Searching for food through the beast world

Vein of the Beast God

Ding Xiao didn’t have Pixian bean paste, but he chopped some dried chilies and fried them with spicy bean paste and red mahua paste to make a spicy sauce.Of course, he carefully preserved the chili seeds in the dried chili peppers. This is a major issue related to whether there will be chili seeds next year!

Put butter in a pottery frying spoon, fry the beef cubes until the surface turns white, then put the spicy sauce in the pot and stir fry the red oil.Looking at the red beef cubes in the pot and smelling the refreshing aroma in the air, Ding Xiao swallowed several times.Even Kun on the side couldn't help coming over: "Smile, let's take this fried meat. I want to eat it." You don't need to put it in your mouth, just smelling it is enough to explain the problem.

Ding Xiao nodded: "Yeah. Then get some more peppers, and remember to collect the seeds. I'll make more spicy sauce for later use."

There is no such thing as tempeh. Even if you have soybeans now, you don’t know how to make tempeh.So he decided to use a bit of olive greens instead of tempeh to round out the spicy flavor.After putting in a spoonful of olives, Ding Xiao sprinkled a handful of crushed dried chilies, stir-fried evenly, and then scooped out the solidified "thick soup treasure" from the jar on the side, and poured a little water into it .

Ding Xiao likes the beany smell of tofu, and Kun also thinks it is very good after trying tofu.So Ding Xiao didn't deal with the taste of tofu at all, but directly put the cut tofu cubes into the pot.He is more worried that this tofu is made of jelly roots, and it will melt if heated for a long time, so the frying speed is very fast.After adding soy sauce, stir-fry for more than 1 minute, then thicken it with pearl fruit flour, and let it out of the pan!

Facing this large plate of freshly baked tofu with a red glow "full of face", Ding Xiao suddenly felt very moved. Although he would not return to the modern times and the familiar land, he would still find more things he was familiar with in his previous life. thing.In fact, this is not only a proof of the past, but also a proof of my future here.Maybe a few decades is not long for people in the orc world, but I can use my short life to leave delicious memories for more people here.At least my family and friends will not lose their favorite flavors because of my departure.

Seeing a trace of sadness on Ding Xiao's face, Kun immediately hugged Ding Xiao into his arms. "It's okay, we can look for the miracle left by the beast god, maybe you can live as long as us." At least no matter how he looked, he couldn't see any difference in Xiaoxiao.Why do you say that you can only live for about 100 years?No, you still have to think of a good reason and ask the priest, there will be a solution!

Ding Xiao nodded: "Okay. As long as there is hope, I will look for it with you. The most important thing now is to taste how it tastes. Come on, take the first bite if it's cheap!"

The tofu made from jelly roots made Ding Xiao feel mixed.Because he didn't reheat the jelly or broth jelly he made before, even in the "Big Soup", he only put a part of the jelly root, and it took a long time to melt in the pot just now.So he doesn't know if this melt-in-the-mouth but somewhat chewy jelly will be reheated and completely melted.Now it has been confirmed that there will be melting, but it will not melt too much. Generally, the problem is not big, but the shape of the tofu block has almost become a tofu ball.However, the tofu balls did not continue to melt under the continued high temperature of the hot soup and hot oil. It is estimated that the jelly root may have a chemical reaction with the soy milk itself.

Ding Xiao felt that such tofu could not be made into other soy products at all, and he still had to look for gypsum and bittern.He knows that both seawater and salt lake water can produce brine, but the problem is that the salt here is extracted from vegetables, so the latter is very difficult.Unless you can find saline lakes or salt mines in the Mavericks territory.But plaster, he thought, should be available.In terms of the fact that gypsum can be used as medicine, the sky eye should be able to see it.

After the mapo tofu and spicy pork slices are on the table, the whole shed is full of spicy aroma.Joan and He Ti sniffed their noses several times. Although they felt a little choked, they felt much clearer after smelling it.One person scooped up a spoonful of tofu, and the taste of it was fragrant, spicy, numb, soft and fresh, which surprised the two of them.Joan couldn't help asking: "Xiaoxiao, this spicy taste is a bit like your previous hot sauce. This tofu is delicious."

He always liked spicy food, so he was naturally extremely satisfied with this tofu. "You gave everything a name before, what is this one called?"

Ding Xiao replied: "This is called Mapo Tofu!" Although his own cooking is too unauthentic and the ingredients are not all right, it's good to have the meaning.I just tasted it myself, although the gap is quite big, but the taste is still quite good.

Joan didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Ding Xiao explained: "This tofu dish was created by a female surnamed Chen in our country...our tribe a long, long time ago. Because of the pockmarks on her face, people called her Chen Mapo, and the tofu she made was called Ma. Po tofu."

Po is a respectful title for older females in the orc world, so they understand this explanation very well. "Then let's call it spicy tofu from now on," Kun suggested.

