Searching for food through the beast world

Don't touch the owner's dry food

In Ding Xiao's eyes, the skinned Jag-tooth sheep can look up the sex.

Xiaoxiao was a little surprised by this kind of mild-flavored mutton, which was really different from other sheep.I got closer and smelled it, and there was still a bit of a smell, but it was not heavy.Take a closer look at the meat quality, the shredded meat should be more tender.Really looking forward to the taste more and more.

The whole lamb roasted by Papa Joan combines three different flavors.The most traditional one is the salt and pepper flavor, but this time there is an extra process of brushing oil when roasting, so it tastes charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and the gravy is delicious, just enough to taste a little bit of mutton. It is definitely an irresistible temptation.

The second flavor is inspired by Ding Xiao's previous fruity pork ribs.Barbecue sauce made with green orange juice and wine, soy sauce and vegetable salt.With the mellow aroma of wine and the sweet and sour taste of orange juice, this salty-sweet taste is also quite good.

Spicy is the taste that they all like, except for the two females.Therefore, half of the roasted one with spicy mouth is enough.In fact, considering that the spicy taste can numb the taste too much, Joan didn't use too much spicy sauce, and added honey water at the end to combine the spicy taste, so it doesn't taste very spicy.On the contrary, it can bring out the aroma and sweet taste of the meat itself.

Carefully savoring the mutton of the Jag-tooth sheep, it was as expected by Ding Xiao, the meat was soft, but slightly elastic after roasting, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.The gravy is very fragrant, and the slight smell of mutton after adding spices is quite well integrated.He thinks that people like Luxi who don't like the smell of mutton can eat some.Moreover, the fat of this sheep is quite evenly distributed, which is most suitable for roasting and frying.

It's a pity that the sharp-toothed sheep is a dangerous species, and there is no possibility of breeding it for the time being.

Leopard meat is mild in taste, and Ding Xiao also ate two pieces. Although the taste is not as rich and colorful as that made by his father, the advantage of mediocrity is that the meat is very fragrant.Especially the place with tendons, it is particularly strong to chew and not chewy.Ding Xiao felt that his teeth were really much better than before, obviously when he first came here, the roasted animal meat tendons were never chewable.Now this is really... gratifying!

After eating a barbecue dinner, the sky is just starting to turn gray.The sun has already set behind the mountain, and I believe it will be completely dark in a while, and the hundreds of lanterns will definitely look very beautiful when lit.

Peng Jia is related to the village head, so their family had a reunion dinner earlier, after all, the village head will preside over the ceremony later.Not only their family, Teng went to Ge Zhong's father's house for dinner today, and he also wanted to finish eating early and arrive early.

Because there will be a New Year's ceremony only when there is a coming-of-age ceremony for adult males, the whole village, including the upper and lower villages, gathers one after another at the altar in the square of the upper village.But this is not a must, you don’t have to come if you don’t want to, you can leave whenever you want, but it’s just that there are “entertainment” activities to participate in, these orcs will not miss any chance to party, especially this year The lanterns can be seen, and even some cubs and some old orcs can make do.

Ding Xiao raised his head, and the four-meter-high lantern frame was tied with strong vines, forming three large circles on the side of the altar.Since it will not affect people standing, you can also use the good lighting of lanterns.And these things come in various shapes and sizes. Although most of them are not standard or beautiful, all of them are the intention and craftsmanship of the creators.

In fact, no matter what the world is, it is exciting and proud to be able to control fire.Be it humans or orcs, they are all in awe of fire.Not only rely on fire to keep warm and keep warm to make food, but also fear that a little bit of sparks may turn into a disaster of starting a prairie fire.So this thing that can cover the flames with something will give people an illusion that they can subdue the fire, so this kind of excitement is beyond the comprehension of Ding Xiao, who has used electric lights for 24 years.

There were more and more people in the square, and the noise in my ears naturally gradually became louder.Kun is a member of the coming-of-age ceremony, so he has no way to accompany Xiaoxiao from the beginning.But he felt that he was already very happy, and when he said with a smile, it was the beginning of tomorrow, and he would be able to eat delicious dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut!He smiled and said that eating dumplings on the [-]th night is the most important custom in their hometown, which means that the New Year and the old year are in harmony, which makes him feel that eating dumplings at that time is a very sacred thing . (How holy is it--b)

The sacrificial oration for the sacrifice is really long and awkward.Ding Xiao didn't even understand some words.Although they all speak Chinese, the combination of various words and sentences is no different from foreign languages.Sure enough, there is a big surprise in the written language between the two places?He wondered if he should prepare a bowl of water for the priest and soak in the fat sea. He has been talking for about 10 minutes, and it seems that he has no intention of finishing it. His mouth must be very dry.

