Jiang Yanyue plunged into the encirclement of the dumplings, touching this one, hugging that one, and forgetting herself in the humming sounds.
The little dumplings were also very close to Jiang Yanyue, and all vied to get close to her.
The males simply brought the stones over to polish them, and then volunteered to babysit with Jiang Yanyue. The iron-eating beasts were of course delighted to see this.
It was almost noon when Wu Chen returned with injuries all over his body and a newly hunted bull.
The family decided to have a picnic and eat beef hotpot, and they all got busy, some making the fire, some setting the pot, and some butchering the beef.
Jiang Yanyue took out the huge double-boiled pot she brought from the house, half filled with red soup and half with broth.
"The prey in spring is so fat and contains a lot of lard." Jiang Yanyue helped to temporarily put away the unused parts.
"We caught a lot of prey while fighting. Come with me to collect them later." Wu Chen said.
"If we leave it alone, won't it be eaten by wild animals or taken away by others?" Jiang Yanyue asked worriedly.
"No, the aura of Gu Yue and I doesn't dissipate that quickly. Most animals don't dare to get close to us."
Wu Chen prepared oily and dry dishes for Jiang Yanyue. Since Nanxing was not around, the dishes he prepared were Jiang Yanyue's favorite.
"I should have cooked it earlier. It takes a while to boil and then it becomes fragrant." Jiang Yanyue took out a few slices of freeze-dried fruit to fill her stomach. She was a little hungry.
"That's easy." Qinglan went to find Zhang Qiong's family by the river. They also planned to have a picnic there and had already caught two prey and roasted them.
Qinglan went to find one of the three brothers, Zhang Qiong. The three iron-eating beast husbands had the same face, and she really didn't recognize which husband they were.
But it’s never wrong to call him brother-in-law.
My brother-in-law lit a small flame with his fingers and added it directly to the fire of Jiang Yanyue and the others. There was no visible change in the flame, but the bubbles in the pot increased visibly, and the aroma of the hot pot completely exploded.
"Fire-based abilities are quite useful." Jiang Yanyue took a breath of the hot pot aroma and sighed.
Wu Chen leaned over with a cold face and ate the freeze-dried strawberry in Jiang Yanyue's hand in one bite, "I won't give it to you."
"Hey!" Jiang Yanyue looked at the other males in confusion, "What's going on?"
"Wu Chen's brother Gu Yue is a fire element." Liu Xia explained kindly.
"Wu Chen's tail is still pitch black." Qinglan used the wind blade to cut the most essential piece of the hanging dragon into evenly thin slices and arranged them on a plate covered with ice.
Jiang Yanyue took the plate and said, "That's really a sin."
Absolutely fresh ingredients. The beef needs to be shaken slightly before being put into the pot. Use chopsticks to blanch it for one or two seconds. When it changes color, take it out and coat it with dry sauce powder.
Jiang Yanyue blanched a few slices and went to find Wuchen with the bowl in hand. "Here you go, Diaolong hotpot is the best."
"Hmph." Wu Chen turned his face slightly away proudly.
"I brought it specially for you." Jiang Yanyue rubbed against Wu Chen's arms.
Wu Chen took the person into his arms and hid his dark tail behind him.
"I actually lost. I'm so unwilling to accept it." Wu Chen ate the meat with gritted teeth. If you didn't know him, you would think he was eating snake meat.
"No, take out the sack. I need to cook two snakes." Wu Chen took two bites and became angrier the more he thought about it.
Jiang Yanyue looked at him with a smile. It was rare to see Wu Chen like this, it was quite interesting.
Wu Chen blocked Jiang Yanyue's eyes and said, "Take it out. It won't scare you."
A bulging and moving sack appeared out of nowhere. Wu Chen quickly picked out the two fattest snakes, tied the sack tightly, and asked Jiang Yanyue to take them back.
