Bai Li and Wen Xingyao did not notice what Xiao Hudie and the others were discussing with them, as they had already walked to another large dining table.
Just then, the last dish, stewed white meat and blood sausage with sauerkraut was served on the table. The portion of this dish was very large and it was served directly in a large iron pot. The hot steam coming out of it made people retreat, but the aroma wafting from it made people's attention wandering, and they couldn't wait to take a bite with chopsticks to see how it tasted.
"Okay, all the dishes are ready, let's eat quickly!" After saying that, Song Xinran took out a complete set of bowls and chopsticks from his backpack, and gave each of Bai Li, Wen Xingyao, Wen Chen, Jiang Huaibi and Mo Song a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, motioning them to eat quickly.
As for the other players, who didn't have some food prepared in their backpack? Without Song Xinran saying anything, they all held their bowls and chopsticks and were ready.
Bai Li started with the "pig-killing dishes" that interested him the most, and put a large chopstick full of sauerkraut, white meat and blood sausage into the bowl. Although the sauerkraut had been stewed for a while, it did not become soft and mushy, but instead maintained its original crisp taste. The sour taste blended perfectly with the soup to form another unique flavor.
The white meat is moderately fat and lean, not greasy when eaten, and the light oily aroma makes people want to eat more after taking a bite. As for the blood sausage, everyone has tasted it before, but it tastes different. The players put the blood sausage with a different taste into their mouths, and were stunned for a few seconds before they raised their thumbs to express their love for this dish.
In addition to this finale dish, the other dishes also have their own fans.
Those who like spicy food will grab the boiled pork slices in the big soup bowl crazily. They don’t want to stop eating even when their mouths are as spicy as sausages. The garlic pork is slightly less spicy than the former and exudes bursts of garlic fragrance. The thin layer of skin on the pork belly seems like transparent gelatinous jelly. It is chewy and tender when you bite it, and the taste is also very good.
There is also pork belly that has been fried to a crispy texture, which makes a crunchy sound when you bite it. Players have invented a way to eat it by wrapping it in lettuce and stuffing it into their mouths.
Soft and glutinous braised pork trotters, sweet and sour sweet and sour pork tenderloin, soft and tasty steamed pork with rice flour... each dish ignited the tasting atmosphere among the players.
"Wow, Taozi and Xingchen's cooking skills are simply amazing. I still remember when Taozi first started live streaming, he could only cook dishes with simple steps and zero difficulty. I didn't expect that after just a few months, he has already improved so much. Is this the charm of food?"
"Yes, yes. I've been watching these two's live broadcasts all the way here. Taozi's cooking skills have improved a lot, and Xingchen's vocabulary for evaluating various foods has also expanded a lot. He also only broadcasts live in the middle of the night. No wonder people in the world call him 'the evil old dream'!"
"Now that these two have joined forces, although we are enjoying the meal now, there is always a feeling of loss after the live broadcast ends. Forget it, why think so much, I will go grab a few more bites, I haven't eaten enough!"
"Mmmmm, those stewed dishes are absolutely amazing. Who would have thought that pig tails could be so delicious? It's a pity that there is only a little bit..."
There were about 20 players who had time to watch the pigs being slaughtered at Wen Xingyao's house. They were all familiar faces. With Bai Li and his group, the total number of people was less than 30. But even with such a small number of people, they ate up all the dishes that Song Xinran and his group had spent a lot of effort to prepare in just half an hour.
To be more specific, it was probably eating half a pig.
In front of the camera, the players ate elegantly, but at a fast speed. If they were a little slower, the next bite of meat they liked would be taken away by others. After finishing all the dishes, they touched their stomachs with satisfaction, and felt that they seemed to be bulging a lot. They all thanked Bai Li and others for their hospitality.
As a chef, what I like most is to see others eat up all the food I cook. This is the highest compliment to their cooking skills.
Song Xinran said that he felt a great sense of accomplishment today. He was very happy inside. He pursed his lips and said regretfully, "It's a pity that Brother Xingchen and I didn't find any honey. Otherwise, we could make you another dish called 'Honey-glazed Barbecued Pork'. It's a sweet dish and I think everyone will like it."
