The Beast World's Beloved: After I Transmigrated into a Book, I Became a Heartthrob
Chapter 97 Making Cold Skewers
Xun Yu took the initiative to change the subject, and Su Yu did not ask too many questions. He nodded and said, "You can try a little first."
The market won’t be open for long, there are only a few days left, so the sooner you make it, the sooner you can start selling it.
Xun Yu also knew that the Winged Tiger Tribe's market would not be open for too long, so he asked Su Yu how big the meat should be cut, what vegetables to add, and how to make the soup.
Su Yu was afraid that they would cut the meat into too big a piece, and the soup would not be able to absorb the flavor. After drinking all the water in the cup, he came to Shi Wei who had brought out a piece of meat, and compared the size of the meat: "Just cut it into the size of my palm."
"Don't make it too thick, but thinner, otherwise the soup won't be able to soak in the flavor."
As he spoke, Su Yu compared the thickness of the meat slices again.
"Yu Yu, what are the requirements for the wood for skewering meat?" Sheng Qing was also not idle, and stood up to ask.
"Don't make it too thick. One end needs to be sharpened." Su Yu thought about it and measured the distance with him using her fingers.
In fact, it would be better to use bamboo or iron skewers for the skewers, but she observed that there were no bamboo forests around the Winged Tiger Tribe, so Sheng Qing had to use wood instead.
Xunyu washed the meat and various vegetables and eggs, Shengqing went to find suitable wood, and Shiwei was responsible for cutting the meat and vegetables into the right size.
Huai Xu, who had been invisible and silent, looked at them and felt a little uneasy as he saw that they all had their own things to do.
He came to Su Yu and asked faintly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Su Yu turned around and saw him, with a smile on her face: "Of course! But I don't need your help right now. I'll call you over after the skewers are cooked."
Huai Xu's innate ability is ice, and Leng Chuan Chuan will be of great help later.
Wait, ice?!
Su Yu’s mind instantly flashed back to the various kinds of iced milk tea drinks he had seen in supermarkets and milk tea shops in his previous life.
She couldn't help but stare at Huai Xu with shining eyes, recalling the shaved ice she had eaten when she was craving for it in the summer. It was cool and refreshing, and the perfect way to relieve the summer heat!
Huai Xu clearly felt the change in Su Yu's aura. Seeing her eyes suddenly light up and stare at him closely, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
Is she... attracted to him?
But he was not yet an adult. If she wanted him to do something, he...
To obey or not to obey?
Su Yu had no idea that her appearance had made Huai Xu think of something wrong. When she thought of the various cold drinks, she couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
She was just about to ask Huai Xu excitedly if he could make some ice cubes so she could try making shaved ice, but then she suddenly remembered -
She has no sugar yet.
The source of sugar intake for females in the animal world comes from fruits in the wild.
They don't know how to make real candy.
Su Yu had seen the production methods of brown sugar and white sugar, but she - did not have the raw materials.
She had not yet discovered beets and sugar cane in this world.
Sugar cannot be produced yet.
When Su Yu thought about it, he instantly became as depressed as a deflated ball, and his shining eyes gradually dimmed.
Huai Xu had no idea what she was thinking. Looking at her like this, his heart sank.
What's that expression on her face? Is she dissatisfied with him?
Huai Xu opened his mouth and wanted to ask, but then he remembered that he was not qualified to ask now. He could only put on a gloomy face and go back to continue processing the animal skins in silence.
When Su Yu came back to his senses from his confused thoughts, he saw Huai Xu's expressionless face and gloomy eyes.
She scratched her head, looking confused.
Who provoked him again?
-
The three beastmen were all very good at hands-on work. Halfway through, Su Yu saw that the stone table was piled with meat, and remembered that if he wanted to sell cold skewers, he would have to make a few large wooden basins.
The wooden basin was not easy to carry, so Su Yu asked Xun Yu to help make a few wooden barrels and put the skewers of meat and vegetables into them.
Su Yu even skewered several pieces with great interest.
