Although it was a little strange that there was something hidden under Xu Zheng's fur, the attention of Carlo and the others was still focused on the increasingly fragrant barbecue.
Because he was afraid of water loss, Xu Zheng did not use the method of slotting when barbecuing meat in the forest, but used a knife to drill some small holes in the dried meat, stuffed the seasoning into it, and moved the meat away from the fire, so that the taste could slowly penetrate.
At this time, the meat has reached seven ripe, after Xu Zheng's roasting technique, the color has changed from the original dark red and dull appearance to a golden color in red, and the fragrant fragrance begins to float around.
When the meat was close to eight years of maturity, Xu Zheng quickly picked up the meat and quickly sprinkled seasoning on it. In the last period of time after leaving the vast forest, Xu Zheng was wantonly scraping, and his personal space was stuffed with all kinds of things, including a few newly discovered spices.
The first layer is dried mushroom powder, which makes the meat more delicious and has an aftertaste. The second layer is the plant root that tastes like garlic, which can make the taste of the meat more mellow and rich, the taste of barbecue is already strong, and the addition of this thing can make the taste more pungent, and this aggressive seasoning is especially suitable for heavy foods such as barbecue. The third layer is a bark powder called cinnamon, which has a very light flavor but a lingering fragrance. With it, the taste can be made more profound. Originally, Xu Zheng wanted to apply some juice, but the action of taking out a few fruits from under the fur was too weird, so he gave up, skipped this step directly, and began to sprinkle cumin grains on it.
After these four steps, the first four seasonings stick to the dried meat through fat. Xu Zheng brought the meat close to the flame again, and the seasoning was quickly mixed together under the action of the heat, and the dried cumin seeds made a slight cheerful and explosive sound under the action of the flame, exuding a unique aroma. This rich fragrance is mixed with the aroma of mushrooms and cinnamon, coupled with the original aroma of the meat itself, so thick that it seems to be impossible to dissolve, and it goes straight into the nose.
Carlo couldn't help but be moved: "It's so fragrant! It's the first time I've smelled such fragrant barbecue!" Seeing Xu Zheng's movements, Carlo had no doubt that the art of barbecue could rise to the same level as art.
Xu Zheng was still unhurriedly turning the branch in his hand, and Angel stared at the barbecue that seemed to be full of color and flavor, and he couldn't bear it anymore, and asked anxiously, "Okay?"
Although he couldn't understand it, Xu Zheng guessed what they meant from the expressions of several people. Shaking his head, indicating that there was one more step, Xu Zheng took the chili peppers, selected some bright colors and twisted them with his fingers, sprinkled them thickly, and then put them on the fire to roast, and waited until the fragrance of the chili peppers also came out before signaling.
Cut a piece with a knife and handed it to Carlo. Carlo put it in his mouth, his eyes widened after just chewing, and he said in disbelief: "It's delicious, it tastes so good!" couldn't help but take the knife from Xu Zheng's hand and cut a piece hard before putting it in his mouth, he didn't care about the heat, he chewed while inhaling, and his face showed a satisfied and happy expression. This meat is so fragrant that it's hard to believe it's made from a piece of dried meat when you eat it in your mouth. Not only is the taste of the meat rare to be restored, but when chewed in the mouth, several aromas are intertwined to form an extremely delicious mixed taste, chewing with an endless aftertaste, I have never eaten anything more delicious. Carlo couldn't help but praise it again and again, but he didn't know exactly how to describe the taste.
After eating a few pieces in a row, he suddenly found that several juniors were staring at him, and Xu Zheng looked at himself with a smile that seemed to be not smiling. Looking at Xu Zheng's hand again, the piece of barbecue had been removed by himself by dividing nearly half of it by three-to-five, and Carlo suddenly felt embarrassed. It's just that this meat is so delicious, I didn't stop. An old face suddenly turned red, and Carlo squeaked, "Hehe, this...... It's so delicious. For a while, he didn't stop. Hahaha. Taste it too. That's more. Hahaha......" Carlo laughed dryly: "It's hot, a little spicy, be careful." He hurriedly handed the knife in his hand to Ruki.
Ruki cut a piece and put it in her mouth, only chewed a few bites, and said nothing, and immediately became the same as Carlo, and quickly sped up the cutting action in her hand.
