According to Article 341 of the Chinese Criminal Law: Illegal hunting and killing of precious and endangered wild animals under key state protection, or illegal acquisition, transportation, and sale of precious and endangered wild animals under key state protection and their products
, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined.
Eating wild bird eggs is very likely to violate the criminal law.
But eating wild dinosaur eggs...
Even a lawyer who is proficient in law cannot explain whether eating dinosaur eggs is illegal or not.
"What kind of dinosaur eggs, where did they go?" Bai Xiaomo rolled his eyes at Huo Yu and said confidently, "These are quail eggs. They are rich in protein and delicious. You can eat them without worry."
Huo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
Quail eggs, he has eaten this before.
This thing is indeed not a protected animal. It is sold in the market by the pound, and it is also very delicious.
"Sure, then I'll be relieved." Huo Yu patted Bai Xiaomo's shoulder and said earnestly, "Today's food will be left to you. Don't show off. We won't eat ingredients that are not guaranteed."
"First make sure you eat safely, and then make sure you eat well. I don't want to be the first icekeeper to die due to food poisoning."
Bai Xiaomo readily agreed and took Wu Yi, the number one foodie at the 249 Scientific Research Station, and Ling Ran, the number one cutter at the 249 Scientific Research Station, to process the ingredients.
I have to say that Bai Xiaomo is very good at finding food from the jungle.
In wilderness survival, food is the basis of everything.
If you can find and identify food in the wild, you are qualified to live.
And these foods are actually hidden around us. What is lacking in the rich jungle is not food, but the eyes to find food.
For example, dandelion, a common plant in cities, is a very nutritious wild vegetable.
Dandelion, also known as dandelion in the Northeast, is one of the most well-known wild vegetables. Its roots can be used to replace coffee, its flowers can be used to make wine, and its leaves can be eaten raw.
Of course, in the Northeast, everyone uses it as a dipping sauce.
Another example is a more common plant, foxtail grass.
Some people say that foxtail grass is the ancestor of wheat, but this is wrong.
On the contrary, it is millet, the yellow millet we eat, which is the domesticated species of foxtail grass.
Setaria is also edible, and the method of consumption is very simple.
Put the foxtail grass on the fire and roast it for a while, burn off the fluffy cilia on it, and then eat the remaining seeds.
Oh, by the way, there is also catnip that cats get attracted to when they smell it. Its scientific name is actually catmint (sound ring).
This stuff is actually a Chinese herbal medicine that can also be eaten as a condiment and can treat heatstroke and acute gastroenteritis.
All in all, if you master the ability to find food, you can survive even in uninhabited virgin forests.
Bai Xiaomo's cooking skills were almost as good as her ability to find food. After a while, several delicacies made from pure wild ingredients were freshly cooked.
The quail eggs threaded into skewers are grilled until golden brown and oily, and then paired with cumin seeds and chili powder, and lightly sprinkled with salt. It is as delicious as the grilled lamb kebabs.
Freshly picked morels are best for making soup, and Wu Yi happened to catch a few fresh live fish in the creek next to the camp.
Cut the live fish into sections and add morels and sorrel to make a delicious stew.
Live fish and sheep liver mushrooms contain a large amount of sodium glutamate, which is the source of the umami flavor of MSG.
With these two treasures, you only need to add a small amount of salt to this random stew to bring out the delicious aroma of the ingredients.
Bracken, dandelion, and cress contain a lot of vitamins, but bracken needs to be cooked before eating because it contains a substance called protopterin, which can cause cancer if eaten raw.
Bai Xiaomo simply blanched these three kinds of wild vegetables in boiling water, took them out, added light soy sauce, chili sauce, salt, monosodium glutamate, sesame oil and other condiments, stir them together and eat them.
Huoyu has a large inventory of these condiments in his space backpack. Huoyu never lets himself and his team members have their tongues wronged.
"It's time to eat!"
Bai Xiaomo said hello, and except for Wei Di, the other team members quickly gathered together.
The little white bear who had been guarding the criminal also ran over obediently. The island was too hot and the hair on the little white bear's body was thicker, so it didn't want to move.
It is said that people who spend a lot of time together tend to become more and more alike, and there is some truth in this saying.
At least these members of the 249 scientific research station have become more and more fond of eating.
Huo Yu walked over with his hands behind his back. Looking at the delicious game feast, he couldn't help but secretly lick his saliva.
He turned around and shouted to Wei Di who was standing sentry on a big tree:
"Xiaowei, come down and eat."
Wei Di held the sniper rifle upright and responded with some embarrassment: "Stationmaster, I'd better keep a lookout first, and I'll eat after you finish eating."
Seeing Wei Di's serious look, Huo Yu smiled and didn't persuade him.
There must be a serious and responsible person in a team. He will be the leader of the team and prevent others from being too indulgent.
Due to Wei Di's character, he is very suitable to be this ruler. As long as he sticks to his post meticulously, others will take the initiative to become serious.
As for eating, just leave a portion for him. Huo Yu will never treat anyone in the team badly, not to mention that Wei Di sacrificed for the team.
"Eat, eat."
Huo Yu invited a few people to sit down, then took a roasted quail egg from the grill, blew it, peeled it off and fed it to the little wolf cub in his arms.
The skin of quail eggs is very thin, and some people can eat it without spitting the skin.
But Huo Yu thought this stuff would get stuck in his throat, so he always peeled it off and ate it.
A quail egg entered his stomach, and the little fish's wolf eyes instantly narrowed in comfort.
The egg white part of the roasted quail eggs is very elastic and chewy. When combined with the cumin on the outside, it tastes very fragrant.
Moreover, Bai Xiaomo’s craftsmanship is very good. The yolk part of the quail eggs is still in a fluid state. It is neither too dry nor fishy. It tastes similar to that of runny eggs.
After feeding one to the little fish, Huo Yu peeled another one for the little white bear, and then ate one himself.
As for the Little Snowy Owl... Giving quail eggs to the Little Snowy Owl is similar to giving gorilla meat to humans, which is a bit cruel.
"Ouch~ (This is a good time, I still want to eat~)"
Huo Yu waved the stick in his hand at the little fish, indicating that it had finished the whole bunch.
The quantity of quail eggs is limited, one bunch per person, three per bunch.
Huoyu couldn't let even a wolf cub have a skewer to himself, so Xiaoyu Xiaotuan and Huoyu shared the skewer.
Moreover, Bai Xiaomo also ate a skewer with his little female wolf. He always worried about inequality rather than being widowed. It was impossible for Huo Yu to be special on his own.
Seeing that the quail eggs were gone, Xiaoyu's wolfish face immediately wilted, with unhappiness written all over his face.
"Here." Wu Yi on the side suddenly handed over his skewer, "You can eat it, I don't like to eat bird eggs."
The two ears of the little fish immediately jumped up excitedly.
