Chapter 81: Braised Yellow Eel

The tribe is not yet at the end of its rope.

Large-scale fishing is not allowed until the second half of the third month of the dry season.

It's the same with this river dinner, you can catch it yourself, but you can't use tools such as nets to catch it on a large scale.

However, this does not prevent those powerful orcs from catching a lot of fish.

Just like the time when we picked up the carcasses, there will be no hunting tax on the fish caught in the river today.

In fact, in addition to participating in the hunting team and hunting collectively with the tribe, the tribe will draw hunting taxes, and at other times, you go out to collect some wild things and open a small stove by yourself, and the tribe will not manage it, and it will not collect taxes.

Of course, if you don't go out hunting with a group, it's very risky, and you usually can only catch small animals, so you can't do your best to hunt, so you need to be distracted to pay attention to the outside world to prevent accidents.

Normally, it was only when this kind of food was extremely easy to obtain and there was no need to pay taxes that the orcs became generous and willing to exchange animal meat for something like dipping sauce to satisfy their appetites.

"Aoi, do you think this mussel is okay? Give me some dipping sauce. ”

The bronze-skinned, profoundly contoured rod carried a half-meter-long river mussel in one hand and put it in the bucket of Mu Kui's house.

The shell of the mussel immediately opened, spitting out snow-white mussel flesh.

This is because the mussels can't stand the dryness and heat after leaving the water, and they are eager to replenish water when they encounter water.

"Okay."

Mu Kui responded, turned around and took a small leaf bowl of dipping sauce and handed it to him.

The leaf bowl, like the leaf plate, is folded out of large leaves by the orcs, and its role in the beast world is probably similar to that of a plastic bowl, which is used to temporarily hold things.

The leaves of plants can be seen almost everywhere in the animal world, and it is not distressing to pick and fold them into leaves and give them away.

Others, such as grasshoppers, dragonflies, foxes, and winged tigers made from blades of grass, are often easy to catch for orcs.

Having lived in the mountains and forests for so long, the winged tigers are professional in weaving techniques.

It is best to soak the mussels in clean water with a little salt for a few days to allow them to spit out the sediment.

And this thing is like a crab, it doesn't take long for it to become poisonous when it dies, and all it is sent by the orcs in exchange for live mussels.

Mu Kui did not serve these mussels for the first time, but planned to raise them for a few days before eating.

It's the same with river snails, which need to be raised for a few more days before they can be eaten.

Someone sent a half-meter-long yellow eel, the eel is black and red, and it is as thick as a child's arm.

Yellow eels are poisonous.

In general, the larger the eel, the more toxic it is.

Of course, the poison of the yellow eel will disintegrate when it is heated, and it is naturally toxic if it is not ripe, but if it is thoroughly cooked, it can still be eaten.

Moreover, Mu Kui has a purification ability, which can be the first to purify the toxins in its body when cleaning up, even if it is poisonous, it is not afraid.

The eel blood of the yellow eel is not heat-resistant, but it is highly toxic, which can numb the limbs and cause respiratory failure.

In addition, it is also a raw material for blindly refining witch medicine, whether it is to cure diseases and save people, or to refine poison, it is excellent.

As a witch priest, Mu Kui naturally will not give up this excellent pharmaceutical raw material.

Cut the eel's neck without slaughtering the whole head and cutting off its bones.

Then, the tail is slaughtered and bled slightly, and when the flow is almost complete, Mu Kui collects the eel blood, cuts the eel's mouth, and breaks it along the midline of the abdomen to remove the internal organs.

Wash well, put it in a pot, pour boiling water, white wine and white vinegar, add a few pieces of ginger bun bark and start to cook until the mucus automatically detaches from the eel.

Remove and wash off excess mucus, remove bones and cut into sections.

Because it is arm thick, the sunflower is cut directly in the way of horizontal slicing, and the cut yellow eel looks more like a circle that is not too thick, so as to ensure that it can fully absorb the flavor when stir-fried.

Heat the oil in the pot, fry the yellow eel first, take out the remaining oil, add ginger bark, needle core and dried red cap mushroom, stir-fry until fragrant, pour some low-degree tree powder wine, and then pour in the red heart prickly palm and white jade prickly palm cut into blocks, and fry together.

Finally, add salt, add the water mixed with broth and ginger taro powder, and simmer until the water collects the juice.

Females usually have a lot of barbecue and stew, such as Mu Kui, and spend so many processes to fry or stew the meat, and only a few people will do that.

At this time, many people were watching Mu Kui do it.

After all, orcs have a big appetite.

Stews and barbecues are not a hassle, and you can make a lot of them at once.

And like Mu Aoi, cutting the meat into pieces and stir-frying it with the thorny tree thorn palm is very troublesome just to look like, and it is not easy to make a dish that can satisfy the orc's appetite at one time.

For example, Mu Kui is now making this stinging palm stewed yellow eel, although the yellow eel that is more than half a meter long looks quite large, at least compared to human appetite.

A dish made of such a long yellow eel is enough for an ordinary person to eat a full meal.

But for orcs, it's just a taste of the amount.

Even if it's an ordinary female of the Winged Tiger Clan.

Such a dish, given to them to eat, is enough to choke even half full.

However, it has to be said that the charm of stir-fry is endless.

As soon as Mu Kui's dish came out of the pot, many orcs came over to beg for food.

"Aoi, this yellow eel you made tastes so good! Can we taste it? ”

"Yes." Mu Kui nodded, and after leaving a small part for her and Ah Di to try, he took the rest to the nearby orcs and divided it.

Frying, boiling, frying and stewing these cooking methods, the Winged Tiger clan is also made by someone.

It's just that, limited by the seasoning, the taste they make is not very good, and they are far less proficient in barbecue and stew.

Over time, there are fewer orcs who still insist on using these cooking methods.

Like grilled fish.

Mu Kui's craftsmanship is far less delicious than those orcs who have dozens or hundreds of years of barbecue experience.

Everyone eats river fresh food together in this square, and Mu Kui occasionally takes the river fresh or dipping sauce made by her family to exchange for other grilled fish to eat.

"No, no, no, you've eaten three pieces, you can't eat any more."

"I just tasted it, why can't I eat it?"

"Well, incense. Aoi's craftsmanship is so good, if anyone becomes her partner, she will be blessed in the future. ”

"Eh, I'm a female, why can't you let me!"

"I'll let you wait until I'm done eating this plate of eel."

"Haha! You kid, you deserve to be single. ”

The orcs rushed to the top.

Mu Kui and Ah Di were picking up the tree flour soft cake spread out with animal oil, preparing to eat it with the thorny paw stewed yellow eel, and the share she left for the orcs was divided up.

Even, there were a few orcs who blushed and had thick necks, and almost fought, so frightened that Mu Kui hurriedly took the vegetable plate and hid away with his brother, for fear that they would come again if they didn't eat enough.
