The pet I raised comes from the second dimension.

Slowly unfolding the wrapper, a whole hamburger came into Doro's view, emitting a slightly fishy and sour smell.

The fishy smell came from the cooled fried fish fillets;

The sour taste comes from the tomato sauce.

The space inside Donas's tail has no concept of time, which can ensure that food does not spoil for a long time, but cannot maintain the temperature of the food itself.

The freshly made hamburger patties are piping hot and have the best time to be enjoyed within one hour; after that, the taste will be greatly diminished.

right now,

The hamburger in front of Doraemon had been prepared for several days.

Even the bread dough looked like a deflated balloon.

If a Doro were to buy a burger of this quality at a fast food restaurant, they would definitely complain to the server, argue, and demand a refund or a perfect burger as compensation.

As for this moment, being in the wild with no food and extremely hungry, what other demands could one have?

Doraemon's eyes shone brightly.
He took a big bite of the hamburger.

It swallowed nearly a quarter of it.

"fragrant!"

"Really tasty……"

Focusing intently on chewing the hamburger, the wheaty aroma of the bun mingled with the greasy, fishy smell of the cold fish fillet, and Doro hesitated to swallow.

Our companions have a limited supply of food, and every bite we eat reduces our supply, so we must cherish every single bite.

Chewing slowly and thoroughly can prolong the enjoyment of eating!
Doraemon is not smart.
The only solution it could think of was to eat slowly.

And you even have to leave half a hamburger for someone else (Huang Musong) to eat!
While chewing slowly, Doro gazed into the dark depths of the forest, hoping that he and Alvin would return soon.

Pina was so hungry that she suddenly stopped feeling hungry, and her stomach stopped growling.

Only...

Feeling a little dizzy?

Perhaps I'm just too tired. A good night's sleep will help me recover.

Pina yawned wearily and closed her eyes, trying to fall asleep.

I haven't eaten my burger yet.
Pina planned to save it for breakfast tomorrow morning.
It's always better to go hungry all night than to go hungry all morning.

Pina's understanding of delayed gratification demonstrates her greater maturity compared to the Doro members.

On the other hand, Donas didn't care whether she would go hungry tomorrow; she just couldn't skimp on herself tonight.

With her mouth wide open, Donas aimed at the hamburger, looking as if she was about to swallow it whole.

But before it could even bite into the hamburger,
Dorothy, sitting next to her, swiftly snatched the food from his mouth!
Dorothy snatches Donas's hamburger, then points her finger at Donas with a "forbidden" gesture to calm her down.

"Wait a minute."

"Don't eat yet, everyone. I have a way to make dinner more nutritious!" Dorothy blinked, her pupils sparkling with wisdom, and winked at the weeping willows by the river.

Willow buds are edible; although they don't provide much nutrition, they can at least fill your stomach.

When I traveled to the world of Honor of Kings,
Dorothy had witnessed how famine-stricken people had eaten every last blade of grass.
The tender buds of willow trees were not spared either.

Now that we're facing a food shortage, it's time to eat some willow buds as a temporary solution.

Doro had witnessed the hunger of disaster victims and had extensive experience with hunger, so it knew better how to plan every portion of food.

Following Dorothy's suggestion, Dorothy murmured, "How about we shred the hamburgers and cook them into a porridge? We can put willow buds in the porridge and dig up some grass roots to cook in; it'll be very nutritious."

Worried that his companions wouldn't be able to get used to this near-culinary disaster, Doro raised a smiling face and gestured, trying his best to make the porridge sound delicious.

After listening to Dorothy and Doraemon's ideas,
Pina vaguely recalled something.
That was during my time wandering alone in Bincheng.

"Legend has it that Zhu Yuanzhang once suffered a military defeat and fell into distress. He caught a cold and hid in a dilapidated temple for the night. Two beggars fed him a large bowl of rotten vegetable porridge. The beggars named the rotten vegetable porridge 'Pearl, Jade and White Jade Soup'."

Along the streets of Bincheng, elderly people often carry radios while strolling, and the radios play crosstalk or storytelling.

