Chapter 126 Hunting for exotic ingredients
013-11-29
In the normal world outside, Bai Yi could not see ghosts. Bai Yi stretched out his hand, closed his eyes, and lifted all his senses to the maximum. Bai Yi's right hand passed through the ghost Momo mentioned, but there was no feeling. Everyone looked at Bai Yi, not knowing what Bai Yi was trying.
"No feeling, just like usual. Even though Momo said there was a soul there, she had no sense at all." Bai Yi shook his head.
"Ah, it has faded!" Momo said in surprise. As Bai Yi's right hand passed through the unknown soul, a bubble was burst in Momo's eyes and turned into a bubble. Although after Bai Yi's hand left, the body of the spirit body returned to normal, it became more transparent and seemed to disappear soon.
As a result, not long after Momo finished speaking, the soul completely disappeared into the space, just like evaporating.
"It's gone!" Momo said softly.
Bai Yi did not speak out. Although Momo was only over five years old now, she was completely different from ordinary children. Sure enough, Momo's expression was very calm and she did not feel any sadness or mercy for this strange soul. In New Zealand now, that kind of emotion is completely a luxury.
Bai Yi and others reorganized the things. Although it was not very important, it would be very troublesome if they were really re-formed. When sorting out these things, Shapi followed the smell and found a big pit that had just been buried. Inside, there was a corpse that had not been buried for a long time. The body was about three meters high, and the appearance was hard to see clearly because it was slightly rotten. Anyway, it was all monsters, so there was nothing to describe.
Looking at the corpse that had obviously died for a few days, thinking of the soul that disappeared in the room, Bai Yi and the others really understood what Johnny said.
The aura in the underworld is different from that in the outside world. Ghosts can survive in the underworld, but the normal world in the eyes of humans outside will gradually disappear. In this way, Meweis died in Wellington, which is indeed better than Martin and the others... Bai Yi just thought of this, and he couldn't help but want to pat his head. What does it mean to die with good luck? This statement is really strange.
"Woolf, you and Pupu go and get some prey back, I'll make a delicious meal."
Bai Yi saw that the pack of "seasoning" he made was still there, so he couldn't help but say to Woolf. These packs of seasonings were made by Bai Yi himself. Perhaps Bai Yi was not good at plant medicinal properties, but in terms of natural seasonings, they were still better than most people. However, seeing that this pack of natural seasonings was randomly discarded and scattered on the ground, you knew that the person who came here didn't know the goods. Of course, if these seasonings were not properly handled, they would be really not delicious and would even kill people.
This is what New Zealand is now, where more than 50% of animals and plants have their own dangers.
In the past half a month, although Bai Yi and the others can still find food in Wellington, it is not very delicious. They always feel that the creatures living in Wellington seem to have some ghost energy.
After hearing Bai Yi's words, Woolf raised his hand and said he knew. Although New Zealand is very dangerous for most humans now, some of the best people can still live in it. Even Bai Yi and the others are one of these best people. Of course, even Bai Yi and the others dare not be too careless, because if they are too careless, any danger will also kill people.
Although Woolf is a bit careless, it is actually thick and thin. I didn't see that this guy has followed Bai Yi since New Zealand. After so long, he has not been killed by Bai Yi's unlucky physique. In addition, although Pu Pu is a pet pig, he is indeed smart.
After the two went out, Bai Yi and Helois sorted out the place and prepared the cooking.
"So clear!" Helois said, looking at the flowing water inside the river."
"Well, it's really clear." Bai Yi nodded. New Zealand was originally vast and sparsely populated, and more than nine months after the extinction of human industry, New Zealand now has a completely primitive look. There are almost no traces of human-made things in this river, purely natural. Moreover, the active cells are not contaminated by viruses and have no toxins. Basically, these water sources are edible.
When Bai Yi and Helois returned, they found that Shapi was also coming back from another place, and was wet all over.
“Shapi?”
"Wangwu." Shapi shouted at Bai Yi, shook his body desperately, shook the water on his body away, and then walked towards Momo.
"Do you think Sharpi feels wrong recently?" Helois asked.
“Is there any?”
"Maybe it's my illusion." Helois couldn't help but shake his head when he saw Bai Yi not knowing it.
