Chapter 55 [Barbecue on Fire]
After getting Yun Bingqing's promise, Xie Xiaoyun immediately became very happy, humming an unknown song and picking up the centipedes one by one on the ground.
Found a clearing by the pool, Xie Xiaoyun set up the branches to make a fire, picked up the centipedes one by one, and took out a knife from nowhere, opened the shell, picked out the white jade-like crystal meat strips inside, and then scraped off the internal organs attached to it.
Yun Bingqing sat on the side and quietly watched him do everything in his hands in an orderly manner, and did not mention the toad in the pond again.
It's just that when Xie Xiaoyun proposed to go to the pond to clean the centipede meat, he picked up the oil umbrella and silently followed.
However, what she didn't know was that the giant toad was lying in the pool at this time, trembling slightly, as if there was something extremely terrible that made it quite fearful.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, where did so many centipedes come from?" Yun Bingqing was a little curious.
"Oh, when I was just picking up branches, I saw a pit of centipedes, which seemed to be attacking several poisonous snakes, so I picked up the sticks and took them to the nest." Xie Xiaoyun said casually.
"Don't deceive me for not being literate, how can a centipede take the initiative to attack a poisonous snake?"
Listening to what Xie Xiaoyun said seemed to be quite casual, but thinking of the danger and unreasonableness, Yun Bingqing didn't believe a word.
"So you've ever seen such a big centipede in your life?" Xie Xiaoyun asked rhetorically.
"No ......" Yun Bingqing has also seen centipedes on the top of Cangshan, but the biggest one is less than three points of the centipede in front of him.
"That's not it, this is a giant colored centipede unique to southern Xinjiang, very dangerous, not to mention attacking poisonous snakes, it is also common to attack the nests of tigers and bears in large numbers, I can stun them because I have the characteristics of the sect's insect repellent powder, so I can capture them in one fell swoop."
Stacking all the white centipede meat together, Xie Xiaoyun picked up the snake meat again, disemboweled, took out the bloody snake gall and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.
"Hiss......"
Yun Bingqing gasped when she saw this, but for some reason, she remembered Mo Xiaoli who was eating radish with an expressionless face.
"It's a good thing, but it can't be wasted, do you want to try it? It's sweet to bite in, clear your eyes! ”
Xie Xiaoyun pulled out another snake gall and handed it to Yun Bingqing.
"Ah...... Is it? ”
Yun Bingqing was ready to take it.
"I won't give you ...... food."
Xie Xiaoyun had a ghostly look in his eyes, and hurriedly swallowed the snake gall, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by Yun Bingqing.
“……”
Yun Bingqing was a little speechless, she didn't know whether she had been deceived or tricked.
Xie Xiaoyun smiled, put the two snakes on the edge of the pool and washed them again, and a trace of blood slowly dispersed in the pool water like a cloud until it faded away.
The dormant toad in the pool seemed to feel the breath of poisonous blood, and its turquoise eyes gradually turned red.
"That's it! Would you rather eat roasted or boiled meat? ”
Xie Xiaoyun, who had washed the meat, asked.
"Cook it......" Yun Bingqing replied.
"It's a waste of such good ingredients to cook, so use your sword to help me sharpen this stone into a flat stone slab." Xie Xiaoyun rejected Yun Bingqing's proposal and picked a big stone from the edge of the pool and brought it over.
"You ......"
Yun Bingqing was a little angry.
Although he didn't know what he was going to do, Yun Bingqing still smoothed the stone as he said.
"It's a little thinner, it's about this thick, and it has to be a little curvature in the middle......" Xie Xiaoyun gestured with his index finger and thumb.
"Na......" Yun Bingqing scraped a thin layer in the center of the slate and handed it to Xie Xiaoyun.
"That's it!" Xie Xiaoyun excitedly placed the stone slab on the two stone piles he had erected, added branches and wood underneath, and set them on fire.
Taking out a few vials from his luggage, Xie Xiaoyun uncorked one of the vials and poured some onto the slate, Yun Bingqing found that it was actually a bottle of vegetarian oil!
"You're still carrying this?"
Yun Bingqing opened the remaining vials and smelled them, and it was really some spices and salt.
"A man who cooks well is either a cook or a prodigal son!"
Yun Bingqing remembered his master's words again for some reason, and looked up at the serious and busy man in front of him, although he was a little unkempt, but it was difficult to hide his handsome and fairy-like face.
"Master...... He seems to be neither......"
Thinking of all the things she had done since she met Xie Xiaoyun, Yun Bingqing unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth slightly.
Although the man in front of him made his teeth itch from time to time, he wanted to poke a few holes in him.
But what she does is also very considerate, and being with him is like being with the master in the past, and there is always a feeling that makes her very down-to-earth and at ease.
"What are you stunned about, give me that bottle of salt!" Xie Xiaoyun beckoned to her, the centipede meat on the slate was sizzling, it had been fried until golden brown, and an unusually tempting fragrance filled the air, making Yun Bingqing can't help but move her index finger and speak with gusto.
"It's ready to eat!"
Xie Xiaoyun placed more than a dozen strips of meat sprinkled with spices and salt on the side of the stone slab, and Yun Bingqing couldn't wait to pick up one with his hand and throw it into his mouth.
"Liberal ......"
Yun Bingqing couldn't help but exhale a mouthful of burnt heat.
With a bite, the surface of the meat strips that were fried to a crispy aroma cracked between the teeth, revealing the smooth and tender white meat steaming inside, and a thick fresh fragrance suddenly exploded in the lips and teeth, feeling the elastic touch brought by the fine fleshy fibers, Yun Bingqing was even reluctant to swallow it, but her throat kept urging, urging her to quickly swallow the meat juice that had already been chewed in her mouth into her stomach.
Yun Bingqing swore that she had never eaten such a delicacy in her life, even the most expensive anchovy drunken shrimp in Dali's finest Yunyan Building, I am afraid that it was not as delicious as half of the centipede meat in front of her.
"Do you dare, do me another favor?" Xie Xiaoyun asked cautiously.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Yun Bingqing, who swept away more than a dozen centipede meat in an instant, was in a good mood, and she was staring at the next batch of meat strips that were sizzling.
"Help me cut this snake meat into even pieces......" Xie Xiaoyun's tone was very humble, "Of course, it doesn't matter if you can't do it, I just think you have martial arts, and it's easier to cut." ”
"Give it to me, I'm not afraid of these snakes, insects, rats, ants and the like." Yun Bingqing's eyes were still staring at the meat strips on the stone slab, but she just stretched out her hand and motioned for Xie Xiaoyun to hand over the snake.
Taking over the cold and slippery snake meat, Yun Bingqing stood up, pulled out the umbrella sword casually, cut the snake meat into even small pieces in a dashing manner, and steadily connected the snake meat to the sword body one by one.
"Na!"
handed the snake meat to Xie Xiaoyun, and just after the second batch of centipede meat was sprinkled with spices, Yun Bingqing didn't care whether it was hot or not, so she picked up one and stuffed it into her lips.
"Liberal ......"
Another pleasant hush.
