Shaking his head, Xu Xin stopped thinking about this. This was not what he needed to consider at this stage. He just needed to make sure he could survive first.
While Xu Xin was picking the fruits, the little guy on his shoulder kept looking at him with a resentful look, as if to say, you have so many, but you only give me one a day, you stingy guy.
The whole bush had 32 red berries again. The little guy had just eaten two, so this time he harvested a full 30 red berries. Xu Xin put all the red berries in his backpack, occupying one grid.
After finishing all these, Xu Xin decided to go back. It should be around four or five in the morning now, and the sky was even shining with the light of the morning sun. It was about to dawn, but the activities mentioned this morning did not start until nine o'clock. Although Xu Xin had no mental problems after eating oranges, he could clearly feel physically tired.
It's time to go back and rest.
Soon they returned to the tree house. Under the surprised gaze of the little guy, Xu Xin tied the roots around his waist and returned to the tree house.
The little guy who came into Xu Xin's tree house jumped off Xu Xin's shoulders, ran around, looked everywhere, was full of curiosity about the entire tree house, and cried.
It usually sleeps in tree holes, but this is the first time it has seen such a big tree hole.
"Don't touch it!" Xu Xin reminded it while putting all the blue-grade food in the house into his backpack to prevent the little guy from stealing some when he wasn't paying attention.
After a busy night, he was hungry. Xu Xin touched his flat belly, thought of the bear meat he had hunted, and the blue-grade bear paw, and swallowed his saliva. For three days, Xu Xin had not eaten a single bite of meat. Such a vegetarian diet made him feel like he was no longer himself.
He used a boning knife to cut two kilograms of meat from the bear, picked up the blue bear paw, and set up a grill in front of the fireplace.
Although the most suitable way to cook bear paws is to stew them for a long time several times, roasting bear paws also has a unique flavor.
Cao Zhi's "Famous Capitals" said: minced carp, fried turtle and grilled bear paws. It means to mince carp and cook shrimp soup, stir-fry turtle and grill bear paws. As a foodie, Xu Xin only remembered this sentence in the whole "Famous Capitals".
He had actually been coveting bear paws for a long time, but bears are protected animals in the country where he lives, so this time-honored gourmet tradition has disappeared.
As a senior foodie, he even planned to go to the Mao country in the north to taste it legally. He didn't expect that it would come true in this world. It was a blessing for him.
Xu Xin didn't have a pot now. He looked through the production list, but couldn't find the production methods of the iron pot and the stove. Logically, the raw materials for these two things should be complete, but they just couldn't be made.
The grill can be made, but the pot and stove cannot be made. Could it be that the blueprints for more advanced kitchen utensils need to be unlocked
Xu Xin used a boning knife to cut several cuts on the meat and the bear's paw, then put both ingredients on the grill to grill.
Unfortunately, there is no seasoning, so I can only eat it in its original flavor.
You must pay more attention to these things these days. Food will not taste good without salt, and the human body will have problems if it lacks salt for a long time. Although there is salt in the blood of animals, you can't let them eat raw meat and drink blood like wild beasts.
The tired little guy returned to the third floor and curled up on Xu Xin's legs. He seemed to have no interest in the grilled bear meat. Xu Xin took an apple and stuffed it into his arms, and the little guy immediately started to eat it.
"I have to give you a name." Xu Xin said to himself as he looked at the little guy happily eating an apple on his lap.
When the little guy heard Xu Xin's words, he raised his head and tilted his head to look at him.
"Emmmm, you are so hairy, why not just call you a hairball."
After hearing this, the little guy immediately shook his head and took a big bite of the apple to show his dissatisfaction.
"So with all this brown hair, should we call you Coffee? Chocolate? Cocoa?"
The little guy tilted his head and looked at him, not knowing what these three words meant.
Seeing that the little guy didn't object, Xu Xin immediately made the decision: "I'll call you Keke!"
"嘤!" The little guy was dissatisfied with Xu Xin's tyranny, but he didn't object to the name. He continued to hold the apple and eat it, which meant he accepted the name.
Soon, the bear meat on the grill was already oozing with oil, and the sizzling sound made Xu Xin's mouth water. After three days of fasting, he could finally eat some meat.
The meal was delicious. Although there was no seasoning and the wild bear meat had a strange smell, Xu Xin still ate it with relish, especially the blue-grade bear paws. Due to its grade, the meat was firm, fat-rich, and rich in gelatin. It was indeed a rare delicacy. Xu Xin ate it with great pleasure, his mouth full of oil.
After finishing his meal, Xu Xin felt his greasy hands and mouth, shook his head with a wry smile, and carefully went down to the lake to wash up. Fortunately, according to the map, the red dots in the lake were concentrated in the deep water area in the center of the lake, so he washed himself safely.
In order to avoid such trouble in the future, he made a large wooden basin, filled it with water and brought it back to the tree house.
"Huh~" Xu Xin lay down on the bed. Unlike the mushrooms he had eaten before, he could clearly feel the increased strength that the bear paw brought him this time.
When he ate, he could feel a warm current flowing from his abdomen to all parts of his body. When he was carrying the water just now, the large basin of water that was originally very heavy for him did not make him feel that heavy. He deliberately did not put the basin full of water into his backpack, and he did not even breathe heavily after carrying it back.
After being enhanced by the dining table and the grill, the benefits that the bear paw could bring to him were maximized.
"My strength has increased, and with the help of the backpack, I can carry more things." Xu Xin is very satisfied with the effectiveness of the bear paw.
Lying on the bed, Xu Xin gradually fell asleep.
Xu Xin was woken up by the sound of birds singing. He looked at the time on the screen. It was half past eight, and there was still half an hour until nine o'clock. Ke Ke was still curled up in his bed, with his big tail wrapped around his body, and he hadn't woken up yet.
After a quick wash, Xu Xin came to the screen. The regional channel was already bustling.
"It starts in twenty minutes!"
"What's it called? Jungle Exploration?"
"It's exciting just to hear it! There should be some treasure, right?"
"Don't be too happy too soon. Have you forgotten the nightmare you had last night?"
"By the way, are you all close together? Can we team up to explore? It's too dangerous to explore on your own."
He also saw Li Wenxi reply to him: "?? How do you have a backpack? I went down after the beast tide ended last night and looked around for a long time but didn't find a single beast corpse. Did you kill it? By the way, why is this backpack white? Isn't it green in the list?"
The message was sent at seven o'clock in the morning. Although this beautiful girl slept so late last night, she woke up quite early. Probably because she knew that Xu Xin might not have gotten up yet, this beautiful girl who liked to make phone calls and send video calls only replied with one sentence.
Wow, she is quite brave. Xu Xin dared to go down because he had a map that could tell him the location of the wild beasts. If he didn't have this ability, he wouldn't dare to go down when the beast tide just receded.
"I was lucky enough to kill a feeding animal. This backpack is made from the broken skin of the eaten animal. Want to exchange it? Give me some blue-grade stone and iron ore."
