Hot pot, one of the two main elements of cooking that was fast and delicious. As long as the soup base was prepared, all that was left was for the person who wanted to eat to put the raw ingredients into the boiling hot pot. All of the effort was focused on that pot of soup. Of course, the freshness of the ingredients was also important.
Of course, a certain person wasn't cooking a pot of hot water and a few big bones to boil the soup. Instead, it was the Chongqing Spicy Hot Pot recipe that he found from the depths of his memory. The Jia Long Chamber of Commerce had already provided more than 90% of the ingredients he needed. Even if the taste wasn't perfect, 70% to 80% was no problem. If there was something he wasn't satisfied with, it would be that there wasn't enough variety of chili.
Even so, when that pot of soup base was brought to the table, no one didn't frown. Spicy Hot Pot wasn't something that could be experienced the moment you ate it, but when you smelled it, it began to show its power.
In addition to that pot of soup base that was quite horrifying in the eyes of others, there was also a bowl of noodles in front of everyone that looked a bit normal. But the noodle soup was also red, and the smell it emitted was not only pungent, but also a bit sour.
But this bowl was a pity for a certain person. The noodles of the hot and sour noodles should be made with sweet potato powder. The taste made with flour wasn't as authentic. This could only be considered a bowl of hot and sour noodles with a different taste. Although the Jia Long Chamber of Commerce also provided sweet potatoes, they had no idea how to make it. It wasn't like they would only try to figure out how to make it when they were hungry, so they could only make do with noodles.
Not to mention that there were many people present who weren't ordinary people. Even those who truly belonged to ordinary people were curious and frightened when they saw the pot of red soup being brought to the table and the pungent smell wafting through the air. And that bowl of red noodles, although it wasn't as horrifying as the pot of soup, it definitely didn't have an intimate taste.
For example, Vana, she had once seen a magician use duck blood or pig blood to make different dishes. At that time, her worldview had collapsed. She couldn't believe that kind of thing could be eaten. It must be some kind of magic or evil ritual. Although in the end, it was proven that it was really delicious … … And this pot of red soup base with a pungent smell, it shouldn't be some kind of bloody dish, right?
Lin Fan did not do any promotion. To a foodie, there was nothing wrong with having the food on the table and others not moving their chopsticks. It just so happened that they could eat more. However, for new friends, the most basic explanation was still necessary. There weren't any cutlery on the table. Other than spoons and spoons, there were only two small wooden sticks.
Lin Feng explained as he demonstrated how to use the chopsticks. Finally, he picked up the hot and sour noodles and slurped a big mouthful. Awesome ~! Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he picked up a piece of raw tripe, cooked it in a flurry, and put it into his mouth.
The long-awaited taste exploded in her mouth, and tears flowed from her eyes. Lin didn't know if it was because he was choked by the spiciness that he had tasted again after nearly 20 years, or if he was truly moved.
Just as someone was savoring the aftertaste, the two girls did not hesitate to follow their teacher's movements. Although Fen was a step behind, she was not as impatient as the other two apprentices. She did not have any table manners at all. Then it was Uzov, the four silver-bearded dwarves, and the humanized black dragon Augustus.
The two children and the four kittens were not suitable to eat by themselves because of their young age or small size. Therefore, Vana, who was in charge of the two children, let them eat the hot and sour noodles in their bowls first, while she tried out the taste of this scary looking dish.
William Greco could not hold back his curiosity, and of course, he also cooked a piece of tripe. Azad, on the other hand, used the hot and sour noodles in front of him to play with the chopsticks in his hand. After he felt that he was familiar with it, he imitated someone and slurped a mouthful of hot and sour noodles.
Then … everyone exploded!
Some were pouting, some were looking for water to drink, some opened their mouths to breathe in the wind, and the most exaggerated was Jermaine, who directly fell to the ground and rolled around with the four kittens. Only a certain person did not care about his tears and sweat, and ate happily. After cooking the tripe, he cooked the meat slices, then cooked the cabbage.
After a while, Lin Fan noticed that there were two fat boys staring at him with hopeful eyes, and their bowls were only left with leftover soup.
As the saying goes, it is better to enjoy together than to enjoy alone. Since the children's mother had also died, Lin Fan took on the task of feeding them, and one of the fat boys cooked a piece of tripe. The two of them took a bite, and then their eyes lit up. They finished a large piece of tripe in a few bites, and then knocked their bowls to ask for food.
Seeing the two boys' actions, Lin immediately lectured them, "Don't knock your bowls when eating, only beggars do such things."
The two fat boys who stopped knocking their bowls pointed to the meat plate on the table and said in a coquettish voice, "Meat, I want meat."
Inexplicably, a certain person actually had a feeling that these two boys had a limitless future.
In the end, the spicy hot pot was not enjoyed by a certain person alone. Perhaps it was choking at the first bite, but after getting used to it, it was one bite after another, and the chopsticks could not stop. In a certain person's words, this feeling could be described with three simple words: numb, spicy, and refreshing!
