Chapter 192, Part 4
Jiang Luoluo stopped when she had surrounded the entire bonfire and could no longer fit another beggar bird. Looking at the remaining birds, she began preparing the second dish.
Braised bird meat!
Although due to various issues, Jiang Luoluo lacked both the caramelized sugar and the dark soy sauce needed for braising, this did not prevent her from naming the dish "Braised".
First, all the birds were chopped into small pieces. Jiang Luoluo tried to remove the bones as much as possible, leaving only relatively pure meat pieces, such as bird wings. For parts that were difficult to remove the bones, she left them with the bones on, and then decided whether to chop them up based on their size.
To ensure the meat was flavorful, Jiang Luoluo first mixed it with some seasonings and marinated it for a while. Then, she used her familiar method of heating oil in a pan and stir-frying scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant.
Then add the bird meat pieces, stir-fry in hot oil until the skin is golden brown, then add a lot of jam, stir-fry together, and finally add water to simmer.
Actually, calling it sweet and sour pork with jam or honey-glazed bird meat would be more appropriate.
However, since the jam Jiang Luoluo is using today is red, she has decided to call it "Braised" until the soy sauce, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce are made!
Such a bright red color, it must be braised!
Since one pot wasn't enough, Jiang Luoluo made another big pot, which she borrowed from a neighbor. "Borrowing things" was a very novel thing for the group of single, introverted, and withdrawn people living nearby, and it made them very resistant.
Unfortunately, the person who borrowed the item was a chubby, healthy, and adorable little cub with a sweet, soft, childlike voice and big, blinking, cute eyes.
Even the most aloof and indifferent tribesman couldn't bring himself to say no, and could only let the cub take away the stone pot he had prepared.
It's okay... I'll just go hungry for a while. Even rotten meat isn't something I can't eat.
However, Jiang Luoluo didn't let the tribesman who lent her the pot really go hungry. When she returned the pot after cooking, there was still a fragrant and perfectly cooked dish of jam-braised bird meat in it... uh, braised bird meat.
This brought a change to a reclusive member of the tribe, allowing him to go out and discuss food with other members of the tribe.
The three of them did not finish all the food.
Although the meat from a single bird isn't much, not even as much as that from a wild animal of the same size, the amount from one bird is still considerable, especially since there are more than a dozen birds here, enough to feed them for several days.
Jiang Luoluo took five easily portable beggar birds with her, leaving the remaining three for Shou Heyuan to eat at his next meal.
Although these beggars and birds were caught by the guards, they were made by Jiang Luoluo, who also used a lot of jam and various seasonings.
In terms of value, it's perfectly fine for Jiang Luoluo to take away one-third of the quantity.
Jiang Luoluo first delivered one of the five beggar birds to the shaman on the mountaintop who made herbs every day—many of the seasonings were given to Jiang Luoluo by the shaman, so Jiang Luoluo would always remember to save some for the shaman whenever there was something delicious to eat.
Forget about the chieftain's banner. The chieftain wouldn't accept anything from the tribespeople. Although there might be good intentions in offering good things, such behavior is actually seen as disrespectful to the chieftain's status. A tribal chief is a crucial guide for leading the tribe to find food and survive, yet he expects the tribespeople to bring him food... What does it mean if not to look down on him?
The leader would only accept and taste the low-value food that the children gave him.
The shaman is different. The shaman has no hunting ability; he represents the will of the tribe and will receive support from the tribe as a whole.
Then, passing by Chi's house, I gave Chi one, and then took a detour to give He one. Before going home, I gave Mao and Ke one of the last two, and kept the last one for Ge.
Fortunately, Jiang Luoluo mainly wanted everyone to taste the flavor; otherwise, Mao and Ke would have had enough with just one.
The fragrance of beggar's flowers and birds drifted and lingered in the deepening night, spreading its scent throughout most of the tribe. So much so that when the next morning, the entire tribe was discussing what that fragrance from the previous night had been.
Last night, Ge enjoyed a beggar's bird that Jiang Luoluo had specially saved for him, and listened to Jiang Luoluo share what she had done all day. When he woke up the next morning, his pleasant and relaxed mood hadn't lasted long.
Then they saw the not-so-welcome guard, who had arrived at the entrance of his own cave.
After considering the probability of driving the person away at this moment, and analyzing the situation, he realized that he could win...
"Shou, you're here."
Behind him, the sound of a cub yawning interrupted Ge's thoughts.
Because she was so excited yesterday, Jiang Luoluo kept telling Ge about herself, so she went to bed a little late and was a little sleepy than usual when she woke up this morning.
But upon seeing Shou, he was still happy to greet him.
Although he could only watch from the sidelines, Shou had already promised her that he would take her with him next time he caught birds.
Yuan also said that when he has time, he will make her a small stone bow that looks like a guardian.
Although she probably couldn't kill those birds, Jiang Luoluo was already very happy and excited just to be able to play with them.
Shou came over at this time because of another matter—the "telescope meeting" that had been arranged beforehand. Yuan had already gone there first, and Shou came specifically to pick up Jiang Luoluo.
