Cute Beast Food Garden

Si Dongmo was concentrating on serving vegetables in the kitchen, but he didn't notice that the little dumpling in his pocket had already made his own claim and disappeared without a trace.When he rushed out with a big pot of braised ferocious frogs that had just been prepared, he saw the back of the young man leaning against the wall.

"Qi, Qi Yan?" He said in surprise, "Why did you change back to your original shape so quickly? Didn't you mean to rest for two more days?"

"I'm fine." The young man looked back, and the sparkle in his eyes made the man's breath stagnant.He picked up a long piece of firewood from the wall as a walking stick, and happily came forward to help Dongmo carry the vegetable bowl, and the two walked out together.

"I just saw you cooking so briskly, and I couldn't hold back."

"What a messy little dumpling." Dong Mo smiled and shook his head, seeing that Qi Yan was in good spirits, he let him go.

After entering the house, they found that the temporary residents inside were not doing their own thing as expected, but instead were staring at the direction they came from.

"how……?"

Someone in the crowd suddenly stood up: "It's finally here!" With him as the "model", the others no longer shy away from it, and looked straight at the hot vegetable bowl.

Dong Mo and Qi Yan looked at each other.Unexpectedly, people were eagerly looking forward to the dishes made by the beast. When he was watching the reactions of the people on the street, he thought that everyone was worried and would not dare to eat the beast.

However, maybe it was because he was really hungry, or maybe the dishes Dongmo was holding were too tempting to look at. As soon as the dishes were on the table, people couldn't wait to gather around, gearing up and eager to try.

"Come on, everyone, don't be in a hurry, such a big pot, anyone can eat enough."

The young guy from the restaurant ran out and directed the people to line up, with the elderly, women and children in front, and the young and middle-aged people in the back, and poured the cooked rice porridge and braised ferocious frog into people's respective bowls one by one.

Qi Yan and Dong Mo watched with a little anxiety.The first person to serve the food was a seven or eight-year-old child. Before he had time to sit down, he took a big bite of the frog meat, and immediately screamed because it was hot.

"Aww...it's burning me to death!"

But after calming down, the child grinned, giggled, and kept smacking his mouth: "It's delicious, so fresh, it tastes like a frog!"

As soon as he yelled, the rest of the people who were waiting in line for a meal also started talking.

"Frog? Is this really a frog?"

"It's definitely not, it's the meat of a ferocious beast!"

Someone asked: "Chef, what kind of beast is braised in soy sauce?"

Hearing this, Qi Yan immediately recalled the appearance of the ferocious frog when it came out of the cage—it has a fancy skin, a fat body, a long tongue flying out, its mouth splashing everywhere, and six bulging eyes blinking around at the same time... In fact, it looks not only not very tasty , and a little heavy taste.

But he didn't want to spoil people's appetite, so he replied: "It's a fat big frog, it looks a bit dark."

People listened to his narration, imagined it for a while and didn't think the original shape was too scary, so they went to hunt vegetables with peace of mind.Qi Yan and Dong Mo looked at each other with a subtle guilty conscience in their eyes.

However, sometimes, lying is also a kind of kindness, and ignorance is also a kind of happiness...

People in the house were full of oil, eating deliciously, and even clamoring for "another bowl". The depression and melancholy brought about by the hunger and cold of the previous few days were swept away.It seems that the dinner problem of more than 50 people in the restaurant has been satisfactorily resolved.Dong Mo rubbed his eyebrows in relief: "This time the experiment was successful. I have to go back and record the cooking method of the six-eyed giant frog."

The two were about to walk into the backyard when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew behind them.Looking back, I saw that the door of the restaurant was pushed open, and Boss Lan and He Jia stepped into the house one after the other.

"Yo, it smells so good?"

As soon as he entered the door, He Jia sniffed sharply, stared wide-eyed at the remaining braised ferocious frogs in the vegetable bowl, and unconsciously clicked his tongue twice.He walked over quickly, "What kind of dish is this? It smells like frog."

Dong Mo whispered to him, "It's a six-eyed giant frog."

The refugees in the restaurant had never seen the original shape of the ingredients, but He Jia actually knew what the six-eyed giant frog looked like.He thought about it for a while, and a giant frog with bright colors, pimples all over his body, and squatting appeared in his mind, and then looked at the remaining fragrant frog legs in the basin, his excited face immediately turned from red to white, and then to blue.

