Searching for food through the beast world

corn rice

Ever since they ate omelets and scrambled eggs with green onions made by Ding Xiao, these orcs have become obsessed with this taste.Although they think raw eggs are delicious, they are obviously more delicious when they are cooked.The key is that the egg liquid on the hot oil will instantly become much larger, and they are very excited about the fact that it can increase in size.

In the next two days of the trip, whether it was a male hunting in a distant place or a half-orc hunting nearby, they collectively chose to pay attention to the dry grass or the bird's nest on the tree.Ding Xiao had no idea when it was the hatching season for wild birds, but he did see a lot of eggs in the past two days.Big, small, white, yellow, and green.Fortunately, he inquired secretly, these orcs would leave a few eggs when they went to search for other people's nests and bird nests, otherwise Ding Xiao was really worried that this would be a catastrophe for birds.

Even so, eating eggs non-stop for two consecutive days is not enough.Ding Xiao told them to stop attacking eggs on the grounds that "eating too much will make you feel uncomfortable".Although none of the big guys felt uncomfortable, they still chose to be obedient.It's really because the food made by the cub of the Qiong family is so delicious that they collectively think that the person who knows how to cook must know more about the consequences of eating too much than they do.

By the afternoon of the sixth day, their team was not far from the safety zone around the wall.Here they found a lot of pearl fruit. Based on the principle of never missing it when passing by, the team stopped to pick fruit ears collectively.

Ding Xiao was pleasantly surprised to see the long-lost big corn near the pearl fruit bush.Yes, the corn is quite big, each stick is about half a meter, so Ding Xiao can only call him big corn.In fact, it is not so accurate to say that it is corn, because although the fruits and plants of this plant look like corn, in fact this plant is woody, and all the corn cobs are on the thick and strong trunk, and the trunk It's as thick as an adult male's arm.

The content displayed by the sky eye is called "long beard stick", it seems that the people here have given it a name.But after smelling the smell, it is undoubtedly corn.

What do you do next when you see corn?Of course it's picking!For Ding Xiao's judgment on food, the Yihu people who accompanied him this time were absolutely convinced.In fact, these long-bearded orcs know that they can eat them, but they only eat the tender corn that just bears fruit in summer.According to He, the long beard sticks at that time tasted soft and sweet, and when you bite into a piece of water, you can only eat the outer layer, and the inner core is not delicious at all.But now at the end of autumn, these long-bearded sticks are too dry and hard, and the middle part can't be chewed, let alone swallowed.Therefore, long beard sticks, like pearl fruit, are food discarded by orcs.

After hearing this, Ding Xiao silently mourned for the corns in another world.These orcs really don't understand the benefits of Mr. Corn.But it doesn't matter, Mr. Corn will definitely flourish in the orc world in the future! "Father, is there such a long-bearded club in the domain of our winged tiger clan?"

He replied: "Yes, but not as many as pearl fruit. There seems to be only such a small piece around here. If you still want it, you can go back and pick it later." The premise is that it is really delicious.

Ding Xiao frowned.It seems that they can't eat it openly. Even if the territories of other tribes are as numerous as a cow's hair, their Mavericks can't get a lot of them.As for the ones I got now, I should leave at least two sticks as seeds. As for the planting, I'd better go back and talk about it, or else I will secretly chat with Kun at night.He must be more thoughtful than himself.The point is that Kun doesn't want to be like Dad, who will ask questions whenever he has a question.

After picking the corn without much delay, He led the crowd into the safe zone around the wall.

The safe area of ​​the wall is surrounded by a circle of artificial rivers.Ding Xiao reckoned that people from different tribes set this place as a trading area at the beginning, probably due to the fact that there is a ready-made water source here, and there is a large flat dense forest under their feet, which is convenient for the orcs to live here for a short time.He didn't know the specific reason. It is said that it happened tens of thousands of years ago.

The Yihu tribe was not the first tribe to reach the wall. Before them, the Flying Leopard tribe and the Lingque tribe had already arrived.And even among the Winged Tiger Clan, Tianhe Village was only the third team to arrive.Before that, the people from Sanshan Village and Tiger God City were already in place.

He took Minhe to meet the two team leaders of the same clan first, and told each other what the village had brought over this year.You know, even though they all belong to a tribe, there is still healthy competition between each village.

Kun's responsibility is to arrange the places where the first batch of people live.As for where the booth is, it will be a matter early in the morning, and everyone will just sit there after unpacking their burdens, and no one is in a hurry.In fact, everyone is thinking about those long-bearded sticks in their hearts now.Ding Xiao said that it was delicious when cooked, and they were looking forward to it.

