Demon King's Bather

Feeling better, when he heard that Yu Chunlai wanted to go to Qinghu City to participate in the Harvest Festival with the banshees, His Royal Highness the Demon King readily agreed. Not only that, he also decided to go with Yu Chunlai on that day.

Well, he knew it would be like this. Although His Royal Highness the Demon King looks very cold, there is still a heart that likes to join in the fun hidden in the reserved hairball.

In the Dahuang Mountains in autumn, there is no tension when opening the mountain gate. The rare fruit trees in the mountains and the fruits on the thorns begin to mature. You can put aside the matter of buying chickens, but this annual opportunity to store winter grain is not to be missed. .

During this period of time, except for the big monsters who already have official jobs and do not have to come to work in the store, other monsters in Dahuangshan have all reduced the frequency of exchanging their prey for food. The appetite can be suspended, and the food for winter But it is the foundation of life-saving.

The off-season of Yu's Restaurant has finally arrived.

However, this is also good, even if the number of customers did not decrease, Yu Chunlai wanted to take all the monsters to collect fruits and make some snacks for storage. He was not worried about the food reserves in winter, and the rice noodles at home had a stable purchase channel. You don't have to worry about being hungry.

However, he plans to take the opportunity to collect more wild fruits to make some flower fruit tea. When there are few vegetables in winter, he can make some flower fruit tea to supplement vitamins. The sweet cubs also like to drink it.

The glimmer of life bestowed by heaven on the monster race is especially evident in the Great Barren Mountain.

Even though it is such a harsh and almost cruel place, the plants that survived after being eliminated by the laws of survival of nature still make use of the warm spring and autumn as much as possible to flower and bear fruit and reproduce.

Yu Chunlai has seen the appearance of a fruit tree in Dahuangshan when it blooms. It is really "thousands of pear trees blooming". Countless snow-white and fragrant flowers bloom on the branches overnight. This kind of flower will only appear after continuous sunny days. Blooming, so as to attract as many bees as possible to pick flowers and pollinate, the entire flowering period does not exceed three days, and then, when the summer rainstorm comes, the petals are knocked down by the rainstorm, but at this time, the fruit tightly wrapped in the stamen has grown to It is almost as big as a chestnut, and I am no longer afraid of the storm.

In autumn, under the continuous sunlight, these fruits seemed to mature collectively overnight, attracting countless birds and beasts to pick and peck, and by the way, the seeds in the fruits were scattered to various parts of the Great Barren Mountain for these fruit trees. Waiting for the next spring, when the right opportunity is encountered, it can germinate and take root, becoming a brand new life, and then continue the eternal reproduction.

Because of the short time, Yu Chunlai and the others had to speed up the collection. In order to save time for cooking, Yu Chunlai took advantage of the evening when he had nothing to do, and together with a few helping monsters, he made more than 200 pieces of meat that could be cut open in one go. I stewed a large pot of meat, and chopped a pot full of fresh perilla leaves and put it in the pot. When eating, heat up the noodle pancakes, bake them until both sides are browned, and stuff them with stewed meat. I like light Add some basil leaves and work together!

Speaking of the perilla leaves, it was Yu Chunlai who saw that half of the vegetables could not grow well in the yard, so he simply brought back some perilla and houttuynia roots that are easy to grow. Water can grow well.Unexpectedly, by mistake, these perilla and houttuynia were spreading wildly along the ditch in the yard, and it was almost a disaster. Therefore, Yu Chunlai's food shop used these two kinds of wild vegetables as side dishes .

At the beginning, many carnivorous monsters were not used to it, but after eating too much, some monsters suddenly realized that those who used to suffer from minor ailments have not relapsed for a long time!It was only then that the demons realized that Yu Chunlai had added that weird and bland wild vegetable to their pancakes, noodles, and stewed meat for their health! (You guys really think too much~)

If Dahuangshan also selects a "Dahuangshan Good Man" award, Yu Chunlai will definitely be elected with a high number of votes...

Anyway, in the eyes of all the monsters in the Great Barren Mountain, although Yu Chunlai is still a good-for-nothing to fight, in terms of social status and favorability, he is definitely three blocks ahead of the powerful Demon King His Highness!When the monsters are fighting, no one can persuade them. When Yu Chun comes to shout, he will pause in all likelihood, and listen patiently to what he has to say.Of course, no one knows whether there is any worry about "whether my right to queue up to buy things will be revoked if I don't obey".

Pulling the crooked building back again, Yu Chunlai finally determined through trial and error that among the wild fruits abounding in Dahuangshan, three kinds are quite suitable for drying flower and fruit tea. The first kind looks like hawthorn fruit. When ripe, they taste a bit astringent, but after being dried and soaked in boiling water, they are sweet and sour and very appetizing. Yu Chunlai simply called them hawthorn fruits.

