Chapter 14: Fried Fish Steak

While Varanka's enemies were meeting, Lorraine and the others finally finished their recovery work, and slowly returned to Lane City with the booty and prisoners, along with the defeated tribesmen. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

These visionless fools still had the opportunity to be Josephine's allies, but unfortunately the asking price was too high, and their own strength was not worth mentioning, and the army broke through the tribal camp in minutes and harvested a lot of materials and human resources.

Riding slowly on their horses, the Warthog Legion marched in a marching column, and the cavalry had already dispersed to prevent any accidents from warning the army in advance.

At this moment, Jon rode from the guard, and somewhere he got a bottle of wine, and after taking a sip, the warm liquid of wine warmed people's hearts.

"Say, it's okay to be courteous or thief."

"Is this an Oriental saying? It's weird. ”

Lorraine ignored the bishop's words, and a faint magic slowly gathered in his hand, and the wine quickly became cold, "In such a hot weather, you really need to drink ice." ”

"That's your mage's patent, and none of the Warthog Legion or support teams have learned the magic of frost." Please complain, there is no way, there is no supply place for the night march, this is not the New World a hundred years later, the town is everywhere.

"The tribes around here have been wiped out by Josephine, and it's hard to get some supplies, but I think you want to get me some food, right?" Seeing that the other party's face suddenly turned red, even his stomach made a strange chirping.

At the current pace of the march, it would take many days to return to Lane City. Although the soldiers of the Warthog Legion have greatly improved their tactical literacy and tenacity after this period of fighting, marching against the sun is really exhausting.

The deputy commander, Major Ye Liangchen, is fully armed, he is not a rich mage (although the mages here have no money), breastplate, short musket, enchanted javelin and bomb, each of which is firmly hung on his body, leading the forward to open the way, Lorraine as a general is sitting in the middle of the army is hot enough, and the rear guard is actually managed by Jon, but unfortunately this gang of people is not very competent except for the major.

It's a pity that the sun treats everyone equally, even if there is magic to help, don't think about it, those magic armor have already opened the hatch covers, one by one sticking out their tongues to relieve the heat, Lorraine uses the faint frost magic to cool them, and also assists them with scraping, although the drivers grin and shout sadness, but at least they can sleep well.

As for the ordinary soldiers, at most they drink some salt and sugar water, and the amount is not too much, because there is not much sugar produced in Aroon, don't think about mung bean soup, that thing is still in the East.

Seeing that the soldiers' physical strength and morale were sluggish, Lorraine felt that he really needed to eat well, "The scout told me there was a river ahead, and if you could catch some fish, I would be able to make something delicious." ”

"Just wait for your words, I'll arrange for someone to go right away." Jon knew Lorraine's craft, but seemed to have forgotten something.

"You're now the commander of the guard, and you're just telling me, the commander, to arrange for people to catch fish?" Lorraine is very dissatisfied, why are these guys still lazy, and they have to wait until the break to do this!

"Hehe, don't worry, Commander, I promise not to slack off!"

After about two hours, the camp finally arrived, and it happened to be the largest river on the safe route to Lane City, but unfortunately there was no market nearby, and Jon, who had the money, only bought a lot of vegetables and fatty fish from the farmers.

This kind of fish, which looks very fatty, has a huge production, a bit like the salmon of the earth, and tells the soldiers to go and catch more food, Lorraine can finally start to enter the kitchen, these days tired of eating the food of the cooking soldiers, and if he doesn't change his tricks, he will almost cry.

The Lord was going to cook, and of course there were other people who were going to eat with him, not only Major Ye and Jon, but also the officers who knew him.

"Finally able to eat Lorraine's cooking, those stinky boys can't cook at all!"

"Don't eat it, Jon! I didn't have time to cook during the war. ”

"I'll just say that, but ......" Jon glanced at the ale that Major Ye was carrying, and then saw that the others were also carrying non-staple foods, so he could only touch his nose and contribute to the treasured wine with a painful face.

Speaking of the magic version of modern Western times, although the food that soldiers can eat is three meals a day, one meal at nine o'clock in the morning, one meal at thirteen o'clock at noon and one meal at nineteen o'clock in the evening, and the soldiers will not start working until the camp is over, which can literally make everyone hungry.

What they can do is very simple, throw any raw material into the pot and boil it, maybe bake bread if they have time, and each soldier has a big bowl of soup with fist-sized multigrain bread, and that's their food.

Of course, you don't expect the soup to be good, Lorraine, who worked in the prisoner of war camp, has long appreciated their methods, a little salt is very good, everything is cooked poorly, and the bread is disgusting enough, and wood chips, sand and other waste are added at every turn.

Because of this kind of, Lorraine has beaten the cooks more than once after the expedition, so that they can be less deducted, of course, don't worry about it now.

Lorraine poured cooking oil into a frying pan and heated it, filled a huge wooden bowl with the mixed batter, patted the fillet, dipped it into the batter, and then gently lowered it into the hot oil. Let the fillets cook on each side until they turn a nice golden color, drawing water to everyone's mouth.

Lorraine didn't say anything, continued in a separate pan, added a little oil, and roasted the corn and red peppers for a few minutes until they began to brown, then added the remaining vinegar in the pocket, stirred for a while, and then took it out and put the long-prepared salad dressing in the middle.

A piece of fried fish is placed on top of it, and garnished with corn mixture and cabbage, and a delicious dish that looks like an appetite is presented.

Jon's throat kept stirring, his eyes stared directly at the plate in Lorraine's hand, his hands trembled slightly, and he couldn't rush over to eat a good meal, Lorraine slowly set the plate, "Often, Lorraine's special New World delicious fish steak." ”

Jon picked up his plate and took a deep breath, his palate, which had long been exhausted by the cooks, regained his senses of taste, reveled in the embrace of the food, and in the blink of an eye, he swallowed a heavy fish steak into his stomach, and looked at Lorraine with dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry, you've got a lot of fatty fish, and we're going to eat them today." Hearing this, the others nodded with satisfaction, this kind of fish in the New World is very magical and does not have many spines, except for one main spine, it can be swallowed in one bite, and the chef's cooking is even more pleasant.

Seeing that they were happily eating, Lorraine scooped up a bowl of potato soup from the pot on the other side, which was very delicious and could be eaten as a staple food. Jon poured half a bowl and contentedly continued to deal with another fish steak.

"Sir, with your skill, you can make a fortune without fighting. I don't know where you learned your cooking skills, it's amazing. ”

"If you praise me like that, I'll be proud." In fact, it is very happy to hear praise, but it is not so simple to be a rich man quietly in this era, and the war years have bred countless opportunities, and even Lorraine wants to see if he can get some, for example...... Prince?

"Ye, don't talk nonsense, Colonel Lorraine is the boyfriend of His Royal Highness Josephine, maybe he will become a prince one day, you know."

Everyone nodded, and everything was in plain sight, now let's eat happily. (To be continued.) )
