Chapter 69: Smoked Salmon and Mutual Trust

As Anduin said, because of the old Kane's approval, Red's delivery work has a meaning beyond filling his stomach, especially when he and Jones helped Masif quickly finish a street, and also assisted the other nine delivery workers to complete the delivery task, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Red is in a very good mood, especially when he gets a scarf from the townspeople, the smile on his face is even more satisfying than eating breakfast.

For the sake of more work and bad weather, Anduin did not skimp on breakfast supply, and delivered enough breakfast and warm milk to all the delivery staff, of course, Red's meal alone exceeded that of Mazef and others, which also made Anduin can't help but ask about the current revenue of the Hearthstone Hotel.

[Hint: Thanks to the host's hard work and extensive publicity, the current turnover of the Hearthstone Inn is minus two hundred and fourteen crystals.] 】

"Hmm...... It's a lot faster than expected, and at this rate, it can be completed in a maximum of seven days. ”

[It is worth mentioning that the Dalaran red wine purchased by the old lord at the market price contributed to the income of about fifty crystals. 】

"Tsk, it looks like I've found a way to get rich quick."

[In fact, the existing customers of the Hearthstone Inn are only the old lord who has the ability and willingness to buy high-priced wines. 】

Anduin nodded slightly, remembering the pan-fried steak at noon, and smiled lightly: "It seems that I have to prepare well, otherwise I won't be able to sell the wine properly!" ”

At this moment, Red, who had eaten a mouthful of oil, came over, finished breakfast, and was still running around for lunch, and opened his mouth to ask, "Anduin, what am I going to do next?" ”

"Before I assign a task, please correct your title, after all, you are now my employee."

Anduin...... Boss. ”

Looking at Red's difficult look, Anduin shrugged, the boss is the boss, at least there is progress, isn't it? Then he casually pointed to a bag of sawdust next to him, and asked Red to move it to the loess iron furnace outside the gate, and Jones followed him, and asked curiously, "Do you need an oven for pan-fried steak?" ”

"Of course not." Anduin poured some of the sawdust into the lower layer of the oven, "But I can't just make one main course, can I?" According to President Van Cleef, the Silver Hotel provides a starter, soup, main course, and dessert, and the old gentleman has ordered the fried steak anyway, so the other three courses should also learn from others. ”

"Yo roar, it sounds a bit of a competition! I like it, give me a copy too! ”

Anduin glanced at Jones, "Wait ten days." ”

"Huh?" Jones' mouth opened wide, "Why?" ”

"The ingredients for the pan-fried steak I want to make are more particular, it needs to be dried for at least seven days, and the inventory left by the Winter Curtain Festival banquet is only selected from the top part and put it in the constant temperature room, which is not much, and some is consumed during the period, and the air-drying time of those stocks is not enough, if it is not for the urgency of the old lord, even he will have to wait for a few more days."

Jones couldn't help but be amazed, and Red on the side was surprised, in his understanding, food is always freshly baked and eaten, where is there such a trouble? But when he thinks of the home-cooked food and the wonderful taste of breakfast, he decides that the sautéed steak is worth the wait, just like the freshly opened Dalaran red wine.

After finishing the wood chips, Anduin took out a special grill from the badge space, suspended it inside the oven, and then ignited the wood chips with a flame of holy light, and the green smoke rose and escaped through the opening in the top of the oven.

Jones and Red didn't dare to disturb, and quietly watched Anduin adjust the wood chip burning, control the size of the opening, and wait until the system feedback that the temperature in the oven reached the standard, and then took the processed salmon out of the badge space, put it on the grill, and smoked the fish with sawdust green.

At this time, the old man, who saw the movement outside the door, came over with Van Cleef, and after asking, he learned that Anduin was preparing to make appetizing appetizers, smoked salmon, how many years the old lord had been crisscrossing the food altar, and he also had some knowledge, and immediately asked: "Why is the temperature of the oven so low?" Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be smoked at high temperatures? ”

"Old man, the normal situation you are talking about is just a simple and crude way of processing, with this method, the fish can indeed be cooked quickly, but it also destroys the unique meat taste of salmon, and at the same time will cause the loss of nutritional value." Anduin smiled, "You are old and can't eat for the sake of eating, so I chose a low-temperature and long-term smoking method, so that these good smoky aromas can slowly penetrate into the fish, maintain the elasticity of the meat, and maintain the nutritional value of the salmon." ”

"There is still such a doorway!"

