Lu Fan's mind was filled with the warm image of returning to the shelter and sitting around a cozy campfire with An Lan, happily enjoying a bear meat feast.

As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and his face was filled with a happy smile, as if the tempting aroma of meat was already lingering at the tip of his nose.

Finally, Lu Fan arrived at the shelter.

An Lan had been eagerly waiting at the door. When she saw Lu Fan dragging so much bear meat back from afar, her eyes widened instantly, filled with surprise.

She exclaimed excitedly, "Wow, so many! We're in for a treat! We're sure to have a delicious meal tonight!"

Lu Fan smiled as he unloaded the bear meat piece by piece, and stood side by side with An Lan beside the bear meat, beginning to seriously discuss how to process these ingredients.

His gaze fell on the two bear paws, and he said with a hint of anticipation, "Anlan, I've always wanted to try the taste of bear paws, but we've never made them before. We can only try to figure it out slowly and study it together. Maybe we can even create a unique delicacy!"

Without further ado, Lu Fan first carefully washed the bear paws with water again.

He discovered that although the bear paws had been roasted before, some fine downy hairs still remained.

So he placed the bear paw on the fire and patiently burned off the fur.

This process was not easy. There was fur hidden between the bear's paws, and it took him a long time to clean it. But he kept thinking, "I can't give up for this delicious meal."

After cleaning, the next step is to remove the hard shell from the bear paws.

Lu Fan held the dagger and carefully cut along the edge of the hard shell, afraid of cutting into the flesh inside with each stroke.

An Lan watched nervously from the side, reminding him from time to time, "Be careful, don't hurt your hand."

After some effort, the hard shell was finally removed completely, revealing the tender pink bear paw meat inside.

Next came the cooking. Lu Fan remembered some cooking methods he had read in a book and decided to blanch the bear paws first.

He put the bear paw into a pot, added an appropriate amount of water, and also added a few slices of ginger and scallions in the hope of removing some of the fishy smell.

After the water boiled, a lot of foam rose to the surface of the pot. Lu Fan quickly skimmed off the foam with a spoon, laughing as he did so, saying, "This looks like stewed pig's trotters."

Watching the water in the pot gradually become clear, he breathed a sigh of relief: "The first step went fairly smoothly."

The blanched bear paws have changed somewhat, becoming more vibrant in color.

Lu Fan began preparing various spices. He took out mint, bay leaves, chili peppers, lemon leaves, and whatever he had collected, and laid them out on the table one by one.

Anlan helped by washing and crushing the spices.

Looking at the spices, Lu Fan joked, "These spices are all my treasures. I'm bringing them all out today to treat this bear paw."

With everything ready, Lu Fan placed the blanched bear paw into the casserole.

Add the prepared spices, some salt, ginger, and wild onions, then add enough water to cover the pot. Cover the pot and simmer over low heat.

While watching the heat, he said to Anlan, "This bear paw must be stewed slowly to let the flavor penetrate."

While waiting, Lu Fan and An Lan began processing the other bear meat.

They cut the bear meat, which was suitable for grilling, into small pieces, skewered them with bamboo skewers, and rubbed them with some salt and chili flakes, preparing to grill them over a fire later.

The bear meat, which is suitable for stewing, is placed in another pot with some vegetables and seasonings to start cooking bear meat soup.

The sanctuary was filled with various aromas, and Big Horn and Lightning wagged their tails incessantly, their mouths practically watering.

They would occasionally huddle near the pot, wanting to smell the aroma, but Lu Fan would shoo them away with a smile: "Don't rush, don't rush, I'll give you some to eat after it's done."

As time passed, the bear paw in the casserole gradually emitted an enticing aroma.

Lu Fan opened the pot lid, and a rich aroma wafted out. He poked the bear paw with his chopsticks and found that it had become very soft.

He tasted the soup, and although it tasted pretty good, he still felt that something was missing.

At this moment, An Lan had a sudden inspiration and said, "Why don't we add some honey? Maybe it will make the flavor more unique."

Lu Fan thought it was a good idea, so he added some honey, stirred it well, and continued to simmer it for a while.

Finally, the bear paw was ready. Lu Fan placed the bear paw on a plate, sliced ​​it into thin slices, and arranged them on the table.

An Lan also brought out the grilled bear meat skewers and the cooked bear meat soup. The two of them looked at the sumptuous feast on the table and were filled with anticipation.

They first tasted the bear paw, and its tender texture and rich flavor captivated them.

"It's so delicious!" Lu Fan couldn't help but exclaim. "An Lan, your idea is really great. Adding honey makes it even better."

An Lan smiled happily: "I didn't expect that our first time making bear paws would be so successful."

Next, they ate grilled bear meat skewers and bear meat soup, and they praised everything they ate.

Big Horn and Lightning also got their share of the delicious food, which they ate with great relish.

Viewers, upon seeing this sumptuous bear meat feast, flooded the screen with comments expressing their envy.

"Wow, it looks so delicious, my mouth is watering."

"Lu Fan and An Lan are amazing! They can actually make such delicious bear paws."

Why aren't those brown bears participating in the lottery?

"What are you thinking? A lottery, it'll definitely be handled internally."

"Hey, upstairs, what do you mean by 'inside'?"

After finishing her meal, An Lan quietly walked to the side and carefully took the bear bile out of the basket lined with soft leaves.

Bear bile is oblong-oval in shape, narrow at the top and swollen at the bottom, about 10 to 20 centimeters long and 5 to 8 centimeters wide.

The surface is grayish-brown and looks very glossy when illuminated by light.

She turned to look at Lu Fan, her eyes full of joy: "Once this bear bile is processed, it will become a rare medicinal ingredient."

Bear bile has a strong effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. It can be used to treat sores, boils, sore throat, red and swollen eyes caused by heat toxin accumulation. It can help clear heat toxins from the body and relieve symptoms such as redness, swelling, heat and pain.

It can also be used to treat symptoms such as internal liver wind, epilepsy, and convulsions, and can calm liver wind and relieve muscle spasms and convulsions.

I'd only ever seen them in books before; this is the first time I've ever seen them in person.

Lu Fan stroked his chin and said, "This thing can also improve eyesight, right?"

An Lan looked at Lu Fan in surprise: "Wow, you're amazing! You even know this."

Lu Fan chuckled: "I used to stay up all night playing on my phone, and my eyes couldn't take it. So a friend recommended bear bile eye drops to me. They feel cool and refreshing when you put them in your eyes."

Upon hearing Lu Fan's answer, An Lan burst out laughing.
