Chapter 399: Trick-or-treating!
It's just that it's not interesting for us to eat alone. Bernie handed the cup in his hand to Bout's mouth, "Bout, you taste." β
"Okay." Bout took a sip, "It tastes good." β
Zhong Xuyao stretched his waist, "I'm going to eat barbecue and go." β
The barbecue here doesn't taste as good as the professionals, but with honey, it tastes very good.
"I want tofu, sausages, meat, rice cakes, potatoes, cabbage......" Bernie's hand quickly picks out his favorite food.
Zhong Xuyao directly picked up two strings of rice cakes and tofu and put them in the oil pot.
This rice cake took a lot of her energy, and in order to eat the rice cake, she contributed the glutinous rice in her warehouse.
The glutinous rice is crushed into rice flour, steamed, and then beaten in a large stone mortar to create toughness. Finally, it is compacted in a mold.
In particular, the process of striking is very laborious, and the final compaction is also caused by the orcs finding boulders and pressing them on the mold. This is the only way to compact the rice that is beaten like dough. If you don't have enough strength, the rice cake will become soft and chewy.
In the past, the rice cakes in my hometown were pressed by a machine, and they were pressed several times repeatedly, and the cylindrical rice cakes would not be broken until they were picked up. Now, she doesn't have a machine either, so she can only use this primitive method.
For the rest, Zhong Xuyao did not let them press adult cakes, but made them into round glutinous cakes, but unfortunately she didn't have sesame seeds yet, so she could only put red dates and other sweet things on the bread.
Naturally, they were not polite, and fried the skewers of meat in the oil.
"Xiaoxiao, this is delicious." Bernie handed over a skewer.
Zhong Xuyao took it unceremoniously and took a bite: "Not bad." β
"Xiaoxiao, there's bamboo rice there, let's go get it." Bernie
"Our team can just take one, we can't eat anything else." Zhong Xuyao reminded.
These bamboo tubes are arm thick, and the rice is squeezed solidly, and if you really eat all of them, it is estimated that you can't eat anything else.
"Good class." Bernie walked briskly to the next stall and brought over a bamboo tube.
Zhong Xuyao took out a small bowl and distributed some for everyone.
Bernie's mouth was already bulging, "This bacon is delicious." β
"Hmm. You slow down. "Bout
Zhong Xuyao picked up the barbecue he had just made and took a bite of the rice cake, "I haven't eaten it for a long time." β
"Xiaoxiao, do you like to eat rice cakes?" Bernie
"It's a must-have for our New Year." Zhong Xuyao's eyes were bent into crescent moons, standing on the food street, Zhong Xuyao couldn't help but feel like he was back in the original world.
Millie was a little curious, "How long can the rice cakes last?" β
"More than half a month is no problem." Zhong Xuyao
She still remembers that in the past, rice cakes could be stored for about a month, and from the previous year to the new year, the longer the time, it would produce a sour water smell, which was particularly unpalatable.
Bernie's eyes widened, "We'll do more of it after winter." β
"We can do more in the fall and put it in the storage space so we don't have to worry about it breaking." Zhong Xuyao said with a smile.
In winter, you can pass the time by making delicious food, but it will be very cold in winter, and I am afraid that I just want to sleep hard.
"Uh-huh." Bernie nodded vigorously, although there are not many things in the storage bracelet now, but in the future, when Zhong Xuyao's runes are proficient, he can expand a lot when he pats the spirit runes. I don't have to worry about not having anything to eat in winter. However, after eating bacon, she is now very fond of bacon and does not plan to give it up. When I have time in the future, I plan to do more.
Zhong Xuyao rolled his eyes, "Vernal, is the food prepared this time enough?" β
"That's enough, now, there are still some orcs making new food, don't worry about not having enough food." Vernal
"Did all the people from the Prison Law Tribe surrender last time?" Zhong Xuyao
"And there are still some who don't want to." Vernal
"It's a rare opportunity, I think, let's share some of them this time. Let Yang send it to them. "Zhong Xuyao
Vernal smiled, "Okay." β
"Xiaoxiao, are you going to tempt them with food again?" Bernie asked curiously.
"Sort of, as for how much, it depends on luck." Zhong Xuyao
Most of the orcs who have not agreed until now are stubborn, and it is unlikely that they will be able to make them obey with a celebration.
More importantly, it is important for them to understand that they will not be discriminated against or mistreated if they stay in the tribe, so that they will be willing to sign a contract.
However, if they keep persevering, I'm afraid Barron won't put up with it anymore. Until now, the reason why Barron has not solved them is because the tribe is now short of people. Whether it's going out hunting, or building a city wall outside, you need manpower. These few thousand people of the tribe alone are simply not enough.
"They're too, what's wrong with our tribe. Eat enough, and there are healing charms to save your life. It's much better than them wandering outside. "Bernie
"Everyone has their own integrity, and it's normal that they don't want to send people under the fence." Zhong Xuyao said with a smile.
It's just that the weight of integrity in everyone's heart is different, and some people value it more than life. Some people can step on it to the soles of their feet themselves.
"I don't understand." Bernie shook his head, "Leave them alone." Let's eat. β
Millie probed, "Look, Nikita and Zevier. β
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing, and they saw Nikita, Zevier, Yang, Fei, and the four of them strolling in front. Each person has a few skewers of food in their hands.
"Their relationship is so good so soon?" Zhong Xuyao was a little surprised. You know, Zeweier looked at Xu's expression before, as if he wanted to pounce on it and take a bite.
"It's not good. Zevier has been making trouble. Millie spoke up.
βοΌβ Zhong Xuyao raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to ask, he saw Zeweier snatch the barbecue that Xu gave Nikita and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Flutter." Bernie couldn't help but chuckle, "He's too naΓ―ve. β
The others laughed too.
Finally, after Zevier snatched three meat skewers, Yang made a move. At the moment when Zevier made his move, he placed a bunch of chili peppers in Zevier's palm.
Zevier grimaced and stared at the pepper skewers in his hands. He'd eaten this chili pepper before, and every time it was so spicy that he shed tears.
"What? Don't dare to eat this? Yang clasped his hands to his chest with a provocative expression.
"Hmph, who said I didn't dare to eat it." Zevier swallowed a chili pepper in one gulp, but the spicy taste in his mouth still made him blush. He felt like fire was about to erupt from his mouth.
"Zevier? How are you? Nikita said with some concern.
The chili pepper tastes good, but if you eat it directly, it is not something that everyone can bear. Zhong Xuyao once specially explained to them that if they can't eat spicy, don't force it, and you can't eat more.
"Ah~la~" Zeweier opened his mouth slightly, wanting to dissipate the heat in his mouth, but unfortunately, it had no effect at all.
