*Sizzle sizzle…* The Ferocious Beast Meat crackled on the stone slab as it cooked. As the fire grew stronger, the meat released waves of delicious aroma.
Su Bai sat at the head position in front of the bonfire, looking at the fragrant Ferocious Beast Meat, asking curiously, “I wonder how the meat of the Six Eyed Red Bird tastes?”
“This kind of meat has a bit of a tough texture when eaten,” Cang Shi explained.
Previously, when he was not yet the Team Leader of the Hunting Team, he had eaten this kind of meat before, but the taste was not very appealing.
“I can guess why,” Su Bai blinked his black eyes.
According to what they said, this Ferocious Beast was known for its speed. Those long legs must have done a lot of running. The meat of frequently running animals was typically much firmer. Eating it would definitely be different from the meat of Ferocious Beasts with more fat in them.
Yan Jiao pointed at the Ferocious Beast Meat on the tree leaves on the ground and said, “Shaman, there are many other types of Ferocious Beast Meat. If you don’t like the Six Eyed Red Bird meat, you can eat others.”
“It’s fine, let’s try it first.” Su Bai waved his hand.
Yu Ying was pouring water for Su Bai beside him, her pink eyes staring intently at the Ferocious Beast Meat on the stone slab.
The aroma wafting out was indeed mouth-watering, but the fox eared girl no longer dared to eat it.
Last time, she only ate two pieces and had a nosebleed, but it was also a blessing in disguise as she received a lot of attention from the Shaman.
“Xiao Yu, bring out the chilli sauce and salt. It should make this Ferocious Beast Meat taste a lot better,” Su Bai instructed.
Yu Ying came back to her senses and nodded, saying, “Yes. I’ll go get them now.”
A few minutes later, the fox eared girl returned with the chilli sauce and salt.
“Shaman, let me brush some on the meat for you,” Yu Ying said as she opened the lid of the chilli sauce.
“Okay. There’s a lot of meat, you should brush it evenly. It’s okay if there’s more chilli sauce.” Su Bai reminded.
Yu Ying nodded heavily, using a tree leaf to dip some chilli sauce and brush it back and forth on the Ferocious Beast Meat.
The fox eared girl evenly brushed the chilli sauce, then poured some salt into her palm and started sprinkling it on the meat bit by bit.
*Sizzle sizzle…* With the addition of chilli sauce and salt, the meat sizzled more vigorously, and the aroma became even more intense. The initial bloody smell was gone, replaced by a blend of meaty and chilli fragrance. It certainly made one’s mouth water.
Yan Jiao watched the fox eared girl’s actions with a puzzled face and asked. “Xiao Yu, what are you doing?”
“Brushing chilli sauce! It makes its taste a lot better,” Yu Ying explained.
“Chilli sauce? What’s that?” Yan Jiao asked in confusion.
Su Bai took a sip of water and said, “Oh, this is a seasoning I concocted. It can make grilled meat taste better.”
He does not intend to hide it from them. After all, once the chilli peppers grow, chilli sauce would be widely available sooner or later.
“So it’s concocted by the Shaman, then it must taste very good.” Cang Shi was now anticipating its taste.
Yan Jiao blinked his red eyes, watching the chilli sauce jumping on the meat, and curiously asked, “Shaman, is there a lot of this thing called chilli sauce?”
“It takes time to concoct chilli sauce. This is the only one left for now.” Su Bai shrugged.
He could only use this excuse, who knows when the next chilli sauce would be produced? Only Heaven knows when the chilli seeds that were just planted could be harvested. In fact, he did not even know if they had sprouted yet.
“I see…” Yan Jiao was a bit disappointed, thinking that if there was more, he could trade it for other things.
*Sizzle sizzle…* The chilli sauce began to slowly and fully integrate into the Ferocious Beast Meat, releasing an increasingly strong aroma.
Cang Shi used a wooden stick to poke a large piece of meat and passed it over, cheerfully saying, “Shaman, this big piece of meat is all yours.”
Su Bai looked at the large piece of meat in front of him, smiling and shaking his head. With his appetite, how could he possibly eat so much?
That piece of meat, if calculated by Earth standards, would be enough for two people. He quickly stopped Yan Jiao’s hand from passing him the meat.
“No need, this piece is enough for me,” Su Bai refused.
Although eating more Ferocious Beast Meat and Blood would increase the amount of Qi in him, his appetite was just not as big as Yan Jiao and the others.
Cang Shi ate a large piece of Ferocious Beast Meat and said contentedly, “Shaman, there’s still a lot of Ferocious Beast Meat, let me grill some more for you.”
“Em. You guys eat quickly. This one piece is enough for me.” Su Bai took a bite of the bird meat.
After chewing a few times, he had an indescribable feeling. Although there was chilli sauce, the taste of the meat was not very good.
“Okay.” Cang Shi and the others lowered their heads and ate earnestly.
After swallowing a piece of meat, Yan Jiao widened his red eyes and said in surprise, “This meat tastes much better than last time.”
He unhesitatingly picked up a second piece and sent it into his mouth, enjoying this special flavour.
“It’s true, after adding this thing called chilli sauce, although it’s a taste I’ve never tried before, I really like it.” Cang Shi said with delight.
Yan Jiao swallowed the second piece of meat and exclaimed in surprise, “Shaman, besides the taste of chilli sauce, why don’t I feel the bitter taste of salt?”
“Yes, is the Shaman’s salt different? There’s no bitter taste in it.” Cang Shi also praised the taste.
Su Bai remembered that the salt they used was not refined and was still bitter. So, when added to grilled meat, it also had a hint of bitterness to it. He succinctly explained, “I’ve treated this salt, so it’s naturally different.”
“Shaman, then… can all the salt in our Tribe be treated?” Yan Jiao asked with anticipation.
Su Bai’s mouth twitched a few times, and he explained, “Not for now. Maybe after some time.”
“Alright, but the taste of this Ferocious Beast Meat after adding your salt is really good.” Yan Jiao repeatedly praised.
“Does it really taste that good?” Su Bai asked, secretly relieved. Currently, the Tribe did not have refined salt, but Yan Jiao’s words reminded him how it was time to solve this issue.
As for the Ferocious Beast Meat in hand, he could not say that he liked it. This kind of Ferocious Beast Meat had a texture like he was chewing wax. Its taste was also only slightly improved with the chilli sauce.
But, he could understand why the rest held no complaints. After all, they had always eaten grilled meat. Suddenly adding authentic salt and chilli sauce would inevitably make it taste a lot better for them.
