Otherworldly Pastry Chef

Chapter 63 The Big Watermelon by the River

A group of people discussed to temporarily alleviate the problem of bean supply, but this is indeed not a long-term solution.It was Mr. Hu who made a good suggestion. After the multi-tribal gathering successfully promotes soybean products, next spring, people in the city will be called on to plant soybeans in their own fields.Even in some places on the hillside where no useful plants are produced, soybeans or black beans can be planted, which can solve many problems.

In fact, no one can predict how many soybean products will be produced each month in the future.The reason why they are so active in collecting raw materials is because they trust the food made from the fruit too much.What's more, it's hard not to have confidence in something that has already tempted the patriarch.

It was only a few days before the end of the month when we discussed this matter.Because everyone knew that Hei Xiao and Bai Guo were going to the multi-tribal gathering and couldn't open a shop, and those people who were familiar with them didn't say anything even if they were greedy.Of course, there was also one thing that distracted them, that is, Ginkgo told everyone that they needed to buy a lot of fruits, and that they would use them to make wine.People can collect it now and buy it when they get back from the Multi-Clan Gathering.

Just for this, Hei Xiao ordered fifteen large jars with covers from Fu Sui's family, and ordered five hundred catties of sorghum wine from the liquor workshop.But these are not in a hurry, they are all ready-made things, and they can take them home after paying the money.

Recently, Douxiang Workshop has sent a lot of bean dregs every day, and Hei Xiao and Guozi couldn't finish the work together.However, other people don't know how many bean pine and bean dregs sesame cakes can be produced from these bean dregs. They put most of them into magic vessels, and they won't break easily anyway.Unless their own spiritual power is suddenly consumed a lot and they need the spiritual power of the magic weapon to replenish themselves, it will not be a problem to leave it for a few years.

This time, the flavor of the cold cake was changed to a fruit flavor.Now is the season when apples are about to ripen, and the apples at this time are just sweet and sour, so it is the best to make jam.Wrap apple jam in the glutinous rice balls, take a bite of sweet and sour, and there is a little bit of Tianshu's aura in it.After Guozi finished making these cold cakes, Yanzhen generously gave some more money.After all, things with stuffing are indeed of different grades, and Tianshu is added, which adds a little more magical energy.

"Guozi, I heard that you two are going to make wine, are you selling it?" After giving the money, Yan Zhen did not let the two of them leave, but chatted with them.

Hei Xiao nodded: "If it's good, it can be sold. If it's not good, drink it yourself."

Yan Zhen was speechless: "How long will it take to drink this? I think the grapes sent by Liyue City are a whole moose cart."

Hei Xiao replied: "Wine is fine. The fruit is confident that it can be brewed well. And the wine is made differently from other wines. When the fruit first arrived, it picked green plums and made two jars of green plum wine. If you are interested, you can bring them first I'll give you a taste. It's just that the time is not yet, and the fruit says that it tastes best when brewed for a year."

"I really want to try this. But with so many wine vats, can you put them in your yard? You have to move them into the house in winter, right?" Yan Zhen felt that he was definitely a good city lord who did his duty. It's time for the townspeople to think about it.

Hei Xiao knew that Yan Zhen was not simply asking for wine, so he answered along with him: "We are not repairing the cellar here. We will put these wine tanks in after repairing it. Don't worry, when the wine is real It's all brewed, and you can definitely taste the first bowl."

One of Yancheng's specialty products is high-alcohol sorghum baijiu. Everyone in Yancheng can drink alcohol, and they are also very interested in the topic of alcohol. Therefore, naturally many people are curious about the fact that ginkgo can be used to make wine from fruit.Sometimes when Guo Guo goes out to buy and pick things, someone will ask how ginkgo uses fruit to make wine, is it also spicy? sweet.

