At the same time, on the city wall (let's call it a city wall, although it is not very high, just three meters), the fat pig chief stretched out his head tremblingly, glanced at Ouyang cautiously, and walked towards

In that direction, he swallowed his saliva.

His eyes were full of nostalgia and reluctance.

Of course, he is not gay and does not like Ouyang.

A man with a sinister look and a rat-like look, who looked a bit like a dog-headed military counselor, came up and asked: "Yi Chief, you want to eat bear paws, why don't you just ask the gentleman to buy them?"

Feizhu Yichang wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth and said: "This gentleman has some relationship with the guy from Shouchun. How can he just go up and ask for it? And we had a little conflict with him yesterday. Wait.

Let’s find an opportunity to visit again in a few days.”

"Then... Wang Orion, do you still want to keep an eye on him?" the dog-headed military advisor asked.

"Forget it, Hunter Wang is only at that level. He can catch a few bear cubs, but I can't count on him anyway." The chief of the city stood up and moved his somewhat stiff body, leaving some fat on his waist and abdomen.

After shaking for three times, he said, "I don't know who this person is. The big bear really turns into a dog in his hands. He will be sure to catch him once he catches him."

"Maybe he is the noble apprentice of Shouchun." The dog-headed military advisor guessed.

The mayor nodded, then looked a little sad: "Oh... I don't know where I can satisfy my craving~"

…………………………

Ouyang, who had already arrived at the hospital, naturally wouldn't know that the fat pig chief had been squatting with him at the top of the city, nor would he know that he was just thinking about bear paws.

Making a silent gesture to signal the boy not to yell, Ouyang carefully avoided the busy doctor and carried the big black bear to the backyard, where several shelves were set up to dry the things Jiang Yu had handled yesterday.

of animal skins.

The price of treated animal hides and untreated animal hides can be said to be very different. It just so happened that there were some medicinal materials in the doctor's house, so I decided to process them.

Ouyang came to the back kitchen, found the two cooks who were busy preparing dinner, and dropped the black bear.

"Ah! Mr. Ouyang!" The cook was startled at first, and then she was a little surprised.

"This is to improve the food for the doctors and apprentices in the hospital. Come and help dismantle it." Ouyang said, picked up the longest and sharpest knife in the kitchen, and began to skin the black bear.

"okay!"

"Mr. Ouyang, have you gone to the forest to the south again?"

"yes."

"There are many beautiful butterflies in the forest to the south from time to time?"

"I've seen one or two. They're pretty big. If they're beautiful... they're just average."

"Besides the black bear, what else did you see? Did you meet any deer?"

"I have encountered forest wolves and South China tigers...that is, large insects, but I have not seen deer."

The three of them were chatting and busy at the same time. When the sun was about to set and the sky was getting dark, a large pot of bear meat was already ready.

No, to be precise, it should be several large pots.

Don't look at Ouyang eating a big bear so easily. In fact, the black bear's physique and meat volume are amazing.

If we use goats as a reference, an adult male goat weighs about two hundred kilograms. The average person can already feel a clear sense of fullness after eating seven or eight kilograms of mutton.

And this thing Ouyang brought back

The bear weighs more than three hundred kilograms in total, and if the bones are removed, it is enough to feed fifty people.

In order to stew the big black bear, the cook even took out the cauldron used by doctors to process medicinal materials, and borrowed a few kilograms of salt from the noble house next door before reluctantly starting to cook it.

"Mr. Ouyang, was the bear meat in this bear skin eaten by wild animals?" asked a cook with some baby fat on her face.

"How could it be eaten by wild animals? The skin is so complete, Mr. Ouyang should have peeled it off himself, right?" Another thin cook retorted.

Ouyang scratched his cheek with his index finger awkwardly and said, "Actually, this big bear is..."

"Wow! It smells so good!"

Jiang Yu suddenly burst into the door with a roar, and said excitedly: "Ah Hong, Ah Li, are you cooking meat? Where does it come from?"

"It's the bear meat that Mr. Ouyang brought back," the fat cook said.

"I didn't expect you to be quite conscientious."

I don't know if it was Ouyang's misunderstanding, but Jiang Yu seemed to be in a good mood, and Ouyang felt that it was not just because of the bear meat, but he must have encountered something worthy of happiness before entering the kitchen.

"After all, we can't live here for free. From now on, one meal of meat every day is indispensable." Ouyang said, tasting the broth stewed in the big pot with his fingers, "Well, it's light, and there is still a fragrance of herbs.

taste."

"Ah? What should we do?" The thin cook looked a little panicked. She didn't want to let such precious ingredients be ruined in her own hands.

"It's okay, it's okay. The aroma of the medicine is quite good." Ouyang consoled him, "It happens that there is no seasoning left. The aroma of the medicine can also remove the smell of meat."

