Searching for food through the beast world

picnic for two

The pearl fruit is very large, and Ding Xiao didn't plan to pick a basket to go home, so he cut five or six pieces of pearl fruit, and he took the fat chicken back to Shimobian.

The stream on the side was still quite cool. Ding Xiao pondered for a while, then looked up at the sky. It seemed that there was still some distance to noon. I wondered why Kun Nong didn’t come back.I am not used to not being able to confirm the time with a watch. Fortunately, the time here is almost the same as the ancient Chinese timekeeping method, but compared to the corona-like timing disc on the altar in the middle of the village, it is still my own. The mechanical watch is better to use!After thinking about it, it still takes time to make Beggar Chicken, so let’s start the fire yourself. Sooner or later, you have to learn by yourself. No matter what happens to that pack of lighters, it’s impossible to use it for a lifetime, let alone take it out and use it casually.

Finding a few handfuls of dry grass and a pair of dead branches around, Ding Xiao found a flat and easy stone and dug a hole in the grass by the stream.To light a bonfire in the forest, the first thing to ensure is safety.Dig a pit on the ground and light the fire in the pit. Although the danger still exists, it will be reduced after all.The hay was put in the pit first, and Ding Xiao took the two flints and started beating against the hay.The actual operation was easier than he imagined. Of course, the firewood at home may not be as flammable as the hay he found today. Anyway, Ding Xiao felt that everything he did after he came out today went smoothly. It usually takes two to three minutes to catch fire. Today, it only takes about ten hits.

He happily found a pile of stones on the side and built a temporary stove, then picked up the heavy and abnormally large clay pot and ran to the stream to fetch water.But when he struggled to get half of the pot of water, he realized that he couldn't lift the pot anymore, so he was so depressed that he had to pour out all the water, and then moved the clay pot back to the "stove" On the road, I began to wonder what to use to fetch water.

The big leaves that grow luxuriantly by the water became a good tool for Ding Xiao.The leaves as big as the washbasin are rolled up, and it is not too old or young to take a bag of water.Thinking that the beggar chicken he wanted to try needed to be wrapped in leaves, Ding Xiao rubbed a corner of the leaf, and then smelled it. Although it did not have the fragrance of lotus leaves, the slightly watery herbal scent was not bad.Sticking out his tongue and licking it, Ding Xiao was shocked.This thing is so sweet! ! !

The water was burning on the side, and Ding Xiao became very interested in this kind of plant with large leaves.So he came to the water's edge, exerted all his strength, and finally pulled out the root of this thing.Good guy, it's actually a bulbous plant. The spherical rhizome below is as big as a football. No wonder it's not easy to pull, but the stem of this big leaf is really strong!Wash off the mud on the rhizomes in the water, cut off the upper stems and leaves with a saber, and a fragrance comes from the cut.Ding Xiao couldn't help swallowing.This thing looks delicious!But Kun wasn't here, so he didn't dare to try casually.Who stipulates that things with a strong aroma cannot be poisonous?

When Kun came back, the big basket on his back was filled with pearl fruit, which almost deformed the bamboo strips used to weave the basket.Ding Xiao had a face full of embarrassment, and he was not ashamed to say that they actually don't need that much now.But in my heart, I secretly gave Kun a comment of "this big guy is real".

Seeing a little pheasant that Ding Xiao has shed its feathers, and turned his head to look at the beautiful long tail hair on the ground, Kun nodded with satisfaction: "Xiaoxiao is very good, and he will catch fish and hunt chickens before he even starts to learn how to hunt. .”

When someone praises himself, it will inevitably make people who are already in a happy mood feel apprehensive: "I was lost in the forest by myself before, and I beat a big white bird with a stone! I also got a bird's egg!"

After asking about the appearance of the big white bird, Kun raised his eyebrows: "In the future, don't deal with long-legged white birds casually. Their beaks are very powerful and they can easily bite people. If you want to hurt them, they are very aggressive. .they are only motionless when laying eggs."

Ding Xiao now finally understands why he was able to succeed before.sweat. "Then is there any danger to this kind of pheasant today?" It's better to ask clearly... I am not familiar with these animals from other worlds at all.

Kun shook his head: "It doesn't matter long-tailed chickens, they are stupid, and they don't fly high, as long as they don't get caught by their claws. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you catch them, just wipe some sticky leaves for two days. But you The cubs caught today may have only been hatched for five or six days."

Ding Xiao's expression is like this: (⊙o⊙)! ! ! "It's only five or six days old? How big are they when they grow up?"

Kun drew a length of about 1.5 meters: "Xiaoxiao likes to eat long-tailed chickens?" Although these animals with low aggressiveness and high reproductive rate were caught by half-orcs, the partner he identified was still a cub , then it is different.If Xiaoxiao likes it, he will catch it when he sees it later.

"I haven't eaten this kind of chicken. How can I say whether I like it or not. But I don't know the flowers, plants, trees and animals here, so I'm very curious about everything. Kun, look at this, is it poisonous?" Holding up the rhizome the size of a football, Ding Xiao now particularly wants to know if it can be eaten.

Kun sniffed it: "It's not poisonous. But what is it?"

Ding Xiao replied: "It's the root of that kind of big leaf." After speaking, he couldn't wait to go up and take a bite, eh!Sure enough, it also has a bit of sweetness. Although it is not as sweet as the leaves, it tastes crisp, refreshing and full of moisture. It also has a slippery feeling when swallowed.The sweetness is not enough if it is used as a fruit, but maybe this thing can also be cooked as a staple food!Thinking of this, Ding Xiao immediately thought of the big root like Tusi in his mind, and his mouth immediately drooled.

