Chapter 1305 Extra: Du Fu 31
Fu Miaoxue nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's take it back to eat~"
She asked again: "What else can I eat? I'm so hungry!"
Du glanced at the sky and said, "Let's do this for today. We have to set up tents for the rest of the time."
"Okay~ go back and set up the tent!" Fu Miaoxue agreed happily.
The two of them walked back holding a pile of clams and bamboo tubes. The sky was getting darker, the wind was howling, and the jungle was gloomy. They walked forward in silence, one after the other. The light of the fire in the distance made people feel at ease, like a beacon to go home. .
Even though they both knew, how could that place be considered a home? It's just a bare stone cave.
…
Returning to the big rock, the bonfire was still burning. Du Lai turned the cage upside down and put it on the fire to bake. After the base of the birdcage was turned upside down, there was a metal disk that was slightly sunken inward.
With no tools or condiments available, he threw a pile of clams that had only been washed with sea water onto a round plate and baked them, and soon he could hear a sizzling sound.
The clams couldn't bear the high temperature and opened their mouths one after another.
Fu Miaoxue squatted by the campfire and swallowed her saliva. She was so hungry that a few fruits couldn't fill her stomach. However, she still questioned this way of cooking.
"No oil, no salt, just dry cooking?" she asked.
Du Lai picked up a branch and played with the clams, and replied: "I also want to use oil and salt. It's best to use some onions, ginger, garlic, some vinegar, some chili oil..."
"Stop talking..." Fu Miaoxue said uncomfortably, covering her stomach, "The more I talk, the hungrier I get."
Du Lai handed her the bamboo tube containing the octopus and said, "Eat this first to fill your stomach."
Pulling off the straw dumpling at the mouth of the tube, you can see a small palm-sized octopus curled up inside. It is now tightly attached to the inner wall of the bamboo tube and refuses to come out.
Fu Miaoxue took a curious look and asked, "Don't you need to kill it first?"
"It's no longer fresh if it's killed. Octopuses are eaten directly like this." Du Lai said in a normal tone, "It's just like eating oysters, oysters are also eaten raw."
Fu Miaoxue thought about it and felt it was right.
She was so courageous that she reached out and pulled the octopus out of the bamboo tube. The octopus immediately wrapped itself around her hand and kept struggling and squirming.
She didn't know where to start.
"How about... cut it with a knife first?" Fu Miaoxue frowned.
Du Lai said: "There is no need to cut it, it's okay to eat it directly. We only have one knife, which will be used to cut the clam meat later. Using it back and forth between raw and cooked food will skew the taste."
Although she didn't quite understand what was wrong with the taste of skewers, Fu Miaoxue thought it made sense. Besides, the octopus was twisting around, and there was no cutting board or anything like that here, so it was not easy to cut it.
Then...
Just bite it.
She was so hungry that she brought the octopus to her mouth. She thought of the sweetness and tenderness of the oysters in her mind. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth to bite it——
The first feeling when entering the mouth is that it has no taste.
There is no fishy smell, no umami taste, nothing at all, as tasteless as chewing a rubber band.
Just as she was about to chew for the second time, the tentacles suddenly got all over her face!
Fu Miaoxue: "!!!"
Subconsciously, she stretched out her hand to pull, but the small suction cups on the tentacles firmly adhered to her skin and did not move at all!
Fu Miaoxue suddenly panicked and pulled hard again, but the result was pain as if the skin was being torn!
"Ahhhh!" She screamed in fright, reluctantly pulling down two tentacles. Just as she was about to pull the other tentacles, the two tentacles were sucked to other places again!
Fu Miaoxue burst into tears all of a sudden!
"Du Lai ah ah ah ah!!!"