Although sorghum wine also has a sweet aftertaste, it does not have the sweetness of fruit or even sweet and sour.So the females are looking forward to these fruit wines.As a result, everyone's enthusiasm for collecting fruits has increased.Originally, the people on their side had no way to preserve the fruit in winter, so they didn't collect much. Now they can sell it to ginkgo fruit, and maybe they can drink fruit-flavored wine in winter, so why not do it.

After more than ten days of busy talking, the cellar of Heixiao's house was barely roofed, and it would take four or five days before it was fully completed.It's just that Hei Xiao and Guozi will follow the team to the tribe for more opportunities the next day.

This time, Wu Zhong led the team to the multi-tribal assembly, so the supervision of the construction could only be handed over to Fu Ling.Fu Ling and You Dai didn't go to the multi-tribal gathering, and Hei Xiao felt relieved to hand over their home to them.But the day before departure, Guozi specially prepared a large table of delicious food in order to thank everyone.

Beef tendon fried with wild pepper is more elastic than stewed beef tendon, full of bite.Moreover, the wild pepper is not only spicy, but also has a special fragrance, so a large pot of beef tendon will not feel greasy.Of course, this is just one of the dishes on the table.

The wild duck with braised duck meat was caught by Hei Xiao in the morning.The black-handed duck is much bigger than the ordinary teal, and even a few sizes bigger than the pointed-headed goose caught before.The fur of this kind of wild duck is snow-white and does not stick to water and soil. Many people like to use it as decorations and decorations.The fluff is collected and used as cotton wool, which is more warm than cotton.It's just that black-handed ducks only appear near Yancheng in this season, and it's also the season of breeding and laying eggs. The orcs abide by the rules of life and reproduction in the forest and will not hunt them wantonly, which makes duck down more expensive. Some, and no one sells them out.

Dried tofu is one of the home-cooked dishes in Yancheng.Regardless of the short period of half a month, Yan Zhen only allowed the workshop to sell [-] catties in the city every day.Even so, everyone in the city has already tasted it.Each of them didn't need the city lord to call, and they all said that next year their land must grow some soybeans.At that time, even if they don't sell it for money, they are willing to exchange it for dried tofu!The dried tofu served by Ke Guozi today is different from the one made by the city lord.He ran out of soybeans, so he had to go to the Douxiang Workshop to buy ready-made dried white beans, and then he used the soup for stewing tiger meat, adding old soup and pork bones to cook together.Pork bones and dried tofu are two dishes. After sprinkling spice powder on the pork bones, it tastes very different from just boiling.The dried tofu and pork bones both carried the magic energy of the chaotic tiger, and the taste was higher than ordinary food.

There's also a peanut beef dip made with peanuts and ground beef.Put a little chili and cumin powder, spread it on the steamed noodle cake, and put two slices of boiled beef in water, the staple food can also have a different taste and feeling.

The soup used to cook dried tofu and pork bones is a good thing. It not only has magical energy, but also has a strong taste. After the fruit is chopped, carrots, onions and various mushrooms are put in, and tender corn kernels are added at the end. It is said that the soup is not as good It is said to be a soup, and it can be said to be supremely delicious when eaten with bread.

It took an hour and a half for this meal.Guozi opened a jar of plum wine that had been brewed before for everyone to drink.The plum wine that has been soaked for half a year has turned from colorless to amber. In addition to the aroma of sorghum wine, everyone can smell the sour taste of fruit as soon as the jar is opened.

At first the males were skeptical about the plum-flavored wine.But when you really drink it, your eyes light up.This wine is especially suitable for eating with meat, and drinking this sweet and sour wine while gnawing on the bones, only two small bowls left by Ginkgo are left in this jar.This is for the city lord and master to taste.In the future, this may still be an important product they handed over to the caravan.

After eating and drinking enough, everyone went home.Bai Guo and Hei Xiao had to go on their way tomorrow, so no one stayed to chat with them to delay the rest time.

But after the two of them packed their things, they didn't have any intention of going to sleep.Guozi looked at her cellar, which had already been built with wooden beams, and was thinking about how to put more things in it so that they would not interfere with each other.