Ding Xiao froze for a moment, but then smiled. "That's fine. Anyway, what I make doesn't look like it." If you insist on calling it Mapo Tofu, you have to explain something. It's really troublesome.The key is that although the taste of his own cooking is acceptable, he still has self-knowledge. "Come and try this tofu mixed with olives and vegetables." He thinks that the two halves of the tofu taste better.

Ever since Ding Xiao confessed his origin and longevity to the three people.These three people began to take care of Xiaoxiao in an all-round and three-dimensional way.

When Kun and He went hunting, Joan would take Ding Xiao to the safe zone.Of course, he would not allow Ding Xiao to get close to the water when fishing. If it was too cold, he would get sick. He couldn't watch his baby cubs go wrong.However, when encountering prey occasionally, he still seriously passed on his hunting experience to Xiaoxiao.After all, he will learn to hunt next year, and it must be good to comprehend it earlier.

If Kun didn't have to go hunting, he must be the one who followed Ding Xiao.So when Luxi and Jing came to find Ding Xiao, they usually acted together as six people.It is really eye-catching from a distance.

At first, Ding Xiao noticed the villagers' eyes and attitude towards them, but after a while, he got used to it. After all, few people showed displeasure.Most of the elders have a very gratifying attitude.As for the faces of various "rivals in love", he memorized them all by the way.Originally, he thought it was not difficult to remember or not, but Jing and Luxi didn't think so.In particular, Jing also introduced to him that those two people like shingles, and that one likes peaks.And that male seems to have a crush on Luxi too... In short, blah blah blah is all kinds of gossip.

Ding Xiao deeply felt that it would be absolutely fine for this kid Jing to run a gossip magazine in modern times.Really... I don't care about these things, okay!

At the beginning, Kun still didn't like Jing and Lvxi talking about these topics very much.Because this would make Xiaoxiao unhappy, and it wouldn't be worth it if she got angry with herself, since she obviously hadn't said anything to those people.But then he found that sometimes Xiaoxiao would sneak a glance at himself with pursed lips, and this look and gaze instantly made him feel chilled from the heart. He likes himself!Ha ha!And knowing what those people think, I can avoid contact with them in the future, so Xiaoxiao won't be really annoyed, which is actually quite good.

As a result, the wind of gossip intensified under the acquiescence of Boss Kun, and finally it has risen to the various emotional worlds among other children and even the elders in the neighborhood in Tianhe Village.

That's why it's said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes... Uh... No, it's gossip...

Tian Kun didn't patrol and hunt with the team this day, so he accompanied Ding Xiao to the priest to teach the priest to paint.

Although the progress is relatively slow, Fuji still insists on learning to draw.At least one picture is drawn every day, and this has become one of the greatest pleasures in her life now.Except for getting medicine and occasionally seeing a doctor for the villagers, she spends almost all the rest of her time painting.

Although Ge Zhong and Teng did not form a partner or live together every day, Ge Zhong took care of Teng's daily life, especially the food.Although he was very reluctant to have Teng busy with this and toss about that every day, he felt that it was great to have this opportunity to be with Teng almost all day long.So I thought Ding Xiao was a good kid, and now I like it even more. (Hearts of males...)

When Kun and Ding Xiao came to the priest's house, Ge Zhong was drying herbs in a bamboo basket.Just the silhouette from the side can make people feel that he is so happy.What an easy-to-satisfy male!

Ding Xiao greeted: "Uncle Ge Zhong, hello!"

Ge Zhong knew early on that Kun had arrived, and it was hard to tell the difference between the half-orc and the female's breath before they married their partner.But the personal breath of an adult male is very clear.Of course, this is limited to the special olfactory nerves used by males to distinguish between friend and foe, not really a taste. "It's Xiaoxiao and Kun, come and find the rattan, right? She is painting in the room, go in."

Having known the sacrificial priest for so long, Ding Xiao already knew the relationship between Ge Zhong and the sacrificial priest.He thought the two were a good match.And this kind of silently guarding the sacrifice for more than 200 years, this persistence alone is very moving.But according to Kunna, generally if the priest is female, there are not many people who get married early, and it is not uncommon for vines to do so.And Teng said before that she will not get married until she finds a successor, so that when her apprentice learns to share her worries, she can give her partner more time.Although she always felt sorry for Ge Zhong, many female priests were also like this.

When she saw the rattan, she was really concentrating on drawing on the table, and there were obviously two completed drawings beside it.Just for this hard work, Ding Xiao believes that Teng will never be worse than himself in the future.In fact, it's pretty good. After I taught Luxi and Sacrificial Church, they taught sketches to others, which can be regarded as one of my contributions in this world. "Wow, the drawing is much better than the first few days! The progress is so fast!"

