Chapter 89: Born Food-Grade Species
"Patriarch! We're back! ”
As he was talking, the clansmen who went out to look for the traces of the takin came back one after another to report the news, Han Che and Mo Lan immediately got up and greeted them and asked, "Have you found any traces of the takin?" ”
The orc Yan replied: "We don't have it here, Vic's team and Soria's team have found traces of takin!" ”
Han Che was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Okay, let's go over immediately!" Go to Vic's side first, and be careful not to alarm the takin! ”
"Yes!"
Yan nodded, and immediately turned around and led the way, heading to the place where Vic had found the takin.
It is a wasteland in a snowy field, covered with jagged rocks, and the road is extremely difficult to follow. Probably because of the presence of takin, there is not much snow cover, and patches of dry grass are exposed to the surface, making the whole area look gray and mottled.
Mo Lan and Han Che took Yan and the others to hide behind a hill and looked at the takin from afar.
Mo Lan looked over and found that these takins were much smaller than yaks, covered with thick white hair, fat and fluffy, a bit like big goats.
They have a ridge like a ground brown bear, short limbs resembling a domestic cow, and a slanted hind leg similar to that of an Abbasid that is good at running. The taut face was a bit like a moose, with a broad, flat tail like a goat, and two horns like a wildebeest.
These guys don't look like four, but it's not like four, it's six, seven, eight! The combination of multiple animal traits makes for a really weird guy!
"That's too little! Takin like to live in groups, and if they come out to forage after the snow, they usually come together in dozens. But there were only seven or eight of them here, and it seemed that they were just calves that could not bear the hunger and wandered around. ”
Han Che looked at the takin and whispered.
"Uh, really? So these are some calves, huh? I mean, it looks much smaller than a yak! ”
Mo Lan suddenly realized.
"Well, the adult takin is bigger than this calf! Some bulls can even be as strong as yaks. ”
Han Che nodded and explained.
"Han Che, how did you all catch takin? These guys look honest, they should be easy to hunt, right? ”
Mo Lan touched her chin and thought.
Who knew that Han Che shook his head and said, "It's not that easy." Takins have a short temper, you don't see them so quiet at the moment, if they sense danger, they will immediately run in all directions. You see, they're bloated, they're thick and clumsy, but they're very good at climbing, and they can climb a lot of steep cliffs, but we can't! ”
"Really? Isn't that hard to catch? ”
Mo Lan frowned when she heard this.
"Well, usually hunting a takin requires at least five of the strongest people in the clan, and it is extremely laborious!"
Although the takin beef is delicious and the meat is abundant, it is not easy to hunt, and there is still great danger in the hunting environment, so other tribes do not hunt takin often.
But in the cold season this year, the situation is special, so Han Che decided to take his people out to hunt takin.
"Well, then I'll think about it, is there a way to hunt takin with less effort."
Mo Lan turned and sat down behind the hill and began to meditate.
Han Che said that takin has a short temper and is good at mountain climbing, so it is not easy to catch. Coupled with the danger of the environment, if you can't solve it quickly, then your own life will be threatened!
Therefore, to hunt takin, you must start from several aspects. First, you can't let the takin get frightened. Second, it must be fatal with one blow, and it must not be given a chance to escape, otherwise he will flee to the high mountains, and the people will not be able to go up.
But how can you kill the takin with one blow without disturbing it?
If you can't be disturbed, you can't get too close to the takin, and for long-range shooting, the bow and arrow should be the most suitable. However, the skin of the takin is rough and the flesh is thick, and it is impossible for an arrow to hurt the life of the takin, and it is a big problem to kill it with one blow.
Mo Lan frowned, turned around and looked again, only to see a few takin wandering in the snow, looking down for something in the snow with their mouths and noses. There are also a few takin lying in the wild grass, gnawing on the wild grass for a while, the appearance is the same as chewing wax, as if the dead grass is mixed with ten catties of coptis!
It's also a shame that the takin has no expression, otherwise, it must be disgusted to the limit!
It seems that these guys really don't like to eat these wild grasses, just now Han Che said that takin feeds on snow grass, but I don't know what kind of taste this snow grass tastes like compared to wild grass for takin? Isn't it all grass? What's the difference?
Mo Lan was a little confused. After thinking about it, she stretched out her hand and pulled Han Che and said, "Han Che, what is that snow grass you are talking about?" Is it attractive to takin? ”
Hearing this, Han Che immediately nodded and said, "Yes, with my years of observation, it should be like this, yes!" Takin seem to have high food requirements, and tender grass is their staple food during the warm season. But in the cold season, they seem to prefer to sleep on the mountains hungry rather than come out to gnaw on the dry grass. Unless the snow grass appears after the snow, they will come down in groups to feed. ”
"Lazy like this? This takin is really more enjoyable than humans! ”
Mo Lan pursed her lips.
Look at the people's Kumo horses, a handful of hay over, it's a fart, these guys are still picky eaters? In this big snowfield, the animal that dares to survive is probably this takin!
"Well, takins are the most delicate animals I've ever seen in the Kumo Snowfield, and they raise themselves very well. The food only eats the fat and juicy green grass, and the drinking water never gnaws the ice and snow, and runs to the stream to drink the mountain spring water. They are athletic, but they don't like to run and jump, and their favorite thing to do is to lie on their stomachs or lie down on the mountains to rest and sleep. ”
After listening to Han Che's narration, Mo Lan was dumbfounded for a while.
"These guys, do you think you're pigs? Eat, sleep, sleep, eat, no wonder you are so white and fat! ”
Or maybe their meat is delicious? It is tender grass and mountain spring water, and this treatment is comparable to that of the nobility of human society!
No way! When she catches the takin, she has to try it as soon as possible! The pieces of meat that the clan eats daily are all unknown beast meat, some are sour, some are astringent, some are bitter, and one of the collective problems is that they are hard and woody!
But this takin is different, it is so good at raising, it seems to be a natural food-grade species!
Mo Lan rubbed her hands together and smiled greedily. Because what comes to mind is a beef feast!
Sauce beef, braised beef, hot pot little fat beef, beef pancakes, and her favorite West Lake beef soup......
Suck......
As she spoke, Mo Lan's saliva was about to flow out!
Han Che looked at her coveted appearance, couldn't help but reach out and flick her head, and said with a smile: "What are you thinking?" Hungry? ”
"Isn't it? I'll be able to eat a cow right now! ”
"When I catch a takin later, I'll let people divide it first, and I'll give you a taste at night!"
Han Che really understands her mind. With the roll of her eyes, he could guess what was on her mind.
"Hey, hey! Okay, when the time comes, I'll show you a hand, and let's try a steak first! ”
"Steak?"
Although Han Che doesn't understand, he can be sure that this is another kind of food that does not lose teppanyaki!
Because what comes out of Mo Lan's mouth is nothing cheesy!
