Chapter 40
In fact, Yu Sui had wanted to get rid of the fish-scale knife a long time ago, but it was better than using his claws. As the saying goes, one can only see the forest for the trees, but he didn't realize that the dwarf was an expert in weapons and could make him a kitchen knife.
"How could I forget? Uncle, the knives you make are much better. They are much better than the ones I made with fish scales."
He looked at the shiny machete in his hand with admiration. Afraid of using too much force and breaking the ground into pieces, Yu Sui took the sheep's hoof outside, put a wooden board underneath, and chopped it hard with the machete.
With a clang, a white mark appeared on the sheep's hoof. Yu Sui, his face filled with gloom, took out another monster's hoof and chopped it off again.
The sheep's hoof just now should have come from some high-level magical beast. It didn't move at all after the knife was cut on it.
Now after the hoof was chopped off by his machete, it was split in half and the machete was stuck inside.
He stepped on the monster's hoof with his foot and pulled it out with all his strength. After a while, the big knife loosened a little. He exerted force suddenly and fell backwards with the big knife.
Rob hurriedly reached out to grab him, but a figure was faster than him and supported Yu Sui.
Yu Sui, still in shock, leaned on the visitor's shoulder and pulled his ears to calm himself down.
Emma, he almost fell on his butt, that was too ugly. This idea became stronger after seeing Uncle Robert with his arms outstretched next to him. If it was Uncle Robert who caught him, he would have been crushed by him.
He turned his head to see which kind-hearted person saved him. A figure in the backlight of the sun smiled at him gently, revealing his snow-white teeth.
"Xiao Yu Sui, you're too stupid to even cut this."
Scratching his head in shame, Yu Sui kicked the machete that fell to the side.
"This hoof is too hard and it got stuck. Thank you, Brother Xu, otherwise I would have fallen badly today."
"Haha, Xiaoyu, what delicious food have you made again? It smells so good. This is your new bar in the yard. Those dwarves are even more excited than when you built the house."
Notting's loud voice rang out at the gate of the yard.
Yu Sui peeked over from in front of Xu and saw that several people had arrived. They probably just came back from hunting and looked exhausted. Notting and Xiangcao were both holding a bunch of pheasants in their hands.
Qi, who was thought not to come, was standing at the door. Maybe it was because of the rumors, his face was still very gloomy, but it was a great honor that he came.
"Come in, thank you for the pheasants!" he greeted them happily.
Several people walked into the yard with their prey. Passing by the cauldron for distilling white wine, Notting looked down at the wine in the jar curiously.
Barlow had already changed several wine barrels for Yu Sui. Now the flow of wine slowed down again, dripping. Notting was about to grab it, but Vanilla opened it with a ruthless snap.
"What are we going to drink if you soil the wine?" she said angrily.
After a few innocent laughs, Notting said, "It smelled so good, I couldn't help it."
Xusong opened his hand on Yu Sui's shoulder. It seemed that they had misunderstood their relationship.
Just now, Xiao Yusui was about to fall to the ground, but Qi was not the first to run over to pick him up. If he had not run fast, seeing how hard Xiao Yusui had just exerted, he would have fallen and been hurt.
Yu Sui pulled the pheasants to the well, took out several large basins and began to wash them.
The necks of these pheasants were twisted off, so there was no need to bleed them. After Yu Sui cleaned the feathers, he neatly cut them into pieces.
Separate the chicken legs and wings, and chop the other parts into pieces and pile them together.
He has become familiar with them now, so he doesn't need to greet them specifically. They will find food on their own anyway.
Sure enough, Notting soon found the big basin of tofu balls. He didn't eat them alone (for fear of being beaten), but called Vanilla and others to come over and taste them together.
Ignoring him, Xu picked up the machete that Yu Sui had just used and easily chopped the hooves into small pieces. He was used to using his claws, so it felt good to use a tool occasionally.
After dealing with the hoof, Xu saw Qi standing silently in the yard. Thinking of her previous misunderstanding of him, she called him over to eat meatballs with her as if to make up for it.
Qi walked over in silence.
His face was still gloomy. Xu wondered if he was still angry about their previous speculation, so she handed him a bowl of meatballs in a flattering manner.
Qi in front of him took it indifferently, and looked him up and down with a critical look he had never had before.
Xu felt itchy all over when he looked at her. She really didn't know what was wrong with him. She hid next to Yu Sui with the meatball in her hand and helped him deal with the pheasant.
Even so, he always felt like someone was watching him from behind, and he felt a chill on the back of his head.
Yu Sui asked Xu to separate the different parts of the pheasant like he did. Seeing that his movements were more skillful than his own, he went to cook the trotter's feet with peace of mind.
