Food conquers the world

Hearing the commotion in the village, Maier immediately ran out of the mill excitedly, feeling uncontrollably excited: "Kay! They're back!"

After calling Maier, he realized that he shouldn't care about this person. His face was flushed, he hesitated at the gate of the mill, and finally only said: "I'm going back." Then he ran back to the village by himself.

Seeing Maier's awkward look, Zou Kai just smiled, slowly got up from the grass, patted his clothes, and walked back slowly.

No one in Mrs. Huo Sen's family went to participate in the hunting. It is reasonable to say that there should be no prey, but judging by the respect Mrs. Huo Sen has in the village, Zou Kai bet that someone will send the prey directly to Mrs. Huo Sen's house.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, Zou Kai walked back to Mrs. Huo Sen's house with his leisurely pace. Just as he came home, someone knocked on the door of Mrs. Huo Sen's house.

Zou Kai went to open the door, and there was a brown-haired young man outside the door, somewhat similar to Maier. When he saw Zou Kai who opened the door, the young man seemed to be stunned for a moment, and quickly smiled: "It's Kai, I'm Maier. Er’s elder brother Ithadi, the hunting in the forest of the world went well today, I brought some meat for you.”

As he spoke, Yit shook a large object wrapped in a large leaf in his hand.

Mrs. Huo Sen, who was in the living room, heard the words and smiled and asked Yi Te to come in and sit down. Yi Te waved his hand and refused. He just sent something, and he went back naturally after delivering it.

Zou Kai took the meat wrapped in leaves, and he found that the meat was still hot, exuding the aroma of barbecue.

Mrs. Hosen obviously noticed it too, and she started to clear the table, saying, "Kay, you cut the meat into two pieces, and you'll have it for dinner tonight."

Zou Kai nodded, went to the kitchen to peel off the leaves, and cut the meat into two pieces.The piece of meat weighed two catties, which should be enough for the two of them to eat.

The piece of meat had been roasted by the fire, and the outside looked black and a little charred, but after Zou Kai cut it open, he found that there was still a little blood on the inside.

Zou Kai looked at the meat and hesitated for a while. He had never eaten western food before. He always just looked at places that were expensive and cheap and could only be used as a pretense, but today he looked at This piece of meat suddenly had the idea of ​​pretending to be aggressive.Knives and forks are also used here, and the appearance of the meat is quite a bit like when eating steak, it means medium or medium.

So what, haven't eaten it before, can't we try it now?

Thinking of this, he served the meat cut in half directly on the table.

When eating the first bite, Zou Kai chose a piece of meat that was neither charred nor bloodshot on the outside, and found that the taste of the barbecue was not bad, except for the smoky taste, it was still edible.But the meat tasted strange, unlike any meat he had ever tasted.The meat is very firm, somewhat similar to beef, but not exactly the same, Zou Kai thought, this is probably a unique animal in this world.

Mrs. Huo Sen was sitting opposite him, and found that Zou Kai did not show dissatisfaction with the barbecue, she seemed to smile, and handed Zou Kai a glass of water.

Zou Kai thanked him, took the water, and happily shared the meal with Mrs. Huo Sen.

Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Huo Sen took a sip of water, and suddenly said: "This is the meat of white-eared deer. They came back so early this time, so they hunted a white-eared deer. It's really rewarding."

Zou Kai went over Mrs. Huo Sen's words. He knew from Maier that white-eared deer are very common, so instead of asking about white-eared deer, he said, "Usually, do they come back very late?"

"Usually, I usually go there for two to three days, and I rarely come back in one day." Mrs. Huo Sen said.

"Then how often do they usually go hunting in the Forest of the World?"

How many days do I need to get meat.

"Sometimes half a month, sometimes a month." Mrs. Huo Sen said, "The time is very uncertain. Usually someone proposes to go hunting. If many people want to go, a hunting activity will be organized."

Zou Kai nodded: "Oh, that's it."

After that, Zou Kai ate a little absent-mindedly, and he was hit hard by the fact that he could only eat meat once at least half a month.

The life in Wuliji village is very ordinary, it can be said that it remains the same.Zou Kai has been living here for a week, and found that he does almost the same things every day. There is no entertainment here, and people are running around to get enough to eat, so they don't have time to care about entertainment.

As an outsider, Zou Kai is very free, because he is regarded as a frail child of seventeen or eighteen years old, and lives in the prestigious house of Mrs. Huo Sen, so people in the village will send some food over from time to time, which makes Zou Kai You can eat without doing anything.

