70. Cooking
After being a concert hall cleaner and a road inspector, Yang Chao began to work as a mushroom gardener, cleaning up the remains of gibbons left over from devouring mushrooms.
Walking among the densely grown mushroom bushes, the thick caps of the mushrooms clinging to the arms and bodies, outperform the softest couches, and the comfort corresponds to their dangerous dΓΉ.
Compared with the trembling Yang Chao, Li Fei walked through the mushroom bushes at will, sometimes the mycelium would wrap around his arms, shoulders and backs, and the fungus cover would come over to block the road when he was unhappy, forcing people to detour.
Yang Chao, who had the same experience, turned blue on his whole face when he was tied up by mycelium.
The mushroom quickly let go of him and went to "test" Li Fei, and Yang Chao took the opportunity to drag out the gibbon under the mushroom. He mistakenly thought that Li Fei accompanied him in to "attract" the attention of the mushroom, and he didn't dare to delay time, so he ran and moved, dragged it and ran, as soon as Li Fei turned around, he found that it was empty behind him in a few minutes.
ββ¦β¦β
This work efficiency, probably the mushroom will also give Yang Chao a high score because of satisfaction?
"I don't need to eat so much." Li Fei cleared his throat and reminded Yang Chao.
When the latter heard this, he squatted on the side of the road panting, looking at the loot piled up high, his expression was happy and worried.
He guessed that the food was not enough, all he had eaten in the past few days were biscuits, this was just a small snack, Yang Chao ate five packs in two days, he couldn't die of hunger and couldn't eat enough, how many biscuits were in a box? This is not the way to go.
He also ate the corpse of the gibbon last time he entered the abandoned world, and the small half of the monkey's arm pulled out from under the mushroom with a long hook did not have much meat after cutting it, and it was so hard that he couldn't bite it, and Yang Chao had a toothache for three days after eating it.
However, in order to survive......
Yang Chao made a bitter face, found a knife to remove the fur, lowered his head and drank a mouthful of blood.
Li Fei didn't have time to stop it, but seeing Yang Chao cut off another piece of meat and closed his eyes and was about to stuff it into his mouth, the resolute determination of "I can't spit it out even if I die" made people feel funny.
"Wait."
Yang Chao turned his head blankly, then patted his head and handed over the piece of meat: "Brother Li, you eat first." β
Li Fei glanced at Yang Chao deeply, he was more than clever, not resourceful, and would not diverge his thinking and connect with the facts.
"Have you forgotten what my ability is?"
"......" Yang Chao was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, and endless joy flowed out of his eyes, quickly spreading to his face and the corners of his mouth, and finally Yang Chao's whole person fell into ecstasy.
Fire!
High-level Fire Control Abilities! There was cooked food to eat!!
Without waiting for Li Fei to speak, Yang Chao jumped up and ran to a hypermarket next to him, and ten minutes later came back with two plastic baskets, a bag of steel skewers for barbecue, pepper, salt, ginger powder, and a special grill.
ββ¦β¦β
Although in the abandoned world, everyone doesn't pay, and when they find a house, they take their clothes and wear them, but this picnic barbecue posture is too much!
Li Fei looked up at the name of the hypermarket, and Yang Chao had already begun to marinate meat with salt.
"What didn't follow you into the forsaken world, it's useless to use it......"
"It's not sterilization, it's texture." Yang Chao worked hard.
"Wash it off, or after a few meals, you'll feel like you're about to die of saltiness when you return to the real world." Li Fei waved his hand, and the spice bottle flew back into the shopping basket.
"I don't need that."
The box containing the brand new stainless steel barbecue grill was brought back before it could be opened.
"That's enough." Li Fei only took the steel stick in the end.
Yang Chao had no choice but to carry the basket back to the hypermarket.
He thought that he would be able to eat cooked meat when he came back, but what was waiting for Yang Chao was more than a dozen balls of charcoal, and Li Fei didn't have time to destroy the corpse, and he was hit by a kitchen killer, and he was not embarrassed, and calmly said to Yang Chao: "Let's go on skewers." β
S-level fire ability, ability control zhì Cheng dù level is high - it does not mean that you can make barbecue for the first time.
Yang Chao: "......"
Silently cut the meat and continued to skewer, this time Yang Chao saw a fire floating in mid-air, and several strings of steel sticks were hanging on it and rotating, the speed was even, and the fire was not too fierce, but it was difficult to cook.
Thinking of the taste of eating raw last time, Yang Chao felt that this was a problem with meat, and it had nothing to do with Li Fei's skills.
The meat slowly changes color, and after ten minutes, it turns directly to pitch black, with no meaty aroma, only black smoke.
Yang Chao said with difficulty: "Brother Li, I think you have to cut a few knives on the meat if you want to roast half of it......"
This building yì is good.
In the third test, there was an extra knife next to the flame, and from time to time it flew over and slashed in the middle of the meat pieces, and this time the smell of meat finally wafted out, but the smell of burnt paste was stronger.
Yang Chao didn't wait for Li Fei to speak, and silently began to skewer the fourth batch of meat skewers.
***
"What does it smell like?" Jian Hua took a deep breath and looked puzzled.
Walking through the traffic jam and finding mushrooms growing vigorously all over the ground, Jian Hua immediately knew that a monster had come.
The strange smell that lingered on the tip of his nose, Jian Hua also understood the reason. This is the fifth day of their entry into the forsaken world, most of the people are running out of water, and the monster corpses have become a new source of food.
Compared to people who can only eat it raw, the fire ability can at least eat it.
- After seeing the pile of gibbon fur remains stacked high above Yang Chao beside the blank eyes, as well as the pile of various black charcoal around Li Fei, Jian Hua felt that he might have to eat the sentence just now.
