Chapter 159 Dark Cuisine
On the stone slab was a yellow, muddy substance that looked extremely eerie and unbearable to look at.
Mu Ling was grinding something with a wooden stick when she heard this and quickly replied.
"We're making potato noodles!"
"Although we don't have the conditions for sedimentation right now, it seems like it's okay if we don't settle it! We can grind it into a paste first, then freeze it into strips, and then cook it!"
Jiang Xi covered her face.
She said tactfully, "Stop making a fuss, let's eat something else."
Who came up with such a brilliant idea?
Lu Liufeng couldn't help but speak up.
"If the starch in the mashed potatoes is not extracted through sedimentation, it cannot be coagulated into strips. If you put it in the pot to cook, it will still break into a mashed state."
Yi Yuexi didn't believe it. "That shouldn't be the case."
Mu Ling also said, "Why not?"
Lu Liufeng sighed inwardly, too lazy to argue with them.
"You guys give it a try."
They wouldn't give up until they hit a brick wall; once they failed, they understood the consequences themselves.
He went to the luggage area and rummaged through it. After confirming that the potato noodles were gone, he apologized to the female owner.
"There's no more potato noodles, so the mistress will have to make do with meat."
Jiang Xi didn't care about such things; she waved her hand dismissively.
"I'll eat anything!"
Lu Liufeng took out the various seasonings he had brought and seasoned the beef in the two pots in the valley, as well as the roasted beef leg and roasted pork chops on the fire stand.
The beastmen looked at the powder in his hand with curiosity.
"What's this?"
Lu Liufeng said.
"Grind chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns and other seasonings into powder. It will taste great when you spread some on your grill."
The orcs looked like they had learned something. One of them sliced off a piece of meat, tasted it, and gave it a thumbs up repeatedly.
Lu Liufeng didn't cook a special meal for him; he just seasoned the meat that the beastmen had made.
Mu Ling and Yi Yuexi squatted by the fire, dug a small stone pot, and were cooking so-called frozen mashed potato strips in it.
Of course, the result was self-evident.
A pot of yellow soup.
Lu Liufeng ignored the two of them, used a wooden bowl to slice roast beef and pork chops for the female master, and ladled out a bowl of beef soup.
Jiang Xi sat on the large rock, took it, and thanked her.
The valley was quite large, and the beastmen each took their own food and sat down in twos and threes.
Seeing that the female master had already started eating, Yi Yuexi tasted a mouthful of the potato soup that she and Mu Ling had made from potato noodles.
Then, his brows furrowed deeply.
"Pour it out! Pour it out! Pour it out now!"
Mu Ling was puzzled.
"Is it really that bad?"
He took a bite too, and then, like him, his face turned pale.
"What the hell is this?! Yi Yuexi, can't you even cook?!"
"What?! I can't cook?! Wasn't this your idea?!"
"..."
The two were arguing by the pot.
Jiang Xi, Lu Liufeng, and Huo Lun sat on a large rock, calmly eating their meal.
The beastmen in the valley were no longer disturbed; they were all eating their meat and didn't even glance in Mu Ling and Yi Yuexi's direction.
The two of them had been tinkering with it all afternoon.
At first, they even took a look, thinking that the female envoy had really taught them some new dishes.
But as I looked at it, I lost my appetite.
So when they saw the two fail, they actually thought, "I knew it."
Mu Ling and Yi Yuexi had no choice but to also retrieve the beef and pork chops that the beastmen had roasted together, as well as the beef soup.
The beef soup was piping hot; adding a little chili made it feel warm all over.
The two men carried their bowls to the female master's side. Since there were no large stones beside her, they stood in front of her to eat.
As Jiang Xi sipped her soup, she occasionally felt the gazes of the two men upon her, which inexplicably sent a chill down her spine.
Finally, unable to bear the atmosphere any longer, she couldn't help but speak up.
"If you can't do it, then don't bother doing it again..."
"Just help Lu Liufeng wash the vegetables and dishes, that'll be fine..."
Not everyone in a family needs to be a chef.
Lu Liufeng lifted his eyes and glanced at the two of them.
"If you really want to learn, go back and learn properly from me. There's no such opportunity out there right now, so don't bother trying."
Mu Ling snorted.
"We just want the female master to have a good meal."
Yi Yuexi's gaze fell on the female master, and she spoke in a wounded tone.
"We just thought that since the female master had hot pot for lunch, she wanted something light for the afternoon, so we thought of making potato noodles..."
"From now on, we will definitely learn from Lu Liufeng so that the female master can eat whatever she wants whenever she wants."
Jiang Xi found their stories becoming increasingly absurd.
But considering that the two meant well, he had no choice but to speak up.
"Okay, okay, I know. Hurry up and eat, or the cursed beast will crawl out before you finish eating."
As soon as she finished speaking, Hollen's voice suddenly rang out.
"The cursed beast... has emerged."
A deafening roar came from the black hole, and huge black claws clung to the edge of the black hole, reaching outwards.
Jiang Xi held the bowl, dumbfounded.
I'm such a jinx!
Some of the orcs had already finished eating, so they quickly used their powers to block them.
"How did they get here so fast! It's not even completely dark yet!"
"Damn it! We misjudged!"
The other orcs also sped up their food-eating, quickly finishing their roasted meat and beef soup.
Jiang Xi was still being cared for by Mu Ling.
Lu Liufeng patted Mu Ling on the shoulder.
"Protect the female master and keep her away from here."
Mu Ling downed the beef soup in one gulp, threw down the bowl, snatched the bowl from the female master's hand, hugged her, and disappeared into the valley.
The next time it appeared, it was in the tree nest where the female had slept for an afternoon.
Jiang Xi looked completely bewildered and hadn't even realized what was happening before she sat down in the tree hollow.
The next second, the beef soup bowl that had been snatched away was shoved into her hands, and the wooden bowl containing beef and pork chops was placed in front of her.
Mu Ling was still holding a grilled pork chop in his hand. He took a bite and said with great pride.
"The female master can continue eating."
Jiang Xi glanced at the bowl of beef soup that hadn't spilled a drop, then looked at the colorful supernatural lights in the valley below, and fell silent.
Never mind, let's eat first.
Jiang Xi held the bowl and sipped the beef soup slowly.
She would glance down every now and then, though she couldn't see anything, but she always felt more at ease after looking down a few more times.
Mu Ling finished the ribs in a few bites. He sat in the tree hollow, tilting his head to watch the female master eat, his eyes full of satisfaction.
Jiang Xi couldn't stand his gaze, so she gestured towards the roast beef and pork chops in the wooden bowl.
"You eat it, I can't eat that much."
She had actually eaten almost all of it.
It's just that it's cold, so drinking beef soup is very comforting and warming.
Mu Ling shook her head.
"I won't eat it, give it to the mistress."
Jiang Xi: "I'm full, you can eat. If you leave it like this, it will get cold and won't taste good."
Mu Ling hesitated, and Jiang Xi continued.
"There are still so many down there, we can just go get them later."
Of course, she only said this to Mu Ling.
There's no reason for her and Mu Ling to run around causing trouble and stealing food when the beastmen are fighting.
