Chapter 2 Roasted Bamboo Shoots and Cigarettes

Many years later, whenever I talk about my first visit to Contans, Lin Taiping always recalls the past with emotion: "Thank you CCTV, MTV, and especially my ex-girlfriend for forcing me to attend the cooking training class..."

Well, when it comes to participating in a cooking training class, it is indeed a past that cannot be looked back on, but it is precisely because of this hellish-style devil training that he can now conquer the stomachs of a large group of taurens with his unskilled craftsmanship.

Under the dim night, by the shaking bonfire, dozens of hungry taurens squatted down neatly and formed a circle, staring foolishly, watching him tidy up some big winter bamboo shoots there—

Because there is a lack of seasonings and cooking oil, all methods such as stewing and stir-frying are not feasible. Therefore, the best way to use local ingredients is to use the most primitive puree roasting method. Moreover, this most primitive puree roasted winter bamboo shoots can also ensure the original flavor of winter bamboo shoots to the greatest extent.

First, a large pit was dug up in the yellow mud next to the bamboo forest, which was filled with firewood and dead grass, and a lot of bamboo leaves and bamboo joints were added, which could bring the roasted winter bamboo shoots with the natural aroma of bamboo leaves;

Then, five or six winter bamboo shoots with bamboo shells were selected and wrapped in a thick layer of mud shells. Under his command, the Tauren put these big winter bamboo shoots into a big pit and completely covered them with firewood and dead grass;

Finally, a torch was thrown into the big pit. As the firewood and dead grass were ignited, the whole pit was ignited with raging fire. As time gradually passed, the winter bamboo shoots buried deep in the deep gradually ripened, and a faint fragrance began to permeate the air, making people unable to help but take a deep breath and then a deep breath.

"Well, can you eat this way?" He was so hungry that his stomach was pressed against his back. When he smelled this faint fragrance, dozens of taurens couldn't help swallowing their saliva. Tulu couldn't help but tiptoe and stretch his neck, like a duck hanging on the oven.

"Don't worry, there is a last step." Lin Taiping estimated that the time was about the same, and then extinguished the flames in the big pit. After the temperature gradually dropped, he used branches to fiddle in the big pit and drove out several big winter bamboo shoots.

At this time, after a period of barbecue, the mud shells outside had solidified. He picked up a large stone, smashed it hard a few times, smashing the mud shells outside to pieces. As the winter bamboo shoots were completely revealed, the rich fragrance could no longer resist and immediately filled the entire beach.

Under the smell of this fragrance, even Lin Taiping couldn't resist it. However, while swallowing his saliva, he carefully stretched out his hand and peeled off the still hot bamboo shoot shells. The white and tender bamboo shoot meat was immediately exposed to the air, so white and crystal clear that it made people salivate: "Okay, now you can... Meow, I haven't finished talking yet!"

There was no interest in hearing him continue. Tulu had been rushing up impatiently, regardless of how hot the winter bamboo shoot was, and he picked it up and chewed it. After just two or three chewed it, the guy suddenly had a dull face, and then he felt like he had malaria, and even his horns trembled slightly.

Is it poisonous? Dozens of taurens looked at each other, but before they could come back to their senses, Tulu suddenly screamed strangely, holding the whole winter bamboo shoots and gnawing them around, while nodding desperately: "This taste...this taste...will you try it?"

Do you still need to ask? Dozens of taurens rushed up in a swarm and picked up the remaining few roasted winter bamboo shoots. They started to chew without even peeling the shells. After tasting the taste, these guys suddenly turned red and started to snatch their chests while screaming and pounding their chests...

"Delicious! So delicious! So delicious!" Tulu ate with oil, but his face turned his head incredible, shocked to the point where his chin was almost dislocated: "Who, how did you know, how did you know that this thing is buried underground and edible?"

"Character problem." Lin Taiping smiled, revealing eight bright white teeth.

In fact, until the 21st century, Westerners still did not have the habit of eating bamboo shoots. Considering that this world is similar to the Middle Ages, it is normal for Taurus to not know about winter bamboo shoots.

Now, after eating a few roasted winter bamboo shoots, the people who were still unsatisfied with the bullheads immediately turned into a large army of digging holes. In just a short moment, the poor bamboo forest turned into a big pit. Not to mention the unformed small winter bamboo shoots, even the hard bamboo whip were dug out.

