Chapter 39: The Smell of Meat
"Don't worry, we understand." Liu Chang nodded and left here.
"Do you know where the kitchen assigned to us by the company commander is?" After going out, Liu Chang picked up the limping little girl.
"Yes."
"That's good."
"How's your wound going?" Li Qingshui asked.
"It's okay, the bite of the little wolf dog is not strong, the flesh is injured and the muscles and bones are not moved, the pain is a little painful, but it does not affect the action." Liu Chang looked down at the scars on his legs and said, "And I feel that my wounds are healing faster than before, and I should be fine tomorrow." ”
"That's good, you can't leave a day behind in this matter of hunting." Li Qingshui looked at the crossbow arrow in Liu Chang's hand and said, "Although you have a guy now, you can replenish your strength after eating this meat." But after all, people need three meals a day, and food can't be preserved, so it is necessary to have a sense of crisis. What's more, the luck component of hunting will always account for 50% of the success rate, so you can't be careless. ”
"I know." Liu Chang nodded and looked at the red sky outside the window: "In this world, I have never been careless. ”
"Hmm."
chatting all the way, Li Qingshui took Liu Chang and others to a kitchen, standing at the door of the kitchen, Liu Chang found that this kitchen was very small, not the kind of kitchen that makes big pot rice for the troops, it was full of small pots and small stoves, which should be a place for leaders and leaders to cook alone.
"That's it, fat man, you go and call Zhu Lin over, and we'll have a meal together."
"Okay!" After receiving Li Qingshui's instructions, the fat man ran over as soon as he slipped away, and his speed was brisk, not at all like a person who had been hungry for several days in the last days.
"Hehe, when it comes to eating, it's all about the spirit." Liu Chang smiled and said, "Let's go, Mr. Li, let's go in and start cooking." ”
"Hmm." Li Qingshui nodded, pulled his short-sleeved shirt that had been torn by him above his shoulders, and then walked in with the meat.
What followed was a period of rich cooking work - Liu Chang rarely cooks at home, and children with parents are always lazy. But although he had never eaten pork, he had seen pigs run, so he roughly knew how to do it, so he put the crossbow arrow aside first, and Li Qingshui put the meat on the board, so that he could slice it and cook it.
"Haha, I'll tell you, I can bring you meat to eat today!" Let the little girl stand beside him, Liu Chang picked up a piece of meat and shook it in his hand as if showing off, and said, "Look, sure enough, there are some to eat!" ”
"Hmm." The little girl looked at the meat, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and nodded heavily.
While they were talking, the fat man also called Zhu Lin over, and the two then joined the cooking process.
In the process of processing food, in the face of almost the food that was exchanged for life, Liu Chang also cherished it very much, and every time he went down, he thought about it again and again, for fear of destroying this blood-drenched beautiful thing.
For these bones and meat, Li Qingshui also strongly requires stew in line with the principle of "nutrition does not leak out" - according to him, the stew is clear, the soup can also be drunk to replenish the body's energy, and this cooking method itself is not easy to lose food nutrients, and it is more suitable for survival than other cooking methods.
Of course, this irrefutable statement of his was also recognized by others, so a moment later, a large pot of dog broth was placed in front of the five people.
The cooked meat was full of aroma, and the five people were intoxicated by the smell, gathered in front of the pot, and couldn't even bear to swallow it.
"I finally know why ancient people prayed and thanked before eating!" Liu Chang picked up a pair of chopsticks and clasped his hands together: "I feel like I have been blessed when I eat now!" ”
"Haha, then thank God for the favor of heaven for giving us food!" As he spoke, the fat man took out a spoon, and he drank a spoonful of hot broth into his stomach without blowing two sips, and then let out a long "ha-" sound, and sighed: "Thank God, this is life!" ”
"Well, it's 10,000 times better than the-flavored soup I ate last night." Liu Chang also scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, the fragrant taste stretched from his taste buds to his brain, and under a mouthful of soup, the pores all over his body opened.
Therefore, he couldn't help but follow the fat man and say "Thank you".
"Don't mention that dish, Zhu Lin and I couldn't help but be hungry this morning, so we ate some of the stinky vegetables that you didn't cook yesterday, it's really unpalatable." The fat man said, and another large mouthful of meat was stuffed into his mouth.
"Cut, you said before that you couldn't eat anything, or what Mr. Li said was right, people are hungry and can eat anything!" Noticing that the little girl next to her had not moved her chopsticks, Liu Chang also sandwiched a piece of meat for her, and said with a smile: "Eat, eat, eat quickly, this meat is half of your credit!" Don't be restrained, today a person even has three catties of bones and meat, let go and eat! ”
"If you don't have enough to eat, I'll call you again tomorrow!"
"Hmm." The little girl glanced at Liu Chang, let go of her scruples, and ate and drank like a stray kitten.
Everyone was immersed in this moment of happiness...... It was a paradise in despair, and everyone was enjoying the moment of bliss, and the room fell into a moment of silence - only the most primitive sound of humans swallowing food.
Until the end of the meal......
"After eating later, you can practice how to use that crossbow." It was Li Qingshui who took the lead in destroying the peaceful atmosphere, and after he put down the empty dishes and chopsticks in his hand, he explained to Liu Chang: "You can be proficient by practicing more, I don't know about archery methods, you just need to explore it yourself, this is a journeyman." Also, the crossbow is too new and a little reflective, so it will be smeared with a little dust for a while, so that it is easy to hide. ”
"Got it." Liu Chang nodded and stuffed the last piece of meat in his bowl into his mouth.
The blissful time of a meal passed in a hurry.
A large pot of broth, even the soup with meat and bones, as long as it could be chewed, all went into the stomachs of the five people, and after eating and drinking, several people left the kitchen with only seasonings and no food - the other four returned to the dormitory, while Liu Chang came alone to a no-man's corner of the army compound and studied the use of bows and crossbows.
Standing in the dense misty grass, Liu Chang looked at the eating guy in his hand, and first studied its structure - like most cold weapons, the structure of this crossbow is very simple, and the structure of most bows and crossbows he has seen on TV is no different, the arc-shaped bow body is tied with a metal wire at both ends, and behind the bow is a long support handle, and there is a horizontal groove under the front end of the crossbow body, and seventeen crossbow arrows of all sizes are inserted in the groove, and the direction of the crossbow arrow arrow is in a cross shape with the human body, This structure is convenient for people to take arrows during shooting, and it also has the effect of preventing people from hurting themselves when the arrows are moving at high speed.
There is a small handle next to the crossbow body, Liu Chang tried to pull the crossbow string, and found that the strength is very strong, and it is extremely difficult for people who have not exercised to even string it.
However, this is not a difficult task for Liu Chang, he pulled the crossbow string hard, took out a long crossbow arrow in the arrow slot, Liu Chang picked up the long crossbow, aimed at a big tree a few meters away and pulled the trigger.
