Chapter 926 - 925: Drooling
She looked at the little turtle, her face filled with longing, "Back home, we only eat wild beast meat, never getting a chance to taste Shell Beast or Sea Beast meat, but if we used our local methods to cook Shell Beast and Sea Beast, the flavor would be superb.
After stir-frying Shell Beast Meat, it takes on the taste of fruit, aromatic and appetizing, with a silky smooth texture. Just one bite, and wow~
And those Sea Beasts, stir-fried with our special seasoning, turn bright red, coated in a layer of rich, aromatic sauce. Pull back the shell, and inside is tender, slightly sweet flesh.
My favorite is to peel it open, dip it in some sauce, then stuff a big bite into my mouth—mixing the tender Sea Beast meat with the savory, rich sauce~"
With that, she swallowed hard.
Ji Nuan intentionally spoke this way, aiming to convince the little creature to stay and build a rapport.
Turning to look at the turtle hatchling, wow!
That look left Ji Nuan absolutely stunned.
The little one had drool so extensive it was forming a silvery line, almost pooling on the sand into a little puddle his own size.
Ji Nuan couldn’t help but think to herself, this hatchling might dehydrate at this rate.
Drooling to the point of dehydration wasn’t a good look.
What she didn’t know was that not only was this Sea Turtle hatchling drowning in drool, but the three Orcs collecting Shell Beasts and Sea Beasts were also belly rumbling loudly.
Their gathering speed instantly quickened, their arms nearly blurring into afterimages.
Ji Nuan amusingly pulled out a small handkerchief from her waist bag to wipe the little turtle hatchling’s mouth, "Don’t worry, once they gather everything, we’ll make something delicious."
The little turtle could no longer maintain an adult Orc posture, his eyes gleaming like little black beans, nodding furiously.
The three Orcs had been stalling, just to give Ji Nuan and the hatchling more time to talk.
Now it was time to cook something delicious, they had quickly gathered enough Shell Beasts and Sea Beasts to fill three backpacks and even cleaned them following the methods Ji Nuan had taught last time.
Ya Li hurried back to grab a large pot and spices, also bringing a small pack.
Kaka had already gathered a large bundle of firewood and even energetically constructed a small stove.
Xiu Yan lit the fire, carefully smoking the stove, then dried it and set the large pot on top.
Ji Nuan lifted the little Sea Turtle hatchling and handed him over to Kaka.
The little one stylishly crossed his legs sitting in Kaka’s large hand, his tail bristled behind him to keep from tipping over.
His little black-bean eyes were fixed intently on Ji Nuan preparing the delicious food.
This time Ji Nuan didn’t use too many spicy berries in cooking the Shell Beast and Sea Beast meat since the little one was still young, and too much pepper wasn’t good.
But the aroma of the other mixed seasoning fruits had already caused the little one to abandon his cool sitting posture.
He began to drool while lying on Kaka’s hand.
Like the former Land Orcs, the Aquatic Clan members ate raw food.
Smelling such an aroma for the first time, if he wasn’t being held by an Orc, the little Sea Turtle might have jumped right into that enticingly aromatic pot.
By then, there could have been a bonus dish: braised turtle.
Once the stir-fried Sea Beast was done, Xiu Yan moved it to a small fire nearby to keep it warm.
Ji Nuan quickly began to stir-fry the selected Shell Beast Meat, tossing the tender white meat a few times in the already fragrant sauce.
Ji Nuan smiled at the Sea Turtle hatchling, "How does it smell? Good?"
