Chapter 285: Roasted Deer

[Extra Chapter]

After quickly agreeing to travel together, two roasted sparrows and several roasted fish were soon devoured down to the bones by the three people and eight food spirits.

Even though the roasted fish was not as eye-catching as the roasted sparrows, the unique marination by Qin Lang and the exquisite control over the fire by Dan Bao had won unanimous acclaim.

“Don’t need two cooks in the kitchen, you’ll handle the roe deer!” Zhou Tianhao gave the roe deer to Qin Lang without a second thought.

Although he could cook roe deer, he was ninety percent sure that his wouldn’t come out nearly as delicious as Qin Lang’s. So, it was better that Qin Lang did it.

“No problem!” Having weighed the nearly 40kg roe deer, Qin Lang quickly formulated a plan and walked towards the creek.

Zhou Tianhao scanned the surroundings, his gaze quickly fixating on a steaming pot that seemed to be cooking something.

Because the lid was on, the fragrance wafting out was faint, but he could still discern it as some kind of food.

“What’s this?” He asked out of curiosity.

After eating the roasted sparrow and fish, Shen Qian didn’t feel as guarded against Zhou Tianhao as she did before. Recalling the ingredients in the pan, her face filled with anticipation.

I wonder how Zhou would react when he finds out it’s snake meat?

“Inside is snake meat, we hunted a really long snake on our way!” She gestured with her hands to emphasize the snake’s size, then pointed to the pot, beaming, “Qin Lang said you can eat snake meat, and then it ended up like this.”

Zhou Tianhao: “???”

Hearing that the pot contained snake meat, his expression subtly changed.

When he was young, before he became a spiritual chef, he once got bitten by a snake while playing in a rural field.

His wound had swollen tremendously and quickly turned black and blue. Zhou Tianhao felt dizzy all over. If his family hadn’t promptly taken him to a hospital for treatment, he might have been in mortal danger.

Given this past experience, even though Zhou Tianhao now was a highly skilled spiritual chef, he still had a psychological fear of snakes.

In his mind, snakes were crafty creatures. Most of them poisonous, and even the non-poisonous ones were still quite dangerous, and needed to be kept at a distance.

They are edible?

Watching Zhou Tianhao’s changing expressions, Shen Qian found a peculiar pleasure.

Finally, I’m not the only one shocked!

“What are you guys talking about?” While the two were engaged in conversation, Qin Lang had finished preparing the roe deer. With one hand carrying the deer and the other holding all the intact fur.

“How did you kill it, Zhou? The insides of the roe deer are all shattered, but there’s not a single scratch on its skin.” As he spoke of his findings during food preparation, Qin Lang expressed his amazement.

It looked somewhat like the internal force described in the martial arts novels of his previous life. How powerful!

“A combination of the Combat Skills Instant Teleportation and Thought Waves,” Zhou Tianhao replied casually. “It allows the attacks powered by Thought Power to bypass obstacles, and achieve unexpected effects.”

Dan Bao and Spicy suddenly perked up their ears.

Instant Teleportation and Thought Waves?!

They had these skills!

However, their ears quickly drooped again.

They had them, but only one each.

So these two combat skills can form a combination?

Qin Lang found this intriguing.

However, before he could ask anything else, Zhou Tianhao raised a question.

“Can you really eat snake meat?”

Upon hearing this question, Qin Lang realized that Shen Qian must have told Zhou Tianhao what was simmering in the pot.

“Yes, you can.” He nodded earnestly in affirmation.

“Will it taste any good?” Zhou Tianhao appeared skeptical.

“Don’t worry, the taste of snake meat is superb. We just need to properly handle the snake venom and parasites.” Qin Lang grinned, “In fact, snake meat dishes are not uncommon in the northern regions like Song Sheng Province and Yunyang State.”

The knowledge he gained from Ye Cangqing’s notes greatly bolstered the credibility of his words.

“I see.” Zhou Tianhao seemed far more relaxed.

Since there are people in other provinces cooking with snake meat, it must be edible.

His fear of snake meat turned into heightened anticipation at that moment.

The snake bites itself, and I eat the snake’s meat.

Reasonable, all too reasonable.

I must try the taste of snake meat later on!

Shen Qian on the side also looked more expectant.

Song Sheng Province and Yunyang State are too far from Mingjing Province, both north and south, she certainly can’t go in a short time.

Trying the snake soup made by Qin Lang is also an experience of the northern cuisine!

After all, in her view, since Qin Lang could say these things, his way of cooking the snake must have referenced the northern cooking methods.

Looking at the two people with expectations, Qin Lang shook his head helplessly, “Don’t rush, let’s roast the roe deer first.”

“After finishing the roe deer, the snake soup will be about ready.”

While speaking, Qin Lang took out a foldable metal grill from his bag, opened the roe deer along its rib cages, and flattened it on the grill as if whole-roasting a lamb.

“How about a whole roast roe?” He was somewhat excited.

In his previous life, roe deer were second-class protected animals and he had no opportunity to try cooking them.

Now, there’s no need to worry about this, which is quite nice.

Zhou Tianhao observed carefully and nodded secretly.

Roasting the roe deer this way will ensure the heat is evenly distributed, preventing it from being undercooked.

Just this little trick is worth learning.

After tying up the roe deer, Qin Lang prepared the marinating sauce, made a few cuts in the thicker parts of the meat, and started to apply the marinade.

“Spicy, speed up.”

This time, Qin Lang did not wait since marinating this size of roe deer will not be short.

Under the acceleration of Spicy’s cooking, the marinating process was quickly completed.

“Dan Bao, fire!”

“Gurgle!”

No problem!

Dan Bao begins to get busy.

This time, it not only provides the flame for grilling, but also uses thought power to suspend the roe deer on the grill in the air, and slowly rotates it together with the grill.

If you look closely, you can see that there is an invisible thought force outside the grill, trapping all the heat inside, just like a sealed oven.

Not to mention Shen Qian, even Zhou Tianhao, who had the battle skill of thought waves, looked at Qin Lang weirdly.

Are thought waves really a battle skill?

Next to Zhou Tianhao, the four-star food spirit that mastered thought waves looked at Dan Bao, showing a contemplative expression.

I’ve wasted my learning!

As time ticked away, under Dan Bao’s intense heat and Spicy’s occasional cooking acceleration, the surface of the roe deer glowed with a bright sheen of oil, giving it a visually enticing golden hue.

“It should be almost done,” Qin Lang murmured.

As his words fell, Dan Bao released the thought barrier that had been trapping the heat.

The rich aroma, also trapped inside, swept across the area like a bomb exploding, causing both Zhou Tianhao and Shen Qian, who had been eagerly awaiting, to swallow hard.

This smell…

I want to eat!
