18. Barbecue
Yan'er is a very patient girl, and she spins the ingredients on the branches gently but rhythmically.
The original golden bird meat and rabbit meat gradually darkens into a brilliant burnt yellow color under the fire, and the aroma of meat gradually spreads, reminiscent of a barbecue stall on the street late in the middle of summer.
Chen Zhe, who was sitting next to him leisurely drinking warm water, smelled the aroma of barbecue and couldn't help but come over.
"Yan'er's craftsmanship is very good, I can smell the fragrance. Chen Zhe said with a smile.
Yan'er didn't have much confidence in herself, and said with some concern: "Although these ingredients have been cleaned of internal organs and washed several times seriously, there are no fishy ingredients such as cooking wine, star anise, and onions in the wild, and I am worried that these foods will not taste good......
Chen Zhe knew that what Yan'er said made sense, bird meat and rabbit meat would have a more or less fishy smell, and without the use of seasonings, the grilled meat products would inevitably be unpalatable.
"It's okay, Yan'er, since it's a wilderness survival, we can't pursue taste too much, it's good to be able to fill our stomachs. Chen Zhe said comfortingly.
Yan'er smiled and nodded: "Okay then." ”
With that, she looked at the bird's meat and poked it with another sharpened stick.
Poking open the burnt skin on the outside, the white and tender bird meat inside was revealed, Yan'er took a look, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Brother Xiao Chen, it looks like the bird meat has been cooked, but the rabbit meat is a little more difficult to cook than the bird meat, so it will be roasted for a while......"
Chen Zhe smiled and said, "Great, there is bird meat to eat." ”
Yan'er handed the bird meat to Chen Zhe and asked, "Brother Chen, do you want to taste it first?"
"Then I'll try it. ”
Chen Zhe was also polite, took the bird meat and took a bite.
Yan'er's craftsmanship is really good, she actually roasted the big bird crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the outer skin was baked with a layer of crispy oily skin, a bit like the duck skin of roast duck, and the meat inside was tender and juicy, and you could spray oil when you took a bite.
However, as Yan'er worried, the meat of this big bird is a bit fishy, and there is no seasoning to get rid of the fishy smell of the meat itself, which makes the roast bird meat taste strange.
Chen Zhe chewed twice and couldn't help frowning slightly, but in order to prevent Yan'er from being sad when he saw it, he immediately squeezed out a smiling face.
"How's it taste? Brother Xiao Chen. At this time, Yan'er asked curiously, "If there is no fishy seasoning, will it be very delicious?"
"It's not unpalatable, it's not unpalatable!" Chen Zhe hurriedly shook his head and said, "The taste is actually very good!"
"Really?" Yan'er asked happily, "It tastes good without seasoning?"
"Of course it's true......," Chen Zhe said with a little humility, "Yan'er's craftsmanship is the best." ”
And at the same time.
The live broadcast room has already cut the camera to Chen Zhe and Yan'er's group.
Although Yan'er didn't see Chen Zhe's frowning action at the beginning, netizens saw it.
Everyone understood Chen Zhe's thoughts, and couldn't help but be warmed by his behavior.
"Chen Zhe is really good, in order to take care of Yan'er's emotions, he pretended to say that the roast bird was delicious. ”
"White lies. ”
"These two people have a very warm feeling, which is really nice. ”
"Chen Zhe is really a warm-hearted person. ”
“......”
However, some netizens questioned this:
"Whether it's delicious or not, won't Yan'er know if she tastes it in a while?"
"I don't know what's the use of telling such lies. ”
"It's hard to eat, it's hard to be delicious, it's so hard to be honest?"
“......”
Seeing that netizens began to discuss warmly, the host Zhu Ranran also immediately started the topic: "We saw that the bird meat grilled by Yan'er didn't seem to be delicious, but Chen Zhe pretended to eat it very happily, I have to say that the mutual affection in this difficult environment is really moving......
