Chapter 43 Sweet Potato Food

Xiao Luo walked around the first stone mill in the beastman world, nodded, the edge was not carefully polished, it looked a bit rough, but it was fine.Said to Reya: "Reya, this is called a stone mill. Later, throw the sweet potato into pieces through the hole on the top, and grind slowly. Put the juice from the grinding in a clay pot."

"Is this called a stone mill?" Reya glanced at what he had made, a little curious, what can such a thing be used for.

"Yes, you can grind many things." Xiao Luo took out a sweet potato from the bag, chopped it on the stool, and threw it into the hole above the stone mill, "Leiya, try it."

"Okay." Reya walked to the edge of the stone mill, looking at the stone mill, he didn't know what to do, and looked at Xiao Luo with blue eyes, looking very innocent.

"Um, I forgot to make a piece of wood to push it." Xiao Luo patted her forehead with a smile, and told Rhea how to use the wood.Rhea nodded, carried a tree from the woods, broke it several times, and made a hole corresponding to the size of the wood at the position of the stone mill that Xiao Luo said, and inserted the wood into it. Even if the grinding is really done.

Ortega came out of the house, looked at them curiously, walked over and pointed at the stone mill that Rhea was pushing, and said, "What is this?" Fei Meng followed behind him, and nodded lightly to Rhea and Xiao Luo. size.

"Shi Mo, you haven't seen it before." Xiao Luo raised her head and said while cutting sweet potatoes.

"What did you do with the sweet potato in it?" Ortega dipped his finger in the juice from the sweet potato, put it in his mouth and tasted it, it was a bit sweet.

"You'll know in the future." Xiao Luo pretended that she wanted to make steamed meat with sweet potato powder, at least a few days, just to filter the ground sweet potato juice and those things, and dry it, it would take a few days .If it rains, the time will have to be extended.

"Want to help?" Fermont looked at Rhea and asked.

"No need." Rhea shook her head, for the orcs, this job is very easy.

Ortega has seen Xiao Luo's delicacies made by using various wild vegetables and mushrooms. Now seeing him tossing sweet potatoes so hard, he immediately brought a bone knife from his home and helped cut sweet potatoes.Outega felt that it was absolutely right to follow Xiao Luo in terms of food.

Of the two big bags of sweet potatoes, Xiao Luo kept more than half of them for making dried sweet potatoes later, and asked Rhea to grind the rest.After grinding more than one bag of sweet potatoes, all the empty clay pots in the house were filled with sweet potato juice and grated sweet potato skin. Even Ortega contributed a few clay pots.

Karl sat on Ryder's beast form and fell from the sky.Xiao Luo greeted with a smile, Carl came over and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Ortega told Carl what they were doing before Xiao Luo, and Carl said, "Xiao Luo, do you think this can be used?" He took out a roll of things from the bag in his hand Pass it to Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo took it, her eyes widened in surprise, the roll in her hand, if you read it correctly, should be linen, but there was linen, Xiao Luo asked excitedly: "Carl, where did you get this thing?" I thought of many things. With linen, I can make clothes, pants, shoes, etc., and I don’t need to wear animal skins every day.Xiao Luo was extremely excited at this moment.

"This is from my brother." Karl didn't understand why Xiao Luo was so excited. It was brought back today by his brother who married the Yu clan.He thought it was a novelty, so he asked for a piece.

"Does your brother still have it? Oh, where did your brother get this thing?" Xiao Luo held Carl's hand, her big eyes sparkling with excitement.

"I didn't ask, this was recently made by the Yu Clan." Karl said helplessly.

"Oh, is the Yu family far away from us?" Xiao Luo looked at the linen cloth in her hand. This piece of linen is already quite well-made, and it is very densely woven. It can be seen that the handicraft of this Yu family is very good.

"It will be here in a few hours." Ortega stood next to Xiao Luo, looking at the things in his hands together, "Xiao Luo, do you know what this is?"

"This is called sackcloth, and it can be used to make clothes, pants, shoes, and many other things." Xiao Luo replied with a very cheerful tone, and it was finally time to bid farewell to the days of animal skin clothes.

With sackcloth, filtering sweet potato juice is much easier.Xiao Luo asked Rhea and Fei Meng to pull the four corners of the sackcloth and stand on both sides of a large wooden basin. Under Xiao Luo's command, Ryder poured the sweet potato juice and sweet potato rind in the clay pot into the sackcloth, and then added water. .Rhea and Feimeng Ze Xiaoluo slowly shook the sweet potato rind in the sackcloth from side to side.