Pina had heard the story of "Pearl, Jade, and White Jade Soup".

Isn't that bowl of pearl, jade, and white jade soup in the story just the mixed porridge that the Doro guys suggested?

Since rotten vegetable soup can save lives,
Surely the mixed porridge will help us persevere until we leave the deep mountains and forests!

Upon realizing this, Pina immediately took action, carrying an iron pot to the riverbank to fetch water.

The more water, the better!
Pina ladled out almost a whole pot of water.
The idea was that more water could make more porridge.

Pina understood that the amount of water didn't change the total nutritional value of the food cooked into a porridge, but more water could at least fill her stomach, and even just drinking water to fill her stomach was better than being hungry.

Pina hung the iron pot back over the campfire, sat down again, and shook her head to relieve the dizziness.

I have slightly low blood sugar...

Is it so difficult to even carry a pot of water?

Too tired, Pina didn't want to move anymore, so she lowered her head and waited for the water to boil so she could cook porridge.

Doro knew that Pina was starving.

It wanted to offer some comfort, but considered that talking would take up time and prolong the cooking time of the porridge, resulting in Pina getting to eat even later.

So, Doraemon silently sped up his work, breaking the hamburger into pieces and throwing them into the iron pot.

"Cook it until it's very soft and mushy for easier absorption."

"Mr. Metagross, please help me pick the tender willow buds, the lightest and freshest ones!"

"Hmm... Donas, do you still have any food left? Don't take it all out at once, we need to eat tomorrow too."

Doro endured his hunger, chattering as he stirred the floating hamburger chunks in the pot with a small stick, trying to make his version of Pearl Jade White Jade Soup delicious enough.

Sitting by the campfire, inhaling the aroma of the mixed porridge, Donas's mouth watered, wishing she could eat to her heart's content the next moment.

Big eyes wide open,
Donas clung to Doraemon, watching the oil sizzle in the pot of water and observing how the four broken hamburgers gradually turned into a paste.

After picking the willow buds, the Megalodon sprinkled them all into the pot, adding a touch of fragrance to the mixed porridge.

at the same time
Huang Musong and Alwen returned from their successful hunt.

All I saw was:

Huang Musong carried a bag of minced meat in his left hand and held three bird eggs in his right.

Alwen clutched a handful of wild vegetables in her left hand and dragged the newly made raft with her right.

The spoils were meager, but it was still a gain, much better than returning empty-handed.

One bag of minced meat is cleaned bamboo rat meat.

Bamboo rats are edible, rich in protein, and their farming price is even higher than that of beef!
It's really lucky to catch a bamboo rat.

To avoid the bloody scene of killing bamboo rats from frightening the doro, Huang Musong specially processed the bamboo rat meat before returning. Along the way, he happened to find a bird's nest and took out three bird eggs.

Bamboo rats and bird eggs are about to become food for the doro.
Huang Musong apologized to the bamboo rats and the unborn birds.

May they rest in peace...

Alvin harvested little food because her task was to build a raft in preparation for drifting down the river the next day.

The upstream water volume is too low to support the raft.

The downstream water volume is large, so taking a raft can save you the effort of walking.

Unfortunately, no bamboo shoots grew in the nearby bamboo grove, otherwise we would have had our main dish for tonight.

As Dorothy saw the figures of the two people gradually becoming clearer from the depths of the woods, she couldn't help but feel excited, hoping that the two would walk faster.

"people!"

"We're here! Come on over and have some porridge!" Dorothy called out, waving to Huang Musong who was getting closer, her eyes fixed on the bird eggs, chunks of meat, and wild vegetables.

People are really amazing!

There's more to eat for dinner tonight!
Realizing she wouldn't have to go hungry anymore, Dorothy couldn't stop laughing, her lips curving upwards to their widest extent, overjoyed.

Doraemon was also very happy.

Actually, it didn't feel that the current hunger was particularly unbearable.
After all, this level of hunger is incomparable to when I was homeless.

Moreover, since being adopted, she has been able to eat her fill at every meal.

