Chapter 86
Xu jumped to shake off the water, ran to the pile of combs, picked up one and combed his hair. Now he has fully mastered the technique of combing hair. He holds the comb with his front paws and flexibly combs the hair on his body smooth.
"Xiao Yu Sui, let's eat this prawn later. It looks big enough for us."
He patted the lobster that was still flapping its wings proudly and said to Sui.
There was plenty of food in this place. The only drawback was that it was too far from their tribe. He and Qi did not swim too far, but there were plenty of fish, shrimps and shellfish in the nearby sea.
The temperature at the seaside makes food spoil easily, so he didn't catch prey that was too big, only prey that was just big enough to satisfy their appetite.
He also saw a crab in the sea that was bigger than the shrimp, and Xu had already decided to catch a big crab for dinner.
I don’t know what Xu was thinking, but Yu Sui could feel that he was in a very happy mood. After all, his big tail began to sweep back and forth comfortably on the beach.
Yu Sui smiled cunningly at the two of them. He didn't expect that oysters were so powerful. He didn't dare let them eat the spicy fried oyster meat last night, but he didn't expect that they would still be affected.
However, we can also see from the side that the seafood here is both delicious and powerful. It turns out that pure natural and pollution-free food is really good.
Thinking of the taste of oysters, Yu Sui couldn't help licking his lips. He bent down and took two from a reef, which was just enough for him to eat.
As the sun slowly rose, the temperature at the beach rose a little more. There was a fire burning around the tent, making it even warmer inside.
But Mimi still showed no signs of waking up. Yu Sui guessed that she was too hungry yesterday, so she woke up to look for food when the temperature rose, and fell asleep again after her body stored enough energy.
The snake tribe's way of survival is also eye-opening. Hibernation saves a lot of food compared to other orcs.
Mimi fell into hibernation, so Yu Sui was no longer worried that their salt-making process would be discovered. Although Mimi was just a little cub, salt-making was a serious matter, and it would be best if only people in her own tribe knew about it.
When they came out of the Red Grass Tribe, they brought a lot of vegetables with them. They basically brought all the vegetables that the Tauren had given them. After all, except Yu Sui, the other Snow Werewolves didn't know how to cook.
It doesn't taste good if you eat it raw, but those Minotaur people have learned how to fry peanuts and peanut cheese, but frying shredded potatoes is a bit difficult for them.
Yu Sui thought that by the time they went to the Red Grass Tribe again, most of the Tauren would have liked fried peanuts and peanut cheese. Maybe they would plant more peanuts next year.
This can be considered as his contribution to the orcs' food culture, Yu Sui thought with a bit of complacency.
Yu Sui did not take the flour left by the Minotaur. He kept it as backup food for Uncle Heiyan and his men, so that they would have something to eat in case they couldn't catch any prey.
In the past, when Uncle Black Rock brought his people to trade, they would stay for three or four days at most and then leave. During this period, the Red Grass Tribe would provide food for the guests. This time, they will need to stay for at least half a month, and the Tauren will probably not prepare food for them.
Uncle Heiyan stayed in the Red Grass Tribe to provide cover for Yu Sui and his companions. When they finally returned to the tribe together, the salt and other things they cooked could be said to have been traded with other orcs in the Red Grass Tribe.
If Heiyan also went back with Bangbo, leaving only Yu Sui and a few others outside, it would inevitably cause speculation among some tribesmen.
It would be best if as few people knew about this as possible. Orcs and dwarves are both outspoken and speak their minds. If someone with ulterior motives were to trick them into revealing something, it would be detrimental to the tribe.
Yu Sui took out the remaining corn from the package, rubbed off the corn kernels, spread them on the reef with the best sunlight, and let them dry slowly.
The emerald green corn kernels look like fine jade beads, and each one is just the right size to be pierced with a hole to make a necklace pendant. Unfortunately, although they look beautiful, there always seems to be something weird about using corn kernels as jewelry.
In the past, there were small bunches of multicolored corn that were coiled into pendants, but I've never heard of anyone wearing one...
Corn kernels can be ground into cornmeal after being dried. Yu Sui just suddenly thought of this. Cornmeal can be used to make many foods and is also an indispensable memory of his childhood.
The corn given by the Minotaur tasted like a combination of glutinous corn and fruit corn. Yu Sui guessed that it could also be used to make cornmeal.
These corns were taken out of the cellar and carried all the way by them. They were a little dry to begin with, so it was just right to dry them and eat them.
When I was a child, every autumn every household in the village would dry a yard full of corn kernels. Since humans have little strength, they would use a hand-cranked thresher to thresh the corn, which was also very interesting.
Some unknowing people would lay them on the road, and some would use them to dry wheat. Every year, many cyclists would slip and fall, and Yu was often accidentally injured when he was a child.
He stared at the corn kernels on the reef, a nostalgic smile on his lips.
Orcs don't have the habit of eating breakfast, and Yu Sui sometimes forgets breakfast.
After boiling salt non-stop for a whole day and night, several barrels of coarse salt had been prepared. Yu Sui brought the activated carbon he made, which was just right for extracting fine salt.
After preparing the wood ash and activated carbon bags, Yu Sui started working according to the same process as last time. It took him a long time to refine one bamboo tube of fine salt from two large bamboo tubes of coarse salt.
There was indeed a lot of loss, but there was no shortage of coarse salt near the seaside, and the activated carbon bags could be dried and reused.
Xu had been squatting by the side and watching curiously for a long time. He looked at the fine salt in the bamboo tube in amazement, and bent down in disbelief to sniff it.
After confirming that the salt inside was fine salt, Xu couldn't help but say, "Xiao Yu Sui, if you were a human, you would definitely be a very powerful alchemist."
Yu Sui was so frightened by the word "human" that his body froze, and he didn't feel relieved until he heard what Nao said.
"That means I have talent. Maybe I can become the first orc alchemist."
Qi also came over at some point. Yu Sui's figure was reflected in his eyes. He said with a smile, "Then we are all witnesses, Great Alchemist Yu Sui."
Being teased by Qi Yi, Yu Sui felt a tingling sensation on his back for some reason. He suppressed his awkwardness and said, "You guys are disturbing my work by hanging around here. Uh, go help me open the pearls."
Xu hadn't seen enough, and was reluctant to leave, looking back every few steps, and was dragged by Qi to Scallop Mountain.
"Xiao Yu Sui is really becoming more and more unreasonable. I'm just standing aside and watching to see what the impact is."
Xu Nian was muttering to herself in frustration, then turned to look at Qi. This guy actually raised the corners of his mouth and smiled very lewdly?
Xu really didn't know how to describe this expression. He looked at Qi with a deep frown and moved a little further away from him in disgust. He always felt that it would be more uncomfortable if he stayed any longer.
After refining all the coarse salt into fine salt, Yu Sui clapped his hands and picked up his kitchen knife to deal with the big lobster.
