Free Meals

Yu’s eyes lit up, and he immediately guessed that it was because Cheng An asked him to fry the meat first.

He didn’t expect that doing this extra step would make the broth so much more delicious, and the meat also tasted good. No wonder Cheng An was so anxious to eat.

Yu tasted another potato, which was stewed soft and tender, and could be pierced with a chopstick. The potatoes and meat were stewed together, absorbing the fat aroma of the meat, and the glutinous and mellow taste of the meat. The taste was amazing!

This is better than all the cooked food he has eaten before!

Yu was relieved this time. It seems that Cheng An will not starve to death when he grows up, and he doesn’t have to worry about it anymore.

When Cheng An instructed him to cook, he knew that he must have a plan in mind. It was obvious that he knew what the final result of this meal would be.

When Cheng An grows up, he can cook by himself. The broth cooked by Cheng An is delicious, and he thought the broth cooked by Cheng An himself will be even better in the future.  Maybe he could try it later.

Yu was still thinking about Cheng An moving out and living alone in a cave when he grows up, but fortunately he didn’t say it, otherwise he would be upset in the future.

There were some trivial noises outside the cave. Cheng An suddenly raised his head and hid behind Yu with some vigilance.

Yu listened for a while and comforted him: “Don’t be afraid, it’s Shitou coming.”

Yu went to move the stone blocking the cave away, and sure enough, Shitou came with fur in his mouth and something on his back.

Yu waited for Shitou to come in, blocked the cave entrance with stones again before he took the thing on Shitou’s back. Cheng An looked carefully and found it was a piece of meat.

Shitou stood at the entrance of the cave and shook his body, shaking off all the snow and water on his back. Then he turned into a human, put on fur and walked to the fire.

 “It’s so cold outside! It’s really more comfortable in the cave! Yu, what did you do? Why does it smell so good? An, are you eating?” Shitou sat by the fire and warmed himself. After greeting Cheng An, he looked at the potatoes and meat stew in the stone pot eagerly.

Yu looked back and was speechless when he saw Shitou’s behavior, “Eat if you want to. It’s not the first time you come here. Who are you showing this to?”

With Yu’s permission, Shitou stood up, took the stone bowl familiarly, and happily filled himself with a bowl of potatoes and meat stew, “Aren’t I trying to leave a good impression on An?”

“It’s just potatoes and meat stew?” Shitou was a little surprised. He had smelled the fragrance of Yu’s food outside the cave. He thought Yu had researched some new food for An to eat, but it turned out to be just ordinary potatoes and meat stew.

Shitou didn’t dislike it. He came here to eat for free. He would eat whatever Yu cooked!

 “Smells so good!” Shitou is not a picky eater, but he swears that this is really the most delicious potato stew he has ever eaten!

Cheng An closed his eyes and looked up, accepting Shitou’s praise with peace of mind!

This is all his credit! Well, half of it can also be given to Yu!

This is all the credit of both of them. After leaving this cave, where else can Shitou go to eat such delicious potato stew?

With his guidance, Yu’s cooking will definitely become more and more delicious in the future!

Cheng An’s head is almost tilted back to his back, and he is so proud.

“Okay, eat your meat quickly, otherwise it will be cold and not delicious.” Yu’s palm held up Cheng An’s furry little head. He was really afraid that Cheng An’s neck would be tired if he tilted his head for too long. After all, he is still a cub and can’t stand praise.

“Eat quickly. You can gnaw a big bone after eating, otherwise it will be eaten by Shitou if you are slow.” Yu encouraged appropriately.

 “No!” Cheng An shouted, “That’s my big bone!” Then he started to eat.

Shitou took the time to raise his head from the bowl and retorted: “Am I the kind of beast that steals food from cubs?!” Then he followed suit and ate bitterly.

It was as if he was competing with Cheng An, afraid that he would fall behind.

The meat in the stone pot was definitely not enough for Yu and Shitou, two beastmen who were still growing so Yu had to cook another pot.

Fortunately, Shitou still had a conscience and knew to bring a piece of meat when he ate. Although it was salted meat, not giant deer meat, it was still pretty good.

Shitou and Yu were of the same tribe, and Shitou was a very outgoing person. After a few visits, the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Shitou is still single at present. As a beastman, he lives a very rough life. From time to time, he would bring meat to Yu’s place for a meal.

 This situation is rare in the snowy season, but Yu and Shitou’s caves are not too far apart. Maybe Shitou came here with the meat because he smelled the fragrance from Yu’s cave.

Yu took out a stone pot again and cooked a pot of potato stew according to the steps Cheng An taught him before.

The unique flavor of the salted bacon is fully displayed in the frying. Shitou has never felt that his bacon can be so fragrant!

Yu turned around and found that Shitou had eaten his bowl of stewed meat clean without knowing when, and had been staring at the new pot.

“Yu, will this make the broth taste better?” Shitou watched Yu’s actions without blinking.

 Yu: “You have to ask An, this is his idea.”