It's a little cooler at night now.The four seasons of Yancheng are distinct, but after all, they live in the beast city in the jungle. After the hottest month of summer has passed, it will be a bit chilly sooner or later.

Hei Xiao took a cup of hot water, leaned over and squatted next to Guo Guo and handed the cup over: "What are you looking at?"

Guozi replied: "I was just thinking, put the vegetables and fruits here, and put the wine there, otherwise it will be bad. The wine should be separated from those vegetables. If we dig all the houses under this side in the future, we will It’s convenient. A wine cellar is a wine cellar, and a vegetable cellar is a vegetable cellar.”

Although he didn't know why it was bad, Hei Xiao believed whatever Guozi said.

"Guozi, let's set off with Mr. Hu's grandfather tomorrow, we have to get up early, let's go rest now."

Guozi sighed: "I seem to be a little excited, not sleepy at all. But if this is the case, I will definitely feel uncomfortable on the road tomorrow."

Hei Xiao smiled and said: "Then practice. Not to mention the passing of time, it can still make you feel refreshed tomorrow. Fortunately, you don't get motion sickness now. If it's like when you went to Black Cloud City, I'm really worried."

Guozi took a sip of hot water: "The car is as fast as you. But I said I'll get used to it. Oh, yes, I promised to bring back the cloth of the rabbit tribe to Xiaohua and Nannan. You say, the rabbit Are people from the tribe more like me?"

Hei Xiao replied: "It's not the same. The male beasts of the Rabbit Tribe are also much bigger than you, and you still look like a female."

Guozi pursed her mouth: "I don't need to go into such detail, I didn't even ask you this."

Hei Xiao smiled: "The key is that the people of the Rabbit tribe are not as capable as you, nor are they as good-looking as you. It's just that they are also a very gentle race, which is somewhat similar to you."

"Since the orcs of the orc clan have some similarities with the beast state, our rabbits naturally have the character of a rabbit. It is very good. Although I have nothing to do with them and they are not the same, but I am still looking forward to it. .And there are aquariums, cows, cats, etc. you mentioned, etc., I am very curious!"

Hei Xiao touched the little rabbit's hair, stood up first, and then pulled him up: "Since you are curious, go back to the room to practice. You can fall asleep after you finish the practice, and you will have to wake up after falling asleep." We're on our way. We're getting closer to those other tribes."

There are 24 people in the caravan in Yancheng, and there are nine individual stalls, which means that they have ten stalls in Yancheng.Those who can set up stalls in multiple tribes must be approved by the city lord, and they must be representative.Last year the Hu family was a member of the caravan, but this year there is no Hu family, and it has become Bai Guo and Hei Xiao.Others haven't changed much.

Ten moose carts pulled everyone's load, and the males themselves carried two large baskets on their backs.There were not many females who followed, including the little male rabbit Bai Guo, there were only five of them. Guo Guo was arranged to sit with Xiang Shu from the sugar workshop.Xiang Shu's cane sugar is well-known far and wide.In particular, he put flowers in the sugar, not to mention the unique flavor of the sugar, Da Wu also said that some sugar has medicinal effects.Therefore, Xiang Shu and his partner will be invited to participate in the multi-tribe gatherings in recent years.

Because Guozi often goes to Xiang Shu to buy candy, the two of them are already familiar with each other. Sitting with people they know, Guozi no longer feels nervous.

"Grandpa Shu, where is the gathering of many tribes? They say it takes a long time to get there." Guozi handed Xiang Shu a cup of milk made with milk cake and asked.

Xiang Shu took it with a smile and took a sip before answering Guozi's question: "It depends on the weather and the situation on the road. Actually, it will take six days at the earliest, but sometimes it will take eight or nine days. But don't worry, we will arrive in advance It took eleven days to leave. So as long as you don’t encounter too much trouble, you will arrive on time or earlier.”

Guozi blinked: "Huh? Will there be trouble?"

