Chapter 7

After baking for a while, brush a layer of honey water on it. Do this four or five times. Later, Xiaochu was responsible for brushing it, and he was very serious about it, as if he was doing something big.

Yu Sui was a little amused. He used thin vines to string the cleaned mushrooms together and hung them next to the Thunder Fire Beast slices to dry.

He left some mushrooms and put them in when the rabbit bones were almost cooked. He cut the tofu into small pieces and stewed the wild vegetables left over from yesterday in a ceramic pot. Finally, he added coarse salt and a little juice to season it.

The fresh aroma of mushrooms mixed with the smell of meat wafted into the nose, and the smell of honey barbecue was even more overbearing. The rich aroma spread throughout the air, making the snow wolves of the tribe hungry.

Unfortunately, the delicious barbecue I usually eat at home no longer tastes good. Smelling the aroma coming from Yu Sui's house, while eating the blackened and raw barbecue in front of me, I can't swallow it. Even the Snow Wolf, who always had a good appetite, had to suffer this day.

The best among them who are skilled in cooking can at best avoid burnt or undercooked meat, but they can never compete with Yu Sui who has been influenced by modern cuisine.

They secretly glanced at Yu Sui's barbecue. Would it be more delicious if the meat was divided into small pieces and grilled? It was strange that Yu Sui, the little brat, stopped chasing and ran away, and his cooking skills became so amazing.

Forget about grilling meat, how come his cooked meat is so fragrant? They sometimes cook meat, but it’s not as good as grilling it, it’s bland and tasteless, and adding green vegetables is also not very good.

Before stewing meat or making soup, the blood in the meat will be cleaned, and the fat will be stir-fried before cooking. The ratio of water to meat must be just right so that the food tastes good.

As far as the 21st century, no Chinese people in other countries would eat it, let alone orcs who are almost like those in primitive society.

This was still due to the limited environment. Yu Sui was even afraid of the clay pot cracking and didn't dare to cook. If he had an iron pot, I couldn't imagine how much suffering the Snow Wolf Man would have suffered.

"Wow, it smells so good! It must be Yu Sui making something to eat!" Ashan's chattering voice came.

Yu Sui looked up and saw that Xu, Notting, and Ashan had indeed arrived. Xu had even brought a reluctant Qi along with him. They walked in front, while Notting and Ashan followed behind, carrying a three or four meter tall monster.

"Don't be so stern. Yu Sui is still a cub after all. You sent him back alone when he got caught in the rain and had a fever, and you didn't care. Come and see him today." Xu whispered in Qi's ear.

Qi glared at him impatiently. This friend of his, who had grown up with him, was good in every way except for his soft heart. Yu Sui had just been quiet for two days, and his attitude towards him had softened, forgetting all the times Yu Sui had been against him.

The relationship between the protagonist and the receiver is indeed good, but it seems that their relationship has not deteriorated at this stage.

Yu Sui glanced at them furtively, sighing inwardly, "I can't get enough of it." He liked seeing strong couples when he read stories, but when he saw two strong, tall, handsome men with straight features huddled together, with bronze skin and well-developed muscles, he couldn't even imagine them being intimate...

He threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, took out the stone bowls, chopsticks and soup spoons he had prepared long ago, and served each person a large bowl of stew.

The honey barbecues were ready. Yu Sui placed them on the large green leaves and invited a few people to come and eat.

He didn't feel anything about Qi's attitude towards him. After all, what the original owner did was really annoying.

Moreover, he still needs to ask for help from others. Qi's father is the patriarch of their tribe. He wants to borrow food. It would be better if he could ease the relationship with Qi. Anyway, he has no bad intentions towards Qi and is open and honest.

Xiaochu sat down next to Yu Sui. He had been craving this white and tender thing for a long time. Without waiting for them to speak, he stuffed a piece of tofu into his mouth first.

The tender and smooth tofu is soaked in gravy, and the rich aroma of beans mixed with the aroma of meat, as well as the fresh aroma of mushrooms and wild vegetables, is extremely delicious.

Xiaochu's eyes lit up as he ate. Seeing how relished Xiaochu was, Xu and the others sat down and started eating without hesitation. Since they didn't know how to use chopsticks, they used forks as they ate, though it wasn't as convenient as Xiaochu made it seem.

