Chapter 205

"I was just about to wash these eggs and pickle them to eat, and you guys came over just in time. Please help me wash the eggs and don't break the skin." Yu Sui said with a smile, pointing to several baskets of eggs in the room.

He was now becoming more and more adept at commanding the orcs to do their work, and Vanilla and the others also found chairs familiarly and sat down to help wash the eggs.

Yu Sui found a few pieces of cloth and asked them to use them to wipe any stubborn stains.

"Don't worry, we are not Ashan, we won't break it for you." When Xu heard Yu Sui's worried reminder again not to break the eggshell, he couldn't help but laugh and said comfortingly.

Yu Sui scratched his cheek and laughed too.

Qi was about to sit down to help wash the eggs, but Yu Sui ran into the yard and brought a large iron pot to the door, so he stood up and went out to help.

As soon as he left, Xiangcao and Xu exchanged glances calmly and smiled knowingly.

Notting looked at the two of them looking at each other in confusion, then suddenly smiled. He was about to shout and ask something when Vanilla picked out an unwashed duck egg and calmly stuffed it into his mouth.

"If you scream again, I'll give you this one." Vanilla threatened coldly, picking up an unknown bird's egg in her hand. The egg was twice as big as a duck egg.

Pheasant eggs were similar in size to the ostrich eggs from Yu Sui's previous life, and the eggs of the gray-shelled duck were a size larger than pheasant eggs, so Vanilla's threat was quite intimidating...

Notting had no choice but to give in. He removed the duck egg from his mouth with difficulty, spat a few times, and then took some water from the water tank prepared by Yu Sui to rinse his mouth. He no longer wanted to ask any more questions.

In the yard outside, Qi had already set up a large iron pot. Yu Sui threw a large fireball under the pot and filled it with water.

The most important thing about pickling salted duck eggs is the sauce and water. If the ratio of sauce and water is right, the pickled eggs will not be too salty or grow hair.

After soaking the spices for a while, pour out the water and put the spices into the pot to cook. This way, the cooked water will not taste bitter.

The ratio of water to refined salt is five to one. Yu Sui added salt according to the amount of water he made, covered the pot and let the water boil for a while.

The heat from the fireball made him feel warm. Yu Sui stretched out lazily and said, "Brother Qi, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Qi smiled and looked down at him, "You came here after patrol. I guess you didn't eat in the cafeteria."

"You guessed it right. After we finish boiling the water, we can start cooking. After we finish eating, we can go to class." Yu Sui smiled embarrassedly.

Qi of course listened to him and nodded.

After the spices were cooked, Qi Yusui took them out of the water and put the iron pot aside under his instruction to let the water cool down.

In the room, Notting, with a bitter face, struggled to wash the last egg clean, secretly cursing himself for following Vanilla and the others as soon as he saw them. If he had known earlier, he would have gone home and taken a nap after dinner.

"Wow, you guys washed it so quickly and it's so clean!"

The earthenware jars in the room were filled with clean eggs, some white and some bluish. Xu Zheng was carrying the dirty water out. Yu Sui looked around and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Vanilla took the broom and swept the dirt out of the house. Hearing this, she looked up and smiled at Sui.

Orcs work efficiently, and there is strength in numbers. If he pickled the eggs himself, he would probably have to continue working when he came back in the evening. Now that the most troublesome work has been done, the rest will be easy.

Yu Sui went to the cellar and took out a ceramic jar of white wine. He carefully filled a basin with it and poured it evenly over the eggs in the jar to ensure that every egg was washed with the white wine.

After pouring the wine, Yu Sui lifted the pottery jar and shook it carefully, then poured the liquor into another pottery jar filled with eggs. He repeated this process until all the eggs were rinsed with wine.

Eggs washed with water are easy to spoil. If you wash them with wine, they will not spoil easily and will not grow white hair during the pickling process.

The surface of the eggs washed with white wine still needed to be dried in the air. Yu Sui couldn't wait any longer, so he used wind magic to blow dry all the eggs in the pottery jars.

The sauce that had just been cooked had also cooled down, which was just right for Qi to pour into each ceramic pot until it covered the egg on top.

Cover them with a lid at the age of 15 and seal the gaps tightly with some yellow mud. After leaving them like this for more than a month, the salted eggs can be eaten. They are guaranteed to be red in color and salty and delicious.

It took up a bit of space to put so many pottery jars in the storage room, so Qi, Xu and others carefully moved the pottery jars and put them in the cellar for him.

"Now I'll be able to eat salted eggs in a month, and then I'll cook a pot of porridge to eat with them." Yu Sui imagined a wonderful life and gently patted his beloved pottery jars.

"It'll take another month before we can eat it." Notting said in a disappointed tone.

Yu Sui nodded with a smile, "Delicious food also takes time."

Speaking of this, Yu Sui remembered the pickled cabbage he had made before, and ran to the corner on the other side to look at his pickled cabbage jar.

Xu followed the direction he ran and saw several large pottery jars. He twitched his lips and said, "Let's wait until the weather is better to make some more pottery jars for Xiao Yusui. I think he's almost used up all the ones here."

Vanilla nodded slowly in agreement.

"Only the cellar the dwarves dug for him is big. Otherwise, where else can we put all the things? If we put them in the tent, they will definitely freeze. A house smaller than 10 years old can't hold so many things either." Notting stared at the dazzling array of things in the cellar with wide eyes and exclaimed in amazement.

Many of them came to Yu Sui's cellar, which contained a lot of food, fruits and other things they had picked. It didn't seem like much at the time, but now it seems like there are quite a lot.

Yu Sui had already moved the stones used to pickle the sauerkraut and tasted the tender yellow sauerkraut leaves with great interest. "It's ready to eat. It will definitely taste better if it sits a little longer!"

The sour and crispy sauerkraut with a sweet aftertaste is very refreshing, which is the taste that Yu Sui likes. Later, when he started working, it was not easy to store sauerkraut in the rented room, and the sauerkraut he bought always tasted weird. Some of the sauerkraut was bitter, while others were simply added with white vinegar, which was so sour and pungent, and it was not the taste of homemade fermentation at all.

Several orcs who had never eaten sauerkraut could not help but take a step back when they smelled the strange sour smell. Xu asked worriedly, "Is this really edible? Xiaoyu Sui, you might get an upset stomach if you eat it."

Notting poked his head out to look at the murky liquid in the pottery jar. He also remembered that the emerald green vegetables the minotaur had brought him had turned yellow. He was shocked and said, "Our tribe has enough food now. We really don't need to eat rotten and smelly vegetable leaves."

Yu Sui couldn't help but choked on the pickled cabbage and coughed for a long time before he recovered.

Qi quickly patted him on the back and turned to give Notting a glare.

"These vegetables are not rotten! They are not smelly! These are pickled sauerkraut that I made specially!" The first thing Yu Sui did as he stopped coughing was to give his sauerkraut the proper name.
