Chapter 73 Dried Fish
The big-tailed yaks and jumping lambs like to eat grass. Qiao Xi cut the taro beads, washed the bitter candies, cut a large bundle of fresh alfalfa, and matched it with the newly sprouted sweet clover. He mixed them evenly and poured honey with a property that no elf could refuse. It was simple and quick. He put it aside after it was done and started with the next one.
The Digging Rat and the Digging Pig are both omnivorous monsters that eat everything, but there are some minor differences between them.
I added half a basin of yam to the basin for the digging pigs, mixed in taro beads and bitter candy, pinched a few wheat rice balls, poured honey on them to complete another portion.
The digging rats had to trouble the rock rat. There was a mountain of nuts and dried insects in its iron walnut. Josh exchanged fresh magic fruit with it and got a full bowl of it. It was made with nuts as the base, a bowl of bitter candy, a bowl of taro beads, and honey on top to make a honey nut bowl.
For the Kongyanshu, add half a cup of big-tailed yak milk on top of this. It is a mid-level magical beast, so it can eat more attribute food to replenish its energy.
Qiao Xi was not sure what the golden macaques liked, but since they were monkeys, they should eat more fruits. Qiao Xi poured the remaining bitter candies and taro beads into the pot, and added the pickled crispy lemon honey. This should be good.
As for the ladybugs, dung beetles and little bees, there is no need to bother preparing them. I have planted so many flowers, plants and saplings recently that the little bees and ladybugs can’t eat them all.
Not to mention the golden-armored dung beetles. If they were fed to other elves, wouldn't that be the same as giving them a snack?
I have to say that Josh still has some bad taste.
The last one was the Brown-headed Vulture’s. Qiao Xi was waiting for the Greater Sand Goose to bring her fish, so she left it to the end.
After knocking the lively dough fish unconscious, Josh cut the fish in half to make it easier for the brown-headed vulture to eat, cleaned the internal organs and the membrane inside the belly, sprinkled it with salt and honey and marinated it for a while.
The dough fish is a small monster with water attribute. Water energy constantly leaks out of the fish's body, causing the pickled fish to be a little wet.
When the fish was almost done marinating, Qiao Xi took it out with chopsticks and put it in the sun for a while.
The weather is good now and there is plenty of sunshine. It didn't take long for the water energy in the dough fish to be consumed. The surface felt dry and a little hard.
Okay, Josh put the dough fish on a small rack and slowly baked it, mainly to comfort the brown-headed crow, so Josh made its food extra delicately.
They were slowly smoked and roasted over low heat. Several small fish were roasted into light yellow dried fish. Josh tore off a little and tasted it, and his eyes lit up.
Although it was her first time making it and she knew it wouldn't be bad, she didn't expect it to be so delicious. The tender fish meat became more pliable after being stewed and roasted, and the flavors of honey and salt were completely integrated into the dried fish, which had a dry fragrance and a slightly sweet taste. It didn't taste salty at all, but it was still tasty.
It seems that the last bit of water energy is stimulated during chewing. I don't feel dry mouth at all, but feel moisturized after drinking water. Is it hot water? It should be the effect of honey.
But after eating that small half piece, I inexplicably felt a little full. No way, it seemed like she had made something amazing.
It is easy to store and tastes good. It can fill your stomach and replenish water at the same time. When the falcon comes to get the honey from next month in a few days, you can ask it to take some back and see if they are interested in buying the dough dried fish.
But since you want to relax today, don’t think about these troublesome things. Write them down first and deal with them in two days.
After putting away the dried fish of the brown-headed vulture, Josh went out to look for it.
I saw it rushing into the glimmering forest to vent its emotions. I wonder if it has come back now.
"Brown-headed vulture, brown-headed vulture, brown-brown~" Josh shouted a few times.
Fortunately, it seemed to have recovered its mood and flapped its wings to fly in front of Josh.
"Quack~" Josh, I'm sorry, I was so rude just now, I'm very sorry.
The Brown-headed Vulture lowered its head, feeling very guilty.
"It's okay, Brown, but can you tell me what the reason is? You have never been like this before. Do you know that sharp-eyed mountain eagle?" Josh reached out and hugged the Brown-headed Vulture.
It fell into a brief silence, as if it was organizing its words.
Josh didn't press it, "It's okay, you don't have to say it, come and eat something first, I promise you will like it."
Then they dragged out the portion of the jumping lamb and the big-tailed yak, yes, they dragged them out.
There were so many jumping lambs that even if Josh only prepared a small snack, more than twenty of them would be a lot.
Put the big-tailed yak's portion separately in the cowshed and let it eat first.
Josh called out loudly to the elves on the farm, "Come over and have your snack, otherwise there will be none left if you come too late."
They were all greedy little fellows. Before Qiao Xi had even finished his words, the jumping lambs and digging pigs came running over from all directions.
"Don't fight over them. Everyone has one. Come on, digging rats, this is yours. Little pigs, this is yours. Don't be so impatient, little sheep! Don't jump over my head!"
Well, the scene got out of control, the jumping lambs started playing like crazy, and the digging pigs, who were eating according to the rules, also went crazy.
Well, they started fighting. After getting familiar with each other, the gentle character of the big-tailed yak could no longer intimidate these stupid lambs. Now they ignored the warnings of the big-tailed yak and started to fight against the digging pigs.
"Quack~" The low voice of the Brown-headed Vulture was heard, and it grabbed the naughty jumping lamb and threw it down from mid-air. It controlled the scale, and the lambs were not seriously injured, but they were scared and trembling, and dared not make trouble anymore.
Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief. There were too many lambs, and they were naughty by nature. She usually didn't want to teach them a lesson, and now they were becoming more and more disobedient.
However, Josh noticed the Brown-headed Vulture's reluctance just now. It only had one leg and it had some difficulty in grabbing the lamb.
Normally, it deliberately hides itself so that no one would notice the inconvenience caused by its one leg. Josh never mentioned it for fear of hurting it.
It rarely played with other birds, and gradually Josh didn't care much about it anymore.
But how can you say that losing a leg has no effect at all? Claws and beaks are their weapons, and missing any of them will affect their fighting ability.
Qiao Xi felt a little uncomfortable, so he lowered his head and blinked to cover it up.
"Don't worry about them, Brown-headed Vulture. Come and eat yours. I have prepared something different for you." Josh raised his head and smiled at the Brown-headed Vulture.
The lambs were much more well-behaved. The burrowing pigs were not the type to cause trouble, so there was no need to keep an eye on them. Qiao Xi picked up the plate of dried fish, took out half a small fish and handed it to the brown-headed vulture.
"How is it?" Josh looked at it expectantly.
The Brown-headed Vulture was stunned for a second after eating the dough fish and then was visibly amazed by the deliciousness of the dried fish, and the whole bird became excited.
Reluctantly swallowing the piece of dried fish in its mouth, the Brown-headed Vulture flapped its wings and landed in front of Josh.
