"smell good--"
Not only Hua Xuan couldn't sit still, Qiucao also kept sniffing her nose, smelling the aroma of meat in the air.
Qiuye smelled the familiar smell of meat and felt excited. Yes, that's the smell.
After smelling it deeply for two times, she suddenly remembered that before leaving, Yang Cheng had told her that if she wanted to cook a pot of meat well, she needed to cover the lid while the meat was cooking.
Immediately, Qiuye turned around and looked around, and found a bamboo.
"Paji!"
"Bang!"
Qiuye raised his knife and dropped it, holding a hard bone knife made from the bones of ferocious beasts. He took a bamboo joint from the bamboo and made it into a bamboo cover, and then covered it on the pottery pot that was emitting the scent of steam. .
Suddenly, the scent in the tent became lighter.
This made Hua Xuan and Qiucao, who were intoxicated by the smell of meat, come back to their senses, and then felt a sense of reluctance.
The two of them were shouting crazily in their hearts, "Don't close the lid. They haven't had enough of the aroma of cooking meat!"
After Hua Xuan came back to her senses, her eyes towards the pottery pot became complicated. From the smell of meat she just smelled, it seemed that this pottery pot could really make delicious food as Qiuye said. food?
In this case, wouldn’t I have wronged Qiuye?
Hua Xuan was struggling in her heart, whether she should apologize to Qiu Ye, but when she thought about her being a witch, she couldn't disgrace herself.
But her confusion quickly disappeared.
Because as the meat was cooked for longer and longer, the smell of meat in the pottery pot became stronger and stronger, and Hua Xuan was suddenly immersed in this strong meat fragrance again.
Not only in the tent, the fragrance spread, but outside the tent, the people of the Vine Tribe who smelled the strong smell of meat involuntarily put down what they were doing, stretched their necks one by one, and kept their noses moving. The ground shook, smelling the aroma of meat, intoxicated by it, and slowly approached Hua Xuan's tent.
Later, Hua Xuan's tent was surrounded by more than a hundred people from the Vine Tribe.
Every clan member squinted their eyes, twitched their noses vigorously, greedily smelled the aroma of meat, and kept swallowing their saliva.
But it stopped there.
No matter how greedily the people of the Teng tribe sniffed the smell in the air, they did not dare to open the door of Hua Xuan's tent, let alone rush in.
Hua Xuan no longer cared about the commotion outside. She was now squatting next to the pottery pot like a little kitten waiting for dinner, her long white tail wagging non-stop, and her stomach growling.
"Qiuye, are you okay yet?" Hua Xuan asked Qiuye eagerly with her eyes wide open.
"Yes, sister, I can't wait."
Qiucao on the other side was also eager. Her stomach growled louder than Hua Xuan's. She looked at Qiuye and then quickly stared at the pottery pot in front of her.
After hearing what the two of them said, Qiuye opened the bamboo cover.
In an instant, a strong fragrance suddenly wafted out, making Qiucao and Hua Xuan almost break their noses!
Qiuye took a stick made of bamboo and stirred the broth. He saw that the beast meat had been boiled and turned white, and the water that was originally poured in was already shiny.
"It should be fine, right?" Qiuye said uncertainly.
This was also her first time cooking broth. After exchanging the pot, she hurried back without much rest. The original six-day journey was completed in five days.
"No matter, no matter, Qiuye, I want to eat it now."
How could Hua Xuan care so much? She wiped her mouth and drank the broth.
Qiuye nodded, carefully took the pot off the fire and placed it on the ground next to it.
Then he took a pottery bowl, wiped it clean with animal skin, scooped out a bowl from the pot and handed it to Hua Xuan, saying: "Witch, be careful, it's a bit hot."
Hua Xuan took the pottery bowl from Qiu Ye's hand.
As soon as I got it, I was a little surprised by the weight of the pottery bowl, but then I didn't take it seriously when Qiuye said it was "hot".
What's "hot" about it?
Isn’t this pottery bowl just warm when you get it?
Hua Xuan thought about it and couldn't wait to take a big sip of broth.
moment!
Hua Xuan's eyes widened, and her white face turned red.
"hiss--"
Hua Xuan spat the broth back, sticking out her tongue and sucking in air to relieve the burning sensation in her mouth.
Seeing this, Qiu Ye was shocked and hurriedly took another pottery bowl and scooped a bowl of cold water to Hua Xuan and asked, "Witch, are you okay?"
Hua Xuan drank the cold water that was handed to her, and her mouth felt much better. She waved her hands to show that she was fine.
"I told you, the broth is too hot, you have to be careful when drinking it..." Qiuye complained, pouting.
"Hehe..." Hua Xuan laughed twice, "I didn't expect that this broth would not be hot to the touch, but would actually be so hot to eat."
As she said that, Hua Xuan glanced at the pottery bowl in confusion. She didn't expect that this thing was not only light, but also felt warm even if it contained such a hot thing?
However, this question was put aside by Hua Xuan first, and she drank the broth again.
This time she learned the lesson and drank in small sips.
"Well!"
A mouthful of broth entered the stomach from the mouth. First, the mouth tasted the tenderness of the cooked meat, which was completely different from the barbecue. Then, the stomach felt hot, and then the whole body warmed up.
“So delicious!”
Hua Xuan's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.
She didn't expect that what Qiuye said was true. This thing called a clay pot could actually make delicious food!
After the shock, the next step was Hua Xuan's personal performance of enjoying the food.
She drank in small sips first, then finished one bowl, and then the next. It wasn't until she drank one-third of the pot that she gave up and continued drinking.
At this time, Hua Xuan's belly had stretched out, as if she was two months pregnant, and because she ate too fast, Hua Xuan started to hiccup.
"Hiccup~ Qiuye, the food made in this clay pot you brought back is so delicious. I have never eaten such delicious meat!"
Hua Xuan gave the pottery pot a high evaluation, and then after finishing her meal, she heard a thick roar coming from outside the tent - it was the stomach growls of the people of the Vine Tribe.
There was a louder voice next to her. She turned around and saw that it was Qiucao whose eyes were green, his stomach was growling, and the saliva dripping from his mouth was about to fall to the ground.
What else could Hua Xuan say?
"Ahem, Qiucao, it's your turn to eat!"
"Thank you Wu!"
Qiucao cheered, then eagerly picked up a pottery bowl, scooped up the remaining boiled meat in the pot, and drank it in big gulps. It looked even crazier than a hungry wolf pouncing on food!
Qiucao exclaimed while drinking: "This broth is so delicious!"
Hua Xuan, on the other hand, watched Qiucao pour broth into her mouth one by one, and licked her mouth with a look of unfulfilled interest, but when she touched her round belly, it turned into regret.
Why is my belly so small?
Such delicious food, it’s such a shame that we can see it but not be able to eat it!