Xiang Shu replied: "Of course. For example, there is a lot of heavy rain, and there is no way to travel quickly. For example, if you encounter a large monster, it will take time for the males to hunt. But the road we chose is that monsters are not frequent. haunted place, so don’t worry too much.”

Guozi nodded: "Well. I believe everyone is the best. So don't worry. It's the first time I go, I feel very curious."

Xiang Shu thought about Guo Zi's life experience and asked, "Didn't your father and mother take you to many tribal gatherings? What about your daily necessities except food?"

Guozi doesn't like to talk about this topic, and he doesn't know how to lie, but when people ask him, he has to say it.So he said with an awkward expression: "No, I didn't go, I bought them all in small places."

Xiang Shu thought that Guozi was sad because he talked about sad things.He also has some regrets: "Sorry. I shouldn't say this to make you sad. But you are a good boy and treat everyone so well. Your parents and father will definitely be proud of you."

This time the fruit blushed.No parent would be proud of lying about their children... Guozi complained silently in her heart.

The weather for the first two days was very good, with bright sun and high temperatures in the mid-day and early afternoon.Guozi will make some cold and refreshing side dishes for everyone every day.Maybe it's sweet and sour, maybe it's hot and sour. Although the males don't like things that are too sour, but when the weather is hot, the acidity of the fruit at home is just right. Addictive means.

At noon on the third day, the sun was still not partially covered, and they walked out of a forest to an open grassland.Without the shade from the trees, it was even hotter. I obviously felt that I should eat, but my appetite was not very good, so I asked for the fruit to make hot and sour appetizing cold dishes.

The refreshing side dishes in the first few days were all made of freshly picked fruits and vegetables in the forest.But when we got out of the forest, there were no fruit trees, and there seemed to be no vegetables in this grassland.Fruit is a little scratching his head.They only had dried vegetables and some apples and pears for snacks.Both of these are not hot and sour.

At [-] noon, everyone found a place with barely some shade and stopped to prepare lunch.Seeing Guozi's frown, Hei Xiao hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Guozi shook his head: "No. Everyone wants to eat hot and sour side dishes, but there are only three white radishes and apples and pears in the car. There are too few white radishes to eat, and apples and pears are okay to make sweet and sour dishes. I am a little troubled. "

Heixiao is much higher than Guozi, and his understanding of beast world plants must be incomparable to a few fruits.He looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Guozi, you can see that there are watermelons in the short grass near the river. If it doesn't work, eat watermelons to relieve the heat. Every summer when it's hot, everyone likes to eat watermelons." Watermelon. Watermelon chilled in well water is especially delicious."

Hearing watermelon, Ginkgo's eyes lit up: "Is there any watermelon? That's great! Then hurry up and pick some. Watermelon can be chewed and eaten, juiced to make snacks, watermelon skin can also be used for cold dishes, fried meat and dumpling stuffing It has a more fruity aroma than winter melon, but it's not sweet, and has a slightly sour taste."

Unexpectedly, there are so many ways to eat watermelon rind, so Hei Xiao became interested.Who made it so hot, his mouth was a little parched.But picking the watermelon and the two of them couldn't do it, so Hei Xiao called out, and Chi Ya and the other two males followed.Seeing the watermelon on the side, they also got hungry.

To say that the most greedy must be Thunder Sable.In the past three days, he has become very familiar with everyone in the caravan. Those who are familiar with Baiguo like Xiang Shu can hold it and pet it.Even those males will definitely not get too close to Warcraft, but they have no hostility or resistance to it. On the contrary, because Thunder Mink saved the little female before, they treat it very well.When eating, they always leave the best piece of meat for Thunder Mink.Without fear, all that remains is kindness.So when the big guys saw Thunder Sable hugging a watermelon, gnawed a big hole in the skin of the watermelon and stuck his head in to eat the watermelon meat, they all laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs.

