69: Delicious mountain flavor

“Are you that confident in me?”

Su Can looked at Su Ran, somewhat speechless.

She nodded: “I trust my instincts!”

Su Can was immediately at a loss for words.

Just then, he heard movement from the backyard, and Big Yellow and Monkey ran into the front yard, one after the other.

Su Ran turned her head and saw Big Yellow carrying a plump wild rabbit in his mouth.

Monkey was holding a wounded pheasant in his left hand and a plastic bag filled with several kinds of mushrooms in his right.

Seeing this scene, Su Ran, despite being somewhat prepared, still froze there for a long time.

After a while, she finally reacted, taking a deep breath and saying to Su Can: “Su Can, your two pets are truly amazing; they can actually hunt by themselves~!”

“How did you train them? It’s too incredible!”

Su Ran felt it was extremely unbelievable.

“What’s so special about it? Dogs evolved from wolves, and monkeys are even more obvious.”

Su Can said casually, getting up and taking the rabbit from Big Yellow’s mouth.

“Miss Su, this will be our lunch today. You rest first, I’ll go prepare it. After we eat, we can talk about your matters in detail.”

“Alright, I’ve been wanting to see how a big man like you cooks.”

Su Ran curiously put down the walnut in her hand and followed Su Can, watching how he would handle these things.

Su Can smiled, not minding at all.

He first filled both the earth stove and the gas stove with water, had Monkey light the earth stove, and then found a utility knife himself, skillfully skinning the wild rabbit.

“Oh my goodness, you can actually do that to such a cute rabbit.”

Su Ran couldn’t bear to watch and turned her back.

“…”

Su Can was too lazy to respond and continued to process the rabbit.

Soon, a complete rabbit skin was peeled off and set aside to dry.

These rabbit skins also had value and would be collected by people in the countryside.

After skinning, cutting open the internal organs, and cleaning, the next step was to chop it into pieces, ready for the pot, then stew it with mushrooms and spices.

After the water boiled, he blanched the pheasant, plucked its feathers, quickly cleaned its internal organs, and cut it into pieces.

Su Can’s movements were swift; various complicated steps and food preparation seemed orderly and unhurried under his hands, giving a sense of smooth fluidity.

In less than half an hour, everything was ready, just waiting for a high heat to stew.

“Alright, Su Can, watching you cook, I actually feel like I’m appreciating art; it’s fluid and seamless.”

Su Ran’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, and she praised Su Can profusely.

“What you’re saying has a bit of exaggeration in it.”

Saying that, Su Can took off his apron and said with a faint smile: “Alright, these are all fresh ingredients from the local area. Wait another forty minutes, and I’ll let you taste authentic mountain flavor, guaranteed to make you full of praise!”

“Alright! I’m looking forward to it.”

Su Ran smiled charmingly, crossing her arms and staring at Su Can.

Su Can glanced back at her, then quickly averted his gaze.

The truth was, Su Ran’s posture was too enticing.

With her arms crossed, her already ample chest was made to look even grander.

“At least an E!”

Su Can secretly clicked his tongue, saying he felt no impulse would be a lie.

Seeing his reaction, Su Ran also suddenly realized, looked down, and saw that the two mounds of white snow on her chest blocked her view of her feet.

Her face immediately flushed red, and she quickly lowered her hands.

“I’ll go to the backyard first to pick some fresh side dishes.”

Su Can suppressed the urge to scan her with his divine sense, turned around, and ran to the backyard.

He was afraid that if he stayed a minute longer, he wouldn’t be able to resist using his divine sense to see her completely naked.

After a while.

Su Can returned to the front yard carrying a pile of green vegetables. By now, he had suppressed the rising desire, and his gaze towards Su Ran had returned to being calm and open.

Su Ran also noticed this, and her nervousness disappeared accordingly.

After about another twenty minutes, a rich aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen.

This smell was very special, far beyond what ordinary hotel stews could compare to.

Su Ran’s eyes immediately lit up: “It smells so good.”

“It smells amazing, Su Can! How much longer until it’s ready? I’m already impatient to taste it!”

The aroma wafting from the kitchen was truly delightful, completely different in style from the smells emanating from big hotels.

Su Ran found that this particular smell awakened her most primal craving for food!

“Just another ten minutes or so, it’ll be ready soon.”

Su Can himself was a bit hungry, and his stomach rumbled.

He walked to the table in the courtyard, grabbed a handful of walnuts, and crunched a few open to eat.

Seeing this, Su Ran also came and sat down next to him, feeling a sense of torment as she inhaled the fragrant air in the courtyard.

Finally, the time was almost up.

Su Can got up and walked towards the kitchen. Su Ran, who had been enduring unbearable anticipation, followed him with immense joy.

“Is it ready to eat?” Su Ran asked, her expression full of anticipation.

Su Can smiled: “Yes, it’ll be out of the pot soon, and you can taste it.”

As he spoke, his movements were not slow at all. He deftly took out two stainless steel basins, dished the stewed rabbit meat and pheasant meat into them separately, and carried them to the table in the courtyard.

Throughout this process, Su Ran followed behind Su Can like a child begging for candy.

Su Can laughed: “Don’t rush, it’s just out of the pot, still too hot. After a little exposure to the air, it’ll be ready to eat very soon.”

“Okay.” Su Ran smiled, a little embarrassed.

After a while, Su Can felt it was about ready. He immediately took out a rabbit leg with his hand and handed it to Su Ran, saying.

“Here, try the stewed wild rabbit meat first. I guarantee it’ll be so delicious it’ll make you want to swallow your tongue.”

Su Can chuckled as he spoke.

Su Ran didn’t speak, her eyes fixed entirely on the rabbit leg. She took it directly and couldn’t help but bite into it for a taste.

With a mouthful of rabbit meat, Su Ran immediately let out a soft sound, a deeply satisfied noise.

“Delicious, it’s too delicious! This taste is truly amazing, not at all inferior to the food at those big hotels, and this flavor, there’s just something about it I can’t quite describe!”

Su Ran ate several bites in a row, her face unable to hide a look of contentment.

It was tender and incredibly fresh and flavorful!

“Hahahaha…”

Seeing her like this, Su Can couldn’t help but laugh, then picked out a chicken wing and handed it over, saying.

“Come, try the taste of this pheasant. The same ingredients, but the flavor that bursts forth is a different kind of delight!”

“Mmm, mmm, I’ll try it!”

Su Ran was easily persuaded. Before she had even finished the rabbit leg in her hand, she eagerly took the chicken wing and bit into it.

The soft yet chewy texture and unparalleled flavor were a different kind of delight compared to the wild rabbit.

Su Ran’s eyes curved into happy crescents.

It was so delicious she almost bit her tongue.