Hearing the approval, Fuji immediately smiled.Originally, the appearance of orcs didn't change much before they were four hundred years old, so although there were more than 200 priests, their appearance still looked like a young woman under 30 years old in Ding Xiao's opinion.It's just that he's physically stronger than himself.But the sacrificial priest who smiled is really beautiful! "You two came together? Sit down quickly. I have nothing else to do today, so I drew two more pictures. Xiaoxiao is right, and if you keep drawing, you will get better every day. Now I also feel that I didn't take the pen before. So tired."

That's right.Holding the charcoal sticks like holding a stick, it's no wonder I'm not tired. "I see, it won't be long before you and Luxi will be better than me."

At Kun's request, Teng asked Ge Zhong to drag Ding Xiao to the kitchen on the grounds of teaching how to cook food.The two of them talked in the room.

Teng asked: "Why do you have to dismiss Xiaoxiao?"

Kun's face was paralyzed with a blush miraculously: "Smile and say I don't know how to kiss. Why...is it called kiss?"

Teng immediately laughed out loud after listening to the play. "Why do you ask me this kind of thing? You can ask your father."

Kun said seriously: "You are a priest, you must know." After speaking, he turned his eyes to the door, which was facing the kitchen.

Fuji also blushed slightly.Although there have been no rituals between me and Ge Zhong for so many years, there are occasional couples.With the orc's perception of breath, she has nothing to be curious about.It's just, what kind of eyes does this brat Kun have! ! ! "Okay, you bow your head and I will tell you with a smile."

Listening to the priest's "teaching" in his ears, Kun's eyes were shining, and he was eager to try.His eyes kept glancing at the kitchen, and finally he used a sentence as a priest: "You can look at the rest yourself, but Xiaoxiao is too young, you can't do other things. Also, Xiaoxiao's body is too thin , When the matter between the partners becomes stronger, we will talk about it. Do you understand?" After that, he calmed down.Alas, who made my partner's body thin and still a cub?

Kun nodded.Although I always want to get Xiaoxiao as soon as possible, it is definitely not something that a male will do to hurt his partner!Especially for myself, it was not easy for Xiaoxiao to begin with, how could I be willing to let him suffer a little bit. "Yeah. I know. By the way, have you heard of orcs who die before they are two hundred years old?"

Teng was taken aback, but then nodded: "It is written in the divine scroll that when the world first opened, everyone's lifespan was short. People will reach maturity at ten years old, age at 30 years old, and die at 50 years old. Later It is because of the coming of the Beast God that you can prolong your lifespan and change your life. Why do you think of asking this?"

Kun calmly said: "Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered in the past two days that many people in his former tribe seemed to have not lived to be two hundred years old, and they began to age rapidly at the age of five or sixty. Some would die before they were one hundred years old. .He fears he will too."

Fuji immediately frowned.Xiaoxiao remembers this kind of thing, and must feel very sad.It seems that Xiaoxiao's tribe must have many orcs suffering from atavism.But no matter how she sees Ding Xiao, he is no different from the orcs here, and he is absolutely healthy.Even the double pulses on the wrists are normal, and he is not a person suffering from atavism at all. "In the history of our winged tiger clan, there have been several orcs with atavism, and they are indeed half-orcs and females. They are like ordinary people at the beginning, but they have gradually aged since they were 20 years old, and The symptoms are very obvious. After the age of 20, their height stops growing, but their hair and beard grow very fast, until they are 50 years old, they are almost the same as 450-year-old people. But they all have a common defect that is only one pulse, according to According to the records in the medical records, these people were not blessed by the beast gods like their ancestors at the beginning of the world, and they did not have the veins of the beast gods, so they aged very quickly. But I can be sure that Xiaoxiao has dual veins. But When I first diagnosed him, one of the pulses was indeed weak, but since he woke up from a coma after eating stones, he has become as healthy as everyone else."

Kun's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "That means Xiaoxiao has the same life span as everyone else?"

Teng nodded: "He is no different from us, why doesn't he have such a long life? You see, Xiaoxiao has been here for several months, and his hair hasn't grown much, and you haven't seen him start to grow a beard? And I think he has grown a bit. Although he is not as fast as Jing and Luxi, it should be because he eats less, and he has just recovered from his poor health. Otherwise, tell me what I said He, and then measure his height every ten days and carve it on the pillar. See if he will grow taller when next spring comes. Will his hair and beard grow fast? If he is still like other half-orcs , you won’t worry any more.”

Kun nodded immediately: "Okay!"

Teng sighed: "Actually, Xiaoxiao is the envoy given to us by the Beast God! He came to us with great difficulty. How could the Beast God allow him to have such a short life?"

Kun looked at Teng's unusually serious and serious expression, and suddenly felt that the sacrifice might be right.Xiaoxiao was brought by the Beast God from that magical place to give to his beloved baby.How could he leave so early? "Sacrifice, you won't say what you just said to other people, will you?"

Teng smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Xiaoxiao will always marry and live with you in our Tianhe Village safely and peacefully. He is just the son picked up by Qiong and He, an ordinary half-orc with a very smart mind."
