Chapter 125 Teaching Everyone to Cook
Early the next morning, Ivy led the females of the tribe and followed the main group to the Beast Forest again.
This time there were several more large groups of people from the tribes. When these females saw Ivy coming out, they followed her excitedly, wanting to ask some questions but not daring to.
"Do you have anything to say? Just say it directly." Ivy turned her head and asked curiously.
These females didn't expect Ivy to be so easy to talk to. When she asked, one of the brave females immediately asked: "Madam, are those vegetables really edible?
We have eaten it before, but it was not tasty and a bit bitter. "
"Yeah, and the white one with green leaves is really spicy!"
"Is this it?" Ivy asked, pointing at the wild onions on the roadside.
"correct."
“It is indeed spicy if eaten directly, but you can stir-fry it. I will teach you about plants.
This is wild onion, pick it up when you see it, and I’ll teach you how to cook it when I get back.” Ai Wei said, and pointed at the spring bamboo shoots in the distance, “This is spring bamboo shoots, you can eat it too.”
"This is broccoli, which is good for beautifying your skin. This is lettuce and can be eaten raw. This is coriander, which is a seasoning." Ivy explained one by one.
They encountered some fruits on the way, and Ivy described them all.
These females looked at Ivy's expression and immediately became respectful: "Madam, how do you know everything?"
Seabuckthorn on a big tree in the distance has been paying attention to everything Ivy does. Listening to her explanation, his face is full of surprise. He also recognizes some of the plants.
But not as many as Ivy knew.
He was also very curious about why Ivy knew so much.
“My mother taught me all of these, and some of them were because my father was blind and I was very thin at that time.
I was left out in the tribe and there wasn't enough meat, so I had to find ways to eat other things.
I looked at the vegetables, the long-eared rabbits, and the giant cows and saw that they were all fine, so I thought that we orcs would surely be able to eat them too.
But it really wasn't tasty, a bit bitter, so I thought that if the meat was cooked, the fishy smell would be much less, and if the vegetables were cooked, they would not be bitter.
I slowly tried it, and then I figured out a lot of ways to eat vegetables.”
Ivy's words were so sincere that the young females had tears in their eyes.
Madam was so pitiful before.
The sea buckthorn on the big tree also looked at Ivy with heartache, blaming itself for not meeting Ivy earlier.
"Madam is so pitiful!" Lu Cheng couldn't help but say.
Seabuckthorn looked at Ivy silently and vowed that he would never let Ivy go hungry again.
"Everyone speed up and collect more food. I will show you how to make it in the afternoon." Ivy said with a smile.
When the females heard this, they became very motivated and quickly dug up vegetables in the forest with the animal bones.
They were busy until almost noon, and Ivy finally went back with the females.
Because of the limited space in the castle, Ivy asked some females in the tribe who were good at cooking to go to various tribes and teach them how to cook.
The tiger leader was a good person, and Ivy wanted to make friends with him, so she let the females of the tiger tribe stay in the castle.
She taught it herself.
Along with the chopping board, a sharp kitchen knife was taken out.
The females looked confused, but Ivy had already rolled up her sleeves and started preparing the broccoli.
“This is broccoli. It tastes good if you simply blanch it and season it. Of course, it tastes even better if you stir-fry it.
But everyone's taste may be different when they are fried. Some people like the green one, while others like the white one."
Ivy quickly broke the cauliflower apart and added oil to the hot pan: "This is animal oil, refined from pork.
I will teach you how to refine oil later. These dishes need to be stir-fried to bring out the aroma.”
Ivy heated the pan, poured in the hot oil and quickly added the green onions to stir-fry until fragrant. Then she poured in the cauliflower and simply added salt and light soy sauce to season.
"We will sell these seasonings in our castle later. Anyone who wants can come and buy them." Ivy said.
The cauliflower was stir-fried several times in the pan, and the fragrance gradually wafted out.
Ivy quickly served the dish to Loris, and gave each of the females a pair of chopsticks. Then they began to taste the cauliflower one by one.
“It’s delicious and not bitter anymore.”
“Yes, it’s delicious.”
Especially the sauce on the cauliflower makes it taste even better.
The next step was stir-fried cuckoo chicken. As Ivy put the chili peppers into the pot, everyone was choked to tears.
But as the fragrance became stronger and stronger, the females widened their eyes and said, "It smells so good."
"This is stir-fried cuckoo chicken, try it." Ivy put it on the plate.
These females instantly lost interest in learning and started scrambling to eat the aunt's muscles. The fresh, spicy taste in their mouths made people drool.
Although it’s spicy, the spicier it is, the more I want to eat it.
"delicious."
"After you finish eating, continue to learn how to cook from me. This time, you can all follow along and do it together." Ivy said as she knocked on the stone pot with a spatula.
The females who were originally eating with relish became very excited when they heard that they had to do it themselves.
They all found their seats and watched Ivy's movements carefully.
As the hot oil was put into the pan, the chopped green onions started to fry immediately. Many females cried out in pain: "This hot oil will bite me, it hurts."
Ivy almost couldn't hold back her laughter, these females were so cute.
"It's not the oil that bites you, it's the oil that will splash when it touches water, so it's best to control the moisture when cooking. Especially when the oil is very hot and there is a lot of water, you cannot add water to it, otherwise it will explode." Ivy said.
The females nodded one after another and began to slowly try to cook according to the method Ivy had just taught them.
"Stir-frying is actually very simple. Heat the oil and add seasonings to cook out the flavor, then add the vegetables. If you have meat, put the meat in first and stir-fry it until it's almost done. Then add the vegetables based on the cooking time of the vegetables." Ivy said as she walked up to the females and gave them instructions one by one.
So in the next few days, every tribe could hear the sound of hot oil frying and some hot smoke coming out of the yard.
The cuckoo chickens raised in the tribe also produced a lot of eggs, and spring was the best time to hatch chicks.
Ivy used the system to select the successfully fertilized cuckoo eggs and brought all of them into the house.
Wrap all the cuckoo eggs with animal skins.
"Annan, come and use the fire element to warm the cuckoo eggs." Ivy called Anan and put a thermometer in the cuckoo chicken.
"The temperature must be kept between 38 and 39 degrees and cannot exceed this temperature." Ivy reminded.
Annan nodded, carefully controlling the fire ability in his hand and rushing it towards the animal skin on the bed.
"Mom, can you really hatch little cuckoo chickens like this?" Fengxue asked curiously.
An Yin and Luo Lisi standing by also looked curious.
“It should work if we give it a try.” Ivy was afraid that these cuckoo chickens might be born wild, so she watched from the side and input her healing abilities to soothe the breath of life inside the eggs.
Ivy thought that the cuckoo eggs would take a long time to hatch, but she didn't expect that Annan's surprised voice would come from the room early the next morning.
"Mom, there are little cuckoo chickens coming out."
