Steward Leipas also sent someone to bring a pork chop from a wild boar, which made me happy.Originally!
I was going to replace the pork with pheasant and guinea pig meat, but this pork chop will definitely add a bit of color to this stew.As for why there are vermicelli, it is because a few days ago, Kuzi picked up a basket of potatoes from the outside, this thing has a lot of starch, and it will be a little sweet if left for a while.Although this thing is usually a coarse grain for slaves to eat, but many orc tribes will also reserve this kind of abundant food in the cataclysmic year to replace the grain, Kuzi likes to eat it raw, both hungry and thirst-quenching, it is very crispy to eat raw, and later I found out that this thing is a bit like a sweet potato, but the sweet potato has a very thick skin, and you need to use a machete to break the hard thick skin to eat the crisp and tender rhizomes inside.Seeing these sweet potatoes resembling sweet potatoes, I was reminded of some of the past when I was a child, when the family was very poor, even if the Chinese New Year dumplings were difficult to afford to buy a lot of meat, and there were many people in the family, in the autumn, my mother would prepare a large vat, put the mashed sweet potatoes into it, fill it with water and keep stirring, and then after filtering the sweet potato dregs, slowly wait for the water in the tank to settle down, and the purest sweet potato starch will be left at the bottom of the tank after the water is skimmed.The wet starch is put into a small leaky pot full of small round eyes, and the starch paste flows into boiling hot water along the round eyes, and it will become vermicelli, which can be dried on the steaming machine, and can be kept until the summer of the next year and will not be broken.If it is a Chinese New Year's Eve meal during the New Year, if there is less meat in the dumplings, some vermicelli will also be put in, which is also delicious.When I grew up, maybe I starved as a child, and when I grew up, I became a cook.But since then, no dish has had the same taste as when I was a child.In this new world, all my efforts have been to prove one thing: I'm alive!
I'm still the same person I was, but no one can understand the loneliness in my heart, I miss those people and things, I'm afraid that I will slowly forget, I want to try to remember them, so when I saw Kuzi eating sweet potatoes, I couldn't help but make some vermicelli, just to prove it to myself.So Kuz and I made a bag of vermicelli, and Kuz was very curious about vermicelli, but because it was made from sweet potatoes, it was usually a way of scolding people in the caravan to eat sweet potatoes, which was to mock him as a slave.
Prisoner.
Untouchables or destitute vagrants, so when I decided to cook such a bunch of noodles with meat for this meal, I was a little worried."
Jijia, do you think we can really do it?""
Well, Kuz, you go and deal with those guinea pigs, we don't want those guinea pigs this time, there are too many guinea pigs, we can't handle them.""
Got it, Jiga, you said those people should know what we gave them" "It's vermicelli!"
Vermicelli, kuz, you have to remember that this is the starch essence that we have worked so hard to extract from some plants, which is very delicious and nutritious. ”I hurriedly brainwashed Kuz that if I let the people in the caravan know that I invited them to eat sweet potatoes, I would not have a good life.In human society, sweet potatoes were eaten by slaves, and they were only used as food in times of famine."
Alright!
Vermicelli, is this really edible?
”"Kuz!"
I elongated the tone."
Alright!
It's delicious, delicious!
Definitely, yes.Jijia, why don't you get a pot of broth?
You see that we have so much meat, it's more than enough to boil a pot of soup, in fact, I think we should add a little bit of rice, it's great. ”Kuz's mouth was drooling, and he was skinning a guinea pig with a thin-skinned knife, trying to convince me to change the recipe.I can't agree to this, I want to eat this bite for a long time, and now that I have such an opportunity, it's impossible to give it up, besides, questioning whether a chef's dishes are delicious is definitely an insult to me, and I can't accept it.Uncle Anlu, the fat man, squatted on the edge of the stove, staring at the bell with big eyes and looking at me and Kuzi, he would also hear what we said in his ears word for word, I was worried that he would stay with the two of us for a long time, and Kuzi would not be strict enough to say anything, so he wanted to break up the fat man Uncle Anlu for a while, and then said: "Oh, dear Uncle Anlu, you see that this iron pot is too dirty, can you help me fetch a bucket of water to help us brush the pot?"
