Chapter 24: Barbecue
Seeing the entrance of the cave, Li Ji's nervous mood all the way also relaxed, and with the idea of being safe as soon as possible, he quickly shook off the young beast and ran towards the cave. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The young beast that was still leading the way in front was surprised why Li Ji suddenly accelerated, and turned his head blankly to look around, but it was still the same weeds, the same trees, and no other demonic beasts, and no abnormalities were found. His head tilted slightly, and he rolled his two puzzled eyes, looking at Li Ji's back that was about to disappear among the trees. I couldn't figure it out for a while, so I put it aside and stopped being entangled, and hurriedly chased Li Ji with my fat little short legs.
After a while, Li Ji stood on the small slope at the entrance of the cave, and the young beast also followed, returning to the familiar environment, and rolling and playing in the grass with a little naughtiness, as if he was happy and relaxed after returning home.
Not far away is the bones that were buried by Li Ji's own hands, and the abrupt stone on the grave is very conspicuous, always inadvertently attracting his attention. Thinking about it at this moment, although he picked up his space ring, he was lucky not to starve to death, and in return he buried him on this small slope where feng shui is quite pleasant, and it is worthy of him to be able to lean back against the mountains and look at the woods in front. If you let the young beast know that his enemy is not far away, even if it is the enemy's bones, maybe they will be dug out by the young beast and burned, so as to relieve the hatred in your heart. But maybe it's a little untouched conscience in his heart, Li Ji can't do this kind of thing to let others be dug up, after all, people die like lights out, and the past is over, no matter how big the hatred is, people should not be fished out and whipped corpses, this is Li Ji's moral level of understanding under the education of great communism. Besides, Li Ji didn't want the young beast to recall this sad past again. Life is sometimes so wonderful, Li Ji survived because of the space ring of the young beast's enemy, enjoyed the fruits of its enemy, but became a sympathetic partner with it, after all, they all lost their relatives and were alone. One is when I first arrived in this strange world, my eyes were black, I didn't know anything, I was stunned when I saw anything, and I was worried that I would accidentally be swallowed by the sudden appearance of the monster. And the other one, which has just been born, may have the factor of inheriting memory, it is at least much stronger than Li Ji, and its strength is not the same, but after all, it is a inherited thing, and it is not really mastered and familiar if it is not memorized with your own eyes, so it also needs to be slowly realized in the process of growth.
Putting aside the complications, Li Ji suddenly remembered that he had done a teasing incident that lowered his IQ, he was an artifact with a space ring to carry things, and he would actually carry that first-level demonic beast as big as a pig for so long, and he was drunk when he thought about it.
"It must have been that the situation was too urgent at that time, and I forgot about it when I was nervous, and I was left with the usual habit, after all, I didn't get the space ring for a long time, and I couldn't use it as an instinctive habit of life in an emergency. Li Ji silently found a reason for his teasing behavior in his mind.
It's not too late to make amends.
With a thought, the first-level demonic beast that had been carried all the way was taken back by Li Ji and the space ring. Even if he arrived at the entrance of the cave now, there was still a little distance from entering the cave to the resting place, and in line with the principle of correcting his mistakes and being able to walk empty-handed and never carrying his back, Li Ji decisively accepted the first-level demonic beast.
The young beast under his feet was still rolling and fluttering, Li Ji remembered that the young beast could breathe fire, wouldn't that be a mobile lighter, although the first-level demonic beast that was killed by it in seconds looked ripe on the outside, it seemed to be burnt, but I don't know if it was ripe under the epidermis, in case this thing ate diarrhea, then it would be bearable, there were no antidiarrheal drugs for sale in the barren mountains and mountains here, and in the end it was himself who suffered.
So Li Jian made a decision and was ready to roast it himself, how to say that he also has barbecue experience. However, it is not realistic to let the young beast keep opening its mouth and spewing fire to roast, so I thought of picking up some firewood in the woods, although the area around the cave is temporarily safe in Li Ji's opinion, but just in case, I still brought the current force to protect the young beast, and went to the woods to pick up some dry branches and came back.
After returning to the cave, Li Ji simply erected two stones as a fulcrum, then put some dry branches in the middle, and then beckoned the young beast to light a fire.
Fortunately, the young beast was quite clever and did not shoot a single fireball, but only a small flame that fell from the young beast's mouth to a dry branch in a parabola.
"Peng!", Li Ji's first bonfire in this world rose with the help of the young beast.
During this time, the weather was sunny and sunny, and the dried branches picked up were very hot, accompanied by the sound of popping "pop" and "pop", and the fire light and shadow lit up the cave.
Li Ji's heart moved, and he took out the first-level demonic beast from the space ring, held the silver short knife in his right hand, and cut off a large piece of meat according to the position of his hind legs. When entering the knife, there was no such resistance as cutting jerky, and it was cut off very easily, but the meat under the skin was still raw, as Li Ji expected, a piece of red, small meridians and blood vessels were still delicate, and the silver short knife was still sticking to the oozing blood when it was cut.