A long-tailed chicken cub was really not enough for Kun to fit between his teeth, so after putting away the pearl fruit, Kun told Ding Xiao not to move, and then ran into the woods to hunt alone.

Taking advantage of this time, Ding Xiao started to make beggar long-tail chicken cubs!The fat chicken that has lost its feathers still looks very strong. With Ding Xiao's cognitive ability, he really can't imagine what a big pheasant as long as 1.5 meters is, and the cubs are so fat. As spectacular as a pig?Really want to see it if I get a chance!If there are a few big chickens like this in this family, it will be much better than the ordinary pheasants I saw a few days ago. After laying eggs, they will be so big after five or six days, what food is there!

Pick a few big leaves, this time Ding Xiao is not all used to put things.Find a plate of laughing stone and wash it with clean water. Put the big leaf on the stone and crush it with small stones. After a while, the big leaf turns into mud and has a high viscosity. Ding Xiao tasted it , I think it's quite good, it's a little lighter than when I first licked it, and it seems to be very suitable to replace the sugar in pickled food.I picked four sour fruits and two spicy fruits, crushed them together with vegetable salt and pepper powder, and mixed them with big leaf puree. Ding Xiao added a little lemongrass and raw sesame seeds.After stirring thoroughly, the color is a bit weird, but the taste is quite good, sweet, salty, spicy and sour. Ding Xiao is quite satisfied with his temporary sauce.

Spread the sauce evenly on the long-tailed chicken, and Ding Xiao rubs it repeatedly with his hands.After kneading for about 10 minutes, Ding Xiao picked up a big washed sweet leaf and wrapped the chicken tightly. The next thing he has to do is to wrap the chicken with mud from the river.Finally, put this "big mud cube" into the ashes under the "stove", and then add firewood to it.In fact, Ding Xiao has only heard of Beggar Chicken but never seen it, let alone eaten it.So it is definitely an experiment for him now!

When Kun came back, Ding Xiao was adding firewood, and the faint black and gray marks on his face looked extremely cute.Kun felt that his vision was really good, and he took a fancy to this little guy at first sight.He also knows how to make good-looking and detailed clothes, knows how to eat pearl fruit, and can cook so many delicacies that he has never eaten before. Where can he find such a good partner?Although at first he felt that he didn't like Cai's treatment, but he later realized that the little guy didn't know that Cai did it on purpose, so he was relieved.Knowing how to beware of people who have bad intentions towards him, his smile is very smart but not too much, which is many times better than those females who show off and compare themselves in front of him!

"Xiaoxiao, how do you make this barefoot bison delicious?" Since yesterday, Kun felt that if the food was made by Ding Xiao, it would be extremely delicious.

Ding Xiao was taken aback when he saw the huge monster Kun fell to the ground.It was a bison with red hooves.The two horns looked long and sharp, but one of them had been broken off right now.Look at the wound on the bison's neck, and then look at the leather skirt on Kun's body that didn't get any blood on it. Without counting the time, Ding Xiao knew that this cow was hunted quite easily by the idol of Kunda.Beef!This is really one of my favorite meats. The three words fried steak flashed in my mind, and I immediately felt like drooling. "The cow is going to be dismembered now? Where do you like to eat it?" Although he knew that the males in the orc world are big eaters, but no matter how you look at it, there must be a cow with a weight of several hundred catties, and it is definitely not enough to eat for a day or two. can be digested.I really don't know what to do with such a big prey. Does every orc have to hunt back one prey every day?But Dad didn't go out every day, the prey he usually brought back from going out once was enough to eat for several days.

"It's enough for me to eat a leg of beef. Where do you like to eat?" Kun concluded that Xiaoxiao is very satisfied with his prey. It seems that the little guy not only has no requirements for all kinds of strange wild vegetables and fruits, but also is not picky about meat.

Ding Xiao glanced at the big cow leg, and the corner of his mouth twitched. "Just fry the beef shank. That chicken is enough for me."

Kun frowned, that long-tailed chick only had a little more meat, yesterday he found that Xiaoxiao ate too little.No wonder it's not good to be thin and short!He looked down at the big guy under his leather skirt, and then at Ding Xiao's little butt wrapped under the leather pants, feeling depressed for a while. "You eat too little, this is not good. You should eat more in the future."

Ding laughed at the black line.My body is indeed very thin. Since I suffered from depression and lost weight rapidly, I have not regained the weight I lost during the treatment process.But he realized that since he came to Abba's house, the amount of meat and meals these days has been several times that of the past.It is simply unrealistic for me to eat as much as the native aborigines in an instant!What's more, it's not up to me to grow meat. "Then give me another piece of sirloin. By the way, can you cut off the horn and give it to me?" Although it's not good to just ask someone else's prey.But Kun should be regarded as his big brother, isn't it too much for brothers to have horns?

Kun was puzzled: "Ox horns can't be used as weapons, they're useless."

Ding Xiao shook his head: "I don't make a weapon. I use it as a comb to comb my hair. I'll give you one then!"

Not quite understanding what a comb is, Dante laughed and said to make something for himself, and Kun immediately happily cut off the horns.At this time, he was glad that he hadn't broken it too hard, otherwise he would have broken the horn, and Xiaoxiao wouldn't be able to make something for himself!
