Chapter 059 Finally got it!
[Host! Quick! Is breakfast ready? Come eat!]
Under the frantic urging of the audience, Lu Xuan returned to his small cave. At this time, Lu Qing had already put today's breakfast on the table.
Today's breakfast is different from the previous few days. It is neither porridge nor steamed buns, but a common specialty food in the north, burritos.
The staple food is a spring roll with a diameter of nearly one foot. The side dishes include stir-fried potatoes with green peppers, stir-fried bacon, scrambled eggs, lettuce, cucumber, green onion, etc. There are three kinds of sauces: spicy, sweet and salty. You can choose the ingredients and seasoning sauce according to your preferences.
Among them, the potatoes were obtained when he was shopping at street stalls in the capital. There were only a few of them, but after the baby was born, he would naturally have no worries about not having enough to eat.
After tasting the fried shredded potatoes, Lu Qing was amazed and loved it very much.
When they arrived at the dinner table, the audience in the live broadcast room couldn't even wait for Lu Xuan to roll up the pancake and began to taste the ingredients on the table very consciously.
[Mmm! So hot, so hot! Is this called a pancake? It smells so good! This is what natural pasta tastes like! Nutritional supplements are nothing compared to this!]
[The bacon is so delicious! It's so fresh and flavorful, I could eat three nutritional supplements with it!]
The shredded egg is delicious, and the shredded cucumber is so crisp and refreshing, you can even eat it as fruit!
The chopped green onions are a bit spicy, but the sauce makes them so delicious that you can’t stop eating them!
Lu Xuan, who was making a roll, said: "...You guys are not picky at all." He could even eat the side dishes with relish.
[The anchor eats natural food every day, so of course he doesn’t understand our sadness! ]
[That's right! We eat bland nutritional supplements most of the year, and only occasionally can we get a little bit of natural food, which is never enough.]
[It’s good enough to have something to eat, why would you dare to be picky? ]
[However, even though the side dishes are delicious, we still need the wraps. Hurry up, host! I want the one with shredded potatoes, bacon, and cucumber! And the sauce is salty!]
Don't forget the shredded egg! I want the spicy sauce, put more on, I like spicy food!
[If you have a strong taste, just use the sauce bowl and eat it yourself. If you put too much sauce on it, you won't be able to taste the flavor of the ingredients themselves! Host, please put less sauce on it!]
If you want to enjoy the deliciousness of the ingredients themselves, eat them individually.
Lu Xuan looked at the people on the screen who were ordering dishes and arguing about different tastes, and interrupted them and said, "Okay, stop arguing. There are so many pancakes and dishes. I can just try every combination."
His appetite is not enough to be satisfied by eating four or five pieces. As long as he eats for long enough, the audience will eat as long as they want.
The biggest feature of burritos is that the flavors vary greatly depending on the ingredients and proportions. At first, the audience might have been a bit picky, but later they were too busy eating to leave comments. The occasional comments were all about "this one is delicious," "that one is delicious," and "they're all delicious!"
Lu Qing and the other two had limited appetites, and the fight ended quickly after they ate about ten pancakes in total. However, Lu Xuan kept rolling pancakes and showed off thirty of them by himself.
After waiting for more than 20 days, the audience who wanted to share the taste finally had a satisfying meal. After that, they also tasted the sweet honey mint tea. The unhappiness of being tricked by Lu Xuan early in the morning finally dissipated. As Lu Xuan put down his chopsticks, they entered the sage state one by one.
[The burritos are delicious, the honey tea is delicious, this is the kind of food people should eat, this is the kind of life people should live!]
[Host, remember to change your breakfast tomorrow morning and try everything you had the past few days. Don't miss any. Adults can choose to have them all!]
[Why wait for tomorrow? Don't we have two meals today? Host, make some delicious food for lunch. I can eat any amount!]
[I'm not a freeloader. Come on, here's the 'meal allowance'. As long as the host lets us eat and drink well, we will definitely not let you suffer any loss!]
[That’s right!]
The audience, who had eaten and drunk their fill, generously gave out another wave of gifts.
At this time, Lu Qing, who had put the empty bowl aside, spoke up, "The three of us don't have to go to the hunting team or the gathering team today. Xuan, what are your plans? Do you want to go out alone or take a good rest for a day?"
Lu Xuan drank a sip of mint tea to soothe his greasiness and said, "While the weather isn't too hot yet, let's process some of the meat I bought in the capital. I've also saved about 20 to 30 kilograms of mushrooms over the past few days, so we can process them together."
Lu Qing nodded. "Alright. If we make more at once, we can cook less often in the future. What kind of food are you going to make? I'll see if I need to prepare any tools in advance."
Lu Xuan thought for a moment, "The main thing that needs to be processed is pork. I can mince the meat to make meat sauce and stuffing, as well as meatballs, braised meat, ham, sausages, lard, and bone soup... I can also make some pork jerky as a snack.
Lu Chen's ears twitched. Snacks? Pork jerky? What is that? It sounds delicious.
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "If we only use pork in the braised meat, it seems a bit monotonous. Why not use chicken as well? Chicken feet, chicken heads, chicken necks, chicken gizzards, and even some eggs."
Speaking of chicken feet, Lu Xuan added: "By the way, make some pickled pepper water."
The three Lu family members were confused. "What is pickled pepper water?"
