In the desert weather, the difference between hot and cold day and night is very obvious.
However, the starry sky in the desert at night is also extremely beautiful.
The people of the Chishui tribe, who had traveled a day's journey under the wind and sand and the scorching sun, found a place with leeward wind, set up camp, rested on the spot, and lit up piles of warm fires.
Lingchu and Sha Heng offered sacrifices, Ge Luo and A Luo gathered around a fire.
The rest of the Chishui tribe members gathered at other fires in twos and threes.
The fire was burning with dark brown matches, making crackling sounds. The tongues of fire kept jumping upwards, trying to kiss the small stove hanging above them. In the small stove, there was a gurgling snow-white soup. Bubble, the smoke is mixed with a faint white mist, exuding a strong fragrance.
"This is the fish soup made from the star fish that is unique to our Northern Wilderness. It tastes particularly delicious. One sip will make your whole body warm. When it is ready, sprinkle with a handful of chopped emerald grass. It is delicious and tastes great. I can add a little more sweetness!" Aluo is the chef of this fire. The cowhide bag on his waist is like a universal treasure box. He constantly takes out various seasonings from it and adds it to the boiling snow-white In fish soup.
While seasoning, I did not forget to introduce the origin of this soup to Lingchu.
The desert is barren and there is not much meat that can be raised. Only in the oases can some edible animals live. And this star fish is a kind of fish that lives in the lakes of the desert oasis. It is only one finger long. During the day, under the sunlight, Under the fish, it seems to be translucent, almost integrated with the lake water, and is extremely difficult to catch. Only at night, this fish will emit fine, flashing lights at night and swim in the dark lake under the night sky. Inside, like stars on the night sky.
This is where the name of the star fish comes from.
However, the most famous thing about star fish is not its peculiar habits, but that although it is not big and small, after being caught, whether it is stewed fresh or dried and stewed, the stewed soup is... It is extremely white, and even without seasoning, the soup tastes very delicious.
In the desert, where it is extremely cold at night, the taste of a bowl of thick, hot, and delicious fish soup is really beautiful.
In addition, the emerald green grass that grows in clumps by the lake is cut into small pieces and sprinkled on the snow-white fish soup. The emerald grass with a unique fragrance blends with the deliciousness of the fish soup and takes a sip. , delicious and sweet.
A Luo introduced the star fish soup to Lingchu while stirring the snow-white fish soup. He picked up the star fish whose flesh had melted in the soup, leaving only the fish bones, and smelled the strong aroma of the fish soup. , sprinkled with a handful of green emerald grass, looked at the white fish soup with green in it, and nodded with satisfaction.
He picked up a wooden bowl and scooped out a big spoonful. The snow-white fish soup slid through the air, with dots of emerald green looming, and a faint heat rising. After a while, the first bowl of star fish soup was ready.
Priest Sha Heng knew that his granddaughter had good cooking skills, especially making good soups. She was even better at star fish soup. Seeing her fill the first bowl, she stretched out her hand leisurely. It was such a cold day. , it is really good to have a bowl of hot soup.
The next moment, Priest Sha Heng paused slightly with his outstretched hand, turned a corner in the air, and suddenly turned into clapping his sleeves, as if to pat away the sand stained on his sleeves.
"Sister Ah Chu, here you go, try the star fish soup I made. It's cold. Warm yourself up quickly. You are weak, so you can't stay cold." A Luo had a bright smile on his face and held the cup in his hands. He took the wooden bowl and handed it to Lingchu who was sitting on the other side, his tone cheerful but worried.
Lingchu met the little girl's sparkling eyes. There was unmistakable concern in her eyes. Her heart warmed slightly. She took the wooden bowl with a smile, and a warmth suddenly felt in her hands.
"Arlo, thank you."
After saying that, Lingchu took a sip under A Luo's expectant eyes, and the hot snow-white fish soup entered his stomach. Immediately, a warmth spread from his stomach to his limbs, and his hands and feet became warm.
Between the lips and teeth, there is a delicious taste, mellow and smooth, and there is also a faint sweet fragrance. Although it dilutes the deliciousness, it is wonderfully integrated into one place, making it even more delicious and leaving a sweet aftertaste.
It tastes really good.
Looking into A Luo's eyes, Lingchu smiled and nodded, expressing his affirmation. Then he took a big sip and showed with his actions that he really liked drinking.
Aluo, who understood, immediately smiled happily, humming a tune in the Northern Wilderness language that Lingchu couldn't understand, and then slowly served fish to his mother-in-law and Brother Gro next to him. Soup.
Mr. Mu, who had been ignored, and Brother Gro, the two of them looked at each other. Unexpectedly, Aluo turned out to be such a beautiful girl!
If the spoon hadn't been held by Arlo, both of them would have wanted to serve the soup themselves. The smell of the star fish soup would have made the gluttons in their stomachs whine.
When Arlo finally remembered to serve soup for them, they were almost moved.
Especially during the Sha Heng sacrifice, I was not only moved, but also deeply disappointed. It turns out that this is the complicated thought that only those families with daughters and granddaughters have? Did he feel it in advance? That’s not right, this object is wrong, wrong.
Sha Heng, the priest, was in a very complicated mood. He took the fish soup for the second time and was thinking randomly while drinking it.
Naturally, Lingchu didn't know what Priest Sha Heng was thinking, but this did not prevent Lingchu from noticing that Priest Sha Heng, who was sitting opposite him, was always looking at him with strange eyes.
However, Lingchu didn't care.
After all, they currently have a cooperative relationship.
After finishing the hot and delicious fish soup with satisfaction, Lingchu smiled and refused the enthusiastic Chishui Club boys and A Luo who wanted to help him wash the dishes.
He slowly washed the wooden bowl and handed it to Aluo.
Then, he quietly raised his head and looked at the desert night sky.
The current Lingchu is still unable to use spiritual power. Although his physical body has been washed by spiritual power and is better than ordinary people, the improvement is limited. In addition, he was seriously injured. To be honest, the current Lingchu is indeed Somewhat weak.
Therefore, Lingchu, who was wrapped in a thick cloak, wrapped himself tightly, with only one head exposed, looking at the stars in the sky.
At night in the Northern Desert, the sky is full of stars, like a whole galaxy, hanging above everyone's heads, clean, shocking, and beautiful.
At this moment, in the sand dunes not far away, there was a thin line of quicksand flowing slowly.
