The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Seventy-Seven)
Human beings' desire for delicious food is insatiable, and Song Ning is no exception.
Even though it's the end of the world, if you have the means to have a good meal, who wouldn't want to enjoy it?
As Song Ning thought about it, she rinsed the lettuce again to make sure it was clean and free of any residue. The neat, green leaves were placed on the wicker basket to drain, just waiting to be paired with the grilled meat later.
After thinking for a moment, Song Ning searched again and found a small bag of dried shiitake mushrooms.
This was a housewarming gift that Han Shuang brought when she came to check on the house half a month ago. Han Shuang also has quite a few good things. Unlike Song Ning, although Han Shuang also bought a house in the base, it is located in a place that is a little further inside the base.
It is said that it is even very close to Captain Man's house. Han Shuang's original words were, "I am definitely not safe living alone, so it is more worthwhile to spend a lot of money to move to a place where I can feel safe living alone."
Song Ning's comment on this was, "Should we move to live next to Captain Man's house?"
That definitely makes me feel very safe.
"Is the meat cut up? I'll soak some shiitake mushrooms in hot water. They'll taste even better than the meat when they're grilled. You have to try them later."
Song Ning walked over to Lance with the mushrooms in her hand, and as expected, she saw a mountain of meat piled up next to Lance.
"You like to eat shiitake mushrooms?"
Lance glanced at him briefly and then gave him a thoughtful look, an expression that Song Ning was all too familiar with.
The last time Lance showed this expression, he was greeted with a large number of sheep to deal with.
Thinking of that bittersweet scene from back then, Song Ning quickly shook her head.
"I do like barbecue, but barbecue seasoning is so hard to come by these days. I reckon we won't be able to have it again for at least a year or two after this meal. This amount of mushrooms is enough for us."
Han Shuang was already very generous. Dried shiitake mushrooms are a type of dried good that can be stored for several years without any problems. The small bag in his hand looks light, but it was actually quite valuable before the apocalypse.
Song Ning poured the whole bag out without feeling bad; he wanted Lance to taste more delicious food than to feel bad about it.
"I understand."
Lance nodded, without saying that he knew anything. Song Ning didn't think much of it either. The two of them stood on either side of the kitchen, preparing the ingredients needed for the upcoming lavish barbecue feast.
Thinly sliced fresh lamb, thickly sliced snowflake beef, a whole rack of marinated lamb chops, and more than a dozen kinds of meat, including square pieces of fatty meat, were placed in a large pot next to the Crystal Core Sun. Song Ning and Lan Si sat cross-legged facing each other instead of snuggling together in the big cat bed, which was quite unusual.
Song Ning rubbed her fingers, which were slightly cold from being wet, and then reached close to the crystal core sun to warm them.
Next to them was a makeshift grill they had prepared, which was the rusty iron pot from before. A clean metal mesh was placed on top of it, and the charcoal underneath had turned white from the previous underground exploration.
Song Ning couldn't hide the smile on his face just by looking at it, not to mention the tender lettuce leaves in the wicker basket next to the big pot of meat.
"This was an enviable life before the apocalypse; it felt like a dream."
He mumbled as if he were talking in his sleep, but his hands moved quickly.
He picked up his chopsticks and precisely placed a few large, thick snowflakes on the grill. With a sizzling sound, the scalding hot grill released a fragrant aroma of meat.
Song Ning swallowed hard, trying her best to maintain a professional demeanor while teaching Lanscop.
"Like this, put some large pieces aside to bake slowly, and then we'll bake some thinner pieces first, because thinner pieces cook faster and can be eaten immediately."
As he spoke, he deftly picked up a chopstick and placed seven or eight thin slices of meat on the table, but this time he placed them on a small stone slab placed next to him.
"This kind of stone slab grilling is perfect for thin slices, and it tastes really good. But it's a good thing you knew there were such stone slabs by the lake, otherwise you wouldn't be able to eat this kind of meat."
The stone slab covered with slices of meat was carefully selected and brought back from the lake when Lan went to fetch water after Song Ning mentioned wanting to eat stone slab grilled meat.
The stone slab is smooth and flat on both sides, and its thickness is just right.
After receiving it, Song Ning immediately washed it clean and then sterilized it several times with boiling water. Now it's perfect for making stone grill meat.
"Okay, tell me what you want next time, and I'll know where to find it."
Lance readily agreed; he wasn't lying, he genuinely had a gut feeling that he could make whatever his humans wanted.
As for how to get it, Lance only knew that he had this feeling, but he couldn't explain it clearly.
"Things are actually fine now. We basically have everything we want, and there's nothing I particularly want."
Song Ning smiled. He didn't think Lance was lying, but he understood it to mean that Lance knew exactly what was in his territory, which was beyond doubt.
"But I still want to thank you, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to eat such delicious stone-grilled meat."
Lance doesn't like hearing his humans say thank you. He thinks it's something he should do, and the fact that his humans always say thank you makes him feel a little annoyed.
But he couldn't explain his thoughts, so he could only sulk and remain silent for a second.
"The meat looks grayish on both sides, and it's done when the slices curl up. Try it and see."
Song Ning was so focused on the grilled meat that she didn't notice Lance's expression. With quick and precise chopsticks, she scooped up most of the meat slices from the stone slab and placed them on the plate in front of Lance, her eyes sparkling with anticipation as she looked at him.
Lance glanced down at the roast meat on the plate and the pair of chopsticks next to it, and suddenly felt a little regretful.
Previously, humans would feed him directly, but after he accidentally revealed that he could use chopsticks, the humans blushed and made him a new pair of wooden chopsticks. Now he no longer enjoys the same privileges.
Lance felt a pang of regret. He picked up a piece of roasted meat, dipped it in the expensive seasoning they had acquired at the base, and put it in his mouth. After chewing it a couple of times, his tone rose slightly.
"good to eat."
"Right? It's really delicious."
Seeing Lan Si's delighted smile, Song Ning couldn't wait to dip his chopsticks in the dry dipping sauce and put a mouthful of grilled meat into his mouth as well.
The aroma is wonderful. The grilled meat is still full of juicy meat, which blends perfectly with the spices in the dry dipping sauce. The rich aroma is accompanied by the scent of charcoal on the surface. The complex aroma and the rich meat juice fill the entire nasal cavity and mouth, and a large amount of saliva bursts out and is swallowed in an instant.
It's so delicious! This is an absolute feast!
