Through the wild jungle to be king

Over there, Lemon coaxed Laika to sleep like a little brother. When he turned his head, he turned into a little brother asking for credit. He wobbled over to tease Laixi, sucking his finger and his eyes were shining, "Brother, brother is asleep!" , roasted bird..."

Lai Xi touched his brother's fluffy head in embarrassment, "Brother can't bake, can we wait for two more days? Wait for Brother Riley to come back?"

Clement was not happy anymore, he stopped sucking his fingers, his big eyes radiated bright disappointment, "Bird, you need to be thin..."

Lai Xi was actually half a year older than Lai Meng. Except that he was half a head taller, his mental development was almost the same. Hearing what his younger brother said, he also fell into a difficult situation. And he seems to be an adult with good barbecue skills.

So, what else do you not understand?Ji Haoran is now afraid of going back to Ques' house. It is a headache for children to mess around without understanding, but a large group of cute creatures who are supposed to dislike cats and dogs suddenly become cautious, even if the object of their caution is not themselves, The result was even more sad. Ji Haoran immediately rolled up his sleeves, and asked while stroking Riley's house, "What do you want to bake? I'll do it."

In the yard where the hay nest used to be, now there are four or five small soil baskets lined up in a row, all of which are made of branches and rattan. They are of different sizes. Said that Riley is really a good hand in life, he learned the craft from Ji Haoran, and immediately made the best use of it by analogy.Lexi walked over, opened one of the interlocking two, pointed inside and said, "Bird, Brother Riley caught it!"

Ji Haoran stepped forward and recognized it as the most common songbird in the tribe.

This kind of bird is bigger than a sparrow, and it is the most common bird in the [-] mountains behind the tribe, and even the tribe often flies in.This kind of bird, because it only sings for a while before the sun rises in the morning, has gained the name of the morning warbler.They do not fly very high, but they are very explosive in an instant, and their courage is as small as their size. Although they have a large population in the mountains and forests, they are not very easy to catch. If you catch them specially, you may not be able to catch a few of them in a day Naturally, no one would go after them, but Riley's family is more or less a special poor household in the tribe, so it's not surprising that Riley would grab some as snacks for his younger brothers.

To Ji Haoran's surprise, the dozen or so songbirds in the basket are all sluggish, their stomachs are flattened when they are squeezed with their hands, and they have no food at all. No wonder when Lai Xi opened the basket, they One by one, they lay motionless at the bottom of the basket.

Ji Haoran finally understood what Lei Meng's phrase "the bird is thin" meant.

He was angry and funny, and it was rare to see Riley forget to feed the birds when he was too busy to do things, making these birds look like African refugees.

Since Ji Haoran took the initiative to get his upper body alive, Ji Haoran didn't want to be too perfunctory, so he simply pointed to Laika who was drooling in sleep and said, "Take him and go to my house." He returned home with a bunch of little tails.

I don’t think it’s perfunctory, but when there are endless shouts of killing at the foot of the mountain, and when a tragic roar is a life, Ji Haoran is not in the mood to refurbish frying and frying tricks. fry!

No matter how wealthy the family is in the tribe, it is very rare to catch wild prey. The orcs have a good appetite. Cooking is a change, so his family uses meat oil roasted with animal fat. Now Lai Xi helps to process the bird feathers. Ji Haoran sets the fire by himself, and soon throws the cleaned white striped bird into the melted meat. Fry them in oil.

Lai Xi, who had been rushing by her side when You Hua was hugging her, was taken aback. As soon as Ji Haoran's eyes were blurred, a little tiger appeared in front of Ji Haoran's eyes, paws fiercely on the ground, with a nervous expression on his face look around.No matter how depressed Ji Haoran was, he was screwed, he laughed.

Laughed a few times and found that something was wrong, and turned around to find that Lei Meng squeezed into Ji Haoran's temporary shack at some point, and fell asleep with his brother in his arms.

Naturally, the shack is a thrifty triangular tent. This time, Ji Haoran didn't even bury the stakes. He just pulled two ropes around the corners of the saplings in the courtyard wall and covered it with a piece of Toulon animal skin. That is, it can cover the sun during the day, so that the body will not be covered with dew in the morning.

Fried food cooked quickly, Ji Haoran fished out one and gave it to Lai Xi first.

The little guy was already drooling three thousand feet before the food was out of the pan, Ji Haoran joked and at the same time told him, the oil is hot, be careful and eat slowly.He didn't think about the effort of covering the two smaller ones with wolf skins, and when he came back, Laixi was already sucking his fingers with empty hands.

