Chapter 594
No one cared who said it, but everyone's actions were surprisingly consistent.
Everyone casually stuck the skewered forest frogs upside down in front of the fire and used thick sticks to take the lunch box off the fire.
To be honest, using a lunch box to cook things is really hard to use. The main thing is that lunch boxes in this era don't have handles, and the whole thing is smooth without any grip points.
To tell the truth, it was really damn hot! But this thing also has an advantage: if you use it to stew meat, perhaps because the seal is relatively good, the stewed food is fragrant and tender.
Not daring to touch the lunch box with their hands, everyone used their hunting knives or military knives to pry open the lid.
After opening the lid, a very rich and alluring aroma immediately rushed towards them.
Just like other animal meat, it has a unique taste after being stewed. After the forest frog is stewed, it carries a fresh fragrance, which makes people feel particularly clean when smelling it, and there is also a hint of rice fragrance.
It must be said that delicious food doesn't need any culinary skills, nor does it need this or that kind of awesome seasoning. It can even be done without salt and water; it just needs to be simply cooked.
Just like the roasted forest frogs everyone just ate, they actually didn't have any seasoning, and there was no salt either.
As for the lack of salt, it's not that everyone didn't want to add salt, nor is it that everyone had finished all the salt they brought into the mountains or fed it all to the horses.
Although the vast majority of the salt was fed to the horses, everyone still kept two or three taels of salt.
The purpose of keeping some salt was in case they killed a wild beast, so they could use it when eating the meat.
The fundamental reason for not adding salt was that roasted forest frog tastes good with salt and also tastes good without it. Adding salt or not doesn't make much difference, and without salt, the taste can be even more unique.
Of course, the forest frogs stewed in the lunch box had salt added. After all, forest frog soup is also delicious, and no one would waste it. But no matter how delicious soup is, if there is no salt, it's not as good as drinking cold water.
It must be said that the saying "Soup without salt is not as good as water, a person without money is not as good as a ghost" is absolutely a brilliant and lightning-fast truth.
Everyone broke off tree branches to use as chopsticks, picked up a forest frog, blew on it, and put it all into their mouths. Those with small mouths took a bite, and that was fine too. The feeling made people subconsciously close their eyes, wanting to carefully savor the invincible deliciousness of the forest frog meat.
The stewed forest frog was slippery and tender, and the fresh fragrance instantly filled their mouths. There was no need to chew hard; just close the teeth gently a few times.
Before one forest frog was even swallowed, another was already clamped on the chopsticks. Eating this thing is just too damn happy! From the moment everyone opened the lunch box, everyone shut their mouths; not a single person was talking.
The whole scene, besides the "crackling" sound made by the burning flames, was the "hissing" sound of everyone being burned, and of course, the "gurgling" sound of everyone swallowing food.
Soon, everyone's lunch box of forest frogs was consumed, and it wasn't until they had finished all the soup in the lunch box that everyone began to express their feelings one after another.
Wu Dong sighed with a solemn face:
"I've eaten forest frogs for so many years, but I feel that the ones I ate today are the best. It seems like all the forest frogs I ate before were eaten in vain."
Ma Guoqiang also said very puzzledly: "Mm, why do I feel that the forest frogs today are the most delicious things I've ever eaten in my life?" He Liang heard this and replied with a puzzled face: "That's right, I haven't eaten less good food before, and I felt it was quite good at the time, but I didn't have this feeling today. What the hell is going on?"
Sun Nian suddenly said with a resentful face:
"This is too delicious, I feel like I won't be able to taste this flavor again."
Wang Shuai also nodded repeatedly:
"Indeed, the taste of the forest frogs today has made me completely unable to forget it. Even if I want to forget it, I can't."
But after Wang Shuai finished this sentence, he suddenly changed the subject and said to Wang An with a resentful face: "It's all your fault, you had to cause trouble just by going to the bathroom. What should we do from now on? Where can we go to eat such delicious food?"
When Wang An heard this, he was instantly stunned. Of all the mistakes, was there a mistake in the time he took a dump? It must be said that this matter really was Wang An's fault. If Wang An hadn't taken a dump, he wouldn't have been shining the flashlight everywhere. If he hadn't been shining the flashlight everywhere, he wouldn't have discovered the forest frogs. If he hadn't discovered the forest frogs, Wang An wouldn't have called everyone to catch them.
And if he hadn't caught the forest frogs, Wang An wouldn't have rubbed against the two "greats" on Sun Nian's chest... No, that's not it, he wouldn't have eaten the forest frogs. And if he hadn't eaten the forest frogs and chewed dry pancakes, then nothing would have happened.
So, this matter really was Wang An's fault!
Having figured this out, Wang An only replied with a "fuck" and completely forgot everything else, starting to carefully savor the previous "rubbing." While thinking, Wang An moved his head from side to side, as if the back of his head was being tightly pressed by two "greats" at this moment. And don't say, this wonderful feeling was still very worth savoring.
But when Wang An's eyes subconsciously looked at the two "greats," it made Wang An shudder instantly.
Because others didn't know or notice Wang An's slightly shaking head with half-closed eyes, but the owner of the two "greats" could tell at a glance what was going on.
So when Wang An looked over with a lewd gaze, what greeted Wang An was actually two eyes full of shame and anger.
It must be admitted that these two eyes were very beautiful, genuine double-lidded peach blossom eyes.
However, Wang An felt that they were filled to the brim with nothing but damn murderous intent, and it was murderous intent that was about to overflow at any moment!!! After shuddering, Wang An became honest and stopped savoring. No matter what, compared to "rubbing," his little life was more important.
In fact, everyone knew why the forest frogs tasted so fragrant and delicious this time, and why everyone's feelings were so deep.
The reason is simple: everyone had been chewing dry pancakes for three days in a row, and after continuous walking, everyone was tired and hungry.
The old saying goes, "Hungry people eat chaff and it tastes like honey; full people drink honey and don't feel it's sweet." And what everyone was eating was top-tier forest frog, and it was forest frog that was just about to enter the mountains in spring, which is the peak time of the year for forest frogs to be delicious.
So it's not surprising at all that everyone would have this feeling.
Just like the "Pearl, Jade, and White Jade Soup" that Kangxi ate only once in his early years and couldn't forget for the rest of his life.