When Jiang Yanyue opened her eyes, Wu Chen had already walked a long way towards the river. Jiang Yanyue could only see his back and did not see any trace of the snake.
There is no need to even talk about being scared.
Wu Chen quickly brought over the washed and cut snake meat and prepared to put it into the clear soup pot.
"This is beef hotpot. Won't the taste be altered if snake meat is added?" Qinglan is a particular person and is very picky about food.
Wu Chen stopped moving.
"Just let him eat it. If he doesn't eat the snake meat, I don't know how he'll toss and turn at night." Liuxia said sympathetically.
"That's right, I can't get out anyway." Jiang Yanyue agreed.
"I can't get out either." Yi Yuan also nodded. As a fierce tiger who eats canned dried herrings, the smell of hot pot is really not worth mentioning.
"Then I'm fine." Qinglan said indifferently. At worst, he would just have to eat the red soup.
Snake meat needs to be cooked for a longer time, so the family ate something else. Jiang Yanyue was suddenly fed a piece of meat with a special taste by Wu Chen.
Jiang Yanyue chewed it carefully and said, "It tastes quite good."
The taste of hotpot is slightly different from that of stew and braised food, but Jiang Yanyue is quite accepting of it.
The males also became curious and started to eat the snake meat. It tasted really good.
Jiang Yanyue thought the two snakes were quite a lot, but the family finished them with just a few chopsticks each. Jiang Yanyue still felt a little unsatisfied.
"Take out the sack, I'll go get some more." Yi Yuan stood up.
Qinglan stuffed two mouthfuls of meat into his mouth and stood up, "I'll go with you."
Birds eat insects and snakes. The mountains in the East Continent are high and the forests are dense. The climate is hot and humid, and there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants. Qinglan is also an expert in eating snakes.
This time Yi Yuan took the whole sack away.
Wu Chen blanched some vegetables for Jiang Yanyue and put them in a bowl. "Yi Yuan and the others won't be back soon, so eat slowly."
"How come it smells so good?" Zhang Qiong was attracted by the aroma and came over to check while chewing on the skewers.
"Would you like to try it?" Jiang Yanyue took new bowls and chopsticks and scooped meat and vegetables from the pot for Zhang Qiong.
"Eat it with the dipping sauce. Mine is a bit spicy. I wonder if you can handle it?"
Zhang Qiong tried it and thought it was good, but the use of seasonings was not widespread in the Beast World, and Jiang Yanyue's taste was a bit too strong for her, so in the end she just asked her partner to pick up some juicy vegetables to blanch.
Zhang Qiong went back satisfied with a bowl of vegetables and half a bowl of hot pot soup.
"Eat more meat, okay? Look at how good Zhang Qiong's teeth are." Wu Chen fed a piece of fat beef into Jiang Yanyue's mouth and coaxed her softly.
Jiang Yanyue squinted her eyes and scratched Wuchen with the white of her eye. "Where are you touching?"
Wu Chen rubbed her twice more firmly, "Yanyan's waist is too thin. Every time I touch it, I feel like it's going to break."
The beautiful fox eyes still looked at him with a look that made people's heart flutter. "Then why have I never seen you stop?"
Wu Chen said confidently, "If I suddenly brake at that moment, don't you really think I'm crazy?"
"Okay, you win."
Liu Xia coughed twice in dissatisfaction. "I said, I'm still here. I didn't go to the river with them. You can either talk about this topic behind my back or with me. What's the big deal about talking about it in front of me?"
Liu Xia forcefully took Jiang Yanyue away and said, "Now it's my turn to talk to Yanyan."
Jiang Yanyue smiled awkwardly, "Let's talk about this behind closed doors when we get back."
Liu Xia refused, "Then you tell Wu Chen?"
Jiang Yanyue quickly boiled two pieces of tripe to appease Yuyu, "That was a misunderstanding."
Jiang Yanyue had coaxed him, so of course Liuxia was coaxed into submission without any obstacles.
