112: Chapter 112 Keep blabbing! I'll give you a death roll!
Although Old Crocodiles Wife didn't understand what An Ke was doing.
But it felt that the idea of the fish it ate every day becoming ten thousand times more delicious was simply preposterous.
Even with a few more steps, the thing was still fish; it wouldn't turn into something else.
So, the taste couldn't possibly be that different.
The only explanation was that Old Crocodile was exaggerating on purpose to beg for her forgiveness.
Just to make it happy.
On An Ke's side, he didn't know what Old Crocodiles Wife was thinking.
He made the bonfire very large this time.
This would not only shorten the time for the grilled fish but also make it crispier.
Of course! To prevent Old Crocodiles Wife from having different tastes and preferring it fresh and tender...
An Ke made multiple preparations.
Just as An Ke finished putting all the fish on the fire, the Hamster returned, its short legs going "paji paji."
"master, master~~~ Little Mouse is back~~"
Because the Hamster's cheeks were bulging, its speech was a bit muffled.
After arriving in front of An Ke, it handed the nuts to him.
Even though the nuts were spat out of the Hamster's mouth...
It didn't matter, as there was a thick outer shell.
Besides, they were in the wilderness now; why be so fastidious?
I'm afraid many National Destiny Bearers, when facing a water shortage, would drink their own... (those who know, know.)
An Ke also knew of another way to replenish water in the wilderness.
It's just that the method was somewhat questionable... which was using elephant excrement.
Wrapping it in clothes to act as a filter, then squeezing out the moisture and drinking it...
"master, what do you want these nuts for?"
The Hamster asked while climbing up An Ke's body using both hands and feet.
It wanted to know how its task could be of help.
After reaching An Ke's shoulder, the Hamster saw that An Ke looked very serious.
He said to it, "Little Mouse, if you peel the nuts, you'll be helping me immensely."
Hearing this, the Hamster straightened its back.
Its face lit up with joy. "master, I guarantee the mission will be completed."
The Hamster was triumphant, feeling that its task must be something extraordinary that would greatly help in building the Camp.
Who says being small means you can't do anything?
Even if you're small, you can still do great things!!
As the saying goes, the essence is in the concentration!!!
The Hamster worked hard to peel the nuts, then handed the clean nut kernels to An Ke one by one.
To its surprise, An Ke took the kernels and ate them all in one mouthful.
Then, while eating, he looked at it with a beaming smile.
The Hamster felt like it had been struck by lightning. So the so-called "immense help" was just for An Ke to eat them?
Snapping out of it, the Hamster immediately let out a "Marmot Scream."
Ahhhhh!!!!! (Marmot Scream.jpg)
"master, you're a bad person!!"
"If they were meant to be eaten, you didn't even leave any for me."
The Hamster felt aggrieved; it had gone a long way to find them.
Looking at the Hamster sitting slumped on his shoulder with its head hanging low...
An Ke burst out laughing, feeling physically and mentally refreshed.
In this wilderness devoid of any entertainment, occasionally "bullying" small animals was also a form of joy.
"Come, come, there's still some here."
An Ke, of course, wasn't that mean.
He hadn't eaten them all and had saved some.
Seeing this, the Hamster's eyes immediately lit up.
As it took the nuts and stuffed them into its mouth, it said happily, "master is the best!"
"Little Mouse loves master the most~"
"Heh~ Look at that face!"
An Ke said, rolling his eyes.
In the live broadcast room, the audience was amused by this scene.
"Little Mouse is really, really, really, way too cute!"
"I want one so bad!"
"Hurry up and perform the Thousand Times Materialization on the Hamster!!"
"After materialization, every person in Dragon Country will have a Hamster!"
"Hahaha, if everyone really gets a Hamster, I want a Little Tiger."
"Impressive! Raising a big cat? I'm afraid it'll treat you as food later."
"You think you're Boss An? Fierce beasts aren't something ordinary people can handle."
"..."
In the broadcast, after teasing the Hamster, An Ke began to seriously grill the fish.
Beside him, Old Crocodile was already drooling as it watched the grilled fish.
"My drool is about to cascade down three thousand feet."
His wife rolled her eyes. "Cascading down three thousand feet? Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"
"Don't let me be disappointed later."
"It's all charred black; is this even edible?"
Old Crocodiles Wife was resentful toward the grilled fish that had lost its freshness.
Most animals prefer fresh food.
Only scavengers would like the taste of rot.
"Heh heh~" Old Crocodile smiled without saying a word, choosing not to argue.
Having been with its wife for so many years, it understood one truth.
You must never try to reason with a female.
Because it simply won't work.
Let the facts speak for themselves.
Soon, the first batch of grilled fish was finished.
An Ke smilingly brought the grilled fish to the couple and said, "Old Crocodile, Sister-in-law, sorry to keep you waiting."
Old Crocodile laughed loudly. "You're too kind, little friend. We should be the ones thanking you."
"After all, making you work for us is a bit embarrassing."
"Unfortunately, we can't help."
Crocodiles have very short limbs and no grasping ability at all.
They couldn't grill fish themselves like Little Scar and the others.
They could only wait for An Ke's Feeding.
An Ke waved his hand, indicating that this bit of hard work was not worth mentioning.
As long as he could win over two giant crocodiles, what did this effort matter?
Beside him, Old Crocodiles Wife also thanked An Ke.
However, it still appeared not to be very interested in the grilled fish.
Seeing the charred grilled fish, it was even a bit disgusted.
Is this thing really edible?
But considering it was the hard-earned result of Old Crocodile's friend, to show some respect, Old Crocodiles Wife reluctantly tasted one.
And it was this one that made it feel as if it had been struck by lightning.
The charring wasn't complete carbonization, but rather a crispy texture.
While the inside was fresh, tender, and delicious.
Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside—that's exactly what it was.
This texture opened up a New World for Old Crocodiles Wife, making it feel addicted and unable to stop.
Truly!!! Just as Old Crocodile had said, it was ten thousand times more delicious than ordinary fish!
Old Crocodiles Wife began to wolf it down.
The fish it had grown tired of before didn't feel greasy at all at this moment.
Until finally, Old Crocodiles Wife shouted at Old Crocodile:
"Old Man, leave some for me."
"If you dare to finish it, This mother will Death Roll you."
Old Crocodile was terrified and hurriedly left his entire portion for his wife.
Anyway, he had already enjoyed plenty on his own earlier.
Looking at his wife who couldn't stop eating, Old Crocodile couldn't help but chuckle and say:
"dear one, I told you just now to catch more, but you wouldn't listen. Do you regret it now?"
"This is what they call 'suffering for not listening to your elders.'"
"Keep chirping and This mother will Death Roll you," his wife said crossly.
Then it realized that, without noticing, all the grilled fish had been eaten.
So it glared at Old Crocodile and said crossly:
"Let's go! Come down with This mother to catch more fish."
"And give our little friend some fish as a gift while we're at it."
