Chapter 28

The Black Rock Tribe was not short of supplies. Except for Yu Sui and the Xilen Caravan who made transactions, no other orcs went there, and the dwarves avoided them as much as possible.

On the third day of their stay, the Xilen caravan set off with the hired mercenaries.

Although there was only one cub that came to trade with them, it was the most worthwhile deal along the way, President Loft and Vice President Nord thought in unison.

"I heard that the elves' Qingxi wine is unparalleled, but I don't know what it tastes like."

As the Nord sipped the berry wine, his imagination ran wild over the elves' world-famous Clear Creek Wine.

"It's a pity that the area belonging to the elves was snatched away by the Victor Caravan. Humph, those running dogs of the Qilan Empire!" Loft cursed unwillingly.

The elves have a long civilization, the entire race is very wealthy, and they possess unique natural magic and enjoy countless rare and precious herbs.

Unfortunately, their Oru Empire lost the battle with the Qilan Empire and only gained the orcs' golden kingdom.

The Golden Kingdom was established only a hundred years ago, so how can its foundation be compared with that of the elves?

"Okay, think about those caravans that don't even qualify to enter, and stop getting angry."

The leader of the mercenary group rode a earth dragon and walked side by side with the two of them in front, smiling and comforting them.

He stared at the wine in the two men's arms with envy. He had been pestering them for two days but still couldn't get a sip, so he had to use his ultimate move.

"Alas, I will never be able to enjoy such good wine again. I wonder what Grand Guild Link would think!"

Loft pounded the weapon at his waist, so angry that he almost wanted to kill.

The exasperated Loft glared at him fiercely.

"You are shameless! You are the leader of the Silver Horn Mercenary Group!

The Silver Horn Mercenary Group, the second-ranked mercenary guild.

Seeing the other party's carefree smile, Loft became even angrier, but he had no way to deal with him.

If he really went to complain to Grand Duke Link, he would definitely be punished for doing business privately.

Reluctant to part with the berry wine, he gave Nord a look.

Why is it not me who is unlucky in the end? Nord wailed in his heart. Under the coercion of Loft, he handed his wine bag to the mercenary leader in great pain, vomiting blood in his heart.

Fortunately, he hid most of it, Nord thought thankfully.

In the Black Rock Tribe, Yu Sui was shocked when he woke up the next morning to see snow wolves sleeping on the ground.

Yu Sui was both angry and amused when he found out that all his wine had been drunk secretly.

Several snow wolves were also very ashamed of secretly drinking the cubs' wine. After waking up, they ran away in shame, and did not forget to close the door.

The drunken Xu and his companions would carry large baskets to pick berries for Yu Sui every time they went on patrol. Only Notting was confused and stood there.

Because Xiaochu’s candies were all used up, Yu Sui made a new flavor of candy using berries. This time the candy was a bright rose red color and tasted sweet and sour, which was even more popular with the cubs.

He had used up all the white sugar at home, and brown sugar made fructose was not tasty, so Qi brought him a bamboo tube of white sugar.

In addition to the ones used for cooking, there are also three large clay pots left at home that were used for brewing sorghum wine. Yu Sui used all of them to brew berry wine.

He was pounding juice in a stone basin to make wine when he called Uncle Robert to bring some candy to the dwarf children.

Rob patted his forehead. Before, when Yu Sui was pounding red beets for sugar, he asked him to make a crushing tool for Yu Sui. At that time, he had nothing on hand. As a result, after the tools were moved, he got busy and forgot about it.

After he returned, he spent two days making a crusher for Yu Sui. The structure was very similar to that of a modern meat grinder, except that Robert engraved a wind magic circle on the lid.

Although there is no electricity here, the dwarf craftsmen have strong innovative ability. Robert is one of the few craftsmen who can engrave magic circles. He only needs to embed a wind magic core on it and the crusher can be used.

This crusher is more than one meter high, almost as tall as Uncle Robert.

This simple magic circle only needs a second-level magic core to operate. Yu Sui asked Xu for a second-level wind magic core, and embedded it on the lid after returning home.

Yu Sui enthusiastically put the berries into the blender, pressed the switch, and with a few swishes, it turned into thick berry juice containing tiny berry pieces.

This is so convenient! Just as the honey and jam at home were all eaten, Yu Sui put the wild fruits in, pressed the switch for a few seconds and then quickly turned it off.

When making jam, it is more palatable if it has some granular texture and should not be minced too finely.

Just because I was too lazy to cut the fruit, Yu Sui’s honey and jam stock had been gone for several days and I was too lazy to replenish it. Now I just made all the remaining honey into jam.

