Rebirth before the doomsday: I quietly emptied the city of supplies

In the short time that Chen Yu went back to plant bamboo shoots and bring back seasonings to grill bamboo rats, She Er came back again with five or six bamboo rats. "Hiss, hiss, hiss! Look, Master, I found something delicious for you!"

She Er put the bamboo rats in his mouth and on his tail on the ground, and called out to Ling Qing with a hissing sound.

"Wow! Little Sheshe, you caught so many bamboo rats! That's great. I'll reward you with delicious food when you go back!" Ling Qing was so happy when she saw She Er brought so many bamboo rats.

She didn't expect that this new pet would have such great abilities. In fact, Ling Qing didn't know that all the bamboo rats in Zhuyu were raised by She Er himself. However, if she knew that She Er could raise bamboo rats, Ling Qing would probably be more excited. After all, as a pet, being able to hunt is already very good, not to mention raising other creatures? My pet can hunt, can yours?

My pet will raise other creatures to store food for itself, will yours do the same?

While Ling Qing and She Er were happily interacting, Chen Yu also put away the bamboo shoots and returned from the shelter with the seasonings. "What are you guys talking about? You look so happy! Look what I brought!"

Chen Yu took out all the seasonings needed for barbecue from the backpack behind him and waved them in front of Ling Qing and She Er. "Wow! You went back to get the seasonings! Great, now we can have barbecue outside!"

“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”

Ling Qing and She Er both seemed extremely excited.

Ling Qing hadn't eaten barbecue outside for a long time. They had been eating in the shelter for a balanced diet. She Er was even more excited because as a snake, he was used to eating cooked food.

Because a person (snake) was stranded alone on this deserted island, he was forced to eat raw food instead of cooked food.

After so many years, it almost forgot the taste of cooked food, so when it saw the various seasonings in Chen Yu's hand, it almost drooled. Okay, don't just stand there, there is a stream over there, let's go there to barbecue!

After that, Chen Yu grabbed a few bamboo rats, took Ling Qing, She Er and Ban Ban and walked towards the stream. On Chen Yu's way back, Ling Qing dug up a lot of winter bamboo shoots and brought them all to the stream to prepare for barbecue. Speaking of which, she had never eaten barbecued fresh winter bamboo shoots, so she didn't know how it tasted! Soon, the two people and two animals came to the stream.

More than ten bamboo rats were placed on the ground and watched over by Banban.

She Er was no longer idle, wandering around, bringing back bundles of dry firewood wrapped in his tail. Ling Qing was washing the winter bamboo shoots she had just dug up with clean water by the stream. Chen Yu skillfully found a fire starter and built a stove to start a fire.

The sparks from the flint fell on the dry and fluffy sawdust, and gradually ignited into tiny sparks.

He took the dry firewood that She Er had picked up from the side and placed them on the small flame in order from small to large.

Soon, the fire was lit. Chen Yu took out the clay pot he had prepared long ago from his back and boiled a full pot of water.

The man and two beasts surrounded Chen Yu and watched him show off his skills.

Although Ling Qing knows how to barbecue, she is not familiar with the process of handling the ingredients.

After the water boiled, Chen Yu took the bamboo rat that Banban was guarding and went to the stream to quickly slaughter it. He also used a ceramic bowl to collect the blood of the bamboo rat.

The scene of Chen Yu slaughtering the bamboo rat frightened Ling Qing so much that she closed her eyes. It was too bloody and she couldn't bear to watch it.

Soon, Chen Yu finished slaughtering a dozen fat bamboo rats and laid them out in a row on the ground, ready to gut them.

The water in the pottery pot had already boiled, so Chen Yu brought a wooden basin and poured the boiling water from the pottery pot into the basin. Then Chen Yu put the bamboo rats into the basin one by one and scalded them with boiling water. Then Chen Yu took the scalded bamboo rats aside and removed all the fine hairs from the bamboo rats with his hands.

This is the method used when slaughtering pigs in the countryside. Use boiling water to cook the pigs until the skin is cooked, making it easier to pull out the hair.

Chen Yu cleaned a dozen fat bamboo rats clean. Their originally black fur had now become fair and tender.

For the sake of cleanliness and hygiene, Chen Yu put the bamboo rat, which had already been plucked, on the fire and burned it again. The bamboo rat's originally tender skin gradually turned yellow under the licking of the flames, and then turned into a charcoal-like black. Perhaps some people don't understand why they have to roast it again after the hair has been plucked.

In fact, this is just a personal habit. Some people cook bamboo rats by plucking out the hair, then gutting them, cutting them into pieces and putting them into the pot. But Chen Yu is used to plucking out the hair and then grilling them over fire. Then he scraped off the black skin with a saber. As Chen Yu stopped waving his saber, the bamboo rats that were originally burned black turned golden. The bamboo rats in this state look so delicious that people want to eat them. However, it is not possible to eat them now. How can we eat them if they have not been gutted yet?

Chen Yu used a piece of clean wood as a chopping board, put the scraped bamboo rat on the chopping board, and cut open the bamboo rat's abdomen with a military knife. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the organs. This little bamboo rat is the same.

Chen Yu sometimes slaughtered pigs for the Spring Festival in rural areas, and often cleaned the pig's internal organs and cut them into pieces to make bacon. Now his process is no different from slaughtering pigs for the Spring Festival. The only difference is that bamboo rats are too small, so he needs to be more careful when using the knife.

Pull out the intestines and throw them into the stream, but the remaining heart, liver, and internal organs are edible. Chen Yu dissected more than ten bamboo rats at once and harvested a large bowl of internal organs. Together with the bowl of blood collected when the bamboo rats were slaughtered, a pot of delicious bamboo rat soup can be cooked!

At this time, the fire on the side had gradually burned out, leaving only black charcoal emitting the last bit of heat.

When barbecuing, it is best to use the remaining charcoal from burning wood. Using burning firewood directly will produce a pungent smoke smell, which will affect the taste of the food. Chen Yu piled the remaining charcoal together and gently fanned the fire with a piece of banana leaf that he had picked up from not far away.

Soon, the pile of charcoal gradually ignited, releasing the flames in the room. Now it was ready for barbecue. Chen Yu used bamboo sticks to skewer the whole bamboo rat.

The military knife had already made cuts on the bamboo rat to make it easier to sprinkle salt on it and to cook it faster when grilling.

A simple barbecue rack was placed over the fire, and more than a dozen bamboo rats were roasted until both sides were golden brown.

Brushing with oil and seasonings at the same time, the heat from the charcoal underneath roasted the bamboo rat until golden fat oozes out, making people salivate with anticipation.
