After the catastrophe, there were not enough tools and seasonings, so cooking was not as meticulous as before, and it was not completely according to the recipe.

Xia Lunong poured half of the mountain spring water brought by his brother and Yan Xinian into the pot, put the chicken in cold water, put in ginger and scallions, boiled it over high heat, skimmed off the floating residue, removed the scallions and ginger, and then cooked the chicken and took it out.

Washed carrots were put into the golden chicken soup and continued to boil. Take

out the chicken, tear it into pieces and put it on the leaves that served as a plate, and fry the chili and garlic after the chicken soup is done.

Xia Lunong hummed a song while boiling the soup.

Liao Cheng, who was burning the fire below, listened to him singing, and his head swayed.

Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu cut the ingredients, and both of them were immersed in Xia Lunong's singing. The atmosphere was very warm for a while.

The chicken and carrot soup was ready. The golden soup and tender carrots were poured out from a bamboo tube and sipped. It was very sweet, and the carrots were especially delicious.

Such soup only needs a little salt.

A little bit of salt can better highlight the sweetness of carrots.

There were no extra utensils to serve the soup. The three of them sat by the pot, served the soup in bamboo tubes, and drank the carrot chicken soup mouthful by mouthful while it was hot.

The hot soup was swallowed down the esophagus little by little and fell steadily into the stomach.

The heat took away the coolness brought by the evening breeze, and the shadows of the trees in the twilight seemed to be warm and bright.

As Liao Cheng drank, he swallowed the soup, and it seemed that tears brewed, forcing his eyes to boil.

He tilted his head and looked at the sky with the sunset glow. He cursed his mother in his heart, but he couldn't suppress the sourness in his heart.

He could only sniff and look at the corner of the sky stubbornly, as if the sparse and ordinary sky had turned into a masterpiece of the world, which was worth appreciating inch by inch.

None of the four said anything, they just sat around the pot and looked at the sky approaching night.

Xia Lunong saw from the corner of his eye that Yan Xinian stretched his legs to his brother's side at some point, and the two of them were still legs touching in such a large area.

After finishing four bottles of soup, Xia Lunong scooped out the last one and put it aside. Xia Lunong slid the chicken oil into the pot, fried the chicken oil, added garlic, ginger, and chili, and then added soy sauce and vinegar. When it started to bubble, she scooped it out immediately and poured it on the cooled chicken, mixing them together while they were still hot.

A large plate of chopped chives had been prepared, and the egg liquid was also mixed in. Xia Lunong washed the pot again, boiled off the water, heated the pot and added oil, poured the egg liquid in, and immediately the fragrance rose.

Xia Lunong lowered her eyes, picked up a part of the fried egg and gently turned it. The excess egg liquid slid into the hot oil and solidified instantly. With one pinch, she had a whole egg pancake.

Liao Cheng took out the wood from the stove and continued to fry the eggs with the remaining charcoal.

After the egg liquid solidified, Xia Lunong picked up the fried egg lightly, turned it over and continued frying. The flipped side was already fried to a golden brown.

Liao Cheng sniffed, "It smells so good."

Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu also sniffed. Neither of them said anything, but it was not difficult to see their mental activities from their expressions.

It smells so good!

The four of them sat on the ground around the pot, holding a bamboo tube in one hand and chopsticks in the other.

Xia Lunong sipped a mouthful of warm carrot chicken soup and reached out to pick up a chopstick of fried leek eggs.

The fried leek eggs were still hot, the egg liquid was fried dry, and the leek inside was fresh and juicy. The soft fried egg was bitten in the mouth, and the aroma of the fried egg and the aroma of the leek were intertwined, which was very fragrant.

Xia Lunong crooked his eyes, chewed quickly and picked up a piece.

After eating several pieces of fried eggs, he turned his chopsticks to hand-shredded chicken.

Hand-shredded chicken has a completely different flavor from fried chicken and fried meat. The boiled shredded chicken is dipped in chili oil with soy sauce and vinegar. It is fresh, fragrant and spicy, which awakens the whole taste buds.

The chicken is relatively dry, but the more you chew it, the more fragrant it becomes. After chewing the chicken, take a sip of soup. It is simply perfect.

Xia Lunong sighed comfortably. It would be nice if there was wine. Hand-shredded chicken and wine should be a good match.

He couldn't change into a beast, and his appetite was much smaller. He couldn't eat after a while. He held the bamboo tube and drank a sip of soup from time to time.

His brother continued to eat without looking up.

After a full meal, Liao Cheng bowed to Xia Lunong, "God of Cooking."

Xia Lunong bowed back with her eyes lowered, "You are so polite."

The four of them laughed.

Xia Huoqu stood up and stretched his arms and legs, "I haven't been here for a long time. I didn't expect there are so many prey here. I'll come and have a look next time."

"Do you mean there are a lot of chickens?"

"There are a lot of chickens. We also found traces of ducks and pigs. If the pigs are from before the disaster, they probably haven't completely degenerated yet."

Liao Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Have the pigs from before the disaster been humiliated? Have they mutated drastically?"

"I didn't see anything, but I found pig hoof prints. The prints look pretty big. I wonder if I can meet them."

Xia Lunong looked at his brother with confusion in her eyes.

Xia Huo said, "The pigs that have been robbed have less smell, and the meat is more tender. They are bigger and fatter, and taste better than wild boars. They are very popular."

Liao Cheng said, "The stir-fried pork we ate last time came from robbed boars before the disaster. Wild boar meat is bigger, rougher and more smelly. It's slow-cooked with heavy ingredients, and you'll know when you try it once."

Xia Lunong had never eaten wild boar before, so she nodded when she heard it.

Liao Cheng was eager to try, "Why don't I go there at night? I have a good nose, maybe I can find the pig."

Yan Xinian glanced at him, "Huo Qu has a good nose too. You and Xiao Nong stay here, we'll go out for a walk and be back soon."

Liao Cheng urged, "Take Xiao Nong with you."

Xia Huo Qu refused, "I'm running at high speed, Xiao Nong may not be able to catch me. There are many branches in the forest, and he will be easily injured on my back. Otherwise, you and Xinian go hunting. , shall we two brothers stay at the base?"

Liao Cheng waved his hand quickly, "Forget it, I'm not strong enough, you guys go."

Yan Xinian: "Our purpose of coming out this time is not to hunt wild boars. If Xiao Nong is interested, we can just walk slowly, it won't be a problem."

Liao Cheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Yes, if we find traces of wild boars, Captain Yan and I will chase them, and you guys can just follow slowly."

Xia Lunong also looked at his brother expectantly.

With a vote of three to one, Xia Huoqu had no choice but to agree.

The three of them packed up their things and prepared to move.
