Chapter 47 Eating Sashimi

"If you don't find anything handy, just eat it. It may not look good, but it's very moist."

Xia Zhi handed a piece of cactus to Zhou Zhengan.

She had long smelled the bloody smell on Zhou Zhengan's body and knew that Zhou Zhengan must have got some small animal.

Then he handed him two pieces of cactus skin. There were not many thorns on them.

"Wipe your hands, this thing is quite effective in getting rid of the smell."

Zhou Zhengan calmly placed some strips of raw meat on the leaves in front of him.

Received the cactus skin.

This is the first time I use cactus to wipe my hands. It always feels sticky and greasy, but fortunately the bloody smell is indeed covered up a lot.

"Is this thing edible?"

Although Zhou Zhengan has been here for three years, they have developed many specialties in this place.

But no one really eats cactus.

"Don't underestimate this thing. Cactus can be eaten, but we don't have any tools now. It's good to eat it raw.

Don't force it, it's much better than your bloody balls of flesh. "

He handed a piece of cactus meat to Zhou Zhengan.

Zhou Zhengan's expression didn't change when he picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth.

While chewing, there was a hint of understanding in his eyes.

This thing is common in the desert. You can't see anything else when you get lost. You might actually be able to see this thing.

So much moisture.

What's more important is that the taste is actually very good, a little sour and sweet, like eating fruit.

Not as bad as imagined.

There is no bitter taste.

The most important thing is that it can replenish water and serve as food to fill your stomach.

Zhou Zhengan felt that the summer solstice opened another door to the world for him.

"This is quite delicious."

"Well, in addition to cactus, there is also this desert jujube. You should also try it. You all should know this stuff."

He gave half of the remaining things to Zhou Zhengan.

He looked at Zhou Zhengan's pieces of meat.

Xia Zhi didn't dare to check it carefully, but she decided not to ask too clearly.

"What should I do with this meat? How about we grill it?"

She knew that the food Zhou Zhengan was looking for could satisfy her hunger better than the food she was looking for.

If they don't supplement protein right now, they will still have a long way to go.

Just relying on these cacti, desert dates and other things can't fill your stomach at all.

These things are just barely enough.

"We can't live. Once there are fireworks, I'm afraid they will find us easily. Is it okay to eat them raw?"

Zhou Zhengan is used to this kind of wild survival, and their training includes eating raw food as a basic necessity for survival.

But what he was hesitant about was whether he could avoid eating meat during the summer solstice. Cacti and other things alone wouldn't last long.

They are flesh and blood.

They still have a long way to go.

Xia Zhi gritted his teeth.

"I'll give it a try."

It's not like Xia Zhi had never eaten raw food in his previous life. During those miserable years, all the food went into Ding Jiannan's stomach.

And she can only make a living by hunting wild food outside.

Sometimes when it is not convenient to bake, you can only eat raw.

Compared with surviving, eating raw food is nothing. Although it is a small amount, she believes that her tolerance is much stronger than the average person.

Xia Zhi took a piece of meat.

I wiped it with cactus skin.

There's a lot less blood on it, so at least it doesn't have to be that disgusting.

I took the smallest piece of meat.

Put it in your mouth.

Xia Zhi closed her eyes and resisted the feeling of nausea.

Think of it like delicious sashimi.

"Take my advice, don't think about what it is, just eat it. Think of it like the scones we eat at home, the sweet potatoes we eat, the hanami rolls we eat. Anything will do."

Zhou Zhengan's voice rang in his ears.

Xia Zhi chewed hard and stuffed desert dates into his mouth.

Sure enough, after taking it all together, the taste becomes much better, but chewing raw meat is indeed a test for the teeth.

It took Xia Zhi almost five minutes to swallow the raw meat.

My mouth was filled with an indescribable taste.

When he opened his eyes, he looked at Zhou Zhengan with a look of admiration.

"What's that expression on your face?"

Zhou Zhengan's resolute face was full of appreciation.

"I really don't know what kind of girl you are? You can bear this."

"You can bear it, why can't I?"

Xia Zhi rolled her eyes.

For some reason, Zhou Zhengan felt that this white-eyed boy was a bit charming, and his heart felt as if he was being scratched by a pair of small hands.

"The first time I ate it, I almost vomited everything in the corner."

Zhou Zhengan didn't mind telling his embarrassing stories at all.

Of course, he also took this opportunity to appease Xia Zhi's mood.

“To tell you the truth, I’ve eaten raw food before, otherwise my tolerance wouldn’t be that strong.

I have never seen anyone eat raw meat for the first time without changing their face or vomiting.

The first time I ate it, it must have been raw sparrow.

The sparrow is too small.

After the hair was pulled off, there wasn't much meat at all, and the first bite made me vomit out all the acidic water in my stomach. "

"I will remember that moment for the rest of my life, feeling like my whole stomach was going to vomit."

"But people are hungry. When faced with hunger, people have no resistance."

Xia Zhi thought about himself in his previous life and felt that he was quite stupid. He could endure such suffering, but why didn't he give up Ding Jiannan.

Is such a scumbag worth such a big sacrifice?

When a woman is stupid, she probably thinks that she can endure all the suffering in the world for the one she loves.

"Are you so hungry? Is life at home difficult?"

Zhou Zhengan's voice revealed a trace of barely perceptible pity.

He also came here from the city, but before he came here to receive training, his life was not so difficult.

It can even be said that he was raised in pampering.

He couldn't imagine that people in the city could live like this.

"Oh, don't mention it. Life at home is very good, and it's just me who is not living well."

Zhou Zhengan's eyes became more gentle. Although Xia Zhi didn't say it, he knew that it should be that his family favored boys over girls.

"Life will get better and better on the farm in the future, don't worry. It will definitely be better than at home."

Xia Zhi raised his head and looked at Zhou Zhengan with a sharp gaze. At this moment, he saw warmth in the eyes of this tall man.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

"Don't feel sorry for me. I'm not pitiful at all. I think that's also a kind of life experience. Just like after the experience, I can swallow these things without changing my expression and ensure my chance of survival."

"Arsenic to others is honey to me."

Xia Zhi ate another piece of cactus and finally suppressed the fishy smell in his mouth.

But he couldn't eat any more.

It had reached the limit of his tolerance.

Zhou Zhengan didn't persuade her, but stuffed all the remaining pieces of meat into his mouth.

With his appetite, these things didn't even fill his stomach.
