Chapter 79: Robbed
Seeing that he couldn't get out of the predicament, and the possibility of being attacked by the outside world was also very small, Xiao Yu relaxed his vigilance slightly, he sat down cross-legged, and asked if he didn't understand: "Brine squid?" What is brine? ”
"Hmm," Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "The brine is made by putting seasonings in clean water and simmering. Simmer until the flavor of the seasoning is brought out, then add the squid after preliminary processing and blanching, heat and cook, so that the fragrant and fresh flavor of the brine penetrates into the marinade and becomes a marinated dish.
Brine squid is to blanch the cleaned squid, put the squid into the brine after boiling, mix well, cover the lid and boil until boiling, turn to low heat and cook for 20 minutes. ”
Xiao Yu was confused: "Wenxi, I don't understand very well, does this brine have to be replaced with other kitchen utensils?" This iron plate can't cook the brine you said, right? ”
He had long been accustomed to the convenient life brought by robots, and suddenly heard such detailed and specific cooking steps, and he couldn't keep up for a while.
"Yes, it's not just about replacing the iron plate, I also need a pot that can control the fire. Fortunately, I was prepared, bell, bell! This pot and cassette stove are the wool I picked up from Chen Ai, how about it, I'm witty, right? ”
Wenxi took out the outdoor cooking utensils and equipment she had prepared for camping in advance from the space button, with pots, stoves and ingredients, enough for her to make brine squid.
Xiao Yu gave a thumbs up and praised, "Wenxi, you are quite well prepared!" I'm just craving something hot. Follow you, that's right. Su Anji, your kid's eyes are so vicious! ”
"Less set almost!"
Su Anji frowned and said, "Xiao Yu, why are you stupid?" Don't hurry up and get to work! Wenxi is not the chef you hired at a high price, are you embarrassed to open your mouth and wait to eat? ”
He still maintained the posture of holding his weapon tightly and launching a counterattack at any time, for fear of sudden changes in the confined space. He has nothing to worry about, and it doesn't matter if he dies.
But he can't let Wenxi die before him!
This is the work ethic of Super Horse!
Xiao Yu sighed twice, no longer engaged in a verbal dispute with Su Anji, he offered to help: "Wenxi, what can I do?" ”
"Well, you can check the pollution level of this bucket of water, and if it is below 500, it can be used to clean the squid."
Wenxi doesn't like to cook, she doesn't need any smell of fireworks in the world, she just wants to sit and wait to eat.
It's a pity that Xiao Yu and Su Anji obviously can't take on this heavy responsibility, and if Wenxi wants to eat food that suits her taste, she has to do it herself.
She took out the washed mutant rat meat from the space button, cut it into large pieces and put it in a pot of clean water, boiled it over high heat until it boiled, skimmed off the foam, and repeated several times until the mutant rat meat was boiled until it was soft and deboned, and then poured out and put it in a soup bowl.
Xiao Yu was close to the soup bowl, and the seductive aroma of meat made his skin thicker: "Huh? Wenxi, what kind of meat did you just cook? It smelled weird, and the smell was very strong. Do you want me to try the poison? ”
"Xiao Yu, your abacus beads have been heard by the people in the 317 base!"
Su Anji scolded Xiao Yu as always, and after scolding people, he sold to Wenxi: "Wenxi, are you cooking mutant giant rat meat?" Processed meat bought from Chen Ai? ”
"Well, sort of."
Wen Xi didn't say how she fought wits and courage with Chen Ai's big profiteer, and it took a lot of lips and tongues to get him to give him three bags of mutant giant rat meat with a radiation pollution value of 0.
Xiao Yu's words were really sincere, "Anyway, I've never seen anyone who can handle mutant giant rat meat like this when I'm so big, just put it in a pot of water and stew, its fishy smell is so strong, will it really be delicious?" ”
His senses were more than ten times stronger than those of ordinary people, so he could clearly smell the fishy smell in the soup bowl.
