Bai Qingqing put her hands over her stomach and said pitifully, “But I’m hungry. I want to eat something…” Suddenly thinking of Parker’s disgust with rice, Bai Qingqing quickly changed her tone: “Ah no, I want to eat meat.”
Parker’s heart softened and said, “I’ll go hunting now and catch a smaller prey.”
Bai Qingqing is not used to troubling others. It was a long way to go to the forest. She can’t bear to let Parker run so far, so she replies, “Is there anything to eat near here? Are there any fish in the river? “
“You even eat fish? It’s so bad!” Parker stared at Bai Qingqing incredulously, suddenly thought of something, and then said, “Well, it makes sense. You are ape and an omnivore, so you still like fish.”
Parker still can’t believe it. The fish is too stinky to eat. The meat always has full of spikes. How can he eat it? They will only catch a big fish when they need fish bones. The meat is thrown into the river to feed the fishes. Only incapable beasts that can’t hunt will eat the fish to satisfy their hunger.
“The fish is delicious.” Bai Qingqing was also full of doubts about the fish’s taste. But was relieved when she remembers there was no seasoning for the barbecue here to add flavor. “If you put some spices, it will be delicious.”
“If you like it, I’ll go down the river and catch fish. It is easy to catch. I’ll be back soon.” Parker finished, regardless of Bai Qingqing’s presence, he took off his fur skirt and ran out in a shape of a beast.
Bai Qingqing is used to Parker’s private parts now, so she blushes for a while, then felt nonchalant after.
Soon, a wet leopard came back with a one meter long fish in its mouth, leaving a string of plum shaped wet footprints along the road.
Bai Qingqing looked at it and knew it was Parker from the familiar look of the other party. She said with a smile, “You’re so fast.”
Parker spits the fish, which has been ripped open but still alive, to the side. He proudly raises his leopard’s head and turns back into human. As he changed, the water in the hair was instantly squeezed out of the body.
“Hula—” the ground under Parker’s feet was drenched.
Bai Qingqing consciously turned her head to avoid looking at the thing under him.
Parker put on his animal fur skirt, lit a fire in the shade by the door, and then asked Bai Qingqing, “We had the sandalwood roasted meat yesterday, and today we use the pinewood flavor.”
“Okay.” Bai Qingqing is very interested in those firewoods. In the future, she can combine them with the cooking methods from Earth to create more delicious food.
Parker took out the green oil-like branches that resembles paulownia tree, and put it on the fire. He saw that the fresh wood ignited as soon as it touched the fire, as if it had been poured with oil, and the smoke rose with a fresh smell of oil.
Bai Qingqing was amazed. It turns out that the firewood is from a tree rich in oil. There are such incredible species in this world.
Parker was about to roast the fish when Bai Qingqing came back to her senses and shouted, “Wait!”
“What?” Parker looks back at Bai Qingqing.
“You just roast it like that?” Bai Qingqing broke out in a cold sweat and said: “Don’t you scrape the scales? Do you not take out the gills? “
Although she didn’t cook much, she helped her mother in the kitchen a lot. It would be her job to prepare the fish: slicing it open, scrape scales, take fish gills out, etc.
Can this fish be eaten without preparing it? She’s quite sure she couldn’t bite off the scales. There are still fish gills in it, and also a lot of sand was stuck. The smell has a heavy pungent odor. No wonder people here don’t like fish.
Parker immediately said: “Anyway, I’m going to roast it outside. Isn’t it cleaner to let it unscraped? Do you not eat the head with the fish gills? Why do you need to get them out? It’s troublesome.”
Bai Qingqing was confused and at a loss for words.
Bai Qingqing is quite unsure whether it’s okay to grill the fish as is or to scrape its scales, but she is even more uncertain about eating it with its charred scales. So she simply walked out holding the stone basin, and said aggressively: “Then we will not roast it, let’s cook it instead!”
“Cook?” Parker was in a dazed.