Lu Xuan said, "One condiment can be used to make many delicious dishes. By the way, only braise half of the chicken feet and save the other half."
The audience who had eaten a lot of delicious food in other ancient live broadcast rooms, their eyes lit up instantly when they heard the iconic ingredients such as pickled pepper water and chicken feet.
[Pickled pepper chicken feet! Is the host thinking of making pickled pepper chicken feet? Ahhhhh! My favorite!]
[I love pickled pepper chicken feet too! It's a shame that few ancient streamers make them. I occasionally see them in ancient live streams, but no streamers have been showing them lately. I haven't had them in ages!]
[Just looking at the words "pickled pepper chicken feet" makes my mouth water. Slurp, slurp——]
Not only the audience were drooling, but Lu Chen, who had just eaten, was also slurping his saliva. Lu Qing and Lei Yan felt a little dizzy after hearing it.
Lei Yan hesitated. "How many pigs and chickens are you going to process if you want to make so many varieties?"
Lu Xuan casually said, "At least a hundred, right?"
"Hundreds of pigs—!?" The three members of the Lu family gasped at the same time. "You bought that many pigs?"
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed at their reactions.
[A few hundred pigs is nothing. The host actually bought a thousand pigs!]
[We also bought a thousand chickens. If we make half of them into pickled pepper chicken feet, that'll be a thousand... Hey, that'll be enough to last us for ages.]
Lu Qing looked troubled and said, "It'll probably take several days to tend to hundreds of pigs. Won't that delay the gathering and hunting later?"
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "One day is enough."
The three members of the Lu family: “?”
Live broadcast audience:?
Processing hundreds of pigs in one day? You're kidding! Even if the whole village worked together, it wouldn't be possible.
Lu Xuan didn't know whether he was talking to his family or the audience. "You'll know later. Let's continue. I have most of the tools here: kitchen knives, iron pots, and containers for storing finished products. But I do need a few more people to help."
He couldn't do all the delicate work, such as making meatballs, pickling and kneading ham, and helping to skim off the foam when making bone soup, so he had to "outsource" it.
"Besides, processed meat alone is bound to be a bit greasy..." Lu Xuan's eyes fell on the cleaned table, thinking that there was still a classic missing from today's burrito ingredients...
"Let's soak some soybeans and let them sprout. They're quite refreshing when served cold or used in soup. Hmm... I'm guessing this will require quite a few baskets. Let's order some from skilled craftspeople in the village. I'll pay them with wild boar meat or fruit."
After being reminded by him, Lu Qing couldn't help but say, "Since we're going to sprout bean sprouts, why not ask Uncle Liu to make some tofu?"
Lu Xuan agreed: "It's a good idea. Not only tofu, but also soy milk, tofu pudding, bean curd skin, and bean curd sticks."
Lei Yan joined their conversation: "Bean dregs are also good, they can be used to make bean dregs cakes."
Lu Chen raised his hand and said, "I like bean curd cakes. They have a strong bean flavor and are delicious!"
Lu Xuan nodded, "Then bring back the bean dregs as well."
Lu Qing said, "In that case, we'll have to give Uncle Liu more compensation."
Lu Xuan: "Don't we have a lot of wild boar meat at home? We can use pork as payment. We can have as much as you want. The Liu family shouldn't mind stockpiling more meat."
Lu Qing nodded. "Alright, then how much tofu do you want to order?"
Lu Xuan made a gesture and said, "If you want to order, order more. Just order 100 panels."
Lu Qing: “!”
Lei Yan and Lu Chen were stunned again. So much? Could they finish it?
Audience in the live broadcast room: This is a big deal, it really has the familiar taste and the familiar host.
Lei Yan reminded: "The Liu family probably doesn't have that many tofu boxes."
The Liu family used to sell tofu to the villagers. One plate of tofu was enough for the whole village a day, and they were lucky to have three or five tofu boxes as backup. How could they have hundreds of them?
Lu Xuan smiled and said, "If it's not enough, we can ask a carpenter to help make it. It will be just right for us to inspect the box together. It will also save us from finding extra tools to pack it. It's easy to break the tofu when changing the box."
"As for worrying about not being able to finish it, that's unnecessary. A plate of tofu weighs only 30 kilograms. With my appetite, I can consume 4 or 5 kilograms in one meal. A plate is only enough for five meals. If I don't make more, I'm afraid it will be gone in a few days.
But making 100 boards at once does take quite a bit of work, so let's do it in batches, 20 boards at a time, in five batches. I'll need 100 jin each of tofu skin and bean curd sheets, and five jars each of tofu pudding and soy milk."
Lu Qing: “…”
Lei Yan: “…”
This is the first time I heard that you have to buy soy milk by the jar...I wonder if they will drink soy milk like water in the future?
After discussing today's group, the family quickly got started.
Lu Qing went to the women who stayed behind today and the old people with good craftsmanship to order baskets for sprouting bean sprouts, and also asked for help. Lei Yan went to Carpenter Ye to order tofu boxes and wooden basins.
The wooden basins were mainly designed to hold the water used for bean sprouts. Water was a precious commodity during the hottest season, and even if they had it available, it wouldn't be a good idea to just dump it on the ground. So, they made more wooden basins so that the water could be recycled.
Lu Xuan went to talk to Tofu Liu in person.