Knowing that everyone is laughing at him, Thunder Sable is out of control.Mink is not one of you who can cut watermelon with a knife, what's so funny about eating melons in his own way!Humans really don't love minks!As a result, some Thunder Sable children who had already started to grow their self-esteem backed their heads out of the watermelon hole, and looked at the master beside them with big eyes, and their small eyes were extremely wronged. 'They laugh mink! '

Guozi also laughed.It's really that Thunder Sable's appearance is too cute.These days, he ate well and drank well, and received a lot of spiritual power replenishment almost every day. Thunder Mink's fur was already bright silver.But now it's covered with red watermelon juice, and the watery appearance is very funny.It's ridiculous, but Guozi can't keep Thunder Sable like this, so he picked up the little guy and brought him to the river.

"Why are you in a hurry. I'll cut it open and eat it for you in a while. Look, it's all covered with watermelon juice. I'll wash it for you, don't make trouble."

Thunder Sable saw his "ugly" reflection in the water, and was greatly hurt psychologically. 'Sable be beautiful!Not ugly! '

Guozi smiled even more happily.

"Don't move around, it will be washed soon, close your eyes. Be good."

Looking at the fruit by the water to bathe Thunder Mink.Wu Zhong asked everyone to cut up the watermelon and eat first, while he went to Hei Xiao's side.

"Guozi is a good female, and she will be a good mother and father in the future. Look at how kind he is to Thunder Sable."

Hei Xiao was a little dumbfounded.Let alone whether his own little rabbit can have cubs, just saying that he treats Thunder Sable well is already almost like his own son.

"Thunder minks are different from ordinary monsters after all."

Wu Zhong sighed: "It's a blessing for this little guy to have you two taking care of him. If it's someone else... Forget it, let's not talk about it, you watch the camp, I'll take a few people to go around and see There are no chickens and ducks to hunt, so it’s better to eat this on such a hot day.”

Hei Xiao nodded: "You go. I won't be in danger here."

Guozi washed the thunder mink and came back, only to find that a few people were missing.

"Eh? What about Mr. Hu and the others?" Putting the thunder mink on the moose cart, not allowing it to get down to the ground and soil now, Guo Guo asked while wiping the fur mink with a sackcloth.

"I went hunting. I'll be back in a while. Now everyone has cut up the watermelon. What do you think? It's impossible to eat all the flesh, so I won't be able to eat much, and I will always want to go .” Hei Xiao said.

Guo Guo looked at the twenty or so melons that had been cut open, and had an idea: "That's right. Uncle Fu has a clay pot. Can I borrow one to put watermelon juice in? I put the first drop of Tianshu in it. Make more like this." Watermelon juice, we can drink it in the next few days. But Uncle Fu’s earthenware pot is for sale, so I don’t know if it will work.”

Pu Fan, a friend who happened to be Fu, came over and answered Guozi's words with a smile: "It's just a few jars, use whatever you want. Besides, they can be sold after washing. The earthenware pots are only good when they are boiled and firm. We used to have each of them. Tried boiling water."

Bai Guo quickly thanked: "Thank you, Uncle Fan! Then I will go to make watermelon juice now, and then use those melon rinds to make melon rind fried pork, hot and sour melon strips. Ah yes, let's eat cold noodles at noon. I just gave The little mink took a bath, the river water is very cold and very clear, after the noodles are cooked, put them in a basin, and then put the basin in the river water to freeze it, and it will be very cool. I see there are some mint leaves by the river. When making watermelon juice, add a little bit to it, and it will taste cooler. But today is really hot, so I will cook another big pot of mung bean soup. Although it is not cool when drinking, it is comfortable after drinking. Yes Good stuff to beat the heat.”

Pu Fan smiled and took Bai Guo's arm: "You know a lot, kid. Let's go, I'll help you."

Guozi nodded with a smile, and followed Pufan to the watermelon.Thunder Sable, who was still being groomed by his master just now, fell out of favor in an instant, and Xiao Mink looked at the big master who was also ignored, and instantly became more balanced.Mink is not alone!
