Chapter 21: The Cooking Skills of the Horse
Bucky slowly let out a breath with a hint of red in his mouth.
No, Mochi is not entirely right, not hot, but spicy, I don't know what kind of strange pepper this guy put in Xiuma, the color of the soup is not abnormal at all, but as soon as it enters the mouth, this spicy fills the entire mouth.
However, when the soup is completely digested in the stomach, the spicy sensation slowly subsides, and the whole body will have a very comfortable feeling, like the winter sun shining on the body.
Overall, the taste is quite good, and although the soup will make you feel thirsty and hot when you drink it, you can't help but take another sip, which will be addictive.
"Scald me, burned me." Mochi ran around digesting, his mouth kept blowing, and finally the white red hair returned to its original state, he wiped the hot sweat on his forehead, let out a hearty moan, changed his attitude in an instant, and said sincerely with the empty bowl: "Please give me another bowl!" ”
"No problem." Xiuma changed his hostile look just now, rubbed his fingers under his nose, and happily served a bowl over.
"Give us a bowl too!" The surrounding pirates shouted.
Xiuma put out a stack of large bowls, put them on the ground, smiled and served them bowl by bowl, "Thank you for your patronage!" ”
At the same time, several barrels of whiskey were opened, and at Bucky's signal, the pirates happily opened a feast.
Mochi served some thick soup and slices of meat and brought them to the boat for Niche and Kabaji lying in the lounge to taste.
He placed the broth on the table, "Kabaji, this soup is very delicious, for the sake of you being a wounded, I brought it to you, okay, don't thank me." With that, he left the lounge.
Kabaji smelled the fragrance in the air, and suddenly felt hungry, muttering: I didn't expect this guy Mochi to have a reliable side, did I blame him before......"
He walked cautiously, picked up the bowl, and drank it in one gulp, and his face turned red at once, and the wound on his chest that was about to scarnate was ripped open again by the terrible pepper that had accelerated the flow of blood, and the delicate blood dripped through the bandage.
He clutched his chest and lay weakly on the ground, clenched his fists, and roared hoarsely: "White-haired bastard, I will definitely kill you!" ”
As the golden wuxi fell, bonfires rose on the beach, and the pirates swept away the gloom of recent days, dancing all kinds of dances and playing all kinds of acrobatics happily, as if they had come out of the previous depression and the fatigue of the day.
Bucky chewed the slices of meat in his mouth, then took a sip of wine, pointed to the jubilant pirates around him, and said to Shuma, "Your cooking skills have been recognized by me, a gourmet, and the masses, so let's go to meet Lord Bear tomorrow." ”
"Really!" Xiuma danced happily, "Then we'll leave tomorrow!" ”
Bucky nodded and asked, "Are we going straight up the mountain?" ”
Shuma pointed in a direction in the jungle, "You have to go back first, and only after the permission of the great patriarch is allowed to go up the mountain." ”
Bucky said that there was no problem, and Mochi came over drunkenly and hugged Xiuma's shoulder affectionately, "The broth made by your kid tastes really good, for the sake of the soup, I won't care about you today!" ”
"Oooh." Xiu Ma looked at his hand, and hurriedly stretched out, "My name is Xiu Ma." ”
Mochi handed over his hand: "My name is Mochi." ”
Xiuma: "Hello Mickey. ”
Mochi shook his finger and corrected, "No, no, it's Moki, and don't add ingredients." ”
Shuma read along, "Moses ingredients." ”
"It's Mochi......"
"Oh, it's Moji!"
Mochi couldn't help but put his hand on his head and kept rubbing it, grabbing his hair messily: "You bastard, are you playing with me!! ”
……
The next morning.
"It's Mochi, it's Mochi......"
The trainer spent the night correcting the pronunciation of the horse, causing him to talk in his sleep even when he fell asleep.
Bucky instructed the shipwrights and the pirates to repair the cracks in the mainmast, while he and Shuma went to the village, and Moki, with two dark circles under his eyes, asked to go along.
Bucky thought twice and agreed, this guy is an animal trainer, and he must have been with the wild ** often before, and the bear spirit in Xiuma's mouth is just a kind of animal, maybe Mochi can provide a lot of help.
The three of them walked all the way through the jungle, and after an hour, they came to the place where the Kumat people lived.
In front of you, there are small villages with brick houses and camping tents as supplements, and the houses are used to store food, and the real place to sleep and rest is the crowded and narrow tents on the side, which is said to be closer to nature, and this tradition continues to this day.
In addition to the tent, there were a few sturdy men wearing animal skins with bear's hand patterns carved around their eyes and on the backs of their hands, each of them holding a spear in unison, and standing slowly, with a sense of déjà vu from the seat of a god in Western mythology.
One of the chubby Kumat people said, "Xiuma, I didn't expect you to bring back two upright ingredients, worthy of being the strongest warriors. ”
Another tall, thin Kumat said, "yes, yes, it seems like we've not eaten this creature in a long time. ”
A Kumat of the older grade laughed, and in an instant, he took out two kitchen knives from an unknown place: "Let's have a banquet today!" ”
As soon as they spoke, the rather frank and solemn atmosphere on their bodies was completely ruined and became a little funny.
Bucky looked at them, and sure enough...... Is it a veritable cannibal......
"Wait a minute, guys." Xiuma hurriedly said, "They're my friends. ”
"What, it's your friend."
"It's a guest, haha."
"I didn't expect you to make two foreign friends."
The surrounding clansmen grinned, and the atmosphere suddenly became inexplicably harmonious.
Not as unable to converse as he had imagined, Bucky calmed down a lot and was about to speak, when several Kumats walked up and unabashedly fiddled with each other's expressions.
"I've heard that my friend's meat is more delicious, and the guy with the cherry on his face looks good."
"I still like the white-haired guy more, I feel like it's going to be more chewy."
Bucky's face darkened, and the dagger hidden in the cuff was between his fingers, and sure enough, the cannibals were unreasonable, and it was better to use force to let them know who they shouldn't mess with.
"Don't come to make trouble, I'm here to see the Great Patriarch." Xiuma stopped the crowd in front of him.
"The Great Patriarch just ate a prehistoric lizard, and now he's picking his teeth." Several Kumat people were a little dissatisfied when they saw Xiuma protecting the two upright ingredients, but they didn't move forward and said truthfully.
According to the rules of their clan, no matter how old they are, as long as the dishes they make are not approved by Lord Bear Ling, they are considered minors, so although one of the Kumat people has gray hair, they all belong to the same generation as Xiuma, so there is no honorific title and politeness in the conversation between them.
A petite old woman pushed away the crowd and walked out, wearing a ring of feathers on her head, her hands behind her back, and two big yellow teeth in her mouth: "That lizard is too old, it tastes like chewing firewood, Xiuma, you brought me a snack after dinner?" ”
