Chapter 42
The animal trotters that had been stewed for an entire afternoon were now cooked to a pulp. Yu Sui placed the three flavors separately and asked the cubs to serve them while he went to the cellar to get some fruit wine.
The taste of white wine is not as strong as that of fruit wine. In case someone doesn’t like it, you can use fruit wine instead.
Friends who worked in the cafeteria had to wait until the tribesmen finished dinner before they could come over, so Yu Sui left some food for them to eat when they came over.
Seeing that he had finally finished his work, Xu warmly invited him to sit over.
Chief Bombur, Uncle Heiyan and others sat together, while Xu, Qi, Xiangcao, Notting and the cubs sat at another table.
The fried chicken and crispy pork were still warm. Yu Sui loved these fried foods the most. He sprinkled some chili powder on them and put them into his mouth happily.
Afraid that Qi would feel embarrassed, he deliberately moved around and sat between Xiangcao and Xu. Even so, the other party's face was not very good.
Yu Sui prepared white wine and berry wine for everyone. There was not enough glutinous rice, and he had not been so extravagant as to use it to make glutinous rice wine recently, so there were only two kinds.
The evening in late autumn was already chilly, but everyone in Yu Sui's yard was eating enthusiastically, and Uncle Robert and several dwarfs even took off their coats.
Perhaps it was the heat from the grilled fish or the alcohol, but everyone in the firelight had a blush on their faces.
Yu Sui was eating blood tofu cooked in the grilled fish, feeling a little regretful that he didn't cook rice. Today, most of the dishes were side dishes, and he would be more satisfied if he had a bowl of fragrant rice.
While Nordin was grilling, he took the time to sit down and eat with them.
They all remembered the first time they were knocked out by Yu Sui's berry wine. They tacitly ate first and only dared to drink after they were half full.
Today, the white wine that is so fragrant that it can be smelled ten miles away is definitely the first choice. They have been patient for most of the day.
The hot yet sweet sorghum wine tasted like a tornado mixed with sparks that swept violently into the stomach. Even with the cool breeze, sweat still broke out on everyone's forehead.
As the chief of the tribe, Heiyan also saw another use for this white wine. In the cold winter of this continent, even the snow werewolves would not easily go out to take risks. Not only would it be easy to get lost in the wind and snow, but it would also be easy to get hypothermia.
If soldiers go out hunting in winter, the energy required by their bodies is several times more than usual. Unless they hunt large prey, the effort will outweigh the gains.
However, once this liquor entered his stomach, he felt warm all over. He couldn't help but imagine that if each soldier carried a bamboo tube of this liquor in winter, when they felt cold, they could drink a few sips to drive away the coldness in their bodies and bring them energy.
In this way, even if there is a shortage of food in winter, they don't have to be afraid to go out hunting, and their fighting power will no longer be greatly weakened by winter as in previous years.
If we think about it in the long term, there are many orc races that are not as strong or as big as the snow werewolves. If they were allowed to have this kind of wine, it would definitely greatly increase their survival rate.
You should know that every winter many small orc tribes are destroyed. The cold winter here is extremely difficult even for powerful ones like the Snow Werewolves.
This is really good stuff. Heiyan raised his glass and clinked glasses with Chief Bangber happily.
Yu Sui had sent them a lot of berry wine, and he and Lu had gotten drunk a few times. So he was cautious about this white wine and tasted it in small sips, not daring to drink it in big gulps.
Feng saw that his partner was acting out of character and didn't retort the moment he saw Lu, so he put his heart at ease, happily took a big gulp of wine, and sighed heartily.
Ah Qing glanced at him sideways, snorted coldly, and took a sip of wine himself.
"This wine is good. Although his strength is weak, his brain is quite smart." She said pickily.
Lu found everything she said unpleasant, and when he heard her words, he instantly became angry.
"Xu Yu was injured while still in the womb, otherwise he would have been much more seriously injured than Xu. Besides, his mother wasn't injured for the sake of the tribe!"
Feng hadn't even taken his second sip when the thing he'd been worried about happened. He accidentally choked on the wine, coughing and gesturing between the two of them, trying to stop them.
"Isn't it true that he is weak? Doesn't your Qi think so too? Otherwise, why did he leave the sick cub at home alone?"
Ah Qing said in a mocking tone.
Her hair stood on end in anger. Lu slammed the wine glass down on the wooden board and said angrily, "That's for another reason! Our Qi doesn't look down on the weak! Besides, Qi is treating Xiaoyu very well now. They will be partners in the future!"
Yu Sui, who dared not speak, was silently stabbed in the back, and when he heard the end, he burst into a loud cough.
