Searching for food through the beast world

See you again

That night, Ding Xiao slept soundly.

Under the slightly cool temperature, it feels really beautiful to get into the warm animal skin blanket and have a whistling "stove" hug yourself.To be honest, since living in Shangkang, this feeling has become less.Being too warm and warming each other are two different feelings and moods!

Although he slept comfortably, Ding Xiao still felt that there was one shortcoming of living here.Because there is no small cave in the cave to live in, there is always a feeling of opening the door at the entrance of the cave.This made Ding Xiao, who was used to having to close the door to sleep, a little uncomfortable.But soon Kun thought of a good way.Make a shelf out of wood, preferably big enough to fit in the hole.Then make a curtain of animal skin and tie it to the frame, so that you can make a door curtain at the entrance of the cave.In this way, it is convenient and perfect to remove the shelf during the day and lean on it with stones at night.

They have no shortage of animal skins. The meat of the prey caught these days is eaten, and the unusable bones are thrown away, but the animal skins are well tanned, and it is more than enough to spread out and piece together a door curtain.There is no rush to do these things today.According to Ding Xiao's estimation, Diandian will arrive at noon at the latest, right?

So the division of labor between the two after getting up early is very clear.Although Brother Kun was not too happy, he still ran out to hunt after breakfast.

Ding Xiao looked at the noodles he made last night, and sure enough, the noodles in the cave not too far from the fire should be made faster, and they can be scooped up now.

And yesterday's grass snake was put on the grill, half-smoked and half-air-dried by the side of the dark fire, with only a layer of salt and pepper powder marinated, and in the morning, the snake meat has almost become elastic meat dry.Snake meat is a good food that has the effect of dispelling wind. If you go to the snow mountain in a few days, it will be a good backup food.

I tidied up the ingredients I can use now, except for rice, noodles, and seasonings, there are really not many that I can use.So he picked up Liecha, tied the bag containing the flying knife around his waist, carried a bamboo basket on his back, and came out to hunt and gather.

Whether the orcs built a village or went hunting far away, they all followed the principle of being near the water source.This is also due to the instinct of animals, so Ding Xiao easily found a river nearby.Although the river is not as wide or as deep as the one in Tianhe Village, there are quite a few fish in the crystal-clear water, but the size is not too impressive, not as exaggerated as in the previous lake.Maybe it's because the silver wolf clansmen often come to capture them?

There are indeed many river chrysanthemums on the river.Ding Xiao already knew from Zhou's mouth that this thing was found in every water area of ​​their Silver Sands, and it was really not a rare thing. Of course, it was because of this that no one paid attention to whether it could be eaten.Ding Xiao still picked a lot and went back.

In addition to fish and river chrysanthemums, he also found a stone-like thing in the river.Tianyan showed that this kind of thing has the effect of clearing away heat and nourishing the lungs, so he scooped it up and took a look, then smelled it, and there was a fungus aroma.This thing looks like a stone, but the texture is very similar to fruit.When I cut it open with a dagger, the inside was still gray, but a richer mushroom fragrance came out.Put it in your mouth and taste a little bit.Ding Xiao's eyes brightened.This is actually a bit sweet?It's still crunchy.What an amazing thing!

Looking around, there are many such things mixed in the river and the small stones by the river.Ding Xiao decided to call him a water mushroom, of course because he grows in or near water.Who cares if it's a mushroom or not!

Squatting down to "pick up" the water mushrooms, Ding Xiao suddenly heard voices coming from far and near.Xin Xia turned his head vigilantly, and it turned out that it was a big bird running towards the river.The speed is quite fast.It's like treating yourself like air.

Ding Xiao watched in a daze as the big bird rushed to the river, and then stood in the shallow water while drinking and pecking at the river chrysanthemums in the water.He now completely has a feeling of being despised.Nima, this big bird is less than ten meters away from him!With my current hunting skills and strength, it will die as soon as the hunting fork flies past.How could she be such an arrogant nurse herself!

The neck of this big bird is very long, forming a small S shape strangely, but because the body has a plump feeling, there is nothing strange about such a neck.What's more, the head of this bird is not too big, so there is no sense of incongruity.The only thing that feels amazing is that pair of thin and long bird legs, supporting such a strong body, and being able to run so fast, which shows how much strength he has.The bird is actually quite nice.The bird's head looks a lot like a peacock, with a few quills and a slightly flattened beak.Tongshen has beige feathers, only with a red circle around its neck.I feel that this feather should feel good to the touch.

The red-necked bird is the name Tianyan told Ding Xiao.It really does match.Just as Ding Xiao expected, when he threw the fork, the effect was obvious.The tip of the fork pierced the body of the red-necked bird, and the big bird died within a few tosses.Ding Xiao hurried over to scoop up his prey.It's really... quite weighty!

Originally, I wanted to catch two pheasants to make fried chicken nuggets.But now it seems that if the neck of this bird is stroked, it will be almost one meter thick, and it is much thicker than the neck of a chicken.Chopped and fried should be very good.I checked the part of the bird's leg, and the thin part below is not too thin even at close range.It's all tendons, but it would be very good to scoop up marinade in such a place.Anyway, with the teeth of males, there should be no need to spit out bones, right?

As for other places, Ding Xiao is very satisfied with his accidental gains today.Throwing away the fluffy feathers, this bird has a lot of meat!

On the way to drag the big bird back to the cave.Ding Xiao found a strange tree.The bark of this tree is almost black, but there are white spots on it.It was the white dot that caught Ding Xiao's attention.The sky eye shows that the white spot has the effect of calming the nerves, nourishing qi and blood, and spleen and stomach.And it is a good thing that is sweet, flat and non-toxic.How could this not make him care!

