Kapitel 687: 686. Anything said must be known_1

Hearing this voice, Lu Ban thought for a moment.

Although he had heard that polar bears often squatted in hollows in the ice, waiting for seals to come up for air, only to slap them unconscious when they poked their heads out and drag them ashore for a hefty meal.

Due to living in the frigid Arctic waters, seals have a thick layer of fat; coupled with constant movement, their muscles are very resilient, making them an excellent source of protein and calories. Moreover, such plump seals must taste delicious when grilled with a sprinkle of salt and pepper—just the thought made Lu Ban hungry.

For those living in the Arctic Circle, every part of the seal is treasure.

Besides the skin, which can be used for warmth, the Eskimos had once invented a notoriously stinky delicacy: they would empty the seal's innards, stuff seabirds into its belly, and leave them to ferment for months before sucking the rotted seabird paste through the seal's rear.