Strong body

Feeling a little hungry after a day can actually make you feel lighter!
While continuing to stir the mixed porridge, Doro took out two bags of pickled vegetables from the side pocket of his backpack, tore open the packaging, and added them all to the large iron pot.

Pickled mustard tuber is not a regular food; its function is to provide salt and maintain physical health.

Doro has not yet been exposed to dietetics.

Its cooking philosophy relies entirely on one trick {I think}: adding salty ingredients to food can make the food taste more vibrant!
This is how Doraemon currently understands it.

While Doro was cooking dinner, Huang Musong quickened his pace and walked out of the woods to the four little ones. He shook the bag and showed off the spoils inside.

"We're having meat tonight!"

"It's local sheep, the meat is delicious, I ate it when I was a child."

"There's not much meat, so let's divide it equally and have it to tide us over." Huang Musong untied the plastic bag and gestured for Duoluo to move away from the campfire, leaving the rest of the cooking to him.

Doro obediently gave a soft "hmm" and retreated to the outside of the small tent to avoid being hit by sparks.

Actually, as a small animal, Doraemon is very afraid of fire.

The flames on the kitchen stove are safe enough, so Doraemon isn't afraid; the stove fire won't burn his fur.

But a campfire is different!
Doro wouldn't have dared to approach the campfire if it weren't for wanting his companions to eat the mixed porridge as soon as possible. Claiming to be King Doro, he felt obligated to take responsibility, so he stepped forward to cook the porridge.

right now,

A person (Huang Musong) took over cooking dinner.
Doraemon waited quietly and obediently.

Compared to Dorothy's absolute trust in Huang Musong, Dorothy and Pina also did not express any doubts, while Donas scrutinized him with the eyes of a police officer examining a thief.

With her hands on her hips, Donas looked up and stared intently into Huang Musong's eyes, certain that he was lying.

What animal is called the "earth sheep"?
Do you really think Marshal Doro is so easily fooled?
Do you think I don't know what a bamboo rat is?
Donas pondered silently, only moving her mouth without uttering a sound, demanding justice from Huang Musong on behalf of the already dead bamboo rat.

The reason she moved her mouth but didn't speak was that Donas understood that people didn't intend to kill bamboo rats maliciously.

It's the same principle as Pina catching and killing fish.

To fill their stomachs,

Some poor little guy has to make a sacrifice!
Donas approves of human behavior; seeking justice is so that the bamboo rat can rest in peace and be reborn into a better life.

Oh……

I'd even be willing to be reborn as a bamboo rat!

My friend, your meat smells delicious; no wonder it's called "earth sheep."

Donas pondered for a moment,
By the time it came to its senses, it was almost time to eat.
A layer of white foam floated on the surface of the whole pot of mixed soup.

When stewing meat, foam will rise to the surface. The correct procedure is to blanch the meat first before cooking to remove the gamey smell.

Due to limited conditions in the wild, Huang Musong stewed bamboo rat meat directly, trying to get the little guys to eat dinner as soon as possible.

First, serve Doraemon a bowl of sticky, mushy minced meat that's like soup or porridge.

Huang Musong deliberately blew on the surface of the soup and porridge to cool it down.
Avoid burning your mouth with hot saliva.

Enjoying the care from others, Doro smiled and shook her head, immersed in the happiness of the moment.

It's really tough to be out in the wild with nothing to eat.

But we're still together!

Nobody is missing anything, nobody is injured, but everyone is extremely hungry.

Our Doro life is still wonderful!

For now, forgetting that Sister Su and Taihua didn't come on the treasure hunt, Doraemon's mind is only filled with people, Dorothy, Donas, Pina, and Alvin.

Everyone around me is right here!
Doraemon began to enjoy the soup and porridge, which had a terrible color, aroma, and taste.

"Mmmmm~"

"It's super delicious."

Slurping the soup in small sips, Doraemon muttered his evaluation to his companions.

When you're hungry, everything tastes good.

Even Dorothy, who is usually a picky eater, didn't hesitate to try a small portion of this Dorothy version of Pearl Jade White Jade Soup.