Not only was a large pot of hot and sour noodles eaten up, but the two girls also went into the kitchen a few times to cut some ingredients that could be cooked. Because the spicy soup base needed to be stir-fried separately, a certain lazy guy did not plan to go into the kitchen again, so when adding soup, he just used homemade bean paste and stock to top it up.
The group of people ate for a long time, and after adding soup several times, they almost ate the spicy soup base into a clear soup. Only then did they stick out their stomachs and pick their teeth as if they had not had enough.
According to Azad's explanation, that was that people who practiced martial arts had a large appetite to begin with, and eating until they were 70% full was still okay.
With this "still okay", Azad's whole body was still sprawled out on the sofa and burping. Lin guessed in his heart that this guy probably would not be driven away in a short period of time.
Although William Greco did not care about his image, he also had a satisfied look on his face as he drank iced beer with his two red-faced masters. This was also one of the products of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce. Compared to the original ale, the most important thing was that hops were added to the beer, making the wine less sweet and more sweet and bitter. After being iced, the taste was even better.
Holding up a special beer cup, William said, "Friend, tonight's dinner was really amazing. I never thought that cooking could have such a taste. "
"Well said, there are countless delicacies in the world. I just like to eat more than most people, and I've eaten more types. Sometimes when I miss a taste and try hard to find it, I can only restore 70% to 80% of it. Compared to the delicacies in my memories, there is still room for improvement. But thanks to you, if I didn't know the people of the Jialong Chamber of Commerce, it would have been very difficult for me to collect so many spices. "
William, whose eyes were shining, said, "Oh, then, is it okay if I stay here and disturb you for a while?"
"You're welcome, what's wrong with that? Just one more mouth won't make me sick. It's just that you came to the Holy City through the Turtledove Alliance. Is there nothing else? Can you stay here with me? "
"Don't worry, I didn't come here for anything important. It's just a stopover on my journey. I came here because there was a rumor within the alliance that the Holy City's Technology Guild needed help, so I came to take a look. "
From William's words, he learned that William's daily life was to visit people everywhere and occasionally help out with some trivial matters. Work had never been part of his life plan. This also made it so that even though he was short on money, he didn't have to worry about lacking in daily necessities. In any case, there were people who would provide for him.
At the very least, he would enter the wilderness alone, or fight against magical beasts for rewards, or hunt for a meal or two. For him, it wasn't difficult.
He pursued life, but he didn't pursue material life. It sounded like a tongue twister, but this was indeed William Greco's attitude towards life. And at his level of strength, there really were people "providing" for him wherever he went.
Perhaps it was strange to use this word, but the truth was that the people he met on his journey, even if they didn't rely on his strength, would rather provide for him well and not let him find trouble with them. Not to mention, with such a great god sitting at home, if he really encountered a life-threatening situation, he would definitely not sit by and do nothing.
Of course, there were many times when this white Sword Saint chose to leave a place because that friend's request had stepped on his red line. In a situation where he didn't want to fall out, he could only leave. And because of this personality, he basically wouldn't come into contact with the dark side of some people's business, and no one had the means to make him stay. So until now, he was still living freely.
But after chatting for so long, Lin couldn't help but suspect that he didn't have time to practice martial arts or battle skills in his daily life. Then did this strength fall from the sky?
Faced with a certain someone's question, the white Sword Saint showed a puzzled and puzzled expression, saying, "Why do I need to practice? Isn't it something that can be figured out just by thinking about it, and things that can be done after thinking about it? "
To this, Fen and Azad both nodded in agreement. A certain transmigrator expressed to the others that he just wanted to strangle these people to death.
In short, after this eventful day, there were two more guests in the house.
But when the two girls who had cleaned up the dining room and kitchen came to him, they pointed out the window pitifully and pointed at the mess that hadn't been cleaned up in time in the gardener's room. Lin sighed and asked, "How bad are the losses in the silkworm room?"
Halloumi replied, "The six reserved species are all gone. The adult Golden Demon Moths are either dead or have flown away, and there aren't many larvae left. As for the larvae of the other species, there are probably less than twenty percent left. It's a terrible loss. "
"Then how much of the dried cocoons can be used?"
"About one hundred twenty or thirty kilograms. Maybe some are just dirty and can still be used after cleaning. "Halloumi suddenly changed the topic and asked," Teacher, aren't you going to look into it? "
"What's there to look into? Those that are dead or have flown away, can anyone change them back? "
The blonde girl shook her head.
"Is there anyone else who can fix that broken machine?"
The blonde girl and the black-haired girl shook their heads together.
"So, in the end, the responsibility of dealing with the aftermath still falls on us. What's the point of looking into it? "
The three of them sighed at the same time. Lin said again, "Let's start fixing the jacquard machine tomorrow. With the amount of cocoons we have left, it shouldn't be a problem to make three sets of clothes. Although we want to make a few more sets in one go, it will take some time to restore the production capacity. So let's not wait, you guys can start planning. Once the machine is fixed, we'll start the process. "
The two girls raised their eyebrows. Finally, there was some good news today.
