Chapter 36: Beggar Mutant Chicken, Grilled Koi
Yao Tao pulled Bai Lin out of the office.
Only half of the pigeon leg bone was left in Bai Lin's mouth, sticking out from the corner of his mouth, swaying up and down as he chewed.
Wang Zhi quickly calmed down.
The other party is obviously not someone to be trifled with, so it’s better not to talk to him casually.
While Wang Zhi was distracted, Yao Tao took out some supplies from the space and pretended that they were collected.
Several shopping bags contained cartons of cigarettes and bottles of liquor.
It is not surprising that there are cigarettes and alcohol in the office building where there are trading companies.
These things are of no use to Yao Tao, but they are rare good things for most men.
At the resettlement site, a cigarette can be exchanged for a day's food rations.
It is often priceless, and even if you want to exchange it, others may not be willing to do so with you.
When the three of them returned to the gathering point, the supplies Yao Tao brought back suddenly became a hot commodity.
Everyone didn't care about being hungry anymore. They stared at the cigarettes in the bag and begged Wang Zhi with a grin.
"Boss, can you share some cigarettes with everyone?"
"One will do."
In order to boost morale, Wang Zhi pretended to be generous and gave a cigarette to everyone.
"Who is this boss?" Someone noticed that there was a tall and thin boy following Yao Tao.
"This is my friend. I met him by chance while searching for supplies. I guess everyone must be hungry. I'll cook for him and let him eat before going back." Yao Tao explained briefly without caring whether others were happy or not.
Anyway, she has tried her best. If anyone dares to try, he will die.
With one more mouth to feed suddenly, the team members naturally wouldn't be happy.
However, Yao Tao's cooking skills are obvious to everyone, and she always takes out her own supplies to share with everyone, so everyone is not so averse to Bai Lin's free meals.
"It's just one more mouth to feed. Yao Tao's friends are our friends. Kids, eat more later." A team member joked with Bai Lin.
Yao Tao was extremely nervous.
She muttered to herself: Boss, please take it easy, don't cut people in half if you disagree with me.
Wang Zhi counted the number of people.
Every team member returned, and two were seriously injured in the battle with the mutant animals, but neither was in life-threatening condition.
But they couldn't carry the heavy things on the way back.
Others just need to share more of the burden.
Unfortunately, there were no cooking utensils among the collected supplies, so it seemed they would have to make do with grilled food at night when they returned to the settlement.
Thinking of Ding Yuluo burning the pot early in the morning, Wang Zhi felt very unhappy.
Ding Yuluo is too ignorant.
"The third team hunted two mutant chickens and three mutant pigeons." Wang Zhi handed the ingredients to Yao Tao, "See what you can make without a pot."
Yao Tao thought for a moment, "I remember there was a landscaped pond nearby with lotus leaves and koi in it. Can anyone help me pick a few lotus leaves? If you're capable, catch a few mutant fish too..."
"I'll go." Bai Lin responded without waiting for other team members to speak.
"Okay, if you want, just bring back a few more mutant fish and I'll grill them for you." Yao Tao was completely relieved if Bai Lin went.
Bai Lin left alone, and the other team members were a little worried.
"That kid went alone, is he okay?"
"Sister Yao Tao, won't his body be completely eaten by the mutant fish?"
Yao Tao smiled calmly, "Don't worry, he can protect himself."
Only Wang Zhi remained silent.
What else can he say?
Tell his men that he was almost cut in half by this young man?
The most terrifying thing is that he still doesn't know what the other party used to split the wall and door.
He kept thinking about that scene.
The boy's hands were empty, without any weapon.
He couldn't tell what emotions the boy had on his face.
He has been following Yao Tao since he came back, quietly and without much talk.
He could feel that Yao Tao cared a lot about this young man.
What is their relationship?
While Wang Zhi was daydreaming, Yao Tao took the food and went to a place with water to slaughter and process it.
Too many people, too little meat.
If we continue to eat according to the mutant animal's way of eating, I'm afraid we won't be able to get much meat from these two chickens.
Yao Tao simply put the two chickens into the space and took them out after purifying them.
This way the whole chicken can be eaten.
Just as the chicken was cleaned, Bai Lin came back.
In his hand were five fresh mutant koi wrapped in large lotus leaves, each weighing six or seven pounds.
Yao Tao put the fish into the space again for purification.
Bai Lin saw her do this and didn't react at all, as if it was a very normal thing.
Yao Tao was very emotional.
She thought that no one in this life knew her secret, but in front of the big boss, her secret was nothing.
"Sister Yao Tao, aren't you done yet? We're starving to death." Team members shouted from a distance.
"What do you mean by starving? I think you are almost dying of greed." The companion joked.
"Come and help." Yao Tao held a mutant chicken with its feathers and internal organs removed in one hand.
Bai Lin obediently helped her carry the three processed mutant pigeons.
Several people came over and helped Yao Tao bring back the cleaned mutant koi and lotus leaves.
"Wow, little brother, you're amazing! You caught so many fish!"
"Hey, why is the meat on this koi the same as that on ordinary carp?" Someone discovered the problem.
"This mutant chicken too, oh my god, the whole meat is good! Ahhhh, boss, come and see!"
After hearing this shout, everyone came over and reached out to poke the two white-striped chickens.
"Really? All meat is good."
"Is there such a thing? Why haven't we been so lucky before? Where did you catch these two mutant chickens?"
"Damn, the meat of these three mutant pigeons is also good. Hahaha, our luck is too good."
Everyone was talking at once, and Yao Tao waved them away: "Don't touch the food with your dirty hands. Go find me some firewood to start the fire."
Everyone was smiling and no one got angry even when Yao Tao scolded them.
As long as there is enough meat for everyone to share, everyone can have their fill and they will be happy even if they are scolded by a beautiful woman.
It was easy to find firewood to make a fire, and the fire was lit in no time.
Yao Tao did not take the ingredients from the space this time.
Purifying the mutant meat was already outrageous, so it would be bad to attract their attention with ingredients.
She simply sprinkled some salt on the meat and then wrapped the whole chicken and pigeon in large lotus leaves.
If there are no lotus leaves, lily pads can be used as a makeshift. No one eats lily pads anyway, so it’s okay even if they are mutated leaves.
After wrapping them, Yao Tao wrapped some soil on the outside to make them sticky.
Put them among the burning coals and pile firewood on top.
"Let's grill the fish and sprinkle some salt on it." Yao Tao asked someone to find some wooden sticks, removed the skin and thorns, and pierced the fish with them.
The mutant koi was too big to be roasted whole, so Yao Tao used a knife to cut it into small pieces.
Thin slices of fish meat are skewered on wooden sticks, appearing translucent.
After being roasted over fire, the fish meat sizzles, curls slightly, and is filled with fragrance.
Sprinkle some salt on it when it is 80% cooked.
Everyone gathered around the fire, staring intently at the grilled fish.
After Yao Tao baked one, she gave it to Bai Lin first.
Wang Zhi's face froze for a moment.
He originally thought Yao Tao would give it to him first.
After all, he is the team leader, and that boy is just her friend.
He believed that Yao Tao should be able to tell what was more important.
But Yao Tao did not give him the second skewer of fish she had grilled.
Wang Zhi: “…”
The undercover agent assigned by Chen Qiang to Wang Zhi's team noticed that the boss looked unhappy, so he quickly handed over his own string of noodles and whispered to Wang Zhi, "Sister Yao Tao is really something. She let her friend come to eat with us just for your sake, but she is so ignorant that she only cares about that kid. She doesn't even have you, the boss, in her eyes."
