Chapter 164 Returning to the camp to do some small business (1)

Ye Na didn't go to check on the wounded. After she put grass on the deer, she ran to the kitchen to prepare some dishes.

"The wounded need something high in protein. I have some legs from a female spider before it laid eggs. How about steaming two?"

Ye Nai held two thick spider legs and said to the cooks who were peeling potatoes at the kitchen door.

They took one look at the leg and quickly called the squad leader.

The head cook lifted his apron and walked over quickly while wiping his hands.

"Such a powerful energy, it's really a spider leg before laying eggs!"

The mother spider needs to accumulate energy in order to lay eggs. If she is killed before laying eggs, the huge amount of energy will remain in her flesh. The awakened person can sense it himself without the need for a special energy detection needle to test the flesh of exotic animals.

Of course, if you want to know the exact energy value, you still need to use an energy detector, set standards and classify it into grades before selling it to the outside world.

It doesn't have to be so troublesome if you eat it yourself.

"A leg like this isn't cheap out there, are you really going to eat it?"

"Eat it. I originally saved it for myself. I have those humpback deer. This trip won't be a loss. Steam it and give it to the wounded to heal their wounds."

"You don't need two, just cut off one piece."

"No, no, let's all eat together, no special treatment."

"Okay, thanks."

"I have some fresh vegetables here. Let's get them together. I'm clearing out my stock and won't touch yours."

Ye Na knew that when people from the danger zone were sent to the front-line camp for a mission, they would definitely bring a batch of supplies. With so many people, they would need at least two meals, and a lot of the supplies that had just been replenished would have to be sent down again. It was very hard to be stationed in the front-line camp. Anyway, she had some supplies, so she would save some for them.

"This vegetable is incredible, so juicy."

"From the vegetable garden?"

"No, no, I'm just a guy carrying a load on the side of the road."

"Okay, okay, okay, let's change the menu. Let's eat these today."

The squad leader took the two thighs and took them into the kitchen to clean them up, while his soldiers packed up the vegetables on the ground. Yenne wandered around with empty hands and bumped into a little deer that was trying to run out of the yard.

The little deer, who had been traumatized by having their fur stroked, saw the most terrifying two-legged beast and slipped on all fours to escape back to the trailer.

They think that places with abundant food are the safest, and have no idea that places are the most dangerous. If they are not careful, other bipeds will grab them by the neck and legs and throw them into the car.

Ye Nai walked back and forth with her hands in her pockets. She was about to sit down in a shady place to play a few games when Captain Xiao Ni found her with a bag.

"Xiao Ye, come here and tell me something."

"What's the matter?"

Ye Na put the handheld game console she had just taken out back into the space and jumped over, showing her youthful liveliness.

Captain Xiao Ni opened the bag in his hand and showed it to her.

Inside are wooden branches with flowers and leaves.

"Branches of the nine-edged vine and branches of the ridge tree? For me? No mistakes?" Ye Na didn't dare to answer and spoke in a low voice.

"It hasn't been credited yet, so don't make a mistake. This is the only valuable thing we have. As you can see, we are all from a dangerous area because we can take this mission. Let's be frank. You just took two spider legs and a bunch of vegetables, right? I'll trade them for some exotic beast meat."

"Yes, but there are no birds, only beasts and fish and shrimp."

"Okay, okay. Just make sure it's different from the local exotic animals. Let's eat something fresh. Come, collect it, and come over here."

Captain Xiao Ni stuffed the bag into Ye Na's hand and took her back to the kitchen door.

In addition to the soldiers working here, there were three more middle-aged men. Captain Xiao Ni introduced them as the company commander, deputy company commander and quartermaster of this camp. Ye Nai politely shook hands with the three of them, exchanged a few words, and learned about their specific needs.

The front-line camps are free to hunt and have no shortage of meat, but the meat of all the exotic animals edible near the camp has basically been eaten, especially the hares and wild mice that can be found everywhere. They don't want to eat them anymore, but they have to hunt them. Hares like to dig holes, and wild mice eat everything. If they are not controlled, the camp will suffer.

Hares and wild mice are both lean meats with very little fat, so they want to eat something high in fat.

"Do you have any big basins? Bring me two big basins so I can take a few samples of meat and see?"

Immediately, a soldier brought two large stainless steel vegetable washing basins with a diameter of 1 meter and placed them on the ground.

Ye Na placed a circle of various kinds of meat around the bottom of the first basin, all of which were good meat with alternating fat and lean texture.

The second basin contains fish, shrimp and meat, which are also placed in a circle around the bottom of the basin. In the middle of the bottom of the basin, there is fresh fish roe.

"Wow, you actually have fish roe? Can fish roe be eaten?" Captain Xiao Ni was surprised. Ye Nai really had something good in her hand.

"These are edible, would you like to try them?"

Ye Na quickly took out one of her folding tables and put out several dishes including grilled fish, shrimp and braised fish roe.

To save time, she always made a large portion, stored it in a storage space while it was hot, and scooped it out with a clean spoon when eating.

The cook who was watching on the side immediately went into the kitchen and brought public spoons and small bowls and spoons for everyone.

Fish roe is the first thing everyone tastes.

With that one sip, you can feel strands of energy exploding in your mouth, flowing into your throat and groin like a gentle stream of water.

"Wow!"

“This is really edible fish roe!”

“It’s delicious and gives me lots of energy.”

"It's so rare that I actually came across edible fish roe."

"Try the shrimp and fish too." Yenne greeted with a smile.

Although she did not reach the edge of the wetland this time, she encountered other rivers along the way, otherwise how could she refill the ton barrels with water.

Wherever there are rivers, there are fish, shrimps and crabs. Although they look strange, if she puts them in the space, the mycelium will leave edible meat for her.

This fish roe is what is left over from the piles of fish.

There are only two large basins.

Ye Nai suspected that she entered the secret realm at the wrong month. The weather was starting to get warmer, and there were fewer fish species that were still laying eggs. If she came in earlier next year, she might be able to get more fish eggs.

"Sure, sure. Shrimp is shrimp. It is the species with the most normal meat ratio."

"Fish meat is also OK. This is a fish fillet. It has no bones except for the big bone. That one is a fish fillet. Look, this big piece is almost the whole piece of meat with the head and tail removed."

"Well, it seems that the meat ratio of seafood is better, just like the local seafood of Blue Star."

"And it doesn't have the fishy smell that is typical of exotic animal meat. It's very clean, and has the fresh taste of seafood."

"Yes, besides the smell of meat and energy, there are fishy smells, stinky smells, bitter smells, and all kinds of weird smells."

"Haha, it tastes like wild game as soon as you eat it."

Ye Na listened to them praising and scratched her head uncomfortably.

The exotic animal meat in her hands did not have those strange smells. In fact, these smells could be removed artificially, but it would take time and effort.

The odor actually comes from the muscles, but compared with the surrounding muscles, it is a bit grayer, blacker, and other darker colors. These muscle strips need to be cut out manually along the direction of the muscles, and the meat will be clean.

If you cook the meat together without cleaning it out, even if only a little bit remains, the result will be the same and no amount of spices can remove the odor.
