Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 406: Intensified Conflict
Cooking takes a long time, but without the need for Eagle to call or lead them, these local Indians soon become happy in the anticipation of the food.

There was no primitive singing or dancing. A few Indian men started playing with guitars, and then beautiful songs rang out in the camp.

Shanying doesn’t understand Hindi, but for some things, as long as you are at the right time, the right place, and the right atmosphere, you don’t have to understand the meaning of the lyrics to roughly know what they are expressing.

Shanying was worried that so many people would not have enough to eat, so he found a few children to help him while singing. He washed the 20 kilograms of rice that was airlifted in, then got three steaming baskets, covered them with gauze, and placed them on top of the last big pot to start steaming the rice.

Dahlia helps a few women process the king salmon...

This worldly-wise Russian girl is very experienced in making sashimi. She would cut out large chunks of salmon meat, carefully remove the few large bones, then bury the fish meat in ice cubes to freeze it, and then cut it into 5 mm thin slices and place them on a plate.

Unfortunately, her action did not impress others. The Indian women squeezed the pearl-like fish roe from the fish's belly into a bowl, then put a spoon in it and let the children eat it like ice cream.

The fish is then divided into two pieces and cut into finger-sized strips.

The women could handle a dozen fish in the time it took Daria to handle one.

Shanying came over and took a bite of each. It was obvious that the sashimi prepared by Daria was a little more fresh and sweet, but if it came to satisfying your hunger, you still had to look at the way the locals prepared it.

Baran had been hungry for a while, and when he saw that the mountain eagle was obviously idle, the big dog walked up behind him, scratched his thigh with his front paws, and then barked at the big basin full of salmon...

Shanying was stunned for a moment, then he hugged Baran's neck and rubbed it hard, saying, "This thing is precious. How about some dog food?"

Baran seemed to understand what the eagle was saying. He gently held the eagle's hand and reached for the salmon. He let out a low growl from his throat, as if to say that he must give him a few to try...

Just when Shanying was still trying to tease Barron, Jamie came over dragging a 70-centimeter-long salmon...

"It has been hungry for a long time. A hunter will not let his gun go hungry. This fish is for you..."

Shanying took the big fish with a smile and placed it in front of Baran, indicating that it was ready to eat. Then he looked at Jamie, who was smelling of fish, and said with a smile: "Thank you, I want to go to the northern mountains in a few days to try my luck. Do you have any good suggestions?

Like, are there bears, wolves, or something like that there?"

After listening to this, Jesse nodded and said, "The mountains in the north are a good hunting ground. There are very delicious wild goats there, and brown bears and wolves roam in the woods at the foot of the mountains.

But I can’t go there now…”

Shanying frowned slightly and asked, "Why?"

Jesse said dejectedly, “It’s been bought by a company, and they don’t allow us to hunt around the mountains.

They set up many traps and snares in the mountains and forests, and several of our tribesmen died there in the winter.

If you want to hunt, you can go across the river to the south, where there are a lot of moose in the tundra..."

Shanying frowned and said, "Do they have the right to do this? Why don't you call the police?"

Jesse shook his head and said, "I don't know, they said it's their land and they have the right to do it...

But I don't trust them, because not only do they not allow us to hunt, they also send people to harass us.

They sabotaged our boats, put iron stakes in places where we often passed and damaged our snowmobiles, and they released dogs to drive prey far away from us...

I'll catch those bastards sooner or later..."

Seeing Jesse gritting his teeth while speaking, Shanying nodded slightly and said, "No one has the right to put his own interests above the survival of others!
The bad guys will always be punished!"

As Shanying smelled the fragrance of rice, he smiled and patted Jesse on the head, saying, "Go wash your hands and see how the girls are preparing their juice. We'll have dinner in half an hour."

Jesse sniffed, nodded excitedly and said, “It smells great!
Sir, I see you have a lot of potatoes here, can you give me some? Some of the elderly in our tribe have weak teeth, and potatoes are very suitable for them after being stewed."

Many Indian tribes still retain the tradition that young people should support the elderly. Mountain Eagle admired Jesse's overflowing sense of responsibility. He smiled and nodded and said, "No problem. When you leave, go find little Ruby. He will bring you a bag of potatoes."

As he spoke, Shanying looked towards the camp's greenhouse and said with a smile, "This greenhouse is too backward. I will build an extra-large greenhouse in the future. Maybe you can eat vegetables and potatoes in the winter."

Jesse obviously doesn't like Shanying's so-called greenhouse...

Alaska is located here. They are not far from the permafrost zone. Even in summer, the temperature about one meter underground is only about one degree.

Even with the help of large machinery, clearing the underground rubble and tree roots is a huge and thankless task.

Shanying could see that Jesse wanted to persuade him to give up, but as a Chinese with a strong attachment to land, he would feel a little sorry for not being able to grow something on such a large area of land.

Shanying didn't explain much to Jesse. He pulled Jesse to join him and took the fragrant steamed rice off the big pot...

Twenty kilograms of rice were steamed to make enough rice for 40 people...

Shanying pinched a little bit with his hands and tasted it. The taste was a little different from the one in his hometown. It could only be said to be so-so.

Seeing Jesse sniffing at the rice, Shanying smiled and said, "How about I perform a magic trick for you?"