I thought the sacrificial text would be long enough, but when the oldest great-grandfather Yeji in the village began to draw totem symbols and say blessings to the young males, Ding Xiao fully understood the "despair" that Lian Zhimei had before.Too... too boring.Originally, he thought it would be enough to draw the "face make-up" of these eighteen people one by one and say blessings together, but he was too naive.People draw a blessing one by one.Everyone doesn't bring heavy samples.This vocabulary is so rich that Ding Xiao feels ashamed.So after Kun got off the altar after being blessed for the sixth time, he couldn't listen anymore.After saying hello to Abba, Luxi, Jing and Lianzhi who couldn't stand it were pulled out of the crowd.I don't know how and how long Kun will take to enshrine the skull of the Corrosion Beast.Although I really want to see it, but let's talk about it later, these three guys can't be provoked, anyway, Kun can find himself if he finishes.

Leaving the dense crowd, the number of people in the periphery is not small, but they all gather in twos and threes into different small "camps", some chat quietly, some secretly talk about love, and some comment on the lanterns above their heads.

Lianzhi let out a long breath: "Am I right? Festivals are the most boring, but these lanterns are so beautiful. Although they are not as bright as many bonfires, they feel very good!"

Luxi also sighed with emotion: "Xiaoxiao, what other interesting and beautiful things do you have in your hometown? This lantern is really amazing. We never thought of it before."

Ding Xiao complained in his heart, I also want to say that we have fireworks during the New Year.It's a pity that I don't know how to say it. There are virgin forests everywhere. Unless I want to die, I won't think about that kind of thing.But as for looking good, it's not impossible. "In our place, during the New Year's Day, a group of people who are very good at singing and dancing are dancing... on the altar to perform for everyone. It's much more beautiful than males jumping around."

"Sing to many people? How embarrassing. Only people from the Tianyu and Lingque tribes gather to sing." Cub Jing somewhat didn't understand.

Are the mermaids here also good at singing?I'm really looking forward to it. It seems that when Kun takes himself on a trip in the future, he must rush to the clear water first.Xiaoxiao is very curious about the living habits of the Tianyu tribe. "It's embarrassing if you're timid. I don't dare, I can't sing well, but there are many people who specialize in singing in my hometown. By the way, Lian Zhi, can you sing?"

Lian Zhi shook his head: "I can only hum the ditties my grandma taught me. I have never heard people from the Tianyu and Lingque clans sing. It is said that they sing very well. Listen to my elder brother, the Lingque clan There is a female, she sings very, very beautifully. She is the partner candidate that the males of the whole clan most want to marry back home."

When Jing heard this sentence, he immediately raised his eyebrows: "Your elder brother knows a lot!"

"Pfft!" Ding Xiao burst out laughing. "Don't worry about your shingle, even if you sneeze, it's a natural sound!"

Jing was puzzled: "What is the voice of Tianlai?"

Without waiting for Ding Xiao to explain, Luxi tugged Xiaoxiao's sleeve: "Stop teasing. Look at Shu and them, and call Kun over there! Let's hurry over there!"

Although he was assured of Kun's 120 million people, Ding Xiao was shocked when his big guy was surrounded by N females and N half-orcs to confess in a group.

To be precise, it was not shock, but thunder.Their Yihu tribe is a monogamous race!Are these people crazy?So when he walked there with three good friends, he was very angry.Although he had only spoken a few words with Shu He, he believed that this woman would definitely not be a collaborator in this matter.

Just when Jing wanted to rush over, Luxi held them back. "Listen aside."

Ding Xiao thinks this is also good.He didn't want to engage in surveillance, but he had to confirm what this group of people wanted to do.Other people's families are not confessing, they will not look good if they go angrily.

Do the math.Five females, three half-orcs, the number of eight is not too many, and it is certainly not too few. In short, after seeing these people, think about the number of "rivals" that Jing and Luxi told themselves before. , which should be considered a minority.Ding Xiao was sure that Kun saw them coming, and those few people saw them too.It's just that Yikun's personality didn't directly pull people over to find him, Xiaoxiao felt a little surprised.

The female Jin looked up at Kun: "Why him? I don't even know where he is from." She said earnestly.

The half-orcs echoed: "Yes! Even if you like half-orcs, there are many more capable and beautiful half-orcs in our village!" Alluding to himself.

Female Baixiang: "He can't even have offspring, you choose him to make your own cubs without blood!"

Female Li: "What if he must return to his hometown in the future?" Worrying for Jun.

Half-orc Dongyi: "Didn't it mean that he doesn't remember the past? What if he remembers that he had a partner before?" Science fiction.

Ding Xiao couldn't bear to listen to the speeches of the remaining people, it was really... more and more funny.Sure enough, they all highlight Shu He's gentleness and intelligence? "Kun, although I know you like Ding Xiao very much, he is a half-orc and cannot have cubs. You are the heir of the village chief. If you have no heirs, who will succeed the village chief in the future? You and He Uncle is different." Although these words sound harsh to Ding Xiao, he has to say that these are the most reliable and powerful words among the eight people.

Although Ding Xiao heard many people say that Kun is the best candidate for the future village chief, he always thought it was because Kun was a child prodigy, one of the strongest young warriors in the village, and the son of the current village chief. It's also very good, that's why it's like this.But no one has ever told him that the "official position" here is hereditary.Hearing it now at this juncture, he was naturally taken aback.

