Chapter 79 Cooking Fish
The earthy yellow pottery bowl and the small pottery pot revealed their figures.
A crowd of people quickly gathered around, especially those who participated in the production were very excited.
"I made this, it worked! Haha..."
"I succeeded too!"
They recognized their own pottery at a glance and cheered.
However, some of them were disappointed because a small part of this batch of pottery was cracked, obviously not fired well.
With Su Yun's permission, they held the pottery they made, their faces full of joy and harvest.
"The clay is really magical!"
"I want to make one too!"
The other people who did not participate showed surprise and envy on their faces, and they were eager to try in their hearts.
Su Yun took a look at the small pottery pot that was made. This thing is a bit like a large iron pot in the countryside, but the size is much smaller.
He turned around and told the people around him to wash the pottery pot and bowl, and kill a clean fish by the way.
"What is the priest going to do?" Fang Fang, a strong man in the crowd, asked the short and thin Qing beside him in confusion.
"Just watch, the priest may want to teach us something, maybe it's God's will!"
A wise light flashed in Qing's turbid eyes.
"God?" Fangya was surprised when he heard it. He and the middle-aged leader standing next to the two looked at each other, and both of them couldn't help showing expectations on their faces.
They knew that as long as it was related to God, it would definitely not be simple. Each thing was very meaningful, but they were dull mortals and could not understand God's meaning in advance.
Not only the three of them, but some other people also saw the special movements of the priest and guessed something vaguely.
After one spread ten, ten spread a hundred, and in the expectant eyes of the crowd, the pot and fish were processed and brought over.
Su Yun glanced at the pot and fish held by the two people, and after a little thought, he turned around and looked for something.
After a while, he found three stones that were more than ten centimeters high. After arranging the three stones in a triangle on the ground, he took some firewood and piled them in the stone pit.
As the flames ignited, the pot was placed on the stone.
The pottery pot started to smoke as it burned and heated, and it was obviously heated to a certain extent.
"It's a pity that there is no oil." Su Yun felt a little regretful and reached out to take the gutted and cleaned black fish.
He glanced at the fish that was longer than the pottery pot, and after thinking about it, a little white light came out of his hand, which soon condensed into the shape of a light knife. He cut the fish horizontally in the middle, and the fish was easily split into two halves.
In full view of everyone, the fish was thrown directly into the pottery pot. Sizzle,
sizzle~
As soon as it was put into the pot, a sound of frying fish sounded, and at the same time, a special fragrance
rose. Compared with grilled fish, this smell is more tempting, blooming more thoroughly, and making people drool.
Look, people who are close to it immediately sniffed their noses desperately.
"It smells so good!"
"Why is this fish so fragrant?"
Just a slight sniff, they only felt that the grilled fish they usually eat was not fragrant, and only the black fish fried in the pottery pot was left in their eyes and hearts.
Seeing that the fish was still being fried, Su Yun turned to the person next to him and said, "Get a pot of water in a clay pot."
"Let me do it!" Fang was curious and took the lead to squeeze in and take over the task.
After that, he picked up a clay pot from the ground not far away and strode to the river.
"What is the priest doing? Why does he need water?"
"Yeah, I don't understand..."
They scratched their heads, not quite understanding what the priest was going to do.
"I forgot to make a spatula." Su Yun noticed that the fish was a little burnt, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Forget it..." With a sigh, he calmly stretched out his hand, and a spatula condensed with white light immediately appeared in his hand.
After a few shovels, he turned the fish over.
Well, you know what, it's quite useful.
The tribesmen looked at the shovel of light in amazement, and some careful ones secretly memorized the style, just waiting to make an identical one in the future.
Sizzle~
Because there was no oil, the black fish was a little sticky, but as time passed, the oil belonging to the fish seeped out, and with the smell of burnt, a more tempting smell emanated.
The fragrance drifted to the entire open space, making everyone look at the grilled fish with eager eyes and drooling.
"Priest, the water you want."
Fang grinned and handed him the pottery jar full of water. As he spoke, he moved his throat up and down and couldn't help asking, "Priest, can I have some fish?"
"No." Su Yun refused in a calm voice.
Looking at Fang's extremely disappointed expression, he was speechless and explained, "The fish is not cooked yet."
"Cook?" Qing, who was nearby, heard this word and couldn't help but repeat it in confusion.
Su Yun glanced at Qing with a little surprise, and seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, he said, "Yes, it's boiled!"
As he said that, he didn't explain much, but just poured the pottery jar in his hand into the small pottery pot.
Under the sunlight, the extremely clear water with a golden glow poured down. With a
sizzling
sound, a large amount of steam came out.
This scene made the others dumbfounded.
"What did the priest do?!"
"He actually added water!"
After the crowd reacted, they all cried out in surprise. They didn't quite understand what was happening.
The fish was originally a good pot, but after seeing the priest pour water, most people showed a look of disappointment.
They felt that this pot of fish would not be so delicious...
Qing in the crowd also frowned deeply at this time. He had believed in his inner thoughts. He felt that the priest's strange behavior might be the command of God. Now seeing such a behavior, he was a little uncertain.
Su Yun ignored the disappointed and suspicious people and just shoveled the fish calmly.
In the small pottery pot, as soon as the water was poured in, it immediately turned milky white, just like adding milk. It had an attractive smell and a good appearance.
The fish soup was still heating up. Su Yun thought about it and felt that it might not taste good.
He stood up and prepared to get the remaining snowflake salt from the trade with the peddler yesterday.
He stopped the tribesmen who wanted to follow him and left here alone.
Now, the expressions on everyone's faces were even more confused.
When he came back, Su Yun was holding a small bag of packaged salt in his hand, and there was still half a finger of snowflake salt at the bottom of the bag.
The tribesmen looked at the small bag in surprise. Someone with sharp eyes saw the white stuff inside and exclaimed, "This is salt!"
"What? Something given by the gods?"
The news of salt, a gift from the gods, had long been spread throughout the tribe, but it was the first time for some people to see it, and they were all surprised.
