Chapter 27 Crunchy Fruit and Sour Fruit
Seeing that Xia Na had not returned yet, Su Yu did not want to wait any longer, took out the bitter fruit and prepared to start boiling salt.
The knife cut the bitter fruit into small pieces. Su Yu picked up the wooden hammer and smashed the bitter fruit pieces in the wooden basin.
I have to say that this job is quite taxing on the arms. After pounding the five bitter fruits, Su Yu's arms began to feel sore.
Light the fire and serve the pot.
Su Yu stirred the juice in the pot until snow-white crystals appeared, and finally smiled.
"Huh, don't tell me, it's really tiring without Xia Na's help!" Su Yu straightened her waist and sighed in a low voice.
"Then just wait for me to come back and help!" Suddenly, Shana's voice came from the entrance of the cave.
As soon as he finished expressing his feelings, he heard the person he was expressing his feelings speaking. Su Yu was not embarrassed at all. Instead, he said openly: "Xia Na, you are finally back!"
Immediately, seeing the neatly repaired knotty tree on the man's shoulder, he was surprised and said: "Oh Xana, you brought me the knotty tree specially. It's really great!"
Shana, who was just about to put down the knotted tree, heard the words, and the tips of his ears heated up uncontrollably. Although his face was calm, he was screaming in his heart: Xiaoyuer praised me for being great again!
Pretending to be calm, he placed the knotted tree at the entrance of the cave. After approaching Su Yu, he handed her a small animal skin bag and said, "There are red fruits in it, as well as some crunchy fruits and sour fruits. I saw this sour fruit on the hunting trip. I brought it back to you to try.”
Seeing Su Yu take it and put it on the ground, Xia Na turned around and entered the food storage cave, intending to put the fruit on his shoulders first. Put down only one sheep protozoa and most of the dolphin protozoa.
Su Yu first looked at Xia Na who was heading into the cave in shock, and then at the small animal skin bag in front of him. He gathered enough strength to pick it up, and then, in three seconds, he did it again. Land.
Su Yu: ...
It turns out that there is only one word difference between human and orc, but is there such a big gap?
The moment the animal skin bag hit the ground, Shana came out.
Seeing that the animal skin bag was still on the ground, he carried it to the kitchen and put it on the side. He would clean it up later. At the moment, he had to clean up the bitter pill for Xiao Yuer first.
Su Yu returned to the kitchen, and Xia Na was already pounding the bitter fruit pieces she had cut.
So no longer wasting time, Su Yu continued to boil salt.
One person and one animal cooperated, and when it was still a while before dinner, they made all the salt out of a bag of bitter fruits, leaving five bags, which Su Yu planned to dispose of tomorrow.
Although it was still a while before dinner, Su Yu decided to stew the meat in advance, thinking that she would go to the square to "talk" later. At worst, it would be simmering over the charcoal fire when she left, and it would be even better when she came back to eat. Delicious!
Just do it, Su Yu interrupted Xia Na who was collecting red fruits, crunchy fruits and sour fruits, and asked him to go to the food storage cave to get the meat.
While Xia Na was taking the meat, Su Yu subconsciously looked at the animal skin bag that had been opened. Suddenly, Su Yu's eyes widened!
Oh my god, are they mangoes and purple strawberries? !
Quickly picked up a purple strawberry, washed it briefly with water, and threw it into his mouth with a smile.
Then.
The moment she took a bite, Su Yu was about to cry. She was so sore!
This is not a strawberry, it must be the sourest bayberry!
When Xia Na returned to the kitchen with the meat, what he saw was Su Yu grinning from the soreness.
No need to guess, you also know that Su Yu ate sour fruit. Holding back her laughter, Xia Na asked with concern: "Is it too sour that you don't like eating it?" Su Yu had already adapted to the taste. Upon hearing this, she first swallowed the sour fruit in her mouth, and then looked at Xia Na. Accepting it, he replied: "Fortunately, I just took a big bite and couldn't recover."
Su Yu picked up another sour fruit and looked at it carefully. It looks like a strawberry, but it is dark purple, about the size of a ping pong ball, and tastes very much like bayberry.
Putting down the sour fruit in her hand, Su Yu picked up another yellow "mango". Oh, forget it, she can no longer believe the appearance of the animal world plant, it is too deceptive!
Picking up a crunchy fruit, Su Yu washed and peeled it, cut a small piece, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.
"Huh?" Su Yu looked at the fruit in her hand in surprise, put away the knife, and bit it directly.
"Sweet potatoes indeed! Finally a staple food other than meat!" Su Yu sighed with emotion.
Xia Na had already blanched the meat, and Su Yu took over, prepared an appropriate amount of side dishes and condiments, and put it into the pot to stew.
When the firewood in the stove burns out, the meat in the pot is just soft and rotten, and it is time for dinner.
Su Yu and Xia Na arrived at the square empty-handed without taking anything.
When one person and one beast arrived, the square was already filled with orcs. Even the females, cubs, and old orcs who usually waited in the cave for food were basically in the square.
There were three particularly large stone pots placed in the square. Su Yu visually estimated that the diameter of the pot mouths was one meter and a half.
In the big stone pot, steam began to rise. Just by smelling it, Su Yu knew it was stew, and it was stew with mushrooms!
It turns out that the witch doctor and Uncle Mo Sang planned to let everyone taste the "added" stew. This is indeed a good idea, Su Yu said in her heart.
When Mo Sang saw Su Yu arriving, he started talking about today’s business.
The first thing he mentioned was that shiitake mushrooms and spinach berries can be added to stewed meat. As for fried meat, as an orc, Mo Sang loved to eat it, but said that it was a bit difficult to make, so he I didn’t mention it for the time being.
Later, when everyone was not paying much attention, Mo Sang mentioned salt.
“In addition to mushrooms, there is another thing that can not only make the stew more delicious, but also save us all from having to drink the blood of the original beast every season!”
Speaking of this, Mo Sang paused deliberately, and when he saw that the orcs were finally looking at him eagerly, he grabbed a handful of salt from a small animal skin bag and put it in his hand. Then, in front of the other beasts, he gave it to them. It fell back into the animal skin bag.
“That’s it, salt!” Mo Sang raised his voice, “A good thing that allows us to be full of strength every day without drinking blood!”
After Mo Sang finished speaking, all the orcs finally lost their composure, especially the females and cubs. They were most resistant to the smell of Yuan Beast blood. Now that we have such a good thing, that's great!
A female tugged on her partner, and the partner asked loudly: "Tribe chief, where can I find this salt? Is it difficult to find it?"
"Yes, yes. Ah, where are they? There are not many!" an old orc agreed. After all, if it is too rare, then they basically have no hope of owning it.
When Mo Sang heard the question, he laughed first, and then said: "It's not hard to find this thing, it's not hard to find it, it's not hard to find it."
Seeing that everyone was a little anxious, he He continued: "Do you all know about the bitter fruit? Isn't it difficult to find it?" After asking, everyone nodded, and continued: "This salt is boiled from the bitter fruit! The difficulty is that everyone has to learn to make salt from the bitter fruit. ! ”
