Chapter 97: Making cold skewers
Xunyu took the initiative to change the topic, and Su Yu didn’t ask too much. He nodded: “You can make a little bit first to give it a try.”
The market is open. The time is not long, and there are not a few days left. If you make it sooner, you can start selling it sooner.
Xunyu also knew that the Yihu tribe's market would not be open for long, so he asked Su Yu how big the meat should be cut into, what kinds of vegetables should be added, and how to make the soup.
Su Yu was afraid that they had cut into too big pieces and the soup would not taste good by then. After drinking all the water in the cup, he came to Shi Wei who had brought out a piece of animal meat and put it on the piece of meat. Comparing the size: "Just cut it as big as my palm."
"Don't be too thick, be a little thin, otherwise the soup won't be able to soak in the flavor."
As he said that, Su Yu compared the thickness of the meat slices.
"Yuyu, what are the wood requirements for skewering the meat skewers?" Shengqing was not idle and stood up to ask.
"Don't be too thick, one end needs to be sharpened." Su Yu thought for a while and compared the distance with him with his fingers.
In fact, it is better to use bamboo or iron skewers to make skewers, but she observed that there were no bamboo forests around the Yihu tribe, so she had to make them with wood.
Xunyu washed the meat and various vegetables and eggs, Shengqing found suitable wood, and Shi Wei was responsible for cutting the meat and vegetables into suitable sizes.
Huaixu, who had been invisible and silent, looked at them all doing their own things, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He came to Su Yu and quietly asked: "Is there anything you need my help with?"
Su Yu turned around to see him, with a smile on his face: "Of course I can." ! But I don’t need your help now. I’ll call you over when the skewers are ironed.”
Huaixu’s talent is ice. Leng Chuan Chuan can be of great help later. .
Wait, ice? !
Su Yu's mind flashed back to the various milk tea ice drinks he saw in supermarkets and milk tea shops in his previous life.
She couldn't help but stare at Huai Xu with bright eyes, recalling the shaved ice she had eaten when she was craving for food in the summer. It was cold and refreshing, and it was an excellent summer treat!
Huaixu clearly felt the change in Su Yu's aura, and when he saw her eyes suddenly shining and staring at him closely, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
She, she...has a crush on him?
But he is not yet an adult. If she wants him to do something, he...
To comply or not to comply?
Su Yu didn't notice at all that her appearance made Huaixu's mind wander. When she thought of those various cold drinks, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She was about to excitedly ask Huaixu if he could get some ice cubes so she could try making shaved ice, but then she suddenly remembered——
She didn’t have any sugar yet.
The source of sugar for females in the beast world is fruits from the wild.
They can’t make serious candy.
Su Yu had seen how to make brown sugar and white sugar, but she - there were no raw materials.
She has not discovered sugar beet or sugar cane in this world for the time being.
Sugar cannot be made yet.
When Su Yu thought about it, he instantly collapsed like a deflated rubber ball, and his gleaming eyes slowly dimmed.
Huaixu didn't know what she was thinking. Seeing her like this, his heart sank slightly.
What is her expression? Are you dissatisfied with him?
Huaixu opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but he remembered that he was not qualified to ask now, so he could only go back and continue processing the animal skins with a sullen face.
When Su Yu recovered from his troubled thoughts, he saw Huaixu's expressionless face and gloomy eyes.
She scratched her head, looking confused.
Who provoked him again?
-
The three beastmen are all very capable. Su Yu saw the stone table piled with meat on the way and thought that if he wanted to sell cold skewers, he would have to make a few more. Here comes the big tub.
It was not easy to get the wooden basins, so Su Yu asked Xunyu to help make several wooden barrels, and put the skewered meat and vegetable skewers into the barrels.
Su Yu even started skewering several skewers with great interest.
As a result, Shi Wei picked out those few skewers and put them aside, euphemistically saying that these skewers would be left for them to taste later. The orcs outside were not qualified to eat the food made by the female hands.