If the soup were a little cooler, Dorothy would definitely drink it down in big gulps.

I happened to eat a piece of bamboo rat meat.

The meat pieces weren't too hot to eat.
Dorothy puffed out her cheeks and chewed hard.

Bamboo rat meat is even tougher than free-range chicken meat!
After finishing a whole piece of bamboo rat meat, Dorothy burped and reminded Donas and Pina, "The mutton is hard to chew, be careful not to get it stuck in your teeth. Donas, don't pick at your teeth with your fingers, there's a toothbrush in my backpack, just remember to brush your teeth before going to bed~".

Donas has large gaps between her teeth, which is caused by not brushing her teeth properly when she lived in a nature reserve. Fortunately, she didn't get cavities.

Bamboo rat meat is rich in protein, and its fine shreds can easily get stuck between your teeth.

Sure enough, a few pieces of meat got stuck in my teeth.

Donas sighed helplessly.
It heeded Dorothy's advice and refrained from scratching its teeth, deciding instead to brush them thoroughly before bedtime.

Pina, holding a rice bowl in both hands, sipped her mixed soup while sipping from the rim of the bowl.

After a few sips of hot soup,

Pina immediately perked up.

I feel like I have energy all over my body.

Pina quickly drank a large bowl of mixed porridge, then looked at the iron pot and estimated that there was enough for three bowls.

Today, Arwen carried me up the mountain path, and I have to thank her.

Pina thought for a moment,
He then used his own bowl to serve Alvin porridge.

The rice bowl was filled to the brim.

"Thank you, Alvin."

"I'm quite heavy, so please carry me today. You and Boss Huang can have all the leftover food." Pina handed the bowl to the other person, patted her chest, and made a decision for the Doro.

Pina believed that Dorothy, Dorothy, and Donas would all support her.

Mr. Huang looks very tired today!

Doro-iro's weight is not light at all!
As expected, Doraemon, Dorothy, and Donas all nodded silently when they heard what Pina said, supporting her decision.

"People~".

"I might need your help again tomorrow?"

"If Doro eats less, he'll be lighter tomorrow. You eat more, you'll have more energy tomorrow."

Duo Luo deliberately left two mouthfuls of soup unfinished and used his own rice bowl to serve soup to Huang Musong so that he could have a few more mouthfuls.

Dorothy remained silent, conserving her energy by speaking less, and like Dorothy, she left two mouthfuls of soup.

but,

Dorothy offered her own job to Alvin.
Because today, Alwen carried it along the mountain path.

Seeing that her three companions were all showing great enthusiasm, Donas was at a loss for what to do and was not willing to defer to Huang Musong or Alvin.

This marshal personally spent an afternoon walking around!

I didn't bother anyone!

I really need to replenish my energy!

Donas hesitated, but after a difficult decision, she compromised and left a small sip of soup.

Huang Musong understood that Dorothy, Pina, and others were thanking him and Alvin.

He also knew that Donas didn't want to eat alone.

After patting the heads of the three little ones, Huang Musong sat down next to Donas and comforted her by explaining the plans for tomorrow: "You have the best stamina. Tomorrow we will take a raft along the river to leave the forest, and we will need your help. Donas, you should also eat more so that you will have the strength to paddle the raft tomorrow."

Upon learning that she would be needed tomorrow, Donas was overjoyed and drank the remaining soup in her bowl in one gulp.

"Then I'll have another bowl!"

"Eat your fill and then go to sleep!"

"Oh right... I need to brush my teeth before bed."

Donas served herself another large bowl of mixed porridge. After finishing it, she licked the bottom of the bowl clean, then brushed her teeth and washed up before returning to her tent and falling asleep immediately.

After having some food for dinner, the doro felt their hunger gone and soon fell asleep.

Although the treasure hunt ended a little less than perfect (we were hungry).

Overall, Doraemon, Dorothy, Donas, and Pina were very satisfied with the trip.

The four little ones, half-asleep, longed to leave the mountains and return to their RV travel life. (End of Chapter)
