485. Delicious
When the big man returned to the camp, the bald head was one step faster than him, and at this time there were several huge water bladders piled up on the ground, and the little man was cleaning the rabbits with the water that the bald head had retrieved, and his hands and feet were quite neat, and two rabbits had already been skinned and washed, and the internal organs that had been taken out were carefully buried under the mound.
"Pretty neat, huh?" The big man said, threw the piece of crystalline salt he was carrying on the ground, and took out the five-pillar weed from his personal pocket, and a faint spicy aroma suddenly wafted into the tip of the nose of the two.
The little man was obviously a knowledgeable person, and suddenly said, "Oh?!" This... Could this be..."
"Haha, we're lucky!" The big man laughed and said, "I've been nostalgic for this smell for a long time." ”
"Does this seem like a kind of cumin?" The bald head sniffled vigorously and asked tentatively, the guide book he bought mentioned some wild seasonings, like wild pepper and the like, but it didn't mention this rare lucky cumin, it seems that the person who included the guide was not lucky enough?
"Probably? Maybe it's just a weed that resembles cumin? Anyway, the way to eat it is not the same. The big man said nonchalantly, "Anyway, you'll fall in love with it once you taste it." ”
"Are you planning to share it with us?" The short man sighed in surprise, "That's so lucky!" As far as I know, this clover is good for the task. ”
As the short man said, some rare ingredients in Blade Mountain can often be exchanged for various task items, and for those top students who are strong and difficult to complete tasks, it is also very common to help others complete tasks in exchange for ingredients, which is also some kind of mercenary transaction, right?
According to Bai Yi's thoughts, he is against this kind of transaction, because it does not serve the role of assessing the student, as long as the student is lucky and gets something delicious to complete the trial? This kind of thing is completely unreasonable!
However, the assassin has some of his own considerations, although he conveyed the meaning of Dean Bai, he did not completely prohibit such transactions, but only stipulated that the trading of money and equipment was prohibited, but he turned a blind eye to the various resource transactions that could be obtained inside Blade Mountain, so there were often situations in the trial where task items were exchanged for task items, food was exchanged for mission items, and so on.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the assassins, the ability to obtain all kinds of delicious ingredients is also a test in itself? This may give rise to hunters of all sorts of talents, right?
But the big man said very generously, "Good things naturally have to be shared with others to experience the real deliciousness, and as for the task, it is enough to have the two of you to help." ”
"Okay! Good! I'll help boil the salt first! The little man said excitedly, ran over, picked up the large piece of crystalline salt, broke off a piece, and took out a sieve from the storage bag, and directly crushed the crystalline salt as much as possible with the palm of his hand, and the salt crystals of Baihuahua fell from between him like snowflakes on the sieve.
Seeing this, the bald head was embarrassed to be idle, and walked over to help, he also learned to be a little man and grinded it directly with his hands, and the salt was broken under his strength, but his own palm was also painful.
Although the composition of this crystalline salt is not exactly the same as that of stone, it is the same hard, and it is still a bit reluctant to grind it directly with the palm of the flesh.
The short man seemed to notice this, too, and said, "Don't force it. As he spoke, he continued to grind the salt like mud.
The bald head couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart, although he always talked about not underestimating the Nanlu Yankee on weekdays, and he kept reminding himself in his heart that there were many strong people in the Nanlu and should not be underestimated, but among his peers, he still had an inexplicable arrogance in his heart, otherwise he would not have said that ridiculous goal.
It's only after getting along this time that he realizes that his level doesn't seem to be top-notch among his peers? Maybe in terms of combat power, he asked himself if he would not lose to two teammates, but in terms of survival... He behaved like a real first-year.
"If you're free, help dispose of the remaining rabbits." The short man suggested, "Then help boil the water, the salt must be boiled before it can be used." ”
The bald head nodded helplessly, and could only run to do this kind of dirty work.
On the big man's side, like a group of students in the College of Engineering dealing with some precision instruments, he carefully handled the guessed five weeds, he took out an inconspicuous iron box from his arms, stuffed the weeds into it, covered the iron box, poured the fighting qi into his hands, and tried to bake the weeds in the iron box with the heat of the fighting qi, so that the water inside quickly evaporated.
