21: What is it like to eat wolf meat?

Another ten minutes or so passed, and the aroma of meat grew even richer.

Su Can was already so hungry his vision blurred, and his energy was constantly flagging; he simply couldn't wait any longer.

He directly picked up a knife, sliced off a piece of the roasted wolf meat from the top layer, and without caring that it was burning hot, shoved it into his mouth, devouring it with gusto.

“Mmm, mmm, mmm! Delicious, delicious! It’s not tough at all, much tastier than dog meat!”

“One word: fragrant!”

With a large piece of wolf meat in his mouth, Su Can’s eyes suddenly lit up; it was much tastier than he had imagined.

The wolf meat, roasted over a wood fire, was crispy and oily on the outside, yet tender and refreshing on the inside.

When these two textures combined, along with the various cumin seasonings, it surprisingly became a delicacy with a unique and rich flavor.

Especially the firewood, which itself contained oil, released a natural fragrance when burned, and when it blended with the wolf meat, it truly left a lasting aftertaste.

“Delicious, so delicious!”

Su Can’s eyes gleamed, and oil dripped from the corners of his mouth as he ate; it was much better than eating grilled crucian carp.

After all, with the aid of seasonings, the taste was naturally much stronger.

Moreover, this wolf meat was not as dry and tough as he had imagined; instead, it was much tastier than good dog meat.

“If I were to stew this wolf meat, adding various mushrooms for flavor, it would definitely be another masterpiece!”

Su Can thought of the stewed wild rabbit and pheasant he had for lunch, which he was still savoring, and wished he could immediately stew the wolf meat to try it.

However, he was extremely hungry now and didn't have the leisure for it; he just wanted to quickly fill his stomach.

This body was very strong, and correspondingly, the energy it required was several times that of a normal person.

As he devoured it with gusto, a two-jin (approx. 1 kg) piece of wolf meat was eaten in no time.

If it were an ordinary person, two jin of solid wolf meat would definitely be enough to fill them up.

But the two jin of wolf meat merely circled in Su Can’s stomach before being completely absorbed, and his body didn't feel even one-tenth full.

On the contrary, Su Can felt even hungrier the more he ate.

He quickly sliced off another piece of meat from the wolf’s leg, weighing a full three jin (approx. 1.5 kg).

Only after these three jin of wolf meat were consumed and absorbed by his powerful digestive system did Su Can feel a trace of strength surge through his limbs and bones.

“Not enough, far from enough!”

Su Can shook his head; the hunger in his body had not diminished in the slightest.

He could clearly feel that as soon as the wolf meat entered his stomach, it was quickly absorbed by the powerful peristalsis of his intestines, leaving nothing behind.

He could only continuously slice off wolf meat and frantically devour it to replenish his energy.

However, the speed at which the wolf meat was being roasted simply couldn't keep up with the speed at which he was eating.

Fortunately, by this time, he had recovered a good deal of his strength!

While the roasting was underway, he slaughtered another wild rabbit and a pheasant.

He dug out their internal organs, seasoned them, found a few lotus leaves to wrap them in, covered them with mud, and buried them directly in the fire pit.

He was making do with what he had, completely based on his own understanding, relying on the fresh characteristics of the ingredients, making Beggar's Chicken and Beggar's Rabbit!

After some tinkering, the whole roasted wolf was finally cooked through.

He directly took down the rack, broke off a wolf leg, and threw it to Big Yellow.

“Here, this wolf leg is your reward!”

Big Yellow had long been drooling profusely and immediately began to gnaw on it frantically.

Su Can, on the other hand, held the rack in one hand and continuously tore off wolf meat from it with the other, eating ravenously.

For a full ten minutes or so, an entire wolf was completely devoured by Su Can.

Strangely, his stomach showed no movement whatsoever; it was completely unnoticeable.

Such a powerful digestive and absorption capacity was truly terrifying!

However, with an entire wolf in his stomach, the intense hunger in his body finally subsided.

“Ah, that was satisfying!”

Su Can threw the wolf carcass, now just a skeleton, onto the ground, finally feeling about eighty percent full.

He stood up and stretched, his entire body crackling and popping, his aura frighteningly strong.

He then pulled out the wild rabbit and pheasant from the fire pit, ate half himself, and gave the other half to Big Yellow.

The man and dog ate with gusto, and after they were satisfied, they descended the mountain and returned to the village.

However, Su Can didn't notice it at all during his journey.

Whether on the mountain or in the village, his vision was as clear as day, unaffected in the slightest.

Even Su Can himself hadn't realized this point.

Upon returning home, Su Can re-sorted his afternoon's harvest, categorizing what needed to be categorized and airing out what needed to be aired.

Otherwise, if piled together, some mushrooms might overheat and spoil, which would be a net loss.

After all this was done, Su Can finally lay down on his bed with peace of mind, reflecting on this eventful day.

Perhaps because the day had been so eventful, with many ups and downs, Su Can, with his mind relaxed, fell asleep without realizing it.

And he slept exceptionally deeply, as if entering a deep sleep.

It wasn't until the next day, when the sun shone through the window onto the bed in the bedroom, that Su Can felt the change on his skin and awoke from his deep sleep.

“Oh no! The sun is already so high, my blind date today!”

The moment Su Can woke up and saw the sun shining into the room, his face immediately changed, and he quickly scrambled out of bed.

He didn't even need to check his phone to guess the approximate time.

He got dressed, casually washed his face, didn't even have time to brush his teeth, checked his belongings, and then grabbed them and headed out the door.

“Oh, Su Can, you didn’t go back to the city yesterday, did you!”

“That’s right, Su Can, you’re in such a hurry, carrying two large bags. Are you going to propose or something?”

“Exactly, what good stuff is in those bags?”

As soon as he stepped out, the villagers noticed Su Can and playfully chatted with him.

Su Can chuckled when he heard them.

He hadn’t expected the villagers to have already filled in the blanks for him.

“Uncles and aunts, my mom asked someone to set me up on a blind date, so I’m just heading over. I won’t chat with you all right now.”

Su Can smiled and quickly walked past them, leaving the village entrance and arriving at the bus stop in a moment.

Only then did Su Can take out his phone to check it.

When he looked at his phone, goodness gracious, it was full of missed calls and unread messages.