"Please, bamboo whips cannot be eaten." Lin Taiping looked at each other in awe and couldn't help but pat his forehead. "Besides, if you destroy the entire bamboo forest, we will never be able to eat it again... Um?"

At this moment, his eyes swept through the big pit at will, but suddenly he could see something strange. In a deep pit that had just been dug, there seemed to be a glimmer of metal flashing by.

"What is this?" He took a few steps forward curiously, reached out to hold the metal object covered with mud, "This is, this seems to be, a ring?"

That's right, hidden in the soil is a very ancient-looking ring. The ring made of platinum is engraved with fine and complex runes. In the middle of the ring face, a shiny red gem is inlaid.

"A very ordinary ring, at most it's pretty." At some point, Tulu had already turned around curiously. In the eyes of the Tauren leader, everything in the world was divided into two types, which were edible and uneasy.

"So, it's really a blessing to be a simple-minded person." Lin Taiping muttered and put away his ring, but he soon realized a more important issue. The promise of looking for food had been fulfilled. So the people who had a full meal would not suddenly turn against each other.

"How is it possible?" It felt as if it was insulted, Tulu immediately exhaled white breath in anger, "Our great and brave Taurus tribe will never do such things that will repay grudges and revenge...Who, you have helped us, from now on, you will be a guest of our tribe, although not the most noble one."

What's the difference? Will the equipment explosion rate increase? Lin Taiping couldn't help but complain, but he can finally breathe a sigh of relief now. At least after traveling to this world of ignorance, this is a good start.

But at this time, Tulu enthusiastically picked up a winter bamboo shoot and handed it over with aches on his face: "Who, you can eat something, thanks to your help this time."

"Thank you." Looking at the half-baked winter bamboo shoots, Lin Taiping could only decline. However, considering that he could not hurt the other party's enthusiasm, he thought about it and took out the last pack of cigarettes, "Well, do you want one... Hey, hey, this is not something to eat!"

Very good and powerful. If it weren't for being stopped in time, Tulu would have swallowed nicotine raw. But then, when he saw Lin Taiping take out another lighter, he was even more surprised and took a few steps back: "Flame? Are you, a magician?"

"This is what you said, I haven't said anything." Lin Taiping blinked innocently and lit a cigarette for it, "Come on, imitate me, take a sip, and then spit it out. How do you feel?"

"It feels... very dizzy." Tulu answered honestly. With its huge lung capacity, it killed the whole piece in one breath. If it doesn't dizzy, it would be a hell. "But it seems pretty good, let's have another one?"

Needless to say, Lin Taiping could only sigh in pain, and reluctantly took out another cigarette.

Soon, the facts prove that as long as a male creature is very quick to learn bad things—

A minute later, Tulu had already figured out how to use a lighter, although he almost got burnt;

Two minutes later, the guy started to hold a cigarette, shaking the ash skillfully, and also learned to vomit smoke rings;

Three minutes later, in the setting sun on this deserted island, a cow and a man sat side by side on the reef, facing the sea and swallowing clouds and mist, and there was a faint smoke floating above his head;

The blue sea, the black deserted island, and the red sunset, you can think about how harmonious coexistence is, and friendship is full of affection... Ahem, that's what, it's gone.

"It's really good. I feel my body is light." After a long silence, Tulu breathed a long sigh of relief and vomited a smoke ring with satisfaction. "But it's so strange. After smoking this thing, I seemed a little hungry again."

Sighing with distress, this guy opened his eyes pitifully while touching his big stomach that could never be filled, and even a layer of mist was covered in his huge cow's eyes: "Who, you know..."

"Please, don't be cute, okay?" Lin Taiping looked at it speechlessly, and finally defeated by the pitiful eyes. "Okay, I'm afraid of you. Let's go to your tribe to search, it's OK."

OK, OK, that's what I'm waiting for. Dozens of taurens nodded repeatedly, rushed up one after another, patted their shoulders, hugged their waists, and surrounded them and left in a mighty manner, as if they were protecting a vital treasure.

What can I say? At this moment, looking at the dark bull heads around me, Lin Taiping suddenly had a very strange premonition.

Well, why do I suddenly feel that our family has never lived a peaceful life, and it seems that it will become even more wonderful from now on?

And many years later, Tulu described this scene enthusiastically in his memoir "My Days by the Woods"-
