Searching for food through the beast world

The temptation of chicks

Steamed eggs with shiitake mushrooms and shrimps come out of the pan.Kun hurried over, knowing that this was something he had never eaten before.In the past, Xiaoxiao used the eggs she found to make scrambled, boiled, and marinated eggs for herself.But that's what I haven't tried.It smells great and looks pretty good.Yellow and white eggs, pink shrimp, and black mushrooms... "Smile, what's this called?"

"This is called egg cream in my hometown, but this is not an egg, it is called snow bird egg cream! You can try it to see how salty it is, I have made eggs and white bird eggs before. I smell this snow bird egg like It doesn’t smell like a white bird’s egg.” In fact, when he opened the eggshell, Ding Xiao found that the yolk of this Snowbird’s egg is relatively small, which is probably the main reason for affecting the fragrance.

Brother Kun smiled and ate the egg paste scooped up by the other party.The aroma of eggs, the aroma of shiitake mushrooms and the freshness of shrimp are mixed together. It is really a delicious treat!It's just... "Not chewy. But it tastes good."

The corner of Ding Xiao's mouth twitched: "Of course the egg paste is not chewy! You don't want to use barbecue as the standard for everything, okay?" After speaking, he glanced at the few green fruits on the side of the lunch box.It still didn't smell anything, which was really strange, so I pressed it with my hand.I thought that the steamed fruit would have to press a hole, but after pressing it, the sunken peel and pulp slowly bounced back, and finally returned to its original shape.

This situation is really surprising.Ding Xiao didn't care about the heat, quickly picked up a fruit, opened his mouth and took a bite.Just this one mouthful stopped him completely.Aww!This Nima is a steamed bun!Still a fairly soft but not fluffy bun!After chewing, there is a slight sweetness, and a little fruity fragrance, and then... nothing.Surprised, he carefully looked at the gap he bit open. The fruit inside was still white after steaming, and there were some small pores in the middle of the flesh, which is probably why the fruit tasted so soft.But because it didn't get bigger, it wasn't fluffy.

After seeing Xiaoxiao’s surprised face, the whole person focused on this fruit. Kun couldn’t help asking: “Is it delicious?” Anyway, it’s very tasteless to eat raw, and no one would pick this blue red berry. food.

Ding Xiao took a sip of red berry barbecue sauce from the side, then spread it on the fruit in his hand, and passed it to Kun's mouth: "Try it quickly! I guarantee you like it!" Soft but a little elastic like steamed buns.

Kun was really amazed by the taste of this fruit and the taste of red berry barbecue sauce. "This one looks like steamed buns after steaming!"

Ding Xiao immediately smeared some sauce on himself, stuffed the last bite of the fruit into his mouth, and groaned while chewing: "Vegetarian! I'm a vegetarian with you, this interpreter is the master!"

Touching the top of Xiaoxiao's head, Kun said empathetically, "Yes. I understand."

The two couldn't wait to put all the remaining fruits on the bamboo curtain, and then continued to steam in the pot.These ten or so steamed buns can definitely fill me up, but I don't know if I can bear my hunger.In addition, I don't know how long this fruit can be stored. It would be great if it can be stored for a long time. "Kun, how long will it take for these fruits to fall off the tree?"

Kun recalled: "The yellow-brown fruit was the first to fall off the tree and rot, but that was around July. The last thing to fall off the tree was this kind of green fruit, which would not emerge from the tree until around mid-October." It falls from the tree. But it is dry and not rotten. I have seen many animals collect those dry fruits. No one has ever thought of steaming the fruit before, so it is not good to eat raw. Everyone has no I like it." I didn't expect to miss another thing that can be a staple food.Although it is not delicious without sauce and eaten with meat, it is not as fragrant and fluffy as steamed buns made with noodles.

It won't fall until October. If it's dry, doesn't it mean that it has been collected and ground into powder? "Then how many green fruit trees are there? Besides that forest, are there any other places?"

Kun thought about it carefully again: "There are quite a few areas in the territory, but there are only two areas in the safe area of ​​our village where the growth is concentrated. The mountain I went to today has the most, and there is a place where there are more yellow-brown fruits. "

Ding Xiao clapped his fists: "Kun! Let's collect more of these fruits recently! I want to try how long this kind of green fruit can be stored, and whether it can be ground into powder after drying. I also want to try to get this yellow-brown fruit Make more soy sauce, the taste is much more mellow than soy sauce fruit. But to keep it fresh, you need to get more lake salt."

Kun nodded after hearing this: "Okay! Then I will go to pick lake salt tomorrow. If I leave early, I will be back at midnight tomorrow."

