Chapter 124
The grilled octopus cooked very quickly. A group of people gathered around, waiting to be fed with great anticipation. The aroma spread in the air, making the snow wolves eager to try it.
At the same time, Yu Sui was not idle either. He took some octopus tentacles into the house and made stir-fried octopus in an iron pan on the stove. Yu Sui cut the octopus meat into small pieces and sprinkled chopped green onions and red dried chili strips on it when it was out of the pan. The color was attractive and the aroma was fragrant, which made people's appetite increase just by looking at it.
Shuyu was sitting at the dining table, eating the teppanyaki octopus slowly and leisurely. His movements were so pleasing to the eye that it seemed as if he was having a state banquet rather than a large plate of rich teppanyaki.
Yu Sui brought the stir-fried octopus to the table and called out from the window, "Everyone, come in and eat. It's warm inside."
Notting came in with two large plates of octopus slices, followed by the others. After getting the food, no one paid any attention to the chef, Ashan, who was frying one pot after another with a bitter face.
The dough on the kang had also risen. Yu Sui sprinkled dry flour on the chopping board and kneaded the dough vigorously to release the air.
When kneading the dough, Yu Sui forgot to put sugar in it, so he wrapped sugar in the divided dough and kneaded it into round sugar buns.
When he was a child, the cornmeal steamed buns he ate were choking and sour. Later, when conditions improved, his grandmother would mix white flour into the cornmeal. After the flour was fermented, the steamed buns had the fragrance of corn and were soft and delicious. Yu could eat three of them in one go.
The corn here has a stronger aroma, and its color becomes lighter after being mixed with breadfruit flour. The kneaded small steamed buns are placed on the steamer and soon become round and plump.
When steaming buns, the aroma of the noodles is released with the steam. The completely different mild aroma of the noodles makes the snow wolves involuntarily gather around the pot.
Ah Shan, who was in the yard, came in with a shovel in his hand, sniffing, "What a nice smell! How come it smells even better than the wheat buns I made when I was a teenager!"
Under everyone's expectant gaze, the steamed buns were finally cooked. Yu Sui lifted the lid of the pot, revealing the plump and soft-looking steamed buns inside.
The two steamed buns with sugar added smelled particularly sweet. Yu Sui steamed two full steamers and gave one to each of these people.
"I didn't know you could eat breadfruit and corn this way. It tastes great."
After taking a bite of the sugar bun, Shuyu said thoughtfully.
The snow werewolf on the side was quick enough to swallow the steamed bun in just a few bites, licking his lips while savoring the taste.
“So sweet, soft, and fragrant.”
If he could finish it in just a few mouthfuls like Zhu Bajie eating the ginseng fruit, could he really taste anything? Yu Sui wondered doubtfully, as he hadn't even started eating the one in his hand.
Notting took a big bite, and the sweet syrup inside the steamed bun flowed out. He quickly lowered his head and licked it again.
"This steamed bun is delicious. It turns out that corn can be made into flour. It smells really good." Xu smelled the flavor of corn inside.
Qi ate quickly but not in a mess. "Let's grow more corn next year."
The other soldiers didn't know what corn was, but that didn't stop them from nodding in agreement. Such delicious food must have more of it, the better.
Ashan filled his mouth with food and didn't have time to speak. He just nodded.
"Brother, what delicious food have you made?" Xiaochu came back in a hurry. His voice came in before he arrived, and Xiaohua and other cubs followed behind him.
Yu Sui asked them to wash their hands first, and gave each of them a steamed bun. He wrapped the remaining ones in a cloth bag and asked Xiaohua to take them back for Xiangcao and Kalan to taste.
The Snow Wolf Warriors certainly couldn't be full by eating just these, so after eating the delicious food, they went to the cafeteria one after another.
They all silently recalled the sweet taste of the steamed buns in their hearts, and their anticipation for farming next year increased a little more.
Xiao Yusui said that if they started farming next year, they would be able to eat as many steamed buns as they wanted in the future.
Qi and his companions stayed, as the octopus was enough to feed them.
With nothing to do, Xu didn't want to go home, and stayed with Yu Sui as usual, despite Qi's vague look of disdain.
"Next year we must build a house like this. It's so comfortable." Xu said lazily while lying on the kang.
Xu's home was a tent built with animal skins. It was drafty and damp in winter. His sleeping place was just a straw mat woven from hay, and when it was cold, he would just put a layer of animal skin on it.
It’s nothing like Yu Sui’s new house, which is strong and wind-resistant, and the house is bright. Not to mention the comfortable kang, the bright big windows make a group of snow wolves envious.
The reason why they like to stay outdoors even in winter is because they don’t like the dark feeling indoors.
Even if some snow werewolves live in mud houses, they are still very stuffy. At most, there is a small window, but there is no glass to block the wind. In winter, they can only use fur to cover it, and the whole house is very dark.
Not to mention that there are four basements dug by dwarves under Yu Sui's house, which can keep food fresh and won't spoil easily.
In short, ever since Yu Sui built his new home, the snow wolves in the tribe have been secretly planning to build such a spacious house for themselves next year.
Even the toilet in Yu Sui's house attracted onlookers for a long time. Not to mention the little cubs, even the adult snow werewolves envied the feeling of not having to suffer from the cold in winter.
Yu Sui's original idea was to lead his fellow tribesmen to build a new house and let them abandon their tents and mud houses.
Now that Lian Xu has said so, it seems that his goal has been achieved.
Snow werewolves are very strong, and their claws are sharper than most weapons, making them adept at farming and construction.
If this happened in the previous life, many unscrupulous bosses would have scrambled to get it. No wonder the orcs are so powerful that there are still mercenary groups who go against the wind and steal the cubs.
It’s just a pity that the orcs have not yet developed their own civilization and still rely on hunting for a living. The tribes are divided into pieces. Although they have such powerful strength, they live a miserable life.
Yu Sui thought of the dilapidated mud house and leaky thatched roof when he first arrived, as well as the shock brought by the tribesmen's simple animal skin houses. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that Uncle Heiyan had rescued the group of skilled craftsmen from the Tu tribe, otherwise he wouldn't be able to build his house now. After all, Yu Sui was just a clumsy person who had only read the theory but never put it into practice.
Xiaochu also rolled around there after dinner, while Shuyu meditated in the corner.
According to him, since he was injured, his magic power has dropped to the level of an apprentice magician, and he needs to practice continuously to improve it.
Qi helped Yu Sui carry coal blocks from the yard to the house. Because Yu Sui had returned, Lu did not accept Yu Sui's invitation to stay and returned to her own home. Qi did not go home with her, but continued to stay with Yu Sui.
Maybe Yu Sui got used to living with them during the journey, so he didn't feel uncomfortable with them staying in his house after they came back. Shu Yu had to live in their house anyway, so it didn't matter if there were two more people.
