Chapter Forty-Six: Delicious Dumplings!

Woad took the sugar cane, followed Xia Ye's example, bit the skin with his teeth, and then tore it downward, revealing the cane flesh, and then gnawed it.

Crunch!

As you chew, a refreshing juice floods the taste buds.

"Delicious!"

Woad's eyes lit up.

"Uh, just chew a few bites, you can't eat the scum!"

Seeing little Lori swallowing bagasse, Xia Ye hurriedly reminded.

"Hmm!"

She took another bite of the fruit, and she felt that it was more exciting to eat this!

"Eat dumplings at night!"

Xia Ye plucked a handful of spring onions from the vegetable furrow, and the jungle journey of nearly half a month made his mouth fade out of the bird, and he must make up for it.

Woong Guo followed Xia Ye, went to the bamboo forest to dig a few spring bamboo shoots, walked around the forest for half a circle, harvested some mushrooms at the roots of several large trees, and then returned to the cave kitchen.

"There is no fresh meat, let's replace it with bacon, I guess it's a little salty!"

Xia Ye took out a smoked ham from a large clay pot, cut about two catties, and threw it in, he thought the stone knife was too blunt, so he simply used the tactical axe as a kitchen knife.

Chop the bacon, then go to the mountain stream to wash the spring bamboo shoots and mushrooms, as well as green onions, ginger and garlic, still chop, put them into the pottery plate, and then pick up a pair of bamboo chopsticks and start stirring clockwise.

"Huh?"

Woo Guo saw Xia Ye pick up a small clay pot the size of a fist, scoop a small handful from it with a stone spoon and pour it into the meat filling.

Out of curiosity, the fruit approached and sniffed, and a spicy smell immediately poured into his nostrils.

"Ahh

Woon Guo suddenly sneezed a few times, and tears were about to come out of her eyes.

"Haha, this is peppercorn powder, for seasoning!"

Xia Ye was happy, and when it came to seasoning, he suddenly patted his head: "Why did you forget the soy sauce?"

"Sauce...... Oil?"

Woo Guo scratched his hair, his little face was full of doubts, what the big brother said, many names have never been heard!

Soon, Xia Ye brought a clay pot jar, the mouth of the jar was sealed with yellow mud, he carefully broke it, cleaned it up, and then opened it.

A rich aroma of sauce immediately spreads.

The two heads, one large and one small, immediately came to the mouth of the altar and looked here.

"It's okay, no foam, proof it's not bad!"

Xia Ye scooped out a spoonful, smelled the smell, and took a little more with the tip of his tongue.

Soybeans originated in China and were one of the earliest staple foods, but it was too easy to fart if you ate too much, but there are many by-products of it.

Soy sauce is made from soybeans, the process is very simple, steamed, dried, let it mildew, produce mycelium, and then sifted, add brine water, seal the cellar.

Xia Ye's uncle is a chef, and he dislikes industrial soy sauce to destroy the original taste of ingredients, plus various additives, which is not good for his health, so after having a child, he began to make homemade soy sauce and vinegar condiments.

Under the influence of the ears and eyes, Xia Ye also understands a little, although he can't make top-quality soy sauce, but daily use will make the food full of flavor.

You know, in this era when even salt is saved, there are no condiments.

The impurities had already settled, Xia Ye scooped two spoonfuls and poured them into the meat filling, and as he stirred, the color immediately deepened, and it looked a lot better.

"Would you like to try it?"

Natsuno handed out the wooden spoon.

"Yes!"

Woad took a big sip, and his whole expression froze instantly, and then his mouth opened, his tongue spit out, and the soy sauce mixed with saliva flowed down like a waterfall.

"It's salty!"

She rushed to the mountain stream on her short legs and rinsed her mouth for a while, but soon she forgot that it was unpalatable, and stared at the snow-white flour, dumbfounded.

"What is this?"

Watching Xia Ye add cold water and knead the flour into a ball, the woad felt amazing.

"Wheat flour!"

As a rural child, Xia Ye's housekeeping skills are full value, and after a while, thin dumpling wrappers are rolled out.

"Wow!"

Woad exclaimed.

"Look!"

Use bamboo chopsticks to pick up the meat filling, put it in the middle of the dumpling skin, then fold it in half, pinch the edge with your thumb and index finger, and then place the dumpling in the tiger's mouth with your left hand, supplemented by the right hand with force.

A beautiful dumpling is baked.

"Learn!"

The woad fruit can't wait, but the craftsmanship is miserable, either the meat filling is too much pinched, or there is only a thin skin left.

Xia Ye remembered the situation when he first learned to make dumplings, but unfortunately, things are not people.

Add water to the stone pot, add firewood to the stove, light the fire, and when the dumplings are boiling, push them a few times with a long-handled wooden spoon to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Hiss!

Standing on the edge of the stone pot, looking at the churning dumplings one by one, their stomachs were swollen and round, their saliva was plummeting, and the fragrance of the dumplings came out with the heat, which smoked the gluttonous insects to death.

"Big brother, hurry up!"

The dumplings were served, and the woad was holding chopsticks, but it was sensible and did not clip it.

"Let's eat!"

Xia Ye caught one and put it in the little Lori bowl.

"Ahh

Walnut-sized dumplings, swallowed in one bite, and then jumped up with a hot breath, exhaling quickly, but reluctant to spit it out.

"Beware of burning!"

Xia Ye tasted one, and it was really a little salty.

I don't think that when I bite open the dumplings with my teeth and chew them a few times, the smell of the meat filling immediately permeates my taste buds.