Ding Xiao hesitated for a moment: "Don't rush too much. Actually, you can come back in the morning the day after tomorrow. You can dig some more bamboo shoots for me. I want to make some more dried bamboo shoots. I don't know the bamboo shoots of Tianzhu. Is there any difference between seasons. I am afraid that after spring, I will grow old.”

"I don't worry about you being alone at home." Brother Kun said.

Ding Xiao stared with his arms akimbo: "What are you worried about? I spent five days alone in the safe zone! Now I am Mr. Wen's proud disciple, how dare you underestimate me?!"

Kun smiled lightly: "Okay. I can't bear to have you at home alone."

Ding Xiao curled his lips: "It's a good comrade to tell the truth! It's okay, otherwise I will let Lu Xilai accompany me, anyway Feng is not here." Although he felt that he was a big man and was alone at home, there was nothing to worry about. My house is not on the edge of the village, and there are people patrolling at night, so I don't have to worry about sneak attacks by wild animals.But looking at Kun's virtue, it seems unreasonable not to fight against Lu Xilai.

Kun weighed it carefully, and finally nodded: "Okay. Only tomorrow night!"

Ding Xiao raised his hand and pinched Kun's nose: "It seems like someone is willing to take the place with you! Come on, the beef is stewed, let's set the table for dinner!"

Before Kun left, he specially told Ding Xiao not to tell others about Mantouguo for the time being.Already accustomed to the "stingy and narrow-minded" of his own big tiger, Ding Xiao was too happy not to cause trouble.These two days he was very busy with his studies. Mr. Wen asked the eight of them to hunt small prey by themselves every day.It is not the most important thing to hunt or not, what is important is the technique and awareness.

Without the male deterrent power of the black tiger, animals have no natural fear of half-orcs.Therefore, apart from the instinctive escape, there will never be such an unscientific situation where animals are too frightened to move occasionally.This also makes Ding Xiao feel that hunting is not as easy as being with Kun before.Fortunately, with his usual precision, after letting go of a pheasant, he successfully hunted a wild duck.But Ding Xiao sighed as he saw the wild duck being stabbed to death with a fork in the throat.

Don't think that he is concerned about the life of the wild duck, er... that's not right, he thinks that if he can catch a live wild duck and raise it, he can harvest duck eggs.Salted duck eggs are a good thing!

In the morning, the other seven people completed their first hunting assessment one after another.Although only Ding Xiao and another half-orc cub named Xia caught the prey, and the others ended in regret, Mr. Wen praised all eight of his apprentices.At the same time, it also pointed out where the problems of misses and misses came from.All benefit greatly.

Ding Xiao happily walked home with the wild duck he had hunted.The eight people went their separate ways at the entrance of the village, but after hearing that Kun was not at home today, both Jing and Lvxi went into Ding Xiao's house with strange smiles on their faces.

Ding Xiao planned to eat this duck for lunch.In view of the fact that the two guys were going to eat at home, Ding Xiao generously cooked a pot of rice nuts.Anyway, everyone in the village now knows that this food is edible, and that he and Kun discovered it when they went to play in Kushui Lake. It is only natural that they keep some at home.What's more, Luxi and Jing are not other people.

The two half-orc cubs who had only eaten rice nut porridge once were very excited when they saw Ding Xiao cook a pot for them.They have not forgotten the taste and smoothness and softness of this kind of rice nuts.Sure enough, good things happen when Kun is not at home! (Brother Kun, your image is completely destroyed.)

The most important thing for the next meal is that the taste is strong enough and refreshing enough.Ding Xiao, a wild duck that only weighs about four catties, plans to make it into a pepper duck.The ingredients are very simple, put the chili and red mahua sauce together, fry the duck meat out of the oil and take it out first, add the chili and red mahua sauce to fry the red oil, then put the onion and ginger into the pot, and then put the duck back Return to the pot, stir-fry until the duck meat is about to color, then pour boiling water into it and simmer.While adding vegetable salt, Ding Xiao also added two tree jams today to increase the flavor of the sauce, so that there is no need to add sugar, killing two birds with one stone~!

In order to get rid of the greasy feeling of the duck, in addition to directly frying the duck meat in a pan to force out the oil, Ding Xiao also put two large white beans in it.White beans, like potatoes, are good oil absorbers.Although there is not much left at home, it will be time to dig white beans in about three months.

The scrambled eggs with red berries were gone yesterday.But left over from the red berry goulash...soup.

Considering the appetite of the three people, Ding Xiao put five red berries in the soup pot, and cut three catties of shredded beef into it. It is estimated that after the duck is stewed, the beef soup will be almost ready.

Hearing that Kun would not come back at night, Ding Xiao wanted Lvxi to stay with him for a night.Jing raised his hand without hesitation and demanded to synchronize with the organization.

