Chapter 14 Stew

Bai has no way to cook cooked food. Moss has grown in the corner of the stone pot used by his parents when they were alive. Water and sand occasionally give Bai some food. Grey, it can still be used after washing.

On the left hand side of the entrance to the house, there is an abandoned simple stove. It has not been used for many years, and it has collapsed. The stones have fallen to the ground. Not to mention, Wu Nuo didn't even know it was a stove.

Wu Nuo arranged the stones in order, and picked up some stones of suitable size outside, repaired them, and a brand new stove was ready. One side of the stove is leaning against the stone wall, and the other two sides are completely built of stones, without any sticky substances, so you must be extra careful when using it.

Wu Nuo tried his best to recall the earthen stoves he had seen in the countryside before, and he could still recall the general appearance of them, but he didn't know if he could get one himself. The most important thing is to get the chimney out, otherwise the house will be smoky as soon as you make a meal, which can be tolerated for a short time, but he can't stand it for a long time, and it's not good for his health. Of course, it is best to separate the kitchen from the housing.

After finishing the stove, Wu Nuo took the lifeless stone pot to the river and washed it several times before the stone pot was completely clean. Facing the river water, Wu Nuo took the prey brought by Bai, gutted them one by one, peeled and dug out their stomachs, and cleaned them up thoroughly. Because there was plenty of food, Wu Nuo didn't plan to eat those animal offal. He just washed it briefly and put it aside, saving it for fishing bait in the afternoon.

Seeing that Wu Nuo was having a hard time moving the stone pot, and he really couldn't help, so when he was washing the pot by the river, Bai ran to wake up Shi Hu, who was still sleeping late, and let Shi Hu take him with him. His slaves came to help.

Facing Shihu, Bai never knew how to write politely. Not only asked him to come and help, but also asked him for a large bundle of dry firewood, a large bowl of salt, a small half fan of pig and animal meat, and melons and fruits picked by his slaves from the forest, etc. In the process of picking, Bai found something that was half red and half green. He had eaten it by accident before, and it was especially, um, very spicy. When eating dried fish last night, Xiao Chunren said that the taste is called spicy.

He used to think that taste was particularly unpalatable, and several times the medicine given to him by the big witch had that taste. However, after eating the dried fish last night, Bai swore that he thought the spicy taste was definitely the best he had ever tasted. the taste of. Sucking his saliva, Bai picked out all the peppers (?) that the slaves of Shihu's family had picked by mistake, packed them up and took them away.

Shi Hu and his slaves first moved these things to Bai's house and put them away. When they went to the river, Wu Nuo had already cleaned up the prey.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Shi Hu easily picked up the stone pot filled with water and strode towards Bai's house.

Wu Nuo and Shi Hu's male slave, Lu, worked together, and quickly cleaned out the moss-grown stone water tank next to the stove. Shi Hu ran back and forth several times carrying the stone pot, and finally filled the water tank.

After a busy morning, Wu Nuo was already hungry, so he poured half a pot of water into the stone pot, and under the surprised eyes of Shi Hu and Lu, he lit the fire with a lighter, and asked Lu to watch for him first.

The meat of the three small animals that were killed by Bai was relatively tender and firm, without any special fishy smell, and it was fine to eat stewed or fried. However, the meat of these three small animals is mostly fleshy. After peeling the skin, there is basically no fat. If they are to be made into stir-fried dishes, oil must be used.

Fortunately, the small half-pan of pig meat carried by Shihu is quite fat, and there is nearly a finger-thick fat under the skin. If it is all picked out and boiled into oil, it can be boiled for several bowls, enough to stir-fry many dishes.

Considering Shihu's original size, Wu Nuo cut off all the belly and thigh meat of the three little beasts, and chopped the rest into pieces of different sizes with a stone knife kindly sponsored by Shihu. I bought some pork and animal meat, put everything in the pot, and when the water boiled, add a little salt and simmer slowly.

Bai told Wu Nuo that he found something spicy at Shi Hu's house, which tasted like the dried fish last night.

