Chapter 576 562. The Wind Picks Up, It's Cold (35)
"It's so beautiful." Wang Bo took out his mobile phone to take a few photos and a short video. The strong man came running over, opened his mouth and began to lick on the small waterfall.
The sled dogs also followed and saw the strong man licking the water falling from the small waterfall. They followed suit. Instead of lowering their heads to drink the water in the stream, they licked like a strong man.
Wang Bo had to wait for them to finish drinking, and when they got out of the way, he washed his face and took a handful of water with his hands. Well, it was cold and sweet. Although it was not as good as Lingquan, it was definitely a pure mountain spring.
Carrying the bucket back, Atulu had recovered the firewood and was building a fire with stones and lighting it for cooking.
They brought fresh beef and mutton from home and set up a pot. Wang Bo packed a pheasant and cut it into pieces with potatoes and seasonings.
The soup made from this pure pheasant stew is very fragrant and fresh, but it is a bit too fresh, so he sprinkled a lot of salt in it to suppress the umami taste, otherwise it would not be delicious.
Too much is too late, this principle applies to all aspects.
Charlie and Harney set up a small grill to cook meat on, while Atulu cleaned up his Kura Kaka.
This thing is well cooked and turns black after a while in the oven.
Atulu took it down and distributed it to everyone. Wang Bo looked at the soot-like egg and asked with a frown, "Can I eat it?"
The Maori man took it for granted: "There are not many delicious ones! You will peel off the outer skin later, and then you will know how delicious this thing is!"
Wang Bo took one and stretched out his hand to peel it off. The outer skin was easily peeled off, revealing the golden flesh inside. On the outer layer of the flesh, there are also some reddish-brown silk threads entangled, like tendons.
The strong man sniffled, and ran over quickly, looking expectantly at the Kulakaka in Wang Bo's hand.
Wang Bo himself took a bite first, um, this thing is very glutinous and sweet, almost as sticky as a sweet potato, but with a lot of sand, it feels better in the mouth.
"How is it?" Atulu asked proudly, "I dare say, you must eat one and want the second one."
Wang Bo praised: "I don't know what it is, but it really tastes great."
Eva apparently also ate it for the first time. After eating it, she asked in surprise: "What the hell is this? It tastes really good."
Atulu said while eating: "I think this is a sweet potato from the mountain. Maybe the hare and wild mouse ate the sweet potato, and then the seeds were not digested and excreted in the mountain, and then these things grew."
Wang Bo pushed him with a smile, and said, "Oh, buddy, don't do this, it's disgusting, we're eating."
In the afternoon, Atulu paid more attention to finding this kind of kulakaka. Even the strong men knew that this stuff was delicious, and lowered their heads like a small shovel, helping to find it with their keen sense of smell.
However, the animal's sense of smell is useless at this time. The taste of kulakaka is completely different when it is raw and roasted, so it can only be observed by vines.
There are many people and strength, and they passed in the afternoon, and when they climbed to the top of the hill in the evening, Uncle Bing's backpack was already full of Kulakaka.
The hill that Wang Bo and the others climbed is not very high, only more than 400 meters. If it was him, he could climb up in two hours. The main reason is that there are no mountain roads that are difficult to walk, and there are children, so they climbed slowly. .
When he reached the top of the mountain, he stood on the edge and looked down. From here, he could overlook Sunset Town.
In the distance, Highway 8 has turned into a long and thin strip, on which many cars shuttle, it looks not much bigger than a matchbox.
The afterglow of the setting sun was falling, and the autumn mountain wind was blowing violently. Wang Bo still felt very cold.
Uncle Bing led people to start setting up the tent. Eva rubbed her hands and said, "Are we sure we want to stay at the top of the mountain? Look at the mountain wind, I bet the temperature will be terribly low tonight."
Wang Bo said: "Don't be afraid, the two of us can keep each other warm by hugging each other, not cold."
Eva smiled and said, "Don't think about it, I'm going to sleep with Dai'er tonight."
Wang Bo smiled wryly, what do you think of me, how could I be thinking about it? As far as the sound insulation of the tent is concerned, he doesn't want to perform a love art masterpiece for a group of people.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Eva leaned over and blew on his ear, and said softly: "Actually, Dai'er will fall asleep soon, and then we can go to the woods, what do you think?"
"What are you going to do?" Wang Bo laughed.
Eva flicked her golden ponytail mischievously, and said, "Of course I went to watch the night view on the mountain."
The next point is to make dinner. They ate very simple at noon, just a pot of chicken soup and some barbecue. Filling their stomachs is the priority, but now the priority is to enjoy.
Wang Bo and Atulu dug a hole to prepare kura kaka. Uncle Bing and Brother Bing took guns and bowstrings to hunt for prey. Charlie and the children packed up the vegetables and fish they brought and prepared to cook.
There were only two clear gunshots, and then Uncle Bing and his son came back. The two of them jointly carried a small wild goat, and also carried hares and pheasants with arrows in their hands.
The small wild goat became the main dish. After school, the goat was peeled and gutted. Wang Bo rubbed it with salt and cooking wine for a while, then smeared it with a layer of oil, and then hung it on the fire to roast.
The mutton is full of fragrance, and the mutton is roasted for a while, making the mutton oily.
Brother Bing patiently brushed the prepared sauce on it, and Wang Bo sat next to him and asked, "Is this baked delicious or should I slice it and eat it later?"
Brother Bing was not good at talking, so he said simply: "Eat while roasting."
Since this is the case, Wang Bo is not polite. The mutton on the outside has been roasted into a burnt yellow color, which means it can be eaten.
He cut off a few pieces of meat with a dagger, and a group of big dogs and puppies gathered around him. Speaking of which, with so many dogs around, the lamb was not enough for them to eat.
Fortunately, Eva prepared dog food, but these little bastards also knew that barbecue was better than dog food, so they were all waiting to eat barbecue, and didn't even look at the dog food that was spilled on the ground.
The food was not enough, so Wang Bo took the strong men and the Rottweilers to sweep the mountains. There were many wild birds in the mountains, especially in the evening, when the birds came back, the dogs caught hares, pheasants and wild birds, and the fat cat brothers went to the trees to dig out bird nests. , Harvested a lot of wild game in half an hour.
Kulakaka is cooked, which is more delicious than roasting it. There is no ashes, and the golden flesh is left as long as the outer skin is peeled off.
A group of people ate fried fish, grilled meat, and roasted lamb. The lamb bones and roasted chicken were thrown on the ground, and the dogs would scramble to eat them.
After eating and drinking enough, a group of people began to make coffee and chat around the campfire. The temperature was really low and the mountain wind was very cold. After a while, they all got into the tent.
Before everyone enters the tent, they will drag a dog. This is the advantage of taking the dog up the mountain. Not only can they catch game, but they can also hug and warm their bodies at night.