"Finish?" Ji Haoran was startled, this speed.

Lexi's eyes were reluctant to leave the songbird in the fryer, but his little head shook again and again without hesitation.

"Put it back."

"Ah, why, isn't it delicious?"

"Delicious!" Laixi retorted hastily, while still not forgetting to lick his finger, and then said seriously, "But we have to keep it, Grandma and Brother Riley don't know when they will come back, and Lemon will be hungry. "

It was as if his heart had been pinched by a small hand, and in Ji Haoran's head, the old phrase "the child of the poor should be the head of the family" suddenly popped up.

Such things as atmosphere can't be shaken off wherever they go, and Ji Haoran also feels that he is stupid.

Hurriedly rushing back to Ques' house before dinner, because Lemon and Laika were still sleeping, Laixi gave up Ji Haoran's invitation and stayed to take care of the two younger brothers.Ji Haoran coaxed him to eat two crispy deep-fried morning songbirds first, and promised to help him catch them later when he was free.

This is really... an upside-down transaction in a hurry, Ji Haoran was thinking embarrassingly along the way.

Arriving at Ques' house, before he walked in, Ji Haoran felt an indescribably depressed atmosphere permeating the small courtyard. Ji Haoran was startled, thinking that something happened to Ques, and quickly walked in.

The yard was used as the kitchen by the Ques family, and there were a dozen or so fat fish weighing about ten catties lined up on the ground. They hadn't completely breathed out yet, and there was a fresh fishy smell in the air, and occasionally there were fish. There will be a feeble slap of the tail of the fish, and the scales of a dozen fish are all torn apart, and some of the silvery white bellies still have bloody pits where the five fingers with sharp nails were buckled, which shows that they were all killed by bare hands. Captured this brutal fact.

Ji Haoran carefully walked around the fish on the ground, and saw Sydney squatting on the ground with his back facing him to raise the bonfire.

"What is this for? Cooking fish at noon?"

Sydney turned around in shock, saw Ji Haoran quickly smiled, and then continued to work on the fire.

Ji Haoran always felt that there was a bit of bitterness in that smile, something like Coptis chinensis was hidden, he couldn't help being puzzled, turned his head to look, and found that the little cute creatures were all scattered far away one by one, and they had already scattered to the nearby yard , After a few layers of saplings, I looked here.

Ji Haoran was confused, so he stepped forward and knelt down to help Sydney.

With Ji Haoran's help, Sidney raised his hand and took out the black gold wooden sticks that are usually used to skewer barbecue.

Naturally, black gold wood was named by Ji Haoran. It was something discovered only when he came to the tribe. It was also one of the daily necessities that Teddy sent to Ji Haoran one after another. The paint is smeared black, anyway, the whole body is dark, the wood is as dense as metal, the tentacles are heavy, and it is not afraid of fire.

While Ji Haoran carefully gathered the flames to blow them up, he watched Sydney skillfully insert the ebony wood along the two cheeks to skewer the big fat fish.

The ebony wood has a strong load-bearing capacity, and three fish weighing [-] to [-] catties can be strung together on a stick as thick as a little finger without bending a bit.

The gills of the fish are all connected, and Sidney quickly skewered more than a dozen fish into five big hangs.

Seeing Ji Haoran staring at him, Sidney smiled embarrassedly, "You don't like fish either, do you? It's okay, I'll ask Rui Tan to find Ques in a while, and I'll get you some raw meat..."

Ritan is currently the oldest child adopted by the Ques family, a little saber-toothed tiger, who will enter the reserve scouts in half a year.

Ji Haoran was about to shake his head, remembering that Sydney couldn't see, and said, "Don't bother, I can eat anything. Ah, by the way, why did you change the food today?"

"The war is on, and you can't go out to hunt. This is the only food in the tribe now; in fact, there is still some raw meat, which is stored in the holy place. Ques said that the soldiers will lose their appetite when they are injured, so they have to save some raw meat for them to replenish." Body..." Sidney rubbed his hands helplessly while explaining to Ji Haoran in embarrassment, and finally emphasized, "You really don't have to force it, if you don't like it, I'll call Rui Tan—Rui Tan—"

"No, really not," Ji Haoran raised his hand to stop Rui Tan from coming, and said sincerely to Sydney, "I don't like it, I haven't eaten it for a long time, and it's okay to eat some!"

