Chapter 50: The girl asked the boy to eat goat eggs to replenish his body's strength...
After taking the water that Anya handed her, Qin Rushuang unwrapped it and was about to put it in her mouth, but she suddenly stopped.
She thought about the current shortage of bottles; if it comes into contact with her mouth when she just vomits, it will inevitably lead to the mouth of the bottle being contaminated.
She poured water into her palm and took it into her mouth to rinse it.
Qin Rushuang's actions were not very elegant, but they were indeed very effective in cleaning the area around her lips and mouth.
Then she answered Anya's question, "I feel sick when I see blood and internal organs."
"Oh? Why?" Anya was a little confused.
She was disgusted by cow balls, but after using them a few times, she got used to them.
As for the internal organs, they feel sticky to the touch, making it difficult to say if she likes them.
But after it's cooked, it's still acceptable, right?
“My sister and I were playing when we were young, and we were accidentally locked in the autopsy room together.” Qin Rushuang said in a low voice, “From then on, I was very afraid of bloody corpses.”
“So that's why.” With a slight nod, Anya looked at Qin Rushuang again with a bit of pity in her eyes. "Then, Qin Rushuang, please stop forcing yourself. Just listen to Zhang Liu and go get water,” she said.
“But...” Qin Rushuang turned to look at Zhang Liu, who was chopping internal organs on a wooden pile not far away, then said with great concern, “I really want to help.”
“Then go get water.” Anya scratched her head, then said, “My mother once told me that everyone has things they are good at, and there are bound to be things they are not good at. We should not be forced into the things we are not good at."
Under Anya's serious gaze, Qin Rushuang, who had originally thought of trying to adapt, nodded slightly and walked towards Zhang Liu, who was dealing with the internal organs next to the pond.
“Um...” Seeing Qin Rushuang coming, Zhang Liu's first reaction was to step forward to prevent the girl from seeing the internal organs. Then he asked anxiously, “Qin Rushuang, how are you? Are you okay now?”
“I'm fine.” Under Zhang Liu's anxious gaze, Qin Rushuang gently walked to his side, then apologized in a low voice, "I'm sorry…"
Zhang Liu was a little confused; he didn't know why Qin Rushuang suddenly apologized like this.
But after carefully looking at the other person's expression and eyes, Zhang Liu also realized that Qin Rushuang was only apologizing because she did not help with the internal organs.
“Well, girls from rich families like you can't stand bloody scenes!” Zhang Liu looked at Anya, who was walking, then couldn't help but complain, "Anya is an exception; she's too violent!"
He was also very impressed by Anya's act of rubbing sheep's intestines as clothes on the beach just now, and there were still black feces on it!
“Hmph! When I was so brave, you didn't even know what you were doing!” Anya raised her head proudly, then extended her hand and placed her hand on Qin Rushuang's shoulder, who looked embarrassed. She said, “Xiao Rushuang, are you planning to show off in front of Zhang Liu again?”
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
“Xiao… Xiao Rushuang?” Qin Rushuang looked a little surprised when she heard Anya calling her like that.
"Hmph! Hum hum!" Without explaining the title, Anya looked at Zhang Liu and said in a very serious tone, “Zhang Liu, you are not allowed to arrange bloody functions in front of Xiao Rushuang in the future. She had a psychological problem that he kept with her when she was a child.”
“Oh! I see. I will pay attention in the future.” Zhang Liu nodded without asking any further questions and walked away with the shells in his hands. Before leaving, he did not forget to tell Qin Rushuang, “Bring plenty of water, please. After it is ready, we will prepare the soup.
“I'm here to help you slice the skewers into thin slices!” Letting go of Xiao Rushuang, who had to step on her feet to hold her shoulders, Anya quickly ran to keep up with Zhang Liu.
As someone who has high requirements for tasting skewers, she is willing to cut off the internal organs herself.
Qin Rushuang was left standing there, blinking in a daze.
She wasn't expecting that at all.
What she thought was a big matter—the fear of internal organs and fresh corpses—actually jumped out like that in front of Anya and Zhang Liu.
After some time had passed, Qin Rushuang started pouring water, ran at intervals to the nearby fire, and used stones to build a stove suitable for holding oyster shells.
Although Zhang Liu didn't say that she should prepare the stove herself, she understood Anya's words at this moment.
You should find things you can do rather than think about things you should do yourself.
“She really shocked me...” Zhang Liu was sitting on the shore, about twenty meters away from the cave, watching Anya grind a piece of metal with a finer pebble. He said, “I thought now that Qin Rushuang ate something poisonous!”
