Fatal Strike: Paladins Mercenary Road

Chapter 411 Wolves?

"what happened?"

The Eagle caught the second fish very quickly and happily dragged the nearly two-foot-long greedy pike ashore...

He picked up a wooden stick and hit it. When Mountain Eagle was sorting out the fish hooks, he saw Old Joe staring at the hills not far away. Baran and Old Joe's big dog both growled vigilantly in that direction.

Sensing something was wrong, Shanying walked up to Old Joe, followed his gaze, frowned, and said, "What's going on?"

Old Qiao glanced at the mountain eagle and said, "There are wolves on the mountain, and the surrounding environment is a little strange..."

Shanying looked at the fish on the ground, spread his hands and said, "I don't see anything wrong..."

Old Joe glanced at Barang, who was staring at the hill not far away, and then said to the mountain eagle: "This is by the water, but have you found any traces of animals?"

Old Joe stroked his unshaven chin and said in a deep voice, "Except for squirrels, I didn't find any reindeer, rabbits, grouse, foxes, otters, muskrats, or anything like that.

This is not normal, especially in the summer!"

The ability of the mountain eagle is definitely enough, but he lacks the experience of surviving in the wild in the north. Facing Old Joe's uneasiness, he said cautiously: "If you think there is a problem, we can camp in another place.

I don’t mind it myself, but Quetta will have to wait here for several days…”

Old Joe admired Shanying's attitude of considering others. He shook his head and said, "It's not the problem of this place, but the animals...

There are wolves on the mountain, and they might be a pack of wolves, very ferocious ones..."

As he spoke, Old Joe looked at the frowning Mountain Eagle and said with a smile: “How could Quetta be afraid of wolves?
Don't worry, they will come to say hello to us tonight...

Pull your dog, I will take you to hunt a North American gray wolf. The wolf skins of this period are not of very high quality, but they are still very valuable. "

Shanying obviously felt that Old Joe still had something in his heart that he hadn't said, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he walked to the river, cleaned the two fish, and returned to the camp.

After Daria finished setting up the tent, she began to sort the wild ducks according to the boss's requirements.

6 wild ducks, of which were used for stewing...

Boil the water in a pot, then put it into a pressure cooker, add ginger and a little brandy and start stewing.

The remaining four are used to make roast duck...

The duck was massaged inside and out with sauce, and then stuffed with onions, apples, blueberries, and butter. Then the duck's stomach was sewn up, wrapped in tin foil and thick mud, and thrown directly into the fire in the middle of the camp.

The last two fish were not spared...

Cut the fish meat from both sides, build a rack above the campfire, marinate the fish meat slightly, place it between two pieces of barbecue wire mesh and set it aside. After the roast duck is done, grill it slightly and it will be a great meal.

None of the people present had ever been to Dongda, so they were very curious about the various ways of eating of the mountain eagle. At the same time, they were also very impressed that the mountain eagle was willing to go through so much trouble in the wild.

The pressure cooker is very efficient at stewing soup. The sound of steam can be heard from the top of the pot in less than an hour.

Shanying waited until the sound of steam disappeared before opening the pressure cooker, putting the prepared carrots and onions in, then covered the lid and continued to simmer.

The smoke and aroma that rose up when the duck soup was opened attracted everyone, but when Shanying closed the lid again, Kuida put down the lunch box in disappointment and said unhappily: "Do all Chinese people eat like you?
If you do this every day in the wild, you will starve to death!"

Shanying laughed and said, "There is a saying in China that good food is never too late, so in many cases it is worth waiting."

While Shanying was talking, he took out Barron's food bowl, poured half a bowl of dog food into it, and also gave Lao Qiao's big dog a bowl...

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Shanying opened the pot again, scooped a spoonful of duck soup from it and poured it into the dog food, then added salt and chicken essence to the pot...

"The butcher takes out the roast duck, and Dahlia puts the fish on the fire, and we eat!"

Quetta, who couldn't wait any longer, took the lunch box with the 78-pot coat that Shanying gave him, and ordered himself a bowl of duck soup, a duck leg, and a lot of carrots.

After taking a bite of the duck soup with oil floating on it, Kuida opened his eyes wide in disbelief...

"FUCK, how did you do that?"

As he spoke, Kuida picked up the duck leg and took a bite of the duck leg that had been stewed until it was tender. He could not taste the slightest smell of wild duck, and the texture that should have been a bit dry became extremely smooth.

"FUCK, those Chinese restaurants in Anchorage are scams, this is nothing like the duck they make."

The chef loves this kind of eater the most. Shanying used a small hammer to smash the mud shell of a roast duck. After peeling off the browned tin foil, a strong aroma caused by the Maillard effect appeared in the camp.

Everyone who smelled it couldn't help but swallow subconsciously!
The wild ducks at this stage are rich in fat, and the mountain eagle deliberately stuffs the duck's stomach with butter, which brings out the flavor of the "Beggar Duck" to the extreme.

With a gentle tear, the flesh and bones were separated, and the onions and apples in the duck's stomach were thrown into the big dog's food bowl. The mountain eagle picked up a piece of duck skin and took a bite.