As Shanying said this, without waiting for curious Jesse to ask questions, he took out several large bags of dehydrated compressed vegetables and poured them into the big pot where rice was steamed.

Watching the vegetables swell rapidly after absorbing water, Jesse asked curiously, "Can vegetables be smoked?"

Shanying laughed, poured a few pieces of butter and some of the deer oil he had refined into the pot, then took out a large bowl and put a dozen eggs in it, stirred them well and poured them into the pot, and finally added chicken powder and salt...

After stirring it with a long-handled spoon, Shanying scooped up a little and tasted it... The taste was okay, but after eating too much meat, a bowl of vegetable and egg soup is definitely a good choice.

After finishing the last dish of soup, Shanying clapped his hands vigorously and shouted, "OK, let's eat..."

Little Ruby, who had been in charge of adding fuel to the fire, suddenly jumped up and shouted loudly: "Dinner is ready..."

During dinner, Shanying became the most popular person in the audience!
Don’t say that foreigners can’t get used to Chinese food. For all manual laborers, their bodies will naturally tell them that the bones, meat and potatoes mixed with rich soup contain high calories…

Indians eat rice. Each person has a large bowl filled with rice and then topped with soup. One bowl comes first...

The combination of carbohydrates and high-calorie foods made everyone exclaim in satisfaction.

Shanying tasted all the dishes himself. The venison was still a little tough. He should have added a little more butter or venison oil...

The taste of the beef met his expectations. The high-quality beef was paired with soft potatoes and the rich soup, which could be eaten with a large bowl of rice.

In comparison, the braised deer tongue and deer heart were a bit of a failure in taste. I don’t know if it was because they were not handled properly or if they should not have been handled that way.

But Shanying himself is not used to it, but that doesn't stop others from liking it...

To be precise, I like it very much!
Old Joe, Quetta, and even old Ruby, who has difficulty walking, are extremely obsessed with these sliced braised dishes.

A few old men took up a deer tongue and two deer hearts and gave the rest to a group of children. Then they ate the braised food and drank wine with such happiness that Shanying even doubted his own sense of taste.

However, after taking another bite and confirming that the strange fishy smell was still there, Shanying could only shake his head and decline.

Several women curiously asked Shanying about the recipe of the stewed food, because they keenly discovered that the food processed in this way not only tastes outstanding, but the strong spice flavor can cover up the fishy smell that many people don't like...

With this recipe, families who don't eat offal can have an extra ingredient.

In the past, they didn’t know that if the animal tendons were handled properly, they would not only have an outstanding texture but also taste good.

This meal made everyone happy!

The roasted deer legs tasted acceptable, but the roasted fish was a bit of a failure. However, these Indians obviously didn't care. Compared with what they usually ate, this was already a very good delicacy.

The most popular ones are deer bones and potatoes, tomatoes and beef. The taste of the two pots of soup is actually very similar, but this calorie-bomb diet is too much in line with the needs of Alaskans.

Almost 20 kilograms of steamed rice from 50 kilograms of rice was eaten up!

Little Ruby ate two large bowls of food, had a bowl of vegetable soup to smooth over it, and after moving around for a while, he got another bowl of rice and gulped down the soup at the bottom of the pot.

This way of eating made Shanying a little worried about him, so he had to give him a glass of juice squeezed by the children.

"Eat less, don't upset your stomach..."

Little Ruby put down the bowl with a bit of regret, and said with an unsatisfied look: "Boss, can you teach me how to do it?

It tastes amazing, I didn’t know you could eat rice like this before!”

Shanying looked at Little Ruby with a smile and said, "If you are willing to clean up the mechanical garbage in the camp, or put it in order in the warehouse, I will teach you how to do it!"

Little Ruby listened, nodded vigorously and said: "You are the boss, I will listen to you!
But can we not throw it away? There are many parts in it that can be dismantled and those parts may be used by the Indian tribes in the north and passing ships."

Little Ruby’s simplicity was a quality that Shanying could not refuse, he nodded helplessly and said: “Then leave the useful things, but keep them in order, it’s best to sort out the warehouse and place them in different categories.

Don't let those things pile up in an eyesore. I want to transform this place into a farm with grass and chickens and ducks everywhere, without any messy garbage.

I will redraw a blueprint of the camp, and you will replan the camp according to my requirements...

I'll pay for everything, and I'm not in a hurry, but you have to build this place according to my ideas, okay?"

Little Ruby heard this and patted his chest hard, ready to make a promise, when the lights on the pier lit up and a small boat rushed onto the riverbank...

Several Indians covered in blood rushed into the camp carrying a screaming young man...

Wynn stood up and ran over to take a look, then shouted to little Ruby: "His foot is injured, he needs to be sent to the hospital by plane..."

Mountain Eagle watched Little Ruby rush over to take a look, then yelled a few curses, and called a few Indians to carry the wounded and rush towards the runway...

He walked to Huai En's side, looked at the gloomy man, and said, "What happened?"

Huai En said with cold eyes: "It was those people in the north. The trap they made with shotgun shells was stepped on by our people...

The bullet shattered his foot!
They used to just set traps, but now they're going too far!"

Shanying frowned and said, "They? Those people in the small town of Mission in Russia to the north?"

Huai En nodded fiercely and said, "It's them, the people from Dimension Card Company...

These people will pay for what they have done!"