Several experts next to him reacted differently to this, some nodded slightly, while others shook their heads frequently.
Zhu Ranran is very shrewd, she knows that because of the previous incident, the expert surnamed Meng has always had a lot of opinions about Chen Zhe's group of amateurs, so she deliberately asked Expert Meng: "Teacher Meng, do you think this bird meat roasted by Yan'er is delicious or not?"
Expert Meng smiled: "The meat of wild birds is often fishy, astringent, and even has a sour taste, not to mention that the meat of this kind of bird is not seasoned, even if it is marinated with seasoning for a day, it is still difficult to eat......
Zhu Ranran suddenly realized: "Oh...... I understand, what Mr. Meng means is...... It's not delicious, is it?"
"Yes. The expert, surnamed Meng, nodded.
Zhu Ranran looked at Chen Zhe, who was eating with relish in the camera, and speculated: "In this way, the reason why Chen Zhe can eat so deliciously is because this is an ingredient cooked by Yan'er herself, so there is an emotional bonus in the food?"
Several experts nodded slightly, all agreeing with Zhu Ranran's speculation.
......
And Chen Zhe is here.
In fact, he only pretended that the bird meat was delicious at first.
Because after tasting it, he found that the bird meat was indeed fishy and sour, like a roast duck that had been sitting for several days.
Even if he can eat this kind of food with his nose pinched, Yan'er will definitely not be able to stand this kind of suffering.
But it doesn't matter, because Chen Zhe has a system.
Item upgrade system.
Take the bird meat in your hand and take a closer look.
There will be a subtitle popping up next to the bird meat:
[Item detected: An all-natural roasted wild bird.] 】
[Item Durability: 42/50.] 】
[Item value: 67 yuan.] 】
[Do you spend 50 popularity points to upgrade items?]
Chen Zhe immediately chose to upgrade and spent 50 popularity points.
At present, there are almost 500 popularity points in the background of the system, which is enough for him to use.
The subtitles of the bird meat changed immediately:
[Item detected: A mediocre-tasting roasted wild bird.] 】
[Item durability: 50/50.] 】
[Item value: 89 yuan.] 】
[Do you spend 100 popularity points to upgrade items?]
Chen Zhe looked at it: "Hmm...... The taste is mediocre, and this is not enough, this day is too busy and tired, and you must eat something good to compensate yourself. ”
Again, choose to upgrade!
Costs 100 Popularity.
This time, the roasted wild bird has changed again, from "a mediocre roasted wild bird" to "a delicious roasted wild bird".
"That should be fine. Chen Zhe pondered quietly in his heart, and then picked up the bird meat and took a bite.
Still has a crispy appearance and elastic meat, Chen Zhe takes a bite, and the bird meat can splash with oil.
However, this time, instead of being fishy and sour, the bird meat has a sweet taste, just like a fine roast duck, which is very delicious.
"Well, this bird meat is really good!" Chen Zhe said with sincere admiration.
"Really?" Yan'er next to her couldn't help but be a little skeptical, would the bird meat that had not been marinated with seasonings really be very good?
Chen Zhe didn't explain, but directly handed over the bird meat, and said with a smile: "Taste it, you can taste it, and you will know that I am not lying to you after tasting it." ”
Yan'er took it and tasted it, and then her eyes widened.
"Oh my God, this is so delicious, isn't it? It's like roast duck......" Yan'er couldn't help but let out an exaggerated exclamation.
But it's not a show, it's an exclamation of real feelings.
Yan'er's family background is not good, she has only eaten roast duck twice since she was a child, and it is not a roast duck bought in a roast duck shop, but the one that costs 15 yuan and a half at a roadside stall.
But the roast bird meat in her hand is not inferior to the roast ducks she has eaten, and it can even be said that the roast bird meat in her hand is better than all the roast ducks she has ever eaten!
For her, it was already an unexpected surprise.
