Volume 1 Chapter 67 Crazy Plan
"Goo...... Goo. ”
The water in the iron pot was already boiling and tumbling.
Thor slowly put the cleaned fish into the soup pot, then turned around and turned the roast again.
The rich aroma of food fills the entire bottom of the well.
The four of them left the town shortly after dark and ventured into the wilderness, and when they returned, it was almost noon, just in time to prepare a lunch.
To be able to return to the town safely, everyone thought that they had to celebrate, not to mention that they did not come back empty-handed. A whole cut wild boar and nine skull rats were carried back by four people, and it can be said that they have gained a lot.
But when it comes to the real loot that can be distributed, there is actually nothing. The boar skins were given directly to Loton by Solse, and the wild boar boar was also sent to Jean Loton and Valle to their homes, and now there are quite a few left at the bottom of the well.
Since it is a celebration, the simplest and most traditional way is nothing more than eating and drinking. Considering that there were too many ingredients in hand and that they all needed to be dealt with quickly, the group gave up on the idea of going to the town to eat, and Thor volunteered to take over the responsibility of cooking.
Two fires were erected at the bottom of the well, one for soup and one for roasting.
The barbecue grill was obtained by Lotton from somewhere, and he had carried a pile of processed wood, and after a ping-pong bang, an assembled long table was quickly erected at the bottom of the well.
Valle brought a large pile of firewood and caught two fish by the waterhole.
Shogues went to town to buy some drinks, berries and vegetables, and brought back two small cages for Thor.
Valle was originally very skeptical about Saul's cooking, but after tasting a piece of roast meat, he immediately changed his mind.
"When did you learn it? It's almost time to catch up with the booming barbecue restaurant in the North District, but it feels like something is missing. Valle asked, his eyes shining.
Thor shrugged as he busily explained.
"I've never learned to cook. During the famine, Shogues and I survived by the fish in the puddle, but at that time we had to marinate the fish or occasionally cook a fresh fish soup. ”
"Later, when order was restored to Grey Curtain and I was no longer bothered by food, I used the extra fish as an ingredient to practice my hands repeatedly, which was considered an amateur pastime. It's not about cooking or anything, in fact, this kind of thing is very simple, practice makes perfect. ”
"For example, if it is salty this time, put less salt next time, eat it yourself if it is burned or the taste of cooking is not good, and the heat will be smaller next time. ”
"I think it's like pharmacy, the first person to study potions, there must be no standard formula in mind. ”
He may have just intuitively thought that it would be better to mix some healing herbs together, and then through repeated exploration of increasing and decreasing the dosage, he finally found the most suitable ratio, which ushered in the first bottle of healing medicine. ”
"When it comes to barbecue, I personally think that it is the easiest in terms of processing, except for the seasoning, it is nothing more than the thickness of the meat slices, the mastery of the heat, etc. I once read in a book that said that you can make the meat softer by beating it properly, and then give it a try when you have the chance. ”
"As for what's missing, it's the hot sauce, which is the kind of spice with a slightly sweet and spicy taste. But I think it's the secret recipe of that store, and I can't figure it out for now, so all I have now is salt and black pepper. ”
Waller listened with relish as he munched on the roast as Lorton leaned back on the table and raised his chin at the cages in the two corners of the well.
"You're going to raise a skull rat?"
Thor glanced up.
"Yes, I'm going to give it a try, and when I cleaned up the battlefield with Shogues, we found that three of the nine skulls were still alive, but I was temporarily knocked unconscious, so I left a male and a female. ”
"My idea is that the danger of the head rat comes from the three-dimensional line, so maybe I can try to control the number and kill the male when the female rat is pregnant. ”
"The period during which the mother gives birth should be the most dangerous part, because usually one litter may be more prolific, and the number will temporarily exceed three. ”
"But I suspect that the phenomenon of intelligent tandem between cranial rats probably only exists among adult mice, because young rats should actually be similar to human infants, in the stage of constructing consciousness in the cognitive world, and probably do not have the ability to think. ”
"Next I'm going to kill the female, pick a male and a female from the young, and repeat the process. ”
"I learned from books that this vegetarian thing is very easy to feed, and some grass root tubers will do. If this is possible, I can even gradually increase the size of the farming by splitting the stake. ”
Lotton looked back at Thor in shock, opening his mouth but saying nothing. While no one in Grey Curtain had ever tried something crazy like this, it seemed quite possible to hear Thor.
