Reborn in the end of the world, I scavenged in the empty city and bought for free

The rabbit meat here is not fully roasted yet, but because the mutated wild rabbit meat itself is sweet and has a light smell, it has already become fragrant during the roasting process, making the people roasting by the fire in the yard salivate with greed, especially Liao Yunyun, who shouted that it would be even better if such delicious food could be paired with good wine.

The group sat in the yard from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. The rabbit meat was slowly roasted over a low fire, and the dried fruits on the table were changed several times.

As the rabbit meat is grilled on the grill, fat continues to come out, and the dripping oil hits the charcoal, making a crackling sound.

The original rabbit meat roasted by Chen Yanxi is just marinated with spices in advance. There is no need to apply any seasoning during the roasting process. Just sprinkle some coarse salt and it will be delicious enough. At this time, the rabbit is roasted with crispy and tender skin. A knife gently scrapes the crispy skin of the hare, and the innermost layer of juice immediately overflows, and you can see the smooth and white meat inside.

On the other side, the spicy rabbit meat grilled by Gu Tongwan has been sprinkled with cumin and chili powder. Cumin is definitely an indispensable seasoning for barbecue. As long as cumin is added, the taste of the meat seems to become different.

This small bottle of cumin and pepper salt was brought by her herself. Thinking that she might need it, she found a bottle from the space. However, the packaging had to be torn off, otherwise it would be abnormal for the seasoning produced four or five years ago to look as good as new.

Maybe it was because he hadn't smelled cumin for a long time, especially when Cai Min asked where he bought it, Gu Tongwan had no choice but to continue using the old excuse to cover up without blushing or beating his heart.

"I saw a stall selling them at the black market last year and bought a few bottles. I think they were from before the end of the world, but they were sealed so they shouldn't have gone bad."

Cai Min was puzzled and said, "You are quite lucky. I have been setting up a juice stall in the black market for a long time and I have never seen anyone selling cumin. There are many people selling chili powder, but those chilies are just spicy and not fragrant at all. They are not as good as the pots of chilies I planted in my yard in the summer."

Xiao Li beside her also moved her body curiously, sniffing the barbecue with the aroma of cumin, and then said with a smile: "Wanwan's luck is really amazing, it seems that she can buy good things everywhere. Didn't you give my aunt some fruit wine last time? My aunt got addicted after drinking it. She keeps talking about buying some fruits to make her own wine this summer. But when I think of the wine she tried to make last year, I'm scared. It tasted weird, as if it had a moldy smell, and it was so astringent that I couldn't swallow it at all. I wasted my money to buy five or six kilograms of grapes. Grapes are expensive in summer. When I bought them, they were about 80 points per kilogram, but I ended up making less than three kilograms of wine."

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere in the past two days was too depressing and it was rare for everyone to get together for a barbecue and chat, so as soon as one person started talking, the others would follow suit and chatter endlessly.

When the original rabbit meat was almost roasted, Chen Yanxi cut off pieces of meat with the knife in his hand, and soon filled two plates.

The rabbit meat they bought this time was plenty. Each mutant rabbit weighed at least five kilograms. Several people might not be able to finish just the two grilled rabbits, not to mention the braised rabbit meat being stewed in the kitchen.

As soon as the two plates of rabbit meat were served, everyone else couldn't help but pick up their chopsticks, especially the greedy Xiao Li, whose mouth was full and she was holding a piece in her hand. She felt that the more she chewed the rabbit meat, the more fragrant it became, without any strange smell. She asked curiously, "Our guesthouse has bought these mutant wild rabbits before. They smelled very mutated, so we had to coat them with flour, fry them, and sprinkle them with various spices. Otherwise, we couldn't swallow them. Fortunately, there were many people drinking at night, and those drunkards had strong tastes. They couldn't taste anything with two taels of white wine, so the rabbit meat wasn't wasted. But how did you do this? I don't think you added any seasonings?"

Xiaoli usually never spoke to Chen Yanxi in private. She always felt that although this man looked gentle, the coldness in his eyes revealed a coldness that kept people at a distance. However, only when Gu Tongwan was around would this man's sharp aura soften a little, so she took the initiative to start a conversation.