Lian Qi couldn't help but eat it after sniffing the aroma. He couldn't stop eating it once he put it in his mouth. No matter whether it was the small white square or the brown fruit he had never seen before, they were all delicacies he had never tried before.

The orcs quickly finished the full bowl of food. Seeing this, Yu Sui quickly filled their bowls again and ate a bowl himself.

The animal meat in this world is really delicious, maybe because of the Warcraft, whether it is the rabbit eaten today or the thunder and fire beast meat yesterday, it tastes very good. Even the pheasant he caught himself is much better than the modern chicken.

Today the rabbit was whole. When he was cleaning it by the river, he really didn't want to throw away its internal organs. Unfortunately, he didn't have any spices on hand. The internal organs had a strong odor when stewed. After thinking about it, Yu Sui reluctantly threw it away.

But now he felt a little regretful. He should have kept it. The internal organs could be used as bait for fishing. The monsters and animals here were so big, so the river seafood such as fish, shrimps and crabs in the river must be big too. Just thinking about it made him feel delicious.

There was no point regretting throwing it away. The Snow Werewolves didn't eat offal, so Yu Sui could just ask them for some. Given the size of those monsters, a set of offal would be enormous.

The plump mushrooms are tender, fresh and sweet. I believe they will taste even better after being dried.

The tofu he wanted to try the most was not as chewy as the tofu he had eaten in modern times due to the production process, but it was full of bean flavor, easier to absorb soup, rich in flavor, and was made very successfully.

As expected, when people are pushed to the limit, they can solve anything except advanced math problems.

Xiaochu quickly finished two large bowls of stew and was chewing on the honey-roasted rabbit.

Yu Sui gave each of Xu and the others a meter-long skewer of rabbit meat, then cut the rabbit steak into pieces, giving each of them a large piece. Qi took it silently, but ate it quickly.

Because they are brushed with honey water many times and the rabbit meat is relatively fat, both the rabbit skewers and rabbit chops are roasted with crispy skin and tender and juicy inside. The juice drips from the corners of your mouth when you take a bite, and it is sweet and delicious.

Each snow wolf can get about 30 kilograms of skewers and steaks, which is just enough for an adult snow wolf to have a basic meal.

In beast form, a Snow Wolf would eat at least three or four rabbits this size per meal, and in human form, he would also eat one, saving two-thirds of the food compared to beast form. The stronger the warrior, the more food he needed to maintain his energy consumption. After all, his size was there.

Yu Sui was secretly shocked. This was probably the same principle as in modern times where one can afford to buy a car but cannot afford to fill up the gas tank.

Think about it, the leaders of the orc tribe must be under a lot of pressure. They have to feed so many big-bellied monsters and they need to eat so much for every meal. So how much wood will be needed for barbecue? No wonder they collect firewood by pulling it back directly from the whole tree.

Fortunately, this world is rich in magical energy, so plants and animals grow big.

If all the snow wolves in their tribe were released to his hometown, they would be able to bankrupt an entire county in less than a month.

Several snow wolves ate up the food in their hands with relish, even gnawing on the bones of the rabbit chops.

They stood up, built a large fire, and pulled the prey they had brought in. Then several pairs of eyes stared at Yu Sui, and Qi was no exception.

Ah Shan touched his head and said, "Xiao Yu Sui, how did you make the barbecue taste like this? We don't need to use honey. The smell we smelled last night was fragrant enough."

They were too embarrassed to snatch honey from the cubs. You know, honey was very scarce in the tribe, and it was provided to the cubs first. They also had this benefit when they were cubs. Now that they are adults, they don't snatch snacks from the cubs, although the meat roasted with honey is really delicious.

Yu Sui looked at these somewhat embarrassed big guys and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that food has no boundaries.

He directed several people to cut the prey, which looked like a cow, into several pieces.

When Qi and his men arrived, the prey had already been skinned and its internal organs had been gutted. He then asked Notting to rinse the meat with water to remove as much blood as possible, then put it on the fire and roast it slowly.

