Chapter 147 Species

Due to the emergence of Zhao Yu, the way of cooking in this era has already changed.

According to normal history, cooking in this era mainly consisted of stewing. No matter the meat or vegetables, they are all stewed without any technical content.

When eating, each person had a large clay pot in front of him, filled with large chunks of meat. His hands, mouth, and face were full of oil, and because of the sparse seasonings, there was no other taste except the taste of salt. But the appearance of Zhao Yu brought changes to him.

Frying and cooking started here in Zhao Yu and have spread to many states and counties under the rule of Cao Mengde in recent years.

When it comes to cooking, none of the wives and concubines are proficient in it. When dining in the other courtyard, Po Wang is the chef. It was basically impossible for women of high status in this era to be proficient in cooking. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and poetry are the symbols of identity. Zhao Yu's wives and concubines were not from ordinary families.

Therefore, the cooking matter still falls on Zhao Yu.

The task of skinning deer and hares was left to Sun Ren. Zhao Ji and Da Qiao didn't like blood, but Sun Ren didn't care.

After Zhao Yu set up a set of kitchen utensils in front of the courtyard, he first took out rice from the small world of the Chaos Bead, cooked the rice, and took out some fruits and vegetables from it, gave it to Zhao Ji and the others to wash, and then said with a smile: "Add another dish. .”

I saw him spreading his fingers, shaking it and grabbing it in the lake. A big red carp three or four feet long emerged from the waves, its scales reflecting the sunlight and shining brightly.

"What a big fish!"

Xiao Qiao was pleasantly surprised: "It's so beautiful, so red."

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "No matter how beautiful it is, I still have to eat it."

The magic power shook, the scales flew out, and in the blink of an eye, the fish was cleaned by Zhao Yu. All the bones and fish bones inside were shattered into powder, divided into small pieces, and put into the basin.

Then there’s the cooking show.

After the fish was cooked, Sun Ren also washed and skinned the deer and hare.

The venison is stewed in another pot, and as for the hare, Zhao Yu plans to have a barbecue.

Zhao Yu transformed into three heads and six arms. Of course, it was not a supernatural power, but it was because he was busy. Boiled fish, stewed venison, stir-fried vegetables, and barbecued on the side, and the hands were almost like phantoms.

The five wives and concubines were sitting around a large table. Xiao Qiao was clinking the bowl, staring at it with big eyes, sniffing the aroma, swallowing saliva in small mouths, and complaining: "Why does it smell so good?" !”

"Cooking is like refining elixirs." Zhao Yu said with a smile while busy: "Keep the heat and the amount of seasonings, and you will be able to make something delicious."

"Hey, that's it."

Zhao Yu laughed, and the three roasted golden hares landed on the dinner plate on the table one by one. There were still sizzling oil stars on them. Just looking at them made people salivate.

Zhao Yu cheated during this meal. The flames were activated with magic power, and the flames were of different sizes, but the roasted rabbit was the worst, so it was roasted quickly, faster than boiled fish.

Zhao Yu carefully planned that once the roasted rabbit is cooked, the boiled fish will be ready, then the stewed venison will be out of the pot, and finally the vegetables will be stir-fried.

Add another soup and the meal will be complete.

By the time Zhao Yu sat down at the desk, Xiao Qiao had already grabbed a hare and ate it, his mouth dripping with oil, and he kept nodding his head: "It's delicious, it's delicious."

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Zhao Yu divided the remaining two hares and served them in bowls for each of his wives and concubines. Then he poured a bowl of soup for the beauties before he started.

Eating without talking or sleeping without talking has no effect on Zhao Yu.

At the dinner table, the wives and concubines chatted while eating. Zhao Yu smiled and occasionally nodded or responded, which was pleasing to the eye.

The day just passed.

Starting from the second day, we will explore this primitive forest.

When I got up in the morning, I had a bowl of porridge and two fruits. Then Xiao Qiao took Sun Ren and Xiao Xie and went into the woods again. Zhao Ji, Da Qiao and Mi Zhen were not interested in this. They just came to enjoy the mountains and rivers, so the music that had been lingering for three days began to float in this old forest.

Zhao Yu, on the other hand, looked at the direction and headed deep into Shennongjia.

Sometimes he flew over the forest, sometimes he stayed on the high mountains for a while, watching the changes of Yuan Qi.

The Yuan Qi inside Shennongjia is much more abundant than the outside world, and the first thing Zhao Yu is looking for is the place with the strongest Yuan Qi inside Shennongjia.

Often the thickness of Yuan Qi represents the possibility of the existence of spiritual beings.

Stop and go along the way, occasionally collecting some rare medicinal materials or plants, and even some animals, which are incorporated into the small world of the Chaos Bead to allow them to reproduce.

Although the earth is only a drop in the ocean in this ordinary universe, the prosperity of species on the earth can still shock people. Just like in Shennongjia, there are many medicinal materials or plants that have never been used by people.

Either they have become extinct over time, or they are so rare that they have not been discovered.

Compared with modern time and space, the current era is probably a more prosperous era for Shennongjia. Among them, tigers and bear bears can be seen everywhere. For example, the fierce tiger is probably the South China tiger of later generations, but the South China tiger of this era is larger than that of later generations.

In ancient time and space, tigers and tigers were causing trouble. They could be seen in many hills and groves, and they even blocked roads and ate people. Often the government often posts notices or summons hunters to hunt wild beasts. This will not be seen in future generations. The demise or extinction of other species, although it is indeed a pity, is a manifestation of the growing strength of human beings.

In addition to tigers and bears, Zhao Yu also collected a group of Qingsi.

On the land of Shenzhou, rhinos and other species have existed since ancient times. It’s just that they have all been killed in later generations. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu and Yue used rhino leather armor to arm their armies. Can you imagine how many rhinoceros and Qingsi would have to be killed to arm tens of thousands of troops?

As the Xia peoples emerged from the Yellow River Basin, the Xisi genus gradually disappeared in the Yellow River Basin and was driven to the south. The deeper the south is developed, the less living space these animals have. In the era that Zhao Yu is currently living in, groups of rhinos can still be seen, but they will probably never be seen again for at least a thousand years.

Many species were protected animals in later generations, and there are countless of them in Shennongjia today. Beautiful birds and magical beasts compete for freedom in this old forest, fighting and fighting for their own living space. They come into this world and work hard for it from generation to generation. The same is true for humans, but humans have the advantage of intelligence, so they stand out and gradually drive out other species and occupy a dominant position.

The ‘animal protection’ of later generations is nothing but crocodile tears. Unless the living space is returned to them, the process of species extinction will never be stopped. This is an inevitable law of nature.

Zhao Yu collected these animals not out of pity, but out of pure thought. I just feel that the small world of Chaos Beads is still too thin and needs something to embellish it.

As a monk, he would not have mercy on these. Although he is far from reaching the Taoist state of "treating all things as straw dogs", many of the inherent ordinary thinking and mentality have long since left him. He cares about those close to him and the things he wants to care about, but he will not pity unrelated things for no reason.
