The Heavens: Apprenticeship to Little Dragon Girl at the beginning

Chapter 56

Everyone looked at the black bear brought back by Li Yuan and Hong Qigong, their eyes were full of shock.

Even the always calm Li Mochou stared at the black bear that Li Yuan carried back with surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"Yuan'er, is this the wild game you mentioned? But it's too big!" Xiao Longnu said.

The black bear that Li Yuan hunted was as tall as two people, and its body was extremely fat. If it was disassembled to make bacon, it would be enough for everyone present to survive this winter.

Yang Guo and Hong Lingbo were even more curious. Hong Lingbo stepped forward to test whether the black bear was dead, and poked the black bear's head twice with his finger.

There were no black bear lovers present, and no one thought it was wrong to kill bears.

After all, in the Qinling Mountains where Huashan is located, wild animals such as mountain tigers, black bears, etc. often do evil.

These mountain beasts often attack woodcutters and farmers who go up the mountain to cut firewood. Even in winter, when they lack food, they will come down the mountain and break into the village to attack the villagers.

I don't know how many people die under their claws every year.

Li Yuan's hunting of bears today is actually beneficial to the local people.

Hong Qigong said with a smile at this time: "Haha, little girl, there are a lot of black bears in this entire mountain range. I eat a lot of things like pheasants and old beggars on weekdays. This is the first time for black bears. What are you waiting for?" What? Let's light the fire and cook?"

As soon as Hong Qigong said this, Xiao Longnv and others all looked at Li Yuan.

Xiaolongnu is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but her five fingers are not touched by Yang Chunshui, except that she can't cook.

Li Mochou's martial arts skills are superb, and she is good at using ice and silver needles. She is well-known in the world, but her cooking skills are also worrying.

Although Yang Guo and Hong Lingbo could make some simple food, in Li Yuan's opinion, the craftsmanship was so poor that it was unsightly, and the food they made could only fill one's stomach.

So after Grandma Sun passed away, Li Yuan was in charge of cooking in the group.

But fortunately, Li Yuan has the memory before time travel, and with more than a year of training in the ancient tomb, now Li Yuan can basically be regarded as half a chef.

Hong Qigong looked at Li Yuan, and he unexpectedly asked, "You know how to cook?"

Although it is not surprising that children from ordinary families can cook at this age, for a young man like Li Yuan who has mastered martial arts, it is a bit rare to be able to cook.

"A little bit."

Li Yuan thought for a while, the best way to learn martial arts from Hong Qigong is to start with his gluttony.

Today's meal must not be perfunctory.

So Li Yuan instructed Yang Guo: "You and Hong Lingbo ride horses to the nearby villages to buy some seasonings for cooking meat. If there is an iron pot, buy a big iron pot. By the way, buy a few catties of good local wine. Today I will cook a whole pot of bear feast for everyone, and have a good meal."

Then Li Yuan turned his head to look at Xiaolongnv and Li Mochou: "Master and uncle, please go to the nearby stream to catch some fish and come back. They say you can't have both fish and bear's paws. Today I will try to get both." And good food."

After that, Li Yuan started to deal with the black bear.

He used a long sword instead of a kitchen knife, cut a long line along the center of the black bear's belly, took out the heart and liver and other internal organs to dry on one side, then chopped off the four bear paws and placed them on the other side.

Then Li Yuan carefully cut the fat pork belly, tenderloin, and thigh meat from the bear's body separately, and put them on the stone slab beside him for later use.

Not long after, Yang Guo and Hong Lingbo came back with their things.

Bear meat is game, and it is much more fishy than ordinary pork and mutton. If the fishy smell is not removed, no matter how you cook it, it will be unpalatable.

So Li Yuansheng lit a fire, put the strong wine and many seasonings in the iron pot first, so as to remove the fishy smell from the bear meat.

Especially the internal organs of heart and liver and bear's paw, the fishy smell is stronger than the meat outside. Li Yuan carefully removed the fishy smell several times, and finally got rid of the fishy smell.

After seven or eight hours passed, the moon fell on the mountains, and the sky was full of stars.

Xiao Longnu and Li Mochou also rushed back, they brought a lot of wild vegetables and fruits from the mountains and forests, as well as a few big fat carp.

Bear's paws are the most difficult to handle. Even if the iron pot is heated under a high fire, it cannot be stewed soft in a short time.

In order to speed up the cooking process, Li Yuan covered the iron pot, spread his palms, and covered the iron pot with his inner energy of nine yangs to increase the pressure inside the pot, forming a crude version of a pressure cooker.

Seeing Li Yuan's way of cooking like this, Hong Qigong raised his evaluation of Li Yuan's strength to a new level.

As long as Li Yuan's internal force is weaker, he can't cover the entire iron pot with his own internal force, and if the quality of the internal force is not strong enough, it will not be able to form pressure in the pot and speed up the process of cooking the meat.

After about half an hour passed.

A series of gluttonous feasts were finally served on the stone table.

Braised bear meat in brown sauce, steamed bear ribs in powder, sweet and sour bear tenderloin, Mushu bear meat, cold fungus bear ears, stir-fried bear heart and liver slices
Of course, there is the most important dish, Li Yuan's original fish and bear's paw.

This dish is cooked together by the fattest right paw of the black bear and the big fresh carp in the stream. The moment it was served on the stone table, even Hong Qigong, who has traveled all over the world and eaten the famous food in the world, looked straight at him .

The bear's paws are fat and tender, paired with the big carp underneath, not only looks good, but also the fragrance it emits makes the mouth water.

"Senior, please!"

"Haha, I'm not being polite to you, old beggar!"

Hong Qigong is greedy for food, Li Yuan's outstanding culinary skills just hit his vital point, he couldn't wait long ago.

When the rest of the people saw Hong Qigong moving their chopsticks, they stopped being polite and started to move one after another.

Under the quiet night sky of Mount Hua, people gathered around stone tables and fires, ate bear meat delicacies, and sipped aged wines, all of which were forgotten for a moment.

Even Xiao Longnv, who never drank alcohol, had a couple of drinks under Li Yuan's persuasion. Her fair face became flushed, and she looked extremely beautiful under the light of the fire.

The dozen or so dishes that Li Yuan cooked were eaten up by everyone in the end, not even a piece of meat wasted.

After Hong Qigong was full, he gulped down the fine wine, his face full of satisfaction.

He smiled and said to Li Yuan: "It's a pity not to be a cook with your culinary skills. It's the first time I have eaten such a delicious whole bear feast, old beggar! No regrets in this life, no regrets in this life! "

I took a few more sips of wine.

With a bit of drunkenness on his face, Hong Qigong smiled and said to Li Yuan: "My old beggar does not eat free food. I have a golden dart here. Although it is a bit small, it is enough to pay for this meal."

As he spoke, he took out a gold dart from his pocket and handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan is quite familiar with this plot. Hong Qigong used this golden dart to test Guo Jing back then, but he didn't expect that Hong Qigong would still use this golden dart to test him today.

But the most important thing Li Yuan lacked was money. After all, there were tens of thousands of taels of silver left by Wang Chongyang in the ancient tomb.

Seeing that Li Yuan did not accept the golden darts, Hong Qigong said in a half-drunk manner, "In that case, I can only teach you a martial art, old beggar, to repay the kindness of the hospitality."
