They all returned to their new campsite.
“Captain Zhang, what should we do with these prey?” a soldier asked.
Although they had gone out on missions and survived in the wild, they had never hunted in the wild. Because of the space button, it was very convenient to carry things when they went out. Therefore, they usually put enough dry food in the space button and relied on this dry food to live during their days in the wild.
Therefore, although soldiers had wilderness survival experience, they don’t have much of it. Many skills or life experiences had been lost over the course of history.
“Take these prey to the river to process them,” Zhang Xuan said. He had survived here once before and had also seen how Luo Lingxing processed the prey, so he was quite experienced.
“How should we do that?” the soldier continued to ask.
Don’t think they are so “ignorant” as soldiers. After all, they live in the interstellar age, where many things were very convenient. All the meat they eat was already processed, and they only need to buy or order it. Naturally, they would not learn how to process live prey.
Zhang Xuan suddenly felt that she knew a lot, and that feeling of knowing things that others didn’t was really exhilarating.
“Come with me. I’ll teach you how to process the prey. I don’t think you all want to eat dry food every day, right?” Zhang Xuan said.
“Are these meant to be eaten?” The soldiers were somewhat surprised. They had been wondering what they were going to do with the game they had hunted, but it turned out they were going to eat it.
Don’t blame him for being too surprised. There was nothing he could do. They always carried plenty of provisions when they went out, or bought them locally. They had never hunted on their own before, and most importantly…
“We don’t know how to do it,” one person said, echoing everyone’s sentiments.
Even if they processed the prey and obtained the meat, no one knew how to cook it. Even the simplest boiled white meat required a pot, which they hadn’t thought of at all. Who would carry a pot with them when they went out?
“Of course someone knows how to make it. Young master Luo’s barbecue is absolutely amazing. Even the barbecue at the food court can’t compare to it.” Zhang Xuan said with a look of enjoyment, reminiscing about the taste of the meat he had eaten before.
Seeing this, the others couldn’t help but swallow hard and said, “Young Master Luo can actually grill meat?” That’s amazing! Does that mean we’ll get to eat meat later? “What are we waiting for? Captain Zhang, quickly teach us how to process the game!”
Zhang Xuan glanced indifferently at the group of impatient soldiers, his expression a mixture of sympathy and schadenfreude, but he said nothing. In any case, they would figure it out themselves later, so let them be happy for a while.
Zhang Xuan led the group of men to the river to process the game, while Lin Mingying sent the rest to gather firewood. After all, they would need the firewood to roast the meat later, and they would also need to light firewood to ward off some of the beasts while camping at night.
The remaining group went to join Zhao Chongzhuo and the others to drive away the wild animals in the vicinity.
As darkness fell, the campfire was lit, and the tents for those who needed to stay were set up, radiating outwards from the campfire. Naturally, Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan’s tent was at the very innermost part of the circle.
Zhang Xuan and his men who went to process the prey have returned. The prey were of different kinds and sizes, but the meat looked very plump. In addition, all of them had brought their own dry rations, so there was enough for them to eat.
Luo Lingxing took a small piece of prey from Zhang Xuan and put it on the fire to roast. The soldiers who had been told by Zhang Xuan that Luo Lingxing could roast meat stared intently at Luo Lingxing and the roasted meat. Gradually, the aroma of the roasted meat filled the air, and their eyes shone even brighter.
It turned out that Captain Zhang really wasn’t lying to them. Young Master Luo really did know how to grill meat, and this was the first time they’d ever smelled such delicious grilled meat. It must taste amazing.
Zhang Xuan naturally noticed the soldiers’ gazes and could guess what they were thinking from their expressions, which made him feel a little schadenfreude.
Getting to eat the meat grilled by young master Luo was not such an easy thing.
These soldiers quickly confirmed Zhang Xuan’s suspicions.
Luo Lingxing cut the first piece of roasted meat for Han Junzhan, and the soldiers’ “fiery” gazes became even more intense, as if they wanted to stick to the roasted meat. However, this was only the case before Han Junzhan’s gaze drifted over. Upon seeing Han Junzhan’s eyes, everyone trembled and dared not stare at Luo Lingxing and the roasted meat any longer.
The major general’s gaze was truly terrifying. Currently, only Luo Lingxing was estimated to be able to withstand it.
“Alright, everyone has seen Young master Luo’s barbecue, so you should all know how to do it now. Let’s try it ourselves,” Lin Mingying said at the right moment.
Many soldiers started grilling meat themselves. Although it was their first time, they were quite excited. Only the soldiers led by Zhang Xuan felt a huge sense of disappointment. They had thought they would get to eat young master Luo’s grilled meat, and they had been looking forward to it for so long. In the end, they had to grill it themselves. This disappointment was really a bit upsetting.
