Otherworldly Pastry Chef

No. 15 days after Xiao Baiyu was born, another snow fell in Yancheng.This was the second snowfall after Bai Yu was born, and with the climate of Rock City, the snow that fell at this time could not melt quickly, so except for the place that the orcs cleaned up, the snow in other corners was already very thick.

The snow started to fall at noon, and Hei Xiao was covered in snow when he came back from hunting outside the city.

The geothermal heat in the small building is really very useful. Guo Guo hugged Xiao Baiyu and wandered around the living room, coaxing the little guy to sleep. When he heard the door rang, he turned around and saw Hei Xiao coming in. He also carried two pheasants in his hand. Not big, but not bad for this season.

"If you are not allowed to hunt, fly away, where is there anything for you to hunt this season?"

Hei Xiao didn't get close to Guo Zi and Xiao Yu, he was so cold that he didn't dare to get close to his wife and children.

"I just wanted to go for a run, but it snowed again unexpectedly. I ran to the lake to have a look, and the water was frozen. I will go to the owner's house in a while and ask him when to pick up the water. Put the ice in the ice cellar. I caught these two pheasants when I came back. I also met a herd of deer, and I hunted a stag. Isn’t this something good for your body in winter? The family eats fried venison."

When Guozi heard that there was venison to eat, he was also a little greedy.His appetite has been good lately, and his enthusiasm for meat in particular shows no signs of abating.

"Then you remove some of the deer tendons for me. I will marinate the deer tendons. That is the best for drinking. And you have to send a bowl of deer blood to Mr. Hu and Master Shifu. The rest of the blood And the antlers were given to the witch doctor. Di Huo said that deer blood can be used as medicine, especially in winter for weak old orcs. It is very useful to make medicine for the health of the old orcs. And the deerskin, please remove the hair, don’t peel the skin, When the time comes, stew the meat with the belt and make it frozen and delicious. And oh, you keep the legs and ribs. Grill them another day. Today I will eat fried meat slices. I will go after I put Xiaoyu to sleep Make dough, and when the time comes, pancakes will be baked directly on the slate and rolled with venison to eat."

After listening to Guozi's orders so much in one breath, the deer was basically divided into pieces, and it seemed that he really wanted to eat it.

"Then I'll clean up the deer before going out. Did Xiaoyu make trouble with you?"

Guozi looked at his son in his arms with a smile. The fifteen-day-old boy was round, white and tender, and Guozi simply couldn't get enough.At first, he thought that he didn't know how to be a parent before, and that the child would be blinded after birth, but he didn't expect that once the child was born, he would be reluctant to let go.Basically, he is not happy even when his parents come to take care of him for a day.

"Be good. My parents said that Xiaoyu will start to learn to speak in six or seven months at the latest. I think he can understand what I say now."

Hei Xiao smiled and said: "Of course. He is now a monk who established a foundation, and his realm is higher than mine. Didn't dad say that he can formally practice after his spiritual veins are fully developed after he is three years old. He will probably be very serious by then. It's almost beyond your limit."

Guozi sighed: "It's cool to say that. I'm also very happy. But it also seems that the two of us are too incompetent."

Hei Xiao felt that the cold air on his body had almost dissipated.He walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand to hold his son's little hand, it was so tender that he didn't dare to use a little force.

"That's nothing bad. I think he's about to fall asleep, otherwise you should lie down for a while. Wait until you wake up in the evening and prepare to knead the dough. Anyway, you don't need to eat dough pancakes. When the time comes, mom and dad can help take care of him." Kohane."

Guo Guo looked at the child in his arms and nodded: "Okay. Then I'll go upstairs first. Don't forget to send all the deer blood to the witch doctor. Fresh deer blood is the best."

Fresh venison is thinly sliced, whitish and curly after being placed on a slate for a few seconds, and then gradually browned.Sprinkle salt and pepper powder on the sliced ​​meat, pick it up and put it in your mouth, chewing the tender sliced ​​meat and the fragrant gravy, sweating while eating the fruit.

"I think eating this really warms you up."

Qing Chenzi also had a great time eating, but he was not as meticulous as the fruit. He picked up a lot of sliced ​​meat and put it on the stone slab in front of him, pulling it back and forth, just like stir-fried sliced ​​meat.

"Of course. Venison. But it's good to eat in winter. Hei Xiao, take someone to dig ice tomorrow. Don't forget to dig ice to catch fish. The fruit is suitable for drinking more fish soup now, and that stuff is also very nourishing for the body." Although there is no milk to drink...Of course he wouldn't say that.

Hei Xiao nodded: "Yes. Father, mother and father. I thought about it at the time, anyway, it's really fine in winter. I can do physical exercise in Zhushan, and more importantly, I want to practice more for Xiaoyu. So I thought I would take Guozi and Xiaoyu to live in Zhushan after digging the ice this time. Do you think it will work?"

Of course, Qing Chenzi has no objection.

"That's great. We will live with you, and we can help you take care of your children. Guozi can start to resume his cultivation now, so it's better to strengthen it as soon as possible. Otherwise, the alchemy will always be empty, and he will want to eat even more." He glanced at the flesh on Guozi's face, and silently did not continue talking.

Fruit understood.

"So it's like this? When the spiritual power in the inner alchemy is empty, you will want to eat?" He recalled that after upgrading before, he always felt that he couldn't compare with what he is now.

"It's just because your body lacks energy, so you instinctively want to eat to supplement. This is the most basic human instinct. After your spiritual power recovers, you can do physical training with Hei Xiao. Although you don't need to go hunting, but A good body is still necessary. Fat rabbits don’t look good either.”