“First, marinate it lightly with spices, pay attention to the heat when grilling, and sprinkle salt three times in total. The first time is when putting it on the grill, the second time is when it is about half cooked, and finally sprinkle a thin layer when it is almost cooked. The first two times of salting are for flavor, and the third time is to lock in the taste of the gravy.” Chen Yanxi naturally cut a piece of meat from the rabbit leg, each piece was just the right size for a bite, and then pushed the plate in front of Gu Tongwan.

It's not surprising for other people to see these two people showing their affection too naturally, but these two are not as clingy as other young couples. Instead, they look like a couple who have been together for many years. No matter whether it is physical contact or invisible displays of affection, they never make people feel bored, but instead make people unable to help but fantasize.

Gu Tongwan ate a piece of rabbit meat. It was indeed tender and smooth. The texture of the meat was between chicken and beef, tenderer than beef but firmer than chicken. Although only salt was added, it was very flavorful. With every bite, the juice in the meat overflowed and filled the mouth.

"This meat seems different, not so smelly?" Gu Tongwan had tried to hunt wild rabbits several times before, but the pungent smell was too strong, and in the end all the meat had to go into Aoao and Tutu's stomachs. After all, the two dogs had basically no feeling for smelly and fishy things, and they preferred prey with blood or that was fresh and alive.

"This is male rabbit meat, which is more tender and sweeter than female rabbit meat. Most of the meat sold in the market is female rabbit meat, because there are more female rabbits. Basically, the number of female rabbits in a forest is hundreds of times that of male rabbits. Therefore, it is rarely sold in the market, and even if it is sold, the price is very high. The boss who sold meat in the market before probably didn't expect that all the rabbits he caught this time were male rabbit meat." Chen Yanxi's voice was not loud, but it was just loud enough for everyone to hear.

Liao Yunyun couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then wouldn't the boss be at a big loss, right?"

"So there is such a saying. It seems that we have a chance to eat male rabbit meat now." Xiaoli nodded in sudden enlightenment.

Ten minutes later, Gu Tongwan's spicy roasted rabbit was also out of the oven. Perhaps everyone had eaten too much of the original flavor before. Although the spicy rabbit meat was fresh and spicy, the stomach space was limited. Even Xiaoli, who always claimed to be a big eater, shook her head and said, "I need to take a break. Eating too much meat at once will make me feel uncomfortable."

Cai Min and Xu Xuesong were both preoccupied with something and didn't really enjoy the food. They only took a few bites and then ran out to make a phone call.

Liao Yunyun, Xiaoli, Lan Cen and Gu Tongwan simply started playing brain teasers. The girls were having a lot of fun and the yard suddenly became lively again.

Perhaps Liu Feng, who was recuperating in the room, was infected by the laughter of the young people, so he came to the yard on crutches to watch the excitement for a while.

His body is gradually recovering. After two days of rest, he can eat some meat porridge and noodles, and can get out of bed and move around on his own. However, the remaining inhibitors in his body still prevent him from using his supernatural powers. It will take at least one to two months to completely eliminate the remaining drugs in his body. Fortunately, he doesn't mind.

Cai Min and Xu Xuesong received a call from the Xiaohe Guild, but the couple was not told the specific content of the call, only asked to go there as soon as possible.

So the two of them went out without even having dinner, while Gu Tongwan and Chen Yanxi went to Liu Feng's room to check his body.

At this time, only Liao Yunyun, Xiaoli and Lan Cen were left in the yard. Yan Fan took advantage of the fact that the rabbit meat was not yet roasted and ran to the nearby field to practice his supernatural powers. It seemed that he had just researched a new way to use his supernatural powers, but due to limited space in the Cai family, he was unable to use them for the time being, so he had to go outside to intensify his training.

The braised rabbit meat was served after everyone had almost eaten and drunk their fill. Everyone was starting to feel a little sleepy at this time. Xiaoli yawned and said she wanted to go back to her room to take a nap. Lan Cen went to the living room to watch TV. Liao Yunyun was alone in the yard, drinking hot tea and scrolling through her phone out of boredom. She didn't notice anyone approaching in the yard.

Liao Yunyun had her back to the gate, eating melon seeds while turning the spicy rabbit meat on the grill. The fire had been changed to low, but everyone only tasted one rabbit leg out of the five pounds of spicy rabbit meat. Even the braised rabbit meat on the small charcoal stove in the middle was still stewed.