Putting up tents is what the males are best at. It didn't take half an hour for the tents to be set up one by one.The distance between Ding Xiao's tent and Joan's tent is about five meters, but this is considered a very close distance. After all, the male has to maintain a beast shape to rest here.In fact, Ding Xiao told Abba that if you set up the tent bigger, the males don't have to maintain their animal shape.But Joan's answer is that it's not that they can't set up a big tent, but that males must maintain vigilance at all times in places where there are foreigners, especially in the center of Aomori, and they must be more vigilant at all times.While in animal form, the male's sense of smell, hearing, strength, and speed are several times those in human form.

However, Ding Xiao felt that the most useful sentence was actually the sentence: "Don't worry about them being cold. If these males are in good health, as long as they maintain their animal form, they won't be too cold in the severe winter, not to mention that it's autumn now." Xiaoxiao must admit , The reason why he thought of setting up a big tent was entirely because he felt that the night wind in the forest was extremely cold, and he was always worried that Dad and Kun would catch a cold.Even if he sees that they are big tigers every day, he will reflect on himself thinking too much, anyway, he can worry about being too redundant!

In view of the fact that the masses are looking forward to these old corns, even though they have reached the safe area of ​​the fence, they still have to eat "big pot rice" for the first meal.For this kind of old corn that is already hard to teeth, the most suitable is to grind it into cornmeal or corn slag.Forget about the former, you still have to find stones to make a stone mill.The latter is okay, just have to work hard for these males.Grind it with your palm!He had seen Kun grind pearl fruit with his fingers before, and it was almost powdered, so he didn't believe that the corn kernels were not good.The hardness and size of the two are almost the same.

Of course, corn threshing also needs to be done manually.This eliminates the need for the male to reach out.After sending them to hunt and telling them not to miss the corn when they saw it, Ding Xiao began to demonstrate how to break the corn kernels.

Don't look at Ding Xiao's family who opened a grain store in his previous life, but the number of times he peeled corn kernels by himself is really limited.In addition, it is inconvenient for him to hold the oversized corn, so the speed of peeling is slow enough.Originally, he was the one who taught everyone how to peel them so that they could be neatly and quickly row by row, but it didn't take him to peel a whole cob of corn. These uncles and aunts and even their sisters learned it.

Ding Xiao's speed is basically the same as that of a female cub.This made Xiaoxiao very annoyed.I thought to myself, I must exercise after I go back!You can't ask Dad, Dad, and Kun for help with everything!Old men, you have to work hard, and next year I will officially start learning to hunt.The bird hunting records of the previous two shit lucks are basically impossible to replicate...

The others didn't realize that Ding Xiao was secretly setting up an exercise plan for himself, but they were more concerned about whether the long beard stick would be as sweet after cooking as it was when it was tender.Especially Lianzhi, she has never eaten such a thing, even the tender ones, let alone the old ones.But what she was most curious about was why grandma and dad called it long-bearded sticks, while brother Xiaoxiao said that the peeled ones were called corn kernels.

For this question, Ding Xiao gave the simplest answer: "Don't you think this is much simpler than the fruit peeled off by a long beard stick?"

Lian Zhi nodded: "That's true. Anyway, why don't you eat it?"

Ding Xiao was ashamed.Fortunately, this question was not asked by Jing.Otherwise, he will definitely follow up such as "Then why must it be corn kernels, not XX kernels, OO kernels, or X kernels, which is simpler?"So when dealing with this female cub who is only obsessed with delicious food, Xiaoxiao thinks it must be much easier to deal with than her two good brothers...

In the process of crushing the corn kernels, some of the hard and thin skin outside the rice kernels will be removed to some extent. Although it is a bit wasteful, he thinks it is necessary for his own teeth.

Cooking corn ballast rice is similar to cooking rice, the only difference is the time and the amount of water.It's a pity that Ding Xiao doesn't know much about the big corn grown from this woody plant. He has no idea how long it can be cooked, so he simply added more water, and at worst he made it into porridge, which is better for digestion.

To feed nineteen, they shucked thirty cobs of corn.That sounds like a lot, but consider its actual size.These thirty sticks are already half of the harvest, and enough for Ding Xiao to cook two pots of rice, uh...maybe porridge...

When you have food, the only thing you want to think about is to order food!When I ate braised loach in the first two days, I was still feeling that there was no food for me to eat. I didn't expect Mr. Corn to come to see me so eagerly.Although the barbecue and stir-fried vegetables that he eats on weekdays are very good for dinner, Ding Xiao feels that on this special day, what he says needs to be a little new.

