Chapter 35: White Jade Mud

Early morning.

Today's prayer, the heavens have not instructed themselves, this has been several days, but the people of Blackstone Valley still maintain the same piety as ever when praying, and no one shows a surprised expression, which shows that they have not gone out to hunt for a long time before.

After a few days of cooking, Richie's open-air kitchen has gradually become perfect, with as many as four kitchen tables and four stone stoves. By the time Li Qi and Nong arrived here, Rong and the other three apprentices were already preparing.

"Why are there so many white taro?"

The farmer saw a kitchen table full of rhizomes, which were the staple food they usually ate, except that Li Qi had named it white taro.

"You'll find out later!" Li Qi said: "Now we have to wash these white taro, and then rub the outer layer of skin." ”

This kitchen team has become accustomed to obeying Li Qi's orders, and carried these white taro to the stream with big leaves, and began to wash and rub the skin.

They don't need a knife to peel the skin on this white taro, because their strength and the thick cocoon on their hands are simply a sharp tool for peeling the skin.

Li Qi, the master, was the slowest, and he had to use a knife to scrape, but he didn't do this work anymore, and he was now standing alone at the kitchen table to handle snake meat.

"This white taro hasn't been put yet."

When the peasants finished washing, they found that Li Qi had already lit a fire and put the stew pot on it, and couldn't help but be curious.

They have been boiling snake soup for the past few days, and this white taro is a must-go.

"Today I changed to a new dish!"

"New dishes?" Nong's eyes lit up suddenly.

Li Qi nodded, he had to create a new dish other than snake soup, to further show the role of pottery, to stimulate everyone to produce more pottery, and ordered: "Quickly cut the white taro into slices, and then chop those fruits." ”

"Oh!"

Several of the apprentices immediately took out their stone knives and cut them.

In terms of knives, Li Qi is also helpless, because he has not found iron ore for the time being, fortunately, these people are more perverted, and the stone knives are also very easy to use.

When they had chopped up, Richie had them simmer in a melting stone pot.

"Is that all it boiling?"

A female apprentice named Qin asked.

The first thing Li Qi taught them was some technical terms, not to bake everything.

Li Qi nodded.

This subverted their understanding of cooking, and they used to think that snake soup was all cooking.

Several people couldn't help but get excited, they already had a strong interest in cooking.

And Li Qi also explained to them cooking skills, how to watch the heat, and other basic knowledge while doing it.

Not only that, but there are more and more onlookers around, originally they were about to get bored, but today they knew that Li Qi was going to use a stew pot to cook, and after finishing the work in hand, they immediately rushed to observe, and when they saw that Li Qi had really changed his routine, they were excited.

After a while, Li Qi asked Rong to remove the stone pot, pour out the water inside, and put it on the table.

Li Qi picked up a stone mallet, pounded it inside, and then handed it to Nong, "Do what I just did." ”

He is here, he doesn't want to do any strenuous work, it's not that he's lazy, but it's too inefficient, and he can do it at once if he gives it to them.

Li Qi picked up a few more white stalks of greens, which resembled the stems of cabbage, but much thicker, and Li Qi used a dagger to cut the stalks into thin, slices, and then scalded them out of his hat pot. Then I went to the stove and opened the lid of the stew pot, and the thick aroma spread with the white air.

Li Qi fanned it with his hand, and saw that it was a tempting clear soup inside.

"Can you eat it?"

Nong came over.

Li Qi gave him a blank look and said, "Keep doing your job." Then he said to Rong: "Rong, take this cup down." ”

Rong directly held the stew cup with both hands, but his hands were not afraid of being hot.

Li Qi first poured the clear soup into a few bowls, then took out the snake meat inside, put it on top of a large washed leaf, and asked Qin to take the stew cup to wash it.

Li Qi personally tasted the snake soup, nodded slightly, and said in his heart, this snake meat is really incomparable, after so many days, the taste has not changed at all, and in the lack of some seasonings, it can still make such a delicious soup.

Salt, oil, sauce and vinegar, he only has salt, nothing else, he completely relies on some condiments to combine the taste, but the snake meat itself is too delicious, if there are too many seasonings, it will affect the taste of the snake meat itself.

"You stop."

Li Qi came to the farmer with a bowl of clear soup.

Nong looked at him curiously.

Li Qi slowly poured the soup into it, and instructed him: "Stir slowly, try to stir the soup evenly." ”

"Is that so?"

"Hmm."

After the two bowls of soup went down, and the farmer also stirred the white taro inside into a puree, and Li Qi used a spoon to dig out all the white taro puree inside, and put it on top of the big leaf where the snake meat was placed.

