Chapter 280
Ashan came back shouting and yelling, carrying a large pile of bamboo shoots with black soil still hanging on them. Notting and Lanlos behind him also brought back a lot of bamboo shoots, either carrying or on their backs.
"Xiao Yu Sui, there are lots of bamboo shoots there. Now we have another ingredient!"
Ake said with a smile: "They grow very fast, and it's easy to trip when picking them if you're not careful."
Yu Sui Shen agreed with this. He had heard in his previous life that bamboo grows fast. It is said that it grows even faster when it rains, and the speed is visible to the naked eye.
"That's great! If I had known about this kind of food earlier, I could have saved so much food." Notting sighed as he unloaded the bamboo shoots.
"Sliced bamboo shoots can be preserved for a while in water, but they won't last through the winter. However, they can improve everyone's taste during this season."
Yu Sui walked over and said.
There were so many fresh bamboo shoots. Yu Sui thought about it and asked Ashan and Notting to peel some and cut them into small pieces one by one.
"Why don't you put it in the grinder and grind it directly? It's so troublesome to cut it like this." Ashan complained while cutting.
"The chopped bamboo shoots are delicious when used to make buns. The ones ground in a blender don't have that same taste." Yu Sui explained that the taste of food is sometimes related to its shape. For example, potato shreds cut by hand taste better than those grated with tools, and cabbage shredded by hand tastes better than those cut with a knife.
"Oh well."
For the sake of the food’s taste, the famous foodie Ashan endured it and silently cut the bamboo shoots.
Lanluos squatted beside Yu Sui like a puppy, sniffed the bamboo shoot and meat filling he had just prepared, and said happily, "It smells so good, do you want to make some dumplings?"
He stayed in the cafeteria for a while and watched Kalan and others making dumplings. When he was reclaiming the land, he also ate a lot of dumplings made by the dwarves.
"Yes, have you learned how to make buns? We'll also make dumplings later."
Yu Sui, who was stirring the minced meat vigorously with a pair of extra-long chopsticks, replied after hearing this.
"Not yet..." Lanluos was a little frustrated, but he quickly cheered up, "I can learn from you!"
With Yu Sui around, everyone tacitly handed over the seasoning task to him, and the others started to busy themselves with other work.
Although he didn't have to do anything else, Yu Sui's arms were sore from stirring so many pots of stuffing.
Seeing this, Lanlos snatched the bowl from his hand and asked Yu Sui to put various seasonings in it, while he was responsible for stirring it. It must be said that this dragon was just right for doing this kind of brainless work, and each bowl of meat filling was stirred very evenly.
With Lanros's strength, I'll let him stir the filling for the fried meatballs next time. The meatballs will definitely be chewy.
When the dough was ready, Kalan, Aqing and others came over one after another. Ellie and other dwarves also finished their housework and just made time to make dumplings.
Lanluos sat next to Yu Sui, frantically kneading the dough and meat filling. The buns he made were extremely ugly. Fortunately, the buns were steamed directly in the pot, so there was no need to worry about the filling revealing.
When it came to making dumplings, Yu Sui didn't let him participate. It was difficult to make big dumplings, and the dumplings he made could no longer be made into noodle soup when put into the pot. Yu Sui didn't want to give his people noodle soup with bamboo shoots and minced meat.
After the meal started, both the orcs and the dwarves praised the taste of the dinner and ate it with their mouths drooling.
The meat buns with thin skin and large fillings, and the dumplings with tender and smooth skin, although they have the same fillings, they each have their own flavor.
In the cafeteria, the small orcs and tigers were separated by snow wolves and argali people. With the delicious food in front of them, everyone temporarily put aside their grudges and concentrated on eating.
Xiaochu, Mimi and the other cubs sat together in front of a large table made up of several tables, talking and laughing while eating. Maomao was reluctantly invited by Hank to sit next to them. He lowered his head a little uncomfortably to eat the buns. He didn't know how to use chopsticks very well, so Fenfen cut a fork out of a branch for him to poke the buns with.
Hui, who had finished his work and came over to eat in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. God knew how worried he was about Maomao, the only kitten left alone, and whether he would be bullied among so many kittens. Maomao was stubborn, and their cat clan lived under other people's roofs and had to look at other people's faces. Even if Maomao was bullied, no one could stand up for him.
He had been worried about this matter and had just cut several potatoes while working. Fortunately, Yuanyuan, who was in charge of supervision, just reminded him. If such a thing happened when he was a slave in the Golden Kingdom, he would definitely be whipped severely.
Now that he saw Maomao was safe and sound, he felt relieved. Moreover, based on his understanding of Maomao, this little guy definitely did not hate these cubs. If he really disliked them, he would not sit there and eat with them. He would run away even if he used all his strength.
Great, they really came to a friendly tribe, Hui was very grateful.
The way this tribe treats its cubs shows its attitude towards the newly joined orcs. Before this, they were worried every day, fearing that it would be another Golden Kingdom.
Having shown trust once, but only to be severely betrayed, the small orcs like Gray have become paranoid and can no longer accept being treated like this a second time.
On the other side, Yu Sui was sitting next to Qi at the table eating, his eyes also wandering among the cubs. After observing for a while, he saw that Maomao was quite sociable, so he withdrew his gaze.
Xu followed his gaze, turned around and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu Sui, are you worried about the cat cubs? Our cubs are all kind-hearted. He will definitely get used to it slowly. Don't worry."
"Xiaohua told me yesterday that she wanted to play with the new cub, so you don't have to be afraid. Xiaohua will also help him integrate into the life of the tribe." Vanilla glanced in the direction of the cub.
Yu Sui smiled and replied, "I worry too much. It's mainly because there's only one cub among so many small orcs. It's really pitiful."
Moreover, if this cub cannot integrate into the other cubs, it will definitely affect the small orcs' trust in the Black Map Tribe. After all, this is the only cub. Regardless of whether they are from the same tribe or not, they will value him because of the same experience.
Qi lowered his head and comforted him: "Relax, you see Hank and him have a good relationship, and the other cubs don't reject him. After a few more days of spending time together, they will be able to play together."
Hank is indeed reliable. Although the dwarf children are younger than the orc cubs, they are much more mature than them. When Yu Sui asked him to take Maomao to play, he obediently took Maomao with him wherever he went.
However, Yu Sui had a question, "By the way, why is there only one little cub among so many small orcs? Especially the rabbit tribe, their fertility rate is higher than ours, how come there is not a single cub that can escape? It's really strange."
Afraid that the small orcs would be sad to hear him, Yu Sui lowered his voice deliberately. Besides, there were other orcs among them and the cafeteria was noisy, so they probably couldn't hear clearly over there.
