Chapter 43: The Heartless Tycoon
Chen B-Dog also saw this Buddha Jumps over the Wall and he contacted Dog Egg to check the backstage info for the private message secretly. It turned out to be the related department indeed.
That was the best way since he did not the hobby of keeping tigers as pets. He said, “My current position is deep in the forest. It is not practical to tell you my bearings. But I can tell you the final destination of this trip. If everything goes smoothly, I will reach the day after tomorrow. You can choose to wait there or you may wait for me to meet you in the city nearby.”
“And to the fellow audience friends in the live broadcast room, I haven’t told you the final destination of this trip. I wanted to give you a surprise but unexpectedly I have to share it now. Starting the day before yesterday, I have crossed half of the DXAL forest and, finally, I will bring you to visit the last hunter tribe of China and that is Evenki Tribe.”
“You may be unfamiliar with this place and I am looking forward to going there too.”
“The Evenki people enjoy their cultures which have a few million years of history. It includes Forest Culture, Hunting Culture, Samanism Culture, Reindeer Culture, Birch Bark Culture, Food Culture and Tea Culture. Unfortunately, these traditional cultures are suffering from the impact of modern civilization and gradually fade out of sight. The Evenki’s superb hunting skills and traditions are gradually disappearing from this tribe.”
“Besides, there has been a major migration in the last ten years. They have moved out from Aoluguya Township which they have been staying for almost 38 years, to the outskirt of the GH city. I think that move must have been fraught with contradictions. They left the quiet forest and go to face the world which is full of noise. They are no longer depending on the hunting gun and reindeer for a living. Perhaps the tools will become a decoration. The modern civilization is entering the primitive life of Evenki people.”
“Anyway, I have been attracted by this mystery and their ancient Hunting Culture tradition.”
“Friends, this journey is long and full of obstacles. Mystery means unknown. Human beings have been evolved from the primitive man to the dominants of the earth and that is the result of being courageous to explore the unknown continuously. The process of exploring the mystery is never smooth. It is full of ups and downs and at the same time, it is always full of expectations. I am going to overcome the difficulties one after another with your encouragement and following.”
“This is just the first destination. Not only the hunter tribe; I will lead you to explore more mysteries places and travel to the desolated and inhabited No Man’s Land. My biggest wish is to travel around the world with my own feet. Go to the isolated islands, to oceans, to swamps, to deserts, to mountains, to rainforests… I am going to challenge the most exciting adventures, seek the most primitive cuisines and use the camera to record the prettiest wild lands.”
“Guys, please follow my steps. My name is Chen B-Dog, English name is Nicholas, Lord B-Dog and this is “The Godlike Gourmet of the Wild”! I hope to have your companionship and witness along the journey. Come on guys, let’s follow my page.”
Out of sudden, he had pretended to act cool. It made the live broadcast lively again.
“Super Brilliant”
“A sudden surprise of pretending to act cool, I am choking.”
“It is like watching a foreign documentary. I feel like this live broadcast room is so advanced and classy.”
“Lord B-Dog is diagnosed as suffering the weird disease that he cannot live without pretending to act cool. He is in the terminal stage and there is no remedy to cure him. Verification is done. Do not thank me. My name is Old Military Physician.”
“You have a shocking English name. Nicholas, Lord B-Dog? Aren’t you called Two Dogs-Chen?”
“Lord B-Dog, I support you and I have followed you.”
“This journey is long and full of obstacles. I have decided to keep following you!”
“Freelance Cowboy treats Chen B-Dog 50 Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Quickly grab the treasure box.” He left the message, “Just feel like sending gifts, I am headstrong.”
“President Wang treats Chen B-Dog 66 Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Quickly grab the treasure box.” He left the message, “Keep it up and you will be successful.”
“Big Nose Nuofeng treats Chen B-Dog 10 Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Quickly grab the treasure box.” He left the message, “Speaking of pretending to act cool, I only admire Lord B-Dog.”
“Sunset Dust treats Chen B-Dog 100 Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Quickly grab the treasure box.” She left the message, “My Lord B-Dog is so handsome. Muackz.”
…
Chen B-Dog was watching the sudden gift wave of Buddha Jumps over the Wall. He smiled bitterly, “The tycoons are really heartless. Do you think it is easy of pretending to act cool? You jumped out of the limelight too early. To the friends who send more than 10 Buddha Jumps over the Wall, I am too embarrassed to speak out your names. Not worth. Just send me the Rice Ball will do and I prefer to get the free gift, Bamboo. Additionally, thanks Nuofeng for your Buddha Jumps over the Wall. Are you having your first live broadcast tonight? Finally, Panda has recruited a strong man. Can you call me for the LOL game? Rest assured, I have been playing LOL for 100 years. My level is Aiolia, The Challenger!”
Big Nose Nuofeng, “No problem, The Challenger.”
“Bravo, The Challenger.”
“If the king of LOL, Lord B-Dog says he is the runner-up then no one dares to call himself the champion.”
“Suddenly I am looking forward to seeing Nuofeng play LOL with Lord B-Dog. Will it be horrible?”
After thanking everyone, Chen B-Dog put on his serious face and said, “It is very late now and it is snowing outside. It is so dark that I cannot even see my hand. I am starving. Have you guys eaten dinner while watching the live broadcast?”
The camera turned and aimed at the black pot that was cooking the snow water. He smiled evilly and said, “Finally it is my favorite section again. Now I have a great store of food. It is time to reward myself. I plan to cook the Braised Rabbit with Brown Sauce and the main course is Baked Potato.”
“The ingredients are half a boneless rabbit, two sweet edible tree rootstocks, some mushrooms and some Sichuan peppers. ”
The little black pot that had gained a lot of exposure, had stolen the spotlight in the live broadcast room.
The regular audience knew clearly. It was worthwhile to watch B-Dog’s cooking, even if he was merely cutting the vegetables. Moreover, it was never boring to watch him cooking while talking.
“First, boil the snow water and when it turns warm, put in the rabbit meat and cook it until the water boils. Take out the rabbit meat and rinse it with the spare water. Put it on a clean rock plate. Next, pour off the water and put in some animal fats. You don’t have to put too much, just a layer that covers the bottom of the pot will do. Actually, the rabbit meat’s oil content is not high. Furthermore, animals in the forest contain less fat than domestic animals. If you are cooking at home, you can put more oil and put in the onion and ginger until their fragrance comes out. Now, I am going to use the edible tree rootstocks and mushroom that I found in the forest to replace the onion and ginger.”
“When the fragrance can be smelled, put in the rabbit meat which has cooled down quickly. Next, stir fry the meat. Take note of the frying and cooking time. Then, put in the natural ice and snow. If you are at home, just pour the cold water in directly, enough to cover the rabbit meat. Then add in the seasoning, Sichuan pepper, salt and others. If you are using the gas, when it is boiling, turn the gas to low heat.”
He definitely had no condition to change to low heat now. Nevertheless, he had another good method.
Chen B-Dog held the pot handle with both hands and started to spin it on the fire. In an instant, the snow water was melted. The audience was watching curiously. A pot of rabbit meat soup created a whirling vortex in the black pot. After a while, it spun in the reverse direction. By doing so, it formed a divided circle like a Tai-chi diagram. However, the meat stayed exactly in the middle of two spinning circles. However, it was strange that no soup was spilled out the pot. It was really incredible.
When only about 20% of the sauce was left, he added in the tender sweet tree rootstocks. Then he took the ginseng out after being soaked for a day, cut it into slices, added into the pot, and stir-fried them.