Several of the apprentices were already stupid, and had no idea what Li Qi was doing.

They can't understand it, and the people eating melons around them don't understand it even more, they used to drool, but today they see it in a fog.

Li Qi picked up another piece of wood, scraped a lump of white taro paste, smeared it on top of the shiny, thin stalk of greens, and scraped another lump until it covered the whole stalk.

Then sprinkle some cloves that are not at all beautiful on top, then spread the snake meat, then roll up the stalks of the greens, take out some of the green leaf silk that has just been prepared and tie them up, and then cut them into sections with a knife.

The "click" sound made by cutting it make the farmer and several apprentices swallow.

And when Li Qi put the sliced white taro paste on the table one by one.

A familiar scene is appearing again, the people who eat melons are starting to drool again, they finally managed to be immune to snake soup, and as soon as Li Qi changed the dish, they were exposed again.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! ”

Said with big shiny eyes.

The crystal clear green vegetable stalks, the white taro paste as white as snow inside, the pink fruit cube in the middle, wrapped in the red and white transparent snake meat inside, are extremely tempting, and then think about the thing they used to eat, it is simply a world of difference.

Meeting Li Qi was undoubtedly the happiest time of their lives, otherwise, they might not have been able to see such beautiful and tempting dishes in a few centuries.

This is the new dish that Li Qi has come up with these days, combining mashed potatoes and sushi.

"This is the new dish I made today, called Bai Yu Mui. How about I try it first? ”

Li Qi picked up a white taro puree, put it whole in his mouth, and took a bite, first of all, the crisp and juicy green vegetable stalks, but immediately it was soft, as if it melted in the mouth, with the delicious white stem puree of snake soup, permeating the mouth, when you just felt a little greasy, it was immediately sweet fruit dice, which was very pleasant, and finally it was the smooth and delicious snake meat.

This sense of layering is not only full of surprises, but also flawless and makes people chew faster.

Li Qi's eyes closed lightly and shook his head slightly, "Perfect!" I can't imagine that I can make such a perfect dish in such a humble environment, I am such a genius! ”

Suddenly, he heard a "wow" sound, which woke Li Qi up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that they were about to pounce, but fortunately the adults behind him were twisting them, otherwise, Li Qi's open-air kitchen would be over.

"I want to eat!"

"Let go of me, I want to eat!"

The little kids waved their hands forward as if they had been evil.

Scratch it! Catch!

It even let out a low roar of "woo-woo".

It's just that you are so beautiful, you are still eating so intoxicated, how can they bear it, they are so anxious that they cry, and they have entered a state of madness.

But many adults didn't seem to hear it, and looked straight at the white stem mud on the table.

Li Qi hurriedly instructed the apprentices to distribute the first batch of white jade mud to them and gag their mouths.

When they got this white jade mud, they immediately stuffed it into their mouths, which was also the most familiar way for them to eat, when they ate without blinking their eyes, and there were tears on their little faces, after eating one and then another, as if everything around them did not exist.

Li Qi was afraid that these adults would also go crazy, so he couldn't stop it, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, everyone, we will eat this at night." ”

"Really?"

"Well, I've already told Po Yi to take out the fruit for dinner."

"That's great!"

.....

The adults were pleasantly surprised that this meal was the main meal during the day, and if they ate the same meal at night, it would be equivalent to eating the main meal during the day and the main meal at night, which was really happy.

But in fact, the amount of meat has not increased, this is the rule, but Li Qi cleverly combines the main meal with dinner.

After stabilizing these adults, Li Qi hurriedly ordered a few apprentices to hurry up and work, but with the first experience, the second time was naturally much faster.

Soon, one by one, the white jade mud was distributed to everyone, and I saw that the adults and children were all sitting cross-legged on the ground, eating extremely attentively, and no one spoke, but their faces were all beautiful and full of happiness.

"How's it taste?"

Li Qi asked at Nong.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious." Nong replied vaguely.

Li Qi smiled slightly, stretched his muscles, and said: "If you want to eat at night, you will have to work hard later, and it will be the time to test you later." ”

He only made part of it, and the other part was dinner, because the farmers couldn't stand it, so Li Qi decided to let them eat first and make it later, but he was on the side to guide the whole process later, and he wouldn't do it himself, because he still had a lot to do, and it was impossible to squat here every day to cook.

Several people nodded one after another, if they could still eat this at night, it would be worth the hard work, besides, this was nothing compared to the work they had done before.

Li Qi picked one up and threw it into his mouth, while eating, he looked at the person sitting cross-legged in front of him, and a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, I see if you can still endure the life without meat.
