章 11: Grilled Snake Meat

Tu Tu looked at the materials on the ground, tilted its head and asked, "Master, if these are good materials, why didn't those humans take them away? What they took away from this giant snake was only that small crystal. In my opinion, that little crystal is worth less than one percent of these materials."

Zhu Lin thought for a while and hesitantly said, "Maybe… They are already rich?"

Hearing what she said, Tu Tu was a little puzzled. Even in the Six Realms, no matter how rich someone is, no one will throw any good materials away without any reason.

Zhu Lin looked at the rabbit's expression and said helplessly: "Tu Tu, I'm not the worm in their stomachs. How do I know what they are thinking?"

After listening to her words, the rabbit nodded and said, "Um. Master is right."

Growl~

Before Zhu Lin could speak, her stomach made a sound. She's been hungry since morning. It's already very late now, but she still hasn't eaten. If she continued to starve, she felt she might starve to death. It would be very embarrassing for a god to starve to death, right?

Growl~

She rubbed her stomach and said, "Well, since we have the materials and cooking ingredients, let's eat first."

After speaking, she put everything into the ice flower pendant, and walked back to the bonfire with Tu Tu in her arms. Coming out of the forest, Zhu Lin saw there was still some ember left on the bonfire. She put down the firewood she picked up when she went back, and sat around the bonfire.

When Tu Tu was adding firewood to the bonfire, Zhu Lin took out a large piece of snake meat from the ice flower pendant. After cutting off the charred meat, the rest of the meat is still intact and can be used as cooking ingredients.

Just when Zhu Lin was thinking about how to cook the meat, Tu Tu had already rekindled the fire. The rabbit looked at its master, who was pondering for a long time, but still couldn't make up her mind about what to do with the piece of snake meat.

Tu Tu thinks that with her current behavior, it will take a year for its owner to start cooking. Tu Tu couldn't take it anymore and said, "Master, let me do it."

Zhu Lin looked at her rabbit and asked, "Can you cook?"

Tu Tu nodded and began to neatly slice the snake meat into a smaller piece. Seeing the rabbit's skilled movements, Zhu Lin curiously asked, "Tu Tu, do you eat meat?"

Tu Tu shook its head and said, "I'm only absorbing divine energy, or eating some spiritual vegetables."

After finishing speaking, the rabbit turned to look at its master and said, "Master, rabbits are herbivores. You should know about this, right?"

Zhu Lin coughed lightly, and said, "Of course I know. Since you said you can cook meat, I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Tu Tu narrowed its pair of red eyes slightly and asked suspiciously: "Really?"

"Tu Tu, gods don't lie." Zhu Lin replied calmly.

"All right. I believe in you, Master." Tu Tu said while using simple water spells to clean the snake meat.

Tu Tu moved skillfully, skewering the snake meat with a metal rod made by Ren Yuan. Fortunately, he killed the giant snake in this way, and they benefited a lot from it. Now, there is no need to find skewers to grill meat.

After the snake meat was skewered, Tu Tu inserted the metal rod on the ground around the bonfire, letting the snake meat roast slowly on the fire.

Zhu Lin looked at the oil oozing from the meat, and said, "I don't know what this meat will taste like."

Tu Tu thought for a while and said, "Master, you will know after you eat it."

They waited quietly for a while, watching the fire slowly roasting the meat. After a while, the aroma of grilled meat permeated the air. Smelling the fragrance in the air, Zhu Lin said, "Is the meat done now?"

This is the first time the rabbit is cooking, so Tu Tu does not know when the meat is cooked. The two looked at each other for a moment, and Tu Tu said, "The meat should be cooked now."

As a person who relies on rabbits to cook, Zhu Lin firmly believes in Tu Tu's words. She took out a dagger from the ice flower pendant and used that divine artifact as a kitchen knife. Slicing the snake meat into thin slices, Zhu Lin smelled it first, and then put the snake meat slices into her mouth.

The rabbit beside her widened its eyes, and asked curiously: "Master, how does it taste?"

Zhu Lin chewed the meat carefully, swallowed it, and said, "It doesn't have any taste, but it smells fragrant."

Hearing what she said, Tu Tu thought for a while and said, "Maybe we need to add some seasoning."

After speaking, the rabbit took out a small earthen jar from its spirit palace. Zhu Lin watched curiously as Tu Tu sprinkled some kind of powder on the grilled meat. She took a closer look and found that the powder was a mixture of several herbs.

A few seconds later, a more fragrant smell emanated from the grilled snake meat, and the rabbit said, "Master, you can try it again."

Zhu Lin was also very curious, so she sliced the grilled snake meat again and put it in her mouth. This time, she tasted a lot of different flavors in addition to the more fragrant smells. Unfortunately, it was her first time eating something, so she couldn't tell what it tasted like.

Tu Tu observed her expression and asked, "How is the taste this time?"

"It tastes better." Zhu Lin replied calmly, and continued eating the grilled snake meat.

Watching her eat the whole piece of grilled meat, Tu Tu smiled and said, "It seems that the mortals are not lying."
