Marry a Wife In the Orc World - Chapter 48

Spring came back unknowingly. The earth began to thaw. The spring light shone softly on the snow surface, reflecting a little light, and people who had been idle for a winter can finally come out to move around. Everyone was busy outside the house in twos and threes, washing, scrubbing, and basking in the sun. The children chased and laughed at each other. The snow that just melted was wet and slippery. Either you fell or he fell. The clothes were covered with muddy water in a short while, and some parents yelled at the children. , There are also parents laughing secretly, watching the children play happily. The whole village regained its vitality, and Cheng Cheng and Lantian Trud no longer dared to participate in the children’s games, and they only watched from a distance. Some adults also nodded their heads to greet them in a friendly way.

Basically all the food in the family has been eaten, and every family has to look for food. Cheng Cheng brought tools and led Tru, Blue Sky Lanhua, Batu, and Qinghua to go fishing together. In this season, except for the easy catch of fish, other animals are not so easy to catch. There are also a lot of orcs who go hunting. All are hungry and skinny, there is not much meat to eat, and they are extraordinarily fierce, so hunting is the most difficult at this time. The Cheng family was also an adult orc in Lan Hua. Although Qinghua didn’t have to worry about running out of food, he didn’t want to take food from everyone’s mouth at this time, so the family had no choice but to fish.

The river that had just thawed was very cold, and there were still large chunks of floating ice floating on the water. The big trees on the shore had woken up, the branches began to turn green, and there were still no young leaves. Everyone’s shoes are not waterproof, only Cheng Cheng’s shoes are barely enough, so Lan Hua and Cheng Cheng are casting nets and fishing, and the others are watching from the shore.

At this time, you don’t need bait for fishing. I cast a net directly on the bank into the middle of the river. After a while, I saw a lot of big fish jumping around in the net. The two pulled the net on the shore forcefully. As soon as they left the water, Tru came to help, and followed them to drag the net to the shore. A net of fish was thrown on the shore, and Lantian and Qinghua happily picked up the fish, and soon the basket was installed. It’s more than half. Batu cheered and ran around with a group of children, playing happily. The little orcs are still more active than the females, they are also more naughty, and they play extremely crazy.

“Batu, your family catches so many fish. Give me two.” A little partner looked at the basket full of fish enviously, and his saliva almost shed. A winter has passed, and every household is short of food, not to mention this fresh fish. It has been a long time since the last time we fished, because the surface of the river was too frozen, it was difficult to break the frozen layer, and everyone still had food at the time, so they never fished again.

“Okay. But there are only two.” Batu was generous and asked each of his friends to pick two big fish. Cheng Cheng folded a few small branches on the shore and put them on the fish gills to let the children drag them. Going home. After a while, a few more orcs came over. They usually have a better relationship with Lan Hua and are kinder to everyone. Cheng Chengcheng gave them the fishnet.

For dinner that day, people in the whole village ate fresh fish, basically every family fished a few nets. Sometimes everyone has a strange love for food. In fact, you can come to fish after eating, but everyone has to make a full basket before stopping. Fortunately, there are plenty of fish in the river, otherwise Cheng Cheng would worry about overfishing if he won’t have any fish in the future.

“I want to eat fried fish nuggets.” Qinghua was the first to call out. He missed the crispy taste very much. Usually the fish he eats most is grilled. This way of eating, I have long been tired of eating it, and it is grilled. Fish, the bones are not easy to deal with, and if they are not good, they will get stuck by the fish bones. But the fried fish pieces are different, the fish bones are fried crispy, and the fish meat is easy to separate from the fish bones. For a person like him who likes to eat fish but is not good at managing thorns, it can’t be the most convenient. Of course, his proposal has won everyone’s approval. When the fragrant smell of deep-frying floated, there were a few uninvited guests at home. Who would let them have a stone pot? Clay pots can’t make this dish. Truu had fried the fish for a long time, and finally invited all these people away. They ate and brought them, which made Qinghua extremely unhappy.

In the last Wingbird incident, many people in the village said so many awkward things to Tru and Lantian secretly, and there were no one who said a few good things. This time, they will all come to eat delicious fish. In fact, these people usually have a better relationship with them, and they have a thicker skin.

“I wanted to make a new dish for you. But everyone loves to eat fried fish nuggets, let it go.” Cheng Cheng chewed on the crispy fried fish nuggets, teasing Qinghua and the blue sky. Both of these are delicious ghosts, but one doesn’t do it, and the other doesn’t know how to do it. They are all guys who just eat and don’t cook. Blue sky can only make clothes, Qinghua only likes to play with herbs. These two people usually do the least housework. Tru and Cheng Cheng always cook.

“What’s delicious?” The blue sky dropped the fish and rubbed it over, looking at Cheng Cheng with bright eyes, like a mischievous little pug, wagging its tail and flattering. Cheng Cheng was amused secretly, and after eating the fish nuggets in his hands, he said slowly: “Last time I said I would steam some fish cakes. Do you remember.”