Before these animal hooves were chopped into pieces, Yu Sui used a torch to burn off all the fine hairs. Now they can be cooked directly after washing.
He knew that some snow wolves couldn't eat spicy food, so he cooked three flavors: sauce-flavored, spicy, and braised.
These animal hooves are harder than yesterday's rabbit claws. It is best to simmer them slowly in a clay pot. By the evening, the skin will be crispy and the meat will be tender.
After a busy period, the dwarves gradually dispersed, leaving only Barlow and Uncle Robert.
Speaking of Barlow, since all male dwarves have thick beards with only the length being different, it is really hard to tell their age. Yu Suiyi initially called Barlow "uncle", but later found out that he was not much older than himself.
Oh my god, what a misunderstanding.
The dwarves who came to receive the wine were afraid that Yu Sui would feel embarrassed to accept their gifts, so they gave the gifts to Baro for safekeeping.
At this time, he had accumulated a lot of cloth bags behind him. Yu Sui was not interested in the ore, but his food was almost gone, and he was quite happy to see the food brought to him by the dwarf.
The dwarves are practical and wealthy, and the comfortable houses they live in now are mostly due to Yu Sui's idea.
They had wanted to express their gratitude for a long time, and after discovering that Yu Sui was not like other snow wolves who only liked to eat meat and was also keen on food, they took the opportunity to give him a lot of food.
They may not have much human currency, but the dwarves' craftsmanship is the best commodity. Even the farm tools used by the tauren are mostly made by them. It can be imagined that they are indeed not short of food.
Even the powerful Snow Werewolf tribe would only dare to exchange a small amount of wine with human caravans to taste it in years when food was abundant.
They would exchange hundreds or even thousands of jars of wine at a time, and even human caravans could make a lot of money if they did business with them seriously.
Yu Sui opened the cloth bag and found that it contained mostly wheat, with a small amount of rice and glutinous rice.
Soybeans also account for a large part of this. Their beans were exchanged with the Minotaur, and each one is round and plump.
Unlike the wild beans collected by the snow wolves, in addition to soybeans, there are also some black beans mixed in, and the quality is not as good as that of the dwarves.
When the Snow Werewolves exchange food with the Tauren tribe, they will not specifically exchange beans, after all, they can collect them themselves.
As for sorghum, according to Uncle Robert, they must have thought it was unpalatable, so they never exchanged it.
Yu Sui thought about how when the dwarves were taking the wine just now, Barlow said with great excitement that this liquor was brewed from sorghum. He almost laughed out loud at the dwarves' shocked expressions.
Just when he was worried about not having enough food and wondering if he could hold on until he could go to the Tauren to exchange it, the thoughtful dwarves sent him some.
Yu Sui couldn't change his eating habits of many years in a short time. Even if he had grains occasionally, it was better than eating only meat and vegetables.
I remember that he was quite fat in college, so he learned to lose weight from others. When he was extremely hungry, what he craved most was not meat, but steamed buns and rice. People who have never lost weight will not understand the strong desire for carbohydrates.
But things got better later. After he started working, not only did he not have to lose weight, he couldn't even gain weight.
Food can increase the feeling of fullness. If the snow wolves can use food as their staple food, they can save a lot compared to monster meat. After all, the feeling of fullness brought by food is incomparable to meat.
The wheat brought by the dwarves still had a little bran left, which Yu Sui refined and then ground into flour.
Modern high-gluten flour has been peeled at least three times. The flour eaten by humans in other worlds is similar to low-gluten flour, but with more impurities.
It just so happened that the remaining flour at home had been used up, so he scooped out some freshly ground flour and added water to make a batter, and also added a little refined salt to increase the chewiness of the batter.
Xu cut the pheasants into pieces. Yu Sui took out an empty basin, picked out some chicken pieces and put them into the basin, then mixed them evenly with pepper, chili powder, salt, green onion, ginger and garlic, and marinated them.
He didn't cut the onion, ginger and garlic too finely so that they would be easier to pick out when frying. If they were not picked out, they would easily get burnt and the fried chicken would become bitter.
For some reason, today he particularly missed the fried food he had eaten in the past. He used to regard it as junk food, but now he couldn't eat it even if he wanted to. He didn't know how it would taste if he made it himself.
Today Qi also brought the meat of the Thunder Fire Beast. He had eaten the meat of this monster when he first came here, and it tasted very delicious.
He walked over and cut off a large piece, divided it into small strips and marinated them in the basin as well.
Today was a beautiful day, a crisp autumn day. In Yu Sui's yard, a large iron pot of distilled liquor sat in the center, with animal hooves boiling in several clay pots nearby. The aroma of meat and liquor blended together to create a unique fragrance.
There are many people invited to the warm home dinner, and many ingredients need to be prepared.
