In the primeval forest that was covered by clouds and sun, Lin Cheng was walking in front, holding a black sword in his hand, slashing at the tangled branches and leaves that blocked the road from time to time.
Today's temperature seems to have risen a bit compared to the past few days, and everything seems to have begun to gradually recover. The sound of birds and insects has never stopped since the beginning.
After walking on the muddy mountain path all morning, Lin Cheng and Coke didn't feel much at all, but You Shan was already tired and sweating profusely, but she didn't complain at all.
Lin Cheng didn't even think about waiting for her. Now he hadn't even encountered a gnawer. If this girl couldn't keep up with him even if she was just rushing, he might have to reconsider whether to take her with him.
There was no words all the way. After another half an hour, the group of people finally reached a relatively empty flat land. Listening to the "whoosh, whoosh" breathing coming from behind them, Lin Cheng looked at the time and found that it was already twelve o'clock.
Too much, and then he raised his left hand to signal them to stop.
"Okay, let's take a break here and have lunch. By the way, can you cook?"
He walked straight to the ground and sat down cross-legged. Lin Cheng took out his water bottle and took a few sips, then turned to You Shan and asked.
"Yes! Brother Lin, what do you want to eat?"
Hearing this, You Shan, who was still out of breath just now, nodded quickly.
After holding his chin and thinking for a few seconds, Lin Cheng's eyes suddenly lit up, "Can bear paws be done?"
As he spoke, he took out a plump bear paw wrapped in coarse cloth from the mountaineering bag behind his back, handed it to You Shan and said excitedly: "I've been craving this for a long time, but I just don't know how to do it.
The hair is too difficult to clean!”
This bear paw was cut off from the previous giant black bear. At his request, the villagers carried the black bear directly to the richest man's house, and then hurriedly dissected it under the cover of the night, cutting off all the edible meat.
I took it down and put it into the storage capsule. I wanted to bake a bear paw before, but found that I couldn't eat it!
Looking at the bear paw that Lin Cheng handed to her, You Shan thought for a few seconds, then nodded and said: "Leave it to me! We, the people of Phoenix Village, have relied on the mountains for generations, and bear paws, which are relatively precious ingredients outside, are placed in the
It’s not uncommon here, I’ve seen my dad do it before~”
As he said that, he picked up a lot of dry firewood from around and lit a fire very skillfully. Then he sat directly on the ground and dug up the soil in front of him.
After a while, You Shan dug out a pile of soil and took out a kettle from her waist, poured some gently on the soil, and then began to stir.
Then, the mixed soil was evenly spread on the black bear paws, wrapped completely, and then placed directly on the bonfire to smoke.
While roasting bear paws, You Shan saw Lin Cheng's confused look, smiled and explained: "It's difficult to pull out the hair on bear paws, but this method is very effective...ah!"
At this point, You Shan exclaimed, seeming to have forgotten something very important, and said quickly: "After plucking the fur from the bear's paws, you still have to steam them, but what should we do if we don't have a pot?"
Seeing her anxious look, Lin Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "I have it!"
As he said that, he took out a small pot from his hiking bag and handed it to her.
Looking at the small pot in his hand, You Shan's mind was a little confused for a moment: "You...how could you..."
"Why are there so many problems? Hurry up and cook!"
Seeing her dumbfounded look, Lin Cheng waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to explain more.
You Shan saw that he obviously didn't want to say more, so she nodded. Seeing that the loess had been completely dried, she took it off the fire, poured water into the pot, soaked one end of the bear's paw that had been plucked from hair, and started
Carefully clean the remaining hair, old black skin and nails on it.
Seeing You Shan show her hand inadvertently, Lin Cheng suddenly felt that he might have found a treasure!
Not to mention her invisibility, but with her extremely skillful way of handling wild game, he might be able to escape from eating fast food every day.
After finishing the initial treatment of the bear's paw, You Shan was about to continue, but her expression changed again. Seeing Lin Cheng looking at her expectantly, she said awkwardly: "Well... we... don't seem to have any seasoning.
…”
Hearing this, Lin Cheng waved his hand again and said proudly: "Tell me what seasoning you want!"
Seeing his confident look, You Shan was stunned and looked at him strangely: "Are you Doraemon..."
Lin Cheng's eyes widened, "I'm Fat Tiger! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll beat you up! Tell me what seasoning you want!"
"Puch..."
Discovering that he actually had a humorous side, You Shan couldn't help laughing, and then quickly said: "Onions, ginger, garlic, cooking wine..."
"puff!"
Hearing these condiments, Lin Cheng, who was drinking water, opened his eyes and spat it out. He said in a dumbfounded voice, "Did you make a mistake? Sister! If I have onions, ginger and garlic, why do I need to eat instant noodles every day?!"
"But... without these things, the taste of the bear paws will be much worse!"
Seeing that Lin Cheng couldn't bring out these condiments, You Shan frowned and said helplessly.
"It's okay, it's okay~"
Hearing what she said, Lin Cheng waved his hands and said, "As long as you can cook this thing well! I still have salt and seasoning sauce in my bag, so I can eat it if I make do with it!"
"All right……"
Hearing this, You Shan could only nod and accept her fate, then cut the bear paw into four pieces and placed them on the steamer, placed them in a basin, poured water at the bottom, closed the lid and waited.
After a while, You Shan took the chopsticks she got from Lin Cheng, opened the lid of the pot, and poked the bear's paw, which was obviously soft and fat. After finding that it could be penetrated, she said happily: "
It’s already cooked! But the bear paws produced this way will have a peculiar smell, so don’t blame me..."
Lin Cheng waved his hand nonchalantly, "I told you it's okay, I just want to taste this delicacy that I've never seen before!"
As he said that, he was not afraid of burning his hands, so he just pinched a piece out of the pot, sprinkled some salt and black pepper on it, and took a bite!
"Well……"
While chewing hard, Lin Cheng said vaguely to You Shan: "Not bad! It's probably because this guy has mutated, and the meat is very tender..."
"What?!"
Hearing this, You Shan's expression suddenly changed as he was about to start eating. He quickly grabbed Lin Cheng's left hand, which was about to continue stuffing meat into his mouth, and said hurriedly: "Then how dare you eat?! These mutated animals are very dangerous.
It might contain those viruses!”
After being tightly grasped by her left hand, Lin Cheng struggled twice to pull out his arm, looked at her with an idiotic expression and said: "Are you drunk too much? You are also a mutant, why haven't you turned into a monster? Ability?
The mutant beasts and zombies are different. The only poisonous place in its body is in its brain, so you can eat it with peace of mind!"
Hearing Lin Cheng's explanation, You Shan still didn't believe it, but at the same time, she was very hungry. After waiting for a while, she found that there was nothing abnormal about him, she gritted her teeth, accepted her fate, picked up a piece of bear paw and started chewing it.
