Just how much of a paradise could such an unremarkable large stone slab be?
The students looked at each other. They really couldn't think of how useful this thing could be in such a simple environment.
However, Lu Xiao was not in a hurry to explain. He just patiently started the fire.
Although there were few things in the house and it was very simple, there was a pile of firewood beside the stove.
After Lu Xiao skillfully drew some fire to light the stove, the small room suddenly became warm.
Lu Xiao took out a big basin from under the bed and scooped some clean snow from outside. He put it by the stove to melt the snow water and began to clean the cabinets and tables in the room. As he wiped, he said,
"The snow has sealed the mountain in winter. It's too dangerous to cross the snow mountain to go to the treasure basin at this time.
So this place had probably not been used for a few months. I was considered the first visitor in the beginning of spring. For the sake of the people behind me, I had to tidy up.”
No way, Professor Lu, I just saw a pile of firewood by the stove. How could no one come for months?
A student asked curiously.
"Because the firewood that everyone used here will be picked up and piled up again before they leave.
Sometimes, he brought back more than he used, so even if no one came for a long time, the firewood was always full.”
Lu Xiao smiled and said,"
"When this small wooden house was just built, there was nothing inside.
Later on, the villagers gradually became more and more. They had beds, cabinets, tables, fireplaces, and some small things that they needed for daily life.
After everyone finished using it, they didn't take it away. They stayed here to help the people who came later and also to help themselves.
In a sense, this small wooden house was put together by all the people in the village who had been here before, so it had a very special meaning to us.”
After cleaning the table and cabinet, Lu Xiao changed a new basin of water, took a gray boar hair brush, and squatted in front of the large stone slab of unknown use.
He used a fire clamp to pick up a few pieces of firewood from the burning fireplace and stuffed them into the dark hole under the stone slab. Lu Xiao dipped a pig hair brush in water and began to scrub the stone slab.
Everyone thought that it would take a lot of effort to burn such a thick stone slab, but they didn't expect that in less than two minutes, the water droplets on the stone slab would start to dance. It was enough to show that it had good thermal conductivity.
Hearing the slight scratching sound of Lu Xiao's people scrubbing the stone slabs, the two little foxes who were originally rolling and playing on the bed pricked up their ears and listened for a while.
The two of them jumped lightly onto the table and landed steadily on the small stool beside the stone slab. They stretched their heads out and looked curiously at Lu Xiao's movements.
"I'm warning the two of you. Don't touch me here. Otherwise, if your claws are burned later, I won't care about you.”
Lu Xiao glanced at the two of them and warned them.
However, the two little fellows completely turned a deaf ear to Lu Xiao's 'warning'. They still looked eager to try the stone slab.
Thinking of how they would do whatever they were told to do and go against others, Lu Xiao blinked and thought of a good idea.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the claw of the little fox with red fur, which had a more lively personality.
The two of them did not resist Lu Xiao's touch at all. Lu Xiao could do whatever he wanted to them.
The little red fox thought that Lu Xiao was playing with it, so it happily snorted and was about to fall down and act coquettishly.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiao did not grab its claws to tease it, but to get close to the burning stone slab!
Feeling the burning sensation coming from the meat pad, the little red fox was so scared that it desperately tried to break free. The originally coquettish groan turned into a frightened cry.
But how could it pull Lu Xiao with that little strength?
Seeing that the little guy was so scared that his voice had changed, Lu Xiao finally let go.
The two little fluffballs who were originally eager to try by the stone slab were frightened by this and did not dare to approach. They shrank their bodies and hid by the side of the bench, looking at Lu Xiao with grievance and fear.
"It's better to scare them now than to burn their feet when the stone slab gets hotter.”
Looking at the two aggrieved furballs, Lu Xiao shook his head helplessly and said with a smile,"
"Wouldn't it be over if the two of you were so cowardly earlier? There's no need to scare you like this.”
As he spoke, Lu Xiao stood up and pushed the door open.
Not long after, he returned with a parcel and a leather bag filled with liquid.
It was the 'rations' that Hongming City had prepared for him.
Lu Xiao opened the package and looked inside. He smiled in satisfaction.
Old Hong was indeed sensible!
Other than some highland steamed-bread and dried meat, there was also a piece of fresh beef and a piece of rock salt.
The moment the package was opened, the two little foxes keenly sensed the fragrant smell of meat.
However, because she was frightened by Lu Xiao just now, she did not dare to take the initiative to go over. She could only curl up on the bench and look at Lu Xiao pitifully.
"What's with the look in your eyes? It's as if I'm abusing the two of you.”
Lu Xiao took out a small knife from his waist, carefully cut a few slices of beef, and placed them in front of the two little fellows.
The beef that Mr. Hong had brought him was really good. Not only was it fresh, but the patterns were also beautiful.
The white fat lines were evenly spread throughout the meat, and it was not inferior to the wagyu beef that was sold for a sky-high price in the city.
These two little foxes were still young after all, and they had eaten a lot in the morning. Although they craved beef now, they did not eat much. A few slices would be enough.
Lu Xiao only turned around after the two little fellows finished eating.
Seeing that the large stone slab was already burning hot, the students finally reacted.
F * ck, could this be used to make barbecued meat?？
Did it have to be so fragrant! He really knew how to enjoy himself!
"It's just barbecued meat."
Lu Xiao smiled as he took out a piece of butter from his pocket and placed it on the stone slab that had been heated up.
The effect of the already boiling hot stone slab was no less than that of an iron plate. The moment the butter was placed on it, it made a sizzling sound.
After wetting the slate with butter, Lu Xiao placed the beef slices on it one by one.
After frying until both sides were brown, he picked up the beef with the tip of the knife and rubbed it on the rock salt twice. Then, it could be eaten.
The charred butter and the salt taste were just right. Fresh and high-grade ingredients only needed such a simple cooking to perfectly emit the original taste.
The two little foxes, who had clearly eaten their fill just now, were now watching Lu Xiao eat piece by piece of the slate roasted meat and smelling the wonderful fragrance of butter in the air. They were so greedy that their saliva dripped down the corners of their mouths.
What should he do? It was too fragrant. Who could withstand it!
