Lu Xiao and Jia Lan spent the whole morning just preparing the ingredients.
A large bucket of deer blood was collected and made into blocks of deer blood jelly; the deer meat and bones were also processed, with the part for today's meal set aside and the rest stored away.
Such precious ingredients are hard to come by; Lu Xiao and Xiao Jin couldn't bear to eat them, saving them to make nourishing soup for Shen Tang.
The deer meat needs to be stewed for ten hours so that all the nutrients seep into the broth. Lu Xiao simmered it from noon to night until the deer meat was tender and falling off the bone, the stew rich and fragrant, with the marrow cooked into a jelly-like consistency, ready to be slurped into the mouth with ease.
"It smells so good!" Shen Tang's appetite was whetted, and she drank two large bowls of deer soup, letting out a satisfied burp and patting her belly, feeling full to the brim.