And the work of the mill is busy for a while, and it is not the season of wheat harvest, so few people come, and sometimes there is nothing to do for a day.At this time, Zou Kai's only pastime is probably to tease Maier, or to sleep and think about life.

He hasn't come up with any new dishes in the past few days, mainly because Mrs. Huo Sen's family's supplies are too poor. Even if he wants to make something, he will be limited by the conditions.

—For example, he wanted to make hot and sour potato shreds but found that there was no chili.

Time is in a trance because of leisure.

Unknowingly, Zou Kai also helped the mill for a week, and he also got his first reward today: a small bag of flour and a copper coin.

Only now did Zou Kai know that money existed in this world. After a few days when there was no money at all, he almost forgot about money.

On the way home, Zou Kai held the flour in one hand and the copper coin in the other, and put the copper coin in front of his eyes to look carefully.

This copper coin should have been used for a long time. The protruding parts of the copper coin are polished very brightly, but the sunken parts of the copper coin are covered with black dirt and rust.Even so, a human figure can be seen engraved on it, and an unknown flower is engraved on the other side.

The side of the portrait was a little unclear, Zou Kai wiped the copper coins with the corner of his clothes, and he could vaguely see that it was a man with exaggerated curly hair. The man looked young, handsome, and smiled as if he could save the world.

"Sao Bao." Zou Kai muttered and commented, and put the copper coin into his pocket.

He didn't know who this person was, but according to the habits of the previous world, it should be right to guess that it was a big person.But this has nothing to do with him, he is just curious about who is so lucky to be touched every day, maybe even licked every day or forget to bring toilet paper to wipe when going to the toilet-uh, is there paper money in this world?

Zou Kai scratched his short hair and swayed back slowly.His life here has always been very idle, so idle that he was lazy, and everything he did became slow.

As he walked, he was thinking about what to eat tonight, um, there is flour, and finally he doesn't have to eat potatoes only, um... let's eat some fried potato balls or something.

Now that he had decided what to eat, Zou Kai returned to Mrs. Huo Sen's house and started to do it.

First mash the boiled potatoes into a mash, then add flour, eggs, water, and sugar and knead them until they are evenly soft. Zou Kai then puts down the mashed potatoes and starts a fire.

Put oil in a hot pan, heat the oil and add potato balls.

Zou Kai obviously has rich experience in croquettes. He dipped his left hand in water, grabbed the dough, squeezed a ball of mashed potatoes the size of a pigeon egg from between his fingers and thumb.With his right hand, he poked the mashed potato ball down, shook it in his hand to make it rounder and firmer, and then threw it directly into the pot.

It didn't take long for the pot to be full of golden potato balls. In order to save money, Zou Kai didn't pour much oil into the pot. After the potato balls in the first pot were fried until they were browned, Zou Kai scooped up the balls before putting in the second pot.

Soon Zou Kai fried two large plates of potato balls, and he went to the living room with a plate in one hand in a good mood.As soon as he walked to the door of the living room, he saw Maier, who hadn't been here for a long time, sitting in the living room, talking to Mrs. Huo Sen, and he seemed a little embarrassed when he saw himself coming.

Zou Kai didn't care about the mental health of minors, so he just greeted casually: "Hey, have you had dinner yet?"

Maier stared at the potato balls in Zou Kai's hand for a few moments, swallowed, and then whispered, "Eat it."

Zou Kai put the plate on the table, went to the kitchen and took out a small plate, took a few from his plate and handed it to Maier: "Eat."

Maier took it over and said in an uncomfortable whisper, "Thank you, thank you."

Zou Kai raised his eyelids to look at him, and asked, "My little friend, what's wrong with you today? Why do you still look like you're about to cry after eating everything for you?"

Maier's face flushed immediately, he stood up and wanted to say something, but halfway through the fight he sat down, lowered his head, picked up a potato ball and started to eat.

The potato balls are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The crispy outer shell is the first to be bitten off, and then the sweet mashed potatoes are eaten inside. The rich sweetness envelops the taste buds.

After eating a potato ball, Maier's originally angry mood slowly calmed down.He thought silently, I shouldn't be angry, I already know what kind of person he is, but I have decided to come to him, so I shouldn't be so angry with his two words that he wants to speak out, he It can be done!

Seeing that Maier hadn't spoken for a long time, Mrs. Huo Sen smiled slightly, ready to help Maier: "Mair just told me..."

"Teach me how to make potatoes delicious!"

Maier closed his eyes, blushed and yelled loudly.
