Chapter 518 [Land of Time Marrow] Beast 12

Facing Feng Lan's question, Bi Ke's face almost wrinkled. He tried hard to think about the place where he played last night. Finally, he said weakly, "Hmm... It seems that there are not many people. It's so dark at night. I can't see clearly..."

"Let's go there later." Feng Lan touched Bi Ke's head, not disappointed. "It's good news to find a salt lake."

Feng Lan has been very busy these days.

She and Qi tried the plants they picked the next day. The rhizome they found that day was a hemp fruit. After frying, it looked like peanuts, but when crushed, it could indeed be used as Sichuan peppercorns for cooking, and the oil squeezed out was more like peanut oil.

The hard-shelled fruit that people usually use as food is wheat fruit. The flesh inside is between rice and flour. The maturity of the flesh determines whether it will form flour or rice after baking. The most important thing is that it is high in energy.

Some ordinary non-toxic vegetable leaves are not bitter after blanching, but they are not tasty when stir-fried. There is no way to make them, so Feng Lan simply taught the snake people how to pickle sauerkraut.

This is simpler than cooking. Pickled sauerkraut is versatile. You can eat it directly after taking it out. It is delicious when stir-fried with meat, vegetables, noodles, or soup. And you don’t have to take care of it after putting it in the jar. Just leave it there and wait.

After opening the jar, she smelled the sour smell. She didn't know if it was because the sauerkraut, water and salt here were of good quality, but the sauerkraut in this jar tasted particularly good. Just smelling it made Feng Lan's mouth water, and the sour fragrance filled the air. She thought this sauerkraut was very suitable for making sauerkraut pork stewed with vermicelli.

We can go hunting for pork later and pick an animal with tender meat. As for vermicelli, Feng Lan thought about it and decided to use wheat berries. If you want a floury texture, you have to choose wheat berries that are a little green so that the flesh inside is not riced. She patted Huahua and said, "Go, find some green wheat berries nearby."

"Good~"

The plants around me rustled and moved, and the noise gradually faded away.

"Lan!" Qingqing appeared outside Feng Lan's house enthusiastically and punctually. "The clan leader is back, and he brought a lot of things with him. Do you want to go to the square and take a look? This time we're going to exchange things at a big market, so there must be good stuff there!"

She sniffed and smelled a sour smell, and immediately thought of the pickled vegetables Feng Lan had mentioned before. She immediately changed the subject, "Anyway, the food is in the square, and it won't run away. I think I should eat breakfast first!"

Feng Lan smiled and nodded, waving Qingqing to come in. The originally empty house was now filled with a lot of things.

On the table in the living room, there was still the pharmacopoeia that Chun had borrowed. The shelves were also filled with various gifts from other snake people: fruits that Feng Lan found delicious, plants with special flavors that Feng Lan requested, cute round stones, and brightly colored feathers...

"Huahua went to find Maiguo. You can eat the sauerkraut starting today, but it's best to wait two weeks... er, fifteen days before opening it and eating it."

After washing her hands, Feng Lan picked up two juicy green vegetables from the jar. Because of the salt water, they had turned from green to yellowish, which didn't look very good. She tore off a leaf and handed it to Qingqing, "When you grab the green vegetables from the jar, you must wash your hands first to prevent the stains on your hands from contaminating the acid water."

"It's delicious," Qingqing took a careful bite. The sour and crispy leaves in her mouth stimulated her mouth and she began to drool uncontrollably. "Slurp... It seems a bit sour when eaten alone. Can I try it again? I don't think I can taste the flavor."

"Where's the jar of meat we made earlier? Go get a jar."

These orcs are all big eaters. They can eat a pot the size of a human head in one meal. If they eat as much as they want, it will be like a bottomless pit. The energy level of this world is very high. No wonder these orcs are stronger than each other.

"Oh right," Qingqing told Feng Lan while carefully searching for something, "the porcelain you mentioned has been fired. It's pure white, so beautiful! The one dyed with grass juice is green, and it looks great too! It's just more fragile than pottery. If I sell it at the market, I'm sure someone will buy ten kilograms of salt!"

"What's the success rate?" Feng Lan took the jar of meat handed to him by Qingqing. When making meat oil, boil the meat until it is cooked, then put it into the jar together with the oil in the pot. After the oil solidifies, put it in a corner and it will not go bad for a year or two.

This jar of meat is very easy to prepare for snake people, and the oil boiled from it is also fragrant. It can be stir-fried with anything to make a delicious dish.

Feng Lan originally wanted to improve the roads in the tribe, and she had even prepared a simple version of cement. However, the snake people told her that the rainy season was coming soon, and the entire place, including the temple, would be submerged in water, so there was no need to pave the road.

Of course, a special enclosed totem will be set up outside the temple for protection, but people will not be allowed to stay in the temple. However, there will be snake people who can stay in the water and will transform into their original form and lurk outside the temple.

"Don't worry about clothes. We don't wear much. In winter, everyone transforms into their original form and hibernates. In summer, it's too hot to wear clothes. In autumn, there are rains, and in spring, we're busy. It's fine like this now. The hides are already very fine."

Faced with Engel's behavior of the snake people who only pursued food for their basic needs, Feng Lan chose to accept it after a moment of silence.

Fine.

After eating the hot sauerkraut and jar meat vermicelli, the vermicelli was made by Qingqing, who was strong and patient, and the noodles were very chewy. The only thing is that this dish does not have any original ingredients except the sauerkraut.

"It's so delicious! I can eat two pots of this!" Qingqing finished a large pot with a satisfied look on her face. She carried a pot of hot vermicelli with a lid on it and headed towards the temple. It was a gift for Chun. Before leaving, Qingqing didn't forget to talk to Fenglan, "I'll try this dish when I get back. I'm sure I'll learn it this time!"

"Come on, you can do it." Feng Lan said perfunctorily. After all, Qingqing always said this every time she ate a new dish. But her hands seemed to have their own magical spell, and eventually they would create a pot of poison that was both delicious and fragrant.

It can’t be said to be unpalatable, but it’s definitely not delicious either.

After finishing her meal, Feng Lan wrote down the dish of pickled cabbage noodles with meat on the animal skin. Because it was for the snake people, she had calculated the exact proportions of each ingredient, and there would definitely not be any small amount, a pinch, or an appropriate amount.

These are all lessons learned through blood and tears.

"The patriarch is back!"

"Wow, that's a lot of stuff! Do you have any salt? I need two pounds! I recently learned a simple new dish and I'm in need of salt!"

"Me too, but I want to change it to sugar. The rest of my family likes to eat that sweet and sour pork."

"I like sweet and sour pork, but it's so hard to make. It's either raw or overcooked, and never crispy enough."

"I heard that Envoy Mist wrote a recipe book specifically for us? I need to buy more seasonings. Oh, do you think it's too late to dig a tree hole now? The rainy season is coming soon."

The tribe leader was already quite old, over a hundred and fifty years old. His deep green hair, like lake water, was streaked with silver strands, braided together with a colorful hair rope. A gray-green snake tail, even larger than the other orcs, coiled around him. Ya, standing next to him, seemed smaller. He listened to the conversation around him, his ears twitching. His old, clear eyes wrinkled with a smile as he looked at Ya beside him. "Are there new orcs joining the tribe? I don't see how active everyone is."