Just when Ding Xiao was stunned, the three friends beside him were gnashing their teeth and eager to try.A tall figure appeared behind them.And called out twice: "Ding Xiao, Ding Xiao?"

Ding Xiao turned his head, and he could still see the face of this person through the light in the distance. "Grey Tiger? Do you need something from me?"

Gray Tiger nodded: "Can I have a few words with you alone?"

Luxi turned her head vigilantly: "What are you talking about? Can't say it here?"

Gray Tiger moved the corners of his mouth in embarrassment: "I... I have something... I just want to talk to Ding Xiao."

Xiaoxiao had a pretty good impression of Gray Tiger. Although he hadn't had much contact with him, when he occasionally met in the village, this guy would share the fruits he picked with the three of them.Although he is not particularly talkative, he has a silly smirk on his face when he speaks, and he is quite a nice person. "Alright then." Patting Luxi on the shoulder, he stopped after only moving about five meters away.I mean, let's talk about it here, it's almost there.

Although Kun and the others could still be seen from this position, their voices could not be heard clearly.So Ding Xiao inevitably felt a little anxious. "What's the matter with you?"

Gray Tiger hesitated twice, then encouraged himself in his heart, and finally said, "You, you heard what they said, right?"

Seeing Gray Tiger's gaze directed towards Kun's direction, he immediately understood the meaning. "I heard it. And then?"

"Kun, Kun is going to be the village head in the future, and if he marries you, he won't be able to be the village head."

This guy didn't speak loudly, and he didn't dare to look directly at him. Ding Xiao felt that this guy was probably encouraged.If you want the truth to be upright or something, you won't have this tone and look. "Do you mean that I hindered Kun from being the village head? Or that Kun never wanted to form a partner with me?"

Unexpectedly, Ding Xiao asked such two questions calmly, and Huihu completely choked back the comforting words he had planned. "No...not. Kun is a good male. You didn't hinder him, you...you are very, very good. I want to say...uh..."

Ding smiled big: "You mean we are not suitable?"

Gray Tiger nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes! You two are not suitable! Even if Kun does not become the village head and forms a partner with you, you will be very sad. Someone will definitely complain about you, and everyone thinks that Kun can lead our village in the future Live better. I, although I am not as powerful as Kun, but I like you very much. I have always... always liked you very much."

Meow!To sow discord before confessing?Ding Xiao felt that he was overwhelmed by lightning.Although he didn't think Gray Tiger's attitude was hypocritical, maybe he would feel a little surprised when he said this in another situation, and then said "Sorry, I only like Kun".But in this situation, a group of black tigers are "sieging" their own family over there, and here is a confession, and he suddenly remembered the bloody plot of Gongdou Xi Shenma.

But before Ding Xiao could "explode", Kun's angry growl suddenly came to his ears: "Xiaoxiao is my partner!"

The sudden warmth against his back and the big hands around his waist made Ding Xiao feel like it was dawn.Seeing those "rivals in love" also surrounded him, he just slightly declined the words and changed the way of saying it. "Huihu, you didn't come here voluntarily to tell me these things today, did you? Although I haven't had much contact with you, I don't think you're the kind of person who stumbles behind your back. But I can't respond to your words, like Kun As I said just now, I am his partner, and I am also his partner. I will not like other people anymore. I will not make choices for him regardless of his feelings just because others think that Kun and I are not suitable." After finishing speaking He looked at Shu He: "You may think that my eavesdropping is not a good behavior, but I think it is much more noble than speaking ill of someone's partner. What do you think? Shu and sister?"

Shu He's face became very ugly.Just now they took turns talking to Kun, but Kun didn't say a word. Although he followed them and left the crowd, his eyes never fell on any of them.It wasn't until Huihu came to confess to Ding Xiao that Kun had a reaction.It's a pity that they pulled them away, ran to Ding Xiao's side in a few strides, and said something that made her jealous to death.Of course, the most annoying thing is Ding Xiao's words.No matter what she said when she rejected Gray Tiger, or what she said directly to herself at the end, both made her feel pain in her ribs, but she couldn't destroy her image because of the many people around her. "Ding Xiao, I think what we said to Kun is for his own good, you have to believe that we are not targeting you."

Ding Xiao leaned against Kun, raised his head, and smiled slightly. "She said she was doing it for your own good." I won't talk about them!

Kun bowed his head and kissed Xiaoxiao's head: "Hi, I'm fine. What she says never makes sense."

Ding Xiao suddenly felt as if he had become a "kidney treasure". How could this sweet love story be so weird!Forget it, being able to get angry with this troublesome woman is a good sentence, the key is how sharp and powerful the second sentence is! "In my hometown, there is a saying, 'Don't touch the dry food with the owner'. Whether Kun's choice is right or not, and whether he will live well in the future is not up to you, nor is it up to me. His own feelings and life He has to decide for himself. I think a good partner, even if it’s just a good friend, should respect each other’s decisions first. What’s more, I don’t think Kun, Shu and sister are very familiar with you! Besides, Uncle Pengjia You and Aunt Liu Dai have nothing to say, why do you, an outsider, jump up and down, and call so many people to prevent everyone from being safe. What are you thinking about?"