Heiyan didn't bother to communicate with the Bangbo tribe leader opposite him. He raised his chopsticks to pick up some food for Lu, trying to shut his partner's mouth.
Green didn't even glance at him, and reached out to shoo him away from her face like a fly.
Glancing at the younger generations behind him, Ah Qing sneered disdainfully again.
"Your Qi can do whatever he wants. I think Xiao Yusui and Xu's relationship is much stronger than Qi's. They would be a good couple, and Xu is no worse than Qi."
Why did the war spread to them? They were obviously as quiet as a chicken.
Well, now Yu Sui not only feels embarrassed to face Qi, but even feels weird talking to him.
With a helpless sigh, Xu leaned over to Yu Sui's ear and whispered to comfort him: "My mother and Aunt Lu are like this every time they quarrel. You don't have to take it to heart. They just said it casually when they were angry."
Yu Sui looked at him with a bitter face and nodded. He understood the reason, but he was in a very complicated mood.
Heiyan and Feng comforted their partners respectively. It was just a small quarrel, which was much stronger than their previous conflicts. For the sake of Yu Suinuan's family dinner, both of them shut up in indignation.
In order to prevent the two from arguing again, the people around them quickly changed the subject.
Stroking his beloved beard, Chief Bombur took a bite of fish and drank wine, saying contentedly, "If humans had this wine, I wouldn't even need gold coins to forge a sacred vessel for them."
According to his experience in playing games, the grade of the holy weapon must be quite high. This is too high an evaluation of his wine. These drunkards really love wine from the bottom of their hearts.
Speaking of weapons, Yu Sui asked Uncle Robert at another table, "Uncle, I want a kitchen knife," and he gestured the length.
Uncle Robert was already drunk, and he promised boldly, "No problem!"
I don’t know if he will remember it when he wakes up tomorrow... Yu Sui thought doubtfully, it was his fault that he drank half a cup at noon. The cups in his house are big and the alcohol content of the liquor is high.
During their conversation with Chief Bangbo, Heiyan learned that the wine was brewed from sorghum, so he mentally added sorghum to the grains that needed to be traded.
In the past, they thought all food was the same and tasted bad, and they couldn’t tell the different types apart. Anyway, they just traded some for emergency purposes and didn’t care what the type was.
Now, under the influence of the years, they have gradually distinguished between wheat and rice, and now there is sorghum.
I used to think it was strange that Tauren liked to eat hay seeds, but later I discovered that these things could be used to make so many delicious foods. Herbivorous orcs are not so useless after all.
Vanilla didn't like the irritating feeling of white wine on her throat. She drank a little and then put it down in disgust. Berry wine was more to her taste.
The barbecued meat with barbecue sauce had a completely different flavor. Notting distributed several large skewers of rabbit chops to each table, and he took a large piece and chewed it until his mouth was full of oil.
Ever since Xiao Yu became smart, their cooking skills have improved a lot. He can hardly remember how he used to eat the burnt meat.
"This barbecue sauce is so delicious. It would be great if the cafeteria could also make barbecue like this."
Notting didn't care about the grease in his mouth, his eyes were full of desire.
Yu Sui thought that the sauce he made only filled two clay pots. Although the clay pots they used were like water tanks, they were not enough for these big-bellied people to eat for several meals.
"Next year, when we plant more soybeans and wheat, we'll be able to make a lot of this sauce. The soy sauce used for the braised pig's trotters is also made from fermented beans."
If there were plenty of soybeans, the canteen could also use soy sauce and paste, which are seasonings that can greatly enhance the taste of food.
Under the baptism of Yu Sui's gourmet food, these snow wolves have changed from their initial discomfort with farming to looking forward to it. Every time he makes delicious food with various grains, they wish it was spring now.
There are so many delicious foods today. The sticky animal trotters of different flavors, the spicy grilled fish with blood tofu inside are all highly praised. The fried chicken and crispy pork are also crispy and delicious. A group of little guys hold them and chew on them, with their faces covered with crumbs.
The aroma of minced garlic is dark and irresistible to the snow werewolf with a keen sense of smell. He can't stand the taste in his mouth after eating it, but he can't refuse its taste. The sweet and fresh prawns paired with minced garlic are simply a perfect match.
The roasted rabbit chops amazed them again. The orcs ate barbecue every day, but they never thought it could taste like this.
The spice powder that Yu Sui provided to the cafeteria before already made the barbecue delicious when sprinkled on it, and the barbecue sauce now has a completely different flavor.
With the delicious food and good wine, everyone's faces soon became rosy.
Xiaochu got drunk several times and refused to touch any kind of alcohol. The other cubs were not so honest. They always wanted to taste the adults' alcohol while drinking their own juice.
