Chapter 42: Cooking
"You are responsible for finding materials, and I will do the work of building the stove."
Han Shuang was powerless to explain, even if they explained to them something they didn't know at all, they wouldn't understand.
No amount of talk is better than letting them see it with their own eyes.
"I need a lot of square stones, and I need very fine yellow clay to build a stove."
After Han Shuang finished speaking, he was the first to reply: "I have a lot of stones there, I'll just move them for you." ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, and when Han Shuang saw this, he hurriedly added to his back: "I want to build the stove in the open space without stone houses in the west of the tribe, you just move there and put it." ”
"Okay" Feng replied and quickened his pace.
The stones were ready-made, and then he told Tuqi who used the mud that he knew where they were, and then took a few orcs with baskets on their backs and went to dig.
It's getting late, and it's impossible to eat salt crystal today, but salt water doesn't affect her from making food.
The construction of the stove will not be in a hurry for a while, and Han Shuang wants to take advantage of this time to cook a delicious meal for everyone.
In the past few days, she has harvested several kinds of medicinal materials that can be used as medicine and can be used as seasonings, including angelica, Polygonum multiflori, sand ginger, star anise, grass fruit, gastrodia, wild ginseng, lily, sour jujube, aloe vera and wolfberry.
Tonight, she will make angelica wolfberry pork bone soup, slate-fried beef, charcoal-grilled pork ribs, and aloe vera lily winter date soup.
When she thought of all this food, she was energized to work.
First let the people wash the beef and cut it into large slices of meat one finger thick, then she took a bowl and diluted a bowl of salt water, added sand ginger puree, star anise powder, and grass fruit powder to the brine water, stirred evenly, and evenly smeared on the meat pieces with her hands for marinating.
It's the same process with pork chops.
After the meat was processed, she personally cleaned the wild boar bones and put them into a stone pot that had already been washed, added angelica and water to start simmering first.
Wait for the soup to thicken in the pot, then add the wolfberries and salt water and cook on high heat for five minutes.
Once the meat is processed, the next step is to prepare for the aloe vera and lilies.
Aloe vera peeled with water soaked in water to remove its mucus for later use, lily because it is fresh, so do not need to soak in water, wash and put aloe vera together, when the water boils together, blanch off the astringency, and then change the water to add winter jujube to boil out the sugar in the jujube is a rare sweet soup.
The sun goes down and darkness falls.
After three hours of continuous busywork, the pork bone soup, fried steak, roast pork ribs and sweet soup were all ready, and the square was already filled with the aroma of these foods, and many orcs had left their mouths with a hala.
In anticipation of everyone's eagerness, Han Shuang's smoky voice came into everyone's ears: "It's ready, let's eat." ”
After watching for hours, they were already hungry, but not a single orc dared to come forward to eat.
Han Shuangzheng didn't understand what they meant, and explained to her: "You make the food, you pick the fattest place and cut a piece first, this is the rule of the tribe, and it is also their respect for you." ”
Following the customs of the locals, the detention explained that she was not hypocritical, took her own wooden bowl and directly scooped a bowl of sweet soup with aloe vera lilies, and then cut a wild boar rib with a dagger, and sat down in an open place with dinner before starting to eat.
Seeing her start eating, the rest of the orcs ran to tear the ribs and cut the beef while swallowing saliva, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
There are also orcs who are not so rude, such as Qingqing and Ji, Qingqing first scooped a bowl of sweet soup for herself, and then took the pork ribs handed to her and walked to Han Shuang and sat down next to Han Shuang before eating.
