in front of it, then entered the microscopic world, and used the method of appearance to extend his mental thoughts to check on Xiaobai's condition.
As a result, he found that his mental thoughts could not enter Xiaobai's body. There was a barrier in his mental thoughts that blocked his prying eyes.
However, he was able to check Xiao Bai's body surface, and after seeing it, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It turns out that this guy is in the state of molting. This is the first time he has seen Xiaobai about to molt.
While he was relieved, he couldn't help but wonder, why couldn't his spiritual thoughts enter its body?
He tried the small dumplings again and found that there was no problem.
However, after his spiritual thoughts entered Xiaotuanzi's body, Yun Buliu discovered a very serious problem. The fire of life in Xiaotuanzi's body became weak again.
Although the situation was not as bad as that day, it was not as good as he imagined.
Obviously, he used wood energy to save its life that day, but it could not solve all the problems once and for all. There were obviously problems with it.
Now, he can understand why it was abandoned by its parents. Obviously, this little dumpling is not a healthy one, and it may have some kind of congenital disease.
Yun Buliu thought about it and examined it carefully. His spiritual thoughts entered its body and looked inside, almost checking it cell by cell.
Finally, he finally discovered some different cells deep in its heart.
Those cells were obviously diseased cells. They were secretly devouring the vitality in the surrounding cells. They were also quietly devouring the wood-attributed energy in Xiaotuanzi.
However, although he knew the source of the disease, he had no way to do anything about it. The little dumpling was too fragile, and he did not dare to guide the current into its internal organs.
After all, it is the heart, and if you are not careful, it can kill it.
All he could do was to be bold and continuously inject some wood-attribute energy into its body to hang on to its life, hoping that it would grow up and make plans in the future.
He stopped after feeling that the energy injected into his body was almost gone.
Then, his spiritual thoughts quietly came to the little fur ball playing downstairs.
As a result, as soon as his spiritual thoughts reached him, Yun Buliu felt an electric current appear in his spiritual thoughts, forcefully blasting him out of that microscopic state.
The little furball raised his head and looked at the little bamboo house, tilting his head in confusion.
Yun Buliu, on the other hand, was speechless, but he had some guesses in his heart.
He had some doubts. Maybe it was because Xiaomaoqiu and Xiaobai were better than him, so he couldn't pry into their details.
He was not surprised that the little fur ball was better than him, because he could not be where he is today and live more and more prosperously in this world without the help of this little guy.
If it's not powerful, how can it help him?
The reason why it was said before that the little furball was no longer needed was because it could generate electricity by itself, not that it meant that he wanted to abandon the little guy.
After all, after living together for so long, it can even be said that at the beginning, he was somewhat dependent on it. With it, at least he would have an early warning when encountering danger.
Although this little guy is afraid of death, has no sense of loyalty, and sometimes runs away without saying a word, he is a beast after all. It is their instinct to seek good fortune and avoid danger. Moreover, it is also his ability to face danger.
Being vigilant allowed him to avoid many dangers along the way.
Therefore, even though he didn't know what attracted him to this person who actively followed him... maybe he was curious about his appearance as a human being!
But no matter what, the meaning of the little furball to him is absolutely extraordinary.
It can even be said that he treats it like a brother, even though it is a small beast.
As for Xiaobai, this little white snake seems to be relying on him, as if he is using him as a long-term meal ticket and a free servant who warms the bed for a long time.
But he didn't dare to refuse, and he couldn't refuse.
First of all, although Xiaobai is much fatter now, when he was first born, he was indeed very beautiful and different from ordinary snakes. Moreover, he was still clinging to him and there was nothing he could do.
Both of them, after gradually feeling that the hidden boss in the lake who had never appeared before was probably its elder, he became even more unable to refuse it.
The younger generation of someone's boss looks up to you and asks you to take care of you. You are still being pretentious. Do you want to wait for the boss to come out and talk to you in person before you agree?
If you don't have this kind of discernment, how dare you say that you have been in society?
Therefore, it makes perfect sense to think that although this little guy is only over a year old, he is more powerful than him with the help of a big boss.
As for things like tiger cubs, dumplings, and deer cubs, they were just ordinary. He could invade their bodies easily and silently.
You can even invade their consciousness and feel their emotions.
But these are animals, and their emotions are simple and don't fluctuate much.
Take the little tiger cub as an example. Its emotions are very simple. When it is hungry, it is happy when it has something to eat. It becomes curious when it sees something unknown. Sometimes it will be scared when it stares at it...
So Yun Buliu found it easy to handle the little tiger cub.
After thinking about it, he thought that Xiaobai and Xiaomaoqiu were both better than him, so did they also know how to practice?
Thinking back to when he touched the little fur ball with his mind just now, the little fur ball seemed to react and looked at him. Does that mean that the little fur ball can actually use his mind?
The more Yun Buliu thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility existed. Otherwise, how did those super beasts develop big golden teeth or big golden claws?
If they also knew how to practice, it would make perfect sense.