Karl and Ortega watched the novelty, and Ortega yelled at Fermont to try it too, but it turned out that the indifferent Fermont ignored him completely. This kind of work is not suitable for females at all. It caused Ortega to pinch Phemon's strong arm several times.

A lot of people means a lot of strength. Several large jars of sweet potato peel and juice were quickly filtered out, and five large wooden basins were filled.

Even though the male was physically strong and had been shaking for so long, Rhea and Fermont felt a little sore in the arm muscles.Ortega kneaded Femeng's arm by the side, Rhea looked envious, and looked at Xiao Luo, hoping that Xiao Luo could give him a good squeeze.

Xiao Luo didn't notice Rhea's eyes. At this moment, he was busy covering several wooden basins with well-breathable animal skins. He thought in his heart that when the starch solidifies and drains the water inside, there will be starch. , and then dry the starch, you can make sweet potato powder to cook meat, and you can also use starch to make meatballs. It is really possible to achieve a lot of food.

Karl saw that Xiao Luo liked the piece of cloth, so he stayed, told Xiao Luo and the others with Ryder, and went home.Ortega dragged Fermont to keep it.

Xiao Luo walked up to Reya, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Reya, didn't you pick a kind of fruit called pink fruit last time? Go and take it out. I'll make it delicious tonight. By the way , and honey, let's take it out together." Looking at the sweet potatoes in the bag, Xiao Luo thought of candied sweet potatoes and fried sweet potato balls, and he planned to make these two things for dinner at night.

Rhea got up and went to the cellar to get powdered fruit and honey. Ortega's eyes lit up, and she asked happily, "Xiao Luo, do you want to make something delicious again?"

Xiao Luo wiped the knife clean with the animal skin, looked at Ortega's shining brown eyes, and couldn't help laughing, this guy, with his monstrous face, made such an expression, just like a Barbie doll.Xiao Luo patted his head, and said in the tone of an adult coaxing a child: "Good boy, you'll find out later."

"Go." Ortega waved and patted Xiao Luo's hand on his head.

"Hey." Xiao Luo smiled and took her hands away, saying, "Outega, how is your handwork?" Seeing the piece of linen that Karl gave him, Xiao Luo thought of cloth shoes.

When he was in the countryside, his grandmother would make cloth shoes for him every year according to the size of his feet. He didn't know the specific production steps, but he probably knew.He has been wearing sneakers from the time he traveled from the earth. After wearing them for a long time, he feels that his feet are covered with smell. In this orc world, there is no so-called shoes. All males are barefoot, or Wrap a piece of animal skin around the foot.The females wrap their feet with a piece of animal skin, which makes their feet uncomfortable even when he looks at them.The breathability of animal skin is worse than that of sports shoes, and the soles of the feet are not as thick as sports shoes. Not to mention covering your feet, walking on the road with small stones will definitely hurt your feet.

"Is it okay, what do you want to do?" Ortega took a sweet potato from the bag and washed it, and asked while eating.Every female has to be taught handwork by her parents or elders since she is sensible. Her handwork can't keep up with Rory, but the things she makes can be sold.

Xiao Luo told him about the idea of ​​cloth shoes, and after hearing it, Ortega immediately wanted to pull him to start making.Walking with his feet wrapped in animal skins, he would often be pierced by some gravel, and he would be stabbed by sharp thorns when he was not careful when going up the mountain.Now that there is such a good thing, he can't wait to make it and wear it right away.

"No rush, we'll make it after dinner." Xiao Luo understood Ortega's mood, and he also wanted to make the shoes and put them on right away.

"Then you have to teach me how to make those cloth shoes tonight." Ortega nodded helplessly. If Xiao Luo didn't make it with him, he couldn't make it by himself.

As the sky gradually darkened, animal bone lamps were lit in the room. Xiao Luo asked Rhea to call Carl and the others over, and asked them to try his candied sweet potatoes and fried sweet potato balls.

Candied sweet potatoes need sugar.There is no white sugar here, Xiao Luo thought, it should be the same if it is replaced with honey.He asked Rhea to light the fire, found a shallow earthenware pot to use as a pot, and set it on the fire.

Xiao Luo cut a piece of fat from the horned pork that Rhea took out, chopped it up with a knife, threw it into the burnt clay pot, and used it to refine oil.Ortega sat on the side with Carl, holding the sackcloth in his hand and carefully drying it near the fire, preparing to make shoes after dinner.

