Elven settlers

Chapter 206 Delicious wild food
After Rock returned to the camp, it happened that Arbor and Geranium also came back.

The surrounding bushes, woods, and caves, where there may be wild elves hiding, have been cleaned up by the Arbo monster, so that Rock can camp and rest with confidence.

This is a little experience he has gained from living in the wild for so long. There are many nocturnal Pokémon that will hide and rest during the day.

At this time, they are very difficult to be found, even Hei Lujia, who has a keen sense of smell, can't do anything about it.

If you don't investigate clearly in advance, you may be inadvertently attacked by enemies who never know where they appear.

"Gamma?"

Geranium brought back a large bundle of dry branches with a rattan whip. When it saw Chenglong who was injured a lot on Helujia's back, he quickly put the firewood aside and became concerned about Chenglong's situation.

"Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with it, it's just a skin injury. Just now, Chenglong performed very well. I saw if there were any sparrows, it was all killed by it."

Rock shook the sparrow in his hand at the geranium.

"Gamma!"

Geranium lifted Chenglong with a vine whip and looked at it. After hearing that it had won the first battle just now, it lifted it high.

At this time, Abo also praised Chenglong.

"Boom~"

Chenglong, who was praised one after another by his companions, buried his head in his fins in embarrassment.

"Haha, let it go, I have to give it some medicine."

Rock took Chenglong from Geranium's vine whip, then took out the wound medicine from the backpack, and gave it a simple treatment of the injury.

He first dipped some iodophor with a cotton swab to disinfect Chenglong's wound, then applied a hemostatic agent to the bleeding area, and finally applied the ointment to the bruised area, and massaged slightly vigorously.

"Boooo..."

Chenglong, who was fearless in the face of the attack of a large group of sparrows just now, now has tears in his beautiful big eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it won't hurt soon."

Rock gently hugged Chenglong and stroked its small head.

But like all the young elves, or all the cubs, the more Rock comforted him, the louder Chenglong cried.

Just when he was at a loss, Geranium took Chenglong over with a vine whip, and then released a sweet-smelling pink mist from the flowers around his neck.

Seeing that Chenglong was gradually comforted by the sweet scent of geraniums, Roque heaved a sigh of relief.

After treating Chenglong's injury, Rock began to prepare for today's dinner.

The main dish for dinner is sparrow. This kind of Pokémon is not very big, and it will shrink easily if it is baked directly.

Standing by the pond, Rock glanced at the surrounding environment, and thought of what the sparrow did in his heart.

He first walked to a few clusters of golden flowers blooming by the pond, and picked some dark green, feathery leaves.

These wildflowers are tansy, which has a relatively strong, fragrant scent.The taste of the leaves is bitter and pungent, and can be used as a seasoning.But you can't eat too much, it will be poisoned if you eat too much.

After picking the tansy leaves, Rock was about to leave when he caught a glimpse of a lush green plant out of the corner of his eye and stopped immediately.

After getting closer, Rock found that the plants had long, semi-cylindrical leaves.Pushing aside the leaves, the color gradually changed to white near the root, and his eyes immediately revealed a light of surprise.

This piece of herb can also be eaten. Rock vaguely remembers that the name should be called wild garlic. It smells a bit like green onions, and it is also a good seasoning.

After the wild garlic is pulled out from the ground, you can see the spherical white bulbs, which look a bit like shrunken garlic, which should be the origin of the name of the wild garlic.

Rock cleaned the wild garlic and tansy leaves he had collected directly by the pond, and then started to deal with the sparrows.

Shed hair, disembowel, remove internal organs, and wash away the blood.

The cleaned sparrows were divided into three large pots by Rock, and marinated with the wild garlic and tansy leaves picked just now.

In order to neutralize the bitter taste of the two plants, he also ordered a little honey into it.

While waiting for the sparrow meat to be marinated, Rock dug some moist yellow-brown clay on the bank of the pond, and picked a large bunch of large lotus leaves.

After the sparrow meat was marinated for about half an hour, Rock looked at it and felt that it was almost done.

He wrapped the marinated sparrow meat with lotus leaves, then tied it tightly with thin cotton thread, then mixed the clay he had just collected with water into yellow mud, and covered the lotus leaves with the mud.

The last thirteen sparrows were all wrapped into mud balls by Rock.

"Woo?" "Hey!"

At this time, the elves saw his operation, and they all got curious and surrounded him.

They have seen cooking many times, but it is the first time they have seen food wrapped into mud balls like this.

"Don't worry, what I made this time is definitely delicious food."

Rock waved away Heluga who was about to open his mouth to try to take a bite of the mud ball, cleared an open space on the ground, and laid a layer of firewood.

Then put the mud ball on it, and then evenly covered a layer of firewood on the mud ball, and finally asked Helu to add a spark to ignite the fire.

The flames blazed up, and the mud ball inside was continuously evaporating in the high temperature, gradually hardening.

While waiting for the sparrow meat to be cooked, Rock set up the camp and simply cooked a pot of lotus seed soup.

After the mud balls were completely dry and hard, the surface was smoked into charcoal black, and some cracks appeared, Rock took all thirteen mud balls out of the fire.

"clang clang"

Rock pulled out the short knife, tapped the mud ball with the back of the knife, and there was a clear and firm sound, which indicated that the mud shell on the surface had been baked very hard.

So he stopped hesitating, controlled his strength, and knocked the mud shell open.

The moment the mud shell cracked, an extremely rich mellow fragrance emanated from the mud ball and got into the noses of Rock and the elves.

"smell good"

"Gudong" "Gudong"...

Smelling the fragrance, Rock and the four elves swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Rock couldn't wait to push aside the layers of mud shells and lotus leaves, and a roasted sparrow with a seductive luster appeared in front of their eyes.

The meat glowed, these were the four words that popped up in Rock's mind the first time he saw the sparrow meat.

The sparrow meat wrapped in lotus leaves, the orange-yellow surface shone with a layer of oily light, and it was still emitting steaming heat.

"huhu"

Rock didn't care about the heat, and after blowing a few breaths, he cut a piece of meat with a knife.

The piece of meat picked up by the blade trembled and was very tender, and it was sent into the mouth by Rock.

"Oh hot! So... delicious!"

In the expectant eyes of the elves, Rock gave a thumbs up while taking a breath.