The braised rabbit meat was stewed with a lot of spices given by Cai Min, and potatoes and carrots were added. Because rabbit meat lacked the smell of mutton, the aroma filled the entire yard after it was stewed. Even Aoao and Tutu, who were not very willing to eat cooked food, stood up and looked at the clay pot on the charcoal stove curiously.

"Oh my god, this smells really good. It doesn't look like today is the Lantern Festival, right?"

A man's voice seemed to ring right next to her ears, causing Liao Yunyun's stretched body to tense up immediately, and she suddenly turned around.

A man with light-colored hair and delicate features appeared in the yard, only three or four meters away from Liao Yunyun.

The man was not very handsome, but when his long and narrow eyes were narrowed, there was always a hint of playfulness in his smile, which immediately reminded Liao Yunyun, who used to love reading novels, of some authors' descriptions of "sly eyes".

There was suddenly a stranger in the yard, and he was an adult man. It would be a lie for Liao Yunyun to say that she was not panicked, especially when it was not clear whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.

However, Liao Yunyun did not scream immediately. Instead, she held the back of the chair tightly with one hand and touched the small knife used for cutting meat on the table with the other hand, staring at the man from beginning to end.

Someone who could appear in the courtyard silently, without even leaving a sound of footsteps, was definitely not something that an ordinary person could do. Moreover, even Aoao and Tutu, who had left Yan Fan behind and returned from outside earlier, did not react at all.

At this time, Aoao lowered his head and licked the fur on his paws. He was not at all alert because of the man's appearance, while Tutu was still dozing with his eyes squinted. He looked relaxed and did not look like a threat approaching.

Liao Yunyun's mind raced, and she realized that the person who could make the two dogs let down their guard could definitely not be a stranger.

This person is not threatening but can easily enter the Cai family's yard. It seems very likely that he is a person with supernatural powers. Secondly, the two dogs should have seen this person before and are already familiar with his breath.

However, Liao Yunyun did not relax her vigilance because of her guess. When she leaned back a little, the man had already come to the table opposite.

"Oh, what a big deal, a mutant rabbit? I could smell the fragrance coming from the yard from more than ten meters away. It turns out they are eating delicious food here." The man said as he started to attack without any hesitation.

But Liao Yunyun was quicker than him. She waved the knife in her hand twice in front of the other person and asked with a frown, "Who are you and what are you doing? Why do you show up at someone else's house without knocking or saying hello?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly explained with a smile: "Oh, sorry, I forgot you haven't seen me like this before."

"What are you talking about? I'm asking how you got in. I've never opened this door." The door was locked from the inside, and in order to prevent thieves from coming in, the Cai family had always installed an iron door in the yard. Recently, for the sake of safety, they even added an extra layer of bolt inside, just in case someone broke down the door to delay a little.

Apart from anything else, the Cai family actually has a much better sense of security than other families. Even the yard wall is made into a protective fence with glass shards, so there is no need to worry about someone climbing over the wall.

Of course, these simple protections can only prevent ordinary people from sneaking in. If you encounter a person with special abilities, it would only take a few minutes for him to break in.

Liao Yunyun was certain that the person on the other side was no simple person, otherwise, since he hadn't broken the door and hadn't heard any sound of climbing the wall, this person must have come in by other means. Perhaps he was so agile that he could easily climb over the two-meter-long wall of the Cai family's courtyard.

Song Bo leaned back a little, looking relaxed, and then smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Song Bo. The last time we met was at the market's 'Pig Killing Banquet' that night. I was the skinny guy who won the arm wrestling competition."

After he finished speaking, seeing Liao Yunyun's suspicious look, Song Bo explained, "That is one of my special powers. I can change my body and appearance appropriately. It's a kind of camouflage type of special power." Perhaps afraid that Liao Yunyun would not believe it, he suddenly loosened his body bones, and then under Liao Yunyun's horrified gaze, he saw that the width of his shoulders shrank by at least ten centimeters, and the whole person became weak and thin.

The first thought that came to Liao Yunyun's mind was "bone shrinking skills", and it was presented so clearly before her eyes. This kind of impact is something that ordinary people cannot feel. It is as if all the bones in the body are broken and reassembled. Although the scene is not bloody, but hearing the "crackling" sound of the bones makes her scalp tingle.

"Okay, okay, I believe you, you...just change back." Liao Yunyun was obviously resisting, and she didn't notice the smile that flashed across Song Bo's eyes.