What does it mean if this succeeds? Even if the probability of a demon soul appearing is small, it can be increased by a steady stream of slaughter. Taking a step back, even if the production of demon souls is very small, eating skull rat meat regularly is also a good thing to enhance physical fitness.
Thor looked at Lorton and smiled slightly.
"My idea is that if the method is feasible, send the four members of the Brotherhood to the first rank first, after all, it is safe to promote to the first rank, and only the number of demon souls is needed. And from the first order, the battle of our lives can really begin.
"As for the first order and above, then you can only rely on luck depending on the sky. ”
Valle looked so frenzied that he could even breathe heavily, and the roast fell on the table. Even Lorton had to be moved by this crazy plan, but in the end he only carefully instructed Saul.
"Then ...... Be careful, feel free to speak up if you need help. ”
Thor nodded, in fact, the relationship between the four of them has become much closer after this adventure, and they were still too polite to each other before. As for the gap in between, it's actually an adventure to give your back to your companions.
Soon, a pot of fresh fish soup, a large plate of stewed skull rat meat with vegetables, and a whole pot of fragrant roasted wild boar meat were served.
Shogues also picked up the Covier sisters to the bottom of the well, and even Lorton went out to pick up a girl named Ogya. Waller knew it was the daughter of the bakery next door to the Lorton family, and he didn't care.
After introducing each other, perhaps because of the girls' participation, the atmosphere of the dinner was very lively from the beginning.
Valler used both hands together and munched heavily.
For him, who has been hungry all night, the theme at this moment is very clear, that is, to eat, and to eat passionately and wildly.
But...... It soon became clear that something was wrong.
Because he inadvertently looked up, he saw Thor taking out the shells and beautiful stones he had worked so hard to pick up from the cloth bag and giving them to the beautiful girl named Erin.
I picked it up!, Valle felt his bleeding heart cry.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? We risked our lives to pick it up from the beach. Valle tried to force his speech.
Erin smiled at him.
"Well, it's beautiful, thank you, you've worked hard. With that, Erin leaned sweetly on Thor's shoulder again.
“......”
Valle reluctantly turned his head to look around him, his usual most trusted brother-like being, and then he saw a ...... Head?
Beside him, Lotton was sitting sideways with his back to him, talking to the girl named Olga in a low voice, talking and laughing and looking very intimate.
Valle tried to stretch his neck and poke his ears out.
After being slapped on the head with a backhand from Lorton, Waller could only shrink his head in disdain.
Looking at the other side, Covill and Shogues are feeding me a piece of fish and I am feeding you a piece of meat, and they are feeding each other very happily.
Valle felt as if something was coming to his face in the air, and he twitched his nose.
Oh, that seems to be...... Hot sauce?sweet and sour......
Hughess squinted his eyes and saw Valle sitting across from him staring blankly, so he picked up a piece of meat with his fork and handed it out.
Valler subconsciously opened his mouth, and his neck slowly stretched out.
Halfway through, Valle suddenly 'clicked' his mouth shut, and the whole person jumped.
"You...... What are you doing?" asked Valle, looking horrified.
"What are you doing? I see you've been staring at my barbecue, thinking you want to eat it. Hughes spread his hands and said he was innocent.
"You... I.... ”
Valle waved his hands a few times, and finally sat back in his seat with a sad face.
What happened to them? Why did the world change after an adventure? How the hell did I eat a table of delicious food? Valle lost his head to philosophical reflection with a heavy face.
Soon, Valer's eyes finally lit up, and he got up and left the table.
After a while, an orphan was dragged to the bottom of the well by Valer, a very handsome girl in the convent, on the pretext of 'please eat meat'.
She didn't believe it, but she saw the candlelight and the food at the bottom of the well...... It turns out that heaven is really underground.
Then the girl sat down very obediently next to Valle, who kept forking meat for her, but did not eat it herself, but looked at her kindly.
In the end, the girl rolled her eyes and said that she really couldn't eat the birds, and ran away.
Probably the poor girl really ate too much, and it took her three crawls to get back to the ground.
