"Is this? Cumin? It smells so good!"
Walking in the forest, Zheng Yuan picked a black seed as big as half a fist from a vine on a nearby tree trunk. It looked dry and looked like an enlarged grass fruit.
Detection: Cumin fruit, cardamom genus of Zingiberaceae family, grows in warm forests, length: 8 cm, weight: 76g, fruit with hard appearance.
Capture level: 1 and below.
Edible status: Edible. Inside the hard shell are seeds similar to ground cumin. The taste will be stronger after the shell is crushed.
Cooking method: Crack the shell and dry the seeds inside in the sun for 3 days (see details).
"Take two."
Zheng Yuan used a little force and twisted another one off the vine, then threw it into his backpack.
"about there!"
After patting the slightly bulging bag, Zheng Yuan decided to call it a day.

Dragging the sweet bear, Zheng Yuan found a river with a blue surface. Through the clear water, several small gray-black fish swam leisurely with their tails wagging.
"Cumin nut, claddock ginger, fiery onions..."
He bent down to pick out various ingredients from his backpack and washed them in the river water.
"You're the only big guy left!"
Zheng Yuan took out a sharp scale knife and cut off the sweet bear's arms, chest and belly. He chose the bear's heart for the internal organs. Zheng Yuan used 30 hairs to completely freeze the remaining meat.
Peel off the outer skin, revealing the tender pink meat inside. There are no large pieces of fat, but the fat distribution like a fine steak. The belly is the fattest, followed by the chest, and the bear's paws are the most muscular.
"Roast your belly and chest, and marinate bear paws?"
Zheng Yuan scanned the system and started processing according to the steps.
He took out a folding metal piece from his backpack and unfolded it into a large pot big enough for Zheng Yuan to take a bath. Put all the meat, ginger and onions in, then pour in half a pack of salt and moko honey, seal the lid and marinate for half an hour.
"It always feels a bit monotonous. Is there anything else around?"
Touching his chin, Zheng Yuan glanced around. Although there was a lot, he was still a little dissatisfied.
"That is?"
There was nothing special about the surroundings, but Zheng Yuan's sharp eyes discovered a disharmonious place.
"This is?"
Under a tree by the river, there is a small plant that looks like a sweet potato leaf in the grass.
Testing: Beef potatoes, Solanaceae, Solanaceae, grow in moist places such as rivers, length: 0.4 meters, width: 0.2 meters, weight: 1.5kg, potatoes with the texture and taste of beef.
Capture level: 1 and below.
Edible status: Edible, 1.7 kcal/g. The taste is a combination of beef and potatoes, but it is more difficult to handle. Do not remove it from the water before it is cooked, otherwise it will be dry and difficult to swallow. It is a semi-special cooking ingredient (can check the details).
Cooking method: The current best method is to put it in 24.4-degree water, peel off the skin, cut into pieces, and stew with the sweet bear's breast meat and belly meat (see details).
"What luck!"
Zheng Yuan was overjoyed. He held the slender seedlings with his hands and pulled them out vigorously. Several large potatoes popped out of the ground.
"What an unexpected bonus!"
Zheng Yuan threw the potato into the water, and it floated in the river with waves of soil. Under the black soil was a bright yellow skin. Who would have thought that there would be beef-like flesh inside?
------
"smell good!"
Steam came out of the pot, and there was a gurgling sound inside. There were hundreds of large meat skewers sprinkled with cumin stuck next to the fire.
The sun in the sky has risen above Zheng Yuan's head. After several hours of hard work, Zheng Yuan finally finished cooking.
Picking up the oversized meat skewers that were skewered with high-temperature resistant wooden skewers. The wooden skewers as long as an adult's arm were filled with belly meat as big as a table tennis ball. The roasted meat was sizzling with oil.
"Thank you for all the ingredients in the world! I'm rolling!"
Open your mouth wide, bite from the middle of the skewer, pull down the skewer, and pieces of oily belly meat will enter your mouth.
"Such a tender texture! The aroma of cumin and the spiciness of the hot onions completely stimulate the wild flavor of the sweet bear meat, and there is also a little sweetness of moko honey in the aftertaste!"
Zheng Yuan's eyes widened, and the hot meat juices overflowed with the chewing. The extremely spicy taste of the onions made the corners of Zheng Yuan's mouth turn red. He opened his mouth wide and sucked in the cool air to cool down the meat in his mouth.
"The breast meat is chewier! It's also delicious!"
After finishing one, Zheng Yuan couldn't wait to pick up another flavor of skewers. The seasoning was the same, but the texture of the meat made the taste completely different.
...
It took about half an hour, and when the aroma in the pot reached its peak, Zheng Yuan also finished the skewers.
"It's been a long time since I've done it, it's so cool!"
Zheng Yuan's face was full of relief, and the corners of his mouth were red, with oil and seasoning stained on them, making him look very unimpressive.
"Bear paw! In my previous life, it was against the law to eat this stuff. I just watched the video, so I don't know what to do!"
Licking the seasoning off his mouth with his flexible tongue, Zheng Yuan drooled and looked at the covered cauldron.
Lifting the lid of the pot, the aroma was several times stronger, the soup was a little dry, and a smaller bear paw lay in the center, next to pieces of brown beef and potatoes.
Ignoring the fact that the pot was still steaming and the soup was boiling, Zheng Yuan started directly, picked up the bear's paw and started chewing it.
"So soft and waxy!"
My eyes widened again. The rich collagen made the bear's paws soft and chewy after being stewed. The hot onions were full of sweetness after being stewed, without being spicy, and they complemented the moko honey.
The starch in the beef and potatoes makes the soup thicker, and it tastes better when it is dipped in the bear's paw. In fact, Zheng Yuan ate the meat pad in the center of the bear's paw at first. The full amount of collagen made Zheng Yuan's skin more elastic. The rough skin caused by being in the wild and experiencing death has also disappeared.
"The meat on the fingers is so delicate! The meat on the arms is so chewy! The beef and potatoes are delicious, with both the flavor of beef and the unique aroma of potatoes!"
Zheng Yuan kept exclaiming, and his hair continued to fill up while eating.
"Phew, it feels so good!"
Lying on the grass, Zheng Yuan looked at the sky and touched his slightly bulging belly with a happy expression.
