Chapter 842 - Untitled (2/2)

Bai Qingqing smiled. “I was merely casually mentioning it. Even if you wish to roast it that way, I’d be unwilling.”

She cast a glance to the side, where Curtis was taking care of An’an. She picked up a piece of rendered fat with her “chopsticks” and patiently blew upon it, reducing the temperature from hot to warm, before walking over to his side.

“You should try this too. It’s really yummy.”

Seeing at the look of anticipation on her face, Curtis obligingly opened his mouth and ate it.

“How do you find it?”

Bai Qingqing stared eagerly at him. Hearing him respond with an “Mm”, a broad beam bloomed on her face.

The fragrance of oil made An’an look up and gaze around too.

Bai Qingqing sputtered with laughter. She tapped An’an on her tiny nose and said, “You want to eat this too? Hmm, that won’t do. You only have two teeth. You can only eat meat when all your teeth grow out.”

She still remembered that time the leopard cubs got diarrhea from eating meat when they were only a few months old. Since even male cubs would suffer from indigestion from eating meat, female cubs naturally needed to be cared for more meticulously.

But An’an seemed particularly fond of this taste. When she sniffed the fragrance emitting from her mommy’s mouth as the latter spoke, she smacked her lips and reached out her little arms to touch her mommy’s mouth.

Heart softening, Bai Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then brought a tree branch stained with a bit of oil and brought it to An’an’s lips.

An’an bit the tree branch and started sucking in relish.

By then, the roast meat was ready. Bai Qingqing quickly went back to the fire and prepared to eat.

As the tree worms had very little lean meat, that was only enough for Bai Qingqing to eat. But the meat was incredibly tender and succulent, like cooked meat coated with starch.

She would eat a mouthful of roast meat, then chew two mouthfuls of rendered fat. Even though there was no salt, Bai Qingqing ate with great satisfaction.

Parker had extracted all the oil from the fatty clam meat. The pieces of rendered fat were also wrapped up using tree leaves to be brought home.

As it was tedious carrying the two pots of hot oil, Parker said to Curtis, “You bring Qingqing and An’an back first. I’ll go back by myself.”