He picked up a raw branch that he had cut from the woods under his feet, and put it on two erected stones to roast it. After all, Li Ji only had experience in grilling skewers, so for the sake of insurance, and in order not to waste time, he could eat barbecue meat early, so he didn't challenge the roast whole sheep again, because he didn't know how far the whole roast should be cooked before it was cooked, so he decided to seek truth from facts and do something sure in a down-to-earth manner, after all, time is unaffordable for him now, and the ghost knows how many days he has left to live in his life, and it is better to spend time on eating than on waiting for food.
There is no chef (Li Ji is not counted, at most he is a pseudo-chef apprentice.) There is no seasoning, only waiting.
Silently adding firewood to the fire that is about to burn out, the meat roasted on the fire has exuded an attractive fragrance, especially the oil and water that drips from the fire and is incinerated and smoked, which adds a few thick wisps of incense. Even the young beast, which had been dismissive of it, couldn't help but stare at it and twitched its nose several times, apparently even it was tempted.
Reaching out and touching the head of the young beast squatting next to his feet, Li Ji said, "Do you want to eat?"
The young beast's tongue curled up and was about to drip saliva, looking up at Li Ji, his consciousness connected, and asked suspiciously, "What did you say?"
Li Jidan sighed in pain, "Damn the language barrier!"
I had to convey the conversation I had just now to the cub through consciousness again.
"Well, although the meat is a little low-grade, it looks delicious, so I'll try it first!"
Obviously, the young beast was planning to appreciate the roasted leg meat first, taste the taste first, and then decide whether to roast another piece later.
Li Ji was a little speechless, he didn't expect the young beast to be so ghostly, he originally planned to bake another piece for it, this piece has been regarded as his plate meal, and the body of the young beast is so big, if you want to taste it, this whole piece may only be enough for it to taste. However, looking at the now petite and cute young beast, Li Ji gestured. Consciousness communicated: "Okay, then give you a piece so big for you to taste." As he spoke, his fingers were slightly larger than Wangzai's small steamed buns.
The cute and deceitful young beast nodded happily, unaware that he was pitted by Li Ji's IQ. Also flattering wagging tail cheers. was so excited that he stuck out his tongue and licked it for a while, as if he didn't have a trace of dignity as the young son of a saint-level demonic beast. It was its tongue that made Li Ji's heart jump in shock, and his hands and feet retracted into his robe, and he escaped by relying on the robe with fire-sheltering attributes.
The wait is always long, especially when waiting for a large piece of barbecue, which is even more sultry. But fortunately, the fire power of these dry branches was strong enough, and under the watchful eyes of Li Ji and the young beast, the whole leg meat was roasted to a golden brown, and even without seasoning, it was fragrant. Even if you're not hungry, looking at it can make you have an appetite.
Finally, after Li Ji repeatedly picked it up and evaluated it several times, he determined the final evaluation of this leg meat, it... It's already cooked.
The and thirsty Li Ji and the young beast stared at the barbecue meat on the stick, their noses inhaled the fragrance of meat that permeated the air, and their expressions were intoxicated.
Li Ji, who had been patient for a long time, opened his mouth and bit down on a part that was particularly attractive in color, his mouth was full of fragrance, full of pure and primitive taste, this is really good meat, unlike those meat that has been cooked by feed in the vegetable market and has no fresh smell. And the meat of this level of demonic beast is much more delicious than the jerky in the space ring, and there is no comparison to reflect the gap, at that time, life was dying, hungry, and everything I ate felt fragrant, but compared with today's meal, I knew that I had lived a hard life before, and happiness was still today.
"Wang!" The beautiful thought of being immersed in delicious intoxication was ruthlessly interrupted by the young beast, originally Li Ji had caused its dissatisfaction in the process of testing whether the meat was cooked alone many times before, but now that the meat was cooked, he didn't want to share it and taste it, but he was chewing it slowly, of course it had to lodge a solemn protest.
In order to make up for the young beast, Li Ji, who knew that he was at a loss, cut off a piece of meat as big as a dozen small steamed buns with a silver short knife, and fed it to the young beast that had been waiting for the old man for a long time with his mouth open.
The delicious entrance, the dog's face also showed an intoxicated look, but it was only for a moment, and the young beast swallowed the meat like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit, obviously unable to resist the temptation, and his heart was not calm enough, and he didn't want to delay putting the delicious food in his stomach for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, there was nothing left in his mouth, only a slight smell of oil. The young beast raised its head and looked at the barbecue in Li Ji's hand with pitiful eyes, hoping that he would be rewarded with another piece to moisten his mouth, and the small piece just now was used to moisten his throat.
However, Li Ji was not paying attention to the young beast at the moment, but was feeling the changes in the roast meat of this first-level demonic beast after it entered his body.
The expected situation of turning into unknown energy to nourish the body's wear and tear did not occur. It turned out that after Li Ji knew that there were demonic beasts in this world, he guessed that the dried meat in the space ring was made of the flesh of a certain demonic beast, so that he would have the energy to nourish his body. But in the experiment just now, the roast meat swallowed in the stomach did not melt and convert into energy, but stayed quietly in the stomach, obviously waiting for the gastric juice to digest it.
"Could it be that I guessed wrong? That jerky is not the meat of a demonic beast? Originally, I thought that the meat of this first-level demonic beast could replace the status of jerky, so that not only could I improve my diet in the future, but also after consuming the jerky in the space ring, I could quickly replenish the loss in my future cultivation by hunting. Now it seems that this world is really not that simple!"