If you don't deal with it this way, just wait for this thing to dry normally, then I don't know how many days it will take, and the big man can effectively speed up the drying process, which is also a skill he learned from a senior.
As for how this particular technique was developed, it can only be said that human beings can explode their imagination and creativity in order to satisfy their appetites under extreme conditions.
In the following time, the bald team has been busy with this roast rabbit meal in the evening, and the short man carefully sifted the salt crystal in the sieve several times, removing the impurities in it as much as possible, and then pouring the salt into the boiling water until it is completely boiled dry, and the last remaining salt flowers can be eaten normally, although the taste may not be as good as the salt sold outside, but it can be improvised.
However, it still takes a long time to boil a large pot of water, bald looking at the thin flames of the firewood licking the bottom of the pot, a little impatient, volunteered to use the elemental fighting energy in the body to help increase the fire, with his initiative, soon a large pot of salt water was boiled dry, the short man carefully scraped off the salt attached to the pot, and then changed the iron pot, poured the salt into it after heating it slightly, and stir-fried it.
"It tastes better that way." He explained.
As for the big man's side, he was concentrating on dealing with those weeds from beginning to end, sitting still in place, carefully controlling the fighting energy in his body, keeping the temperature in the iron box in the most suitable position, this is a process that requires special patience, and the big man showed patience that was completely inconsistent with his appearance.
At the end of the day, it's all about eating...
Finally, when it was getting dark, and everyone began to be a little hungry, the big man put down the tin box in his hand, nodded at the little man who had already skewered the rabbits and was ready to barbecue, and took out the weeds from the tin box.
Because of the previous series of processing, these weeds are not as fresh and green as when they were first picked, but as if they have withered, and the moisture inside seems to have been completely dried by the fighting spirit, and the original magical fragrance has disappeared.
But this could not be used directly, and the big man took out a few tin foil-like things from his bosom, wrapped the weeds tightly, and handed them directly to the flames to burn; Seeing this, the short man hurriedly put the bunnies on the skewers.
In this way, there were a few sheets of tin foil between the rabbit and the flames, and the weeds, which had previously seemed to have lost their taste, were burned by the flames, and once again burst out with a fragrance even richer than before, directly smoking the rabbit meat above.
As soon as the bald head smelled the strong fragrance that had been sublimated under the flames, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, who had tasted a lot of delicacies from the mountains and seas? This is not a shame, because the other two swallowed hard at the same time.
In this way, the three rabbits were baked under such a double smoke, the big man almost couldn't wait to tear off a rabbit leg, chewing vigorously, a spicy but not choking, fragrant but not greasy taste instantly burst out in his mouth, with just the right heat, the meat of the rabbit leg, a simple but incomparable delicacy made him so excited that he was about to cry.
In the same way, when the rabbit meat was entered, he almost lost the ability to think, almost following the most primitive instinct, swallowing a whole rabbit until there was only a pile of bones left in his hand, and he licked his fingers unsatisfied, and then he barely came back to his senses.
He didn't understand a little, why could he make such an extreme delicacy that he couldn't even taste in a luxury restaurant when it was in such a harsh environment, when it was just such a simple cooking method and the ingredients he chose were just quite ordinary.
"I really didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious food in such a place." The bald head couldn't help but sigh.
"This is the taste of nature," said the big man, who also had only a pile of bones left at hand, "and this natural delicacy is not found anywhere else." As he spoke, he carefully wrapped the pile of tin foil and put it back in the tin box, and then they only had to grill the food and cook it in the same way.
"Actually, there are many delicious things, as long as we are lucky, we can taste them." The short man smiled and said, "For example, the crusty fish you mentioned in that mission, do you know how delicious the roe of that thing is?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! You don't say I almost forgot, crusty fish roe is a delicacy not to be missed, but that thing still needs to be combined with baobao fruit to be more delicious, of course, if I can beat a bowl of egg whites, even if I die. The big man followed.
Then, the two of them used the experience of their predecessors to talk to the bald head about the various delicacies in this blade mountain, and the bald head showed a look of longing on his face, and his saliva secreted wildly, as if he couldn't wait to taste the various delicacies in the mouths of the two.
For a while, not to mention those optional tasks, he almost forgot about his main task, as if he had run here for a picnic.