When the oil is roasted, the fire will become more intense. Yu Sui sprinkled some water into the fire to reduce the fire so that the roasted meat would not burn.

"It's best to roast a layer of this kind of large piece of meat, cut it off and eat that layer, and then roast it slowly. Otherwise, it's easy to eat it half-cooked," Yu Sui reminded.

The orcs' lifestyle is very primitive. Except for some orcs who established the Golden Kingdom, they basically ate raw food to fill their stomachs when hunting, so other races think that orcs are very barbaric.

After that war, the Golden Lion Clan led several other races to establish a kingdom and ruled the western border of the Fantasy Continent.

Caravans from the human kingdom who wanted to come to the Fantasy Continent to trade had to pay them taxes or supplies. Gradually, they also learned many lifestyles from humans, including enjoyment, which gradually spread to the interior of the continent, and other orcs also began to change some of their living habits.

Just like grilling and boiling meat, although they don’t taste very good, they are still much better than raw meat.

Yu Sui took out a bucket of honey from the house and handed it to them, telling them that if they mixed it with honey water and brushed it on the meat and then roasted it slowly, it would taste like the barbecue they had just eaten.

Qi pushed the bamboo tube back and said with his head down, "We don't need it."

Xu patted Qi's shoulder vigorously and said, "He meant that the honey was reserved by the tribe for you cubs. The barbecue you taught us is already very good, and there's no need to use honey. You and Xiaochu can keep it."

He brought Qi here to comfort Yu Sui, not to upset him. Yu Sui had given him some delicious food in the morning, but he didn't eat it himself. He just wanted to help him.

Qi fell silent. He wasn't very good at speaking, and he certainly had a prejudice against Sui. But Yu Sui was definitely different today. At least she wasn't clinging to him anymore, and she was taking good care of Xiaochu.

He felt that it was not shameful for the orcs to be weak, but in the past, Yu Sui not only clung to him, but was also hostile to his friends. He did not take good care of his own brother and complained about everything every day, but in fact he could not do anything well.

He was a desperate man, having only raised Xiaochu until he was a tiny child. Qi didn't want to live with him and asked other members of the tribe to adopt them, but Yu Sui refused. Whenever the tribe divided the game, he refused to go, insisting others bring it to him. In short, his life was a mess.

Now that he is willing to change, Qi also hopes that he can live a good life with Xiaochu.

Yu Sui was not angry. They meant well, so the honey could be kept.

There is nothing that can't be solved by a meal. If there is, then have two meals. Yu Sui treated them to a meal, and the eyes of Notting and Ashan looking at him became peaceful.

"Is this white block called tofu? It obviously doesn't smell very nice during the day, and I remember it was like water. You are so amazing, Yu Sui!" Notting exclaimed curiously.

"This is made from beans. I call it tofu." Yu Sui didn't know how to explain that he knew how to make tofu, so he covered it up by saying, "I discovered the method by accident. The juice tastes great when cooked, and it's also delicious when made into tofu. We can collect more beans in the future, so we can have another delicious food in winter and don't have to just eat dry beans anymore."

"Yes, yes. We'll find more of these beans and bring them to you while we're on patrol!" Ah Shan said happily. For the Orc tribe, having another kind of food was a great thing, not to mention that it tasted good.

Yu Sui nodded happily. "Strength lies in numbers." "If we gather more beans, we can make tofu in the winter. Freezing them outside to make frozen tofu is also delicious and easy to preserve." "If we run out of vegetables, we can still make bean sprouts. There's no limit to how much we can eat."

It's the same. The tofu he made with coarse salt water was fragile and bitter, and it also consumed a lot of salt.

He had to speed up the production of vinegar. Using vinegar to make tofu could save crude salt and also make activated carbon. Then he could ask the snow werewolf to take him to the seaside to extract some salt. Later, the snow werewolf could extract salt by himself. The salt produced in this way would be of better quality than the crude salt traded from human trade caravans.

Qi is the clan leader's son. If he goes to the clan leader's house to borrow food, will he be considered as pestering him again?

It's okay to be thick-skinned, everyone in the tribe knows it anyway, and he chases after Qi every day, which just fits his character. Otherwise, if he suddenly changes too much, even for an orc, being so careless is not appropriate.