It tastes sweet, but lacks the crisp texture of authentic roast duck, and is more like the texture of roast chicken.

For Shanying, the taste was just so-so, but for these foreigners, it was simply the ultimate delicacy.

Many people say that Chinese food is high in oil and salt and does not suit the tastes of Europeans and Americans... But several people present proved to Shanying that everyone's taste buds are the same, and everyone has the same reaction to sour, sweet, bitter and spicy flavors. Chinese food, which is better at using seasoning, must be more likely to be liked by everyone.

Especially those who live in cold zones and have great demand for heat.

Since Mountain Eagle came to Alaska, he had never seen anyone else eat good food except in the restaurants of luxury hotels.

The only thing that was half decent was the venison hot dogs that Old Joe made at the time!

But that was also thanks to the meat, plus the eagle was a little hungry at the time, so it tasted delicious when eaten while hot.

While Lao Qiao and his friends were enjoying the sweet meal of hot soup and roast duck, Shanying took out some noodles and a bag of dehydrated vegetables and threw them into the pot with only duck soup left.

Because there were only four roast ducks, Shanying, the chef, only got a duck neck from Dalia...

While he was waiting for the noodles, he poured teriyaki sauce on the fish that was about to be grilled. When the sauce seeped into the fish and gave off a burnt aroma, he served the noodles and then placed the fish on the noodles...

This new way of eating completely convinced Lao Qiao and Quetta...

Carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and vitamins, the four most important elements for survival in Alaska, are concentrated in this meal. It not only tastes great but is also rich in nutrition.

Kuida ate two large bowls of noodles, a roast duck and a quarter of a roast fish, and drank the last bit of soup in his bowl...

After drinking the last drop of soup, Kuida sighed comfortably, then sat on the ground and took out a small notebook and a pen. While carefully recalling Shanying's every move just now, he wrote down a secret recipe.

After finishing his meal, Shanying cleaned his lunch box and put it away. Then he took a cup of coffee from Dalia and sat on the open space next to the campfire, looking at the sunset in the distance in a trance...

Alaska has polar day and polar night, but that is in the northernmost part.

At the latitude where the mountain eagles are located, the daylight hours in July and August are as long as 7 hours, which allows the mountain eagles to catch the sunset after a busy day.

I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but the Sunset Mountain in Krabi and the campsite on the Yukon River, although one faces the sea and the other faces the wetland, both offer beautiful sunsets.

Mountain eagles love sunsets very much...

Because it is difficult for a working man to fall in love with the sunrise!

Because when the sun rises, it does not mean the waking up of all things for workers, but the beginning of a day's work.

He likes sunsets because they can provide a touch of brilliant color to a worker like him when he gets off work.

In countries that adhere to the eight-hour workday, people can go on a romantic or exciting date in the gorgeous sunset, or stay at home alone and enjoy their own time and life facing the sunset.

While waiting for the sunset, the mountain eagle is always the most relaxed...

Dahlia packed her sleeping bag, took her coffee and walked to Shanying's side. She watched the last rays of sunset with her boss, and watched the darkness begin to sweep across the earth. She smiled and said, "Boss, we can only sleep for six hours..."

The mountain eagle looked up at Dalia and was about to say something when Baran suddenly stood up from the ground, looked towards the hill on the east side of the camp, and let out a dull growl from his throat...

Mountain Eagle frowned and put on his tactical glasses. He saw a dozen red spots running down the hill. When they reached the middle of the hill, they actually spread out to both sides, as if they wanted to surround the camp.

"There's a wolf, get your gun!"

The mountain eagle stood up instantly and rushed into the tent with Dalia...

He picked up the Benelli M2, took the quick-load magazine containing 10 rounds of 12-gauge buckshot and 10 rounds of single-headed bullets and put it on his belt, then rushed out of the tent...

Old Joe held an old Winchester lever-action rifle, pulled the agitated big dog hard, and kept soothing it: "Simone, don't move, Simone, don't be nervous..."

Seeing Shanying and his men appear with guns in less than a minute, Old Joe shouted to the butcher who looked the most like a coolie: "You are responsible for chopping wood, we need to set up bonfires around the camp...

There's something wrong with these wolves, we need to be fully prepared!"

The mountain eagle saw only about ten red dots through the crow. He didn't know why Old Joe was so nervous...

As the youngest and most powerful one, Mountain Eagle took the initiative to walk to the east side of the camp, which is the side close to the woods.

Like a loyal guard, Baran followed the footsteps of the mountain eagle and came to his side...

A few minutes later, the butcher came to the front of the Eagle with a large bundle of wood. He used fuel to instantly ignite the fire, illuminating a large area.

After doing all this, the butcher picked up the AK-105 on his back, put two spare magazines on his waist, and stood about 15 meters away from the flank of the Mountain Eagle.

The Butcher and Dalia acted very quickly, but they didn't really feel nervous...

Being used to the power of guns, they did not think that a few wolves could cause any trouble.

According to their understanding, after discovering a pack of wolves, all they have to do is fire a gun into the sky and the wolves will retreat.

Shanying originally thought so too. It was not Old Joe who supported him to maintain his tense state, but Baran...
