Chapter 12 Feast



So he quickly went to the regional channel to buy a baby bottle, but unexpectedly he was teased for having a baby in the apocalypse.

Lin Hu ignored what others were saying, since he already had the baby bottle.

Then I filled the bottle with some goat milk and tried to put the nipple of the bottle to the puppy's mouth.

Perhaps she was really hungry, because as soon as she smelled the milk, she immediately let go of Duan Linzhou's sleeve, hugged the milk bottle that was almost the same size as herself, and fell onto the bed to drink it while whimpering.

"The little one is quite cute." Lin Hu reached out and touched the bulging belly.

"Looks like the drying box we just opened was prepared for him," Duan Linzhou joked with a smile, patting the dog as he did so.

The puppy seemed to have gotten tired of drinking and fell asleep, but its mouth was still unconsciously pursing.

Lin Hu placed the half-empty bottle on the bedside table, hugged the puppy in his arms, and lay down in bed.

At night, Lin Hu asked 1097 to keep an eye on the puppy and wake him up if he was about to wet the bed.

The puppy slept soundly without any dreams, and didn't wake up during the night either.

When Lin Hu woke up, she was lying in Duan Linzhou's arms, with a little puppy in her own arms.

Lin Hu looked up at Duan Linzhou, who still had his eyes closed, and then at the puppy in his arms. The two of them were staring at each other when the puppy suddenly opened its mouth to bark. Lin Hu quickly pinched its mouth shut.

"Shh~"

Lin Hu picked up the puppy and went to the living room. He placed the puppy on the coffee table, laid cotton on a bamboo fruit plate, and let it lie down on it.

Lin Hu went out to get him some fresh, warm goat milk.

When Lin Hu left, Duan Linzhou also woke up. He reached out and felt that the spot next to him was still warm, so he got up and walked out of the room.

The puppy lying obediently in the fruit bowl in the living room looked up at the source of the sound and met Duan Linzhou's gaze.

So he started whimpering and crawling out of the fruit plate, but his legs were a bit short, and he tumbled right out.

It must have hurt itself from the fall, because it started whimpering and crying out again, each cry louder than the last.

When Lin Hu heard the noise as he was almost at the door, he ran straight in and saw Duan Linzhou picking up the puppy that had fallen on the coffee table.

"What's wrong?" Lin Hu asked as he approached.

"It's okay, he just fell and will be fine after a while." Duan Linzhou took the bottle from Lin Hu and handed it to the puppy's mouth. The puppy immediately reached out and hugged the bottle, whimpering as it drank. The sound gradually faded as it drank, until only a few whimpers remained.

It seems this can be considered a miraculous recovery.

Finally, they put the puppy back in the fruit bowl and laid out small cotton pillows around it before they could talk.

"This is the map we created earlier. I'd like to stay on this island for a few days. During the day, we can explore for resources and get some exercise. What do you think?" Lin Hu showed Duan Linzhou the map they had created earlier.

“I think it’s a good idea. Once your abilities are upgraded, there’s no difference between you and a beginner if you don’t practice. We can also try staying on the island for one night, as a practice session for our landing in a few days,” Duan Linzhou also offered his opinion at the right time.

Duan Linzhou had no problem, and Lin Hu had no problem either, so the two of them started preparing the food.

Lin Hu originally only planned to cook four dishes, but now that there's a little puppy, he asked Duan Linzhou to kill a pig and prepare some dried meat as a reserve food for the puppy.

Looking at the fat pig's head, he suddenly thought of braised food. He had a lot of braised food spice packets, so why not go all out today?

Without further ado, they removed the eyes from the pig's head and washed it clean. Some people do eat eyes, but they find it disgusting and won't eat them, nor will the people around them be allowed to.

Afterwards, singe off the hair from the pig's head with fire, clean it thoroughly, cut off the ears, split the pig's head in half, and clean the pig's tail. Put them all into a pot, add ginger and cooking wine, blanch them to remove the fishy smell, and then take them out.

Next, add oil to the pot. Once the oil is hot, add some white sugar that you bought on the trading platform. Stir-fry until the sugar caramelizes, then add water and put the pig's head into the pot. Add oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, and braising spices to the pot, then cover and wait.

Just 20 minutes later, the aroma filled the house and outside the raft, making the two people and the dog very hungry. However, it would still need to cook for another half hour.

The two could only sit together outside to prepare the food. Fearing that Boss Zhou might wander off, Lin Hu brought the dog and its plate out and placed it on the table outside.

The two talked from time to time, and from time to time boasted to the person they were chatting with about today's feast.

A few days ago, Lin Hu added Duan Linzhou's parents as friends, and now he's bragging to them and Cheng Yuan about what he's going to eat next.

Duan Linzhou's parents also enjoy cooking. Lin Hu hadn't started cooking yet, but he had only mentioned pork to them. They then directly taught Lin Hu his various ways of cooking pork.

Lin Hu was very interested in the braised pork that Duan's father mentioned. Everyone's method of making braised pork is similar, but each person's version will have a slight difference.

After Lin Hu said she was going to cook, she deliberately revealed that the portion was very small, making it seem like there wasn't enough for them, which immediately made everyone else extremely envious of Duan Linzhou.

Actually, that braised pig's head alone, with rice, would have been enough for the dozen or so of them, but Lin Hu just wanted to fool them, and then come out and say it was all a lie when he succeeded.

Half an hour later, Lin Hu turned off the fire, took the pot outside, then went back to get a new pot to prepare other dishes.

First, I made braised pork belly. I singed off the hair, washed it, and blanched it. Then, I added oil to the pot and waited for the oil to heat up before caramelizing the sugar. I added the braised pork belly and stir-fried it. Finally, I added ginger, garlic, and chili peppers and stir-fried them together. I poured in the prepared sauce, added water, covered the pot, and simmered it for 30 minutes.
