Chapter 501: Soy Sauce
Saying this, everyone's interest was raised.
Ye Xi said that it was a good thing, and it must be very delicious.
Pingyao and they instantly cheered up, and Chief Thorn and Chief Ye were even more excited, holding their gurgling stomachs, and followed behind Ye Xi expectantly.
The little tail of the fangs was keenly aware of something, and cheekily followed them.
The sun is blazing.
Ye Xi led them to the mountain.
The grass and trees on the top of the hill were cleared, the blazing sun poured down unobstructed, and only a flat stone house stood on all sides.
A slave girl is dozing off under the eaves.
The ground next to this stone house was covered with large pieces of black wild boar skin, and the wild boar skin was densely covered with many granular things.
They took a closer look at the kiln and found that these were actually moldy soybeans!
Somehow, these soybeans all turned yellow-green, with hyphae on them, and they looked like they had been piling up in the depths of the cellar for more than a month, which was extremely disgusting.
Chief Gongtao frowned, and shouted at the dozing slave girl, "You are in charge of these soybeans, how do you make good soybeans look like this!"
It is not easy to plant, and seeing so many soybeans moldy, the six of them are a little distressed.
The slave girl suddenly woke up from her sleep, and when she saw the person standing in front of her, she quickly stood up in panic, bowed her head and said nothing.
She slept so soundly just now that she didn't hear what Chief Gongtao was saying, and her mind was still dizzy.
Chief Gongtao raised his eyebrows, and before he could say more, Ye Xi hurriedly stopped him: "You blame her wrongly, I deliberately made these soybeans look like this." ”
Everyone looked at Ye Xi suspiciously.
Ye Xi smiled slightly: "The good things that you are invited to taste this time are made from these moldy soybeans." ”
The faces of the six people froze in unison.
Made from these moldy soybeans...... Target......
They heard it right.
Ye Xi led them around these turned soybeans and came to the other side of the stone house.
I saw that there were also things drying here, transparent jars made of ice island stone, neatly arranged, exposed to the scorching sun, containing half a jar of black-brown paste-like things.
It looks very similar to some kind of excrement.
Chief Thorn hesitated, "...... this?"
Ye Xi smiled gently: "After those soybeans are dried, they will be put in these jars, added with water and salt, and then dried, so that they can rot naturally, and the soybeans in these jars have been dried for more than a month." ”
Chief Thorn barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "You, are you asking us to taste the contents of these jars?"
Ye Xi: "Of course not. ”
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
But then Ye Xi immediately said: "These drying times are not long enough, I invite you to taste the liquid that has been dried for three months, and then filtered through the residue with a cloth." ”
Everyone was dizzy when they heard this.
Does that sound even more terrifying! Can you really eat something like this?
Rather than this, they would really rather eat dung directly! At least they won't have diarrhea!
Ye Xi took the people in a trance to the stone house.
There was a lot of space here, with rocks and stoves, firewood and everything neatly stacked aside, and pheasants and cuckoos were sitting beside the stove with their heads down and sewing animal skin clothes.
Seeing them, the two hurriedly stood up and saluted and greeted.
Ye Xi chatted with them for a few words, then picked up a jar made of Bingzhou stone on the stove, shook the black liquid inside, and said with a smile to the Ping kiln and them, "This is what I will invite you to taste later." ”
The faces of the six turned slightly blue.
Sure enough, this kind of moldy soybeans, stuffed in the jar for months and frantically exposed to the sun, is this black color.
They weren't surprised.
It's just that...... Maybe it's not diarrhea after entering the stomach, but crawling to find a doctor.
"Smack!"
Fangs turned his back and covered his face in pain.
Why can't he think about it so much, so he has to be cheeky and come along!!Is the barbecue not delicious or the fruit is not fragrant enough!
