Chapter 222
Yu Sui looked around and saw that there was no more work to do, so he asked them to help gut the fish.
The meal kit is simple to prepare, and the rest of the work doesn’t require many people.
Karan was a calm person. She asked Dolly, who was already restless, to take Ellie and other dwarves to help, while she stayed to make rice dumplings with Yu Sui.
The steamed potatoes were placed in a bowl and Karan used a wooden stick to mash them into a paste.
The freed-up pot was just right for steaming rice. Now that the Heitu tribe had enough food, Yu Sui finally got to eat all kinds of staple foods as he wished, and white rice was also his favorite.
After all these were prepared, Yu Sui broke off the cabbage leaves, soaked them in water and washed them one by one.
At this time, Dolly, Qiu and others came in carrying cleaned fish, river shrimps and a dozen millstone-sized clams.
Yu Sui walked over with his kitchen knife in hand and couldn't help but drop his jaw in surprise, saying, "Wow, he's really fat!"
Compared with these large fish, the kitchen knife in his hand was horribly small.
Using it to cut this fish, it will take forever...
Qiu saw his eyes switching back and forth between the fish and the kitchen knife. He laughed a few times and then stretched out his sharp claws, "Okay, let me do it. Xiaoyu Sui, take your knife and stay away."
Yu Sui touched his nose dejectedly, walked away with a kitchen knife, and asked Qiu Lai to cut the fish meat, while he went to devein the prawns.
The frozen sea fish brought back from the seaside is of course less fishy than river fish, but the quality of fresh fish and shrimp cannot be compared with frozen seafood.
Just like the river shrimp in his hand, the meat is chewy and plump, and can be cooked raw or marinated.
However, the parasites in river fish are also terrible, and Yu Sui doesn't like to eat anything raw, so he gave up the idea.
He thought of the lobsters he caught when refining salt. The meat was absolutely amazing when it was fresh, but unfortunately the journey was long, so he was lucky to have only river shrimp to eat.
"By the way, cut this fish into thin slices, and cut the rest into sections. I want to use the fish slices to make sauerkraut fish." Yu Sui turned to Qiu and said. Of course, sauerkraut fish is more delicious and flavorful with fish slices. It always feels wrong to make sauerkraut fish with lumps of fish.
Qiu frowned in embarrassment, "Xiao Yu Sui, the fish is so tender and you asked me to slice it thinly. I'm afraid it will turn into minced meat for you."
Yu Sui patted his forehead. He was used to ordering warriors like Qi and Xu, and forgot that not every snow wolf could control the strength so accurately.
"Then let's keep this fish and cut it when we get back later."
Qiu took the fat, black fish several meters long to the side and cut the other fish into pieces according to Yu Sui's request. He muttered, "Only you can order Qilai to do such a messy job."
It's not that Qi is particularly fierce, it's just that he has been more mature than his peers since he was a child, and unlike the generally carefree snow werewolves, he is not as honest and straightforward. Therefore, the snow werewolves in the tribe have a natural sense of awe and distance towards Qi. Maybe it's the intuition of single-celled organisms...
Being so close, Yu Sui of course heard it and his ears couldn't help but turn red.
Humph, since Qi is his partner now, it’s only natural for him to order him around.
It seems that before they became partners, Yu Sui often ordered Qi to do this and that...
After removing the shrimp threads from the fresh prawns, Yu Sui opened the shells of a few of them, revealing the tender shrimp meat.
The tribe makes a lot of tofu every few days. Recently, the weather has been good and it is impossible to freeze it for storage, so the amount of tofu made in the canteen has been reduced. Basically, it is made and eaten now.
It happened that tofu was made today. As soon as Yu Sui walked into the cafeteria today, he smelled the rich aroma of tofu, so he decided to make fish soup tofu.
This is different from the fish head tofu soup that Yu Sui had made before. For this soup, the fish is first fried until both sides are golden brown, then put into boiling water to stew the soup until all the fish is melted into the soup, and then use a colander to scoop out the residue in the soup.
The orcs around him stared in surprise as they watched Yu Sui cook a huge fish like magic, leaving only a pot of milky white soup and a pile of fish bones, with not much meat left.
In front of everyone, Yu Sui put the tofu and shrimp cut into small pieces into the fish soup. The fish soup was already delicious enough, so he only added salt and a little pepper for seasoning.
In order to make the soup look better, he sprinkled chopped green onions on it, which added a lot of color. The red shrimp meat, white tofu, and green chopped green onions looked very appetizing.
The pickled cabbage used in pickled fish is usually Sichuan-style pickled cabbage. Yu Sui doesn’t know how to pickle that kind of cabbage, so he has to use the pickled cabbage in the cafeteria’s cellar instead.
He washed the sauerkraut, cut it into shreds, and put it in a bowl for later use.
The method of braised fish is simple, and Karan can make it too, because she has already stewed the braised fish in a ceramic pot when preparing the dishes.
Thinking that there were still argali people in the tribe, Yu Sui was worried that they would not be able to get used to the river food, so he fried another big pot of shredded potatoes.
Because they hadn't trained for a long time due to the land reclamation, Qi led the warriors in a thorough training session for half a day before returning to the tribe.
Ah Shan had been trained as a typical student the longest because he had been so reluctant when he left the house. He was now walking back with a grin on his face, complaining unhappily, "I still have to go back to the cafeteria to cook. It's already late, and the sun has already set."
Qi gave him a cold look, and Ashan closed his mouth in disappointment.
"As a warrior, you need to fight frequently to increase your strength. You are so lazy, be careful or you will become a hedgehog in the future." Vanilla passed by with an expressionless face. There was no sarcasm on her face, but every word she said was heartbreaking. But Ashan didn't dare to refute her.
"Hehe, hedgehog, hahaha!" Notting laughed out loud, and immediately ran to the front after laughing.
Ashan didn't dare to refute Xiangcao. He was so angry that he had no place to vent it, so he immediately sped up to catch up with Notting and beat him up.
After some training, Xu felt that his tired body, which had been working on the new land for the past few months, had relaxed and he walked lazily.
Suddenly, the aroma of rice came from the direction of the tribe ahead. He raised his head and sniffed the aroma, then said happily to the other warriors, "They must be cooking fish today. I can smell it!"
All the soldiers raised their heads instantly, and when they heard there was a fish, they became alert and twitched their noses wildly.
Qi felt helpless towards his people and quickened his pace to return to the tribe. At the same time, he subtly sniffed the smell in the air. The aroma was obviously the meal cooked by Yu Sui.
Thinking of this, there was more urgency in his eyes.
Yu Sui was leading everyone in packing lunch boxes. The packed lunch boxes were placed on plates, piled up like small hills.
"Brother Qi, you guys are done with training. Come and cut this fish into thin slices. The only thing left is to make the pickled fish."
Seeing the soldiers rushing back, Yu Sui jumped up in surprise and asked others to continue packing. He pulled Qi to the fat fish that was specially left out, pointed at the fish and urged him on.
