As he had captured a fat and juicy prey, breakfast took quite some time.

Parker had caught a basin-full of clams in the river, and using the clamshells as a pot, managed to somehow extract the oil.

The fragrance of oil permeated the entire house, making Bai Qingqing’s mouth water as she squatted beside the fire.

“There’s no salt. No choice but to make do with this meal.” Parker flipped over the lean meat on the roast as he spoke, his other hand stirring the oil pot with a wooden rod.

“Smells aromatic nonetheless.” Bai Qingqing slurped in her saliva. Unable to hold back the glutton in her anymore, she got up, ran outside the house, and broke off a tree branch.

After wiping it in a slipshod manner, she snapped the tree branch into two and dipped these makeshift chopsticks into the oil pot.

“I’ll give it a try first.” Bai Qingqing picked out a piece of puffed up rendered fat pieces and immediately placed it into her mouth.

Parker said, “Careful, it’s hot.”

“Mm,” Bai Qingqing responded. She blew upon it twice, then eagerly took a small bite of it.

Despite the scalding sensation, Bai Qingqing drew in a gasp and continued eating. The rendered fat was fragrant and crispy, truly a delicacy. If there was salt, it would be perfect.

“Is it good?” Parker asked with a look of anticipation.

Bai Qingqing hurriedly nodded, then fed the remaining rendered fat to him.

With a roar, Parker held it in his mouth and started relishing in it.

“In the past, we would always roast it directly. The oil that drips out can make the flames surge up and completely envelop the food. After eating, the aroma of oil would linger in the fire pile, and the ground would be moistened by oil.”

As Parker spoke, he shook his head in pity. “Back then I had thought that the more oil on the ground, the better. Thinking back, it was truly a waste.”

Bai Qingqing nodded in agreement seriously. “But I feel that it was quite a magnificent sight to see you guys eat like that. I kind of feel like seeing that.”

“That won’t do. There’s so much oil, I need to keep some and cook meat for you,” Parker instantly said.