”I'm pretending to be cute and begging my husband Anlu.When the fat man An Lu heard this, he was a little reluctant at first, but a pair of huge toad eyes turned and immediately agreed.He smiled at me and said, "It's a great honor to serve you, as long as you two little ones promise me not to climb up to the stove casually, and the task that Lord Leipas has given me is to take care of you both." ”"Uncle Anlu, I will take care of myself, and I will also keep an eye on Kuzi and take good care of him."
I patted my little chest and assured that it looked like the fat man Anlu was a little skeptical, but he didn't refuse.With a fat round belly, carrying two huge wooden barrels in his hands, he muttered in his mouth and didn't know what to say, and walked slowly towards the lake not far away.Carrying the two round ears of a guinea pig with one hand, a light tap on the back of the guinea pig's head will kill it, but in this case, the blood will not be released, and the flesh will appear a little dark red.Hanging the dead guinea pig's front teeth on a string, Kuzi quickly peeled off the fur with a knife in his hand, Kuzi was so skilled at doing this that before I could even see his movements, he had already peeled off the whole mouse skin and hung it aside, and said to me: "Jijia, let's make a mattress for this skin, it is moisture-proof and warm." ”Guinea pig meat needs to be soaked in cold water for a while to remove the smell of earth, and this delicate boning knife in my hand is one of the three knives that Fred gave me, and there is also a small peeling knife that bends like a cow's horn and a bayonet that is as sharp as that, the bayonet is used to kill large animals, such as antelopes, as long as the bayonet is inserted along the space between the collarbones and into the heart of the chest cavity, even I can solve a sheep tied to a tree.These three knives lie in a calfskin clip, and I have kept them very well.The bright red guinea pig meat was chopped into fist-sized squares by me, and the pieces of meat were piled up in a copper basin to gradually form a small mountain of meat.I also have 7 pheasants, and I originally wanted to have the opportunity to smoke and roast them over the fire, and only make a little cured meat for Kuzi to taste, but now I have to change my mind and contribute.Adding some chicken to guinea pig meat makes it extra delicious.At this time, the cooks in the dance troupe carried huge wooden barrels and carried wooden tubs back from the lake one after another, and the food of the dance troupe was much more exquisite than that of the merchant troupe, and the variety was rich and delicious.Many of the wealthy traders occasionally took out some copper plates to exchange food with the cooks in the dance troupe, and Fred once invited me to eat a box of sweet japonica rice.Their large wooden basin was filled with tender camelina, which had been washed cleanly, and there were still water droplets hanging on the leaves.In addition, there is a large pot of mutton, the cooks are not very old, but each of them is strong enough, at least two buckets of water will not be too difficult, they talked and laughed and walked to the stove, and saw that only me and Kuzi were cooking the ingredients, the leader was tall, fair-skinned, and had a few freckles on her face, and the woman who was about thirty years old stared at me with her blue eyes and asked, "Why is that fat man not there?"
Who told you to come here, little ones?
”"Uncle Anlu went to the lake to fetch water.The food we are preparing for dinner here is with the permission of Master Leipass, and my partner Kuz and I are going to treat everyone in the group to a stew, you see, this is the guinea pig we have caught, very fat. ”I straightened up, holding a bloody guinea pig on the hind legs in one hand, and looked at the woman in front of me with a smile, even though I didn't even know her name."
Are you bold?
Are you the apprentice of the Kuru Witch Doctor?
”The woman's words did not know whether to ask or praise, and after saying that, she walked to the other cauldron and put the barrel in her hand on the ground.I could only nod into the air, it seemed like she just needed to know that Kuz and I weren't here to mess around, and she didn't want to talk to me much at all, which was probably the pride of the cook!"
He's the kid the old orc picked up in the caravan?""
