Chapter 90 Something's Wrong! Why are you drooling over that cow? ...
The cattle herd became even more chaotic after discovering that there were multiple predators.
Lu Xuan casually waved his arm at the trapped bison, and the heads of more than twenty bison were instantly severed by invisible wind blades. The wounds were frozen at the same time, preventing the spread of blood to the greatest extent possible.
Lu Xuan walked over and collected the prey one by one as if no one else was around. By the time he finished collecting them all, the other two groups of predators had also successfully completed their hunt.
However, the bison were too large to carry their prey away. Moreover, bison were much more temperamental than other herbivores. After the initial panic subsided, they became enraged, and the male bison were angrily pawing the ground with their hind legs, preparing to launch a counterattack against the wolves and tigers.
Considering that everyone struggled to make a living, Lu Xuan pondered for a moment and then unleashed several more wind blades, tearing the wild buffalo they had hunted into pieces so they could carry them away.
Wolves and tigers: !!!
The two groups of predators were initially startled, but then they realized that he was helping them. The tiger grabbed the most delicious and largest piece of beef that it could lift and quickly disappeared.
Because of their large numbers, the wolf pack easily caught all the pieces of meat by taking bites from each wolf.
They even cunningly snatched the cow that the tiger couldn't take, their fleeing figures filled with the joy of getting something for nothing.
[Hahaha, they got hundreds of pounds of meat for free! These wolves really got a great deal.]
They just ran off without even saying thank you.
[Pfft, it would be scary if you actually told me.]
The streamer even helped with the segmentation; if they could really talk, they'd probably say, "You're actually a pretty nice person."
It seems unfair to the bison; their lives aren't easy either.
Lu Xuan said, "If a real fight breaks out, the bison will definitely get injured. In this weather, their wounds will quickly become infected and fester, and death will be all that awaits them. I'm helping them preserve their strength."
Audience: That sounds reasonable, but aren't you the one who actually killed the most bison?!
Helping them preserve their fighting force is a complete joke.
Without the wolves and tigers, the bison herd could only vent their anger on Lu Xuan.
Before they could launch an attack, Lu Xuan released some of his supernatural power.
The enraged bison, gathering their strength: !!!
Strong and robust, the bison, who considered themselves kings of this grassland and unmatched by any other beast, froze in place.
Then they began to slowly retreat, suppressing their hostility, closing their mouths and silently lowering their heads, using all their strength to convey their thoughts to the two-legged beasts that were emanating a terrifying aura not far away.
Bison: I'm not fighting anymore, please let me go!
[Pfft, they chickened out so quickly. I thought they'd fight to the death.]
Why risk death when life is at stake? Animals have a strong instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm.
If you can't beat them, can't you just admit defeat?
Admitting defeat is also a tactic; enduring temporary humiliation for the sake of the tribe's peace is worthwhile!
Lu Xuan: You guys are really dramatic.
[We've got the beef too! Come back, streamer, let's eat meat!! *begging*]
Yes, yes, yes!
Lu Xuan said, "What's the rush? The matter isn't finished yet."
The audience was puzzled; what else could it be?
Lu Xuan's gaze swept over the herd of cattle that were silently feigning death, finally settling on several female beasts in the herd whose bellies were visibly swollen and whose breasts were enlarged.
Glug.
Lu Xuan swallowed hard.
Viewers who noticed this scene: ? ? ? Why are you drooling over the cow? Something's not right!
[Host, are you serious?? You're not actually interested in these cows, are you?! That's a really strong taste.]
[Is it because I've been single for too long that even a cow looks good to me?!]
No! I don't believe it! The streamer couldn't possibly be that indiscriminate.
[Hey streamer, there's a reproductive barrier between you guys! Have some decency and leave these cows alone!]
【You've completely ruined your public image!!!】
Lu Xuan was speechless: "Have some decency. I only want their milk."
Audience: ...Huh?
Lu Xuan bought several sets of disinfectant gloves from the daily necessities category in the mall, took out a few wooden buckets, put on the gloves, and walked towards the bison that had begun to tremble.
The cattle clearly wanted to run away, but they froze again under Lu Xuan's even stronger pressure.
I dare not move.
Lu Xuan walked up to the first cow, patted it gently to comfort it, placed the wooden bucket under the cow's belly, grabbed the target to get a feel for it, and then squeezed it hard.
The slightly yellowish milk with a fishy smell fell into the wooden bucket with a "biu~".
Seeing that things were going smoothly, Lu Xuan smiled and then focused on squeezing the milk.
Audience: ...Oh, this.
[Cough, I knew the streamer wasn't into such extreme tastes, and I was right!]
[Emmm... I thought I was here to watch ancient survival shows, but I ended up watching people milking people, and I was actually enjoying it!]
[Shocking! Tangtang, a level seven ability user, actually did this to a cow.]
[Pfft, that's enough!]
*Pfft, pfft... pfft pfft pfft...*
As Lu Xuan's movements became more skilled and faster, more and more milk piled up in the wooden bucket, soon filling the entire bucket.
The wooden bucket in his hand has a capacity of fifteen liters, which translates to about thirty kilograms.
There might be some slight discrepancies due to the different densities of water and milk, but the results are generally similar.
Lu Xuan didn't know if this production capacity was too high or too low, but he was already very satisfied.
The viewers in the live stream were also curious about the taste of freshly squeezed milk. Someone boldly reached out, scooped up a handful of milk, and gulped it down into their mouth, and then…
[Ugh—Holy crap, this tastes awful! This milk is awful!]
