Ordinary days in another world

Chapter 41

In the early morning, Ares was going to hunt again. In addition to their own food, there was also a hunting team from the tribe to join every two days. The big tiger showed Jiang Xia the wound, and it was almost healed. Jiang Xia had no choice but to let it go. .

Staying at home alone, Jiang Xia thought about her fishing net again, it has not been tested yet, it has been there for several days, and after Ares's mother-in-law came to visit her, they have not returned together At the home of Ares' parents.Thinking of what the patriarch said to her in person that day, Jiang Xia felt ashamed. No matter what happened in the past, since they were already a family, the big tiger had an indifferent attitude, but as a daughter-in-law, she should work hard to make the family harmonious.

Jiang Xia took an inventory of the food at home, thought for a while, took out five or six large sweet potatoes, washed them, put them into a small clay pot, and then put the small pots into the big pot filled with water to cook the sweet potatoes. This way, even if there is no steamer, it should be possible to steam the sweet potatoes, and at the same time ensure that the sugar in the sweet potatoes can be completely preserved, so that even if there is no sugar, the taste should not be much worse, at least it has the sweetness of sweet potatoes.

Jiang Xia took out the steamed sweet potatoes, peeled them, mixed in a few handfuls of potato fruit powder, and some boiling water, and kneaded them quickly like kneading dough. The potato fruits added to the consistency, and quickly kneaded a large piece of smooth golden sweet potato dough. , and then pulled them into small balls, kneaded them into round balls and flattened them, they would make them look appetizing, and if they were fried again... Jiang Xia couldn't help but want to drool.

After frying meat with oil for the first time, Jiang Xia prepared to refine the oil for cooking.They chose several animal fats for experimentation, and finally chose the fat of Yuanlu. Firstly, Yuanlu is their usual source of food. Secondly, Yuanlu fat is purer and more fragrant than other animal fats.Jiang Xia accidentally discovered that after washing her hands, applying a little on the back of her hands can keep them moisturized and delicate for a long time. It's really hard to like it or not.

Later, as long as there is a round deer in the house, Jiang Xia will take off the fat, refine the mature oil, put it in a jar, and scoop it out directly for use when cooking next time.

Frying sweet potato cakes requires more oil than frying meat. If there is less oil, the pancakes will not be cooked through, and the taste will be compromised. If there is a pan with a pointed bottom, Jiang Xia can directly fry sweet potato cakes.But now it can only be half-fried and half-fried. If so, all the sweet potato cakes are fried, and more than half of Jiang Xia's cooked oil has been used. It seems that the oil needs to be refined again.

However, the finished product looks pretty good. Jiang Xia couldn't help but taste a piece. It was refreshing and chewy, with a touch of sweet potato, and even females would like it. Put the next ones in pottery bowls and send them to the patriarch's house.

Based on the memory of last time, I came to the patriarch's house. The patriarch was not at home. Thinking about it, the tribe was at a critical juncture and was much busier than usual. In order to save Ares' parents from cooking their meals, Jiang Xia sent the food in advance When I arrived, I just made up my mind to deliver the things and sit for a while before going home.

As soon as he approached the door of the patriarch's house, he heard the buzzing of a group of people talking, and after walking two steps, he saw clearly that many females were gathering together to chat. Jiang Xia was thinking about whether to come back later, but it was too late.

Viam's father who found her called her, "Xia Xia, is that you? Come in quickly when you come, don't stand around stupidly." He said while introducing to the female beside him, "This is my son's partner Charlotte Dee, she found the sweet potato you just mentioned." She looked very happy, although everyone knew the person who discovered the sweet potato, but the patriarch's wife opened her mouth, and naturally some people cheered, and a middle-aged female directly praised "Your family Son is a well-chosen partner, and he has good luck as soon as he enters the house. I heard that the previous tent was also thought of by Charlotte." After finishing speaking, he got up and walked around Jiang Xia in a serious manner, "It looks like a good birth Yes, you just wait to hold your grandson."