Qinghua and Truu had already raised their ears, and now they said in unison: “Remember.”

“That’s the one that can fill your stomach, what you said is like steamed buns?” Lantian asked, always listening to Cheng Cheng talking about steamed buns. Unfortunately, there is no flour here, and even if there is flour, you can’t make steamed buns at the moment. There are no tables on the noodles, let alone no steamer or many tools.

“Yes, but you have to make a steamer first.” Cheng Cheng replied unhurriedly.

“Then do it quickly.” Everyone urged. I thought this steamer was a very simple thing.

Cheng Cheng and Barabara talked a lot about how to make the steamer, how to use it, and so on. I heard everyone in the cloud, and no one understood it for a long time. In the end, everyone just kept urging him to do it quickly.

The next day, when he woke up early in the morning, Cheng Cheng was ordered by everyone to make a steamer quickly. Cheng Cheng had to pick up the axe and knife that he hadn’t used for a while and started peeling the bamboo. He didn’t use this steamer before. I have done it before, but many people in rural homes have this stuff. They need to use it during festivals, weddings and funerals. I’ve seen a lot, but it’s really difficult to make it. Cheng Cheng only wants to make a small one, like steamed xiaolongbao. There is no big pot here, the big steamer can’t be used, and it’s much harder to make.

After a day’s work, and with the help of Tru, the four-story steamer was finally ready. The top cover is made of thin sheets, and this one is done by Tru. The three-layer steamer grid below was basically done by Cheng Cheng himself. Midway, Lantian and Qinghua helped him make the circle, and then put on the thin bamboo sticks. It was still very troublesome and difficult to make. The four people were sweating profusely, but although the finished product looked rough, it still looked decent. It’s just that everyone has looked at this new thing, and can’t imagine how such a small thing can be used?

Cheng Cheng smiled triumphantly and instructed Tru to deal with fish, using fresh fish and meat to make fish cakes. Qinghua was assigned to go out to find some fresh meat. He has the right to take anything for food in the village, but he never does it, because everyone has good things, he will always leave some for him, unless He doesn’t want it. And when he treats someone, the patient’s family will give him something he likes or needs. But there was only a little bacon at home, and Lan Hua knew that someone had gone out and hit prey, so he asked Qinghua to ask for a piece of fresh meat.

Cheng Cheng first made a demonstration. He cut off the thick meat from the back of the fish, removed the big fish bones in the middle, and carefully removed the fish skin. The big pieces of fish were piled up in the basin, and then he let Truu take the fish piece by piece. The main purpose of beating is to get rid of the thorns inside. You can also chop the fish, which must be chopped into fine pieces, and then the thorns can be found out. Qinghua quickly got back a large piece of fresh meat. Cheng Cheng chose a thick piece of meat and chopped it on the side. Then he chopped the chopped fish and meat together, and mixed in salt and some seasonings. The product, and finally smashed quickly, until the stumbling became thicker and more vigorous, and took another egg, as long as the egg yolk was beaten into a pulp for later use.

Put half of the pot of water in the stone pot and put the steamer in it. After the water is boiled, the fish cakes can be steamed. Put a paste of fish meat in the grid of a steamer, and touch it with a thin layer of egg yolk slurry. Put it on the lid and steam it on high heat for a while. The most troublesome thing about making fish cakes is to chop fish and meat, and the ratio between the two should be appropriate, not too much fish, too little meat, and the meat should be fatter. Stirring is also a very important step. The better the stir, the more elastic the fish cake paste will be, so that the steamed fish cake will be soft, tasty and tough.

After a while, the fish cakes were cooked. They lay in the steamer like big golden buns. They were taken out and cut into small pieces, and one of them was eaten in one’s hands.

“How is it? It’s delicious, right?” Cheng Cheng asked everyone biting the fish cake.

“It’s delicious.” Everyone nodded. There was no time to talk to him, and soon they finished sharing a pot of fish cakes. Lan Hua and Batu were a step late when they came back, and had to wait eagerly for the second pot. The small steamer was originally very small, and it could only steam four small steamers at once, which was about 30 or 40 small steamed buns. , So even one person can’t get enough to eat. Cheng Cheng can eat 30 xiaolongbaos by himself, not to mention that the fish cakes are not as easy to fill up as the steamed buns.

I steamed several cages in a row, finally filling everyone’s stomachs. After the remaining fish cakes are steamed, they are only more than ten kilograms in the basket. Cheng Cheng said that he wanted to save the soup for cooking. This fish cake was originally a dish, no one was the staple food. The soup is delicious, especially with some fresh mushrooms and vegetables, and then throw in a handful of noodles. It can be a fragrant and nutritious breakfast.
