Chapter Twenty-Eight: Dry Pot Fat Sausage
It was already afternoon after Li Cheng and the others returned to the Grizzly Bear Ranch, and just as the sun was setting, Noah smeared "The Glory of Itchana" to speed up everyone's journey a lot, and they arrived at the Grizzly Bear Ranch in less than half a day, which was more than half the time it took to come.
If Li Chengcheng and Noah had known that they had taken this secret ointment in advance, they wouldn't have caused so much trouble, and it would have been like a long march.
When Li Cheng informed Noah of the idea of asking for "the glory of Itzana", his expression was extremely embarrassed.
"Noah, if this makes you embarrassed, I didn't say it!" Li Cheng thought in his heart that Noah might take into account the rules of the tribe, after all, this kind of thing related to the development and survival of the tribe is not something that can be given to outsiders casually, Li Cheng expressed his understanding, and did not embarrass Noah because of this, although Old Peake and Claire are also curious about the mysterious thing that made them get out of the national park safely. In fact, the white people have always been more interested in the special existence of shamans or witch doctors in the indigenous tribal system, and there are a group of people who specialize in this area, going deep into the Arctic Circle, Latin America and other places to study their religious beliefs, humanistic customs, and the more famous is the Shijie doom predicted by the Maya.
Noah unloaded the bag on the horse's back and explained: "Man, it's not that I deliberately concealed it, but this ointment is very dangerous, once the skin is cut, the ointment will seep in, causing poisoning, which is ten times more toxic than pure rattlesnake venom, and ordinary people will be poisoned without any consciousness." And only the Inuit constitution can resist the "Glory of Itzana", so for the sake of your safety, you can't be smeared at will! ”
Noah's words made everyone even more surprised, "The Glory of Itzana", which is more than ten times stronger than rattlesnake venom, is actually ineffective against Eskimos? Could it be that this is really the special favor of the sun god for the Eskimos?
Li Cheng is a little unconvinced, out of consideration that he may go in and out of the national park in the future, he feels that this kind of plaster similar to the effect of "mosquito repellent" must be prepared, Noah is sometimes not in the pasture or can't open the air, but Li Cheng must go into the forest again, so the ointment can be used.
"Noah, I want to try to smear the glory of Itchana, because according to the crown of the grizzly warrior you blessed before, I should be recognized by the Inuit and the sun god and the rattlesnake totem, then I am eligible for the glory of Itchana."
After Li Cheng finished speaking, he fixed his eyes and looked at Noah, and Deku and the others, who didn't know the situation, didn't know what was going on, and looked at each other.
Old Peake also knew something about the ointment, and advised, "Boss, I've never seen a non-Inuit dare to apply the glory of Itzana, or since the pioneer died of blackening and poisoning shortly after using it ten years ago. ”
Because of this reason, the "glory of Itzana" has become a discolored existence, so it gradually faded out of people's sight, and white people rarely know that the Eskimos have this miraculous ointment, a necessary weapon for walking in the wilderness.
It's no wonder that the old Peake tried his best to stop it, and the others also spoke out after hearing it, although Li Cheng nodded on the surface, but the heart that wanted to get a glimpse of the glory of Itzana did not fade, he estimated that the reason why the Eskimos have this ability is likely to be that the genes have anti-toxicity, due to genetics, the Inuit came to the American continent since tens of thousands of years ago, and the natural world is opposed, and there are no less than 10,000 types of toxins, so after being passed down from generation to generation, they have a certain degree of anti-poison ability.
Leaving this topic aside, Li Cheng called Shen Nianzu and Noah to get to know each other, and talked about the specific details of the parade, and Claire also participated, representing the media Liliang.
"I have already applied for your intention to march, the specific time and requirements, it will take a week to get the results, and conservative estimates may be half a month at the earliest."
There is plenty of time to prepare Noah for anything.
“xiexie。” Noah thanked him and hid his gratitude in his heart, he knew very well that the reason why Claire and Guy Shen would help Noah and the Eskimo tribe who had never known each other was nothing more than the result of Li Cheng's efforts, otherwise how could the news of the Eskimo being expelled by the federal government reach Canadian television in time?
Noah talked with Shen Nianzu and Claire in the villa for a long time, until Li Cheng made a table of authentic Hunan dishes that had been served, mainly made from some wild boar meat brought by the Rattlesnake tribe.
Mao's braised pork, fried shredded pork with chili, dry pot fat sausage, etc.
The Inuit basically don't deal with the internal organs, and the large intestines of wild boars are discarded to dogs to eat, but fortunately, Li Cheng is quick and takes some back, otherwise there would be no such popular Hunan, Jiangxi, and Hubei famous dishes.