The cooked jam was stored in a bamboo tube. The pot used to cook the jam should not be wasted. Yu Sui added boiling water to rinse it clean and poured the jam water into the ceramic cup he had made himself.

Xiangcao happened to bring Yu Sui some freshly caught prawns, so Yu Sui poured her a cup as well.

Vanilla likes this jam water which is sweeter than juice. Every time Yu Sui gives it to her, she drinks it all up silently.

Due to her personality, she was always embarrassed to refill her cup. Today, there was no one else here with Yu Sui, not even Xiao Chu, so she drank a few more cups without worry.

The sweet juice went into my stomach, and the comfortable vanilla even smoothed out the curve of my hair.

As expected, women prefer sweet food, so Yu Sui brought some sugar and honey jam to Vanilla.

Vanilla was at a loss and refused. Not only did they often come to the cub's place to eat, but they also took his things. She really couldn't get over it.

"Sister Vanilla, just take it. I'll start making it. Aren't these things all brought back for me by my tribesmen? It only takes a little time for me to make them with the existing materials. Just consider it my thank you gift."

Yu Sui advised sincerely and gave it to her without giving her a chance to refuse.

This sister has a very strong sense of morality. In fact, almost none of the raw materials for these things were obtained by her own hands. They were all given to her by her enthusiastic tribesmen.

He plays a processing role. Except for mushrooms, the tribesmen are not good at distinguishing whether they are poisonous or not so they dare not pick them. He does not need to look for other things.

In his cellar, there are now piles of wild fruits and berries that cannot be eaten, and several baskets of various eggs. If they are placed in a warm place, they will probably hatch.

In addition to these, there are many wild vegetables. Seeing that he likes to eat them, Lu dug up a lot of them for him, which greatly comforted Yu Sui who could not eat vegetables.

Vanilla couldn't refuse, so she accepted it anyway.

During this period, Yu Sui and the other three, Qi, took time out every day to make a lot of pottery blanks, which they put into the brick kiln one after another to be fired into pottery.

The person Yu Sui admires most is Kalan, who is the best at making pottery. Now she is much better than him, and the pottery she makes has very regular shapes.

Karan also learned cooking skills from Yu Sui and is now able to make tofu independently. Yu Sui transferred this work to Karan and even moved the stone mill to the cafeteria.

Karan has learned almost all the techniques of grilling fish, grilling meat and making stews. Yu Sui separated some of his own spices and placed them in the canteen tent, so they would come in handy when the canteen could start cooking.

For this, Lu scolded Heiyan, saying that he was not thoughtful enough. He should have exchanged for some spices when the caravan came, but now the cubs still had to prepare them.

Yu Sui was watching from the side and when he wanted to step forward to persuade Aunt Lu, he was taken away by Qi.

"It's okay, don't worry about it, it will be fine in a while." Qi said calmly.

Looking at Qi with suspicion, Yu Sui thought that when he came out, Green's hand had already twisted Uncle Heiyan's ear. Is he really okay?

"Actually, I was just thinking that the caravan will be here next spring, so why not just trade more with them?"

Yu Sui listened to Uncle Heiyan's screams and pleas for mercy, and said with a heart that couldn't bear it.

"As the clan leader, you should think more." Qi looked back, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his lips.

Yu Sui tilted his head and stared at him dimly, only then did he realize that the protagonist had such a sinister side. It was really a blessing for Uncle Heiyan to have you.

His body stiffened, Qi coughed lightly, and quickened his pace.

"I went hunting, and Notting said he found a group of explosive unicorn sheep. I remember you said they were delicious last time."

Qi didn't have to go hunting today. Sure enough, people pretend to be busy when they're embarrassed. Yu Sui remembered something and hurriedly shouted at Qi's back, "Brother Qi! Leave me some offal!"

Qi responded and left in a hurry.

The rice cakes and soybeans covered with flour that Yu Sui placed in the room were almost fermented.

He took out the dough first, and saw that it was covered with yellow-green fungi. It was ready after fermentation.

Put the cake in a sunny place to dry in the sun. The autumn sun is very strong, so just dry it until it hardens.

The soybeans and the flour on the surface were already covered with yellow-green powdery fungi. After being slightly dried in the sun, Yu Sui rubbed off the powdery fungi on the soybeans.

Sift the soybeans with a basket and then soak them in water until softened.

This is when the crusher Uncle Robert gave him came in handy.

Put boiled water, softened soybeans and fine salt into a blender and grind them together. Don’t grind them too finely, and the soybean paste will taste better if it has granules.

The crushed paste is very similar to soybean paste, but it cannot be eaten at this time.