During this period, Bai Yi did not notice the abnormality of Shapi. In fact, Shapi just went to eat the body that was discovered shortly afterwards. Because the slightly rotten corpse had a heavy smell, Shapi went to wash it down the river for a while. After Shapi came to Momo, she lay down quietly and closed her eyes to rest. Momo knew what Shapi was doing, but Momo still didn't want to tell her father.
Shapi is so stingy, even daddy will probably be very concerned.
Momo could also guess in her simple heart that Bai Yi knew everything, so she hid this matter. However, if Shapi was still like this, it would be a little troublesome. It was not like Wellington outside, and the body could be said to be found everywhere. Shapi lay on the ground, and it seemed that she was not sleeping very well. After moving her head, the exoskeleton grown on the left shoulder scapula appeared some minor cracks near her neck.
...
"Wolf, what exactly did you catch come back?" Helois was incredibly shocked when he saw the prey that Wolf was dragging.
Is this thing...a caterpillar?
Woolf and Pupu were dragged by prey more than one meter long, thick and chubby, with small green tentacles and spots all over their body, and were constantly struggling and wriggling. This guy is clearly an enlarged version of caterpillars. Woolf and Pupu were tied up one by one with vines, and brought back more than ten. Now these more than ten caterpillars are still twisting, and their tentacles and short thin feet are constantly crawling. No matter how you look, you will feel goosebumps.
"I don't know what this thing is. There is no way. I found some prey in a while and found a group of evolutionary creatures in the flight system. But I couldn't catch up with it. I found that those birds were feeding on this caterpillar, probably not poisonous." Woolf said helplessly. Although there are indeed many monsters in New Zealand now, it is not something that can be found if you want to find it or you can catch it if you want to.
"Haha, it's Bai Yi who will deal with it anyway, let's see what his expression is."
What expression did Bai Yi really feel stupid when he saw more than ten fat caterpillars. I went there, Woolf, can you be more curious? But Bai Yi also knew that sometimes it was like this. If you can’t find food, you can’t find food, and it would be good to have something to eat.
"Drag to the river." Bai Yi said to Woolf.
"Understand!" Woolf saw that Bai Yi didn't say anything, and knew that 80% of the food today were these caterpillars.
Bai Yi came to the river, took out the kitchen knife, thought about it, and pulled out the small willow-leaf knife. Bai Yi didn't know how to deal with this new ingredient, so he could only explore it from the beginning. Using a caterpillar as the object of the test, Bai Yi began to carefully dissect it.
Slow and detailed treatment and poison test are the most important. Whether it is unpalatable or not is considered secondary. If it is poisonous, it will be troublesome. Although Woolf said that those flying birds feed on this caterpillar, Bai Yi still dared not be careless. In the end, Bai Yi's judgment was slightly poisonous, and it could withstand the physical fitness of evolving humans. Of course, it is the evolution of New Zealand now, and ordinary humans outside, who will definitely not have the blessing to enjoy this food.
When dealing with this caterpillar for the first time, Bai Yi threw away all the difficult internal organs and other things, leaving only the fat skin outside. The caterpillar that was processed completely changed, tender and smooth, just like a fat belly. With the seasonings that Bai Yi himself prepared, it was surprisingly delicious. Bai Yi tried several cooking methods and found that it was the most suitable for this caterpillar by using a hot method, so he simply made a hot pot.
"It's delicious, I really didn't expect that this caterpillar would be so delicious." Woolf was so sucking in his mouth.
"That's Bai Yi's cooking skills are good." Helois teased.
Bai Yi smiled and said, "Is his cooking skills good? In fact, his cooking skills are just average, but they are indeed much better than most people and are good at handling ingredients." However, these dozen caterpillars took Bai Yi half a day to work, and the ingredients he encountered for the first time were really troublesome.
"Don't you eat Shapi?" Bai Yi saw Shapi a little lazy and asked. At this time, Bai Yi remembered what Helois reminded him before that Shapi was a little abnormal recently.
"Hey, probably, Shapi is a little anorexia and will get better soon." Momo said nervously immediately.
It's too tender Momo. Bai Yi is clearly asking Shapi, what are you doing so nervously? Bai Yi immediately looked at Momo and Shapi, not knowing what they were doing. Seeing his father's inquiring eyes, Momo's body suddenly tensed up, blocking Shapi. Shapi stood up slowly, as if he wanted to face Bai Yi directly.
Um?
