85. Smokey lizard
It was only half an hour before the jackals returned with the lizards on their shoulders. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Before they went, each of them was leaning on their waists and chests against their backs, but when they came back, they were all in high spirits, but there was something more in their eyes when they looked at Allen and his party, in addition to awe.
Alan didn't pay much attention to it, he remembered that his redeemable recipe seemed to have a few lizard-flavored snacks, and he might be able to try them later.
The gnolls had no plan.
Not in the past, still not now, in layman's terms, this is a race that eats up and uses up its health.
When they get a lot of food, their immediate thought is to feast on their hungry stomachs - but that's just human nature.
As soon as the lizards were brought back to camp, they sprang into action.
The carapace of the lizard is a good thing, and even if Alan doesn't say it, the gnolls know it, and it's much stronger than the shields they have crudely made. Even if it is not used as a shield, it is good to use it as an umbrella on rainy days, and it is much stronger than those broad leaves as a cover.
The rest, for the gnals, is the edible part, in fact they don't have much to ask for food, and rarely need to be roasted before eating, unless the other party is a cold-blooded animal such as these lizards, but the gnoll people will not throw away things that are disgusting to ordinary people, such as those intestinal organs - they are too short of food, and their stomachs are always hungry faster than other creatures.
They respectfully place a large lizard (5 meters long) in front of the guests with their shells peeled and skinned, and invite them to taste them.
Asking a gnolls to give food to others is already a very rare situation, especially if it is so willing. Perhaps in their eyes, Allen's status was already higher than the statue of the crooked god outside.
Once again, Eren understands the truth that as long as you fill the bellies of the gnolls, they will revere you.
Alan beckoned them to leave them alone, and waved them away, and the gnolls, having respectfully retreated, rushed into the army that was biting at the food, and they didn't even bother to roast it, so they tore open their tendons and ate them raw.
Because Silvermane is the leader, because of his status, he can't be as undisciplined as his subordinates, so he still stays with Allen, accompanied by the lame, and a few barbarians who initially greeted them, but those barbarians saw that the other gnolls were already feasting on the lizard meat, and their faces were full of envy, if it weren't for Silvermane, they would probably have run over to join the ranks of their companions.
"Do you need me to let my men bake them?"
Silvermane is more or less aware of the habits of his guests, which is why he invited them to barbecue meat in the first place.
Alan just smiled at this and told the other party to calm down.
He first summoned a cauldron in front of everyone.
Then he drew clean water from the river he had observed, and asked Harvey to help wash the meat and peel the intestines.
The children of the Night Elves don't need to be taught, they will do this when they are young, and besides, according to the algorithm of the Night Elves, Harvey is already considered an adult, so he is relieved to give him these jobs.
He hadn't forgotten about Mirune, although the fawn repeatedly said that she only needed to eat a few leaves or grass, but her food was special, and Connie would bring a bowl to Mirune every day after preparing a salad for herself, and all Alan needed to do was pull the bowl with the food from a specific place.
"It seems that Connie hasn't forgotten your share, otherwise she would really have to eat leeks today." Alan smiled and handed the salad to Mirune.
This series of "making something out of nothing" made the gnolls stunned.
While Harvey was cleaning the lizard meat, Alan himself took the opportunity to flip through the recipes that could be redeemed, and there were two books related to lizards, namely "Crispy Fried Lizard Tail" and "Smoked Lizard", especially the "Smoked Lizard" recipe There is a line of small words "supreme deliciousness" at the back of the recipe, which made Alan decide to make this for today's main course.
Fortunately, when he left the Night Elf camp, he expected that there would be cooking on a fire in the wild, so he brought seasoning, and he also generously took out the food prepared for them by the Night Elves, and feasted on these thorny jackals who struggled to make ends meet every day.
Bacon is different from barbecue, the latter is roasted directly on the fire as long as the meat is processed, but bacon is different, you need to salt the meat first, then add various spices to the pot to boil, and then set up a net rack and put it on a simmer to smoke and roast. Because it has been marinated, the bacon is not perishable, and Alan plans to make more of it in case of emergency, even if it is not needed, it can be eaten as a snack on the trip.
With a snap of his fingers, a fire immediately lit up on the pyre, and Alan asked Harvis, "Is the meat cleared, Harvis?" ”
"Yes, teacher."
"Then the next lesson for you is to salt the meat evenly, but not with your own hands."
"Can you use the hand of a mage?" Harvey understood what Allen meant.
In addition to paying attention to firepower, mages also need precise control, which is the same as the accuracy of archery.