…………………………

At night, all the doctors and medical women in the hospital ate delicious bear meat.

Jiang Yu originally wanted to hold a bonfire party for this purpose, but because the doctors in the hospital were too tired, they gave up the celebration plan.

"What a pity." Jiang Yu ate the bear meat and drank the broth with some excitement.

The staple food in the land of Jingchu is the rice we eat today, but it is not as white and beautiful as the rice of later generations. Now the rice is all yellow.

Moreover, rice is also considered a relatively advanced crop, and ordinary civilians or slaves rarely eat it.

Ordinary civilians also eat a kind of black rice, which is long and hard. It looks like the kind of carbon sticks that girls use as earplugs. After it is cooked, it tastes very bad, hard and prickly.

"What a pity. These doctors are so tired that they almost have no energy to eat. They almost fall asleep immediately." Ouyang didn't care.

He really wanted to see the customs and habits of Jingchu, but he had to do so without causing trouble to others.

"Acting Headmaster... Actually, you want to use the bonfire party to bring together a few pairs of medical girls and young apprentices, right?" said the fat cook Ah Hong.

"Yeah, yeah, maybe~ She's starting to feel like spring herself~ Hahahaha." Cook Ali also echoed.

"Ah Hong! Ah Li! You two are looking for death!" Jiang Yu jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on and grabbed the two cooks.

Ouyang looked at these living treasures running around and shook his head helplessly. Then he looked at Wang Sheng who was picking up food and asked, "Is the hospital always so busy?"

I was going to sit here and eat

The only people who eat are the doctors and medical women in the hospital. Patients like Wang Sheng are not qualified to sit here and eat.

But the people at the hospital made him Ouyang's little follower on the spot, so it was considered special care.

"Uh huh!" Wang Sheng's mouth was filled with bear meat and he couldn't make a sound.

"Aren't you the son of Orion? Why do you look like you've never seen meat? You're so stupid." Ouyang rolled his eyes and handed him a glass of water.

"Hmm..." After drinking a glass of water, Wang Sheng felt a little smoother and said, "Thank you, thank you! When my father came back from hunting, he bought the meat and only left the bones to take home and stew in soup, so there was no need to

Why eat meat? He always said that he was saving money for me to marry a wife, but how could Jiang Yu be that kind of girl? She didn't even marry a nobleman, let alone be greedy for such a small amount of money. So..."

"Okay, okay." Ouyang quickly interrupted his tirade, "Hurry up and tell me what's going on in the hospital recently."

This kind of love idiot will talk endlessly about the person he likes, making people want to slap him.

"I don't know either." Wang Sheng spread his hands and said he didn't know.

"Hurry up, hurry up, you're useless." Ouyang put away Wang Sheng's chopsticks and bowl, and said to the two cooks who were playing around: "Don't let this guy in to eat in the future, let him go back to drink.

Go get his dad’s bone broth.”

The two cooks didn't know what was going on, so they nodded in agreement.

Wang Sheng looked at it and immediately became anxious: "I haven't finished speaking yet! Although I don't know if the hospital is always busy, I still found some abnormal phenomena! Most of the injured patients who entered Yulou recently are

Many of them who came from Shouchun had marks of being bitten by wild beasts, but they were all lucky enough not to die."

Wang Sheng spoke in a hurry, fearing that Ouyang would really drive him away.

"Beast?" Ouyang narrowed his eyes, "Do you know what kind of beast it is?"

"I don't know. All the patients said they were startled at the time. They could only see a dark figure as tall as a person, and couldn't see anything else clearly, or they had no time to remember it."

Ouyang felt that he had grasped something key, and immediately asked: "Did the doctor say anything? Does the wound look like the mouth of an animal?"

Wang Sheng replied: "They said it looks like a person's front teeth, which are flat and aligned."

"Bited by humans?" Ouyang raised his eyebrows.

"How is that possible?" Wang Sheng shook his head and said, "Doctors thought it might be a horse or a sheep, because their teeth are flat and even. But there are no such big sheep in Jingchu, so they thought it might be as tall as a human.

horse."

"Not necessarily, it could also be a deer or a cow." Ouyang retorted.

"Deer should be afraid of living people," Wang Sheng said, "and a cow has such a docile temperament, how can it bite people? Even if it is really annoyed, it should go to the head with its horns."

Most of the cattle in Jingchu land are buffaloes, and it is true that they have a docile temperament.

"Indeed, it seems that among common animals, only horses can bite people." Ouyang nodded, but instinctively felt something was wrong.

He felt that his clues were right, but there seemed to be some problems with the direction.

"So can I eat meat?" Wang Shengyan swallowed and looked at the rice bowl in Ouyang's hand.

"Here you go, let's see what potential you have." Ouyang rolled his eyes and returned the bowl and chopsticks to Wang Sheng.
Chapter completed!
