Chapter 408 - Half a Month Later (1/2)

“Do you still have the remnants of the prey that you’ve eaten earlier?”

“I threw them by the riverside. It was still there earlier. Why?” Parker threw a strange glaze at her, wondering what one could do with the remnants.

“You want to drink bone soup?”

“No, I just recalled that you don’t eat the hooves, and I’m thinking of braising hooves to eat. If that prey’s remnants are still around, then we can just cook them.”

Parker’s mouth twitched. “I had always felt that my mother’s preference for food when she was pregnant was strange, but I didn’t expect that yours is even more strange. To be honest, I haven’t seen anyone eating the hooves from their hunts before.”

Even aged beastmen starving to death would only chew on the bones that others threw away after eating. No one would chew on the hooves. Some animals’ legs could be eaten, but hooves were just a few pieces of tough shells. They were probably inedible even if they were cooked.

“How’s that strange? I didn’t recall this in the past, but hooves are quite delicious. Most importantly, they can help to promote lactation.” Bai Qingqing insisted. “Quickly go. I’m out of milk. Third is still hungry.”

Parker ran to the riverside doubtfully.

The hunt this time around was a deer. Parker saw that there was still some meat left on the deer’s legs and thus broke them off. After cleaning them up, he carried them back in a stone basin.

Bai Qingqing stared at the pot and waited anxiously as the legs were braised.

It would take a while for the soup to be done. Third was going to have to miss this meal. After he was tired from the crying, he fell asleep next to Bai Qingqing.

It was only two hours later that the hooves had softened a little, and a layer of oil floated up to the top.

Bai Qingqing couldn’t wait and took a sip. They were out of condiments, so it didn’t taste too good. It tasted fishy and greasy.

Parker was surprised. “I didn’t expect the hooves to be able to produce so much fat after cooking.”

“Of course. It’s all skin, and there are a lot of fats.” Bai Qingqing chewed on the hooves and spoke in a muffled voice.
