Chapter 52: The Dinner
"I'm back!" Linlin put a jar on the table, "Did you steal food while I wasn't there?"
"If you don't come back, we'll eat all the delicious food!" the women laughed.
Linlin echoed the smile and lifted the lid of the jar and poured some sticky syrup from it. At first, Gangu Yu thought it was sugar such as honey, but when he looked closely at the exclamations of the women, he found that it was actually maltose.
"Linlin, you are finally willing to take out this treasure!" Xiao An exclaimed.
"Hehe, it's rare to have a big meal, of course I have to take out the stuff at the bottom of the box to help the fun. Linlin smirked.
Gangu Yu understood after a little thought. When making maltose, sweet potatoes, glutinous rice or corn are generally used to assist fermentation, but there seems to be no corn on the salty continent, sweet potatoes are also new products he has only recently introduced, and grains such as glutinous rice are rare, which leads to the relatively high cost of maltose. Coupled with the fact that wheat is not very abundant on the salty continent, there are few opportunities to make sugar, and the yield is very low, so it is no wonder that Linlin regards it as a treasure.
The women scrambled to eat the maltose with the oil residue, but they deliberately praised the oil residue fried by Gangu Yu, and did not say a word about Linlin's maltose. Linlin smiled: "Hey, you guys are too much!"
"Woo, who told you to be so stingy ......" A woman said everyone's thoughts, and the girls covered their mouths and chuckled.
"Heheda, a bunch of guys who get cheap and sell well. Linlin glared at the women, and was not far behind to join the army of grabbing the oil residue, "Eh, I said you should leave some for me!"
"Don't rob it, these are left for Pei Pei and Xiao Gu Yu. Xiao An half-jokingly blocked Linlin with her hand, and the two daughters suddenly made a fuss. The girls were already dressed coolly, and now they feasted the eyes of Gangu Yu, who was standing on the sidelines.
At this time, Pei Pei ran in with a stack of diamond bowls and served bone broth to everyone very virtuously. The women took a sip, and immediately praised it, and asked Gangu Yu the trick of boiling soup.
And Pei Pei, who had a mouthful of soup, suddenly snorted twice with a bitter face, and snorted several times at the bottom of the table. The women were shocked, what happened to Pei Pei, even if this pork bone soup didn't suit her appetite, there was no need to behave so rudely, right?
After Gan Guyu was slightly stunned, he was the first to think of the reason, but he didn't say it, but said with a smile: "It's worthy of Peipei, your name is based on your voice, right? Phew, Phew!"
When the women heard this, they covered their mouths and snickered.
"You!" Pei Pei was angry, his head lifted from under the table, and he glared at Gangu Yu, "You are cheating me again! You put that little numb fruit in my soup bowl!"
"I told you that it's called peppercorns. Gangu Yu spread his hands, looking innocent, "You have to speak with your conscience, you took the bowl yourself, and you also served the soup yourself, why did you wronged me in the end?"
Pei Pei was speechless, and Gan Guyu hurriedly instructed the women: "Remember to pick out the peppercorns when you drink the soup, it is just a condiment, and the taste of direct entrance is not very pleasant." ”
"Is this it?" Xiao An picked up two peppercorns and lifted them.
"That's it. Gan Guyu nodded, "Don't look at just a few, the whole pot of soup will be more fragrant and hemp-like, and it will be able to slightly cover up some fishy smell." ”
"I remember!" Lin Lin suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't this just the little fruit that grows on the wall of the plant?"
After such a reminder, the women also recalled it one after another. It turns out that this is the reason why the soup is more delicious!
Gangu Yu smiled and nodded: "The pepper tree can be used as a protective thorn hedge, and it can also produce spices like peppercorns. You eat first, and a few more dishes will be served immediately. ”
With that, he turned and walked to the backyard kitchen. The women said to him for their hard work, and then they fought for the meat and bones in the soup pot, without the slightest reserve that a beautiful woman should have. When Gangu Yu returned to the stove, the sweet potatoes were not yet fully cooked, so he used another stove to make a barbecue of azure finches and meat skewers. This time, he first passed the azure finch and the meat skewers in a frying pan, and then flipped and grilled them on the fire, which would make the aroma more intense and not easy to burn.
Although the condiments are only a little salt, the Azure Sparrow and the Black-toothed Pig are both monsters, the meat is delicious, and the taste of the roast is not bad at all, which makes Gangu Yu look forward to the advent of various seasonings, and the taste of the dishes will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.
Soon, the azure finch and black-toothed pork skewers, which were grilled with golden butter on the surface, were served on the table, and the natural aroma of meat made all the women swallow in unison. At the same time, Gangu Yu also brought out the boiled sweet potatoes together: "If you only eat meat, I'm afraid you will get tired, and you can eat some sweet potatoes later." ”
"It's very thoughtful!" Pei Pei, who was holding a stick and gnawing on a mouthful of oil, finally took the time to praise it, and then continued to bury his head in a wild gnaw.
Although sweet potatoes have been slowly popularized in the natural forest, but the actual harvest is not much, and today's sweet potato vines have been ruined a lot by black-toothed pigs, and the future will be a vacuum period for sweet potato harvest, so this simple and sweet crop is still a precious delicacy that everyone misses. When the women saw this boiled sweet potato, which was obviously enough, they couldn't help but cheer.
Then it was the last dish to cook, and Gangu Yu returned to the kitchen again with great ambition. The lard melted in the pan, and Gangu Yu sprinkled a pinch of peppercorns into it again and fried it. Subsequently, the black-toothed pork, which had already been salted and flavored, was poured into the pan and stir-fried. The thermal conductivity of diamond is much stronger than that of iron, and at first Gangu Yu didn't grasp it well, and almost gave it to the frying pan, but fortunately it was quickly adjusted.
The rich aroma of meat gradually came out, and Gangu Yu added water to the pot, covered the pot and began to simmer. After a while, he took a look at the situation in the pot and poured the chopped bamboo shoots into the pot. Even if it is a fresh bamboo shoot roast pork with only salt and Sichuan peppercorns, its aroma is constantly overflowing from the pot.
After the heat was cleared, Gangu Yu picked up a piece of black-toothed pork to taste. To be honest, in Ganguyu's opinion, if you want to say that it is delicious, it can only be attributed to the high quality of the raw materials, plus he himself is a little panicked because of his long-term vegetarian diet. However, he can still make this taste under such harsh cooking conditions, and Gangu Yu is quite satisfied. After adding some salt at the end, he took the fresh bamboo shoots and roasted pork into the pot and brought it into the living room.
Seeing that the main dish was served on the table, the women stretched out their chopsticks to the fresh bamboo shoots and roasted meat without saying a word. Everyone stuffed the pieces of meat into their mouths and chewed them slowly, and there was no sound for a while. Gangu Yu closed the door and sat down, looking at the women with some apprehension, waiting for their evaluation, but he didn't expect everyone to ignore him at all, but once again put his chopsticks into the diamond bowl containing fresh bamboo shoots and roast pork, for fear of being a beat slower than the other sisters.
Seeing this scene, Gangu Yu finally smiled with relief. And what made him even happier was that the happiness index on the universal creature console also began to increase! But his smile quickly froze on his face, because at this moment, the door of the bamboo house was slammed open.
"Ha! I said that Linlin's girl sneakily came here to do something, and the result was stealing and eating black-toothed pork, which is really hilarious!
