Gourmet Beast Tamer

Chapter 283 Picnic

"Wow--"

A scream broke the silence of the jungle, startling a group of birds nesting in the canopy to rest.

In the woods, Shen Qian hid behind Qin Lang, looking with horror at the long snake wrapped around a tree trunk, spitting out letters and looking at it with cold eyes.

"Don't panic, don't panic." Qin Lang patted Shen Qian's shoulder.

"Aren't you afraid? This is a snake?"

"I was quite scared before." Qin Lang said cheerfully, "But have you forgotten that you are the Yuling Chef?"

"Dan Bao, the fluctuation of thoughts!"

"Gulu!"

Dan Bao responded, and the milky white halo escaped from his body, blended into the surroundings, and turned into an invisible force that quickly spread towards the long snake on the tree trunk.

The long snake froze slightly, and its instinct made it realize that something dangerous was about to happen.

However, before it could make any move, the invisible force had completely wrapped it up and pulled it into the air, making it suspended in the air and unable to even twist its body.

The smooth scales that the long snake is proud of are of no use in this situation, and its needle-like pupils can't help but reveal human despair.

"This snake is not poisonous." After looking at it carefully for a while, Qin Lang quickly made a judgment, "It should be edible."

"You're talking about you..." Shen Qian took a breath, "You actually eat snakes?!"

"Snake meat is very delicious. It is similar to fish meat, but the taste is different." Qin Lang said sincerely, "I have never eaten such a fat snake!"

Many snakes in previous lives were protected animals and could not be eaten.

It seems that no food in this world will be eaten to the point of extinction, so there are no restrictions in this regard at all.

"Really... really edible?" Shen Qian was dubious.

"I'll cook, don't worry." Qin Lang gave Shen Qian a determined look, and then quickly found the seven-inch position of the long snake, "La La, bite here!"

"Chaka!"

LaLa flashed her little tiger fangs and took a bite of the long snake's seven inches.

The power of the two-star food spirit was enough to kill such an ordinary creature with one strike. The struggling body of the long snake stiffened suddenly, and soon the look in its eyes completely lost.

"Such a primeval forest with so many species is really a good place." Qin Lang put the snake into a cloth bag and put it in the bag, with a look of joy on his face. "These ingredients are all wild, so they must be good."

"Actually, the nest of tits just now can be roasted and eaten." At this point, Qin Lang felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that I was scared away by your scream."

"What! The tits are so cute, why do you want to eat them?" Shen Qian puffed up her cheeks and couldn't help but plead for the tits.

"I'll let Danbao catch a few of them later. Do you want cumin or salt and pepper?"

"Hmm..." Shen Qian licked her lips, "How about something spicy?"

"also."

While the two were chatting and laughing, they walked deep into the jungle with their travel bags on their backs.

No matter how powerful the beast is, it will not be an opponent of the food spirit with extraordinary power. Moreover, as a tourist attraction, there are no dangerous creatures in Ranchiu Forest. Non-venomous snakes are the limit.

Time passed little by little, and soon it was noon.

The travel bag that originally didn't contain much was now bulging with various ingredients caught in the forest.

Qin Lang and Shen Qian chose an open space with higher ground and shade, and paused their travels.

"Okay, this is it."

Qin Lang returned after walking around with a smile on his face, "There is a stream nearby, which is quite convenient for cleaning ingredients."

“I just got so many ingredients, it’s time for a picnic!”

He said as he took out the ingredients from the bag.

A snake over one meter long, two large tits, a few eggs taken out of the tits' nests and a few fish caught while passing by the creek.

In addition, there are also some picked mountain fruits, mushrooms and several spices that can be used directly after harvesting.

These things are enough for two people and four food spirits to have a full meal.

"It would be great if I could have a portable space and bring a full set of kitchen utensils."

Qin Lang couldn't help but fantasize while he and Dan Bao built branches into a temporary grill.

Lala's figure appeared from time to time, dropped the dry firewood he found, and then disappeared again.

"Yes." Shen Qian, who was responsible for handling the ingredients, said without looking back, "Food skills and kitchen utensil storage can do it."

"But the awakening of food skills is full of randomness, and combat skills can still be directionally awakened using skill stones to assist." Qin Lang shook his head helplessly.

Among the food skills, two have the effect of carrying space.

One is food technology and kitchenware storage, and the other is food technology and food ingredient storage.

Food spirits who master these two cooking skills can open up a portable space to store things recognized as kitchen utensils and ingredients.

Although it is still impossible to put everything in, it is already a lot more convenient for Yu Lingchu.

In particular, food storage can help store food and also has a strong preservation effect. It is a magical skill that all Yuling chefs want.

But again, the food skills are determined at the beginning of the birth of the food spirit, so it cannot be interfered by external forces and is completely random.

It’s a waste of time to even think about it.

While the two were chatting, they quickly started a fire smoothly.

"Let me handle the snake." Looking at Shen Qian who had neatly handled the other ingredients, Qin Lang took the untouched snake on the ground with a smile.

"Leave it to you." Even though the snake was dead, Shen Qian still felt like goosebumps were rising when he touched the smooth scales.

It would be better to leave such a task to the brave and talented Qin Lang.

But it’s still possible to observe and learn.

Seeing Qin Lang carrying the snake towards the stream, Shen Qian quickly followed.

Bleeding, disemboweling and removing the internal organs, peeling off the skin and leaving the snake meat, washing away the congestion in a clear stream, cutting it into sections and throwing them into the pot, the snake meat is simply processed.

"Can't snake skin be eaten?" Shen Qian became curious as she looked at the snake skin discarded by Qin Lang on the ground.

"If it is a farmed snake, the snake skin can be eaten if the quality is good." Qin Lang spread his hands, "Wild snakes may have many parasites under the skin."

"That's it." Shen Qian understood after hearing Qin Lang's words. She looked at Qin Lang who added green onions and ginger to the pot, "How do we eat?"

"The conditions are limited, so let's make snake soup." Qin Lang smiled mysteriously, "The snake soup is very delicious. I just tasted the water from this stream and it is quite sweet. It is very suitable for making snake soup."

As he spoke, he walked upstream, scooped a few ladles of forest stream water into the pot, and placed it on a grill supported by branches.

Soon, small bubbles appeared in the pot.

Closing the lid of the pot, Qin Lang took the prepared fish and tits from Shen Qian's hands, and evenly spread the egg liquid and seasonings made from the tit eggs for marinating.

"I prepared some snacks in advance, what do you want?" Shen Qian took out a lunch box from her bag and gave the food to Qin Lang.

"good!"