Rhea wanted to help, but he didn't know where to start. He had never done what Xiao Luo was going to do, but he watched Xiao Luo busy to and fro. Do it, let Xiao Luo rest.

Xiao Luo chose a few sweet potatoes, peeled and washed them, drained the water and cut them into strips, took out the fat that had been deep-fried in the pan, and put them into a pottery bowl on the side.Throw the cut sweet potato into the pot, and suddenly there is a sizzling sound of oil. Xiao Luo turns the sweet potato with a wooden spoon. When the sweet potato is fried, take it out and put it in a ceramic bowl. Come out, leave only a little bit, then pour in the honey prepared on one side, add some water to boil sugar water.

When the syrup became thick, Xiao Luo immediately threw the fried sweet potato strips into it and quickly stir-fried them. After a while, a burst of sweet fragrance came out from inside.Ortega sniffed, threw the linen to Carl, and sniffed it closer, "Xiao Luo, it smells so good, what is it called?"

"Hehe, this is called candied sweet potato, move your head away so you don't get burned." Xiao Luo looked at the puppy-like Ortega with a funny face, and pushed his head aside, which was about to get into the pot.And not afraid to burn that beautiful golden hair.

"I really want to eat it." Ortega stared at the candied sweet potatoes in the pot, and swallowed.

Xiao Luo ignored him, turned her hands quickly, and saw that the sweet potato strips were wrapped in sticky sugar water, she took the pottery bowl on the side and filled them.Ortega couldn't wait to pick up a piece with his hands and threw it into his mouth. He was so hot that he couldn't bear to throw away the sweet potato sticks. "Delicious."

"Hey, don't finish eating." Xiao Luo hurriedly pushed away Ortega's hand that was still reaching into the bowl, and said with a glare, "You guy, eat together after I finish cooking."

"Okay, okay, let me eat another one." Ortega looked at Xiao Luo flatteringly, and quickly picked another one and threw it into his mouth under his helpless eyes.

Then Xiao Luo started to make fried sweet potato balls.This little snack is often made for him by his grandmother, a very simple rural snack.

According to the procedure that she saw her grandmother do in memory, Xiao Luo cut sweet potatoes into pieces and boiled them in water, then scooped them up and crushed them, split the powdered fruits, blended them with water and poured them into the crushed sweet potatoes, and added two more Spoon honey and stir well.Pour the oil into the pan, squeeze the crushed sweet potatoes into small balls with your hands, and throw them into the oil pan.

The pink fruit is the size of an apple and is pink in color. It can be kept for half a month if it is picked off, and it has a delicate fragrance. It is regarded as an ornamental fruit by females.The pink fruit at home was picked by Rhea to curry favor with Xiao Luo. Xiao Luo curiously cut open the pink fruit and found that the pulp inside was actually something similar to potato starch, so she immediately asked Rhea to pick some back.

Seeing that Rhea was on the sidelines wanting to help, but she didn't know where to start, Xiao Luo hooked the corners of her lips and said with a smile, "Reya, help me flip the balls in the pot with a spoon."

"Okay." Reya immediately smiled and took the spoon from Xiao Luo, carefully flipping the small balls in the pot.

When the fried sweet potato balls were ready and Xiao Luo brought two snacks to the table, Ortega sat down at the table impatiently.Seeing Xiao Luo approaching with a bowl, her eyes followed the bowl in his hand.

"Hey, don't act like a foodie, please, please be considerate of your face." Xiao Luo put the two snacks on the table, seeing Outega's impatient look, said angrily.

"I'm not fussing with you now." Ortega rolled her eyes at Xiaoluo, and said, looking at the two desserts on the table.

Xiao Luo was speechless, Carl put away the drying linen, came over and said with a smile, "Ortega likes sweet things."

"No wonder." Xiao Luo suddenly realized that this guy was a sweet tooth just like a little girl.

Ortega ate almost all of the two snacks. The three males ate only one and then went to barbecue by the fire. They still like meat.Carl is the oldest among the three, so as an elder brother, he will always subconsciously let Xiaoluo and Ortega go.

Outega was two years older than Xiao Luo, but he didn't have any sense of brotherhood, and competed with Xiao Luo to finish two snacks.

After eating, Outejia licked his lips with unsatisfied desire, "Xiao Luo, make more next time, it's delicious."

"No, I'll teach you, you do it yourself." Xiao Luo looked at the two empty bowls, and glared at Ortega unwillingly. He worked so hard for so long, but he didn't eat much.This guy is not afraid of being scalded to death.
