Chapter 67 Grilled Bear Paws
It was dusk. The sun was setting.
People set up a campfire next to the Malayan bear to cut meat and grill it.
After the mutant Malayan bear died, it returned to its size before it became giant. It weighed about 200 kilograms, enough for them to eat for a day.
"Freshly grilled bear paws, Anzi, you can eat half of it." Hu Deyi dipped the half bear paw in seasoning and sprinkled a layer of fine white sesame seeds on it. "Try uncle's cooking."
After taking the heavy grilled bear paw, the rich meaty aroma went straight into his nostrils. He was already salivating before he ate it.
"Uncle, do you still need to taste your cooking? It would be a pity if you don't become a chef at a five-star hotel!"
Liu Jianan couldn't wait to take a bite of the grilled bear paw.
The bear paw was roasted to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. One bite filled his mouth with the aroma of meat.
The tendons inside were soft and chewy, similar to chicken feet, but more chewy.
Combined with the flavor of the seasoning, it stimulated his taste buds.
It was so fragrant!
"Absolutely, absolutely! Uncle, this bear paw is so delicious!"
As he spoke, the gravy flowed into his throat, and he hurriedly swallowed the juice to avoid choking.
There were ten people in their group, except Liu Jianan who got half a bear paw, everyone else also got a piece.
In the end, there were two pieces left, and Hu Deyi simply gave one to the little King Kong who was looking at him eagerly.
"Aaaaah!" Little King Kong cheered excitedly, grabbing the scalding roasted bear paw and eating it while it was burning.
"Don't worry, no one is competing with you for it." Liu Zhenan shook his head and laughed.
"An'an, why not summon Xiao Duan out and let him eat something too." Zhang Wenqian suggested.
Her Zhang Bao can't eat anything. They are all summoned creatures, but Xiao Duan seems to be particularly different.
Liu Zhenan thought about it and thought, okay.
Xiao Duan has helped him a lot. Before, on the boat, the conditions were limited and Xiao Duan didn't have anything good to eat.
Let him eat this time.
The moment Duan Haiping was summoned, he was ready to fight.
However, what greeted him was not an enemy, but a string of roasted bear paws with the aroma of meat, and rows of barbecued meat skewered on bamboo sticks.
"Hmm?" What's going on?
Liu Jianan brought the roasted bear paw to him: "Xiao Duan, try the roasted bear paw. You can't buy this stuff even if you have money. You are really lucky."
Duan Haiping stared at the other's greasy lips, and couldn't help thinking of that ridiculous night and the kiss full of the taste of red wine.
Seeing that the other party didn't take it, Liu Jianan thought that Xiao Duan was embarrassed, and simply fed it to his mouth: "Eat it, don't be embarrassed, everyone has it."
The bear paw was really roasted too crispy, and it was heavy.
Liu Jianan just raised it up, and the bamboo stick broke. He quickly reached down with both hands and caught the bear paw before it fell to the ground.
It was a close call.
"I washed my hands before dinner. If you think it's dirty, just get some mineral water from my bag to wash them." Liu Jianan said, holding the plump bear paw.
Duan Haiping didn't say anything, but slightly bent over and tasted the bear paw from Liu Jianan's hand.
So lazy that he doesn't even want to take it?
Liu Jianan glared at him unhappily, but he didn't expect that little Duan was also looking at him. His eyes were dark and unclear, and in the dim light, they hid emotions that he couldn't understand.
"How does it taste?" Is the bear paw not delicious?
Duan Haiping touched the oily inner wall of his mouth with the tip of his tongue: "Not bad."
Just good?
Liu Jianan frowned in disbelief. This is obviously a delicacy from the mountains and the sea, okay!
Perhaps sensing the boy's dissatisfaction, Duan Haiping made a fair judgment: "The bear paw is very fresh and cooked just right. However, this kind of thick bear paw is best dipped in spicy sauce or other strong sauces, and the taste will be better."
For most people, bear paw is a rare delicacy.
Duan Haiping has been accustomed to eating delicacies from land and sea since he was a child. The chefs in the Duan family are all as good as the chefs in five-star hotels, and their cooking skills are naturally much better than Hu Deyi.
"Uncle Hu, don't listen to his nonsense. What can he, a summoned creature, know?" Liu Jianan hurriedly added.
Hu Deyi was thoughtful: "Anzi, I think what Duanzi said makes sense. The roasted bear paw tastes light, and it really needs some chili sauce to enhance the flavor."
Since Uncle Hu did not blame Xiao Duan, Liu Jianan was relieved, but he did not dare to let Xiao Duan talk nonsense in front of everyone.
"Eat yours, and don't talk until you finish eating." Liu Jianan kept holding the bear paw in his hand and warned fiercely.
It was the first time that Duan Haiping was warned so unreasonably.
Surprisingly, he was not angry at all, and even stopped talking obediently and continued to taste the bear paw.
There was no words for a while.
Liu Jianan took advantage of Xiao Duan eating and secretly admired this face.
I don't know what's going on with Duan Haiping, but the situation should be much better than that in Yuncheng. According to the timeline in the novel, the Duan family should have reached a cooperation with the military by now. Duan Haiping
has become one of the most famous people in Kyoto, and has access to resources that are difficult for ordinary people to obtain. Many bigwigs are vying to marry him.
With his personality, he won't marry someone he doesn't like in order to consolidate his position. The business empire he created does not need to rely on marriage as a help.
But Liu Jianan can't help but worry, wondering if he will be as greedy and reckless as in the novel.
In order to strengthen his own strength as quickly as possible, he treated his subordinates harshly, forcing them to be alienated and his confidants to betray him, resulting in him being attacked from all sides.
Liu Jianan didn't come back to his senses until he felt his palms getting wet.
He frowned and looked at the water stains on his palms: "You don't have to eat so cleanly."
Duan Haiping said innocently: "Ingredients are rare, so of course they can't be wasted."
Liu Jianan didn't argue and took some water to wash his hands.
Duan Haiping followed Liu Jianan and asked: "What were you thinking about just now? Why are you so serious?"
"I'm worried about the country and the people," Liu Jianan raised his eyes, "Do you have any opinion?"
Duan Haiping sneered at his answer and didn't pursue it any further. He just asked him: "Do you remember what happened last night?"
Last night?
Oh, Liu Jianan remembered: "I was drunk last night. Sorry, I promised to let you out for some fresh air every day, but I forgot yesterday."
Duan Haiping: "..."
It turned out that he was the only one who remembered what happened in the tent last night.
No responsibility after kissing, okay, Liu Jianan, you have guts!
