Searching for food through the beast world

Wild Mushroom Chicken Skewers

Most of the collection work for half a day has gained a lot.Ding Xiao's bamboo basket is full of mushrooms and leeks, as well as a few small bags of wild fruits for seasoning on his waist.In Joan's bamboo basket, there was only half a basket of pearl fruit, and the rest was used by Ding Xiaozheng to put mushrooms.And the more he looked, the more types of mushrooms he found.He even found some morels that used to be very expensive!Although not many were collected today, he believed that there must be many young and old in Aomori.This was a delicacy he had never tasted before.It is probably because the orcs have never tried to preserve the fungi by drying them, so they only collect enough for one meal each time, so that the forest in autumn is full of all kinds of wild fungi!

However, through picking mushrooms, he also discovered that male orcs can't tell whether everything is poisonous by taste and perception.And usually at this time, they will not eat things that cannot be distinguished.Although Ding Xiao felt that it was a pity that those thick-fleshed and ordinary-colored mushrooms were discarded, but if he was not sure about the perception of wild animals, he should not ask for bad luck just because of his greed. .After all, there are already too many mushrooms.

Joan and He went hunting separately after filling the three big animal skin bags with pearl fruit.In the safe zone around the village that belongs to Tianhe Village, He is not worried that Qiong will be in danger.Although there are occasional beasts that appear nearby, the darkness generally occurs in winter.After all, in other seasons, there is much more food deep in Aomori than around the village.

Joan was the first to spot a black hazel beast.This kind of animal was unheard of by Ding Xiao before.The height of the black hazel beast is about the same as that of an adult dog, and its black fur looks a bit round.It doesn't look very good-looking, and it's impossible to tell whether it's a canine or feline family or something else. The facial features are very blurred, the eyes are pitifully small, and the whole face is flat, with only two big die protruding.The upper limbs are shorter and the lower limbs are slightly longer, but it can be seen that this guy's ears must be very sensitive. As soon as they approached, this guy climbed up the tree directly.

Seeing that the black hazel beast had climbed the tree, Joan felt relieved.So under the tree, while judging how long the black hazel beast can last, he said to the three little guys: "This kind of black hazel beast lives on the hard fruits of many trees. Their front claws are very sharp, and they make holes underneath. The speed is very fast. If he just fled to the ground, if we want to catch it, we have to throw the hunting fork as fast as possible. If we miss the black hazel beast, it will disappear. But it will not go up the tree. It’s the same. They climb trees very fast, but because their fur is very smooth and their hind claws are not sharp enough, they usually fall off after a short time on the tree. At this time, we must also be fast It will do. You see, his hind paws are slipping now."

The three of them looked up together, Ding Xiao was embarrassed when he saw the action of the black hazel beast.This won't last long, it's really not long!There is that you say why you want to climb a tree... IQ is really not good.

The black hazel beast was captured quite smoothly. Before the black hazel beast landed, Joan accurately judged the landing point of the guy after it huddled in the air, and before it fell to the ground, the hunting fork had already been thrown.The result was of course a one-hit hit, and the black hazel beast just "cuckoo" twice and died.The three of them leaned closer to take a look, and all looked at Joan with adoring eyes.Because the hunting fork directly pierced into the skull of the black hazel beast, it was so precise!

Looking at the eyes of the children, Joan was still a little apprehensive.After all, it is definitely a very comfortable thing to be worshiped by others. "The black hazel's fur is best in autumn, because they eat a lot of food in autumn, and then they all go underground to sleep when it's cold."

It turns out that it is still a species that hibernates.Ding Xiao looked at the fur of the black hazel beast, and immediately thought of the black fur hat, it should be very warm, right?And looking at this naked look, it should be more suitable for snowy days. "Father, is the meat of the black hazel beast delicious?"

Joan shook her head: "It's very smelly, even worse than mutton, but some people still like to eat it."

Luxi frowned and nodded: "Yes. My father likes to eat it very much. Although my mother hates him for bringing back the black hazel beast, he just can't change it. I also hate this taste the most. Every time my father If Dad roasts the meat of the Black Hazel Beast, the smell in the yard will last for two or three days before it disappears. It’s very annoying!" However, he likes the Black Hazel Beast’s skin very much, because his father likes to eat it, and he already has enough Made a suit of black hazel hides too.

Ding Xiao is a man addicted to mutton.In other words, beef and mutton are his favorite meats.If this black hazel beast is really so stinky, it may be a bit unacceptable, but there are many seasonings that can be eaten, as long as there is wine.yes!I don't know if there is wine here! "Dad, do we have wine here?"

Joan was very surprised: "What is wine?"

Ding Xiao explained: "It's a bit spicy, but people will feel dizzy after drinking it. Some people will feel very comfortable, but some people will feel uncomfortable. Anyway, if you drink it After a lot of time, people will walk crookedly."

Jing immediately responded: "Are you talking about Huziguo? I've seen Grandpa Di many times walking around after eating Huziguo. It's so funny!"

Ding Xiao hurriedly asked: "What is Huziguo?"