Didn't you say it's small?""
Looks pretty good!"
The women walked past me talkingly, and some people looked at me from time to time, as if they knew I existed.Perhaps because the women were somewhat strange about the caravan's practice of sending two children to cook, they were very curious about me and Kuz.There was even a knife-faced woman who smelled of green onions and ran up to me and stared at me directly, which made me a little hairy.Later, he was looked at by a strong woman fiercely, and then he moved back there stupidly.The dinner was very rich, also because of the early camping day, because the next step was a long winding road into the Pai Plateau.Before that, they will recuperate for two days by the lake with abundant water and grass.I saw a fair-faced woman pouring water from the lake into the cauldron, rolling up her sleeves to reveal her white round arms, stacking the mutton washed from the big wooden basin into the cauldron one by one, and some people were making a fire underneath, and some people were sprinkling some tender green wild onions into the soup pot.The women in the brigade know how to cherish fuel, and after walking out of the mountains, it is difficult to get enough dead wood or hay on the grassland, so some dried rhinoceros dung is also a good fuel, but these things are also scarce, and it is necessary to waste as little heat as possible.So everyone was busy and the action was very quick.Everyone has a clear division of labor and cooperates very well.Seeing the joyful smiles on their faces made them feel happy about the life of the company, and I thought to myself: there may be no lack of joy anywhere in the world, but it is mainly about discovering it.Kuzi was very happy, he was still staring at the guinea pig with his fur clean, the pork chops and pheasant pieces in the copper basin drooling, and when he saw me, he hurriedly retracted his gaze and began to settle the cooked skin, and Kuzi told me that guinea pig skin was not a precious fur, but it was perfect for making a sleeping bag, which was warm and waterproof, and did not take up space when rolled up.When traveling, many humans like to sew sleeping bags out of guinea pig skin.I asked, "What kind of sleeping bag do orcs like?"
”"The wolf orcs like to sleep on cowhides, and most of these warm guinea pig skins are sold to Terran travelers and traders, and a sleeping bag can be exchanged for 100 white loaves of bread."
Kuz said to me triumphantly, and then shook the bloody guinea pig skin in his hand and put it on the wooden pole on the side."
My grandfather said that these guinea pig skins are enough to make you a sleeping bag, Jijia!""
Do I need a sleeping bag?"
I was a little surprised, even in the harsh winter of the New Siachis Mountains in the dwarven realm, I didn't need to wear an extra leather jacket, and the fire poison in my body made me prefer colder places.The warm and humid southeast trade winds have been making my body uncomfortable lately, and I never thought I'd need a warm sleeping bag at night.Kuzi thought about it, and didn't understand why I needed a sleeping bag when I was never afraid of the cold, but he still stubbornly said: "Grandpa said that it will be for you, there will definitely be no mistake!"
”After all the ingredients were ready, I began to cut into pieces of a wild green onion and purple ginger called Brain Boom, and Kuz brought over two clay pots from my bag, which used to be Uncle Fred's wine jar, but when the wine was dry, I asked me to come and fill it, one jar of white flower animal fat, and the other half jar of honey.When I opened the clay pot, Kuz looked at me in a daze: "Why do you still have honey?"
You didn't eat all the honey that you took when you drank the medicine?
”"I'm not afraid of hardship, so I naturally keep it.This stuff is scarce.Look, I'll tell you a little secret, when you stew meat, put a few drops of honey into the pot, just a few drops, and the meat tastes delicious!
”I proudly shared my secret with Kuz, this guy did not hesitate to go to the bear cave deep in the mountains to find it alone for this jar of honey, and when he came back, he was still slapped with a paw on the back by the sleeping earth storm bear, and that day I watched Kuz climb up the thunder rhinoceros with a few pieces of beeswax covered in blood, I was stupid, this guy didn't have the heart to think that I made a grimace.So sometimes I feel that camaraderie is priceless.The cow dung of the thunder rhinoceros burns with a faint aroma of grass, and the whole pot of milky white lard gradually melts in the pot, and after the oil temperature becomes hotter, it begins to smoke in large quantities.Kuz, who had never seen such a way of cooking, stood on the edge of the cauldron and craned his neck to look into the pot, and thought to me and shouted eagerly: "Jiga, there is smoke in the pot, it's going to be paste!"