Standing by the tree, Ding Xiao realized that the white spot was actually the gum oozing from this tree.It's not easy to get it down with your hands, so I had to use a knife.After separating the gum, put it under the nose and smell it, and there is a strong milky fragrance.

Out of curiosity, I took a piece and put it in my mouth.Sure enough, it smells like milk, but it doesn't have the fishy smell of milk, and it smells a little more like trees.It tastes like toffee in the mouth, and the sweetness is just right for Ding Xiao. If you eat this thing alone, you don’t need to process it at all!

Excitedly putting down the red-necked bird, Ding Xiao picked up the dagger and began to harvest this magical gum while tasting the taste in his mouth.The longer you leave it in your mouth, the richer the milky aroma will become.The key is that the gum is really like toffee, it will melt a little bit in the mouth, and you can bite after holding it for a while.It really made Ding Xiao more and more satisfied.

It's a pity that there are only five of this kind of tree around, and all the places he can get are cut off and filled with animal skin bags the size of two palms.Speaking of which, this kind of tree is about 30 meters long, which is the kind of tree that is very difficult to look up at the top of the tree.There are still a lot on it, but Dante doesn't want to climb up for a moment.This book, which is straight and has no branches or branches below about 15 meters, will never be in danger!For a few pieces of "toffee", it's not worth dropping it.That's enough to make things!

I dug up a few more onions and found a few fist-sized white beans.Ding Xiao happily went back to the cave.

Scooping out the pot, the first thing he did was boil the gum.If it can be used as milk, at least you can make milk-flavored biscuits for some food.As for the red-necked bird, it doesn't matter, Kun will clean up when he comes back! (--)

Before leaving, Brother Kun had prepared two jars of water.Ding Xiao washed the gum and put it in a pot to soak it in water. After stirring it, he boiled it for a while. The water is water glue or glue.Had to light the fire.However, it is not water that makes the glue melt, but temperature.

As the water temperature gradually rises, the color of the water also begins to change.By the time the water boiled, the gums had completely melted.Ding Xiao scooped up a little and put it in his mouth to taste it.The milky aroma is still full-bodied, but the sweetness drops after adding water.But it can also be scooped up and mixed with noodles.

Set the cooked custard aside to cool.Ding Xiao started to feel bored with the rice.He wants to make grilled rice balls.One is to let Diandian taste something new, but both myself and Kun like to eat it.He remembered that the Silver Wolf Clan should have already started planting rice nut trees.However, due to the different climate and soil, the output is not as much as theirs.But there is always something to eat.

Ding Xiao has already thought about the ingredients used in the baked rice balls.Today he is going to make two flavors.One is milk-flavored. Cut a little bit of milk gel into the rice ball and wrap it with diced white beans.The milk gel must melt deep into the rice and white beans during the roasting process.At that time, brush it with honey water soaked in river chrysanthemum, it should be a good dessert.The other flavor is just plain.It is stuffed with pork and seasoned with five spices.Brushed with barbecue sauce when grilling, I believe no one will not like it.

The mutton buns are a must.Now that Kun hasn't come back from hunting, any pork stuffing is useless.It is more practical to chop lamb.So I got a wooden chopping board, picked up the stone knife and started chopping.

While Ding Xiao was having a great time chopping, he was still humming a little song.A crisp shout came from outside the door: "Brother!! Brother, I'm here!!!"

Although the 15-year-old male cub is about the same size as a 15-year-old boy, in terms of internal development, he is still an eight or nine-year-old child.Ten years of living in the animal world has made Ding Xiao accustomed to looking at the mind of a male regardless of his size.Naturally, this boy who is 1.6 meters tall can also be treated as a cub.But... Dian Dian, don't you grow up too fast?Didn't it mean that the Silver Wolf Clan is not as tall as the Winged Tiger Clan?Why does it seem to be about the same size as Cang when he was 15 years old? "A little bit?"

Diandian who rushed into the cave nodded vigorously: "I am Diandian! Brother still remembers me!"

Ding Xiao stretched out his left hand and rubbed the meaty head: "Of course brother remembers! Diandian is so cute." Especially now that he can touch other people's heads condescendingly, it feels so refreshing!

Diandian's face was full of happiness: "Brother, you don't even know. Father and elder brother are too bad. Every time I go to the wall, they don't take me. I can't see my brother!"

Ding smiled and said: "You are still young. When you are over 25 years old, you can run away by yourself."

Diandian's face was full of depression: "I can do it now! I just need to take a rest once or twice." After speaking, she moved her nose and finally smelled the fragrance after being excited. "Brother, what is delicious?"

The only thing that smells good now is the pot of milk gum, which is enough anyway, so just scoop it out for him and drink a bowl. "I'll scoop it up for you. By the way, where are your parents?"

Diandian was full of anticipation for the answer: "Grandma and elder brother didn't come. Daddy went hunting, and he won't come here until later. Brother, daddy and grandma both said that you and that big tiger brother are very good, it's amazing Wise man. Then can I be like you and be a great wise man? A wise man seems to be much better than a warrior! You can still have delicious food!"

As soon as he scooped up the bowl and lifted the lid of the pot, Ding Xiao was amused by Dot's words.What is the inevitable connection between the wise and the delicious? "Just work hard then. Listen to what my father and mother say, maybe you will be a wise man in the future." Huh?Why did the pot become frozen after it cooled down?How did I scoop it up and knead the noodles! ! ! !
