Chapter 56 Full Bear Banquet

Everyone looked at the black bear brought back by Li Yuan and Hong Qigong, their eyes filled with shock.

Even the always calm Li Mochou stared at the black bear that Li Yuan carried back, with surprise in her beautiful eyes.

"Yuan'er, is this the game you are talking about? But this is too big!" Xiao Longnu said.

The black bear that Li Yuan hunted was as tall as two people, and its body was extremely fat. If it were taken apart and made into bacon, it would be enough to keep everyone present through this winter.

Yang Guo and Hong Lingbo were even more curious. Hong Lingbo even stepped forward to see if the black bear was dead and poked the black bear's head twice with his finger.

There were no black bear lovers present, and no one thought it was inappropriate to kill the bear.

After all, in the Qinling Mountains where Huashan Mountain is located, there are often wild animals such as tigers and black bears doing evil.

These wild beasts in the mountains often attack woodcutters and farmers who go up the mountain to cut firewood. Even in winter, when they are short of food, they will come down the mountain and break into villages to attack villagers.

Every year, countless people die under their claws.

Li Yuan's bear hunting today is actually beneficial to the local people.

Hong Qigong smiled at this time and said: "Haha, little girl, there are a lot of black bears up and down this mountain range. Old beggar, I usually eat a lot of pheasants and other things. This is my first time seeing a black bear. What are you waiting for?

What? Let’s make a fire and cook?”

As soon as Hong Qigong said these words, Xiao Longnu and others all looked at Li Yuan.

Xiao Longnu is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but she has no talent for cooking.

Li Mochou has great martial arts skills and is good at using the Ice Soul Silver Needle. She is famous in the world, but her cooking skills are also worrying.

Although Yang Guo and Hong Lingbo could make simple food, in Li Yuan's opinion, their craftsmanship was so poor that it was simply unsightly, and the food they made could only fill the stomach.

So after Grandma Sun passed away, Li Yuan was responsible for cooking among the group.

But fortunately, Li Yuan has memories before time travel, and coupled with more than a year of training in the ancient tomb, Li Yuan is now basically half a master chef.

Hong Qigong looked at Li Yuan and asked unexpectedly: "Can you cook?"

Although it is not surprising that children from ordinary families can cook at this age, for a young man like Li Yuan who has mastered martial arts, it is a bit rare to be able to cook.

"Know a little bit."

Li Yuan thought for a while, and the best way to learn martial arts from Hong Qigong was to start with his gluttony.

Today's meal must not be perfunctory.

So Li Yuan ordered Yang Guo: "You and Hong Lingbo ride horses to a nearby village to buy some seasonings for cooking meat. If there is an iron pot, buy a big iron pot. By the way, buy a few kilograms of local good wine.

Today I will cook a whole bear feast for you all, a delicious meal."

Then Li Yuan turned to look at Xiao Longnu and Li Mochou: "Master, Master, please go to the nearby stream to catch a few fish. They say you can't have both, so today I'm going to do both.

Both delicious dishes.”

After that, Li Yuan began to deal with the black bears.

He used a long sword instead of a kitchen knife, cut a long line along the center of the black bear's belly, took out the heart, liver and other internal organs and dried them separately on one side, then chopped off the four bear paws and placed them on the other side.

Then Li Yuan carefully cut the fat pork belly, tenderloin, thigh meat, etc. from the bear's body separately, and placed them on the stone slab next to him for later use.

Soon after, Yang Guo and Hong Lingbo came back with their things.

Bear meat is game and is much fishier than ordinary pork and mutton. If the fishy smell is not removed, it will be unpalatable no matter how you cook it.

So Li Yuan lit a fire, set up an iron pot, and put in spirits and various seasonings to remove the fishy smell from the bear meat.

Especially the heart, liver, offal and bear paws had a stronger fishy smell than the outside meat. Li Yuan carefully removed the fishy smell several times before the fishy smell was completely eliminated.

After seven or eight hours passed, the moon hung over the mountain and the sky was filled with stars.

Xiao Longnu and Li Mochou also rushed back. They brought a lot of wild vegetables and fruits from the mountains and forests, as well as a few fat and big carps.

Bear paws are the most difficult to handle. Even if the fire is strong in the iron pot, they cannot be stewed until they are tender in a short time.

In order to speed up the cooking process, Li Yuan closed the lid of the iron pot, spread out his palms, and covered the iron pot with his Nine Yang internal energy to increase the pressure inside the iron pot, forming a simple version of a pressure cooker.

When Hong Qigong saw Li Yuan's cooking method, his evaluation of Li Yuan's strength went up to a new level.

As long as Li Yuan's internal force is weak, he will not be able to cover the entire iron pot with his internal force. If the quality of the internal force is not strong enough, he will not be able to form pressure in the pot and accelerate the process of cooking meat.

About half an hour later.

The gourmet meals were finally served on the stone table.

Braised bear meat, steamed bear ribs, sweet and sour bear tenderloin, musu bear meat, cold bear ears with fungus, stir-fried bear heart and liver slices

Of course, there is also the most important dish, fish and bear paws created by Li Yuan.

This dish is made from the fattest right forepaw of the black bear and the fresh big carp from the stream. The moment it was put on the stone table, even Hong Qigong, who has traveled all over the world and eaten famous food all over the world, was stunned.

.

The bear's paws are plump and tender, and paired with the big carp underneath, they not only look good, but the fragrance they emit makes people's mouths water.

"Senior, please!"

"Haha, I'm an old beggar and I won't be polite!"

Hong Qigong is a glutton, and Li Yuan's outstanding cooking skills hit his vital spot, and he couldn't wait any longer.

When the others saw Hong Qigong moving his chopsticks, they stopped being polite and started to use them one after another.

Under the quiet night sky of Huashan Mountain, everyone gathered around the stone table and fire, eating delicacies of bear meat and sipping old wine. They were forgetful for a while.

Even Xiao Longnu, who never drank alcohol, had two drinks under Li Yuan's persuasion. Her fair face turned red and looked extremely beautiful under the light of the fire.

The dozen or so dishes prepared by Li Yuan were all eaten by everyone in the end, and not even a piece of meat was wasted.

After Hong Qigong had eaten his fill, he took a swig of wine with a look of satisfaction on his face.

He smiled and said to Li Yuan: "With your cooking skills, it would be a pity not to become a cook. Old beggar, this is the first time I have eaten such a delicious whole bear feast! I have no regrets in this life, no regrets in this life!"

"

I drank a few more sips of wine.

Hong Qigong looked a little drunk on his face. He smiled and said to Li Yuan: "I am an old beggar who does not eat for free. I have a golden dart here. Although it is a little small, it is enough to pay for this meal."

As he spoke, he took out a gold dart from his arms and handed it to Li Yuan.

Li Yuan was quite familiar with this plot. Hong Qigong also used this golden dart to test Guo Jing back then. Unexpectedly, Hong Qigong would still use this golden dart to test him today.

But what Li Yuan is most in need of is money. After all, there are still tens of thousands of taels of silver left by Wang Chongyang hidden in the ancient tomb.

When Hong Qigong saw that Li Yuan refused to accept the golden dart, he said in a drunken manner: "In this case, old beggar, I can only teach you a martial art to repay the kindness of this hospitality."