What's the use of playing with fire, you can't even bake meat!
"Brother Li, these are the last two chances." Yang Chao reminded in horror.
He thinks the raw meat is good, at least he can eat it.
The closer Jian Hua got closer, the more he felt the smell of burnt, and he couldn't bear to ask, "How long have you been roasting here?" β
Li Fei was engrossed in pondering the inevitable connection between fire and meat, and this time, he found that the mushroom bushes were refreshing and clean, and there were no half-gibbon corpses in his field of vision, and the fur piled up next to Yang Chao was at least one meter.
"You have to learn to cook things." Li Fei explained implicitly.
They were trapped in the forsaken world for five days this time, and what about next time? What if it's ten days, a month?
If he can't get something cooked, Li Fei feels that he doesn't need to drive a Porsche Cayenne when he goes out in the future, just drive a truck.
Jian Hua asked expressionlessly, "Then are you ready?" β
"......" has explored a hundred different ways to grill charred monkey meat.
Li Fei looked away, rarely revealing traces of weakness, Jian Hua sighed heavily in his heart, if Li Fei was not his friend, he really didn't want to bother to persuade:
"What if you could cook raw meat, and your stomach could eat that?"
Obviously, you can't even do the noodles, wontons, potstickers, and buns on the stall at the entrance of the hospital!
Jian Hua's words hit the key point of death, Li Fei flashed, and the barbecue on the steel skewer was carbonized again.
"I don't eat it, someone can eat it." Li Fei replied calmly and led the topic to Yang Chao, "Abandoning the world of food is scarce, if you want to accomplish your goal, you can't starve others to death." β
As for what he originally planned to do, mastering this craft, lest Jian Hua have to go out and make a difficult choice against monkeys and mice when he is hungry, Li Fei didn't want to say a word.
"Brother Qiao, you persuade...... There's really not much meat left. Yang Chao wanted to cry.
Jian Hua deliberately concealed his name, but Li Fei still called him by his English name, or "Jodi", in front of outsiders.
Although Yang Chao didn't know what the relationship between the two was, it didn't prevent him from guessing that Jian Hua was also a powerful ability. In an abandoned world, it is always right to fear the strong, not to mention that Jian Hua and Li Fei also have a life-saving grace for him.
Yang Chao looked at the flesh with his eyes blank, and stopped talking.
I don't know if it was the sacrifice of the meat skewers before that someone's barbecue skills finally changed from quantitative to qualitative, or the arrival of Jian Hua stimulated Li Fei, this time after the steel skewer was evacuated from the flame, it exuded the unique smell of burnt meat, and the surface of the meat was cut off obliquely, and ten parallel cracks were cut carefully and accurately, from the inside to the surface of the meat was just the right color, and the fat was bubbling.
It's not successful, it's amazing!
"Xiao Yang." Li Fei motioned for Yang Chao to wear anti-scald gloves and take the steel skewer.
The latter was in a hurry, almost intoxicated by the aroma.
"Eat it when it's cold."
"Huh?" Yang Chao was surprised.
With Li Fei and Jian Hua in front, why is it his turn in the first string?
"I ate outside." Jian Hua was telling the truth, even if he didn't, he wouldn't touch the limited food.
As for Li Fei, that can't be ......
Yang Chao, who had been hungry for most of the day, finally waited for the meat to be cooler, and took a bite excitedly, and then his whole face wrinkled. The corners of Jian Hua's mouth twitched, and she had a bad premonition.
After trying to swallow, Yang Chao raised his head and said to Li Fei, who was waiting for his answer, "No scorch." β
"That's it?"
"Than ...... Much better than raw meat. Yang Chao searched his stomach and found such a compliment.
God knows how exciting his taste buds will be when he takes this bite of meat!
After roasting, the fishy smell of raw meat is gone, and you can bite it, which is very friendly to your teeth, but your friendliness to the tongue has not improved! The smell of burnt and dry is like the oil residue after refining the fat oil, and it tastes after boiling it with the yellow lotus for three hours.
It was so bitter that Yang Chao's eyes were so wrinkled that he couldn't find it.
ββ¦β¦ If it's unpalatable, don't eat it. "Li Fei didn't want to poison Hei Yuan's future subordinates.
"No, Brother Li, it's really easier to eat than raw meat." Isn't it a little bitter, the taste is a little worse, and the taste is much better than the smell of raw meat and you want to vomit!
The two watched with subtle expressions as Yang Chao finished eating this skewer of barbecue, and he didn't waste it at all.
And Yang Chao already felt that the air he exhaled was all yellow lotus smell......
The most terrifying thing is that Yang Chao felt that he was not full, and he looked at the raw meat on the skewer in pain.
At this time, the ground suddenly shook slightly, Yang Chao jumped up, and the kind of "saved" happiness was almost about to turn into substance.
"Pack up your things and go back to the car, leave the monster's corpse alone!"
The violent course of shaking is related to the stability of the abandoned world.
Li Fei Jianhua ran to the side of the car, opened the door and sat in, and when he still had time to buckle his seat belt, he experienced a familiar drowsiness, his eyes were dark, and then the sound of horns and noisy noises returned.
The on-board system shows the time, December 25.
"You went out this time and found Corgi and the girl?" Li Fei, who changed to the co-pilot, asked sideways.
The forsaken world lasted too long, and the supernatural could starve to death, and Jian Hua went out to look for it from the third day, and the girl mentioned that her family lived nearby.
"Well, I found it. They ran to the Luzhou River, five kilometers away. Jian Hua put on the gloves he used to drive, and said nonchalantly, "There is a new kind of monster in the river, which looks like crabs, and they live by eating that these days." I also tasted it, it tasted good, Yang Chao really suffered in vain. β