Qin Rushuang started vomiting without warning, and Zhang Liu was truly frightened.
On such a deserted island, if something like food poisoning happened, the consequences could only be described as serious.
“It seems that Xiao Rushuang was imprisoned in the dissection room when she was a child, and she was afraid of corpses.” Using her fingers to gently manipulate the freshly ground metal plates, Anya felt the tingling sensation that only comes from the sharpness, then she turned around and said, “You have to be more careful in the future!”
“Why did your relationship with her suddenly become so good? And you still call her Xiao Rushuang?” Zhang Liu nodded seriously, indicating that he heard that, and then he couldn't help but complain about the name that Anya said.
“Don’t you understand this? I’m pretty sure now that Qin Rushuang can’t adapt to this place like me, so as a strong person, I have to protect someone as weak as her!” Anya said proudly, “You have to work hard to prove yourself; otherwise, I will name you Xiao Liu!”
“...” Seeing Anya’s suddenly proud look, Zhang Liu was speechless for a moment, but he obediently handed over a piece of mutton liver from which the blood had been removed and said, “Here, let’s start cutting and roasting.”
Speaking of which, think also of the mutton, which was thickly covered with plant ash and had a lot of flies following the scent on it.
"What do you think about it?" She reached out to take the lamb liver from Zhang Liu's hand, then cut it into thin slices. Looking at the thoughtful expression on the other person's face, Anya asked, "Do you also want to call her Xiao Rushuang? This is a nickname that can only be used among girls!"
"No!" Zhang Liu snapped out of his thoughts, looked at the girl next to him wordlessly, and then said, “I was thinking that later, after breakfast, I would dig up the lamb carcass and then use that hole to make braised lamb!”
"Slow-roasted lamb?” Anya tilted her head slightly, clearly unfamiliar with this name.
I only ate whole, roasted lamb.
The only other dish that can be linked is the roasted Kwangudi duck.
"Yes!" With a slight nod, Zhang Liu picked up the open and washed lamb stomach and handed it to Anya, then continued, “We have no oil, so it is definitely not realistic to make a whole roasted lamb, and there is no knife that cuts the meat while grilling it, to be like a Turkish kebab!”
Anya, who was cutting the sheep's stomach into pieces with metal plates, sighed silently after hearing these words.
Zhang Liu is absolutely right.
She really wished the internals were cut thin and neat, so she could control the heat of the grill.
But for now, being able to shred is a huge accomplishment.
"So do you know how to do that?" Anya, who had already started cutting the lamb heart but was unable to cut it into thin slices after trying several times, could only move her sore arm and then talk to Zhang Liu about the production process.
“I don’t know, but I’ve seen related videos.” Zhang Liu smiled, then placed a relatively thin piece of lamb heart that Anya had cut on a damp branch and said, “How about grilling five skewers first, and then grilling another five skewers? These skewers should be eaten fresh to be delicious."
“No! Xiao Rushuang may not be able to see the blood. It’s better to get more at once and bake it.” Anya didn’t know how phobic Qin Rushuang was.
But considering that the other party had vomited directly in the morning, she still rejected Zhang Liu's suggestion to prepare five skewers first. Instead, she wanted to skewer them all first, then put them directly over the fire and roast them. Together, it's no longer bloody.
“Okay.” After swallowing, Zhang Liu suppressed the hunger in his stomach and continued to skewer the meat with his head down.
Anya also speeded up the process of cutting meat.
She wasn't foolish, so of course she could say that Zhang Liu suggested cooking first because he was hungry.
But at this moment, Anya suddenly thought of something, so she turned to look at Zhang Liu and asked, “What about the sheep balls?”
"Haa?" Zhang Liu was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what Anya was talking about.
Only then did he react to the other party's strange downward look.
“These two things... I haven’t cut them yet.” Zhang Liu asked awkwardly, “Why do you ask?”
“When the meat is cut later, I will grill it for you, and then you can quickly eat it to replenish your body’s strength.” As soon as Anya said this, her face turned red, but she still insisted on finishing the sentence, “You can’t always think about taking care of others. Sometimes, you have to take care of yourself. I remember my father saying, Men eat this tonic!"
"Cough, cough, cough..."
After coughing awkwardly a few times, Zhang Liu didn't say anything in response but rather sped up his hand movements, trying hard not to let the internal flesh build up.
He really wanted to complain that he didn't need to eat balls to make up for it yet.
