Became a salted fish pretend heiress and handed over the system-Chapter 1008 - 997: Interstellar Plane 33

When Qin Muyang fetched firewood for the fifth time, Xia Yue had finished preparing the Thorny Pig Beast, cleaning and storing the meat in a large basin.

Xia Yue then brought out a large pot. Fortunately, she had thought ahead, so all these preparations were above board. The instructors who were checking the items were baffled when they saw her setting up the pot stand; they had thought it was part of her defense arsenal, never guessing she intended it for cooking.

Xia Yue cooked a pot of marinade, placing parts of the meat suitable for braising into it, instructing Qin Muyang to watch the fire, making sure it was neither too high nor too low.

She also set up a smaller pot to render fat from the fatty parts of the meat because she planned to deep-fry, but the oil she brought was only enough for everyday stir-frying. To deep-fry, she had to render oil from the meat, and they could deep-fry more items they would bring back later.

"What are you doing?" Qin Muyang curiously asked as he looked at the white chunks of fat in her pot.

"Rendering oil. The oil I brought isn’t enough for all the food, so I can use this batch for rendering," Xia Yue replied as she turned the meat to prevent it from sticking and burning at the bottom, and then she went back to flipping the meat in the marinade to ensure it was well-flavored.

While Xia Yue and her team were busy, Yan Mo and his group had killed many Star Beasts, keeping those similar to the animals on Blue Star edible. When they sensed it was almost time to rest, they brought their hunt to where Xia Yue and her group were.

"What are you guys doing?" Ming Yue asked as they arrived, looking at the large pots each stationed.

"You guys are back, go wash your face by the river. There’s juice I made on the table, have a drink and take a break. I’ve already prepared the food, braised meat with rice stew." Xia Yue spoke as she looked into the pot with the frying meat.

"We brought back one Bull Beast and five Sharp-beaked Beasts, you could make some meat sauce or jerky this afternoon," Yan Mo said, placing the hunted animals on the ground.

"Alright." Xia Yue assessed the size of the Bull Beast and Sharp-beaked Beasts, thinking that after processing these, they wouldn’t have to worry about getting hungry for the time being.

"This afternoon you don’t need to bring back any hunted animals. These will be enough for us to eat for several days. We’ll hunt again after we’ve finished eating," Xia Yue said after her assessment.

"Alright," Ming Xing quickly washed up by the river and ran back saying.

After they had washed up, they came back, sat down, and drank some juice, which tasted sweet and sour, and quite delicious.

"This fruit juice is really nice, I’ve had wild fruit juices before, and they were very sour," Ming Xing commented as he looked at the juice in his cup.

"I added some syrup, that’s why it tastes good," Xia Yue explained.

"Rest well. There’s stewed rice in the pot, very tasty, you guys eat," Qin Muyang looked up and said as they settled down.

"Okay, what did you guys make?" Ming Yao put down his juice and immediately went over to where Qin Muyang pointed, opened the lid of the pot, and was greeted by an inviting aroma which made him spontaneously swallow his saliva, his appetite whetted, and he served himself a bowl to start eating.

"Delicious, really delicious, what meat is this? It smells so good?" Ming Yao’s eyes lit up instantly as he spoke.

"It’s Thorny Pig Beast Meat, I’ve stewed it here, and there’s also fried meat. I added some salt and pepper, the flavor is great. Try it too, when you go out this afternoon, each put some in your Space Button, take it out to eat when you are hungry. If you find it greasy, use the bottles from the Nutritious Liquid you finished earlier to carry some juice to cut the grease," Xia Yue said while attending to the pot.

"Okay. Have you guys eaten?" Ming Yao went over, picked some fried meat, nodded in acknowledgment to her words, and then looked back at the others still tending to the frying saying.

"We ate first, those are all yours, if not enough, I’ll make some more noodles for you," Xia Yue said.

Xia Yue’s large pot of rice was completely consumed by them, along with two big plates of fried meat.