In order to ensure that everyone does not lose their appetite, Li Cheng is very patient in dealing with fat intestines, first scraping the fat intestines, then putting them in a pot of cold water, adding white wine and cooking them, draining them, draining them, and cutting them into strips 2.5 cm long and 1 cm wide after cooling; Remove the stems of green and red peppers and cut them into hob pieces, remove the garlic seeds, cut the green onions into 2 cm long sections, and slice the ginger.
After that, it is time to stir-fry and add seasonings, and add an appropriate amount according to the taste of different people.
Dry pot fat sausage as the main dish this time, Li Cheng was the first to take this dish out, it may be that white people don't often touch the intestines, so they didn't recognize it at the first time, Claire put a piece in her mouth and chewed, after a while, she said a little suspiciously: "It's delicious, it's delicious, I just think something is wrong, Li, what is this?" ”
"Uh...... It's delicious, it's a local product of my hometown. After Li Cheng finished speaking, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen, and served some more normal dishes again, and everyone ate with their mouths full of oil, temporarily forgetting the dry pot fat sausage.
After a full meal, when Claire asked about the dish again, Li Cheng said, "I'll tell you the truth, that dish is made with fat sausages......"
After everyone heard this, they almost vomited out the food they had eaten, and the biggest reaction was George, who probably fiddled with the pig's large intestine, so when they thought of this, they immediately ran out and vomited, although the others were also extremely disgusted, but they could still bear it, and the aftertaste left on their tongues was still there, but it was delicious, not that disgusting breath, it was nothing more than a psychological effect.
"When I was a child, I didn't like to eat pig intestines, but after getting through this psychological barrier, in fact, pig intestines can make a lot of delicacies in China, and it is also a rare gourmet dish."
"I understand, this dish is indeed not as unbearable as I imagined, xiexie, you made me understand that the pig intestine can make such a delicious dish." Claire said sincerely, Noah thinks that Li Cheng's level of handling internal organs is impressive, if the rattlesnake tribe can make full use of these, then the source of food will increase a lot, and he plans to ask Li Cheng about this knowledge, but it is not easy to talk about this in this situation.
Everyone's reactions were mixed, but in general, the memory of the dry pot fat sausage was still fresh, and the praise was mixed, Deku put on a face of being deceived and roared: "God, I swear never to eat the food made by the boss!" Damn the intestines, I am scared when I think about it. ”
"Deku, you seem to be a non-believer, don't you?" Byron looked incredulous, this kid ate the most happily, and in the end he was also the one who resisted the most, and even George, who vomited the most, didn't say anything, but Deku made an oath.
"I admit it's delicious, but I can't stand the fact that it's made of intestines, and when I think about it, ......" said this, Deku finally couldn't help it, ran out and vomited wildly, and everyone laughed.
"I'm sorry everyone, I don't dare to hide the fact that this dish is made from the large intestine of a pig, as Deku said, it's one thing to be delicious, and it's my fault to deceive everyone." Li Cheng didn't expect the white man to be so uninteresting, and he didn't make any excuses, so he generously admitted his mistake.
As soon as he said this, everyone showed understanding, did not blame Li Cheng, and comforted him, but Deku and others were criticized by Old Pique, Noah and others.
The main reason is that Li Cheng will no longer cook in the future, and they will not have the opportunity to taste authentic Chinese dishes.
Of course, Li Cheng will not give up his cooking skills because of a few words from Deku, after all, he is not specially made for Deku, but is not familiar with the number of people abroad, for the sake of his own taste.
After dinner, Claire left the Grizzly Bear Ranch with the black videographer Joe because she had to catch up with the press release, and Shen Nianzu and Alyssa may have to stay at the ranch for a few days.
Everyone left Li Cheng's villa, but Noah stayed, not at Li Cheng's behest, but on his own initiative.
"Boss, I want to learn from you how to deal with internal organs, that is, how to make dry pot fat sausages." Noah said bluntly.
"This question, just Noah, you have to know, it's not enough to simply know the way to deal with it, everything has to start from the basics, Chinese cuisine is broad and profound, and it can't be learned in a while, so you have to have perseverance, I can teach you one by one."
"Thank you, boss, I have always wanted to learn Chinese cooking, and of course I should cherish this opportunity."
Li Cheng accepted Noah's apprentice, although his purpose was to make the life of the tribe better, or to make reasonable use of the food returned from hunting, but Li Cheng did not hide his secrets, and popularizing Hunan cuisine in the rattlesnake tribe was actually not a bad thing.
Li Cheng explained some tips for dealing with the large intestine of pigs, so that Noah benefited a lot, today is relatively late, he plans to spare about one to two hours a day to teach Noah cooking, from knife work, pyrotechnic and other aspects of learning, so that in the future Noah can be passed on to other Eskimos, so that the smoke of Hunan cuisine wafts in the center of the national park.
