Chapter 115
The air was already filled with the rich aroma of rice. Xiaochu sniffed carefully and said, "The rice in the cafeteria today doesn't have a bad smell. It seems that they are cooking fish. It smells so good."
Since the beginning of winter, most of the meals prepared in the canteen are made from the large amount of dried meat and fish stored in the caves. These dried meats that are not salted and directly dried in the sun will naturally smell bad, especially the dried fish, which is fishy and smelly.
In previous years, the Black Rock Tribe did not even have enough smelly dried meat like this to eat. This autumn, the food increased, and the dried meat stored was much more than in previous years. Together with other foods such as dried fish, it was enough for the canteen to feed the tribe every day.
Of course, except for the warriors who consume a lot of energy, everyone else eats in human form in winter. Otherwise, the snow werewolves will eat in beast form and the food in the cave will definitely not be enough.
What's more, the food they exchanged with the minotaurs has not come back yet. With these foods, the werewolves will not starve this winter, and there will even be some surplus.
The dishes cooked in the canteen every day are mainly dried meat and dried fish. Occasionally, the soldiers will bring back prey to improve the food for the tribe members.
In previous years, the Snow Wolves felt lucky to be able to fill their stomachs. This year, they were fed with all kinds of delicious food in the cafeteria, and they were a little uncomfortable eating smelly meat. Fortunately, after being cooked in the cafeteria, it tasted better than eating it directly before.
The food quality declines in winter, and the dwarves basically no longer come to the canteen for meals. They all have stored food and basically cook at home. Unless they are busy and have no time, the dwarves will bite the bullet and eat a meal in the canteen.
There was surprisingly no foul smell in the aroma of food in the cafeteria today. On the way to the cafeteria, the snow wolves Yu Sui met were very surprised and sniffed hard with their noses just like Xiao Chu.
"It smells really good. Let's go eat!" Yu Sui took Xiao Chu's hand and walked briskly to the cafeteria with other snow wolves who smelled the smell and rushed over to eat.
Seeing the two of them, the snow wolves who were waiting in line for food smiled and made way for them, pushing them to the front without saying a word.
"Xiao Yusui is back, why don't you see Heiyan?" Kun was also there, and asked with a smile.
"I saw Qi and the others going out on patrol this morning, and Xu seems to be back too." Another snow werewolf continued.
Yu Sui, who was already accustomed to the unconditional love the snow werewolves showed their cubs, calmly walked to the front and replied as he walked, "We'll come back first to get Uncle Bangbo and the farm tools, and then come back with Uncle Heiyan and the others in a few days with some food."
"Yes, there are more dwarves this year, and they also need to exchange for food." Kun said with sudden realization.
Karan picked up a plate with a smile on his face and piled food on it with a big rice spoon.
"You must be tired from the journey. Eat more. Today we will cook with the sea fish you brought back. It's said that the fish in the sea tastes better than the fish in our river."
No wonder it smells so good. Seeing Kalan piled a large plate full of stewed fish for him without stopping, Yu Sui hurriedly shouted, "Okay, okay, this is enough for us to eat."
"You are the chief of the tribe now. You have to do a lot of things every day. How can you not eat more? You see you have lost weight." Kalan gave him another big spoonful of fish meat without saying anything, and then handed it to Yu Sui.
Whether on Earth or in another world, the elders always feel that their children have become thinner when they see them. During the time Yu Sui was away from home, he ate well all the way and even felt that he had gained a little weight.
"Xiao Yu Sui, come and try the fried shrimp nuggets I made! The shrimp you brought back are big and tender, not smelly at all."
Ashan was waving a shovel and calling him from the other side across the crowd of snow wolves. Before he could get over, a large plate of fried golden and crispy shrimp was passed to him from the crowd.
"He is the best cook among us now. When we went to get the ingredients today, he noticed the extra fish and shrimp in it at a glance. He made these two dishes." Karan said with a smile.
Ah Shan's talent in food was so strong that Yu Sui had never expected it. It seemed that everyone had unknown potential waiting to be discovered. But he didn't expect that Ah Shan, a warrior, actually had a skill point in the canteen chef...
Xiaochu brought fish and Yu Sui brought a plate of shrimps, and they walked to the empty seats.
This canteen, half of its foundation destroyed by Ashan's punch, is now very bright after it was built. The glass was made by the dwarves later and is very transparent. The walls are also smoothed with gray cement, making it clean and tidy.
The tables and chairs in the cafeteria were no longer the dozen or so that Yu Sui and Kalan had rushed to make. Instead, the dwarves later made long rows of tables and chairs modeled after the school cafeteria as Yu Sui suggested, divided into two areas for dwarves and snow wolves.
The two races have different heights and require tables and chairs of different heights. Yu Sui and Xiao Chu can sit just fine on the dwarf's table. The table and chairs specially designed for snow wolves are okay for Yu Sui, but Xiao Chu can only use the top of his head.
The clean and bright cafeteria makes people feel much better when dining, and the air is fresher than the animal skin tents used as a transition at the beginning.
The aroma of today's food also attracted the dwarves. Seeing their smiles and the smiles of the snow wolves, Yu Sui felt more and more that the decision to build this cafeteria was clear.
Today's two dishes use the frozen shrimps and fish that Yu Sui brought back from the beach. The most practical cooking technique that Ashan learned from Yu Sui is to remove the fishy smell from meat.
The stove is now lit in the canteen every day to ensure the temperature of the meals. In addition, the kitchen is busy cooking every day, so the temperature in the canteen is warmer than many people's homes. Ashan followed Yu Sui's example and planted several pots of wild onions.
The sea fish is large in size, so Ashan cuts it into large chunks when stewing it. He uses onion segments and garlic slices to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor of the fried fish chunks, and also pours a little white wine. He stews the fish until it is cooked and the soup is rich. Every bite melts in your mouth and is full of flavor.
For the fried shrimp, Ashan removed the shrimp heads and chopped the whole shrimp body into pieces without peeling it. He coated it with a thin layer of batter and fried it together with the skin until it was crispy and golden. When you bite it, you can find that the skin is crispy and the meat is firm, tender and juicy, with distinct layers of taste.
The batter and shrimp skin were fried crispy, and the shrimp meat was sweet. Yu Sui ate the delicious stewed fish and fried shrimp with his mouth full, and gave Ashan a thumbs up in his heart.
Great, Ashan has completed his training perfectly!
Everyone in the cafeteria was enjoying the food in silence. Those who had finished eating put their plates in the storage basin and loudly praised Ashan's cooking skills.
"Ashan's cooking is getting better and better every day!"
"Haha, now Heiyan will definitely not urge you to go to training. It's a pity that Ashan doesn't cook."
Amidst everyone's praise, Ashan gradually lost himself, holding his chest high with an expression that was both proud and complacent.
After distributing food to the tribesmen who had arrived one after another, Ashan brought a plate to Yu Sui's side and sat down to eat with him, while Karan and others went home to bring food to their families.