The freshness of mushrooms, the crispiness of spring bamboo shoots, and the aroma of bacon are perfectly blended together under the harmony of several condiments, forming an indescribable taste.

Little Lori was intoxicated, she had never eaten such delicious food.

Ahh

Ahh

Ahh

Xiao Xiangguo's mouth didn't stop, and he ate twenty-three in a row before slowing down, but the chopsticks still moved up and down.

"It's a pity that there is no vinegar!"

Xia Ye smacked his lips, the brewing of vinegar, he would, it was just a little troublesome, and he would talk about it when he had his own tribe in the future, and when he had time.

"Vinegar?"

The ears of the woad fruit moved.

"Eat it with dumplings, it's super delicious!"

Xia Ye remembered a roommate in college, he ate dumplings, and they turned out to be dipped in soy sauce and minced ginger, which is a heretic at all!

"Vinegar, where to find it?"

Little Lori stuffed a dumpling and asked vaguely.

"There is no such thing in this era!"

Xia Ye sighed, tomato sauce, salad dressing, bean paste, sweet noodle sauce, and the most important barbecue sauce, none of them, for a foodie, it is definitely worse than death, fortunately, I can do it myself.

More than 100 dumplings, almost all of them went into the belly of little Lori, after she finished eating, she lay on the bed, her belly bulging like a pregnant woman who was pregnant for eight months.

"Help me up, I can still eat!"

Looking at the remaining dumplings on the plate, Little Lori was unwilling.

"I'll make it for you if you want to eat it in the future, don't eat too much at once, you'll have indigestion!"

Xia Ye brewed a cup of hawthorn water and fed it to Little Lori: "Come, eliminate food!"

"Hee-hee, big brother is so good!"

Little Lori smiled, she hadn't been so happy since she left the tribe.

"You're the first person to eat dumplings in this era!"

Xia Ye teased, because it was safe, the tiredness accumulated over the past few days also began to explode, and after a simple wash, the two of them got into the bed.

In the middle of the night, Xia Ye heard the sobbing sound and found that he was holding his little Lori and had a nightmare, thinking about it, a four- or five-year-old little Lori must have suffered a lot when traveling alone.

A good night's sleep!

Early in the morning, Xia Ye opened his eyes and was about to stretch his waist, when he was suddenly stunned and looked to the side.

Little Lori is gone!

"Gone?"

When he saw the small burden in the corner of the wall and the stone hammer, Xia Ye's frowning brows loosened.

The breeze is coming, and the bamboo forest is rippling.

Xia Ye walked out of the cave and took a deep breath, a breath of moisture rushed into his nose, and he moved his hands and feet while looking for the trace of the little Lori.

"It doesn't mean that you still want to eat dumplings and dig spring bamboo shoots and pick mushrooms, right?"

Xia Ye didn't find the little Lori in the bamboo forest, and when he came out, he saw a 'young bear' squatting between the ridges of the field in the vegetable furrow planted with strawberries, slowly squirming forward.

"Huh?"

Xia Ye was puzzled, so he quietly walked over.

"Look where you're going!"

Wearing a small black bear skin, Xiao Xiangguo squatted on the ground, carefully brushed off the strawberry leaves, pinched off the green worms on it, and threw it into a small bamboo tube.

Behind her, piles of uprooted weeds.

The morning sun gradually rose, and the warm sunlight sprinkled down, dyeing the small woad fruit with a layer of gold.

A smile overflowed at the corner of Xia Ye's mouth, looking at the little figure, his chest was full of doting and joy.

This is a sensible little girl, she knows that she can't eat and drink for nothing, so she came to the vegetable furrow early in the morning to pull weeds and insects.

"Stop catching, have breakfast!"

Natsuno spoke.

"Big brother?"

Xiao Xiangguo turned her head and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, and she still held a handful of grass in her hand.

"The bugs have been caught, these strawberries must be more delicious!"

Xia Ye praised that the temperature was low in early spring, the morning dew was very thick, and the bear skin had been wet, and the animal skin boots and trouser hems that were about to wear out were already soaked.

"Hee-hee!"

Xiao Woad is embarrassed.

"Let's go, eat bird's eggs and finger cakes for breakfast, and add ham meat!"

Xia Ye squatted down and wiped the dirt from Xiao Xiangguo's face.

"Oh yes!"

Woad cheered: "I want to eat ten!"

"No problem!"

Natsuno doesn't plan to go home today because he has to make some preparations.

Although the strawberries are not yet harvested, they can't wait, the blood survival trial is about to begin, and when they come back next time, they will not be harmed by voles, but will rot in the ground.

"Strawberry preserves?

Woad asked while carrying a basket and picking strawberries.

"A snack that's even better than sugar gourds!"

With brown sugar, you can naturally make a lot of sweets, and all kinds of candied fruit can definitely make those women's greedy tongues swallow in their stomachs.

However, I don't sell it myself!

"Huh?"

The saliva of the woad fruit immediately gushed out, the sugar gourd was the most delicious snack she had ever eaten, and the strawberry compote was actually better than it?

With food, there is motivation, Xiao Wo Guo in the skin of a little black bear works very quickly, and does not shout tired at all, so Xia Ye persuaded several times, child labor is not so squeezed.

"Take a break, won't you?"

Xia Ye was distressed.

"No!"

Xiao Woad wants to eat candied fruit as soon as possible.

Seeing that little Lori was thirsty and drinking water, Xia Ye suddenly thought that there was another snack that could be made, and strawberries were the raw materials!