In order to show that he really doesn't dislike fish food, Ji Haoran squatted down, picked up the fish that Sidney had already skewered, and began to scratch the scales of the fish, "It sounds like you really don't like eating fish. Appetite!"

Sidney was watching at first, and when he heard Ji Haoran's question, he simply squatted down, picked up another string of fish, and said, "Who would like it? There are so many fishy thorns, if there is no food in winter, no one would like it." , except for its card, but... Hey, who made today's beast tide come so early... Uh, what are you doing?"

Ji Haoran was doing it smoothly, but he was stunned when he heard this question, and he paused for a moment before he realized, "Scraping! Why didn't you shave your scales before?"

Ji Haoran...

Sidney has strong learning ability and fast work speed, and his hands are as strong as pliers. Such a big live fish can't climb Wuzhishan Mountain in his hand. With his help, a dozen fish were quickly scraped.

After scraping the fish scales, Sydney picked up the ebony wood hesitantly, "Can it be roasted now?"

Ji Haoran shook his head, and picked up a large scale like snowflakes on the ground, "No, I still have to open it up..." Pushing the scale to Sydney, "Help me, I'm not that strong."

Demonstrating the action of using fish scales as blades, Sydney cut the scales in doubt. The sharp scales and Sydney's hand strength really cut open the stomach like cutting tofu.

Ji Haoran sighed, "This is called a hand!"

When he looked up, he saw Sidney looking at him disapprovingly, "These, you can eat too...too wasteful..."

"Ah?" Ji Haoran looked at Sidney, and then at a large pile of viscera that had been pulled out from a dozen or so fish roe, liver, fish intestines and swim bladder, etc., "Uh, I know, I didn't say to throw it away. Lose."

Ji Haoran hurriedly looked for the container, and found that there was only one huge stone pot in Ques' house, Ji Haoran couldn't lift it up at all, so he had to run back, picked up a lot of things like intestines and fish eggs, and threw them into the pot .

After finishing all these tasks, Ji Haoran came back with a stone ax full of sweat, only to find that Sidney was still standing there, staring blankly at him, with strings of white fish strewn around his hands and feet, as if Ji Haoran's hand Tossing, tossing completely confused him, so that this able housewife has no idea how to continue with the next work.

Ji Haoran laughed, walked over with a slap on the forehead, threw a fish flat on the ground, and then tapped lightly on it with the blunt end of a stone axe. The side line of the water flow said, "From the head to the tail of the fish, there is a line under the skin of the fish, called the fishy line. Now I will soften this piece of meat and loosen the fishy line, and the fishy line will be pulled out. Didn’t you say that the fish is too fishy to taste? Let’s pull out all the fishy threads in a while, and the fish will no longer be fishy!”

In fact, pulling the fish line is the easiest way to remove the fishy smell when making homemade steamed river fish. The effect is very obvious when there is no secret recipe to remove the fishy smell. Ji Haoran watched from the side with Sydney doubtful, and smashed one side of the fish body on his own. Loosen, then picked up the fish scale knife again and handed it to Sidney, pointing to the five centimeters from the head and tail of the fish and asked Sidney to help, and cut two incisions one knuckle in depth each.

The milky white threads are hidden in the slightly reddened fish flesh, very conspicuous.

Ji Haoran pinched the end of the fishy thread with the tips of two fingers, while rubbing the body of the fish with the other hand, he slowly strengthened it.

Because the subcutaneous flesh on the side of the fish was smashed loose by the stone axe, coupled with Ji Haoran's skillful gestures, the fishy line was quickly pulled out completely.

When the fishy line was completely separated from the fish body, Ji Haoran spit out a mouthful of air. According to the earth year, he has not eaten fish for at least 40 years. If Sidney hadn’t mentioned that everyone doesn’t like fish because of the fishy smell, He never thought of this technique from many years ago.

In the same way, it will be much easier to pull the fishy line on the other side. Sidney is learning from the side, and his focused expression gradually attracts the attention of the little cute creatures who have been peeping here from a long distance. After Ji Haoran's third The fish was cooked and played, and there was already a circle of water around him.

When the last ray of light was blocked, Ji Haoran had no choice but to look up, only to find a circle of cute creatures gathered around him.

Ji Haoran groaned, only to remember that he patronizes further processing, but forgets that the meal preparation time in this land is very short because of the simple and rough cooking methods. Normally, although the little cute creatures didn't say anything, they all held their stomachs and looked forward to it, but they looked so pitiful.