Xiaohua was the bravest one. She sneaked to the wine vat with the other cubs and scooped out a bowl of berry wine.
What they are most interested in is the fruit wine, as the white wine doesn’t smell as sweet as this one.
Even after being warned by Xiaochu, the naughty kids still couldn't help but share a bowl of berry wine. After stumbling and playing around for a while, they huddled together and fell asleep.
Yu Sui finally tasted the liquor he brewed himself. The sorghum liquor seemed to taste sweeter and more palatable than other liquors. It was indeed different from the bottled liquor he had drunk before.
The other people were already drunk. Yu Sui turned around and saw that the one with the worst alcohol tolerance was Uncle Heiyan. He lay on the ground with a flushed face and cheered loudly.
He was dizzy and wanted to laugh at Uncle Heiyan. He wanted to stand up but felt dizzy and almost fell down. Xu, who was standing beside him, was quick to pull him into his arms.
"Look, I said my son and Yu Sui are a better match."
Seeing this scene, Ah Qing proudly showed off with his tongue sticking out.
Yu Sui was not good at drinking to begin with, and after he almost fell down, he felt like there were little stars in front of his eyes.
His body suddenly flew into the air, making him dizzy and not knowing what was happening.
After squinting his eyes and trying to regain focus, Yu Sui finally saw that he was already sitting in his seat. However, he remembered that the person he was sitting next to just now was Xiangcao, but how come it was Qi instead, and his expression was very ugly.
Now it was Lu Deyi's turn to be proud. She was holding the cup swayingly and was about to sneer back when the drunkenness came over her and she fell to the ground, leaning against Heiyan and falling asleep.
The power of white wine is indeed great. I was drunk in a short while.
"I don't want to be cannon fodder. Why is there a plot chasing after a tool..."
Yu Sui didn't like seeing Qi's ugly expression, and murmured in grievance.
Feeling sleepy, he subconsciously leaned against Xu and lay down.
Seeing this, Xu raised his hand with amusement, wanting to adjust his sleeping position to a more comfortable one.
His hand was stopped mid-air. Due to his drunkenness, his reaction was slow and he looked up in confusion.
There was a coldness in Qi's dark eyes that had never been seen before.
Yes, that was the look. When his mother and Aunt Lu were arguing just now, Qi looked at him like that. However, he had just thought Qi was looking at Xiao Yu from him, and he had even straightened up to block it...
Wasn't he angry about Aunt Lu saying that he and Xiao Yu would be partners from now on? After all, he had been misunderstood before, and he had also been very angry.
Xu found that he was becoming less and less able to understand Qi's thoughts.
Qi picked up the sleeping Yu Sui, walked into the house and put him on the kang.
Looking at the sleeping person with a complicated expression, Qi didn't know why he was so irritable today.
It seemed that only by getting closer to this person, closer, could he regain his composure.
The snow-white fur surrounded Yu Sui. He rubbed against it comfortably, then turned around and curled up.
Qi's eyes softened, and he simply lay down beside Yu Sui. He felt the heavy emotions that weighed on him vanish, his tense nerves relaxed, and he could no longer hold back and fell into a deep sleep.
When Ashan, Kalan and others finished their work and came to Yu Sui's house, they saw snow wolves and dwarves lying all over the yard, and Baro's talking in his sleep mixed with their snoring.
The only one awake was Xiaochu. He was busy moving his friends to the kang, especially Hank, because he would definitely catch a cold if he slept in the yard in this season.
Ellie looked at Xiaochu with relief, and kicked Rob hard when she passed by.
"Brother has left some vegetables in the pot for you, as well as this newly brewed wine." Xiaochu did not forget Yu Sui's instructions, and pointed to the wine jar and said to them.
In order to get a free meal after a long absence, Ashan resisted the urge to eat in the cafeteria. He didn't mind and just sat down on the wooden board to eat.
However, much of the food had gone cold, so Karan heated it up on the fire and brought out the dishes that Yu Sui had left for them.
The delicious meal did not disappoint them, and it was worth it for Ashan to come here hungry. The newly brewed wine had a unique taste, and one sip warmed the body.
The warm family dinner was divided into two waves, which was something Yu Sui, who fell asleep, did not expect.
The wine he left for the cafeteria successfully made many people fall asleep. When Ashan and the others came out, there were still many snow wolves sleeping in the cafeteria.
It’s a pity that Yu Sui didn’t see this long-awaited scene.
Fortunately, the dwarf came here early today to exchange for wine. He had already experienced the power of this wine and was careful not to get drunk in the cafeteria during dinner.
