Chapter 99: Lamb for Dinner

July 23, 2023Ai Hrist

Lu Jiu and others left the city smoothly, and the three of them decided to go to Pingjing Mountain to see if they could kill some black scorpions quietly. Not to mention that the scorpion meat reward was pretty good.

Lu Jiu looked up at the surrounding giant trees. Although the temperature was very low, the leaves of the giant trees were only turning yellow now, and occasionally a few leaves fell off.

She always felt that she was seeing something, that it was not real.

Just as she was thinking about it, Shen Jufeng, who was riding a bicycle, braked suddenly: “We encountered a wild monster.”

When Lu Jiu heard it, she realized that the food was delivered to their door. It happened that she didn’t know what to eat for dinner.

The three of them collected their bicycles, and in front of them were a few hairy sheep, but the fur color was yellowish.

[Colin Sheep]

(Brown iron monster)

Vitality: 2000

Attack: 88-180

Defense: 35

Anyway, they have never seen this sheep near Xuantian City.

Two of the sheep’s horns were very large and curled, and looked very intimidating.

“Baa–”

A few sheep bleated a few times without any momentum, then lowered their heads and ran towards them with their horns.

Lu Jiu knew that she was a long-range player, so she equipped her wings, fly not too far away, and then draws the bowstring, and shot one of the enemies.

Shen Jufeng jumped up and stepped on the horns to avoid the impact.

Zhuang Yun was the fiercest, he directly took out his shield to block and slashed with his sword at the same time.

It was just that these sheep were strong, and they pushed Zhuang Yun for a long distance. Their fur was very thick, so his sword just cut only the fur and didn’t cause any damage.

“Fuck, what kind of sheep is this, with such thick fur, it feels like I only cut its hair.”

Lu Jiu also found that after she shot a few arrows, most of them were not hurt: “It seems that the wool is thicker than we thought.”

Seeing that the wool was so thick, Shen Jufeng changed the position of the sword he was holding used the long sword as a dagger, and stabbed directly. He didn’t believe that with such an attack he would miss the flesh.

Lu Jiu pulled the bowstring to the bottom, trying to shoot more powerfully so that it could stab the flesh of wild monsters.

Shen Jufeng avoided the collision by moving flexibly. When he found an opportunity, he stabbed with the long sword, and the sword pierced into the flesh. He dealt with two alone.

Zhuang Yun held up his shield to block most of the collisions. The unstoppable close-fitting armor can still play a role, but it doesn’t feel good to be hit.

Just when he was hit on the chest, he felt as if a boulder had been crushed in his chest, and he almost couldn’t breathe.

A few sheep were not easy to deal with, but fortunately, they were all killed after finding the trick.

[System prompt: Congratulations on getting 5 sheepskins, 35 kg wool, 8 horns, 330 kg mutton..]

Lu Jiu killed two, and the harvest was good. Sheepskin and wool can be used to make clothes, and with such thick wool, it can be made into winter clothes with good thermal properties.

Lu Jiu looked at the lamb leg in the reward: “Let’s eat the roast leg of lamb tonight!”

These lambs include various parts, and her favorite was lamb leg.

Zhuang Yun wiped his sweat: “No problem.”

In the current game world, they found that the higher the level of wild monsters, the better the quality and taste of the dropped meat.

The meat dropped by ordinary sheep monsters still has a strong smell, but these sheep were fine, and the smell was easily neutralized by the seasoning.

The night had already darkened, and the three of them set up their single tents and gathered in Zhuang Yun’s tent. There was a charcoal brazier in the center of the tent.

Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng sat next to each other to keep warm. After dark, the temperature dropped several degrees. If they were far away from the charcoal brazier, they get goosebumps from the cold.

Zhuang Yun was making a roasted leg of lamb in another oven. The pink and white leg of lamb gradually browned with the charcoal fire.

He used a dagger to cut a few slits in the leg of the lamb and then smeared it with seasoning. The aroma exploded, and Lu Jiu stared at the leg of the lamb.