Wenxi rinsed the pot with the water she had brought from the river before, and she refined the oil with the fat of the mutated giant rat meat, discarding the oil residue that had been squeezed dry, and then adding water to the pot, and then adding cloves, cumin, coriander seeds, star anise, and grass fruits.
She didn't get her hands on cinnamon for the time being, and there was less seasoning for two flavors, and the taste of the marinade boiled had little effect.
There was no use of a coter, Wenxi asked Xiao Yu to hold the soup bowl, and she blocked the edge of the bowl with chopsticks: "Xiao Yu, you pour the soup, try not to let the meat and bones of the mutant giant rat fall into the pot." ”
Xiao Yu did as he said, he had rough skin and thick meat, but he was not afraid of hot hands, and after pouring the soup, he saw the bone and meat residues at the bottom of the bowl: "Wenxi, can you eat this?" ”
Wenxi stirred the brine pot and said to Xiao Yu: "Well, you can eat it, but it shouldn't taste good." If you want to try it, sprinkle some salt first. ”
After a long period of stewing, the essence of the mutant giant rat meat was all stimulated, and the residue was tasteless.
"Poof~"
Xiao Yu sprinkled a little salt on the bottom of the soup bowl, and the fishy smell in his mouth was so strong that he couldn't swallow it in one bite, and he was disgusted and wanted to vomit!
"Hahaha~"
Su Anji let out a dumbbell-like laugh, he likes to watch Xiao Yu's embarrassment, it's so funny! Enough for him to laugh all day!
Wen Xi was mentally prepared, and handed over a bottle of water at the right time: "Xiao Yu, you understand why the big guy is reluctant to eat raw stewed mutant giant rat meat, right?" ”
"Wenxi, you know this, why do you still boil?" Xiao Yu shouted unconvinced.
"Brine needs to use broth, and brine without broth has no soul. I dare to use mutant rat meat to make broth, and the secret lies in the seasonings I add to the pot! ”
Wen Xi stirred the brine pot and explained to Xiao Yu, "Mutant plants are aggressive, and with their age, these brine recipes have long been lost. I relied on my superpowers to identify the special effects of these mutated plants, and then it was time to test whether they were correct. ”
Xiao Yu was not as blindly trusting as Su Anji, and he accurately captured Wen Xi's speech loopholes: "Stop, stop, stop!" Wenxi, you don't have to tell me so much about what you don't have, you just need to tell me a little, the most important point! Can these mutated plants used as seasonings really be edible? Is it true that eating it will not cause harm to the body? ”
Wenxi said truthfully: "Probably not." You don't have to worry, I'll test the poison first, and if I'm okay after eating it, you can eat it again. ”
Xiao Yu: ...... I believe in your wickedness!
Su Anji noticed Xiao Yu's ghostly expression, and laughed a few times: "Xiao Yu, you only remember to ask if you can eat it now?" ”
Xiao Yu glared angrily: "Su Anji, don't think that I don't dare to beat you!" ”
"Slightly, cowards drink cold water! Deserve! ”
Su Anji finished falling into the well and continued to show loyalty to Wenxi: "Wenxi, I'll eat first!" ”
Wen Xi raised his eyebrows: "Okay!" When the brine boils, you can put in the squid! After 20 minutes, it's time to witness the miracle! ”
Time flickered by, and a strange fragrance wafted through.
Xiao Yu was so fascinated by the soul-stirring smell of meat that he lost his rational judgment: "Wenxi, I'll try the poison first!" ”
Su Anji sneered, and was about to say something, when an earth-shattering loud noise came from overhead!
Boom!
"! Where's the loud noise? Someone is attacking us from outside, is it? ”
Su Anji's complexion changed greatly, and he rushed to Wenxi with his weapon in his arms, and his body was naturally in a protective posture.
Twenty meters away from them, there was thick smoke billowing out, and Wen Xi hadn't figured out what the situation was, and the whole pot of brine squid was gone!