Ding Xiao naturally had no reason to refute, but because of this, Brother Muwa sent the prey with a face of resentment, and then continued to stay for dinner with a face of resentment, and finally was kicked out of Ding Xiao's house by Jing with the same face the gate.

This is the first time Ding Xiao lives in the same bed with someone other than Kun.Fortunately, the bed in his room is very big, uh...it should be that the beds of all families are very big, so it is not a problem to sleep their three half-orc cubs.But that must be based on the premise of always sleeping.

So how did you sleep tonight?Hehe... Seeing that Ding Xiao and Luxi woke up with sore backs and legs, and the cub Jing was refreshed, everyone will understand.The place where you sleep... No, the bedside also needs to be occupied by force.Obviously, in their sleep, Ding Xiao and Lu Xi's ability is insufficient.At this time, both of them sighed silently, in fact, the sequelae after making out with their partners are nothing more than that!

Therefore, Jing's contribution is still there.At least at the level of psychological acceptance of the two half-orc cubs!

After packing up the things that must be brought, the three of them just picked up the hunting forks and were about to go out to gather at the altar.

Hearing the sound of "chachacha", Luxi turned her head and saw the original location of the chicken coop. "Smile!! There are chicks!!!"

Ding Xiao was startled by Luxi's sudden voice, but he immediately became excited when he heard the content.I hurried to the side of the chicken coop to look carefully, and sure enough there were two little chicks dangling behind the hen, the hair on their bodies was already dry, could it be that they hatched last night? "It's pretty fast!"

Jing's curiosity about new things is the highest: "Xiaoxiao, why are there small chickens in your chicken coop? Did you catch them? Don't you worry that two big chickens will trample the little chickens to death?"

Ding Xiao replied: "This is the egg laid by my hen and then hatched. I will grab a handful of rice and reward this old hen!" The chicken gave birth to an egg, and now the egg gave birth to a chicken.Although he would not immediately think of the infinite shortage of children and grandchildren, he was still very excited!

Luxi was full of envy: "I really want to raise a little chicken too! When Feng and Dad come back, I must let them catch it for me!"

Jing nodded vigorously: "But I want the cubs of long-haired rabbits more. They are so small and cute. I have seen one before. But at that time, I never thought that these animals could be kept at home."

At this time, Ding Xiao just came back with a handful of rice nuts, and when he heard what Jing said, he immediately smiled and said, "Didn't it mean that rabbits have a particularly strong reproductive ability? If you raise a litter, maybe by this time next year, you will have several Ten rabbits." In fact, if it was the rabbits in the previous life, the reproduction rate would be higher.

After imagining the scene of dozens of rabbits surrounding him, Jing immediately laughed. "That way, there won't be a lot of rabbit meat to eat in winter! It's great! When I go back, I'll ask Wood Wag to build a rabbit nest for me!"

Luxi teased: "Is it enough to repair the rabbit nest?"

Jing straightened his back: "Of course! I want to catch and raise rabbits with my own hands!" Although he is not even capable of hunting dead ones yet.

When Ding Xiao returned home from "school", Kun happened to be busy making lunch in the kitchen.Seeing his partner, he immediately put down the meat skewers in his hand and moved over. After seeing that there was no one outside the door, he lowered his head and passed his face. "Smile, I brought a lot of things back!"

Ding Xiao also looked back at the gate, then tiptoed and kissed Kun's lips vigorously: "Good job! The journey is so hard, let me continue the barbecue! By the way, the eggs have hatched, you Did you see it?" This is a big event!

Kun nodded: "I saw it when I came back. I will be able to repair our own chicken coop tomorrow. I can start to catch things and raise them now. I can raise a lot." Anyway, the fence has been built by himself, which is half the height of a person. Not afraid of attracting wild animals.Moreover, his own yard and experimental fields are within the scope of patrolling.

"Let's put it away first. Today, when Jing saw the chicken, he said that he wanted to catch rabbits and raise them by himself. I also wanted to catch and watch them myself. By the way, what did you bring back?" He believed that Kun would never miss any of himself. Something not seen.

Sure enough, Kun took out two bamboo baskets from the warehouse.One of them was full of mantou fruits, and the other contained many fruits of different sizes and colors and roots of plants. "I packed two bags of salt cubes, four bags of bamboo shoots, and a few branches of the black incense tree, which should be enough. And these fruits and plants are not poisonous. You can see what they are useful for." . " After speaking, he looked at Ding Xiao with a look of "please praise me quickly".

Seeing these things and the appearance of his own big tiger, Xiaoxiao couldn't be unhappy.Immediately stepped forward and offered another kiss.It's a pity that Brother Kun didn't miss the opportunity this time. In the end, the cub Xiaoxiao could only sit on the wooden pier unsteadily, panting while watching Brother Kun happily grilling the meat.

This big guy really can't let it go! ! !