The second kind looks like a papaya, but it is hollow in the middle, only a layer of pulp sticks to the outer skin. The seeds inside this kind of fruit are like nuts, which can be peeled off and fried to eat. The fragrance is similar to that of almonds. The outer skin is dried, but it is similar to orange peel. It is especially good for stewing meat, and it is also good for flower tea with hawthorn fruit.

The third is a kind of weed that looks like mugwort that the cubs accidentally discovered. I dropped some broken branches and put them in the big tea-making jar, but the whole jar of water smelled of mint leaves. Yu Chunlai felt like he had found a treasure, and after confirming that the weeds were not poisonous, he took the little demons to After cutting a lot, I also transplanted some roots near the door of the house. This is the Dahuangshan version of mint!

There is no rock sugar. In the end, Yu Chunlai used a little local brown sugar to make two flavors of fruit tea, one is tangerine peel tea with a cool mint taste, and the other is sweet hawthorn tea. Like mint-flavored tangerine peel tea, the cubs chose hawthorn tea without exception.

After drying hundreds of catties of fruit tea, they hid it in a dry cave. After the autumn harvest, it was time for them to go to Qinghu City to buy some. Of course, the chicks who promised the banshees had to buy it together.

The life of an ordinary farmer in this time and space is similar to Yu Chunlai’s ancient time and space. After the autumn harvest, the hardworking village women will hatch another batch of chickens, so that they can work hard to fatten up another batch when there are many edible vegetables and insects in autumn. , When the Chinese New Year comes, the young roosters that just grow to be fat and tender are sold in the market. Many wealthy households and nobles like to eat this bite. Those who really raise chickens are reluctant to kill their own chickens and eat them. If you sell it, it will be much easier to take care of when you are young, and you can add a few new clothes to your family for the New Year, which is not bad.

Yu Chunlai and the others had gained experience this time, they arrived at Qinghu City two days in advance, repeated their old tricks, and rented an independent courtyard in the old town, and the cubs and banshees, including the demon king and Yu Chunlai, all lived in the main house. In the three main rooms, the other demons who came along just made do and squeezed in the guest rooms, it didn't matter if it was only a few days or so.

Renting a yard by yourself has this advantage. It has an independent kitchen, and you can cook what you want to eat. You don’t have to follow the taste of the inn, and you don’t have to pay the innkeeper extra money if you want to open a small stove... The demon of Dahuangshan You guys, under Yu Chunlai's intentional or unintentional guidance, now you have learned how to count small accounts, so gratifying!

Unexpectedly, it was just this time that the small stove attracted an uninvited guest.

Qinghu City, as I said before, because of the special environment and the residents, it is more lively at night than during the day (after all, most monsters like to hide at night), so Yu Chunlai can easily find it at the back door in the evening The peddlers who came out to do night business with the burden bought two barrels of about a dozen fresh fish, two fat hens, a basket of fresh vegetables, a basket of wild strawberries, two big pork legs, and half a fat sheep.

There are too many people, so it is very troublesome to cook the same dishes. Yu Chunlai wanted to be lazy, mainly because His Highness the Demon King was still watching, and he was worried that if he cooked more dishes for others than the small stove for His Highness the Demon King It is inevitable), this grumpy and narrow-minded master, might throw sand and piss in the big stove where others eat (this is also very possible), so Yu Chunlai clapped his hands, called other kitchen assistants in, and prepared Ingredients hot pot!

For hot pot, the most important thing is the soup base. Sometimes a hundred-year-old restaurant can stay popular all the time, relying on a pot of ancestral soup base.

Because there are many monsters following the Harvest Festival, Yu Chunlai decided to make three pot bottoms. First, he slaughtered two fat hens and stewed them. Bone soup, mutton and even the belt meat were stewed in a big pot, and the aroma of stewed meat filled the yard. Yu Chunlai used a cooking method that had never existed in this time and space. The coercion is here, and those monsters with a keen sense of smell have already rushed in to grab delicious food.

The big monsters have no courage to break into the empty door, but the cubs are not afraid.

Yu Chunlai had just prepared the fish balls for His Royal Highness the Demon King, and was about to make some batter to fry spicy fish bones for snacks, when he suddenly looked up, he saw the chopping board in the kitchen. A pure white hair ball, if Yu Chunlai's eyes had not improved a lot after he became a half-demon, he might have mistaken this hair ball for the dough on the chopping board.

Mao Tuanzi curled himself up to the size of two fists, squatted quietly on the chopping board, stared at the fish balls on the chopping board with his big black eyes, and there was a suspicious trace of water on the corner of his mouth...

Yu Chunlai chuckled, and just took a fish ball with chopsticks and brought it to Mao Tuanzi's mouth, when he was cut off by His Royal Highness the Demon King who noticed the strange movement, this guy swallowed the fish in one gulp in front of Mao Tuanzi Maru, and proudly made a snoring sound at Mao Tuanzi.

Mao Tuanzi cried out in anger.
