Chapter 109: Wind Roc Bone Soup

After returning to the Old Family House, Zhou Yu went to the kitchen to take a look. He decided to stew a pot of Wind Roc bone soup to taste.

Although this half-body of Wind Roc meat had no feathers or skin, and its head and internal organs were gone, some of the bones inside still remained.

In the past few days, he had been eating the meat and saving the bones. There were still a few large bones among them. However, these big bones were really too difficult to cut. A kitchen knife became blunt after more than ten chops before barely managing to cut through them.

Even so, some of the bones were still very large. They probably wouldn’t fit into the pot, so he hadn’t stewed any soup yet and had saved them instead.

Now it was different. With the Green Radiance Flying Sword that could cut through anything, cutting these bones would be extremely easy.

Zhou Yu took out some of the bones he had previously cut and saved from the refrigerator. Then he took the Green Glow Sword from a drawer and began cutting.

This could hardly be called cutting anymore. The Green Radiance Flying Sword simply slid across the bones. Bones that the kitchen knife couldn’t cut through in one go even after many chops were directly split in two.

During the cutting process, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but laugh. He really had to thank Song Qingxiu for sending him this “kitchen sword.”

But fortunately, Song Qingxiu couldn’t see this scene. Otherwise, he would definitely be so angry he’d cough up blood, worsening his injuries.

While cutting the bones, Huzi and the others smelled the scent and rushed over in a crowd. For dogs, bones were more attractive than meat.

Seeing Huzi and the others, Zhou Yu smiled and threw them a few small, thin bones. He had occasionally fed them bones before. However, given Huzi and the others’ abilities, biting through bones wasn’t an easy task, and this method didn’t provide much nutrition either.

Stewing soup with bones was different. It could completely cook out the nutrients inside the bones. That was why he had kept the bones all along.

After cutting the bones, Zhou Yu took out a large pot, placed it on the gas stove, put the cut bone pieces inside, poured in water, turned on the gas, and began stewing.

These Wind Roc bones were very hard. It would likely take a long time to stew them. If the family still used the old earthen stove with firewood like before, who knew when the soup would be ready. Now, with modern gas, it was naturally different.

Then, Zhou Yu checked the time and decided not to call his parents for now. It was already noon, twelve o’clock. He didn’t know when the bone soup would be ready yet. It wouldn’t be too late to take it to them after it was done.

Wind Roc meat was good for health. The nutrients in this bone soup would naturally be even more helpful for the elderly than the meat itself.

After putting the bones on to stew, Zhou Yu went to the yard. The Immortal Flavor Fruits were about to ripen soon. He needed to harvest them and then air-dry them in the yard.

When he was busy this morning, he had also used a shovel to slowly dig open the spot where one of the Jade Stones of the Main Spirit Gathering Array was buried.

Sure enough, the light flowing within that Low-Grade Immortal Stone from the Immortal World was already much less than at the beginning, and its color had also changed somewhat.

Just as he had previously guessed, this Low-Grade Spirit Gathering Array obtained from Uncle-Master Wu probably wouldn’t last much longer.

However, although his mood was somewhat serious, it wasn’t as anxious and worried as when he first got the Radio. Even if the Main Spirit Gathering Array collapsed before the next time the Radio turned on, he could still rely on the things he had saved up to continue progressing on the road to prosperity and a well-off life.

To ensure future development, Zhou Yu decided to speed up the propagation time for the Jade Dew plants. He aimed to cultivate more mature or semi-mature Jade Dew plants before the Spirit Gathering Array collapsed. At the same time, he also bought two new types of Jade Dew online to increase the variety.

While stewing the bone soup, Zhou Yu went in from time to time to check, adding some water. After the water boiled, he added some scallions, ginger, and other seasonings. Of course, he also added the freshly ripened Immortal Flavor Fruit.

For stir-frying and such, Immortal Flavor Fruit Powder was very suitable. But for stewing soup now, using the Immortal Flavor Fruit allowed the flavor to slowly infuse into the bones and soup during the long cooking process.

