Chapter 134 Is this the Competition of Heroes?

The marinating process inside the cavity takes a certain amount of time. While waiting, Su Luoluo prepared a crispy skin glaze.

To make suckling pig crispy, the crispy skin glaze applied to the pig skin is crucial.

Honey and vinegar are essential.

Since she didn't have homemade vinegar, Su Luoluo used sour wild fruits instead. The juice squeezed from these fruits had a natural sour taste and a faint fragrance.

This pig isn't particularly big, but it's not small either.

It's definitely not enough for her to squeeze the sour wild fruit juice by hand all by herself.

Since Fu Feng and Xi Yi had their bones removed, Su Luoluo naturally had to treat them equally.

She pointed to the wild fruits she had picked and said to Mo Xuan and Nan Tu, "You two pick some more wild fruits and squeeze their juice into a bowl. I'll need it later."

Upon hearing that there was something to do, Mo Xuan was naturally eager to participate, but when he saw that his partner was Nan Tu, his eyes immediately fell.

Ignoring Nantu's reaction, he scrambled up the tree, shook it, and the fruit fluttered down to the ground.

Mo Xuan called out to Nan Tu, "I don't need to teach you, do I? Pick up the fruit yourself. A fish shouldn't be able to climb a tree."

After saying that, Nantu kicked a wild fruit tree a few times, scattering wild fruit all over the ground.
As he picked up wild berries from the ground, he said casually, "I'm a mermaid, not a fish. I still have hands and feet."

Mo Xuan choked upon hearing this. Seeing that Nan Tu had quickly gathered a pile of wild fruits, he felt that he couldn't lose to him. He immediately jumped down from the tree and quickly picked up the wild fruits scattered on the ground with a flick of his finger.

With his quickened movements, he finally brought the wild fruits he had picked up to the round table at about the same time as Nan Tu.

While getting the bowls, the two were secretly competing to see who could get them faster.

Seeing the two of them blocking the cupboard, Su Luoluo glared at them and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up, I need to use it."

After saying that, he took two bowls and put one in each person's hand.

After receiving the bowls, the two sat down at the round table and began frantically squeezing wild fruits.

Nan Tu was originally squeezing in at a leisurely pace, but the people next to him wouldn't let him go, so he sped up quite a bit.

Fu Feng watched from the side, somewhat dumbfounded. "What are these two doing? It's just squeezing some wild fruit juice, do they have to go to such lengths?"

Xi Yi glanced at it and smiled, "This is a competition between orcs. You'll find out later."

The two of them were splashing more and more water on Su Luoluo's face as they ate the wild fruit. When they saw that the seeds of the wild fruit were coming out, Su Luoluo couldn't help but yell, "What are you two doing? It'll be bitter if you get the seeds in!"

She felt she couldn't forgive the two of them if they ruined the sauce she had worked so hard to make.

What are you doing?

What's the point of comparing it to the juice of a wild fruit?

Upon hearing this, the two immediately fell silent.

After the honey was almost ready, Su Luoluo poured in the sour juice of the wild berries and stirred it well. Then, she used a brush made from wild onions to apply the seasoning to the pigskin.

After rinsing, let it air dry.

Then they found an open space, built a fire, and after the piglet had dried, they used a wooden stick to support its shape and placed it on top to roast.

She first baked it over low heat for a while until it set, then turned up the heat and flipped it over to bake the skin.

While baking, rotate the oven and brush with oil until the crust turns golden brown with a reddish tinge.

During this process, the four of them were busy running around. At first, they didn't understand why Su Luoluo made roasting a pig so complicated, since they usually roasted it directly over an open flame and had never applied any smears or pastes like she did.

When the beautiful golden color appeared, all four of them were completely convinced. The soft, shiny luster was incomparable to their previous methods of roasting suckling pig.

Moreover, when the pig skin started to burst, Su Luoluo made them poke holes in it with bamboo skewers, saying it was to release the air and prevent it from bubbling and becoming unpalatable.

And so, the five of them worked together all afternoon and finally roasted the suckling pig. Its golden, glistening color made Fufeng's mouth water.

"This looks amazing! I can't wait!"

Looking at the beautiful colors before her, Su Luoluo nodded in satisfaction: "Let's put it on the round table. We can start eating once everyone is here."

Xiao Ye arrived late just as the pork was being served; this was the first time Su Luoluo had ever seen him late for a meal.

Seeing him approach, she asked with concern, "Why are you only arriving now?"

Xiao Ye's mood, which had been depressed all afternoon, improved considerably after hearing Su Luoluo's caring words.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally figured it out. Although Su Luoluo didn't belong to him alone, as long as he could find a way to keep Su Luoluo around, he could spend the longest time with her, and it would be even better if they could have a baby together.

After processing his bad mood, his expression calmed down considerably. When Su Luoluo asked him, he simply said, "I had to go."

Su Luoluo never really cared about their private affairs. As long as it didn't affect her mission, she usually let them do as they pleased, so she didn't ask any further questions upon hearing this.

She divided some of the wild boar meat in her hand and gave it to him: "Eat up, it's crispy right out of the oven."

Xiao Ye accepted it upon hearing this.

Then Su Luoluo distributed the roast suckling pig to the people in order of how far they were from her seat.

After receiving the suckling pig, Mo Xuan and Fu Feng couldn't wait and immediately stuffed it into their mouths.

The first bite is of the golden-brown skin, which is incredibly crispy. Then comes the juicy, marinated meat, which is both fragrant and delicious.

After taking a bite, Mo Xuan couldn't help but praise, "It's so delicious! This is the first time I've ever eaten such delicious pork. Su Luoluo, you're amazing!"

Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo smiled and said, "It's delicious, there's more to come."

She distributed the roast suckling pig to everyone on the table, but Luan Ting still hadn't come over.

This is unusual. Luan Ting is always very punctual, so why is he late today?

Thinking of this, she glanced at Xiao Ye and asked, "Have you seen Luan Ting? Why hasn't he come over yet today?"

Xiao Ye shook his head. "I didn't see him when I came over, but I saw him in the square a little earlier. He probably had something to take care of."

Unlike the others who only participate in tribe activities when something major happens, Luan Ting, as Su Yang's right-hand man, has always been responsible for many matters in the tribe. Therefore, when Xiao Ye said this, Su Luoluo didn't say anything.

After finishing his portion of pork, Fu Feng reached out towards the suckling pig, but Su Luoluo quickly stopped him: "Eat the other parts, leave this for Luan Ting."

"He can eat anywhere else!" Fu Feng said, moving his hand to another spot, somewhat dissatisfied.

“You’ve already eaten several pieces of meat from the front of the suckling pig, it’s fairer to eat the rest.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Feng did not say anything more.

Su Luoluo thought that since Luan Ting wasn't coming, she would send some over later.

After setting aside Luan Ting's portion of suckling pig, Su Luoluo took a bite of the suckling pig in her own bowl. It was plump and juicy, with crispy skin and a garlicky aroma. The taste was really good.

Just as he finished his bowl and was about to tear off another piece of meat, a wolf-eared orc rushed over in a panic, "Something's wrong, Lolo! Many people in the tribe have been poisoned. The chief sent me to call you to take a look."

Poisoning?

How could someone suddenly be poisoned?
Upon hearing this, Su Luoluo immediately stood up and walked to the wolf-eared beastman. "Let's go!"

As they ate their roast suckling pig, they put down their bowls with serious expressions and followed behind Su Luoluo.

For Su Yang to come to her about something this serious, it seems she's also fallen victim to it.

"How many people in the tribe have been poisoned?" Su Luoluo asked as she walked quickly.