After hesitating for a long time, Yu Sui simply spoke directly to Qi after dinner.

"Um...Brother Qi," he called out with difficulty, "I want to borrow some glutinous rice and wheat from Aunt Lu to make wine. I don't need too much, is that okay?"

Xu and Notting Ashan were quite used to his current name, but Yu Sui, who had ignored Qi from yesterday until today, was a little uncomfortable.

"You can also make wine?" He asked doubtfully, focusing on the wine making.

Yu Sui started making up stories. "When I was little, my mother told me that the elves seemed to make wine that way, so I want to try it too."

Hearing him mention his mother, Xu believed it. Yu Sui's mother had once been one of the tribe's strongest warriors, having fought in battles with immense strength. They had all admired her when they were young. She had come into contact with the elves, so perhaps she had heard about this by accident?

He also turned his head to look at Qi. During the tribal market, they would trade some storable food with the Tauren, including glutinous rice and wheat.

However, the Snow Werewolves had not learned the cooking methods of the Minotaur, and it was difficult to swallow if eaten dry, so many of them kept some leftovers at home for the winter.

Qi nodded and said, "Then you can go with me later." After thinking for a moment, he added, "You can take as much as you want. There's no need to be frugal. We have plenty at home."

Snow wolves really don't hold grudges and are very easy to talk to. Even when Qi was so annoyed, he didn't hesitate to treat him. The same was true for Xu. In the past, the original owner had been hostile to him because he and Qi were closest, but Xu didn't care.

Seeing that Qi agreed, Yu Sui breathed a sigh of relief. That was great. He was really afraid of being rejected by Qi, which would be so embarrassing.

"Thank you, Brother Qi, you are so nice." Yu Sui thanked him gratefully.

Qi stood up uncomfortably and said, "Then I'll take you there now." After bringing food to Yu Sui, he still had to go for training.

After eating, Xiaochu turned into an animal form and lay lazily in the sun, basking in the sun, looking like he was about to fall asleep.

Yu Sui simply let Xiaochu sleep at home, and he followed Qi to get food.

Lu and clan leader Heiyan were both at home, she looked at Qi with surprise as he brought Yu Sui into her house, this was the first time she saw Qi's expression not look bad when Yu Sui was followed behind him.

Yu Sui greeted Lu and Hei Yan in a reserved manner. Qi's home was also a mud house, and the space was much larger than theirs.

"I wanted to borrow some glutinous rice and wheat, so I asked Brother Qi to bring me here." Yu Sui said.

"Sure, Xiaoyu, how much do you need? I have a cloth bag here, you can use it." Heiyan said generously. He looked a bit like Qi, but he looked more mature.

Lu took out a few cloth bags from the large clay pot in the corner and opened them, enthusiastically motioning him to come over and get the food.

Yu Sui walked forward and found that the wheat and glutinous rice here were larger than those today, and the grains were basically the same size as corn kernels.

"The Minotaur can use this wheat to make black bread. I have tried to learn it from them several times but still haven't learned it. I can only use it to cook porridge. These two bags are glutinous rice and wheat. You can take them all. We don't eat much anyway." Green took out two bags and stuffed them into his arms.

Yu Sui quickly refused, "I don't need so much, just a little is enough for me."

Lu forced it into his hand and said, "Take it back!"

At this time, Qi walked over silently and picked up the two large bags of food. "Let's go."

There was no way to refuse, so Yu Sui thanked him embarrassedly.

Just as he was about to go out, Qi remembered something and went back to take out another bag of things from the pottery jar and held it in his hand.

"Don't you know how to make tofu with these beans? These are all for you." Qi said.

Lu also remembered that Yu Sui had asked him where he had more beans today, so he asked him to take some back. "Yes, yes, Xiao Sui, if you like them, take them all. I'll find more for you when we go out to collect them."

Yu Sui looked at the overflowing bag in surprise and quickly waved his hands, saying, "This is too much! I can't take it!"

Qi still had that look of not accepting refusal, and he just took the food and went out.

Heiyan laughed from behind and said, "Take it quickly. If it's not enough, come back for more."