"Uh……"

"Try one." The young guy in the store saw the black feather army coming in a hurry, and waved enthusiastically, and soon filled a bowl of porridge, added a braised frog, and offered it with both hands. .

He Jia scratched his head.It was inconvenient for him to politely refuse the other party's kindness, so he had no choice but to take the bowl and stand there quite nervously.

Boss Lan patted him on the back, and said with a smile: "You said in front of the villagers that you can eat any beast, why are you afraid now? I believe that when we were in the mountains, in order to survive, You must have eaten something worse than this."

He Jia was silent for a while, "That's right. In order to survive, I can do anything."

As he said that, he closed his eyes and ate a piece of fried meat in awe-inspiring manner.But he opened his eyes unexpectedly.

"Wow...this is too delicious!" He Jia exclaimed, and then ate a few big mouthfuls, gobbling it voraciously. "It's delicious, much better than the white boiled meat eaten in the mountains!"

"That's natural." Seeing his delicious food, Dongmo, as a chef, was also a little proud. "This is braised in red, and a lot of ingredients are added in it, which not only removes the fishy smell, but also seasons it."

"That makes sense." He Jia gulped down the whole bowl in a few strokes.After chewing and eating, he let out a long sigh of relief, and then looked at Dongmo with piercing eyes.

"Chef, I have something to discuss."

Qi Yan looked at him with a funny face: "Brother He, why are you being polite to us? Just speak up if you have something to say."

He Jia waved his hand, beckoning them to leave the noisy house, and walked through the corridor to the backyard together.

"Taking advantage of the opportunity of the little ocher magpie's Chi Xiao, the whole army of Heiyu in the county was dispatched to attack from the weakest point of the encirclement, breaking through the defense line of the beasts in one fell swoop. So far, several teams have rushed out of Hongye County , and headed towards the two adjacent counties with all our strength."

Hearing this, both Qi Yan and Dong Mo's eyes lit up: "Have you gone out?"

"Yes." He Jia smiled, and his face could not conceal the excitement, "Before, the demon army bypassed Hongye County and went straight to the other two counties, trying to attack Chicheng in the middle, but they didn't expect Our Black Feather broke through the blockade so quickly, and also cut off one of their backup supply lines. Tens of thousands of soldiers have already arrived in the adjacent Huoyun County and Lieyang County. The common people resisted together, and I believe the crisis will be resolved soon."

"This is really good!"

Qi Yan patted his injured left leg lightly, "Hei Yu has done a good job, and even made my injured leg angry."

"That's natural, not only to give vent to the little ocher magpie's legs, but also to the people on the border who were hurt by them." He Jia laughed heartily. There is no supply, and the soldiers only have steamed buns, porridge and wild vegetables to eat, and they can't fill their stomachs."

"Can only eat steamed buns and porridge?" Qi Yan frowned, "The army needs physical strength to fight, so we should get some meat to eat anyway?"

"Well. The soldiers captured some beasts during the battle, but the cooks in the army are limited, and the dishes they make are mediocre. This time, General He invited chefs to cook beasts in Luoxia Town. In addition to the food crisis, there are also considerations for choosing chefs for our Black Feather Army."

Hearing this, Dong Mo's eyes lit up: "Brother He, what do you think of me?"

He Jia laughed twice, "I'm here this time to invite you, right? To be able to make the terrible ominous frog into a delicacy must be an extraordinary culinary skill." His eyes brightened, "The soldiers just After a battle and a complete victory, food is very much in need of consolation. If you can come and help the Black Feather Army to hold a celebration banquet, the whole army will be greatly encouraged and continue to march forward."

Dong Mo looked at Qi Yan, and the young man nodded cheerfully: "We are very honored to be able to do something for Hei Yu."

=====

Hongye County West.

The battlefield that had been fought fiercely during the day is now lonely.The night was dark, and the soldiers returned to the camp. It was quiet in the military tent, and there were clusters of fires in the darkness, which looked like fluorescent spots in the distance.

The soldiers lined up in order.Even though he had just won a battle, today's dinner was still a steamed bun, a bowl of porridge mixed with wild vegetable roots, and a few slices of beast leg meat boiled in plain water.

For young and middle-aged people in combat, these meals are really too plain to eat.But helpless, the conditions were tough, and he had to eat all the white noodle porridge and boiled meat with gritted teeth.