"There's no limit to this." Alan laughed, "But the time it takes will determine your grades." ”
Harvey stopped talking, and began to concentrate on his spell.
The Mage's Hand is just a level 0 spell.
The so-called level 0 is the foundation, just like the sending and receiving of arcane arts, the magic hand is also the same, it can help the mage to retrieve objects in the air and separate thoughts to manipulate objects. For a skilled mage, he can even make everything in a room do different things according to his will, and of course, it takes very strong mental power and multitasking to do this.
Now Harvey was doing what Eren had told him to do, floating the washed pieces of meat in the air and then smearing salt on them with his will. Although it may not seem complicated, Harvey still seems to be a long way from using the mage's hand as well as his own fingers.
But he is also a person who does not admit defeat and is very patient, and he can't control very smoothly, so he tries to slow down the pace as much as possible, and then move steadily little by little, just like when he proposed the split method in front of Allen to stand out.
Alan nodded at his performance, and he changed the cauldron again, and then filled it with spices and boiled it, as for the expression of the jackal, he also saw it in his eyes, he took so much trouble to cook a meal, in addition to the meaning of enjoying the food, in fact, it was also deliberately made for these jackals to see, in order to deter them.
Playing up the magic of the arcane and warning them that it will bring them food and destruction, depending on the position and attitude of the other party.
After many processes, it took about half an hour before this meal was officially cooked.
The smoky scent had already attracted the surrounding jackals, and the silvermane group, which was the closest, had already been swirling saliva in their mouths, and they had to swallow it to stabilize it.
Allen, the person in charge of cooking, tried the taste and nodded, it is worthy of daring to mark the "supreme delicious" dish on the recipe, this bacon is dry but not astringent in the mouth, it will not stuff the teeth, but it is very chewy, and then, the taste of salt and spices from the nasal cavity goes straight to the brain, making people feel that every cell in the body is stirring, and the spirit is refreshing.
Alan thought it was his own delusion at first, but after checking the panel of the acting body, he found that his mental attributes had increased, but in the form of a buff, which seemed to have a time limit.
When I looked up, I was met by a pair of hungry eyes.
Eren then beckoned to him, and the jackals, who had endured to the limit, said, "Let's try the taste!" ”
He wrapped a piece of bacon in a leaf and handed it to Silvermane, the leader of the echinoderm gnolls.
He wanted to say thank you, but the smell was so unbearable that its stomach was beating gongs and drums for a long time, and now it seemed to have reached its limit. Silvermane didn't care about any reserve, he swallowed the meat into his mouth in full view of everyone, the wonderful taste that he had never eaten before soaked his taste buds, so delicious that it even swallowed his own tongue, even if the bacon that had just been taken off the shelves was still very hot, but he still ate it with relish, and after eating, he did not forget to lick the stained lips with his long tongue.
"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!" Silvermane shouted a few words in a row, and then raised his head and whined in high spirits.
"It's okay, there's still a lot of meat here, try to eat it, and be full." Alan stuffed him with another piece of meat, and also gave Harvis, Lame, and a few barbarian warriors.
These barbarian warriors have also been absent for a long time, they were eager to leave the table and join the other clansmen to fill their stomachs, but now, they began to rejoice that they were mixed with the leader, such a wonderful food, how much convincing it takes to be able to eat, as if the hard wait just now is for this moment, any patience is worth it, after eating these foods, they don't want to eat anything else.
Of course, you can't ask the gnolls to be as polite as the Night Elves when they eat, because they have long jaws, and their tongues stick out when they eat, but judging by their happy soul-deep expressions, they are too satisfied with this meal.
Alan looked around and noticed that there were many people who were staring at them eating, and their eyes were still full of hunger and thirst like not long ago, except that last time, they were empty, and this time, they still wanted to eat when they were full.
It's just that because of the deterrence of the silver mane, no one dares to make such a request.
Instead, Alan greeted: "It's almost here, and there are some leftovers, so let's try it too." ”
As soon as he said this, the faces of the silvermane and the lame people became unpleasant, such a delicious food, they were too late to eat it themselves, how could they be willing to share it with others, even if those things were their people, but first, they couldn't eat it now (they had a barbecue not long ago), and secondly, it was Alan who spoke, and the silvermane simply closed his eyes, waved his big hand, and couldn't see it.
The bacon was immediately snatched and snatched.
Seeing this scene, Alan couldn't help but laugh, then looked at the depressed silver mane and patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't be discouraged, isn't it just food, let's just go hunting after eating."
Listening to Allen's words, Silvermane's eyes lit up again.
