Chapter 154: Tastes Really Good
Su Ran took down the hat from the simple clothes rack made of branches hanging at the door, put it on her head, and turned to walk out of the house.
But before she reached the house doorway, she bumped head-on into Hui, who was hurrying in.
When Hui stepped in from outside, his face still carried thick worry.
And the instant he saw Su Ran, he was stunned for a moment, then a happy expression appeared on his face.
“Ran Ran, not feeling bad anymore, woo?”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and hugged Su Ran, lowering his head to gently rub his cheek against her forehead.
“I’m fine now, much better!”
Su Ran comfortingly hugged him back and naturally lifted her head to kiss his chin.
Then she pulled Hui into the room and pointed out the newly built stove to him.
“Hui, this is the stove.”
“Woo?”
Hui looked along her finger, and upon seeing the stove’s appearance clearly, he twitched his ears and said to Su Ran: “With the stove, Ran Ran won’t be cold?”
After he spoke, Su Ran looked up at him in surprise and nodded quickly: “Yes, it can be used for heating oh~”
She hadn’t expected this wolf’s comprehension ability to have improved so quickly now.
Just by seeing the thing and knowing its name, he could already think of its use himself.
“Ran Ran is amazing~”
Hui looked at the stove, then turned his head and rubbed against Su Ran’s face again.
He was still very happy now that Su Ran could always make new things, but because he knew Su Ran could always make new things, no matter how special this thing was to the Beastman Continent, he had gradually stopped feeling so amazed by it.
After introducing the new item in the house, Su Ran pulled Hui outside, and as they walked, she asked him: “What prey did you bring back just now?”
“Seafood, and red-skinned pig woo~”
Hui obediently let Su Ran pull him outside.
Before stepping out of the house door, Su Ran had already seen the two red-skinned pigs that had been thrown not far from the door and were already dead.
Judging by their size, both red-skinned pigs were already adults, and after Hui killed them, he had brought them back in one go.
And next to the two red-skinned pigs, there was also a large bag stuffed full of seafood.
Looking at this, Hui’s strength had really increased a lot in such a short time.
One must know that in spring, Hui could only carry her while picking up one adult four-eared ox.
And that red-skinned pig was more than twice as heavy as her.
After coming out of the room, Hui let go of Su Ran, stepped forward to hold one red-skinned pig’s leg in each hand, then swung his arms forward with force, and the two red-skinned pigs were flung onto his shoulders on both sides together!
Hui directly carried the two red-skinned pigs toward the riverside.
Su Ran, who was dumbfounded by Hui’s sudden display of strength, followed toward the riverside after being stunned for two seconds.
At this moment, there were no other beastmen’s shadows on the river beach.
These beastmen had probably gone out to continue hunting again.
Su Ran followed behind Hui, watching him skillfully skin both red-skinned pigs.
Then, while watching him gut the red-skinned pigs, she said to him: “Hui, for these two red-skinned pigs, how about making sausage for you?”
“Woo?”
Hearing the word sausage, Hui’s eyes lit up immediately. He quickly wagged his tail at Su Ran and nodded rapidly: “Good, Hui likes sausage!”
However, after saying that, he suddenly frowned and looked at Su Ran: “But, Ran Ran still, feels bad.”
He frowned, seeming to think for a moment. Then he continued to Su Ran: “Ran Ran go back and sleep, make tomorrow!”
“Pfft!”
Su Ran couldn’t help laughing at Hui’s fully conflicted expression.
She squatted beside Hui, watching him pull the internal organs out of the red-skinned pig’s belly bit by bit, his movements not slowing at all even as he answered her.
Because Su Ran said she would make sausage, he was especially careful when pulling out those intestines, afraid of tearing their outer skin.
“I’ve already slept a long time, can’t sleep anymore.”
After laughing, Su Ran continued to Hui: “Let’s make more sausage, then freeze it. In winter, when eating, no need to make fresh, we’ll just sit by the stove and pan-fry sausage to eat.”
After speaking, Su Ran watched Hui’s throat bob obviously up and down, held back her laugh, and continued to him:
“It’s very delicious oh~”
“Gulp~”
His throat bobbed even faster!
Su Ran couldn’t help laughing out again.
She stopped teasing Hui, stood up and said something to him, then went back to the house to boil water.
In a bit, cleaning the small intestines would need water, and the river water now was already very icy cold, couldn’t wash directly in the river water anymore.
When Su Ran went back, the firewood in the stove was still burning.
She added a few more pieces inside, and after filling it, she didn’t put the stove lid on, but directly placed a tall stone jar with a handle and lid on top.
This was what Su Ran usually used as a water bottle for boiled drinking water.
Before there was no stove, she hadn’t thought of making a water bottle, now she could only temporarily use this water jar to replace it.
Su Ran boiled two jars of water with the stove.
When the second jar of water finished boiling, Hui had just finished processing the red-skinned pigs outside.
He carried back the two processed red-skinned pigs from the riverside and placed them on the long table in front of the house.
Su Ran walked over, took the small intestines that Hui had taken out and set aside, and put them in the wooden basin.
Then she put the wooden basin filled halfway with cool water on the ground beside the rain shelter.
Then she went to the place where plant ash was stored, brought over a basin of plant ash, first poured half into the wooden basin with the small intestines, added a bit of freshly boiled hot water to adjust the water temperature, then directly sat on the rain shelter’s floor and started kneading and washing these intestines.
While Su Ran was kneading and washing these intestines, Hui had already proactively started chopping the minced meat.
Because too much meat was needed, Su Ran didn’t require Hui to chop the minced meat all into paste, but stopped him when it still had some small granular texture.
Because they already had much experience making sausage many times, and actually each time was large-scale production, Su Ran and Hui were busy but not chaotic at all.
After cleaning the intestines, Su Ran washed her hands clean, went into the room to bring out Hui’s wooden chair, and placed it behind him.
She first had Hui sit on the chair to chop the filling, then went to the small wooden house.
On the wall to the left of the small wooden house doorway, several strings of animal intestines were hanging.
Those were internal organs from prey that Hui had hunted before, specially saved by Su Ran to make sausage this time.
Otherwise, relying only on these two sets of pig intestines from these two red-skinned pigs definitely wouldn’t be enough!