"Yeah, it's a pity." Wen Chen continued, "We found that honey can be used to make many dishes, such as honey crispy grilled wings, honey barbecued pork, honey lemon grapefruit tea... all of these require honey. However, the village chief's store does not sell honey, and we have not found wild bees in the wild, let alone beehives..."
He sighed, his eyes full of regret. But he was not too disappointed. Just because the item "honey" was not available in this update did not mean it would not be available in the future. As more and more players join the game, their needs will also increase. With Li Li's dedication to the game, he will definitely provide them with everything they want.
Wen Chen just casually expressed his feelings like this, and then he planned to work with Song Xinran to finish the live broadcast.
But at this moment, he saw one of the twenty or so players weakly raise his hand, and then he heard a girl's voice: "Um... do you need honey? I just happen to have some here, so I'll give it to you?"
Although the volume was not high, it achieved the effect of causing the whole audience to fall silent when the words were spoken.
Qingli was originally just an ordinary member of the team, but at this time she got everyone's attention. The two players next to her had the biggest reaction. Their eyes were as big as copper bells, and they did a tactical backward move in an exaggerated manner. The postures of the three of them were probably like "丨/", and they were like a blooming flower.
Qingli: “…” These two idiots!
How should I put it? I suddenly felt a little regretful for speaking out. It would have been great to contact Li Li and the others after we disband!
It's a pity that it's no use regretting now, she has already been noticed.
Bai Li looked in the direction of the voice and immediately recognized who was speaking. Oh wow, isn't this Qingli?
After the game’s first event “Corn Master” ended, 20 players grabbed pet eggs. At that time, they all had a live broadcast of the pet eggs hatching. This girl’s pet egg was “difficult to deliver”.
It can't be said to be a difficult birth, mainly because the individuals in the eggs are too small and it is difficult for them to break out of the shells on their own. But the final result is good, Qingli got two little bee pets.
Now it seems that... these two little bees have started to produce honey? And it seems that the yield is quite good.
Qingli pushed through the crowd and walked forward under great pressure. After rummaging through her backpack for a while, she handed the honey she mentioned to Wen Chen.
The honey is packed in a transparent glass bottle. The bottle feels heavy in the hand, and players can clearly see the golden contents inside.
The glass bottle is tightly sealed, and you only need to unscrew the top lid when you want to use it.
Wen Chen shook the glass bottle left and right, and the honey inside began to flow slowly. The golden color made people intoxicated.
"Can I open it and take a look?" Wen Chen asked softly.
"Of course you can!" Qingli had recovered from her initial nervousness and said with a smile, "I told you before, this honey is for you, you can use it to cook!"
Wen Chen hesitated to speak, as if he was embarrassed to accept her kindness directly. Qingli rolled his eyes and guessed that the other party might think that honey was hard to come by, so he didn't want to accept it, so he summoned his pet bee and showed it to everyone, and explained: "You can keep it. Honey may be difficult for others to get, but it's not too easy for me. My pet is a little bee. They mature within a few days after they are born, and then they start to reproduce continuously. Now there is a big beehive under the eaves of my house, and it is full of bees born by them."
"Bees usually fly out to collect honey, and I thought it was nothing. But two days ago, I received a system notification saying that my bees had finished making honey and asked me to collect it quickly. Then I got ten bottles of honey. I was just worrying about what to do with it, and then I heard you say that you can use honey to make honey barbecued pork or something, hehe..."
This smile says it all.
Wen Chen understood immediately and said, "Then I will shamelessly accept your honey. When I make honey-glazed barbecued pork later, I will save a portion for you. Is that okay?"
"Yeah, yeah! Of course! Thank you!" Qingli nodded with satisfaction. This buddy is really smart!
If she had known earlier, she would have given away a few more bottles. Maybe she could have gotten more customized delicacies, hehehe~
Wen Chen unscrewed the lid of the honey, and a faint sweet fragrance wafted out. The smell was not strong, but smelled fresh and pleasant.