After harvesting the Immortal Flavor Fruits, he left them in the yard to air-dry. By now, over an hour had passed since he started stewing the bone soup. However, it looked like the bones were just beginning to show signs of breaking down.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile wryly. He estimated that to completely stew this Wind Roc bone into soup, it would take at least three or four hours, maybe even more.

As time passed, just as he predicted, it took three hours for the rich aroma of the bone soup to slowly begin to spread. He estimated it would be ready in another hour or so.

During this time, Zhou Yu added hot water from time to time to maintain the water level in the pot. After the scent of the Wind Roc bone soup started to spread, Huzi, Dabao, and Xiaobao were the first who couldn’t resist and gathered around.

They stood at the kitchen door, watching while licking their lips, making Zhou Yu chuckle. Actually, it wasn’t just these animals; even he couldn’t resist wanting to drink this Wind Roc bone soup.

After the aroma slowly drifted out, suddenly, Huzi and the others, who were watching the soup pot with longing at the kitchen door, twitched their ears as if sensing something and rushed out. In the yard, the cry of the Golden Eagle was also heard.

Zhou Yu quickly ran out to look and widened his eyes. Several small wild animals had entered the yard. They seemed to have come from the nearby forest. His family’s Old Family House was far from the center of the village and could be considered very secluded.

These animals were probably attracted by the fragrance of the Wind Roc bone soup. After chasing these animals out of the yard, he closed all the kitchen doors and windows, and even took out a few pieces of plastic sheeting to cover them to prevent the aroma from spreading.

Spirit Beast Meat and bones from the Immortal World were so attractive. By now, the Wind Roc bones, stewed with Immortal Flavor Fruit and other seasonings, emitted a fragrance strong enough to attract anyone, let alone animals with keen senses of smell.

In the following time, because he promptly blocked the spread of the smell, no more small animals rushed in.

Finally, after stewing until past four o’clock, nearly five hours in total, the Wind Roc bone soup was successfully stewed.

At this moment, because the kitchen was sealed, the whole kitchen was filled with a rich, thick aroma. Zhou Yu opened the pot lid, and the aroma that rushed out was almost intoxicating. He carefully ladled a bowl. When the temperature was about right, he tried a sip.

After the soup entered his mouth, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face. This taste was even better than the Wind Roc meat. After drinking it, he felt a warm current rush to all parts of his body, making him feel warm all over.

However, although a warm current was produced, it was far less powerful than that of the Bone Blood Pill. If his parents drank it, there should be no problem. Still, it was better to dilute it with some hot water.

Immediately, Zhou Yu served Huzi and the others each a large bowl of soup, with some bones and meat inside. The animals instantly gathered around and began to eat.

As for the two little Raccoons, Gan Gan and Cui Cui, at this moment, they couldn’t even be bothered to wash the meat inside and directly started drinking the soup. For the bone soup given to these two little Raccoons, Zhou Yu diluted it with some hot water.

After all, these two little ones were still small. Even when feeding them Wind Roc meat before, he only gave them a small piece.

After Xiaobao finished its soup, it looked at Zhou Yu with a face full of longing. “Only one bowl for now. We’ll see when I come back tonight,” Zhou Yu said bluntly, shattering its fantasy.

Seeing no hope, Xiaobao turned its gaze towards Gan Gan and Cui Cui. Dabao was its older brother, so it couldn’t steal from him. It couldn’t beat Huzi. As for the Golden Eagle, it didn’t dare to provoke it. The only ones it could bully now were Gan Gan and Cui Cui.

Xiaobao slowly crouched down. When it got close to Gan Gan and Cui Cui’s little bowls, it pounced fiercely. However, its speed was fast, but Gan Gan and Cui Cui were even faster. They directly picked up their little bowls and started running while gulping the soup down into their bellies.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but burst out laughing. He called Xiaobao back and served it another half bowl. Then, he took out another pot, poured in half a pot of soup, and added some more bones.

Next, he poured in some hot water, diluting it in advance. After all, his parents were elderly. Although the warm current was small, it could still cause some impact on the body. Diluting it was safer.

After sealing the pot lid, Zhou Yu drove the car and went out of the Old Family House with Huzi, leaving Dabao and Xiaobao behind to watch the house.
