Chapter Twenty-Nine: Tricking the Lynx
As soon as Truffle heard something related to eating, she seemed to be very interested, and she was busy asking, "What is a seasoning?" What kind of salt? ”
Sultan said: "Seasoning is added to the dish when cooking, and the dish will taste particularly delicious when the appropriate seasoning is added." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
Truffle tilted her head and asked, "Really?" But what is a dish? ”
The Sultan rolled his eyes, no wonder, these mountain spirits eat raw food, and they can't understand the deliciousness of cooking, and the food is probably what humans say. So I had to explain: "It's the food to eat, the kind that is cooked, generally the food in our human world will be cooked and eaten, and the most common seasoning is salt, and the food with salt will taste much better." ”
Truffle's eyes lit up and she asked, "What is that salt?" ”
The Sultan replied, "Salt, uh... It is a kind of crystal powder extracted from seawater that tastes salty. ”
Truffle tilted her head and thought about it, slightly puzzled: "Sea water? Then he quickly became excited: "You said it tastes salty, right?" We also have it here, we have a salty grass fruit here, it smells very good, but it tastes very salty, we can see this kind of grass fruit everywhere here, but it doesn't taste good at all, and everyone doesn't like to eat it. ”
The Sultan pondered for a moment, salty grass fruit? Still fragrant? I don't know if I can substitute salt for seasoning, so why don't I try it? Anyway, either roast it raw without a little seasoning, or try two options for salty grass fruit seasoning, and then it will not taste good, so the Sultan muttered: "Truffle, why don't you go and help me pick some salty grass fruit to season this fish?" ”
Truffle hesitated: "This, okay?" ”
The Sultan said, "Try it, maybe it will be very delicious." ”
Truffle's eyes lit up again, and she quickly responded, "Okay." He jumped and went out into the valley to pick salty grass and fruits.
The truffle was very fast, and after a while she came back with a few bunches of fruit, the leaves of the salty grass were red, a bit like a triangle, and the fruit was brown, the size of a pearl, one squeezed into a bunch. Truffle handed the salty grass fruit to the Sultan, and when he saw that the Sultan had piled up the firewood and was ready to make a fire, he asked with some excitement: "Now are you going to make a fire and start roasting?" ”
The Sultan nodded, and was thinking about whether to go back to the charcoal stove in the wooden house to start a fire, when he saw that the truffle could not wait to recite a short mantra, and still opened his mouth very wide, and drank softly, and spit out a fireball from his mouth, and threw it straight to the firewood pile, and the firewood immediately burned as soon as it touched the fireball, and the flames still popped upward, and soon burned crackling.
The Sultan looked at the fire in surprise, and then at the truffle with an excited and urgent face and a little colored, and couldn't help but admire deeply again, this mountain spirit's life ability is really strong.
After the fire was ready, the next thing was to start roasting, and after setting up the branches of the grilled fish, the Sultan picked a few salty grass fruits and threw them evenly on the fish, and the grass fruit burst open as soon as it was hot, and only a little brown juice slowly flowed into the fish, which looked like a little soy sauce, and the color of the fish immediately looked a little better, but I don't know how it tasted for a while.
After a while, the fish was roasted on both sides of the brown, and the fragrance of the grass and fruit mixed with the smell of the fish barbecue slowly diffused, the fragrance was tangy, the Sultan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then look at the truffle, staring intently at the fish, the width of the mouth became bigger and bigger, and without paying attention, a trace of hara fell from the corner of her mouth, she quickly lowered her head embarrassedly, wiped the corners of her mouth, and then raised her head and continued to stare at the fish with her mouth open.
The Sultan only felt funny, and secretly thought to himself, such a fragrant grilled fish, the fragrance should have spread in the valley at this moment, and the bobcat essence should be hooked, right?
Raised his head and pretended to glance around inadvertently, and sure enough, behind an old tree not far away, he saw the figure of the bobcat spirit, and when he stole the spirit fruit and ran away, the sultan hurriedly glanced at it, remembering that the bobcat spirit had a pinch of golden drop-like hair on its head, and the one hiding behind the big tree was the lynx who stole the spirit fruit, it would never be wrong, the corner of the sultan's mouth was lightly raised.
It's a pity that the lynx spirit is not fat enough, and he hid behind the tree for a long time, and he still didn't dare to come over until the fish were cooked.
The Sultan was helpless, but there were still two days left if one day did not succeed, not to mention that even if she lured the lynx spirit at this moment, she still had no good way to subdue him, so as not to waste her efforts, now as long as she knew that the lynx spirit could be tempted by the grilled fish, even if it was successful, she was not in a hurry for other things, so she took the grilled fish down, and just said: "You can eat it." I saw a shadow flash in front of me, and with an "ahhh
The Sultan was dumbfounded, and only heard the voice of the truffle next to him: "Oh, it's hot, it's hot, but it's delicious!" It smells so good! It turns out that the grilled fish is so fragrant, so tender, and delicious. ”
The Sultan was speechless, and before she could speak, a shadow flashed in front of him, and there was another "ahhhhh
The Sultan was completely stunned, and in less than two or three minutes, he heard three "ah-woo" sounds, and the three fish in his hand were gone. Looking at the gobbling truffles, the Sultan exclaimed puzzledly: "You squirrels, don't you only like nuts?" When did you love fish too? ”
The truffle chewed on the fish and replied vaguely: "I, I, and I'm not ordinary, a squirrel, I am, a mountain spirit truffle." This grilled fish is too fragrant and delicious, and I don't eat it raw. ”
Well, the Sultan was speechless, but fortunately, after the truffle swallowed three fish in a row, he was finally a little embarrassed to eat again, and looked at the Sultan, who was still holding two fish and had not yet moved his mouth, he hung his head embarrassedly, touched his belly, and whispered: "You eat, I, full." ”
This guy is finally embarrassed to eat? The Sultan couldn't help laughing, and then he lifted a fish and ate it, well, it tasted very good, the skin was crispy, the fish meat was very tender, the aroma was rich, the taste was excellent, this salty grass fruit, it was simply the common effect of soy sauce, salt and spices, and it seemed to make the fish more tender, too much beyond the Sultan's expectations. Sudan has not opened meat for more than a month, and this taste is even more fragrant and delicious.
One belly, the Sultan was also half full, looked at the truffle that had been staring at himself and wanted to drool, this guy was obviously not full, but he might not be too embarrassed to eat, the Sultan handed the remaining last striped fish to the truffle, and said: "I'm full, this one for you to eat, eat slowly, don't eat too fast." ”
Truffle looked at the Sultan, a little embarrassed and really couldn't resist the temptation of the food, timidly stretched out her hand to take the fish and eat it slowly.
The Sultan looked at the truffle that had finally come down, and then glanced at the old tree hiding behind the old tree a few times and couldn't help but want to rush over, but he didn't dare to do it, and he was so anxious that he scratched the grass Lynx spirit, and asked the truffle casually: "You mountain spirits have spiritual power, so powerful, is there anything you are afraid of?" ”
