Chapter 155
The Minotaur's imagination about food was too limited. When it came to the sauce, he could only think of soaking it in water and drinking it. Yu Sui was a little amused and helpless.
"This is a sauce made from beans and wheat flour. We used it to season our barbecue last night. It can also be used in stews and soups. It has many uses."
Bereya exclaimed, "We used it to grill the meat last night. Xiuer brought me a few cooked ones. They tasted much better than what we grilled ourselves."
With this sauce, they will be able to make barbecue with this flavor in the future. Berea was very happy.
Knowing that the cubs wouldn't let them taste something for no reason, Chief Xiuer, who had participated in the banquet yesterday, smiled and said, "Little Chief, do you want to use this to exchange for food with us?"
Yu Sui shook his head. "The tribe didn't have much food before, and the sauce I made was very little. This is the last of our stock. We'll have to wait a few months if we want more."
Notting and others sighed with regret behind him.
Xiuer was a little confused, "So, you want to?"
"I want to use the sauce recipe to exchange for food. Just like tofu, the Tauren can also use the sauce to trade with other tribes in the future." Yu Sui said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, Chief Xuul was immediately moved. The Tauren are now well-fed and want to improve their quality of life, not to mention that sauces can also be made into commodities. It would be strange if they were not tempted.
Heiyan and Bangbo looked at Yu Sui with gratified eyes, feeling deeply that their young chief had grown a lot and could now make his own decisions. Moreover, the sauce recipe was completely Yu Sui's personal thing, yet he was willing to exchange it for food with the tribe.
After pondering for a while, Xiuer looked at Yu Sui seriously and said, "Of course we want to exchange. Whether we want to eat it ourselves or make it into a commodity in the future, this sauce is a good choice. It's just a matter of the specific price..."
"Ah? I haven't thought about this yet..." Yu Sui was caught off guard by the question and scratched his head worriedly.
It was a waste of praise. Heiyan and Bombur covered their aching foreheads in unison, a rare move.
Who proposes a deal without first considering the price? It's really unreliable! Xiaoyu Sui! Heiyan roared madly in his heart.
But he still forced a smile on his face, "In that case, then you decide the price, Chief Xiuer."
The thorny problem was pushed to Xiuer again. He couldn't help but look embarrassed and pondered for a long time.
"How about this? Together with the animal hides, magic cores, pottery, and white wine from before, plus this recipe, we can trade a total of 5 million kilograms of grain, plus 500,000 kilograms of vegetables. How do you think that is?"
After Xiuer finished speaking, everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and looked at him in shock. Only Berea remained calm.
"Actually, Xiuer and I have been discussing this for the past few days. The price was temporarily adjusted due to the addition of sauce, but we had already agreed on the rest before. This amount of food is not much." Belea said soothingly.
Yu Sui's eyes widened, and he could hardly believe his ears.
Isn't that a lot? A full adult werewolf in human form eats nearly two hundred kilograms of food every day. Their tribe, including the cubs, only has a little over a hundred people. Even if they only eat the food and nothing else, this amount of food is enough for their tribe to eat for half a year!
You should know that in the past, the Heitu tribe only exchanged a maximum of one million kilograms of grain, and combined with the tribe’s dried meat, the tribe members never went hungry that year.
And now the Tauren are actually offering five million kilograms of grain to trade with them. Even though they have prepared more goods than in previous years because they did not exchange goods with human caravans this year, it is still far from this level. Now not only do the tribesmen have food, but they also have more seeds.
Yu Sui said in surprise and doubt: "Chief Xiuer, is this true? The sauce recipe is worth so much?"
A rough estimate shows that, excluding the goods they brought, Xuer paid almost three million for this formula alone.
Even if the minotaurs like to eat it, it is just a seasoning. It cannot increase the weight of food like tofu, and is not worth so much food.
Xiuer laughed, his eyes softening, "Not only the sauce, but also the price of the tofu recipe."
Glancing around at everyone in the room, he continued, "The tofu recipe can bring us more than this much food. Even if you're using it in exchange for us teaching you how to farm, we can't accept it with a clear conscience. This price isn't much."
Yu Sui was deeply moved. Wow, what kind of divine race is this? They don’t take advantage of others and are so friendly.
"Then I won't refuse. Thank you, Chief Xiuer. Now we don't have to save food and we have enough seeds."
Bereya gently stroked his head and said, "You, the young clan leader, worry about so much. Be careful not to exhaust yourself."
Yu Sui, who was actually an adult at heart, blushed with embarrassment.
Heiyan also sighed: "Chief Xiuer, you have been of great help."
"We are mutually beneficial. Other races will definitely like tofu and sauces. Then we can trade a lot of good things." Xiuer said with a smile.
But after all, it was the Minotaur who was specifically helping them. Yu Sui was grateful and suddenly had an idea and said, "Aunt Berea, let me teach you how to make dough!"
"Leaf dough? Is it made like white bread? The steamed buns last night were really soft, as soft as the white bread made by dwarves!" Berea was very surprised.
The dwarves also tried to teach the tauren how to make dough, but they mostly used fermented grape juice, which was hard to come by. Humans kept a tight control over their grape plantations, and in order to make wine and sell it at a good price, it was difficult to buy grapes without channels.
This thing is also difficult to buy from the caravan, and only a few dwarves have some, and most of them are reluctant to use it.
Before the age of 18, in addition to spending a lot of time letting the dough ferment naturally, you can use the reserved old dough to ferment the dough as long as conditions permit.
It was not until he got corn from the Minotaur and ground the cornmeal after drying it that Yu Sui was able to make yeast powder.
It is much more convenient to have yeast powder. You can bring a packet with you when you go out and sprinkle a little on it when making dough. The dough will rise quickly. You can save a lot of time and you don’t have to worry about forgetting to keep the old dough.
There wasn't much flour left from last night's grinding, so Notting volunteered to grind the flour despite having bruises all over his face.
Yu Sui took out a bag of yeast powder from his luggage. He also brought some pure alkali just in case.
The orcs were grinding flour very quickly. Yu Sui filled a basin with flour and sprinkled in yeast powder. He said to Berea, who was watching attentively, "This is yeast powder. It can speed up fermentation, and it won't become sour as long as it's not fermented for too long."
This is very rare. Dough made with old flour or naturally fermented dough will have a sour taste no matter how many times it is proofed. Unless it is neutralized with pure alkali, the pasta made will have an unpleasant sour taste and will not be as fluffy.