Wu Nuo was pleasantly surprised to find that the thing is infinitely similar to the peppers on the earth. Out of caution, Wu Nuo went outside and quietly uploaded a transaction request for a pepper. After the system deducted 5 points, the basic information of the pepper popped up——

Pepper, an annual herb, has a spicy taste and is rich in vitamin C. It can dispel cold, stop dysentery, increase appetite, and promote digestion when taken internally; it can reduce inflammation, kill insects, and inhibit bacteria when used externally. For more detailed information, the host can use transaction points to query and exchange.

As long as it's chili it's fine.

Wu Nuo was so happy that he almost couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, turned off the system control interface, and happily returned to the house to announce: "This is a good thing, it's especially delicious when added to dishes."

Shi Hu accidentally ate green chili, just now I didn't recognize it, but now I've remembered it. When he thought of the burning taste in his mouth at that time, he couldn't help showing a bit of disgust on his face, and muttered: "I've eaten it, and it tasted very strange. It 's not tasty."

"How do you eat it?" Wu Nuo asked curiously.

"Of course, put a whole one in your mouth and eat it." Shi Hu felt that Wu Nuo's question was simply too strange.

Well, chewing a whole chili in his mouth, Wu Nuoguang was drunk just thinking about the taste.

"Your way of eating is wrong, you can try it later, I made it, it is guaranteed to be delicious." Wu Nuo said confidently.

Shi Hu is still skeptical.

Wu Nuo ignored him and continued to pick and choose among the small pile of melons and fruits. Except for peppers, there was nothing familiar. Wu Nuo was a little disappointed, so he randomly picked up a white strip-shaped oval fruit, washed it with water, and took a big bite.

It actually smells like carrots!

Different from the radishes that Wu Nuo had eaten before, this fruit has a lighter 'radish taste', sweeter taste, more moisture, and is more crisp, tender and juicy than radishes.

This thing stewed into the meat, the taste is definitely not bad. As a senior foodie and chef, Wu Nuo can draw a conclusion with certainty.

After asking Shihu about this kind of thing called 'long melon', people in the tribe eat it as a fruit without any side effects, Wu Nuo did not upload its information to the system for the time being. He directly picked out all four long melons from the melon and fruit pile, washed and cut them into pieces, and put them aside for later use.

Then, he slowly sliced ​​the meat that he had just cut into as thin as possible with a knife, sprinkled salt and put it aside to marinate. Wash the half-red peppers, cut some into small pieces obliquely, and set aside for later use, and chop some into fine pieces, and put them in a bowl.

Cooked on high heat, the smell of meat will soon float out of the pot.

The people of the Changhe tribe usually cook the meat until it is almost mature, and then start eating, and there is almost no concept of stew. This is not because they don't like the taste of stewed meat, but because it is not easy to control the heat when burning firewood, and it is easy to burn the water and stew the meat. Meat.

Wu Nuo has long been used to using natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas, and using a stove to control the heat. He has never used this kind of earthen stove for burning firewood. After a lot of tossing, Lu Cai, under his unreliable command, controlled the fire within the range he was satisfied with.

After simmering for a long time, the stone pot gradually turned milky white, and the aroma of the meat was completely stewed. Shi Hu and Da Mao stared at the stone pot with greedy eyes.

When Wu Nuo saw that the heat was almost ready, he poured the chopped long melons into the pot. When the white broth is rolled again, the aroma of long melon finally escapes, mixed with the smell of meat, which is very attractive.

"How long will it take?" Shi Hu couldn't help asking for the third time.

Wu Nuo poked the meat and long melon with a simple stone shovel, and the stew was almost done, "It's ready to eat in a while, I'll make a dipping dish first."

"Okay, water dish? What is that?" Wu Nuo The Chinese pronunciation was used, and Shi Hu imitated it, with a very strange accent.

"Things that can make the stew more delicious." Wu Nuo said, put the minced peppers into the wooden bowl, sprinkle a thin layer of salt, and then pour the hot soup in the pot Spoon a few spoonfuls until the chili powder is covered.

The minced chili was scalded by the boiling broth, and soon a faint fragrance and spiciness wafted out with the boiling heat.