When Dapan and Xiaoban and Angels saw each other, where could they take care of a lot? Just now Carlo was an elder, so he naturally had to let it, but Luki didn't have to let it. At that moment, he took out his knife and began to carve up the barbecue meat in Xu Zheng's hand with a hungry dog pounce action. Angel was the best, only tasted one bite, and then directly put his dried meat into Xu Zheng's hand, the mouth that chewed the meat was really busy and couldn't do anything, and only said succinctly: "Do me a favor, thank you!"
Angel opened, and Lucy and Ben also put the jerky in their hands. Carlo slowed down by half a beat, holding half a piece of jerky, watching Sanxiao's movements, and couldn't help but be a little embarrassed. He also wanted Xu Zheng to help roast it...... You can't go and grab it from the juniors, right? But after tasting Xu Zheng's craftsmanship, the jerky that I thought was good just now now feels really tasteless. So he held the dried meat in his hand and froze in the air.
Xu Zheng looked at the half of the dried meat in Carlo's hand and smiled, took it empathetically, skewered it with the one handed over by Angel and others, cut a long branch, and skewered it on it and roasted it together.
This time, because of the large portions, the meat aroma is stronger. The scent fills the sky over the entire camping site. The other escort mercenary groups couldn't help but gather around and watch the movements in Xu Zheng's hands. The people who hadn't eaten yet handed over the pieces of meat in their hands and smiled embarrassedly: "Little brother, can you help?" and those who had already eaten it were very remorseful, what did they do so quickly? Smelling that smell, it was really exciting, but unfortunately there was no room for the belly.
Xu Zheng did not refuse to come, and all those who were handed over would catch them, then cut the branches and wear them, and roast them on the fire. Anyway, there weren't many people in this caravan, there were only a dozen or so people in total.
While I was busy working, I suddenly heard someone laughing: "It's really fragrant." It's the first time I've smelled something so special. Little brother, I'll take care of you. After smelling this smell, I am afraid that this dried meat will not be able to eat without your roasting. ”
Hearing the voice, Xu Zheng looked up and saw that it was the caravan leader Muse Cézanne. Although he couldn't understand what he said, as soon as he saw that he was holding a large piece of dried meat in his hand, Xu Zheng understood. Suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry. On the first day of his life in the other world, he changed his body and became a chef.
Xu Zheng smiled, didn't speak, and took it. One piece is roasted, and any more is roasted. He also enjoys seeing the satisfied expressions on the faces of others as they eat what he has made. So quickly, the pieces of meat in Xu Zheng's hand increased from only three and a half pieces to nearly twenty pieces.
With the current scale of barbecue, it is very good to grill. One piece is not much, nearly twenty pieces are processed at the same time, it is simply thick smoke, the strange fragrance is overflowing, and you can smell the strange fragrance of the old nose from afar. The attention of the entire camp attracted Xu Zheng's side, and they all watched Xu Zheng barbecue, sniffed the fragrant aroma, talked in a whisper, and admired Xu Zheng's skills.
Suddenly, there was a loud whine in the night sky, and the sound of wings flapping sounded in the distance, and soon from far and near, something flew straight towards this side at a rapid speed.
Carlo stood up vigilantly, took the hammer in his hand, and shouted, "Attention, alert!"
The people became nervous all of a sudden, and the people around Xu Zheng dispersed in an uproar, each with a weapon in his hand, and guarded carefully to protect Muse Cézanne in the center.
Xu Zheng lifted up from the barbecue pile and looked up at the sky.
The night sky was clear, and the two bright moons were clearly visible, and the moonlight sprinkled down from the sky, lining the flying unidentified object into a fast-moving silhouette, and it was impossible to see what it was. Xu Zheng squinted and kept looking at it. I don't know why, everyone's nervous emotions can't infect him. Not only that, but on the contrary, he had a sense of familiarity with the thing that was flying in.
Soon, the thing flew closer.
Carlo recognized what it was, and couldn't help but be shocked, and shouted urgently: "All attention, squat." It's a monster!"
Muse Cézanne was also staring at the air, and when he saw this, his face did not show the panic that a businessman should have. He waved his hand and shouted, "Archer!"
The large class and the small class responded. In this small team, the two of them were the only archers. When the two of them hurriedly stretched out their bows and set up their arrows, this demonic beast had already flown in front of them in a blink of an eye, and it was so fast that it crossed the best range with a snap of its fingers. Taipan and Xiaoban calmed down for a moment, and the two of them fell to the ground in unison, climbed behind the carriage, and used the carriage as a cover to find an opportunity to shoot again.
