Chapter 21: Someone Who Knows How to Bake Meat is the Most Handsome

Yu Xiaocao had over ten years of experience with cooking and making boiled food, but he was not an expert in cleaning and preparing games. He could only help by mixing the herbs. It had been a long time since he had eaten meat (Author: Did he forget about meat bread?) So, it was very difficult for him to withstand the alluring aroma of roasted rabbit.

Zhao Han wiped the sweat on his face with his shirt. He could not help but laugh as he looked at Xiaocao and his younger brother's excited expressions, "Patience. We should eat soon. The wild rabbit I caught today is quite plump, and it will definitely taste good!"

The oil from the roasted rabbit dripped into the fire, making a hissing sound. The flame brought the scent of roasted meat into the air. The smell drifted throughout the valley, luring the siblings' hunger.

By the time the crisp, golden-brown roast rabbit was finally ready, Yu Xiaocao was already on the verge of drooling! The two brothers looked at the steaming roast rabbit and did not know where to start.

A smile appeared on Zhao Han's handsome face. He gently shook his head and took out the sharp dagger he used to peel the wild rabbit earlier.

After carefully washing the dagger in the river, he cut and gave his hind legs to his brothers, The hind legs are the most tender parts of the rabbit.

There were two small children, so Zhao Han did not add too much spicy seasoning to the roasted meat. He gave each of them the hind legs of a rabbit, each of which weighed half a catty. Then added chili and cumin powder on the rest of the meat.

Yu Xiaocao felt extremely envious when he saw that, so he pestered Brother Han to add more for him as well. Even if there is only a thin layer, it can still add to the taste of roasted rabbits. With bright red lips, Xiaocao sweated as she ate. It seemed like he still needed to slowly train himself to get used to the spicy food.

Little Shitou was eating the legs of her non-spicy grilled rabbit when she saw her second sister inhaling cold air and tearing due to the spiciness. He curiously wondered, 'If eating chili peppers is so painful, then why are Brother Han and Second Brother still eating them? He really can't understand them. They were obviously just torturing themselves!'

The little boy bit the savory bunny as he lamented that today is better than New Year's, 'After eating the big bakpao during the day, he is also allowed to freely eat grilled meat in the afternoon. Is this really not a dream?'

By the time they finished eating the roasted rabbit's feet.The beggars' knees were also ready. When removing the thick mud, the feathers of the knee bird also peeled off completely along with its mud shell. A red jujube taste in the stomach seeps into the flesh of wild knee birds. With a fragrant aroma, the texture is crisp and tender, easily smeared in the mouth.

Xiaocao and his younger brother had just finished eating the rabbit's foot, but when faced with the appetizing roast, they couldn't help but eat more. So, they ended up eating too much, and whining while rubbing their stomachs.

Zhao Han looked at them amusedly. After picking a few large leaves, he cleaned it with the meat water inside the leaves, "Take this roast home for Xiaosha and Xiaolian to eat. But be careful not to let Heizi see it, or he'll take everything from you!"

Yu Xiaocao noticed that he didn't eat much grilled meat and asked with a hint of embarrassment, "BrotherHan, you were busy working all afternoon. Why don't you eat again?"

"I'm tired of eating meat. I think vegetables and tofu are better!" ZhaoHan gave him half-right answers. In fact, it is considered good enough if ordinary families can eat meat twice a year. Even for hunter families, it was impossible to eat meat every day. So, how could he get bored eating meat?

Xiaocao felt very touched because because because he knew that he only wanted to keep the roast for the Yu brothers. From the corner of his eye, he saw a fish jump out of the cracked mouth of the crock. With a cheerful smile on his face, he said, "Brother Han, try my cooking - special grilled fish!"

It was 'special' because grilled fish was not one of Xiaocao's specialties. In an environment with limited seasoning, he was skilled enough to be able to make a palm-sized fish crispy outside and tender inside. It smelled pretty good after she sprinkled a layer of cumin and chili powder over it.

"Do you want to taste it?" Yu Xiaocao was confident in his cooking skills, but this was his first time grilling fish directly on an open fire. So, he's a little worried.

"Do you want to taste it?" Yu Xiaocau was confident in his cooking skills, but this was his first time grilling fish directly on an open fire. So, he's a little worried.

Oh? It tastes good! She originally had doubts about Xiaocao's cooking skills as she was continuously bedridden and never did any work. Can the food be eaten? However, it turned out to taste very crunchy and delicious. It tastes savory and rather spicy, which is quite difficult to make.

"How's that? How's that?" Xiaocao asked with anticipation in his eyes as he grilled the fish skewers again.

"Lezat! Your cooking skills are pretty good!" As proof of his evaluation, Zhao Han bit his grilled fish skewer.

This little wild white fish has a soft flesh and a good taste. Besides, his bones were not small. Even if it was used to make soup with just plain water and salt, it would still be delicious.

Although Little Shitou's stomach was already bulging like a ball, she was still staring at the grilled fish in Zhao Han's hands and drooling.

Yu Xiaocao was comforted by his younger brother. He tore a small piece of fish meat from the freshly baked fish skewers and comforted her, "You can't eat anymore. Be careful with your broken stomach. You can only taste!"

Zhao Han laughed as he saw Shitou enjoying the grilled fish inside her mouth. It seemed like a hungry little kitten, he was even reluctant to swallow this little bite of fish, "The three of us are the only ones who know about this valley now. If you want to eat grilled fish, Brother Han can bring you here again!"

Zhao Han ate some grilled fish skewers and noticed that the sky was getting darker. He took the ceramic pot from Xiaocao's hand and brought his reluctant brothers back to Dongshan village.

They didn't need to take a detour to check for traps on the way home, so the return trip took twice as fast. Still, they missed dinner.

The customary rule of the Yu family was, 'Anyone who pours late and misses mealtime will simply starve. Never think of preparing separate meals!'

However, Yu Xiaocao did not want to eat the disgusting dried pancakes and porridge! He felt more comfortable now that he had money in his hands. These nine teals would be his models for making money in the future, so he had to hide them safely.

Zhao Haan had planned to send the two brothers home, but once they arrived at the dea, they saw Yu Hang and Xiaolian waiting for them at the entrance.

"Oldest Brother, eldest brother! Brother Han caught wild rabbits and wild kneeling birds. They are really good when baked. I saved a lot of pangang meat for kaian!" Shitou ran in an obedient manner and shared the leaf-wrapped rabbit meat with her brother.

Yu Hang gently wiped the dirt off his face, then he slapped his head and said, "You really know how to curry favor. Since it's Brother Han's game, did you even ask for his approval?!"

Little Shitou rubbed her forehead and giggled, "Sister Han said to keep it for you guys. He himself did not even eat much!"

Yu Hang was even more unwilling to take the grilled meat out of his hands, "Sister Han, you should take it back for Grandpa Zhao and Aunt to eat.."

Zao Han glared at him and spoke with a stern expression, "What? You guys call me 'Sister Han', so what's wrong with buying you roasts? If you still respect 'Sister Han', just eat!"