However, there was nothing he could do. After all, young master Luo had Major General Han by his side. Even if the Major General wasn’t here, young master Luo couldn’t possibly cook for so many soldiers by himself. There were over a hundred of them, and young master Luo was just one person. Even if young master Luo worked himself to death, he couldn’t finish grilling that much meat.
Everyone had no choice but to do it themselves. However, seeing how easily Luo Lingxing grilled the meat, turning it a few times until it was golden brown and crispy, everyone was quite confident in themselves.
However, when it was their turn, they realized how difficult it was to grill meat. After all, they didn’t have a good grasp of the heat and time. If they got too close to the fire or flipped the meat for too long, it would easily turn into charcoal. If they got too far from the fire or flipped the meat for too short a time, it might not be cooked through.
Finally, someone managed to grill something edible, but it was far from Luo Lingxing’s skills. However, it was the first piece of meat they had grilled themselves, so even though it didn’t taste good, they were still very satisfied.
“Little Liu, you see, we usually get along quite well. I even gave you some pointers when you were practicing last time,” a soldier said with a smile as he approached another person.
“Yeah, thank you,” Xiao Liu nodded in response.
“No need for thanks, but could you share some of the roast meat with me? I’ll hunt an even bigger game for you next time,” the man continued shamelessly.
There was nothing he could do. He tried several times, but the meat always turned into charcoal. It was disgusting to look at, let alone eat. But in order to be able to eat delicious roasted meat, he had no choice but to be on good terms with the people who knew how to roast meat. And Little Liu was one of the lucky ones who managed to roast the meat properly.
“Okay.” Xiao Liu readily shared a piece of meat with the soldier.
Seeing this, the others flocked to those they were on good terms with and who also knew how to grill meat, trying to build a relationship with them so they could also get to eat grilled meat in the future.
Of course, not everyone is as lucky as that soldier. There are also several people trying to curry favor with one person, which inevitably leads to some minor “struggles”.
“I helped Xiao Li carry things before.”
“I taught Xiao Li how to operate a mecha.”
“I’ve helped Xiao Li repair his mecha.”
“I’ll help Xiao Li…”
Xiao Li: …
All they wanted was a piece of grilled meat. Why did they have to bring up all those past “favors” so clearly? With them acting like this, he didn’t want to give them any meat at all!
Everyone: …They just want some barbecue, is that so much to ask?
Similar incidents of bringing up past favors, dredging up old grievances, and even making promises were commonplace. Since not everyone could successfully unlock the skill of grilling meat, those soldiers who couldn’t unlock the skill no matter how hard they tried had no choice but to target those who had barely managed to barbecue it. And in order to get to eat grilled meat, if coercion didn’t work, they could only try to bribe them. If bribery didn’t work, then they could only… resort to robbery.
“Hey, I cooked those. If you want some, cook it yourself.”
“It won’t kill you to share some. I’ll share some of what I cook with you later.”
“Don’t steal it! At least leave me some!”
“XXX, don’t go too far! You’ve already eaten three pieces, and I’ve only eaten one!”
“Whose fault is it? It’s because you were too slow.”
As a result, the dinner was quite lively.
Of course, all of this was kept out of reach of Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan’s ears. If those who were eating meat could pay even a little attention to the Han Ling couple, they would realize that they were all human, so why was there such a huge difference between them?
With the campfire as the dividing line, it was like two different worlds.
Zhang Xuan and the others were making a ruckus, like a bustling market, while Luo Lingxing and Han Junzhan were very peaceful. Luo Lingxing was grilling meat, and Han Junzhan was feeding him. Occasionally, Han Junzhan would also take a bite himself, creating a very warm atmosphere.
This was probably the difference between having a partner and not having one.
A soldier without a partner: Seeing the Major General and young master Luo unconsciously showing affection, how am I going to live my life from now on? I suddenly want to find a partner too, what should I do?
Soldiers with partners: What to do when you suddenly miss home? Suddenly I want to show off my love, but my partner isn’t around. What should I do? Seeing others showing off their love makes my heart ache. What should I do?
This training was destined to be a special training that is both painful and joyful. A special training that will temper both body and mind!
After dinner, Zhang Xuan, Zhao Chongzhuo, and Lin Mingying began arranging the personnel for the night watch, while Han Junzhan and Luo Lingxing had already returned to their tents.
Luo Lingxing had previously stated that their responsibility for this special training was only to bring people over and intervene in dangerous situations. They would not be involved in any other matters and would leave all authority to Zhang Xuan, Zhao Chongzhuo, and Lin Mingying. These three were all Han Junzhan’s adjutants, so managing a hundred soldiers was more than enough for them. Moreover, they had also been to Planet Seyfert and were quite familiar with the place, making them the most suitable candidates.
