Chapter 417 Stewed Turtle
But if you underestimate the enemy because of this, it would be a big mistake.
The deathly silence of the nest made Lanze's heart sink to the bottom. He walked to the innermost part of the cave without giving up, and sure enough, there was no female.
The female was stolen probably ten years ago. The elders leave every year, not to collect information, but to search for females.
Lanze has the same joints. When Tathagata came, he left quietly and came to the sea again.
The white sandy beach was already deserted.
…
The shrubbery has basically returned to green, and it is difficult to find traces of burning. Smoke drifts from the mountains, adding vitality to the new bush mountains.
Bai Qingqing squatted by the boiler, drooling as she looked at the turtle, and dipped her chopsticks into the soup to taste it from time to time.
"Are you ready?" After tasting the rich soup, Bai Qingqing became even more greedy. She rubbed her fingers, ready to eat.
Parker looked at Bai Qingqing helplessly and scooped out a small bowl of turtle for her, "Eat first."
I muttered in my heart: I didn’t expect this turtle to be quite fragrant when cooked.
He had caught soft-shell turtle before, but felt that the meat was too little and the bones were not chewy, so he had no appetite for it. He did not expect that the smell after cooking would be so appealing.
But it’s still not as good as steamed fish. Parker remained devoted to his favorite until death.
Bai Qingqing licked her mouth, picked up the bowl and started eating eagerly.
The soft-shell turtle was just cooked, and its skin was very tough and difficult to chew. Bai Qingqing couldn't even hold it with her chopsticks, so she just gnawed it with her hands.
Although it's not stewed yet, it still tastes great.
The salt they now eat was exchanged by Parker for food from the Peacock tribe. He also found ginger, garlic and chili in this area. Just mixing these ingredients into the soup makes it taste very delicious.
"Eat slowly, the food in the pot will become softer after a while," Parker said.
In fact, turtle is easy to cook, but Bai Qingqing's teeth are really bad. Parker has to stew meat for a long time every time. This is already his cooking habit.
Bai Qingqing ate and nodded.
The leopard cubs saw their mother chewing something and looked at it curiously.
"Do you want to eat too? No, you haven't grown teeth yet, so you can't eat meat." Bai Qingqing rejected them ruthlessly.
"Meow~" The boss raised his front paw and scratched Bai Qingqing's calf.
The leopard cub put away its claws, and its soft furry pads scratched people's bodies, which can make people's hearts soften.
Bai Qingqing held her heart in her hands and glared at them helplessly, "Now, let me give you a taste."
"Qingqing!" Parker called out disapprovingly.
Bai Qingqing stretched out the empty chopsticks, raised her head and said to Parker, "Don't worry, I have the sense to give them a lick of chopsticks."
Parker finally felt relieved, opened the lid of the pot, stirred it, and then closed it again.
The boss held the chopsticks in his mouth, sucked them into his mouth habitually, and almost pulled the chopsticks out of Bai Qingqing's hand.
Tasting the salty taste that was completely different from milk, the little leopard's almond-shaped eyes widened and he stared blankly at Bai Qingqing.
Bai Qingqing chuckled, "I told you it wasn't for you to eat. You must be dumbfounded."
The second child also came to bite the chopsticks, but the top of the chopsticks was already occupied by the oldest child, so he had to bite the body of the chopsticks, unable to close his mouth, exposing his bare pink gums.
Bai Qingqing took out the chopsticks, dipped the soup in the bowl, split the two chopsticks in two directions, and brought them to the cub's mouth.
The eldest brother and the second child bit down on one of the sticks. The eldest brother sucked it with relish. The second son, after being surprised for a moment, also showed a look of relish.
