"This thing looks a bit like a trap!"
As Hu Xiaobei prepared to handle it, he examined it carefully and squinted.
Previously, Hu Xiaobei had thought it looked somewhat familiar.
Now, Hu Xiaobei knew why it seemed familiar.
Because it really resembled that Treasure-hunting Rabbit, very much.
If there’s any difference, it’s just that it looks a bit thinner than Treasure-hunting Rabbit.
"Well, that’s normal! After all, no rabbit can sun itself all day to fatten up like Treasure-hunting Rabbit."
Having said that, Hu Xiaobei stopped scrutinizing it and quickly began to handle it...
Hu Xiaobei knew that both Guaiguai and Qiaoqiao were watching intently, so he couldn’t afford to waste even a second.
...
Watching Hu Xiaobei busying himself, Qiaoqiao withdrew her gaze and whispered to Guaiguai, "Sister, aren’t we being a bit too cruel?"
Guaiguai glanced at the slightly hesitant Qiaoqiao and understood her meaning.
She gently shook her head, "There’s nothing cruel about it. We didn’t kill it. So, you really don’t need to feel too burdened."
"That’s... that’s true!"
After thinking it over, Qiaoqiao felt a burden lift from her heart.
Instead, she became very excited...
Seeing Qiaoqiao’s expectant look, Guaiguai turned her gaze to Hu Xiaobei again.
At this moment, she truly felt that Hu Xiaobei was capable of anything.
The more she looked at Hu Xiaobei, the faster her heartbeat seemed to get.
"Could it be... could it be that I like him?"
As this thought surfaced in her mind, her face blushed red.
She touched her burning face and quickly shook her head.
...
"Sister, what’s up with you? You keep shaking your head and biting your lip."
Qiaoqiao, unaware of the specifics, spoke curiously.
Hearing Qiaoqiao’s inquiry, Guaiguai acted like a thief caught in the act, quickly saying, "I’m fine!"
"Fine? But your face is really red."
Hearing her speak again, Guaiguai quickly came up with an excuse, "I just feel a bit hot, really no big deal."
"That’s good, that’s good!"
Hu Xiaobei was unaware of the situation over there; he was very focused on cleaning up the rabbit.
After cleaning it, Hu Xiaobei carefully took out the seasoning he’d brought and began marinating the rabbit.
Hu Xiaobei knew that for something like grilling, it’s hard to infuse flavor.
So, before grilling, it’s essential to marinate, otherwise, the seasoning won’t truly permeate the meat.
"Xiaobei Brother, what are those red things?"
Hearing this curious query, Hu Xiaobei looked up to see Qiaoqiao looking at him like a curious child.
With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei pointed and said softly, "These are chili peppers, you’ll find out what they taste like soon!"
"I want to try them now!"
"No!"
Seeing Qiaoqiao really reach out, Hu Xiaobei quickly stopped her.
Because Hu Xiaobei knew these weren’t ordinary peppers, their taste was quite strong...
"What’s wrong?"
Seeing Qiaoqiao looking a bit tense, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "It’s not that I don’t want you to eat, it’s just that the taste of these is really bad; you’ll definitely regret it if you eat it now."
"Really?"
Seeing her disbelief, Hu Xiaobei nodded confidently, "You definitely will! Why don’t you smell it first."
"Okay!"
...
Half an hour later, Hu Xiaobei placed the finally marinated rabbit on the pre-prepared rack.
Once the rabbit was up, Hu Xiaobei started to ignite the fire using a drilling method again.
Because there was still a bit of warmth left from before, the efficiency was much higher this time.
Thanks to this, within just three minutes, smoke began to rise again.
Eventually, the flames surged...
Quickly adding some firewood, Hu Xiaobei glanced at the marinated rabbit he had mounted and calmly said, "Alright, just wait to eat."
"Okay!"
They spoke with excited anticipation...
They hadn’t eaten rabbit meat before, but they had tasted the fish Hu Xiaobei grilled.
Having an understanding of Hu Xiaobei’s skills, they believed this grilled rabbit’s taste would certainly be quite good.
Regarding Fire Control, Hu Xiaobei wasn’t particularly skilled.
However, he had done it a few times before, so he wasn’t clueless...
Thus, after a few initial awkward moments, Hu Xiaobei managed skillfully.
The rabbit on the fire began to emit slight warmth.
With this change, streaks of heat began to rise, and at the same time, hot oil began to drip down.
As they dripped, the already firm rabbit meat began to tighten further.
Seeing this scene, Hu Xiaobei knew that the delicious meal was about to be ready...
With a light smile, Hu Xiaobei looked at Guaiguai and Qiaoqiao...
In that moment, Hu Xiaobei saw them trembling with excitement.
Hu Xiaobei knew they had clearly smelled the fragrance emanating from the grilled rabbit...
With a light smile, Hu Xiaobei feigned puzzlement and softly asked, "What’s happening to you two? Why are you trembling all over?"
