At three o'clock in the morning, the old street was very deserted, and there was no shadow to be seen.

When Li Can came to the street, the car was long gone, and there were no injured people on the road.

"Maybe I hit a private car parked on the side of the road."

This kind of thing often happens in places where roads are narrow, and there is nothing unusual about it.

I just don't know which car owner will regret saving hundreds of dollars in parking fees tomorrow.

Back at the restaurant, pull down the roller shutter door.

Li Can set his eyes on the large bag of 'ingredients' in the front hall.

The size of the tentacle monster is three times larger than that of 'Liu Huadong', and the kitchen table can't fit at all.

Untie the rope that trapped the colored striped cloth, and the tentacle monsters inside immediately scattered.

“1、2、3、4、5...”

Li Can counted carefully, except for the two thickest tentacles, the other twenty-two were relatively small.

"It may be that after the tentacle monster died, all the tentacles shrank."

Originally, the two thickest tentacles were about two meters long, thigh-thick, and could extend to more than five meters when attacking, but now, they are only about one meter, the thickness of a normal adult's arm.

The other twenty-two are generally only about fifty or sixty centimeters.

Li Can used a knife to cut off one of the tentacles, the section was as smooth as a mirror, and he could see that there was a very small black bone tissue in the middle of the tentacles.

The right hand squeezes the bone, which is very soft and elastic, similar to a cow's hoof tendon.

"It seems that this bone is the root of controlling the tentacles, and only this characteristic can make the tentacles stretch and contract freely."

Take the tentacles to the kitchen, put them in the sink to clean them, and then use kitchen paper towels to absorb the water.

From the cross-section, the structure of the tentacle has four layers.

Cortex, mucous membranes, flesh, and black cartilage.

The structure is not complicated, at least it is much simpler than 'Liu Huadong'.

Of course, this is only the tentacle, and the trunk part of the tentacle monster is not yet known.

The color of the cortex is the same as that of the bone, which is black.

The lines are fine, there are no wrinkles, they are not rough to the touch, and they are even a little slippery.

Li Can tried to scrape twice with the tip of the knife, and he was able to scrape out a lot of transparent mucus.

These are substances that are hidden in the skin and are very troublesome to clean.

However, Li Can originally planned to give up this layer of skin completely, because in addition to the mucus, there were dense spikes on it, and when he looked at it, he thought it was a leather coat with rivets.

"This thing should be able to be sold at a high price in the garment factory, but unfortunately it has a strange origin, and it is not easy to take it out."

Li Can sighed slightly, used a knife to make a longitudinal cut on the surface of the tentacle, and then removed the cortex along the gap between the cortex and the mucous membrane.

The spikes in the cortex are very sharp, and if they are cleaned up alone, it should have some effect, but there are too many spikes and too dense, and Li Can is too lazy to do this, anyway, there are still many scales in his hands.

"These spikes and scales should all belong to the Xenoarmor, which is the hardest or most special tissue on the body of every monster."

Throwing the cortex aside, Li Can scraped off the mucous membrane on the tentacle again, almost filling a small bowl.

These mucous membranes are slightly thicker than those in Liu Huadong's body, and the whole is pale yellow, and when you pinch it lightly in your hand, there is oil of the corresponding color oozing out, and there are no other impurities.

There is also a faint fragrance on the smell, which does not smell at all.

"Maybe you can collect the mucous membranes and boil them into oil, just like boiling lard, and the effect should be good."

Li Can pondered it carefully and felt that this plan was feasible.

After cutting off the cortex and mucous membranes, the tentacles become smaller, and the overall diameter of the black bone is about 6 centimeters, including the thickness of the chopsticks in the middle, and the further you go, the thinner it gets.

But what made Li Can happy was that the flesh of the tentacles was not black-brown, but translucent gelatinous, without the slightest impurities in it, just like jelly, full of elasticity.

He gently cut a small piece with a knife, rinsed it with water, and put it directly in his mouth to chew.

Whoop, whoa, whoa---

"It's very tough, if you chew hard, there is an obvious springy feeling, the entrance is sweet, very tender, huh.."

Li Can's eyes suddenly widened, and he found that the transparent pieces of meat that couldn't be chewed suddenly began to melt, and the speed was unbelievable.

There is more cold liquid in the mouth, and the sweet taste is everywhere.

Li Can thought for a while, quickly heated the pot, and then threw a slice into the pot, only to see the translucent slices of meat liquefied and vaporized at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was no trace.

"Sure enough, this thing is not resistant to high temperatures, and the higher the temperature, the faster it changes, making it very suitable for sashimi."

As soon as this thought came to him, he shook his head in denial.

Sashimi is indeed a good way to cook, but the biggest drawback is that it will completely expose the ingredients to the guests.

And if you try to hide the ingredients, it will make the sashimi system look nondescript.

What's more, the food eaten by sashimi has the most primitive taste, but Li Can always feels that the taste of these tentacle meat is too bland, and it is inevitable that he will get bored after eating too much, even if he mixes a few more flavored sauces, it is the same.

"Forget it, think again."

Cut the tentacle flesh open, revealing the black cartilage inside, and with a slight twist, the flesh and bone are separated, and there is no difficulty.

The black cartilage is nearly forty centimeters long, and with the ones that have not been processed outside, the volume is not a small number, so it is still used for stew.

The only difference is that the soup made from these bones is pure black without thinking about it, and you need to find a way to enrich the color and whet the appetite of the guests.

Food is a very deep science, it is not only the taste, but also includes the presentation of dishes, color matching, knife use, processing steps, etc., any of which plays a vital role.

With the experience of disassembling tentacles for the first time, the other tentacles seemed to be able to disassemble easily, and in only about twenty minutes, the tentacle monster in the front hall was only half a cracked head and a bare torso.

Except for the two thick thighs, the body and its shriveled body, no wonder the so-called dark core grows on the head, because the body simply can't fit it.

Li Can cut off his head with a knife and threw it on top of a pile of discarded skin, keeping it for later burning.

And just as he was about to continue dismembering his thighs, he suddenly heard something pulling the shutter door,

It's small, but it's there.

Li Can frowned slightly, came to the roller shutter door with a knife, and asked in a cold voice, "Who." ”

No one answered.

Rushing---

The sound of the door pulling was even more urgent, and there was a faint whisper that seemed to be inaudible.

Li Can tightened the handle of the knife, ready to mobilize the white flame at any time, and then slammed the roller shutter door.

Boom---

The night wind was blowing, and there was no one outside the door at all.

At that moment, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a string of red blood on the sidewalk, which connected from the curb to the door of the restaurant.

Looking down,

It was a blood-stained wildcat lying in the doorway.

The wild cat was bleeding from its mouth and nose, and its raised paws shook at Li Can, and then slowly drooped down, its pupils dilated, and it was actually out of breath.

"Could it be that the impact just now hit it? This driver is too much of a thing, so let's help it. ”

Li Can shook his head, picked up the body of the wild cat with both hands, and planned to bury it in the wasteland behind the restaurant.

Since the wildcat found him before he died, it means that he consciously called for help, whether it was because of the light shining through the cracks of the roller shutter door, or the guidance in the dark.

"Ugh."

Li Can hadn't finished sighing, his left hand seemed to feel something, and his eyes widened suddenly.

This cat: Pregnant...

And there's still movement in the stomach!

The string hidden in Li Can's heart that he didn't dare to touch was touched in an instant...

A tear unconsciously flowed from the corner of his eye.