The old gentleman looked surprised, he hadn't spent much time in the Hearthstone Inn, but he had learned a lot, Jones looked at Van Cleef with the same expression, and couldn't help laughing: "You two don't know that the pomp and circumstance of Earl Anduin making whole roasted lamb is much more than now, and it makes all of us stunned." ”

Hearing this, the old lord and Van Cleef couldn't help but wonder, although the two had never seen the true face of the roasted whole sheep, but just by the colorful descriptions of everyone, they could imagine what a novel scene it was.

Red, who was standing next to him, asked with some confusion: "Boss Anduin, my work is over?" ”

"Of course not, this is just the beginning, from now on, you have to follow my example, control the temperature inside the iron furnace, don't tell me that with your strength, you can't do this."

Red stood on tiptoe, saw the tender fish through the opening at the top, nodded again and again, Anduin moved out of the way, and said seriously: "Low-temperature smoking takes a long time, you need patience, if you mess up, you know the consequences." ”

Sensing the gaze of the old lord and others, Red did not dare to slack off, and immediately squatted by the iron stove, playing with the flame with one hand and protecting the scarf with the other, everyone could see that he attached great importance to this scarf, and couldn't help but smile at each other, Van Cleef immediately took out a coat and draped it on Red's body, and then before he was ready to say something, he walked into the wind and snow with Jones to plan and design for the explorer branch, and Anduin also walked into the door of the inn with the old man to prepare other meals.

Suddenly, he was the only one left, and a strange feeling appeared in Red's heart, he looked around blankly, and did not find half of the stalk, and couldn't help but think: "Aren't they afraid that I will run away?" ”

As soon as this thought appeared, he began to think wildly, he was obviously the son of the chieftain and the first commander of the wolf cavalry, why did he have to accept his fate to work for a human? If this matter is reported back to the tribe, how else can he command the wolf cavalry? How to govern the Blackstone Tribe?

But for some reason, no matter how messy his mind was, Red had no intention of moving, staring blankly at the smoke of sawdust, and fiddling with it from time to time.

"Red! Do you willingly choose to fall/fall because of a little favor? Didn't you swear to make the Blackstone tribe the leader of the orc race, and then destroy the Holy Empire and seize the richest land in Eurasia? Why is it that just a small storm town next to the Silver Fortress is holding you back? ”

A stern voice questioned in his heart, and Red's eyes changed, just a day ago, he was a staunch Blackstone warrior, but now he is a human servant. The drastic change of the two identities made him stop playing with the flames, but when the temperature in the furnace changed, he still couldn't help but continue to operate.

The voice sounded again, and his words were full of disappointment: "Red, you have changed, you have lost the glory of orcs, and you have degenerated/degenerated into a human follower, so what qualifications do you have to compete with Maim?" You are destined to be a loser, a total loser. ”

"No!"

Red said in a deep voice: "I'm not a sidekick, I'm just a hired hand, Boss Anduin gave me this errand and didn't monitor it, which shows that he trusts me, as a Blackstone warrior, I have to be worthy of this trust, otherwise it will be a shame for the tribe!" Besides, what if I run away now? Mistress Orgrim will only be more disappointed, and my father ......"

Speaking of this, Red's voice disappeared, thinking of his father's roar, his eyes glowed with fierce fighting spirit, he wanted to reflect on his mistakes during this time, and when he returned to the tribe, he must not be easily looked down upon!

[Huh? Red's favorability has risen a little bit, and he is only a little bit away from the tipping point for card generation. 】

"Trust is mutual, I give him trust and he gives me back the trust."

Anduin handed over the cleaned seafood to Gourmet No. 1, and said with a slight smile: "Listening to Van Cleeff say that the seafood soup in the Silver Hotel has a slightly conflicting taste of the ingredients, I think I already know what the problem is." ”
