“Crack??? ”

The exterior of the roe deer meat was evenly roasted to a golden brown color under the careful and balanced heat. The surface, crispy and firm, broke open under the force exerted by Zhou Tianhao, revealing the hot, juice-filled tender white meat inside.

Soon, a leg brimming with tender white meat was ripped off by Zhou Tianhao, releasing a spritz of meat juice and a swirl of heat.

The incredibly rich aroma of roasted meat filled the surrounding area, enough to make one drool.

“It looks delicious!” laughed Zhou Tianhao, his eyes spariding.

With one hand holding the skinny leg of the roe deer, his other hand reached towards the thigh, garnished with chunks of fresh, tender meat.

Then, Zhou Tianhao quickly pulled his hand back as if he had been electrocuted, shaking it in the air and grimacing in pain from the heat.

After a moment, he turned his attention to Food Spirit, eagerly waiting on the side, “Lark, help me cut the meat.”

Lark, Zhou Tianhao’s Food Spirit who had mastered the movement of Thought Waves, nodded in agreement. With the power of Thought Waves, he quickly separated the meat from the bones, distributing it to everyone.

Only after he blew on the meat in front of him did Zhou Tianhao satisfy himself by popping it into his mouth.

“Ugh!”

A big bite of meat, both the golden-brown crispy outside and the tender, juice- filled inside parts, provided different textures. Only the delicate taste and intense aroma lingered long after the bite.

With the first bite swallowed, Zhou Tianhao showed a satisfied look, “The sensation of eating a big piece of meat is too thrilling!”

Compared to Zhou Tianhao, Qin Lang and Shen Qian’s actions were a bit more elegant. They kept carving pieces of roasted roe deer meat using a small knife, at times eating it themselves and at other times sharing them with Food Spirit.

Although their movements were more graceful, their pace of eating was not slower than Zhou Tianhao’s. Before long, the parts before them, which were once solely meat, had been reduced to mere skeletons.

“Try this.” After cleaning the meat from the ribs, Qin Lang took a quick slash and swiftly segmented the spine of the roe deer and distributed it to everyone, grinning a bit, “Perhaps we can call it the roe scorpion?”

“Scorpion?” Shen Qian took the segmented spine from Qin Lang’s hand, and the image of the spine’s complete anatomy popped up in her mind.

The vertebral body, segmented and increased in width by the ribs for the upper half and narrowed, without ribs for the lower half, looked precisely like a scorpion’s body and tail.

“What an image.” She chuckled and proficiently carved the meat closely adhering to the spine, placing it in her mouth.

For any animal with a spine, the meat on both sides of the spine tends to be the most tender because that area rarely moves, allowing the muscle to stay relaxed. It also has another name, tenderloin.

Be it pork tenderloin or beef tenderloin, all refer to this part of the livestock.

The same rule even applies to wild roe deer.

Once the strip of meat near the deer’s spine entered Shen Qian’s mouth, her face sprouted a satisfied smile. Although this part of the meat was not very fatty, it was in no way chewy. The degree of tenderness and juiciness was far superior to other parts, resulting in a mouthful of rich flavor with every bite.

“Here, you guys have a taste too!” Noticing the eager eyes of her Food Spirits, Shen Qian shared the remaining meat with them, laughing.

On the other side, Qin Lang broke off a piece of vertebra and began leisurely picking the meat and marrow from in between the bones.

The marrow of the freshly killed deer, not at all gamey, melted in the mouth with a rich and unique aroma, and was also infused with an abundance of fat. It felt somewhat like tofu, but tasted even more wonderful.

After thoroughly picking the sporadic pieces of meat between the bones, not a single piece of meat was left on the complex structure of the spine, which was quite pleasing, especially to someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Watching the whole roe deer being swiftly reduced to a pile of bones, Qin Lang wiped the grease off his hands, stood up, and walked over to a pot that had been simmering on the side the whole time.

Shen Qian and Zhou Tianhao’s attention was also drawn to the snake soup because of Qin Lang’s movement.

As Qin Lang lifted the lid of the pot, a wonderful aroma of freshness wrapped in heat rapidly escaped.

Even if the surrounding area was thick with the scent of roasted roe deer, this fresh aroma wasn’t eclipsed at all. Just a sniff of it made Shen Qian and Zhou Tianhao’s eyes light up.

The taste of this soup…

Feels pretty good!

You know, this is made without adding anything, just a simple stewed snake meat soup.

“What a pity, the mountain sparrows I caught just now were a bit too few.” Qin Lang scooped a spoonful of the soup from the pot and tasted it, with a look of regret on his face, “Otherwise, if we stew a sparrow with the snake, the taste would be even better.”

Because there was no seasoning, the soup seemed very light, but the unique flavor of the snake meat had fully seeped into the soup during the long stewing process.

After adding some salt and black pepper to season, he scooped up another spoonful to taste, a satisfied expression immediately appeared on Qin Lang s face.

Just like this is enough.

“Come on, have some soup!” He quickly put out the fire, picked up the pot and placed it quickly in front of the other two people, picked up a bowl and served himself, “Quick, try it!”

Zhou Tianhao followed suit, picking up a bowl, scooped up some soup with a ladle, and then added a few pieces of snake meat to the bowl.

Looking at the snake segment that was skinnier by a circle than his forearm, the corners of his mouth could not help but twitch slightly. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Such a fat snake? It must be more than a meter long, right?

Whenever Zhou Tianhao saw such a big snake in the past, he would either detour around it or let Food Spirit kill it. He had never thought about eating it.

But smelling the pleasant aroma, which was different from the roast roe deer meat but equally appetizing, Zhou Tianhao swallowed his saliva.

Let’s taste it!

He blew on the soup in the bowl, and then carefully took a sip.

“Slurp-”

The warm soup tasted incredibly delicious in his mouth once he allowed it in, a taste Zhou Tianhao had never experienced before erupted between his lips and teeth.

The taste was different from beef, chicken, fish, or any other ingredient. With just one sip, Zhou Tianhao clearly imprinted the impression of snake meat in his mind.

The light and delicious taste effectively eliminated the greasiness of the roast roe deer meat he had just eaten. After swallowing, a wave of warmth flowed from his stomach to all over his body, bringing a sense of comfort.

No matter the seasoning or the cooking method, this bowl of snake soup didn’t involve much skill. However, the unique deliciousness of the snake meat itself made Zhou Tianhao’s face full of admiration. He didn’t know snake stew could be so delicious before.

His gaze then shifted to the snake meat pieces in the bowl.

How did the snake meat taste?

Zhou Tianhao did not hesitate to pick up a piece and put it in his mouth.

The way the snake meat is connected to the backbone is similar to the belly meat of the fish. The slender ribs and snake meat were still tightly connected after a long time of stewing.

But unlike fish meat, the texture of snake meat was more firm and chewy, which reminded him of rabbit meat.

Tasting the burst of juice in his mouth and the unique taste of snake meat, Zhou Tianhao’s eyes quickly brightened up.

A new avenger was born in this world.
