Chapter 145 Grilled Rat Meat
Chu Qiao cut out a piece of meat and was about to put it into his mouth.
Lu Zhan coughed heavily and said stubbornly, "There is a virus."
Chu Qiao shook his head helplessly: "Doctor Lu, being stubborn will only make you die faster here."
Lu Zhan took a deep breath, as if he was holding back a huge amount of courage, and said, "Make a fire and roast it."
Chu Qiao raised the corners of his mouth, the lines between his eyebrows spread out, and he smiled: "Finally I got it."
Chu Qiao skillfully picked up some dry leaves and started a fire in less than 20 minutes.
When she got up from the fire, she saw Lu Zhan actually cutting rat meat. He was removing the bones skillfully. In just three or two minutes, he had removed all the bones, big and small, from the rat and put them aside.
Chu Qiao was stunned. How could this person have two different faces in front of others and behind their backs?
"Aren't you afraid of mice?"
Lu Zhan finished his work perfectly, threw the stone knife on the stone, picked a few large leaves from the tree in disgust, and wiped his hands with them.
"Who said I'm afraid of mice?"
Lu Zhan glared at me with his phoenix eyes: "Don't play with my profession. I'm not afraid of human corpses, so how can I be afraid of mice? What I'm afraid of is the virus."
Chu Qiao picked up a piece of meat as thin as a cicada's wing, grinned, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Good knife skills."
Lu Zhan wrapped the cut meat in a leaf and said calmly, "Dissecting mice, rabbits, and frogs are all compulsory courses for us. Not only do we have to dissect them, we also have to sew them up."
The corner of Chu Qiao's mouth twitched.
At 8 o'clock sharp, the drone automatically took off, and netizens saw two people gathered around the fire, arguing and discussing fiercely.
Chu Qiao: "I still prefer chipmunk, which retains the tenderness of the meat."
Lu Zhan: "I think it's better to grill it. It's simple."
Chu Qiao: "We need moisture now. Barbecue doesn't have moisture."
Lu Zhan: "It's easier to preserve if roasted. We can't eat it all at once, so we have to be prepared."
"Wait, give me some time, did I enter the wrong live broadcast room?"
"Master Chu, are you and Dr. Lu doing a food show?"
"What kind of meat is this?"
"It looks pink and tender."
"I want to eat too."
Lu Zhan picked up a piece and placed it in front of the camera: "Rat meat, your Master Chu caught it himself today."
Netizens’ reaction was not as big as Lu Zhan had imagined. Everyone had become accustomed to Chu Qiao’s habit of eating everything.
"Caught by Master Chu? That's normal."
"Master Chu has eliminated the evil for the Africans."
Lu Zhan looked at Chu Qiao again. She was already coating the meat with dirt. Lu Zhan scratched his head and said honestly, "Barbecuing meat directly contacts the flames, which increases the temperature and can kill more types of viruses."
Chu Qiao stopped what he was doing.
She walked to the side with a knife, cut fresh paper strips with a diameter of half a centimeter from a tree, cut them into 30 centimeters long, and strung the chopped rat meat on them little by little.
Seeing Chu Qiao compromise, Lu Zhan took advantage of her not regretting it and quickly inserted four tree branches into the soil nearby and placed two thick branches on top of them.
The meat skewers were placed on top.
The pink meat was roasted by the flames, shrinking little by little and turning red. The fat in the meat was forced out and dripped into the fire, making a "hissing" sound, and the flames rose higher.
Chu Qiao looked at the 1cm square of rat meat with distress, which had shrunk to the size of soybeans. She clamped the bones that Lu Zhan had removed on a tree branch and roasted them together.
Lu Zhan didn't say anything.
The rat meat slowly emits the aroma of barbecue under the grill.
Chu Qiao took a deep breath of the fragrance, saliva secreting from his mouth.
She picked up a piece of rat meat and spoke to the camera, "This is South Africa, unlike any other place we've been. Various epidemics are rampant here. Although Dr. Lu has a lot to consider, he's not exaggerating. In fact, regardless of whether we're in Africa or not, we should try to avoid contact with super carriers of this virus, such as rats and bats."
After Chu Qiao finished speaking, he put the meat into his mouth, squinted his eyes, and looked very enjoyable.
"Master Chu, do you think what you just said is convincing?"
"Exactly. I just finished talking about the virus and I started eating so happily."
"Mr. Chu's point is, I can eat it, but you can't."
Chu Qiao smiled and said, "That's not what I meant. If anyone of you wants to eat some, I'll catch and grill them for you when I get back."
"Uh, that's not necessary, Master Chu."
"I saw that Dr. Lu's brows were furrowed into pimples."
Chu Qiao turned around and saw that although Lu Zhan had no expression on his face, his emotions were revealed between his brows which had not yet been relaxed.
"Doctor Lu, I agree with your idea, so why do you look like that?"
"No, that's quite right."
Chu Qiao smiled and was about to take the dripping bone, but Lu Zhan slapped her hand away and picked up the roasted crispy bone himself: "This one is the most fragrant."
The two of them wasted no time and finished their meal quickly, leaving behind a dozen pieces of meat as reserves.
Chu Qiao looked up at the sky. There was just a hint of red on the horizon, but now it has gradually spread out, turning half of the sky in the east red.
Chu Qiao faced west, with the sun at his back, and felt a slight warmth behind him. The shadows of the two people were stretched out very long in the deep and shallow grass.
Although the sun had just risen, the temperature in Africa was above 40 degrees Celsius all day long, which made Chu Qiao feel overwhelmed. It had been nearly 18 hours since they got off the car yesterday. They had not consumed any water, but their bodies were constantly sweating and the water content in their bodies was getting less and less.
Neither of them mentioned feeling unwell, and they walked westward with determination.
The drone always flies on the Chuqiao side like a loyal guard.
Every time Lu Zhan appears on camera, he can only show half of his head or arms, and rarely shows his whole body, which is in line with Lu Zhan's wishes.
Chu Qiao was walking when he suddenly squatted down.
Lu Zhan stopped as well.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone in the barrage was full of questions.
"What's going on?"
"Is there any danger?"
Chu Qiao shook his head and pointed at his shoes.
Lu Zhan walked in, followed Chu Qiao's gaze, saw her fingers, and said bluntly, "Your hands are not very clean."
Chu Qiao glared at him and said, "Doctor Lu, please pay attention to the direction of your finger."
Lu Zhan looked over and saw a water stain on Chu Qiao's shoes.
Lu Zhan Zhuantou looked at the surrounding grass and saw drops of dew on the surrounding grass. Under the refraction of the sunlight, the dew emitted a crystal clear light.
Lu Zhan looked at Chu Qiao, and both of them saw the joy in each other's eyes.
Lu Zhan immediately took out the water bottle from Chu Qiao's bag, while Chu Qiao couldn't wait to take off his coat.
The morning dew doesn't last long before it's dried up by the scorching African sun.
"I'm just asking timidly, Doctor Lu, please get the kettle. I understand."
"Why is Mr. Chu taking off his clothes?"
"Don't ask. I'm just asking to show off my figure."
Chu Qiao couldn't help laughing at everyone's jokes. "What do you mean by showing off my figure? That's not the case. The dew will evaporate soon. Doctor Lu is responsible for collecting each drop into the kettle for future use. As for me, this method is more crude. I just use my clothes to absorb the moisture directly from the dew."