Viam's father was already grinning from ear to ear. Jiang Xia made him look good in front of all the females. Now the more he sees himself as a "daughter-in-law", the more he likes him. Even when he heard the bad rumors about Charlotte, his son The slight awkwardness of finding her as a partner disappeared, and the eyes looking at Jiang Xia were full of pride.

Jiang Xia is very clear about what this look means. Ai Wenmu's father also has this expression when he mentions her to others. Jiang Xia is very happy to be loved by her mother-in-law as if she was her own.Appropriately applauding her mother-in-law is more conducive to family unity and harmony. Of course, Jiang Xia doesn't mind Caiyi entertaining her relatives, "Father, this is a new food I made from sweet potatoes. I'll bring you some to try." Many people noticed the sweet potato pancake in the earthenware bowl she was holding. Instead of arousing curiosity, it is better to show it openly, and Viam's father will only receive more envy today.

"You little cleverness, the broth you cooked last time is better than the rice we have been cooking for 20 years. What new ideas do you have this time?" The younger generation knows filial piety, especially when outsiders are present. Ya felt that the partner his son was looking for was not at all timid and cowardly as rumored before, and he could still think of it in his heart.

"This sweet potato cake is also fried in deer oil, and it's still hot. Father Mu, try it. I think the taste is more suitable for us females."

Via took a sweet potato cake that looked delicious, and her eyes lit up as soon as she took a bite.The outside is charred and the inside is waxy, and the sweet potato is slightly sweet. I can't help but eat the whole thing, only to look up to find that the people on the side are still staring at me curiously. "Ahem, it's so delicious, I can't help it," Seeing Jiang Xia looking at him with a smile on his face, Wei Wei gave full play to his patriarch's "Madam" communication skills, "You are here today, such delicious food That is to say, our Charlotte is generous, just to give you a taste of what is called delicious."

Jiang Xia still kept smiling, admiring in her heart, Viam's father was so eloquent, he not only became a good person, but also praised himself by the way.Who said that the ancients had no wisdom, this is the way to get along with people.

Each of the seven or eight females got one, and Via didn't want to take too much, and he wanted to taste the remaining ten or so, because the one just now didn't taste enough.And his partner especially likes to eat sweets, so they just share the food.Via looked at Jiang Xia, who was still calm and generous, with mixed feelings. With her around, the relationship between the father and son would become more and more harmonious.

Sure enough, the female was very enthusiastic about delicious food, and was busy asking Jiang Xia how to make it as soon as she tasted it.Of course, the older female is more considerate, she only praised Jiang Xia, and then asked Via, "Via, this little female of yours is really good, our good friend for more than ten years, can you let Charlotte hide her?" Private." "That's right, that's right, when my little orc can find a dexterous partner like Charlotte, I'll be so happy."...

"Xia Xia, look..."

Without waiting for Viam's father to speak, Jiang Xia nodded directly, "The elders like to eat. I must say that they are all from Zailin's tribe. There can't be only one family that eats well. Ares and I have always wanted to do more for the tribe. Do something, so I have a new idea and I don’t want to hide it. This sweet potato cake is more complicated to make. I just bought it for my father to taste. I will tell you the steps. If everyone thinks it is delicious, you can go home Take your time."

Not only did it reflect her and Ares' sincerity towards the clan, but also their humble attitude, Via nodded again and again.

When it comes to making sweet potato pancakes, we also need to mention the refining of deer oil, why steamed ones are more delicious, and how do you know that adding potato fruit has a stronger taste? Jiang Xia can feel everyone's desire for knowledge, and the more she talks , almost even told how sweet potatoes are grown, and when the elders fully understood it with satisfaction, Jiang Xia's mouth was already parched.

The food cooking method proposed by Jiang Xia is really a completely different change from the traditional food method in the orc tribe. To this extent, even those females who praise Jiang Xia but don't think so in their hearts are completely convinced.The respectful attitude in the words is obvious.

Jiang Xia had some calculations in her heart, seeing that everyone's attitudes were about the same, she said carefully, "Father Mu, I actually have another idea to discuss with you today, and it happens that there are so many elders here, so I will be more confident."