The corner of Guozi's mouth twitched: "Hei Xiao won't despise me."

Hei Xiao quickly expressed his opinion: "Guozi was too thin before. I think it is very good now. It would be good to be fatter."

Although Guozi would not be willing to let himself continue to be so fat, but Hei Xiao's words were very useful to him.

"Look!"

Qing Chenzi looked disdainful: "If he dares to dislike him, he will give birth to the child in the future!"

Guo Guo made up for Hei Xiao's big belly, and he was so shocked that the bread in his hand fell off the slate.

"It's scary!"

Hei Xiao couldn't laugh or cry: "I really don't want to let the fruit suffer. Father, mother, if you are not there when the child becomes pregnant again in the future, can he let the witch doctor deliver the child like an ordinary female?"

Qingchenzi nodded: "Yes, yes, but it will hurt and needs a recovery period. But you are thinking too much. This time, Guozi suddenly entered a special period after upgrading. How could there be such a good opportunity. Maybe the next time he is born When you were a child, you could already use spiritual power to draw the child out as a spirit body. Don't worry, we will leave you many good things before we leave. Besides, we are not not coming back. "

In the past, people in Yancheng would not go near the water in winter. After all, there would be no prey to come to drink water after the water surface was frozen in winter.They never thought that they could fish in the ice. If it wasn't for storing ice for summer, even Qing Chenzi would not have remembered it.

Fish jumped out of the ice hole that was smashed open. Although a dozen or so people went to fetch the ice, the number of fish they brought back was not that many, but there were twelve or three fish per person.But everyone gave the extra two or three to Hei Xiao. After all, Hei Xiao thought of the method of catching fish, and Hei Xiao took the net. Everyone knows that Hei Xiao's family has a newborn cub, so naturally they need to take care of it. him some.

This year, because of the busy work, few have built cellars, let alone ice cellars.However, Yan Zhen organized people to dig ice cellars and vegetable cellars in the city after returning from the main city.So the ice is sent to the ice cellar for storage.What they want is not to bring ice drinks in summer, but to better preserve food, so these ices are not so particular. After all, they are the first time to take ice, the soil and water plants frozen in the ice There are also a lot of sundries.Doesn't look very clean.

But they didn't see these fruits, and he was even more afraid of the cold now. It was better for him to take care of the children at home in this snowy day.But he was very happy with the fish that Hei Xiao brought back.Hei Xiao cut ice for two days, and he stewed fish soup for two days.

Drinking the milky white fish soup every day, Qing Chenzi had the bad illusion that they could use it to nurse their children.

Today is the third and last day of ice digging.Hei Xiao brought back a dozen more fish than every day, including a silver-white carp, which was extremely fat.

Ordinary orcs can't see any problems, but Hei Xiao can see the difference in this fish at a glance.There is a faint aura on this fish. Although it is not at the level of a monster, it will have a good taste when eaten, and it can absorb a certain amount of spiritual power.

Guozi was very happy when he saw this carp.After drinking the fish soup for two days, he still didn't feel tired at all, so he asked Hei Xiao to pack the carp and stew it.

The aroma of this pot of soup began to overflow from the moment it was boiled, and Guo Zi swallowed when he saw Hei Xiao, feeling much more balanced in his heart.

"It smells good! It will be done in a while, and I will send half of it to my mother, father, and Xiaobao."

Hei Xiao nodded: "Yeah. When I delivered the fish soup, I took the little mink with me, and asked him to take me to the place where he picked pine nuts yesterday."

Thinking of pine nut corn makes the fruit's mouth water even more.

"It would be great if there was cream. It can be used to stir-fry creamy pine nut corn, but milk cakes are also fine. Speaking of which, Xiaohua recently said that he accidentally got lemon juice into the milk and accidentally made milk tofu. It's really amazing .”

"I remember that you mentioned the method of milk tofu in those recipes." Hei Xiao didn't think it was a big deal.

Guozi nodded: "Yes. But because of the lack of milk, and because I haven't done it before, I forgot. But Xiaohua hasn't read my books. He made it unintentionally. , How can it be compared with someone teaching. He is really good like this. Even if the milk can’t be sold, it can be stored for a longer time, and it can also be used to make snacks, which is great!”

Hei Xiao smiled: "The milk from the dairy factory is not enough to make toffee. Are you still worried that you won't be able to sell it?"

"That's right. But the number of cows and sheep in the dairy factory will definitely increase gradually, and there will be more milk at that time. Hei Xiao, you said that if this goes on like this, when the spring begins, if people from other beast cities come to order again, we will What did you use to sell it? If we hadn’t bought a lot of raw materials from other beast cities this year, we wouldn’t have been able to complete those orders. However, when spring begins, other beast cities don’t have any surplus food.”

"This is something the city lord needs to worry about, so don't think about it so much. Besides, in fact, there will be no big food transactions in the short period of time from the beginning of winter to the arrival of summer. This time is really an exception. But it's quite Well, you can see that everyone in Yancheng is very active now. Those without mana talents work hard to help the land, and males with poor magic powers can also hunt ordinary animals and sell them to processing factories. Males with stronger abilities can collect and hunt magic materials. Tall females can make potions and extracts and sell them to processing factories. Even the elderly and cubs can help with simple processing of ingredients. I have never seen people in the entire beast city so united, and everyone is working hard. These You brought them all."

Guozi smiled: "I said that I seem to be great, but in fact it's not because I like to eat. Let's not talk about it, you look at Xiaoyu, I'll go to see the pot."