The soldiers all hoped that the "chef" promised by General He before the war would soon descend from the sky, cook them a sumptuous celebration feast, and cook the captured beasts and captives into delicious dishes. a meal.Only when you have enough food and drink can you have the energy to fight the fierce beasts, right?

"Quack clack..."

In the silence, the sound of the carriage driving across the ground could be clearly heard.

"reached!"

The chariot stopped with a creak, He Jia jumped to the ground, and raised the curtain for the people above.

The man and the boy came down one after the other.Looking up, I saw that in the deep night, there were dots of campfires all over the mountains, illuminating the entire undulating mountains.

"It's really spectacular!" Looking at the large and small army tents everywhere, Qi Yan couldn't help but exclaimed and shivered at the same time.It's winter now, and the wind is howling in the mountains, making it surprisingly cold.He couldn't help but tighten his neck, trying to curl up into a ball.

Dong Mo lifted off his coat, pulled him into his arms, and shielded him from the cold wind blowing by.Seeing this, He Jia smiled without saying a word, and pointed forward, motioning for them to follow him.

The military kitchen is clean and bright, with all kinds of kitchen utensils and large pots.Dong Mo walked around inside, and soon had the urge to cook, and couldn't help asking: "Brother He, this room is big and spacious enough, but... where are the ingredients?"

"Hahaha! It's easy to say, there are a lot of ingredients, and you can keep them enough to show your skills! Come with me."

After leaving the kitchen and walking down the hill with a lantern, Qi Yan shrugged his nose and smelled a fishy smell, which was very similar to the smell of wild animals.Walking a few steps forward, a row of huge cages, in which all kinds of ferocious beasts are imprisoned, comes into view.

"Come here! Come and have a look, here are all kinds of strange things, but there are all kinds!" He Jia waved his hand, and asked his subordinates to open the gate, with the expression of a private collector showing his favorite collection, "Hey, You can choose what you want, just ask."

Facing the cage full of ferocious beasts that were howling endlessly, Si Dongmo looked at this and then at that, already dazzled, hesitating and not knowing what to do.Qi Yan glanced around quietly, the light on the side of the cage was not very good, at a glance, he could only see the green eyes and sharp teeth of the fierce beasts, and he couldn't distinguish the specific shape.

"Let me choose." Seeing the man hesitate, Qi Yan made a move himself.He randomly pointed three times into the dark cage, "One, two, three! That's all!"

He Jia asked, "That's all?"

"It's better to hit the sun than to pick the sun, and it's better to choose blindly than to choose!" Qi Yan was full of confidence, "Come to these three for the time being, and come back when you're done!"

He Jia wiped off his sweat and asked the soldiers to help drag out the three he had chosen.However, Qi Yan and Dong Mo didn't see their true appearance until they were dragged to a location with better light.

"What are these things?"

Dong Mo let out a cry.I saw that the fierce beasts picked out by the "true blind selection" in front of me are:

"Long-haired hedgehog, hook-tailed crocodile, night moon rhinoceros."

After He Jia counted them one by one, he looked at them in shock, "You really want to use these? How, how do you make this into a dish?"

Qi Yan looked around, there were obviously only two lying on the ground humming.He couldn't help asking: "There are only two here, is there another one?"

He Jia quickly pulled out his saber, and gesticulated twice into the air.Hearing a "roar", the huge Yeyue rhinoceros suddenly appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground, bulging its eyes like copper bells aggressively.

Looking at the familiar figure, Qi Yan's heart trembled, "Old, old acquaintance, you, hello."

"Ohohoho!" Yeyue Rhino opened his mouth and roared, and then He Jia hit the Ya acupuncture point with the handle of a knife. He couldn't roar anymore, and could only stare at them with resentment.

Qi Yan swallowed guiltyly.At first glance, these three guys didn't seem like edible ingredients at all, and he really didn't know what to do with them.

"Yes, or... let's change the batch."

"No." Dongmo sighed, "You said, selection is worse than blind selection."

Qi Yan felt guilty, "Uh...that's what I said casually. Don't take careless words..."

Dong Mo slapped his hands, "That's the decision! As long as there are ingredients, you can make good dishes anyway."

With a wave of He Jia's hand, the soldiers immediately dragged the three beasts into the kitchen.Qi Yan stared at the back of Dongmo's head and couldn't help thinking, without diamonds and porcelain work, how would they end up next?