”Kuz speaks orc when he's in a hurry.I beckoned Kuz and the others to pour the whole pot of meat into the large iron pot, and the fresh meat slid down the edge of the pot into the bottom of the pot, and was fried by the hot oil, making a sizzling sound.After that, Kuzi began to stand on the pot as I commanded, waving the shovel in his hand to stir-fry the meat pieces, and I took a small basin of various colors, and threw the minced brain, wild ghost ginger and some herbs similar to wild peppercorns into the pot, and finally got some honey into the pot, and when I saw Kuz's somewhat distressed eyes, I decided to stop.When the cooks at the dance troupe noticed that we had already started cooking, Kuz and I had already cut off the meat raw, removed the fish, and threw all kinds of spices into it.Then pour two large buckets of water into the pot.I let Kuz light the fire while I went to process the vermicelli.Uncle An Lu had already brought the water back, and when he saw that we were doing a good job, he was happy to be idle, and went to the side of the dance company cook who stayed aside to watch the lively scene, and was close to the two young cooks with the old face of the lowly and filthy old face.Obviously, the cook over there is familiar with the fat man An Lu, but she didn't give the fat man Uncle An Lu a good face, the young woman with eyes a little like a bell and a knife face even sarcastically said to Uncle An Lu: "What's the matter, Fei An, is it that the guy can't do this job anymore, Master Leipas is willing to use two children to cook without you, is it that the soup you make is too unpalatable!"
Hey, I heard you used to raise guinea pigs in the countryside, is that true?
”"AhhWhich one is behind Lao Tzu's back?
What's so bad about the food I cooked, the caravan has always cooked like this, and the soup with dried meat and wild vegetables with brown bread tastes like this!
”An Lu turned around and glanced at me, and saw that I was concentrating on washing the vermicelli, so he lowered his tone twice and said, "Kuzna and Jijia are the people of the caravan witch doctor's father, and these two children are usually diligent!"
They usually do a lot of things to boil soup and medicine, they are all good children, this is not someone caught a bag of guinea pigs in that grassland, and proposed to stew a pot of meat for our caravan, hehe, fight tooth sacrifice!
Hey, I also helped, I just helped them fetch water, they are small, they can't carry it!
”The afternoon sun warmed the whole camp, and not far from the stove there were mountains of grain bags, and many people leaned on the food bags to bask in the sun.Where there are people, there will be chats, the cooks and girls while watching the fire, while gradually getting together and starting to talk about the world, the fat Uncle An Lu is very talkative, although people are a little obscene, but they can say very well, sometimes inadvertently will inadvertently throw out a little yellow joke, women don't care too much, giggling is a burst of laughter and scolding.The smell of mutton began to waft from the cauldron of the dance troupe, and it may not be long before the mutton is almost cooked.The mutton soup has begun to turn white, the oil is tumbling in the water, and the other side of the slate has begun to burn a thin layer of flour, and the white and delicate flour is slowly turning brown on the hot slate, exuding the unique aroma of wheat flour.There is no such extravagant food caravan as white noodles, and only the dancers of the dance troupe can afford to eat it.Kuzi pouted his ass and tried to make the cow dung burn fully with a blackened stick in his hand, and the soup pot of our guinea pig meat began to emit an alternative aroma, it was a smell that I remember for a long time since I smelled it, and now it wafted in the air, making my joints feel a tingling pleasure.Kuz obviously smelled this fragrance that could waft far away, and he worked extra hard to burn the fire.I threw the bundle of vermicelli into the pot under Kuz's complaining gaze.I seemed to see the bottom of Kuzi's heart at this time: Jijia, can we not put that thing braised pork stewed vermicelli!