As soon as they heard that Charlotte had a follow-up, all the females quieted down and looked at her very seriously, making Jiang Xia almost speechless.

"My child, you can tell me anything. If there is anything you don't understand, we are the ones." Via is in a good mood today, with a gentle attitude. If Ares, the son who knows his mother very well, is watching this scene His jaw will definitely drop, his father-in-law is a very strong female, when did he become so amiable? !
"About the fish in the East River, if we can catch them, won't we have more to eat in winter?" Jiang Xia came here for her newly improved fishing net.However, unlike what she imagined, the females were more likely to disagree with the suggestion.

"Charlotte, your idea is very good, but the fish in the East River are not easy to catch. Telling the orcs to give up hunting for prey to catch fish will only do harm to the tribe, and will not do any good." This is a brown-haired What the female said.

"Furthermore, the fish is not tasty at all. It is easy to burn when roasted, and the soup smells strong. Sometimes it is bitter and thorny. Only when there is nothing to eat, the tribe will take the idea of ​​​​the fish in the East River." This female was still complimenting her on the delicious sweet potato pancakes just now.

Viam's father stopped talking. In his opinion, Jiang Xia's proposal was too frivolous and not beneficial at all.

Jiang Xia was not in a hurry, and waited for everyone to finish their sentences before she said slowly, "The caught fish can be marinated in the same way as marinated meat." Without waiting for the female on the side to object, she continued, "After the fish is marinated, The fish bones are soft, the soup tastes good, and you can eat different food in winter.”

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia made full use of her eloquence when she was in sales before, and she was confident and sharp, "As for the fishy smell and bitterness, I can guarantee that the fish will not be very fishy or bitter. "

Everyone has seen Jiang Xia's craftsmanship, and they believe her words half to eighty percent. After all, they all hope to prepare more food in winter, so that they can survive with more confidence.

"Xiaxia, maybe what you said is right, and you can make delicious fish, but the orcs in the tribe have been hunting very hard, and they have to send people to explore the way to the cave, and they need to strengthen the tribe before winter. As females, we can’t make males work harder, so I can only talk about this idea here, and you have to understand it in your heart.”

Ares was worried yesterday that there would be a change in the tribe before winter, did the orcs go to investigate today?Jiang Xia smiled, "Father Mu, that's why I'm here. Of course I know that the males work hard, and it's because I know their hard work that I think about catching fish. We females do it ourselves."

We all know that to catch fish you have to go down to the river, not only you have to swim fast, but you also have to be good at it. It’s no wonder that females can catch fish on the bank.

"I asked Ares to help us weave a fishing net in my free time before," Jiang Xia said while gesticulating, "As long as females stand in shallow water and cast nets, the possibility of catching fish is very high, and we also Can cast bait."

Jiang Xia analyzed her thoughts to everyone. Via's eyes became brighter and brighter. Apart from gathering, females can't do hunting. Even handling prey is done by males. , Jiang Xia's statement sounds very likely to catch the fish, and then pickle it with the method she said, then in winter, at least the males will not have to spend more effort to fill the female's belly, it makes people feel Excited, he made a decision immediately, "Okay, all of us will go to your house in the afternoon to see that fishing net. If you can really catch fish, you are a member of the clan..."

Viam's father didn't finish his sentence, and suddenly looked at the door.

Jiang Xia subconsciously turned her head, Big Tiger stood at the door with a dark face, looking at her through the crowd. "Ah, I forgot the time. It's noon. Ares must have found her when I went home and didn't see her."

"Father Mu, I'll go back first, come to my house in the afternoon and talk about it..." Jiang Xia ran towards Ares, the big black-faced tiger really made people feel guilty.

When Via saw her son coming to pick her up, she felt that the young couple couldn't do without each other, and greeted everyone with a smile, "Young people really can't do without each other. I haven't seen you for a long time, so I hurried to look for it. My family Xia Xia said Let's try this out by ourselves in the afternoon, and you can't tell me anything before it's done..."
