Chapter 185 What!?
The bonfire was bright.
Everyone was talking, full of hope and joy for the future.
A lot of crabs were caught, and Zhou Manman didn't want to make things difficult, so he just asked everyone to boil water and cook the crabs. Since there was no pot, Yuan had to smash a large piece of stone to make a stone pot. Not only did the stone heat up slowly, the whole stone was hot. Also, because there were quite a lot of crabs, they had to be cooked in several batches.
Zhou Manman simply let the males do it, and she found a hidden place to secretly take out the seasonings in the space and put them into an animal skin bag.
Along the way, they also exchanged animal skins and other items for some other things.
Compared to the previous forest, there are many more types of spices here, and many females eat them. For example, ginger is often used by females to remove odors, unlike before when it was only used as a medicinal ingredient.
If it was collected from tribes along the way, it seems to make sense.
Zhou Manman didn’t plan to make anything else, just a dipping sauce would be delicious.
Chop the garlic finely, add sesame oil, salt, chili, and some onions for color, and it will look greasy.
An Linna was looking at the dish of condiments prepared by Zhou Manman. It was a big bamboo tube and smelled both fragrant and pungent, which was very strange.
Seeing the curious looks of Anlina and Tarasha, Zhou Manman handed them some. The two of them dipped some with their hands. Their eyes lit up and they looked at each other, "How can we eat all this? I always feel that it lacks some flavor."
Zhou Manman smiled faintly and said nothing.
What's missing? Of course it's sour!
However, only salt apple is sour. Adding salt apple can also provide sour taste, but the taste may not be so delicious.
Aged vinegar and pickled vegetable paste can both provide sour taste. It’s not difficult to make them. You can look for them when the time comes.
After a while of preparing the sauce, the crabs were cooked.
The full pot is scooped out and becomes golden and shiny, emitting bursts of steam.
Yuan stretched out his hand and scooped out the crabs from the pot one by one. Sweat appeared on his forehead, but apart from some redness on his hands, there was nothing wrong with him.
Zhou Manman felt a pain in his hand when he saw this, and he secretly complained: What a ruthless and iron-handed person.
The crabs were steaming and very hot, in order to demonstrate it to everyone as quickly as possible.
Zhou Manman picked up a crab that was barely big enough to fit in both hands.
Zhou Manman first took off the crab gills. The crab gills were white and if you were not careful you might eat them. However, the crab gills were very dirty. Thinking of this, Zhou Manman simply held them up and said, "Look everyone, this thing is called a crab. Now I will tell you how to eat it."
"Tsk, you really want to eat it? You're just trying to show off!" Millie looked at Zhou Manman. She didn't believe it. This thing was really edible. It was all hard shells. Even if it was edible, could it be as delicious as meat? Zhou Manman was really crazy. She didn't eat the good meat, but messed with this thing with hard shells.
Millie was about to say something when she was suddenly met with an unfriendly gaze. She looked over and met a pair of extremely calm but threatening eyes.
Xiao Mi's lips curled slightly and his narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
Millie's heart suddenly started pounding, and she didn't say what she wanted to say.
Zhou Manman didn't hear what Millie said. She held up the crab and said seriously, "This is the crab gill. Don't be fooled by the meat inside. This thing is very dirty. All the dirt on the crab is here, and it has accumulated a lot of things that are easy to get infected."
"Infection? Is it the same infectious disease as before?"
"No, no, it's just that eating this will easily cause worms to grow in your stomach."
Upon hearing this, the females' faces suddenly changed. The deworming medicine was very unpalatable, fishy, smelly and bitter.
"Except for here, the crab heart, anus, intestines and crab mouth, you can eat every other part."
Some females looked unhappy. They had been picking them up for so long, but they couldn't eat this or that. Wasn't this a joke on them? They would get sick easily if they ate them. What was the use of these things?
But he had already picked it up, and there was no other way. Could he really ask Zhou Manman to compensate him for something?
Thinking of this, he got even angrier, "You lied to us. You told us we could eat it, so we picked it up."
Zhou Manman nodded, "It's edible, try it."
As she spoke, she handed over the inedible parts in her hand. The female hesitated for a moment, feeling unwilling, so she took it and stuffed it into her mouth again.
I chewed it twice and felt a crunching sound in my mouth. The food burst with each bite. It tasted fresh and fragrant and was not bad.
His expression calmed down a bit.
He nodded to the females around him, "It's edible."
Seeing this, Zhou Manman took out the sauce and said, "Dip it in this and eat it."
The female did not hesitate and immediately took out a crab from a pile of crabs. She removed the inedible parts following Zhou Manman's example, and then took the lead in dipping it in the sauce.
When you take a bite, you will find the flavor is rich and the taste is rich. When you put it in your mouth, it is smooth and has a slightly salty ocean flavor. The fresh and delicate taste of the sauce blends perfectly with the crab meat. After eating it, you will only feel a slight numbness in your mouth, but it is full of aftertaste.
"Is it tasty?"
Some females couldn't help but ask.
She shook her head. "It's just so-so."
As he spoke, he quickly started to peel one off.
The females immediately understood, screamed and came forward to grab the crabs.
Those in the front could see Zhou Manman's movements clearly and knew how to eat, but those in the back couldn't see clearly. Ask others, they all looked like starving ghosts. They couldn't see clearly because their movements were too fast, so they didn't care. They ate the whole thing and spit out the ones that didn't taste good. Anyway, the worst result was a bug, which was no big deal.
In a flash, the freshly cooked crabs were snatched away.
Millie, who had just found a place to pee, came back triumphantly. She saw the noisy crowd from afar and thought that Zhou Manman must be being scolded by everyone. Even if Xiaomi protected her, would Xiaomi dare to go against all the females in the tribe because of her?
Thinking of this, Millie felt refreshed all over.
Boost.
When I got closer and looked around, I didn't see Zhou Manman, but I saw a female Kashiwan.
I used to curse Tarasha with her.
So he took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "I think Zhou Manman didn't do it on purpose, so let's calm down. I told you that thing can't be eaten. Well, I don't know what Zhou Manman was thinking. She tricked everyone into finding her something, and it was a crab that would pinch people."
She spoke a little louder, "Everyone, don't be angry. After all, our two tribes have just merged into one. We are certainly not as good as Zhou Manman. If her beastly husband finds out, I'm afraid he will cause trouble for us again."
Millie's tone was extremely aggrieved.
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head pretending to be sad.