As a result, Shi Wei picked out those skewers and put them aside, saying that these skewers would be left for them to taste later. The orcs outside were not qualified to eat food made by the females themselves.
This made Su Yu very embarrassed.
Because I had just eaten, I didn’t order many cold skewers this time, just one bucket.
For meat skewers that are difficult to flavor, use the leftover seasoning from making beggar’s chicken today to marinate them for a while.
After the ingredients were prepared, Su Yu began to make a simple soup.
In theory, the authentic cold skewer base recipe requires vegetable oil, green onions, ginger slices, garlic cloves, dried safflower, dried chili peppers, rock sugar, various spices, fermented black beans, rice wine, etc.
However, Su Yu did not have these yet, so he could only make a simple version of the base sauce, mixing it with various seasonings brought from the Lao Shui tribe, and adding the bone soup that Shi Wei temporarily prepared, to make a Beast World version of a simple cold skewer soup.
Then, Su Yu used the bone soup made by Shi Wei to blanch the prepared dishes.
When it was taken out of the pot, it was placed in a wooden barrel filled with soup ingredients. Huai Xu was called to help add several ice cubes into it to quickly cool down the still hot skewers.
The aroma of the cold skewers was not as overbearing as that of the beggar's chicken when it was just out of the pot, but it also had its own special aroma. Su Yu, who was already full, couldn't help it, picked up a string of ground egg slices and opened his mouth to take a bite.
The moment she took a bite, Shi Wei snatched the egg slice from her hand, leaving her with nothing to bite.
Su Yu looked confused: "?"
Shi Wei held the egg slices calmly and said, "It's too cold. If you want to eat it, I'll heat it up for you."
If cold skewers are not eaten cold, what are they called cold skewers?
Su Yu: “…”
Su Yu's health improved a lot after she got pregnant. She had forgotten how fragile her body was, but...
She looked at Shi Wei eagerly: "I'll just take a bite."
Shengqing looked at her greedy look, couldn't bear it and shifted his gaze, walked aside and pretended to be busy.
He was afraid that Su Yu would come to him and act coquettishly, and he would not be able to resist giving her food.
Xun Yu couldn't stand Su Yu's pitiful and greedy look, so he said, "Give Yu Yu a bite, nothing will happen."
Shi Wei raised his eyes and glanced at him: "She has a stomachache, she is the one suffering, not you."
"Okay, I won't eat anymore..." Su Yu also knew this. She also knew that Shi Wei was doing this for her own good. She swallowed and looked at the bucket of tempting cold skewers reluctantly.
This eager look made the males present feel soft in their hearts, and Shi Wei was a little overwhelmed, but for Su Yu's health, he had to persevere.
Huai Xu didn't say anything. He picked out a new egg slice, slightly dispelled the coolness on it, kept it a little cool but not too cold, and handed it to Su Yu: "Eat it."
Su Yu looked at him in surprise: "You..."
Shi Wei raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Huai Xu still had no expression on his face. He handed the cold skewers in his hand towards her: "I controlled the temperature. It's not very cold. It won't freeze your stomach."
Su Yu was instantly happy, she let out a small cry, restrained her urge to hug Huai Xu, and said with a bright smile: "Thank you Huai Xu, I'm very happy!"
She carefully took the egg slice from Huai Xu's hand and took a bite. The slightly cool and crispy taste, salty, spicy and delicious burst in her mouth, making her squint her eyes in satisfaction: "Delicious! Come and try it!"
Seeing that she was enjoying the meal, Shi Wei didn't try to stop her and took a bite of the egg slice he took from her hand.
It tastes really good.
Bing Bing cool.
It's perfect for eating in hot weather.
Shengqing and Xunyu tasted it in turn, and they all thought that this could be sold at the market to try.
The three beastmen and a sub-adult male took advantage of the hot sensation and continued to skewer the meat.
Su Yu tried to keep them company at first, but later he became sleepy and fell asleep on the stone table without realizing it.
The next day, before Su Yu woke up, he felt a little cold on his legs.
