Chapter 13 The Completion of Melon Sauce
The night passed, and as soon as it was dawn, Wu Yun was woken up by the shouting from downstairs. He vaguely heard someone shouting his name, Wu Yun hurriedly got dressed, quickly jumped off the platform, and put on his shoes. It seems that his previous life has really achieved a lot of success in cultivating this wake-up process. In an instant he ran to the railing above the ladder. He leaned onto the railing and looked down. I saw that the fat man was looking up at the top. Next to him was Xiao Lei, who had a depressed face. He did not dare to delay. Hurriedly climbed down the suspension ladder.
The fat man has always been curious about Wu Yun's strange behavior. He really wanted to know what Wu Yun's pot of melon pieces was used for, he didn't believe that Wu Yun was using white sugar for the purpose of deliberately wasting it, which was why he didn't want Xiao Lei to continue talking yesterday.
So, he didn't sleep well all night, and woke up before dawn, and Xiao Lei's tent was next door to him. He didn't know why he walked in. Pulled the sleepy-eyed little thunder up.
Wu Yun saw the fat man's expectant expression and understood his intention. So he just nodded to the two of them and walked straight to the little one.
As soon as I arrived in the hall, I saw Cassan carefully walking in with a bucket of water. I was a little surprised to see a few people.
"Why are you here, didn't you say you would go out at noon?" Kashan asked, surprised.
"You just came, come with us." The fat man said as he took the bucket from Kasan's hand. Kasan wiped her hands and followed.
Several people came to the small kitchen suite, and Wu Yun squatted down. I brought the basin up from under the table steadily. Gently placed on the countertop, several people came over.
I saw small pieces of honeydew melons piled up into a small mountain bag. After they had been marinated in sugar overnight, the yellow melon juice that oozes out flooded the bottom of the basin.
"Nothing strange." Xiao Lei was a little disdainful, "It's just some juice." ”
Kashan didn't speak, just looked at the fat man with questioning eyes, and the latter looked at Wu Yun with the same expression.
"It's not bad, it's okay." Wu Yun was a little happy. It seems like there are no surprises. He was a little worried about the melons here just now, and it seems that there is no problem in the next step.
Originally, to make jam, you need maltose, lemon juice, a bunch of accessories, and something to increase the viscosity - such as gelatin slices, QQ candy or something. But it's completely impossible to get it now. I had to give up. Wu Yun thought about it. It's like just sugar on hand. You can only take one step at a time.
"Kassan, where did you cook the pot before?" Wu Yun will never forget the food here. Kashan walked into the innermost suite where she had chopped vegetables before, and in a short time she carried a golden round pot that Wu Yun didn't recognize. The reason why it is described like this is because Wu Yun is very sure that the original intention of this thing was never to be used as kitchenware. But he really couldn't think of what it was used for.
Wu Yun hesitated slightly, took the pot and cleaned it with water. Then carefully pour the things into the pot.
"Where's the stove?" Wu Yun can only ask one step at a time. Kasan was impatient, and she reached out and pressed the countertop, and a fire erupted on the countertop. Wu Yun was a little surprised. His basin had been placed under the table before, and he didn't realize that it actually had the function of a stove. That's when he saw a red square button in the corner of the table. It is still very conspicuous on the gray countertop. It's just that I didn't pay attention to it before.
"Can you make it bigger?" Wu Yun looked at the flames a little small. Kasan pressed and held the button tightly. The flames lit up.
It's pretty simple. He thought to himself.
"Kassan, do you still have baobabs?" Wu Yun placed the pot firmly on the fire. After receiving an affirmative answer. He turned and walked out. The three of them had to stand there idle.
"What the hell is he doing?" The fat man asked, looking at Kassan.
"I don't know, I've never seen anything like this." Kasan replied, "Uncle Kanu has never done that either. ”
"It's just a honeydew melon, just eat it." Xiao Lei was still a little unhappy with Wu Yun's unauthorized use of a large amount of sugar. "What a lot of effort to come out. I don't know if it's worth it. ”
Wu Yun really didn't want to use a machete as a stirring tool anymore. He didn't want to be helped with everything. So he came and found a tree at the back of the house, which was not too tall. Pick a branch of the right thickness and skim it vigorously. An ideal tool is in hand. He immediately went back to the kitchen. The stuff of the pot has just come to a boil.
He took the branch and cut off the branch with a machete. Then I washed it with water a few times, and the expressions of several people became more and more weird.