The ingredients in hand are limited now.But he is also very clear that even if these orcs like and accept corn rice, it will not become a staple food for a while, and barbecue is still the mainstream among the mainstream.Naturally, the number of meals does not need to be too much.

The jerky brought from home is the same except for Ding Xiao’s. It’s just marinated with salt, pepper powder, and green onion powder, and then dried in the sun.Although this kind of jerky tastes very simple when eaten alone, it can actually be used for stewing.In this way, the umami taste fermented by the food during the pickling process will melt into the soup, and the taste will naturally be better.Originally, the meat of animals is not suitable for eating immediately after being slaughtered, but the people here are just used to it.

There are still some carrots in stock, because every time they are stewed until they are very soft, the peculiar smell of carrots will completely disappear, and it will turn into a sweet taste.Among the dozen or so people, none of them didn't like to eat it. After thinking about it, Ding Xiao thought that pickled carrot soup was advisable.

Originally, Ding Xiao was a little bit reluctant to part with the few pieces of bacon he brought, but fortunately these orcs are very knowledgeable.They all brought a piece of bacon from their homes and handed it to Ding Xiao.Looking at these fleshy pieces, each of which was the size of an adult male's palm, Xiaoxiao narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.This way you can save yourself money!

Don't blame Xiaoxiao for being stingy, he has already used up all the pearl flour he brought with him along the way.The soy sauce is almost used up, and the mushroom powder and five-spice powder are consumed by one-third, and vegetable salt and green onion powder are available in every household, so it is more economical to use them evenly.

Before stewing the marinated meat, Ding Xiao first skewered the pieces of meat and roasted them over fire to add a roasted aroma to the meat, then cut the vegetables into pieces, put them in a large clay pot, and stewed them together with the carrot pieces.Because the saltiness of the meat is already very high in order to preserve it, sweet carrots and water are added to neutralize the taste better. Therefore, seasonings such as salt and soy sauce cannot be added. Ding Xiao chooses to add the puree made of fragrant herbs And Jun bark to Tixiang.

Light oil bacon and carrot soup is far from enough for dinner.Considering that the weather is a bit cloudy today, he decided to spare the kenaf paste for a meat dish.As for the fact that I really want to eat vegetables, it is easy to solve. The red lettuce picked yesterday can be used for stir-frying. That's enough, cut the remaining half and put it in the stewed bacon, it can also increase the fragrance.

The males came back from hunting one after another, and everyone had something to harvest, but the size was not too large. It seems that it has something to do with the sudden increase of orc males in the vicinity.But they still hunted down a cow.It looked about the same size as the barefoot cow I had eaten, but it was a little fatter in width.The most eye-catching thing is that the fur of this cow is so black that there is no trace of impurities, except for the tuft of white on the tip of the tail, which looks like a white pompom on a black stick, which is still very beautiful of.

Seeing that Kun put the two much smaller prey in his hands between the tents of himself and his father, and other orcs also put their prey on the edge of their tents, Ding Xiao knew that this was a small man It's all private.Well, yes, this cow is enough for today's dinner.

Take the beef shank and cut it into slices and put it in a large clay pot. Use vegetable salt and pepper powder to get the basic taste.The sliced ​​meat from a beef leg is enough to fill more than half of the jar. For the dishes with rice, this amount is just right, especially after the kenaf paste and spicy bean paste are added, the taste must be very strong. If there is too much, I am afraid that the corn rice will not be enough.

Use another large earthenware pot as a frying spoon, cut the beef in and refine the oil, first put in the shallots and four small onions that have been chopped into pieces.If you want to spread the sauce evenly, it is unrealistic to stir it evenly with a roasting shovel in this kind of container, so Ding Xiao spared his own hands and got two big spoonfuls of kenaf sauce and three big spoonfuls of spicy bean sauce, put them in Grab and knead desperately on the salted beef slices.Doing so will make the meat slices tasty quickly, shorten the time for frying, and save some seasonings.But the price is that Ding Xiao can be sure that his hand will never touch his eyes for at least the next day.

However, seeing Ding Xiao's hand covered in red sauce from repeatedly kneading the meat slices in the clay pot, Brother Kun's eyes lit up, he really wanted to pull up Xiaoxiao's hand and put it to his mouth to lick it clean.It must be delicious! (You’re enough, this is not roasted pig’s trotters! “) It’s a pity that I didn’t dare to do it because I was worried that Xiaoxiao would get angry...
