Chapter 646: Looking For Trouble

Translator: Nyoi-Bo StudioEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Li Du was planning to cook beggar's chicken and veal shanks. This time around, he brought out a lot of meat as working in the wilderness was tiring and hence, required the consumption of meat for nourishment.

He aptly used the soil that was dug out when digging the pit to make mud by mixing water into it. In the truck were large banana leaves that he had found in the garden. After slicing open the stomach of the marinated chicken, he placed a packet of seasoning inside and used the banana leaves to wrap it before sealing it with mud. All that was left to do was to bury it inside the pit and the preparations were complete.

Roasting veal shanks required a lot of skill as it was very easy to charr the shanks when cooking with an open flame.

As such, Li Du used a knife to slice open the center of the shanks and smeared the inside with butter that had been frozen solid. He then brushed a layer of butter onto the surface of the veal shanks, skewered them, and then roasted them while rotating the skewer.

The butter melted very quickly. It either slipped into the shanks or dripped onto the flame, which produced a sizzling sound and caused the flame to grow.

Li Du anxiously rotated the veal shanks in order to prevent the outer layer from charring. As the temperature of the flame was hard to control, it was inevitable that he fumbled a little.

Seeing this, Brother Wolf took the initiative to take over the skewer by extending his hand, and said, ”Let me.”

The heavy skewer was like a toy in his hand. Although he rotated the skewer at a slow pace, it was rhythmic. In some areas where the meat was tender, he would rotate them away after heating them for a while. In the areas where the meat was thicker, he would heat them for a longer time.

Very soon, the aroma of the veal filled the air.

Brother Wolf waved. ”Bring a plate over.”

Li Du brought over a square iron plate. Brother Wolf took out the veal shanks, held a dagger close to the top of the veal, and brought the dagger to life.

Without moving his wrist, his fingers continuously moved the hilt of the dagger. The blade of the dagger moved up and down the veal and sliced off pieces of veal speedily. The slices of veal were similar in size and as thin as a cicada's wing.

Godzilla, who was at the side, could not help but remark, ”Great knife skills!”

Brother Wolf gave a faint smile as a reply. Ivana whispered, ”My dad can use a knife well . . . ”

”Thank you.” Brother Wolf was very polite to his daughter.

Ivana continued, ”It's just that the dishes he cooks are not nice.”

Brother Wolf was speechless.

Li Du and Godzilla burst into laughter.

After slicing off a layer of veal, Brother Wolf continued roasting. Li Du served the food to Godzilla and Ivana so they could eat first. Ah Meow and the other two animals were the most enthusiastic about eating and came running over with plates in their mouths before staring intently at the veal with glistening eyes.

They had waited for a very long time and would definitely not miss this opportunity to eat.

However, as they did not need to eat cooked meat, Brother Wolf, while roasting, gave them half-cooked veal. Although the veal, which had a few streaks of blood, looked disgusting, they ate it with relish.

At this point in time, Brother Wolf's exquisite knife skills were even more noticeable. With only one hand holding the skewer and the other working the dagger, the veal that was sliced off would not fall into the flames. When each slice of veal was about to fall, Brother Wolf would twist the dagger for the slice to fall securely onto it before tending to it.

When all the veal had been sliced off, Brother Wolf roasted the calf's bones and used the dagger to cut out the ligaments, which he would then throw to Ah Ow.

Seeing such fragrant big bones, Ah Ow launched forward and dived head first into the heap of bones and let out a blissful expression on her plump face. She was simply intoxicated.

After the veal shanks were roasted, Li Du took out the beggar's chicken that was buried underneath the fire.

As the mud was burnt and dry, he used a rock to smash it open, which revealed the steaming hot banana leaves inside.

After peeling away the vibrant green leaves, there was chicken inside, which had meat that was tender and white as snow. On the outside of the chicken was a layer of translucent chicken oil that was glistening. The fragrance of the chicken filled the air.

Li Du took a drumstick for the little girl and said, ”It's a little bit hot, eat slowly.”

Although the little girl's expression was hesitant due to her holding the drumstick, it was blissful enough for her to squint her large eyes into crescent moon shapes.

Godzilla took the beer out. Brother Wolf did not drink beer and only drank water.
