Chapter 254
Several people followed Yu Sui to the cellar to get sorghum with great interest. They were not there the last time Yu Sui made sorghum wine, and they had been curious about how Yu Sui made it.
Water was boiled in a large pot, and Karan and Dolly poured out all the sorghum from the cloth bag and sieved it. Only the clean sorghum could be put into the pot to cook.
On the way, Yu Sui went home to get some yeast.
The initial process is not complicated, but the quantity is large. It takes a lot of time to cook dozens of jars of sorghum. Most people would have collapsed from exhaustion long ago.
I'm really exhausted today, Yu Sui thought embarrassedly. Ashan and the others not only prepared lunch but also a snack. Now they have to brew wine with him and prepare dinner later. I guess they don't have enough time.
"Brother Ashan, please find a few people to help, otherwise we won't be able to cook dinner for the tribe later. There are so many people eating today, so find a few more people who can cook to help."
Ashan agreed without hesitation. His previous curiosity about brewing sorghum wine disappeared in the busyness. After hearing Yu Sui's words, he quickly ran out to call for help.
As soon as Notting returned home after dinner, he was dragged out by Ashan. Xu and Xiangcao were not spared and were taken out by Ashan.
Most of the tribe's best cooks are dwarves. With so many orcs suddenly appearing at dinner today, the dwarves might not be able to handle it. Otherwise, we'll have to call in dozens more dwarves...
Xu Yi heard about his troubles and said with a smile: "My mother can go and help. My father's craftsmanship is also quite good."
Aunt Aqing is notoriously bad-tempered, and Ashan couldn't help but hiss.
"What do you mean? I'm going to hit you!" Xu threatened dissatisfiedly. Although his mother had a bad temper, his friends still wanted to punch him.
Ah Shan couldn't beat Xu, and his face instantly turned into a sunflower smile. "Of course it's no problem. I'm just afraid of tiring Auntie Qing!"
Vanilla, who was standing by, witnessed the whole thing and rolled her eyes.
"Ake and his sister Lily are both talented in cooking. If we add them two, we'll have enough manpower."
Notting held his chin and thought for a while before speaking.
Whenever he has time, he would go to look for Ashan, and occasionally he would run into Ake and Lily coming to help. The brother and sister both had the same shy personality and were very careful when doing their work. Now they could even help cut vegetables.
After making the decision, Xu went home to find his father and mother, while Ashan and others went to find Ake and Lily.
…
On Yu Sui's side, the sorghum was almost cooked, and the entire cafeteria was filled with hot steam wafting from the kitchen.
No one could stand the heat in the cafeteria, so they opened all the windows for ventilation. Finally, they couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that there was still so much sorghum that had not been cooked, they simply abandoned the stove built in the kitchen, built a few fires in the open space outside, and placed the pots on top of them.
In order to speed up the process, Yu Sui also brought over his own large iron pot, and the canteen was filled with the fragrance of food.
Soon, Ashan, who had gone to call for help, returned with his men. Yu Sui spotted Xu's mother, Aqing, from a distance and stood up from Qi's side with a somersault. He had leaned on Qi to rest because he was tired...
"Oh, you're really busy." Ah Qing came over, looked around and said lightly.
Qi replied, "Today we need to brew all the sorghum in the cellar into wine, and also cook for a few hundred more orcs, so we don't have enough manpower."
Fortunately, the small orcs only eat a little more than the dwarves. If they all eat like the snow werewolves and argali, the cafeteria would need at least five or six more chefs. There are already more than a hundred orcs in the tribe, and it is not easy for Ashan and the other three snow werewolves to cook.
Ah Qing had no good feelings towards the son of his mortal enemy. Originally, Ah Qing was somewhat nice to him because he was a friend of his son. But ever since Yu Sui and Qi got together, even that little bit of kindness disappeared.
She snorted coldly and ignored it.
Feng said hurriedly: "Make sorghum wine. The wine brewed by Xiao Sui is delicious. Make more. I will help you."
"Thank you Uncle Feng and Aunt Qing for coming to help, and Akeli, you're here too." Yu Sui walked forward with a smile.
Ak smiled sheepishly, took his sister's hand, and said shyly, "We've been coming to the cafeteria quite often lately, so we can help out a bit."
When the Argali people ate the food cooked by the Snow Werewolves for the first time, they were simply amazed. Especially since Ak no longer had to worry about the chieftain's affairs, he focused on bringing his sister to the cafeteria every day.
His good friend Asa originally wanted to come with him, but Asa had no talent for cooking and broke several bowls. Later, he felt embarrassed to come and would rather go to the brick kiln to make bricks and pull bricks every day.
It just so happened that Yu Sui wanted to add a few more people to the cafeteria, but he hadn't decided who to ask. After all, there were only a few orcs who were good at cooking. He originally wanted to ask Aunt Lu to come, but fortunately he didn't put it into action, otherwise today's scene would have been even more interesting.
With more people working, work can be done faster. Except for the sorghum which needs to be cooked slowly, the ingredients for cooking can be cut quickly. We just need to wait for the last bit of sorghum to be cooked before putting it in the pot.
I didn’t realize Ah Qing was such a good cook. It seems that the simple life of the snow wolves in the past buried many good chefs.
Yu Sui was adding yeast to the cooled sorghum, and Qi followed behind with a long wooden stick, stirring it.
After the sorghum was prepared, Qi began to seal the mouth of the jar. He skillfully found yellow mud and added water to make it into mud. He then sealed the mouth of the jar with several layers of linen cloth and then sealed it tightly with mud.
After fermenting for more than a month, the sorghum wine can be distilled for the first time.
Yu Sui had tried it last time when he made sorghum wine. Sorghum that has been steamed once can be fermented a second or third time. If it is fermented more than that, it will have no taste.
However, the taste of the wine will definitely become weaker each time. The first time is a bit too strong, the second time is much softer, and the third time is a bit weak. The best way to drink it is to add the three times together, which has the best taste and the alcohol content is not as high as the first time.
It was already a risk for Dahua and other tiger warriors to stay for a month. They probably couldn't wait for the second or third fermentation.
But maybe the tiger tribe just likes strong liquor, it's hard to say.
The large clay pots filled with sorghum had to be placed in the cellar to avoid direct sunlight. After the mud dried up a little, everyone moved the clay pots to the cellar of the cafeteria. The sorghum had just been used up and a lot of space had been freed up.
Ah Qing and others also started cooking. Every big pot was busy, emitting a different aroma.
I had just ground tofu this morning, and there was a lot of bean dregs left. Dolly added batter, diced meat, and other seasonings to it, and baked them into bean dregs cakes.
"Xiao Yu Sui, why are there so many orcs in the tribe today?"
While I was busy, a big reddish-brown bull's head popped out from the kitchen door.