Yu Sui ate some meatballs to fill his stomach quickly and then continued to get busy.
He thought that a few of his friends had returned from hunting and had not yet eaten, so he wanted to urge them to go to the cafeteria so that they wouldn't have to stay here with him hungry. In fact, he didn't need much help.
"It's okay, we can grill our own meat, and the aroma from your place can go well with our meal." Xu answered with a hearty smile.
Vanilla and Notting had already skillfully built a fire, skewered the meat on it and started roasting it.
Seeing that they were determined, Yu Sui did not insist. At least he didn't want them to starve because of him.
The full little cubs were having fun running around, and soon they and Xiaochu brought back a lot of fish and shrimp for him. It turned out that when they were out playing, they met a team returning from fishing, so they asked them to bring them to Yu Sui.
The shrimp threads of the fresh prawns were removed. The oil used to fry the tofu balls was still warm, so Yu Sui turned up the heat, cut open the backs and heads of the prawns, and put them into the pan to fry.
In fact, the heads of fresh prawns are also delicious after frying, but unfortunately the pot on his stove could not hold the whole prawn, so he removed the heads.
However, the shrimp heads are not wasted. Add a little oil to another iron pan, heat it up, put the shrimp heads in and stir-fry until the oil color becomes bright. Add boiling water, tofu cubes and wild vegetables and cook for a while. You will have a pot of delicious shrimp oil and tofu soup.
This big pot of soup is just right for a few snow wolves to eat with barbecue. The delicious tofu soup also has the special aroma of shrimp oil. Drinking a bowl of it hot into your stomach is very comfortable.
Uncle Robert and Barlow also got a bowl, and their sweet mustaches stood up.
Even though the greedy little cubs couldn't fit much in their stomachs, they gathered together to drink from the ceramic bowl, and finally lay in a row with their little bellies bulging out, basking in the sun, like plush toys sold in supermarkets.
Clean the fresh fish, cut it into pieces, fry it in a pan, and put it in a bowl for later use.
Considering the Snow Wolves’ appetite, barbecue would definitely be their main meal at night.
Yu Sui planned to make some barbecue with a sauce-flavor, so he first needed to make the barbecue sauce.
Put a little more oil in the iron pan, otherwise the sauce will easily get stuck to the bottom.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and chili powder, which will instantly release the garlic aroma. Stir-fry the minced garlic until golden brown. Add the sweet bean paste and soybean paste, stir-fry evenly, and then add a small amount of water.
Stir while cooking, and pour into a bowl when it becomes thick.
The pot on the stove is good in every way, the only drawback is that it is inconvenient to clean, as it is fixed to the stove with yellow mud.
He remembered that his grandmother used to use a tool made of loofah to sweep out the water from washing pots. He certainly couldn't find a loofah here, so after washing the pot, he would use a bowl to scoop out the dirty water and wipe the rest with a cloth.
He also fried some garlic and used it to make garlic shrimp.
It is best to wash the minced garlic with water before frying it, otherwise the fried garlic will easily become bitter.
He was busy here, and the people grilling over there had different expressions.
Qi was unusually silent today. Xu looked at his expression, walked into the house with a piece of roasted thunder and fire beast meat, and fed it to Yu Sui's mouth.
"Xiao Yu, you really don't have..." he asked secretly in a low voice.
Yu Sui glanced at him helplessly and shook his head, "Really not. Brother Qi only treats me as a younger brother. My mother and Aunt Lu are good friends, and their family takes good care of me."
Xu's eyes were suddenly filled with pity. He didn't like Yu Sui in the past, but he took extra care of him because of his extremely pitiful life experience. He was also very disgusted with his persistent behavior.
Now that Yu Sui has become so well-behaved and sensible, he feels that he is indeed very pitiful, and it seems understandable that he chased after Qi in the past.
Think about it, a little cub has to live with another smaller cub, and it is normal for him to rely on the people around him who are good to him.
However, even the Snow Wolf Man knew that feelings could not be forced. He just felt that Qi did not know how to cherish Xiao Yu. Xiao Yu had such good skills. If she could become his partner, they would live a happy life.
Just as he was about to sigh, Xu suddenly felt a thorn in his side.
He turned his head suspiciously and saw Qi looking at him with a cold face.
Is Qi still angry that he misunderstood his relationship with Yu Sui? It's not just his fault, so why is he so particular about him today?
Xu was a little confused and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
He and Qi are best friends. Qi is not talkative, and he understands Qi's thoughts better than Qi's parents, but recently he has become increasingly unpredictable.
His father often said that female werewolves would become moody when they reached a certain age. He didn't expect that the same would happen with male werewolves. But isn't this a bit early at this age?