Shitou looked at Cheng An eagerly again and asked: “An, can I learn to make broth with Yu?”

Cheng An nodded proudly, “Of course! I will make more delicious food in the future!”

“Can I learn more delicious food in the future?” Shitou asked actively. He is now a loyal fan of Cheng An’s cooking guidance.

It’s also because their tribe’s cooking methods are still relatively backward. Although the meat from hunting is delicious enough after simple boiling or roasting, the method is very simple and does not fully bring out the taste of the ingredients themselves, so that a bowl of simply improved potato stew has captured Shitou’s taste buds.

Cheng An didn’t dare to think about how surprised they would be if he spread the complicated cooking methods of frying, stewing and boiling in the future. They would probably think that it was the favor of the beast god.

The beastmen never had the chance to eat fried chicken, French fries, milk tea, cola, hot pot, ice jelly, barbecue, mala soup, mala stir fry, chicken pot, sweet and sour spare ribs, cola chicken wings, turkey noodles, Xinjiang fried rice noodles, Lanzhou beef noodles, Taiwan grilled sausages, grilled cold noodles, roujiamo, etc., Cheng An felt full of mysterious pity for them.

Cheng An raised his paw and patted Shitou’s calf, “Of course you can learn! I will teach you more delicious methods in the future, so that everyone in the tribe can eat delicious food!”

Shitou was so moved that he burst into tears and almost picked up Cheng An to wash him with his tears.

Fortunately, Cheng An acted quickly and jumped to Yu in time, allowing Yu to stop Shitou’s big hand.

 “Great! An, I now believe that you are the lucky star that Grandma Cao said! Grandma Cao is right, it turns out that the priests of the tribe have to be you white-haired people!” Shitou did not shy away from his thoughts.

Cheng An is not used to the beastmen expressing their ideas directly without beating around the bush. Cheng An is not used to this kind of praise that is not sure whether it is praise or criticism, so he laughed dryly and perfunctorily.

Cheng An rubbed Yu’s calf. He had already seen the big bone hanging aside! Is it for him? Is it for him!

Cheng An acted cute, and recalled the cats in the cat cafe soliciting customers. He fell to the ground with his belly exposed, and acted cute and coquettishly: “I want to eat that big bone!”

Because he was not very skilled, his pink paws were broken in order to keep his balance.

However, Cheng An seemed to have forgotten that he was a wolf cub, a canine, not a cat!

 However, the other two beastmen in the cave were both snow leopards, and no one reacted wrongly. The wolf cub shouldn’t act cute like this.

Otherwise, Cheng An would have been exposed earlier.

“It was originally left for you. Take it and chew it slowly.” Yu handed Cheng An the bone and the plate together.

Great! There are big bones to eat!

Cheng An turned over with a grunt, grabbed the bone and ran to chew it.

The second pot of broth was soon cooked. Yu gave half to Shitou. Shitou didn’t care about the heat, picked up the meat and put it in his mouth.

Yu shook his head, took out another stone bowl to scoop out a bowl of broth and put it aside, telling Shitou: “When you go out later, give this bowl to Grandma Cao.”

Grandma Cao and the beastman who originally lived in the big cave, that is, Tu, became good friends. The beastman ate ​​a lot, so the food in their cave should be tight.

 However, Grandma Cao was stubborn. Every time Yu sent something to her, she either refused to accept it or always wanted to give something else back.

It happened that Grandma Cao gave some potatoes first, and Yu gave her a bowl of broth. He thought she would not refuse.

Shitou nodded, “Don’t worry, I will definitely deliver it well and won’t let a drop of the broth spill out.”

Shitou gulped down a large bowl of broth and felt a little full. In the snow season, even the greediest beastmen rarely choose to eat until they are full. As long as there is some food in their stomachs, it is fine.

Maybe it was because in addition to potatoes and meat, there was also fragrant broth to drink today. Two large bowls of fragrant broth warmed the stomach and felt comfortable. The stomach was much fuller than eating barbecued meat and potatoes!

 Shitou drank the last mouthful of soup with satisfaction, “When we get back, do the same with the remaining meat and potatoes in my cave!”

After hearing this, Cheng An reminded him, “The stone pot will break easily if you do this often!”

“What’s the matter? If it breaks, just change it. Isn’t it easy to make a stone pot? It’s just a matter of a few claws.” Shitou didn’t care.

Their tribe was originally in the mountains, and the most common things in the mountains are stones and trees. It is much easier for beastmen to make a stone pot than sub-beastmen. Just find a suitable stone and hollow it out!

After hearing this, Cheng An stretched out his little claws and scratched the stone plate. Only two harsh scratching sounds were made, and nothing else happened, not even two scratches were left.

After listening to the ease in Shitou’s words and comparing it with himself, Cheng An fell silent.

Just wait! Cheng An gnawed the big meat bone fiercely, thinking secretly in his heart. When he grows up, he will be able to smash a big stone with one claw, so that they will all envy him!

 Yu was concentrating on adding more firewood to the fire and didn’t notice Cheng An’s little action.
