Chapter Seventy-Four: Roast Rat Meat

After lunch, the excited little guy was released out of the tree hole, and Lu Feng returned to the battlefield with his godson. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the morning, he just cleaned up the battlefield and froze the slaughtered brown rats with snow, and in the afternoon, Lu Feng began to officially cook these brown rats into ingredients that could be eaten.

In the minds of human beings, rats have always been synonymous with cunning, dirty and greedy, so all words and idioms with the word "rat", such as thief eyebrows, nameless rats, rat eyes, rat belly and chicken intestines, etc., all have the meaning of belittling, contempt, and insult.

But in the Dongguang region of China, rats are a delicacy, and there is even a saying: August rat race fat pig. Even women in confinement, the old and the frail use rat meat to nourish.

"Rustle rustle~"

Letting Xiao [Lu Lu] stay on the canopy of the tree on the side, Lu Feng began to dig a pit, preparing to dig out the mouse corpse under the snow. After several rounds of churning, the icy snow has become a little frozen, and the cold of digging has the texture of sand, and the sound it makes is a little toothy.

"Squeak!"

One!

Two!

Three!

Four!

There were no less than thirty brown rats hanging under Lu Feng's small dagger, but Lu Feng only selected four of them that were pierced through the heart and died, and their bodies were relatively intact and easy to carry, and then they covered the snow again to keep the brown rats inside in a frozen state.

"Squeak!"

Son!

I'm going to a hot spring!

Compared with the house mice in the city and the countryside, the brown mice killed by Lu Feng in this battle are all native field mice, which belong to a kind of wild beast.

They take a variety of wild root plants and mountain fruits on the mountain as their staple food, and also catch insects, birds, etc., with more lean meat, less fat, high protein, high nutritional value and other characteristics, delicious, and even have the saying that "one rat is better than three chickens".

"Squeak!"

It's so comfortable~!

Put the rat corpse into the soup pool waterway to thaw slightly, Lu Feng soaked in one of the soup pools, wiping on the snow in the morning did not completely remove the blood on the fur, at this moment, soaking slightly, the pool water immediately turned a faint pink, revealing a faint fishy smell.

"Squeak~"

Little [Lu Lu] squatted next to Lu Feng, feeling the comfort brought by the warm spring water, and couldn't help but stretch his limbs, stretching into a [rice] shape, and then - it floated up!

The hot spring water contains a certain amount of minerals, which is slightly larger than ordinary groundwater, and the small squirrel has fluffy hair and a small and light body, and the surface tension of the spring water itself and the air carried in the hair are enough to hold the whole body up.

"Squeak!"

A little frightened, Xiao Lu Lu fluttered his limbs on the water and wanted to climb back to the edge of the pool, but after some struggle, he found that he would not sink at all, and Lu Feng was next to him, so he no longer struggled, and let the warm spring water carry himself to swirl and float in the pool, enjoying the warmth under him.

"Whoa!"

Get the job done first, and then rest later!

After cleaning the hair on his body, Lu Feng later crawled out of the soup pool, fished out the four rat corpses from the waterway, and at the same time pulled out the small dagger from the wire scabbard placed on the edge of the soup pool.

The rat carcass has not been completely thawed, and is in a state of soft on the outside and the inside, which is the best state for peeling.

Facing the abdomen of the rat corpse upwards, the abdomen was cut along the wound that pierced the heart, and at the same time from the abdomen to the inside of the limbs, Lu Feng stepped on the corpse with his hind legs, squatted and began to peel the skin little by little.

A gap between the soft fur and the hard muscles is naturally formed due to thawing, so that Lu Feng's dagger can play with ease, three times and five divided by two, cleanly peel off the rat skin, chop off the rat's head and the tips of the limbs, Lu Feng cut open the abdominal muscle layer, took out the internal organs that were still in a hard state and piled them aside, and finally cleaned the rat body with only muscles left in the waterway.

Jumping briskly onto the banana tree, tearing off a leaf that was wide and clean enough, Lu Feng placed the four rat flesh on it, and then carried the [Huanglong] cans containing salt from under the banana tree to the hot springs a few days ago, and smeared the salt into the knife marks while scratching deep knife marks with a dagger.

"Squeak!"

Now it's time to prepare a campfire!

Let the salt and rat meat fully blend through time, Lu Feng ran towards the mountains and forests on the outer side of the hot spring, because of the temperature of the spring near the hot spring, the mountains and forests in the whole area are evergreen all year round, and there are not many dead branches and leaves at all, which is not enough to gather the quantity that Lu Feng needs today.

…………

A pile of firewood slowly moved towards the hot spring in the mountains and forests, and a black shadow flew down from the canopy of the tree, landing lightly next to the firewood, and its flexible front paws uncovered a few dead leaves on the firewood pile, revealing Lu Feng's squirrel face below.

"Squeak~!"

It was the black-haired monkey [Black Moon], which was already a full circle larger than when I first saw it, and its bones began to harden, and it was no longer staggering, and it finally won the approval of the monkey group and could act alone in the mountains and forests near the hot springs.

And after a long period of contact with Lu Feng, the black-haired little monkey left an impression in his mind: that is, if you follow Lu Feng, you will have something to eat!

"Quack~!"

Scratching his head and cheeks, he looked at the firewood on Lu Feng's body, and the little monkey galloped away, and when he came back again, he also dragged a big branch in his paws.

It's just that compared with the firewood on Lu Feng's body, it looks verdant and lush, and the leaves on the branches still have a faint fragrance.

"Squeak!"

Lu Feng, who was a little crying and laughing, let out a soft roar, instructed [Black Moon] to put the branches aside, and then took out a lighter and lit the bonfire that had been built.

Immediately, the flames burned along the specially placed dead leaves, and the tongue of fire began to lick the flesh of the four rats that had been pierced with sharpened slender wooden spears, and the oil flowers immediately appeared, squeaking and screaming, and the heat was evenly distributed to the entire body of the rat.

Soon, the rat meat was grilled by the bonfire until the skin was golden brown, and under Lu Feng's continuous rotation, although there were no various seasonings, it was still roasted to oily and attractive.

Moreover, Lu Feng found that the branch brought by the little monkey was a branch of a citrus fruit, and the leaves of such trees contained essential oils, which were placed in the bonfire to add some special aroma to the roasted whole rats.

"Squeak!"

Here! Take it and eat it!

Seeing that it was almost roasted, Lu Feng took off a skewer of roasted whole rats and handed them to the claws of the black-haired little monkey, watching it take a bite excitedly and run towards the monkeys, Lu Feng hesitated for a moment, chose the thickest hind legs, and slowly took the first bite.

"Squeak!"

The skin is crispy, the meat is soft and tender, and the flavor is good!

It seems that the people of Dongguang are not deceiving!

Although Lu Feng has never eaten rat meat, once he overcomes his inner obstacles, the deliciousness of rat meat is actually better than that of ordinary poultry and livestock.

Tearing off another hind leg and handing it to Xiao [Lu Lu], Lu Feng feasted on it, fully satisfying the body's demand for animal protein in the past few days.

As for the other two skewers of roasted whole rats, Lu Feng planned to roast them more dryly, and then bring them back to the villa in the tree and store them for emergencies.
