Chapter 77: Making Sausage
After this misunderstanding that wasn’t really a misunderstanding, Su Ran’s interactions with Hui instead became even more intimate and natural.
After understanding her own state of mind, Su Ran calmly accepted the psychological change of developing feelings for a beastman.
So in her interactions with Hui, her actions began to become more and more unrestrained.
The last bit of boundary between her and Hui also gradually blurred and disappeared because of their mutual feelings.
Four days had already passed since that small disturbance.
Su Ran finally finished processing all the food that Hui had brought back.
That mountain-like prey, Su Ran had Hui skin all of it.
The collected fur was thrown into the water, and Hui scrubbed it all clean bit by bit.
It was now very familiar with this process and no longer needed Su Ran’s help throughout the entire thing.
With these additional fresh animal hides, Su Ran felt that at least within this year, she wouldn’t need to collect new fur anymore.
Of the prey meat that Hui had skinned, besides what they ate these past few days, Su Ran used some to stuff a bit of sausage, and another portion was exchanged with the beastmen.
So much meat, she and Hui couldn’t finish it in a short time, but if there were more people, it would only last one or two meals.
Su Ran used helping to make sausage as the exchange and distributed nearly half of the prey to the beastmen she had become more familiar with during this time.
This included Yao Yao, Qing Yu and Xiao Ju, A Jin and the others, as well as A Huo, Bai Bai, Xiao San and the others.
Just like on Earth, the young beastmen here accepted new things much faster than the older beastmen in the settlement.
For example, up to now, Xiao Ju, A Jin and Yao Yao, Qing Yu, these two pairs of little couples, had imitated Su Ran and Hui’s style and made animal hide clothing to wear on their bodies.
Although what they made wasn’t as good-looking as what Su Ran made, it was already enough to serve as covering.
These young beastmen had always maintained a high level of curiosity about the things Su Ran made.
So every time Su Ran wanted to make something and asked them for help, they never refused.
For the sausage casings, Su Ran used the small intestines of red-skinned pigs and white-headed sheep.
Just cleaning these casings, she called on Yao Yao, Xiao Ju, Bai Bai, Xiao San and them—a total of five people—and it took a full half day.
By the time the small intestines to be used as casings were processed, A Huo and the others had already chopped the minced meat.
Su Ran then added sea salt and chopped wild fruit meat to the minced meat to adjust its flavor.
Then she stuffed the seasoned minced meat into the cleaned small intestines.
After stuffing the meat, Su Ran tied both ends of each sausage segment with sheep wool yarn, then put the segmented sausages back into the pot to boil for a while.
Only after boiling did it count as completing half of the sausage making.
And for the sausage flavors, Su Ran made more than one kind.
Besides the normal salty flavor, she also made sweet spicy and fresh spicy seafood flavors. The sweet spicy one had chili fruit and chopped red fruit added.
The fresh spicy one had chili fruit and chopped oysters added.
When she saw A Huo chopping oysters into filling, Su Ran couldn’t help but silently complain to herself that she never thought there would be a day when she could be so extravagant as to use oysters to make sausage, and moreover, the oyster meat was just a supporting role in the sausage filling.
The amount of sausage Su Ran made this time was so much that it fully hung on two huge bird’s nest trees.
She also classified and marked the sausages made from different animals’ meat to see which animal’s meat made the best-tasting sausage.
The method of stuffing sausage was something Su Ran learned online by herself during the time she lived outside after her internship, when she had nothing to do.
She felt that no matter what animal’s meat it was, after seasoning, the taste wouldn’t be too bad.
After all, the meat quality of animals in this world was inherently several times better tasting than the meat sold in supermarkets on Earth.
Making sausage took Su Ran a full day.
In the evening, she distributed the remaining prey to a few young beastmen, and in the end, kept two white-headed sheep, three white wild chickens, and two dwarf deer for herself.
She first cut all the white-headed sheep mutton into large chunks, then put the chunked white-headed sheep mutton into a wooden basin.
Finally, she placed the wooden basin in the stream to cool, to be taken out the next day to refine mutton fat.
And the remaining three chickens and two dwarf deer were directly made into that evening’s dinner.
Because there was too much to do, that evening Su Ran and Hui returned a bit late.
The starry sky overhead was already as deep as ink, and by the river beach, bright sparks occasionally floated up from the campfire.
Hui was already squatting to one side, yawning sleepily.
Su Ran hurriedly stopped the action of wanting to process a bit more seafood.
Too focused on being busy, she had forgotten that the werewolf in front of her had been busy all night the previous day.
Although during the daytime it stubbornly guarded her by the riverside and slept for a while, in that outdoor environment with so many beastmen around, it naturally hadn’t slept well.
“Hui, put out the fire, we’re going back~”
Su Ran stood up and gradually packed the things to be put away into the backpack.
The werewolf squatting beside her, already drowsy, was still a bit dazed upon hearing her words.
It subconsciously “wu?”ed, then stood up following Su Ran.
Only when it saw Su Ran’s actions did it remember what Su Ran had just said.
So the next second, it immediately wagged its tail happily, let out an “ao wu~” toward Su Ran, and actively picked up the wooden basin to run to the riverside to fetch water.
The bright campfire let out a huge “sizzle~” sound after a basin of water was poured on it!
Immediately after, the scene near the river beach quickly merged into the same pitch-black night as the surroundings.
Su Ran’s vision suddenly changed from bright to dark, and for a moment she couldn’t see anything in front of her.
With the backpack on her back, she stood in place waiting for Hui to come over.
Then a few seconds later, a rustling sound of footsteps approached, and Hui’s reassuring voice sounded by her ear: “Ran Ran, let’s go~”
“Mm.”
Su Ran agreed, and soon felt herself being picked up by a pair of strong arms.
Because of the backpack on her back making it inconvenient, she was still held by Hui in the pose of carrying a child, with one arm supporting her buttocks and the other hand supporting her waist, and flew back into the bird’s nest.
At this time, the other bird’s nests and caves were already completely quiet.
Most of the beastmen had already entered dreamland.
Only from two slightly distant bird’s nests came faint intermittent panting sounds.
However, this sound was already almost habitual for Su Ran.
When she was first brought back by Hui, it was still okay.
Recently, with the change of seasons, she always felt that the beastmen’s emotions were becoming more and more agitated.
And this agitation specifically manifested as the symphony-like sounds rising and falling every evening around her and Hui’s bird’s nest outside, which almost always lasted nearly two hours each time…
Not sure what’s going on today, hit a bad writing block, rewrote a chapter after not being satisfied with the first one, it’s a bit better now, but double update is too late, if inspiration flows smoothly tomorrow, I’ll make it up as soon as possible