In addition to the roast leg of lamb, Zhuang Yun also took out thick rice noodles and prepared to fry a pot of mutton rice noodles.

This rice noodle was not like the fine rice noodle in the south, it was half as thick as Lu Jiu’s little finger.

After cutting the mutton into small pieces, he heated the oil in a hot pan, sauté the onion, ginger, and dried chili until fragrant, then add various sauces to taste. He stir-fried the mutton, add celery, and finally put the soaked thick rice noodles.

Zhuang Yun’s cooking skills were really good because he has a lot more strength after becoming a professional player, he can flip a big pot.

Soon the fried rice noodles with mutton will be ready. This was the staple food for tonight.

Lu Jiu’s stomach growled with hunger. Now that everything was cooked, she didn’t shy away: “Brother Zhuang’s cooking is so delicious.”

Zhuang Yun first filled a bowl for her and handed it over: “Taste it while it’s hot, mutton and rice noodles are delicious when eaten while they’re hot.”

Lu Jiu picked up the bowl and started to eat. The rice noodles soaked up the soup, and the spicy and fresh mutton perfectly blended, blooming the taste buds.

She puffed her cheeks and gave Zhuang Yun a thumbs up. Even if she couldn’t speak at this time, the other party could understand what she meant.

Shen Jufeng first picks the mutton to eat and decided after eating. From now on, he will only kill wild monsters above the normal level. This was the real delicacy.

Zhuang Yun saw that the two of them were eating without looking up, thinking that it would take time for the leg of lamb to cook, so he started eating too.

After Shen Jufeng finished eating a bowl of rice noodles, the leg of the lamb was ready. He and Zhuang Yun worked together to lift the leg of lamb to the side of the charcoal brazier together with the oven, and the three of them ate around it.

The three of them cut the meat with their daggers and ate it. The outer layer happened to be cut, and the rest of the meat continued to roast. Lu Jiu also helped to sprinkle the seasoning together.

Mutton and cumin were a perfect match. The roasted lamb leg was not too old. It was delicious when eaten with rice noodles.

A pot of fried rice noodles with mutton and a whole roasted leg of lamb, the three of them ate them all. Even a gentleman like Shen Jufeng also burped.

Lu Jiu exhaled for a long time and still smelled like mutton, “This taste is amazing. I’m going to learn from Brother Zhuang when I get back. It’s so delicious.”

And after eating, they felt warm and even a little sleepy.

“I will write down the production process at that time, and you will follow it when the time comes. It will not be difficult.”

Shen Jufeng said: “Give me some other recipes too.”

He also likes to cook his food now. This lamb was delicious, and it will be on the menu for a while.

Lu Jiu said: “Let’s not leave tomorrow and find more Colin sheep.”

Shen Jufeng nodded: “Well, let’s find more wild monsters of brown iron level.”

Zhuang Yun also said: “Speaking of which, I saw this kind of wool at several stalls in Dragon Flood City before. Maybe there are quite a lot of these sheep we hunted here today.”

Lu Jiu also thought the same: “That’s right, anyway, let’s take a look tomorrow. It’s rare for us to come here, at least, let’s accumulate enough food for the whole winter.”

She still needs to bring some more back to the restaurant. This Colin sheep was not only good in fur, but the meat also tasted delicious. The taste was only a little worse than wild boar pork, but the pork was different from mutton after all.

The three of them chatted for a while and then returned to their respective tents. Fortunately, a charcoal brazier was set up in the tent at the beginning, and it was not cold at all to sleep.

Lu Jiu even felt a little hot, so she took off her coat and lay down in the sleeping bag to feel warm all over. This sleeping bag was newly made and has the same warmth retention properties as winter clothes.

A must-have item for winter outings.

The charcoal brazier next to it was constantly emitting heat, and the sleeping bag was very warm. Soon Lu Jiu couldn’t open her eyes and slowly fell asleep with thoughts of how to find more Colin sheep tomorrow.

There were lights in the three tents in the wild, but luckily no wild monsters come over.