Put the soybean paste in a large basin, and then find a piece of linen to cover it to prevent mosquitoes from flying in. Yu Sui took the basin out and put it in the sun. It will be ready to eat in about a month.

The dough cakes were now sun-dried and hard, and the bacteria on the surface had turned black.

Yu Sui clenched his fists and smashed them into pieces, making them look like stones rolling on the ground.

Dissolve boiled water and salt in a ratio of 5:1 and pour into a large jar containing rice cakes.

Also put it in a sunny place to dry. After a few days, the dough will naturally gelatinize. After it becomes a paste, turn the jar over frequently like bean paste to dry it evenly from top to bottom.

At this moment, a strong fishy smell came, and Yu Sui was knocked backward by the smell.

Smelling the stench from a distance, Yu Sui saw Qi and Notting carrying the internal organs coming towards him, and hurriedly pointed to the river.

But please don't bring him home, the unwashed intestines will stink so much that he'll feel like suffocating.

Qi and Notting carried the internal organs to the river, and they couldn't wait to jump into the river and take a bath.

The stench of the internal organs is a huge torture for the snow werewolves with a keen sense of smell.

Yu Sui was no exception. He pinched his nose and thought about how to wash it with a worried look on his face.

If we put the internal organs directly into the river to wash them, we are afraid that they will be dragged away by big fish. Yu Sui can't swim, and we can't let Qi and Notting guard him in the river, otherwise the dirty water used to wash the internal organs will flow onto them.

His largest container was the big iron pot made for him by the dwarves, but Yu Sui was afraid that if he put his hands directly into the pot to wash, the pot would become smelly.

After thinking about it, Yu Sui dug a big pit in the ground, found stone slabs and bricks to pave the bottom of the pit, and dug a canal from the river to divert water into the pit.

The heart, liver, and lungs among the internal organs are easy to clean, but the intestines are the most difficult to clean.

Yu Sui washed out his heart, liver, and lungs, and then began to wash his intestines and stomach.

There is a layer of mucus on the intestines of animals, and the most difficult thing to clean is this sticky liquid.

Yu Sui had loved eating these before he traveled through time, and he loved the offal he cooked himself the most, as it was both fresh and clean.

In the past, when he cleaned the intestines, he would rub them with flour and salt, which made them clean quickly and cleanly.

It would be a waste to use these to clean the internal organs now. Flour and salt are relatively precious to him now.

Fortunately, he was strong now, and Qi and Notting came to help him rub it. After changing the water five or six times, the mucus in his intestines was finally washed away.

Yu Sui turned his intestines inside out and washed away the dirt. After doing this, the three of them jumped into the river and took another bath.

"Xiao Yu Sui, why did you think of eating these? We have enough monster meat now, you don't have to worry about having nothing to eat in the winter." Notting said in a troubled tone, with a faint stench on his body.

He thought that Yu Sui was afraid of being hungry in previous winters, and now that winter was approaching, he started to save on monster meat.

Yu Sui couldn't help but laugh, "When this is done, it will taste completely different from the monster meat. Don't worry, Brother Notting. When have I ever lied to you?"

That's right, Yu Sui always made the food more delicious than they could imagine. Notting felt relieved when he thought about how fish, which was previously hated by everyone in the tribe, has now become a popular food.

The bright red heart, dark red lungs and liver, and the pinkish-white intestines that had been washed clean no longer looked as dark as before.

Qi chose for him the largest monster's internal organs. Qi and Notting did not bring the internal organs of other monsters. The internal organs that were not cleaned were very slippery and difficult to grab.

Moreover, Qi thought that Yu Sui wanted to use these internal organs as bait to catch fish himself, but he didn't expect that Yu Sui wanted to cook them and eat them.

"Do you want other offal? Notting and I will get it for you."

Qi raised his eyes and asked after Yu Sui brought the cleaned internal organs home.

"This is enough for us to eat, no need to take it for now." Yu Sui shook his head quickly.

Now all the internal organs in the tribe are saved for fishing, and the unusable ones are thrown into the river as feed for the fish.

The set of offal that Qi brought weighed almost a ton, and it was so difficult to wash them. Even if he only ate the offal, it would definitely be enough.

Yu Sui brought over two large iron pots that the dwarves had made for the cafeteria.

The heart and lungs were cut into pieces and put into an iron pot for braising. Yu Sui also put some meat in it, so that the taste would be more fragrant.

Cook the intestines and tripe in another pot. They have a stronger flavor, so cooking them separately will prevent the flavors from intermingling.

These internal organs are blanched in water before being cooked, and most of the odor has been removed.

Yu Sui added spices, garlic, and scallions to two separate pots to remove the fishy smell. His soy sauce needed some time to cook, so he fried sugar color instead.
