Chapter 168: Hot Pot
Looking at Charles running away, Luna, who was squatting next to the pyre, couldn't help but purse her lips, dropped the small branch in her hand, looked around, aimed at a small sapling about the thickness of her ankle and walked over, then pulled out the knife pinned to her waist and slashed with a swing.
After cutting down the tree and cutting off the branches that were in the way, Luna walked back to the pyre and swept it aside.
"What are you ......" Anthony leaned over with some confusion as Luna destroyed the stacked pyre.
"Since Barry wants to find us, then he has to find it, and if you and your eldest brother know how to erase the traces. But once the fire is lit, there will be smoke wherever there is dry firewood in this season. I want to have a solid meal. ”
Luna said as she used her knife to sort out the bevel of the small tree that she had cut off, and after scraping off the part that might hurt her hand, she began to dig holes in the ground, and after a while, she dug out two square pits that were slightly smaller than the pot and side by side, and then threw away the small trunk in her hand, and with one hand, she turned her claws and dug through the bottom of the two pits.
"Don't be stunned, help me carry the pot. Luna pushes Anthony as she puts firewood at the bottom of the pit.
"Oh. Looking at the two square pits, Anthony scratched his head blankly, stood up, and brought the pot over.
Grabbing the leaves on the ground, Luna frowned, still thinking that the leaves were too damp, so she simply got up, tore a piece of fabric from the hem of her skirt, and then tore it with her claws, throwing some into the pit, leaving a little on the edge of the pit, and the rest of the rags were stuffed into her backpack by her group.
By the way, Luna also took out the fire sickle from her bag, just looking at the thing that was ignited by a small spark, she hesitated for a moment, but still handed the fire sickle to Anthony, who was carrying the pot and standing stupidly on the side, pointed to the rag by the pit and said:
"Light the fire, light it here. ”
Anthony hurriedly put down the pot full of water, answered the call, picked up the fire sickle and "clicked" twice, and lit the rags on the edge of the pit.
Seeing that the rags had ignited a small flame, Luna hurriedly carefully used a tree branch to pluck the rags into the pit, and watched the firewood in the pit ignite, although there was still a small amount of smoke, but the little smoke was not able to rise into the air at all, Luna laughed.
"How did you do that?!" Anthony's mouth opened slightly, looking at the flames, but there was really little smoke in the square pits, and he instinctively realized the advantages of these two pits in the wild.
Luna just glanced at Anthony and said, "Put the pot on and try it." ”
Anthony was somewhat disappointed that he didn't get the answer he wanted.
Looking at Anthony, who was silent and staring at the two pits on the ground, trying to add firewood from the pit that had been opened, the corners of Luna's mouth twitched slightly.
It's not that she doesn't want to say it, it's that she doesn't know how to explain it!
These two pits have scientific names, but she doesn't remember them anymore, she only remembers that these things were used by foreign soldiers to make food in the forest during the war, how to explain this!
When Charles returned, he saw two little ones crouching on the edge of the pit, watching the boiling water in the pot bubbling, but not saying a word.
"This is ......" Looking at the two pits on the ground, Anthony was also stunned for a moment.
"There will be no smoke whirring. Luna explained briefly.
"Then what's wrong with Anthony?" asked Charles, who didn't know why, staring thoughtfully at the two pits on the ground, and pointing to Anthony, who was slightly depressed.
"He asked me how I managed not to smoke, but I couldn't explain it!" said Luna.
Anthony, who only knew the truth until now, looked up at Luna and pouted, as if to say, if you can't explain it, just say it!
Luna wrinkled her nose at Anthony.
Hmph! Don't talk about it! Who isn't a fragile baby?
"Heh, eat. Charles, who was amused by the two little ones and ignored the origin of the two pits, walked to the two-headed sheep on the side, took his own knife, brushed it a few times, and cut off a leg of mutton.
It's just that......
"It's really smokeless to light a fire like this, but how can you barbecue meat?" Charles carried the leg of mutton with some difficulty.
"Slice it! Cut it directly into the pot, the thinner the better. Luna smiled as she held the two peeled twigs she had set aside in her hands, picked up the spices in a small silver bowl, and stared excitedly at the pot of boiling water.
In fact, she thinks it's best to serve sesame sauce for hot pot, but the problem is that the conditions are difficult!
Charles looked at what his sister had prepared, and in confusion peeled a piece of meat into the pot, seeing that the meat fell into the pot and was quickly scalded by the boiling hot water, Luna quickly took a shot, picked up the tender mutton, dipped it in a small bowl, and stuffed it into her mouth without worrying about it being hot.
"Delicious!" Luna inhaled as she quickly chewed on the tender mutton, Luna's eyes lit up, although the pot was only filled with white water, and the dipping sauce was simple salt and some spices, but it must be said that this pure natural mutton was enough to make up for all the shortcomings.
Charles and Anthony glanced at each other helplessly, obviously according to the hunting process just now, Charles should eat first and get the most food, but at this time, seeing Luna's little face that was extremely satisfied after eating a piece of mutton, no one was willing to stop her.
"I'd better come!" Anthony hesitated, and since he had barely contributed to the hunt just now, he took the initiative to extend his hand to Charles.
Charles was not polite, and simply handed the leg of mutton and the knife in his hand to Anthony, then looked at the small branch in Luna's hand, and made a pair of them himself, before taking the small silver bowl with dipping sauce that had been prepared long ago from Luna's side, and tried to get the meat.
But Charles, who had never used chopsticks, was Luna's opponent at first, and at first he could only watch Luna stuff slice after piece of meat into his mouth.
It wasn't until one leg of lamb was missing and Luna was full that Charles understood his chopsticks.
Full-fed, Luna took over Anthony's job of cutting meat, and seeing that Anthony couldn't grab the meat, she secretly glanced at her eldest brother in hindsight.
Sensing his sister's gaze on him, Charles didn't raise his head, only snorted, and continued the big business of grabbing meat.
This meal lasted for a long time, and when the three of them ate with a crooked stomach, the sun above their heads was biased.
"Hmm, did Big Brother find Barry?" asked Luna, leaning against the tree, lazily asking.
"Found it, they did intend to follow us, but they were afraid of being discovered, so they have been looking for traces, falling far away, if it weren't for the fact that there is only such a stream with water, I'm afraid we won't be able to find them. ”
Charles's eyes narrowed slightly, and his dissatisfaction with himself in his tone was not concealed at all.