It made Su Yu blush.
Because I had just eaten, I didn’t make much cold skewers this time, only one bucket. For meat skewers that are not easy to taste, use the remaining seasoning from today's beggar's chicken to marinate for a while.
When the ingredients were ready, Su Yu started making simple soup.
Logically speaking, the authentic cold skewers base recipe requires the use of lettuce oil, green onions, ginger slices, garlic cloves, dried safflower, dried chili peppers, rock sugar, various spices, tempeh, and rice wine etc.
But Su Yu doesn’t have these yet, so he can only make a simple version of the base, mixed with various seasonings brought from the Lianshui tribe, plus the large bone soup made by Shi Wei temporarily , made a beastly version of simple cold skewers soup.
Then, Su Yu used the bone soup cooked by Shi Wei to boil the prepared vegetables.
When it came out of the pot, it was placed in a wooden bucket containing the soup. Huaixu was asked to help add several ice cubes to it, quickly cooling down the still hot skewers.
The aroma of the cold skewers was not as overpowering as the beggar's chicken when it was freshly cooked, but it still had its own special aroma. Su Yu, who was already full, couldn't hold back and picked up a bunch of egg slices and opened his mouth to bite.
The moment she bit it, Shi Wei took the egg slice from her hand and let her bite it empty.
Su Yu looked confused: "?"
Shi Wei held the egg slices calmly: "It's too cold. If you want to eat it, I'll heat it up for you."
What do you call cold skewers if you don’t eat them cold?
Su Yu: "..."
Su Yu's body became much healthier after pregnancy. She had forgotten how fragile her body was, but...
She looked at it eagerly. Shi Wei: "I'll just take a bite."
Looking at her greedy appearance, Shengqing couldn't help but look away and walked to the side, pretending to be busy.
He was afraid that if Su Yu came to him to act coquettishly, he would not be able to help but feed her.
Xunyu couldn't stand Su Yu's pitiful and greedy look, so he spoke to help: "Give Yuyu a bite, nothing will happen."
Shi Wei raised his eyes and glanced at him One glance: "She has a stomachache, and what she suffers from is She, not you."
"Okay, I won't eat..." Su Yu also knew this, and she also knew that Shi Wei was doing it for her own good. She swallowed her saliva and reluctantly gave up. Look at this tempting bucket of cold skewers.
This eager little look made all the males present feel weak. Shi Wei was also a little unable to hold on, but for the sake of Su Yu's health, he had to persist.
Huaixu didn't say anything, picked out a new ground egg slice, slightly dispelled the coolness on it, kept it at a slightly cool but not that cold temperature, and handed it to Su Yu: "Eat it .”
Su Yu looked at him in surprise: "You..."
Shi Wei raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
Huaixu's face was still expressionless, and he handed the cold string in his hand towards her: "I controlled the temperature. It's not too cold, and it won't freeze your stomach."
Su Yu was instantly happy and let out a small cry, restraining his desire to hug Huaixu. With a bright smile, she said: "Thank you Huaixu, I'm very happy!"
She carefully took the egg slices from Huaixu's hand and took a bite. It was slightly cool and crisp, and the salty, spicy and delicious taste lingered in her mouth. The implosion made her narrow her eyes in satisfaction: "It's delicious! Try it quickly!"
Seeing that she was eating happily, Shi Wei didn't stop her and took a bite of the egg slices he took from her hand.
It tastes really good.
Icy and cool.
Very suitable to eat when the weather is hot.
Shengqing and Xunyu tasted it one after another. They all thought that this could be sold in the market and given a try.
The three beastmen and a sub-adult male took advantage of the hot feeling and began to skewer the meat.
Su Yu kept up his energy to accompany them at first, but then sleepiness hit him and he fell asleep lying on the stone table unconscious.
The next day, before Su Yu woke up, he felt a bit of coolness on his legs.