I thought I was the only one who made a fool of myself.
You're not alone, it really tastes awful, yue—
Lu Xuan, who had just changed to an empty milk container, saw these comments and mocked, "Who told you to drink raw milk? Milk needs to be boiled at high temperature for five to ten minutes to sterilize and remove the fishy smell before it can be drunk."
Bison have an uncontrolled diet and are much more varied than domestic cattle. Their milk is definitely more fishy and less palatable than that of domestic cattle.
Lu Xuan said, "If you want to drink good milk, wait until I get back and have it sorted out."
The audience, already aware of the horrors of raw milk, naturally nodded in agreement.
The more than twenty wild buffalo that Lu Xuan hunted before were specially selected, and there were no female cows among them. Among the remaining female cows, there were five that were still lactating.
The five cows brought Lu Xuan four and a half buckets of milk, totaling more than 130 jin (approximately 65 kg).
After feeding the cows, Lu Xuan strolled around the grassland and got some more mutton and rabbit meat. He only turned back home when he felt the temperature in the air had risen significantly.
Back at the mountaintop, Lu Xuan spent some time dealing with the bison.
He brought back a total of 24 bison on this trip. Each adult bison weighed an average of 1,500 jin (750 kg) and yielded about 800 jin (400 kg) of meat. In the end, he obtained 19,000 jin (6,500 kg) of meat, almost exceeding 20,000 jin (10,000 kg).
This is the net meat excluding the offal; if the offal is included, it will be another 5,000 jin or so.
In addition, there are more than 6,000 catties of beef bones, which are good for making bone soup or for eating bone marrow.
The 30,000 jin (15,000 kg) of "goods" filled hundreds of large boxes to the brim.
With so much meat and bones, the Lu family could eat until the end of the cataclysmic period.
Lu Xuan put the large piece of meat into his meat-eating space bead, leaving behind about twenty catties of meat suitable for making steaks, as well as four beef bones, to prepare lunch.
First, cut the steak into suitable thickness and size, then marinate it with a small amount of oil, salt, and Shaoxing wine.
Lu Xuan was too lazy to make anything too complicated with the bone marrow, so he decided to just stew it.
Cut the pork bones into three sections, wash them, blanch them with scallions, ginger, and rice wine to remove any unpleasant smell, then rinse off the scum and put them back into the pot with water to simmer.
While waiting, Lu Xuan used his metal-type superpower to make a frying pan the size of a washbasin, heated it up, poured in oil, and then put the marinated beef chops on it to fry over high heat.
As the sizzling sound came from the pan, the unique aroma of steak quickly wafted out.
The viewers in the live stream were mesmerized by the aroma, which was completely different from pork, chicken, or any other kind of meat.
It smells so good!
A steak only needs to be pan-fried for about two minutes before it's ready to serve. However, it's best not to eat a freshly pan-fried steak right away. Let it rest for three to five minutes to allow the residual heat from the surface of the meat to slowly penetrate into the interior. This step can also improve the texture.
However, many viewers in the live stream were impatient and started eating the meat as soon as it was cooked.
I can't wait, I'll eat first! Ahhh, it's so delicious!
[The beef is firmer and more chewy than any I've tasted in other live streams. The juices are completely locked inside, resulting in a crispy exterior and tender interior. It's lean yet not dry—simply amazing!]
Wild boar meat has such a strong, unpleasant smell that I can't eat it without plenty of seasoning. This beef, which is also wild, has almost no gamey smell! It's so delicious!
The other viewers who hadn't started eating were getting impatient, but they still endured it for a few more minutes until Lu Xuan sprinkled a layer of pepper on the steak and said, "It's ready to eat," before they couldn't wait to dig in.
【Wow!! I knew the wait would be worth it! Pepper really is the soul of steak!】
[The streamer prepared a whopping 20 pounds of meat! Hahaha, I can eat to my heart's content, this is so satisfying!]
While the audience enjoyed the food, Lu Xuan fried the second piece of meat and then quickly devoured the first steak in a few bites.
Lu Xuan's skill in cooking steak was actually quite ordinary. The first piece was slightly burnt on the outside and only medium-rare on the inside because he didn't control the heat and time well, which didn't suit his taste.
He doesn't like eating raw meat; he prefers his steak to be at least medium-rare or medium.
He glanced at the comments and noticed that many viewers were saying the meat was a bit undercooked, so he adjusted the cooking time starting from the second piece.
As for those who preferred raw meat and wanted him to cook it rare, he simply ignored them.
He decides the flavor of his meat.
Lu Xuan cut 20 jin of beef into 40 steaks. Including the time for the meat to rest, he fried six steaks at a time in one pot, and it took him a total of 15 minutes to finish cooking them all.
Because he was eating and cooking at the same time, by the time the steak that had been cut earlier was finished, it had all ended up in Lu Xuan's stomach.
After finishing the steak, the stewed beef leg bones were ready.
Bone marrow may look like fatty meat, but it is actually much tastier than plain fatty meat. It melts in your mouth and is fragrant, soft, and tender.
Lu Xuan also specially prepared a variety of sauces.
Garlic sauce, mushroom sauce, chopped green onions, chili powder, and pepper can be mixed together according to your taste, or you can simply dip it in soy sauce for an amazing flavor.
The rare and thoughtful service moved the audience, who buried themselves in their food with tears in their eyes.
While eating the bone marrow, they drank a couple of sips of the juice that Lu Xuan had prepared in advance. They didn't feel greasy at all; they just felt that they could never get enough of it.
