rebirth squirrel battle

Chapter 73 Roasted Rat

After lunch, he let the excited little guy out of the tree hole, and Lu Feng returned to the battlefield with his godson on his back.

In the morning, I just cleaned the battlefield, and used the snow to freeze the beheaded Rattus norvegicus. In the afternoon, Lu Feng will officially cook these Rattus norvegicus into food that can be eaten.

In the minds of human beings, rats have always been synonymous with cunning, dirty and greedy, so all the words and idioms with the word "rat", such as thief eyebrows, mouse eyes, nameless rat generation, short-sightedness, rat belly and chicken intestines, etc., all contain Belittling, despising, insulting meaning.

But in the Dongguang area of ​​Huaguo, rats are a delicacy, and there is even a saying: In August, rats compete with fat pigs.Even women who are in confinement and the elderly who are old and weak use rat meat to nourish.

"Shushashasha~"

Leaving little [Lu Lu] to stay on the canopy aside, Lu Feng started digging a hole, preparing to dig out the rat corpse under the snow.After several rounds of turning, the icy snow has already frozen a little bit, and when dug up, there is a texture of sandy soil in the cold, and the sound it makes is a bit gritty.

"squeak!"

one!
Two!

three!

Four!

The number of Rattus norvegicus hanging under Lu Feng's small dagger was no less than [-], but this time Lu Feng only selected four of them that were pierced to death, the bodies were relatively complete, and were easy to carry, and then covered the snow again to keep the interior brown. The frozen state of house mice.

"squeak!"

son!

Go to the hot springs!
Compared with the house mice in the city and the countryside, the Rattus norvegicus that Lu Feng killed in this campaign were all native voles, which belonged to a kind of wild beast.

They mainly eat various wild root plants and wild fruits on the mountain, and also catch insects and birds. They have the characteristics of lean meat, less fat, high protein, and high nutritional value. wins three chickens】say.

"squeak!"

So comfortable~!

Thawing the rat carcass in the water channel of the soup pond slightly, Lu Feng soaked it in one of the soup ponds, wiped it on the snow in the morning, but did not completely remove the blood on the fur. fishy smell.

"Squeak~"

The little [Lu Lu] squatted next to Lu Feng, feeling the comfort brought by the warm spring water, stretched his limbs involuntarily, stretched them into a [米] shape, and then - it floated up!

The hot spring water contains a certain amount of minerals, and its specific gravity is slightly higher than that of ordinary ground water. At the same time, the little squirrel has fluffy hair and a small and light body. The surface tension of the spring water itself and the air carried in the hair are enough to support the whole body.

"squeak!"

Somewhat terrified, Xiao Lulu thumped his limbs on the water and wanted to climb back to the pool, but after struggling for a while, he found that he would not sink at all, and Lu Feng was beside him, so he stopped struggling and let the warm spring water Take yourself to whirl and float in the soup pool, enjoying the warmth under your body.

"Whoa!"

Do the work first, then rest later!
After cleaning the hair on his body, Lu Feng crawled out of the soup pool later, fished out the four rat corpses from the waterway, and at the same time pulled out the small dagger from the wire scabbard placed beside the soup pool.

The mouse carcass has not been completely thawed, and is in a state of soft on the outside and hard on the inside, which is the best state for skinning.

Turn the abdomen of the rat corpse upwards, cut open the abdomen along the wound passing through the heart, and at the same time cut open from the abdomen to the inside of the limbs. Lu Feng stepped on the corpse with his hind legs, squatted and began to peel the skin little by little.

A gap was naturally formed between the soft fur and the hard muscle due to the thawing, allowing Lu Feng's dagger to do a job with ease. He peeled off the mouse's skin cleanly, chopped off the mouse's head and the tips of its limbs, and Lu Feng cut open the abdominal muscles layer, the internal organs that were still in a hard state were taken out and piled aside, and finally the rat body with only muscles left was cleaned in the water channel.

Leaping briskly up the banana tree, tearing off a sufficiently wide and clean leaf, Lu Feng placed four rats on it, and then carried the canned [Huanglong] with salt from under the banana tree to the hot spring a few days ago and took it out. , while drawing a deep knife mark with a dagger, while rubbing salt into the knife mark.

"squeak!"

Next it's time to prepare the bonfire!
Allowing the salt and rat meat to fully fuse over time, Lu Feng ran towards the mountains outside the hot springs. Because of the temperature of the spring water near the hot springs, the mountains and forests in the entire area are evergreen all year round, and there are not many dead branches and leaves, which is not enough to gather Lu Feng Quantity demanded today.

…………

A pile of firewood is slowly moving towards the hot spring among the mountains and forests. A black shadow flies down from the treetop and lands lightly beside the firewood. Its nimble front paws lift off a few dead leaves on the pile of firewood, revealing Lu Feng's squirrel face below. .

"Squeak~!"

The little black-haired monkey [黑月] came. Compared to the first time I saw it, it was a whole circle bigger. Its bones began to harden, and it no longer staggered. It finally won the approval of the monkeys and could swim in the forest near the hot spring. went it alone.

And after a long time of contact with Lu Feng, the black-haired little monkey left an impression in his mind: that is to follow Lu Feng, and there will be something to eat!
"Quack~!"

Scratching its head and scratching its cheeks, it looked at the firewood on Lu Feng's body. The little monkey flew away, and when it came back again, it also dragged a big branch in its paws.

It's just that compared with the firewood on Lu Feng's body, it looks greener and more luxuriant, and the leaves on the branches still have a faint fragrance.

"squeak!"

Lu Feng, who couldn't laugh or cry, uttered a soft cry, commanding [Black Moon] to put the branch aside, then took out the lighter and lit the bonfire that had been piled up.

Immediately, the flames burned along the specially placed dead leaves, and the tongues of fire began to lick the four rats that had been pierced with slender wooden spears. Passed to the whole rat body.

Soon, the rat meat was roasted by the bonfire until its skin was golden, and it continued to rotate in Lufeng. Although there were no various seasonings, it was still grilled until it was dripping with oil, and its appearance was attractive.

Moreover, Lu Feng discovered that the branch brought by the little monkey was a branch of citrus fruit. The leaves of this kind of tree contain essential oils, and putting them in the campfire just adds some special fragrance to the roasted whole mouse.

"squeak!"

Here!Take it and eat it!

Seeing that the roasting was almost done, Lu Feng took off a bunch of roasted whole rats and handed them into the claws of the little black-haired monkey. Seeing it excitedly took a bite and ran towards the group of monkeys, Lu Feng hesitated for a moment. , choose the hind leg with the thickest meat, and take the first bite slowly.

"squeak!"

The skin is crispy, the meat is soft and tender, and the aroma is not bad!
It seems that the people of Dongguang did not lie!

Although Lu Feng has never eaten rat meat, once he overcomes his inner barrier, the taste of rat meat is actually more delicious than ordinary poultry and livestock.

Tearing off the other hind leg and handing it to little [Lu Lu], Lu Feng feasted on it, fully satisfying the body's demand for animal protein in the past few days.

As for the other two skewers of roasted whole rats, Lu Feng planned to roast them drier, and then bring them back to the villa in the tree and store them for emergencies.