But now it's too late to leave, and the fangs can only puff their faces and squeeze out an expectant smile: "It looks like ...... It doesn't seem bad. ”
Ye Xi smiled and handed the soy sauce to the pheasant, and said to her, "I'm sorry for you, make nine portions." ”
The pheasant and the cuckoo looked at the Gongtao chieftain and their faces, pursed their lips and smiled, said nothing, and walked to the stove to get busy.
Ye Xi took the six of them to another room and found a place to sit down.
Thinking of the bottle of black stuff, his brows twisted into a big pimple, and he thought to himself, no matter how unpalatable the things we're waiting for, I have to grit my teeth and eat it, and I can't spit it out!
Pingyao, who was sitting next to him, drooped his head.
In order to rush back as soon as possible, they slept in the open along the way, eating raw meat, and originally thought that after returning to Xicheng, they would open their stomachs and eat a good meal, like mushroom stewed broth or something to comfort themselves, but they didn't expect it......
Thinking about those moldy soybeans and rotten soybeans, and thinking of what happened to him in the Jiugong tribe, it was really sad, his nose was sore, and tears almost fell......
Why is she so miserable!
Outcome.
Five minutes later.
......
"It's so delicious, it's delicious!!"
"Wow, how can there be such a delicious thing!"
"It's the most delicious food I've ever tasted!" This thing called soy sauce fried rice has replaced the mushroom stew broth in my heart!"
Each of the six people held a plate of soy sauce fried rice in their hands, and pulled it into their mouths frantically with a spoon, showing happy expressions while eating.
Occasionally, he looked up and shouted indistinctly with food in his mouth.
"It's delicious!!"
Ye Xi looked at them with a kind face, as if he was looking at his six children who couldn't eat enough.
"Eat slowly, don't choke......"
The practical ingredients of this pot of soy sauce fried rice are not complicated, just add lard, eggs, diced meat and young lettuce leaves, these ingredients are very ordinary, and the most important thing is that it has the umami taste of soy sauce in it.
It's not that they're exaggerating.
In this barbaric era when food is scarce, these fried rice with soy sauce are definitely delicious.
Only pheasants and biting cuckoos are slightly better, eating slowly spoonful, they have eaten several times before, so they are not as stuffy as they are.
While eating, he snickered at the appearance of the six people.
In the end, the six of them finished all their fried rice, licking their lips and still unsatisfied, looking at the pheasant and the cuckoo.
The pheasant and the cuckoo put down their fried rice, took the empty basin in their hands, which was as huge as the washbasin, and went to work on the stove.
After a while, I returned here with six pots full of soy sauce fried rice.
The six of them quickly bare the pots again, until after eating the three large pots of fried rice, these big stomach kings are finally full.
Tooth sighed contentedly, rubbed his belly, and slumped back in his chair and narrowed his eyes comfortably, congratulating on his wisdom.
Such a delicious thing, even if you pull your stomach five times today...... No, it's ten stomachs, it's all worth it!!
The three people of Pingyao, who were originally in a low mood, now have the comfort of food, the haze in their eyes has also dissipated, and the corners of their mouths show the smile they often showed in the past.
Ye Xi put the rice bowl aside and said, "Now can you tell me what grievances you have suffered in Jiugong, right?"
Ping Yao waved his hand, looking indifferent,
"It's not a grievance, it's just that he refuses to come back with us, and would rather be a slave there. Also, I know thoroughly what our Gongtao tribe is in the eyes of Jiugong. ”
Ye Xi was silent for a moment after hearing this.
Pingyao has always been respectful, but now he calls him by his name.
A self-deprecating smile appeared on the face of the Gongtao chief: "It turns out that the ancestors of our Gongtao tribe are a group of people who have been expelled from the Jiugong tribe. ”
"I heard that he was a warrior of Taota, and because he offended the witch disciples, he was driven out of the tribe along with his companions and relatives, and ordered never to return. ”
As for why their ancestors of Gongtao offended the high-ranking witch disciples, whether they had suffered any grievances, they did not know.
It's so old that everything has been lost to dust.
