Chapter 147

Yu Sui will come again when the Spring Market starts, and he can bring more candy to these kind minotaurs then.

Because sugar could not be used for trading at that time, they did not bring much sugar. Yu Sui liked to make sugar color when cooking, so he brought a bamboo tube.

Since the minotaurs like sweets, Yu Sui plans to make a few desserts for dinner to repay them.

Coming to the home of a wealthy grain producer, there would of course be no shortage of glutinous rice, and he was eager to show off his cooking skills.

The Tauren did not have a steaming method in their cooking, so naturally they did not have steamers. Fortunately, the handy dwarf Bombur who was accompanying them immediately made several large steamers with wooden boards and straw.

After doing all this, Bombur started to weave the baskets that would be used for draining water tomorrow.

It’s windy today, and Yu Sui wants to grind flour, so he just grinds it in the kitchen. After all, the room built by the Minotaur is spacious and the kitchen is not small either.

Notting actively raised his hand and contracted the work of grinding flour. Yu Sui also found a few bags of glutinous rice for him from the grain pile and asked him to grind the glutinous rice into flour.

There are many people today, and the Tauren's appetite is even bigger than that of the Snow Werewolves. There are only one or two basins in each cabin. Although the basins used by the Tauren are similar in size to those round bathtubs, they are still not enough.

Blue then piled up the basins from the uninhabited wooden houses nearby and brought them over. This was definitely enough.

Before coming here, Yu Sui wanted to make dough here, so he brought homemade yeast powder with him. After Notting ground the flour, he started kneading the dough without stopping.

The big wooden basin can knead one or two hundred kilograms of flour at a time, but kneading the dough is a bit difficult for Yu Sui. Xu, the only one who has learned it, is not around, so Qi took over the job.

Qi was good at playing Warcraft, but kneading the dough was a bit difficult for him. He looked at the dough sticking to his hands embarrassedly and looked to Yu Sui for help.

Yu Sui was already laughing so hard that he was rolling on the floor. "Hahaha, Brother Qi will have such a day, haha!"

Qi, who has always been omnipotent, actually had such a helpless moment. His handsome face was also covered with white powder. It was so funny that Yu Sui could hardly hold back his laughter.

When Heiyan saw his son's helpless look, he laughed at him with a gloating look and had no intention of helping him at all.

Notting, who was grinding flour nearby, also came over, took a look and burst out laughing. Fearing a beating, he quickly hid behind the millstone and continued working, pretending that nothing had happened, but his shoulders kept shaking.

Their laughter aroused the curiosity of others, and they all leaned over to take a look.

Xiuer couldn't help laughing and said, "Kneading dough is harder than hunting. I really admire how my partner makes them into baked bread."

Blue raised his hand enthusiastically and dragged an empty basin over. "I know how to knead dough, young clan leader, you should have told me earlier."

As he spoke, he poured flour into the basin, and slowly and methodically added water, first stirring it into dough, and then kneading it into a large dough.

His movements were skillful, and it was obvious that he often kneaded dough. However, the scene of a reddish-brown minotaur squatting with his tall body kneading dough looked very strange no matter how you looked at it.

Yu Sui couldn't help but applaud him. In comparison, Qi's miserable condition was a bit unbearable to watch, so he found a thin wooden board and helped scrape the flour off Qi's hands.

His hand was finally freed, Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Yu Sui with a helpless, accusing look, which made Yu Sui feel a little guilty, but only a little.

This time, with Blue by his side, Qi watched his movements out of the corner of his eye, and his hands also learned how to use force without getting their hands sticky, and finally he made a round piece of dough.

Yu Sui immediately clapped his hands vigorously and said flatteringly, "Brother Qi still makes the dough round! Look at the dough, it's so smooth!"

"Tsk." Heiyan sneered.

Xiuer walked to Notting, who had already started grinding glutinous rice flour. He watched Notting put in grains of glutinous rice and grind it into fine powder, and his curiosity was piqued.

"I know wheat flour can be used to make bread, but can glutinous rice also be used?"

Yu Sui shook his head. "Glutinous rice is too sticky, so it can't be used to make bread, but it can be used to make dumplings and snacks."

Looking at the bewildered look on the Minotaur's face, he couldn't help but feel pity for him. Guarding so much food but having such poor cooking skills was another kind of pity.

You know, in his previous life, he saw foreigners throwing away delicious offal and heads and hooves, and he felt that they were wasteful enough. Now that he has come to a different world where cooking methods are simpler, Yu Sui's flower-growing genes make him feel very regretful from time to time.

With such good ingredients, they actually made such unpalatable food. The ingredients themselves feel guilty about this.

Glutinous rice flour is used to make rice balls, so you don’t need to mix too much. Yu can make it when he is young. Glutinous rice flour is more difficult to work with, so it’s safer for him to do it himself.

It is difficult to explain in words what food can be made with glutinous rice, so Yu Sui just started mixing sugar into the glutinous rice flour, and then adding warm water little by little to make a dough.

After doing all this, Yu Sui planned to steam the pumpkin first, which would increase the temperature of the room and help the dough rise faster.

He was about to cut the pumpkin into pieces with the kitchen knife in hand. Seeing this, Jerry took the kitchen knife from his hand and said, "Let me do it. It's very hard. A cub definitely can't cut it. Be careful not to hit your hand again."

Jerry raised his fist and knocked the pumpkin open with one punch. He took out the seeds inside and put them on the plate handed to him by Yu Sui. Then he took a kitchen knife and cut the pumpkin into pieces.

A fire was lit in the middle of the room, and an iron pot was placed on top. Yu Sui arranged the pumpkins one by one and steamed them. Soon white steam rose in the room, and the kitchen looked like a fairyland.

"You know so much. This tool is great. Can you cook food like this?" Xiuer patted the steamer and asked with admiration.

"This is a steamer, which can use steam to cook food." Yu Sui explained.

The minotaurs also looked at him with confusion on their faces.

Yu Sui slapped his forehead and decided to do it first and see what happens.

It takes some time for the dough to rise, so Yu Sui decided to use this time to cook first.

The python meat processed by the soldiers was piled up outside in large chunks. If Yu Sui had not seen the appearance of a python, he would never have associated these pieces of meat with snakes.

The bright red meat looked fresh, and it hadn't frozen at all after being outside for so long. The texture of the meat was distinct, and it was still trembling regularly as if it were alive.

Yu Sui felt troubled as he looked at the meat. It was his first time eating snake meat and he didn't know how to start. Fortunately, the meat didn't look weird, so he just treated it as ordinary monster meat.

It is troublesome to cook with so many people, so they just grilled it. Yu Sui cut the snake meat into neat cubes and instructed the tribesmen to sharpen wooden sticks. Of course, the wooden sticks used by orcs have to be longer, otherwise the small skewers he had eaten before would not be enough for the snow werewolf to finish in one bite.