Wu Yun didn't ask Kashan this time, he pressed his hand under the red button. The flame was much smaller, and since he was very skeptical of the pot, he asked Kasan about the lid instead of the lid. A bright silver metal plate that Kasan brought confirmed his judgment again.
"Okay, now it's time to get through slowly, I'll be here alone. You can come at lunchtime. Wu Yun turned his head and instructed the three of them.
The three of them looked at each other without speaking, and walked out of the kitchen in turn. Here Soru has just come out of it.
"Didn't you go hunting?" Soru asked.
Before Kasan could reply, the fat man poured beans and told him what had happened. Soru was slightly surprised.
"Grandpa, do you know what he's doing?" Kasan asked Soru with a wink.
"I don't know." Soru thought for a moment. "Kanu should have seen a lot about food."
"I'll ask~" As soon as Solu's voice fell, Xiao Lei immediately ran out, such an interesting thing must be gossiped by himself. How can you give it to others?
Thanks to Lei Lei's active activities, everyone in the bar knew that the boy from outside was making a strange food from the village chief's house with ghost melons and tree branches, and everyone including Kanu was completely unaware of this action. Ghost melon? There are a lot of things outside the village.,The reproduction speed is very fast.,Although it's not a powerful monster.,But it's also troublesome to clean up when there's more.,And it can't be used as any staple food.。 People generally avoid seeing it. Not to mention who uses this thing to cook. As for the branches, no one discussed it.
Little Ray ran back and didn't bring anything useful with him. Except for Kanu's words - whatever you do, show it to him.
The fat man who couldn't hold back wanted to break in and see Wu Yun's progress. But was stopped by Soru. A few people had to sit around the table, anxiously waiting for noon to come.
Due to the absence of a lot of things. Therefore, the boiling process should not be sloppy. Wu Yun was boiling over low heat, and he watched the pieces of melon meat in the pot slowly crumble. Until it boils. The twigs in his hands kept stirring. Until the water in the pot is slowly boiling. He raised his hand and licked the tip of the branch. Since the melon itself is ripe, it has a high sugar content. It seemed that he didn't need to use the little sugar he already had. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the news.
I don't know how long it took, but the water in the pot was almost boiled. At first glance, it looked like a little sauce. It seems that this is already the limit of what I can do.
Wu Yun thought for a moment. He picked up the pot and walked out of the kitchen, and everyone stood up. The fat man and Xiao Lei ran directly in front of him, staring at the finished product in the pot with wide eyes. The yellow sauce in the pot looks very novel.
"It smells pretty good." Xiao Lei said first. He wanted to reach into the pot. But I found that the pot was hot, so I gave up the idea.
"Why is it so little, I ate it in a few bites." The fat man's focus really met his appetite. "Didn't I give you two melons? That's a big loss, isn't it? ”
Wu Yun shook his head, whenever he made jam, he had to steam off a lot of water. Therefore, one kilogram of fruit will produce a finished product of about 250 grams. But it didn't make much sense to explain to the fat man, so I didn't pay attention to him.
"Kassan, get out all the baobabs." Wu Yun said to the girl.
The girl answered, went inside, and dragged the crate out. Why didn't I have the slightest objection to him? Kasan was a little puzzled.
Wu Yun took out a piece of white pulp, took out the machete he brought out, everything from the side, and then used a branch to clumsily smear the jam inside.
"Kassan, you cut it." He handed the machete to the girl, and he concentrated on the fierce struggle with the branches.
That's it, one cut, one clip. It didn't take long. The little melon sauce in the pot is gone. Wu Yun finally took a baobab and broke it in half. Then use it to wipe the remaining sauce off the bottom of the pan. Ever since the sugar incident, he has made up his mind to be careful not to waste anything.
The reason why he wants to put jam in unbaked baobabs is because of his community experience. One of the iron rules that I learned during the various tasting activities is that freshly baked products are the best. Since he doesn't have a lot of confidence in this sauce, he wants to use this to add points.
He motioned for Kasan to turn on the oven, and the two of them put in the dozen breadfruits they had made. Ready to start roasting.
"He uses so much sugar... It's a lot of effort. Xiao Lei, who had been patient for a long time, gently touched the fat man beside him. "That's what it was all about?" ”
The fat man was also quite disappointed, but saw Solu's cold face. The words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.
"It's done." Wu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down in his chair. After all, he rarely does something so time-consuming and laborious himself. I didn't have time to notice the strange expressions of the crowd.
