Chapter 237 Can I have another piece? It tastes really good!
Because just now, the stopwatch in his hand had already sounded. Does Zhang Chuan want to eliminate those who did not make a decision on time?
But Zhang Chuan's actions told him that he was worrying too much.
"Haven't you learned how to eat yet?" Zhang Chuan slowly approached and said to the recruits.
The recruits were stunned when they heard this.
"Such good game is wasted by you. You wasted at least a quarter, or even a third, of a rat's meat!"
After saying that, Zhang Chuan walked towards the cage and grabbed the mouse that was struggling the most violently.
He took out a saber from his waist and slashed the mouse lightly with it, seemingly without much effort.
A cut immediately appeared on the mouse's body. Zhang Chuan's technique was precise and only damaged the mouse's fur without hurting its bones or flesh.
He pressed the saber sideways against the rat and pulled with a little force.
The recruits were stunned, and even the high school team behind them were deeply shocked by Zhang Chuan's swordsmanship!
Zhang Chuan peeled off the mouse's skin easily and completely like a skilled butcher.
The whole process is incredibly fast, from catching the mouse to skinning it, taking no more than five seconds!
What’s even more amazing is that the mouse didn’t bleed at all and its fur was intact.
A stroke, a pull, a tug!
The mouse skin was peeled off as smoothly as silk, and during the process, Zhang Chuan did not hurt any flesh or bones inside.
After peeling the skin, Zhang Chuan held up the mouse's tail to show everyone.
The recruits were right. Eating in the way Shi Dafan did would indeed carry the risk of contracting parasites.
But in the wild, facing the brink of starvation and death, you can't care so much.
"When conditions permit, it is best to handle raw meat properly."
Zhang Chuan continued while holding the mouse: "What I mean by treatment is not roasting or boiling as you think. That will only expose our whereabouts."
"The physical fitness of special forces soldiers is far superior to that of ordinary people. Under normal circumstances, parasites do not pose a threat to us. However, when we are fighting behind enemy lines and our dry food is exhausted, our immunity and resistance will decrease."
"If you eat food containing parasites at this time, your body is likely to be affected. Assuming you have diarrhea because of eating these, what can you use to complete the task?"
The recruits were silent.
They all understand the truth!
But...if it really comes to that, what can I do? If I don't eat, I will starve to death. Who will care about so much at that time?
Although they were dissatisfied, no one dared to show it.
Zhang Chuan held the mouse and walked around in front of the recruits one by one, letting everyone take a good look at the mouse in his hand.
"Do you know where the bacteria on mice come from?"
Zhang Chuan stood in front of the recruits again, with a half-smile on his face, and asked questions.
This question is obviously a free point!
Of course, if the answer is correct, that’s another story.
The new recruits were all silent, afraid of saying the wrong thing, and had to experience Zhang Chuan's unique "special care".
The scene suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. The recruits looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.
All this was exactly what Zhang Chuan wanted.
Zhang Chuan looked around with disdain and said with a curled lip, "With your condition, you still want to be a special forces soldier? Seriously, don't waste your youth. You might as well go home and farm and feed pigs."
"You still want to be a special forces soldier, and you still want to be a soldier king? That's simply a fantasy."
After some psychological suppression, Zhang Chuan nodded with satisfaction.
The effect was immediate, and simple psychological tactics made some people back down.
Zhang Chuan looked at the remaining recruits. "Most of the bacteria on rats are attached to their skin, and the parasites hide in their blood. If you cut them into pieces like Shi Dafan and his men did, the rat meat will be easily contaminated."
The assistant instructors behind him, who were originally gloating, now couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
"Shi Dafan, you guys listen too." Zhang Chuan held the mouse and turned to Shi Dafan and the others.
"Yes!" Several instructors said in unison, and then waited attentively for the lecture.
"To avoid bacteria and parasites, the simplest thing is to stay away from blood and try to contaminate the meat as little as possible." After hearing what Zhang Chuan said, the recruits couldn't help but lower their heads, their hearts beating fast.
What I thought in my head was, “Oh, I see.”
But the hand is saying: "What do you know!"
"Keep calm, skinning a mouse isn't that hard."
As Zhang Chuan spoke, he used a knife to operate on the mouse. Everyone thought the scene would be bloody, but the recruits stared at Zhang Chuan in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the meat cut by Zhang Chuan was crystal clear and there was almost no blood!
If the recruits hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought that Zhang Chuan was holding sashimi!
Comparing the crystal clear rat meat in Zhang Chuan's hand and then looking at the result in his own hands, there is a world of difference.
He Chenguang and Tan Xiaolin's hands were covered in blood.
Just take your time? Is it that simple? Can I do the same as Zhang Chuan?
There is no need to guess, they definitely can't do it.
Zhang Chuan quickly cut the rat meat into slices and arranged them neatly. At first glance, it felt like high-end cuisine.
After dealing with the mouse, Zhang Chuan picked up a piece of meat and put it directly into his mouth.
After Zhang Chuan's preparation, who would still feel disgusted? People would believe that this is a dish from a high-end restaurant!
The visual changes reduced the disgust of the recruits present.
"Instructor, can I try a slice?" Shen Lannie stood up and asked.
Zhang Chuan nodded in agreement and handed Shen Lannie a piece of rat meat.
Although the meat looked very clean, Shen Lannie still ate it with gritted teeth as if she was going to the execution ground.
But this painful expression did not last long, and Shen Lannie's face gradually relaxed.
After finishing the meal, Shen Lannie wanted to have another piece: "Chief Instructor, can you... give me another piece? It tastes really good."
"Work hard on your own and you will have enough food and clothing." Zhang Chuan said lightly.
Under the leadership of He Chenguang and Tan Xiaolin, and with the demonstration of Zhang Chuan, the recruits overcame the psychological threshold.
With Zhang Chuan's demonstration, the recruits seemed to be motivated.
"Chief Instructor, please teach us how to eat rat meat! We all want to learn!"
"I'm so hungry, Chief Instructor, please teach me again!"
The recruits begged Zhang Chuan with expectant eyes.
Afterwards, Zhang Chuan caught another mouse and performed the dissection show in front of everyone again.
Everyone stared at Zhang Chuan, watching him use the knife...it was simply an artistic enjoyment, like carving a treasure.
Following Zhang Chuan's demonstration, the new recruits also began to try to imitate him.
But their movements were far less neat and efficient than Zhang Chuan's. Zhang Chuan could finish one in just a few seconds, but they had to take more than ten minutes.
Even the high school team behind couldn't help but secretly admire Zhang Chuan after hearing what he said.
"Old Zhang is really good at this. What he said makes sense. It is indeed easy to get parasites if we eat like that." Shi Dafan touched his chin and thought.
"Let's find some time to visit Zhang Chuan and secretly learn a few tricks from him."
"Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating... Is there anything Zhang Chuan can't do? I didn't expect his sword skills are so amazing."
The assistant instructors discussed in low voices.
As time passed, the recruits had more and more rat meat in their hands.
When the high school team members looked at the recruits again, they couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in their hearts.
Why does it seem like they are tasting some delicacies from the land or the sea when we see them eating rat meat?
Why do they feel like they are missing out on the whole world!
Looking at the crystal clear slices of meat in the hands of the recruits, Shi Dafan and the others couldn't help swallowing.