"You can scoop out a spoonful of this honey and dissolve it in water to make honey water to relieve physical fatigue and replenish energy. If you don't mind the trouble, you can also soak it with lemon, grapefruit and other fruits and drink it as a beverage. If necessary, I will send you a copy of the relevant information I collected later." While observing the texture of the bottle of honey, Wen Chen told Qingli the simple uses of honey.
He had already realized that although Qingli had the rare honey, she didn't know how to use it, which was a huge waste.
There was no reason for Qingli to refuse, and she kept nodding. Woohoo, these big guys were not as cold as she imagined, but warm and gentle, worthy of being the big guys of their "Mushroom Village"!
She took the opportunity to add Wen Chen, Song Xinran who came over, Bai Li and Wen Xingyao as game friends.
Now that they had honey, the live broadcast could continue for a while. Wen Chen and Song Xinran ran to tinker with the honey-glazed barbecued pork, while Qingli was surrounded by other players who had reacted quickly.
"Oh! My dear A-li, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had such a good thing?" Jiang Huaibi ran up and hugged her arm. The two of them were good friends and had already become besties. "Don't you know that I like those weird props the most? Tell me so that we can study the correct way to use honey together!"
"Oh, didn't I forget it before? The game was just upgraded a few days ago, and there are so many things to play. I accidentally forgot about it after I collected the honey." Qingli touched Jiang Huaibi's head apologetically, "If Xingchen Jiumeng hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered that I still had ten bottles of honey in my backpack."
After that, he took out another bottle from his backpack and stuffed it into Jiang Huaibi's hand: "Here, take it. If Xingchen Jiumeng has it, my best friend should have it too. Take it back and soak it in water. Come back to me for more when you're done!"
It seems that he is planning to take on all of Jiang Huaibi's honey expenses in this game.
The others were so envious that their eyes turned red. Mo Song suddenly jumped out, rubbing his hands, and asked with a shameless face: "Hey, sister Qingli, do you plan to sell your honey? You name a price, I want to buy a bottle..."
He didn't even give a direct quote, which shows that this honey is priceless in the "Mushroom Village".
When the other players saw that they had a competitor so soon, they all started shouting loudly.
"Yes, yes, sister Qingli, are you selling this honey? I also want to taste what honey tastes like!"
"If you don't know how to make honey barbecued pork, can you make honey water? I want a bottle of honey too!"
"Are there any who just want to drink honey water? Come on, guys, let's get together and order one. It's such a big bottle, one person can't finish it..."
"Sell me, sell me, sell me. I want to buy, I want to buy, I want to buy! Sister Qingli, if you are willing to sell honey water, you will be the beauty of our village!"
Hearing these requests getting more and more outrageous, Qingli said "Damn", decisively rejecting the title of "Mushroom Village Flower". Afterwards, she secretly discussed with her sisters and decided to sell five bottles, each priced at 50 gold coins.
The price was neither high nor low, and in the absence of other sources of honey, everyone accepted it easily.
Mo Song was the first one to pay. After the payment was made, he happily ran to a corner with the honey and hid it to prevent it from being snatched away by someone without any eyes.
In addition to him, Little Butterfly's sisters bought a bottle together, Huilin, who was rich, bought a bottle himself, Wen Chen secretly sent a message to Qingli to grab a bottle, and the last bottle was bought by Xiong Pili.
If Qingli hadn't said that she could get ten bottles of honey every ten days, she would not have been able to leave this open space today. The players who didn't get the honey were full of resentment, so they chose to make a reservation with her as a second choice.
Too bad for them. They will have to eat more pieces of honey barbecued pork later!
The performance of one person caught the attention of Bai Li and Wen Xingyao who were watching from the sidelines. And that person happened to be a player they were familiar with.
After getting the honey, Xiong Pili did not put it into his backpack as the others did. Instead, he took out a wooden spoon from his backpack, opened the honey lid and scooped out a full spoonful. When the honey on the edge of the spoon stopped dripping, he could not wait to stuff the whole spoonful of honey into his mouth.
Feeling the sweet taste in his mouth, the smooth texture, the light sweet fragrance, it was like an elf spinning and jumping on his tongue. Xiong Pili only felt that his DNA was moving wildly, and he couldn't help but let out a silly smile.
“Yeah, that’s the taste!!”
