"Sister Rice, the little deer is so cute, is it really delicious?"
DouDou squatted on the ground, and BaoZi's face showed no sadness, but rather a hint of curiosity.
"Yes, this deer is enough for us to eat for two days. The weather is hot now, and food spoils easily, but drying the venison into jerky will preserve it well."
Xu Milu used a small dagger to carefully cut off the deer hide, and then scooped the warm deer blood into a bowl and placed it aside.
"Animal blood contains a certain amount of salt, which can supplement the human body's needs, but it is essential to confirm that the deer is not infected before consumption."
Su He's eyes flickered, knowing that Xu Milu was teaching him wilderness survival skills. He didn't want to miss a single detail of Xu Milu's actions, and dared not miss a thing.
Xu Milu had never handled a live deer on her own before, but fortunately she had seen people slaughter pigs, so she could learn a thing or two by imitation.
Cut a large piece of fresh venison into cubes and marinate with cooking wine. Heat oil in a pot, add scallions, garlic, and chili peppers and stir-fry until fragrant. Then cut potatoes into chunks and add them to the pot, stir-frying over high heat. Add the venison cubes and stir-fry until the venison changes color. Add half a pot of water and simmer. Before serving, add salt and MSG, thicken with a little cornstarch slurry, and finally sprinkle with fresh alfalfa greens. A pot of hot venison and wild vegetable soup is ready.
"Can this grass be used as food? I've seen a lot of it in the city before. Before the disaster, the vegetables we ate were all organic vegetables grown in farms. I only heard my grandfather talk about it when I was a child. His grandfather used to pick wild vegetables to eat when he was a child."
Su He picked up a piece of alfalfa with her chopsticks and chewed it, revealing a hint of amazement. The savory flavor of the venison had completely infused into the broth, and the potatoes, which were almost dissolved from stewing, added a starchy texture. The chunks of venison were coated in the sticky broth, and every bite was pure bliss. With the addition of fresh green vegetables, this bowl of soup warmed her up from head to toe.
Xu Milu had originally intended to teach the two children some wilderness survival skills, and now she was even more open-minded, picking up some wild vegetables from the ground to show them to them:
"This is alfalfa, the tender stems and leaves of purple alfalfa. It usually has three leaves and purple flowers. Both the tender and old leaves are edible. This is pig's ear vegetable, which is round and looks a lot like a pig's ear. It can be used in salads or soups."
"...Where did you come from?"
Su He suddenly looked at her with a strange expression. Xu Milu looked over, but he quickly looked away.
"No, it's nothing."
The three were having dinner when they suddenly saw a string of lights flashing on the main road in the distance, like a convoy passing by. The road they were on was their campsite.
Su He's eyes flickered, and he immediately got up and packed everything into the RV. But he couldn't deal with the pot hanging on the fire. He thought for a moment, then turned around, grabbed a handful of wild vegetables, threw them in, added water, and cooked them into a green porridge that looked completely unappetizing.
"Squeak—"
The lead truck in the convoy stopped, and a dashing woman jumped out of the passenger seat. Her long clothes and trousers couldn't hide her good figure, and she had an electromagnetic weapon clipped to her waist.
Xu Milu slowly took a sip of the venison soup, waiting for the other party to speak first.