Joan replied: "The beard fruit is a kind of fruit that grows deep in Aomori. It is the favorite food of the sticky mouse. So it is difficult to collect it. It looks similar to a strawberry. Smile, do you know what a strawberry is?"

Ding Xiao nodded: "I still know about strawberries." Khan.

Joan continued: "Many people like to eat Huziguo. As you said, you will feel a little dizzy after eating it. I also ate it once. It tastes more spicy than chili beans, but it is also a bit sweet. The key is that you will feel very happy after eating. Your father said that my face will turn red after eating. Beard fruit is very rare. Although it can be stored for a long time without breaking, it is only enough every year Give it to the elders of the tribe."

Based on the above analysis, Ding Xiao thinks that Huziguo should be a kind of fruit with very high alcohol content.If that's the case, I don't know if it's okay to use it to make distiller's yeast, and of course he doesn't know if pearl fruit can be used to make wine.He didn't think this matter was very reliable.But it doesn't matter, the most indispensable thing in the woods is all kinds of fruits.In addition to the many varieties that I don't know, there are many that I am familiar with!For example, he discovered wild varieties of apples, pears, apricots, peaches, and hawthorns, and he also discovered wild grapes. These fruits can actually be used to make wine.

Although Ding Xiao has never made wine, he has seen how other people make wine on TV.It’s not too much to try. In the primitive era where there were no wild ingredients, there was no other way than to rely on your own hands.Although I don't like to drink, sometimes I still need to cook.What's more, it seems that many people like that kind of beard fruit, but it is too difficult to get the fruit, so if you brew other fruit wine by yourself, you may be able to make a lot of money... er... a lot of money.

While cooking at noon, He, who had gone hunting before, came back with a crooked sheep that was about the size of a cow.Seeing Jing's bright eyes, he can be sure that this kid loves to eat mutton.Then when you try to make a black hazel beast yourself, you should be able to ask him to be a test dish.Hey, always consider the taste of the locals.

After hunting the black hazel beast, Joan hunted a pheasant by preaching and teaching by example.Looking at this pheasant, which is similar to the reed chicken I know except why it is longer, Xiaoxiao was moved.This thing is really kind, so I will eat you at noon today!

The washed shiitake mushrooms look very fleshy. Ding Xiao put them under his nose and smelled them for a long time. Although not everyone likes the smell of shiitake mushrooms, he loves them very much.However, there are many and heavy things to take back today, so they did not bring clay pots, and it is impossible to make soup naturally.Then let the shiitake mushrooms be grilled!The most indispensable thing in the wild is the branches and sticks for skewering meat.

He used the extremely fast speed to cut the peach branches into skewers. Joan had already processed the pheasant at this time, and cut the chicken with a shellfish knife and cut it into pieces according to Ding Xiao's requirements.A piece of chicken is enough if you eat it by yourself, but Ding Xiao knows that it will be too much for the appetite of the four local people around. Luxi doesn't like the taste of the black hazel beast, so eat that Just a crooked sheep.Anyway, for males, the speed of handling large prey is definitely faster than that of orcs handling small prey.

Led Luxi and Jing to skewer the muscles and mushrooms with peach wood sticks, and then He Ye made the mutton into small pieces.But he himself prefers to gnaw on the bones and eat meat with big mouthfuls, so he got his own leg of lamb.

Mutton and cumin are a perfect match, but it's a pity that he hasn't found it yet.So the onion powder and vegetable salt are used for seasoning, which is also extremely delicious for the orcs who are used to the taste of this kind of barbecue.

As for the chicken, Ding Xiao let it go a little bit freely.In addition to grilling and sprinkling vegetable salt and green onion powder on the mushrooms and chicken, he also used two wooden sticks to rub the chicken oil on the mushrooms and chicken back and forth, so that the taste of the copied chicken and mushrooms is definitely not bad, and With fat on the outer layer, it will have a feeling similar to frying, and the outer skin of the grilled food will be slightly crispy, but the mastery of the heat is very important, if it is light, it will be greasy, and if it is too hard, it will be burnt.As for how to master it... To be honest, Ding Xiao doesn't know, everything depends on the situation, anyway, just fill your stomach.

There is also soy sauce fruit for seasoning, which is also the wild fruit that Ding Xiao collects the most today.When the first skewer of shiitake chicken skewered with soy sauce was ready, Ding Xiao picked it up and smelled it, then handed it to Joan, without hiding his anticipation at all. "Abba, try the grilled meat with this fruit. And this mushroom!"

Qiong cheerfully blew on the outermost shiitake mushrooms, then opened her mouth and ate the whole shiitake mushrooms.After the salty taste, there is the unique aroma of shiitake mushrooms, but there is also a taste of meat in the aroma.After swallowing the shiitake mushrooms, what is left in the mouth is actually fresh and sweet.Immediately afterwards, he ate the chicken next to it without even puffing. The skin was a little burnt, but this did not hinder the deliciousness of the gravy inside.The most important thing is that he thinks the aroma of the purple fruit combined with the chicken is very attractive, it's really wonderful! "It's delicious! Mushrooms and chicken are delicious!" After speaking, he sent the remaining half of the skewer to He's mouth, and he didn't forget to blow it a few times. "Hey, try it!"