Both Shi Hu and Bai were orcs, with very bright noses, they inhaled a few times at the same time, and their saliva flooded wantonly under the stimulation of this peculiar spicy fragrance.

Wu Nuo couldn't help laughing at the way they swallowed their saliva. There were only chili peppers and salt in the dipping plate. If they added some coriander, green onion, minced garlic, pickled pepper, fermented bean curd and other seasonings, the taste would come out and they would Why don't you just swallow your tongue?

It's a pity that I don't know when I can get those seasonings.

Now that peppers can be found, surely other things can be found too! I really can't find it, at worst, I will ask the system to buy it when I have more points in the future. Wu Nuo thought with confidence.

Before the stew came out of the pot, Wu Nuo took a small bowl of soup to taste. There is no ginger, scallion, and yellow wine in the stew, except for a little salt, and nothing added to enhance the freshness, but the taste is surprisingly good.

Fortunately, although these meats are wild game, the fishy smell is not heavy. The scent of long melon can somewhat remove the fishy smell and improve freshness. These ingredients are all natural and wild, which also makes up for the lack of seasoning to a certain extent Defects.

The soup is fresh and the meat is delicious. Generally speaking, it is not bad, and it is much more delicious than I expected. Wu Nuo silently gave himself a thumbs up, and asked Shi Hu to bring all the vegetables and pots on top of the animal skin. The bottom of the stone pot is square and flat, and when it is placed on the uneven muddy floor, it will be stable after shaking it a few times.

Shi Hu and Big Mao squatted by the pot, drooling non-stop.

"If you are hungry, eat first, and I will cook something." Wu Nuo said, and carried another stone pot that Shihu just brought from home to the stove, and after it was settled, he said to Lu, "I want Boil the oil, the fire is bigger than before, but not too big."

Green nodded a little cautiously, and began to add firewood to the stove, and after a while, the fire became more intense.

Shi Hu was not polite at all, he took the bowl and prepared to scoop up the meat to eat. In the end, Bai scratched his paw severely and stared at him fiercely: "No, we have to wait for the little pure people to eat together." The little angel has been busy all morning and hasn't eaten yet, how can they eat first? ! ╭(╯^╰)╮Seeing that he was about to explode, Shihu sucked his saliva, put down the wooden bowl embarrassingly, and stared at the stew without blinking. If he is in the shape of a beast this time, he probably has ears Both the tail and the tail drooped in grievance.

Wu Nuo poured the cut pork and animal oil into the pot, and soon, there was a sizzling sound in the pot, and gradually, the white fat meat turned into transparent oil, and the fragrance came out.

Lu is a male slave who often goes out with Shi Hu. When Shi Hu is hunting, he looks for and picks edible melons and fruits nearby. When Shi Hu doesn't want to eat raw meat, he has to cook him barbecue or broth.

Green is very good at making barbecue. Shihu bought him back from a small tribe because of this. Compared with Lu's previous master, Shi Hu can be called kind, as long as he doesn't do anything wrong, he won't be punished. Lu is very diligent and smart, and he has not been punished since Shi Hu bought him back. And his former master was simply a nightmare, that man was gloomy and irritable, and he vented on these slaves whenever he had something wrong. As far as he saw with his own eyes, three slaves were beaten to death.

Because of the days of hell, Lu especially cherishes the life in the Changhe tribe, and also likes Shihu, the benevolent master.

Take good care of the master.

It is Green's greatest ideal and life goal at present.

Seeing that the master likes Wu Nuo's cooking so much, Lu secretly pays attention to it, and quietly learns from his teacher.

Wu Nuo didn't notice his small movements, but Wu Nuo was not only not angry, but very happy.

Because the system issued two more tasks to him——

Task 3: Teaching elementary stewing skills

. Task reward: 500 points, a bag of salt.

Task 4: Teaching primary cooking skills

Task reward: 500 points, a kitchen knife.

In Wu Nuo's eyes, points and salt are no longer important, and he only sees kitchen knives.

Kitchen knives, kitchen knives are definitely magic tools in this world!
