Aze helped Chen Qi, and Carlo was sent by Chen Qi to cut other potatoes into pieces. Ake separated a few burning firewood from the previous big fire, and re-lit a small fire. Chen Qi Put a few pig bones that Aze broke off in a pottery pot for boiling soup, fill it with water and put it on a small fire to boil the bone soup first. After Ake finished the fire, he wanted to go over to take over Carlo's job, but Chen Qi ordered him to wash his hands before touching the potatoes. It's a joke, if you touch the food to be cooked without washing your hands that have just touched the firewood, is it still worth eating? Carlo stuck out his tongue at Ake mischievously, as if he didn't see it.
Naturally, a spatula is needed to start cooking. At present, there are only two pairs of chopsticks made of acacia branches at home. Among them, A Ze’s pair is specially sharpened. Although Chen Qi taught him how to use chopsticks, A Ze is not very proficient. , Every time I pick up something, I have to drop it several times, and I still grab it with my hands when I eat barbecue. There is no way, Chen Qi can only sharpen one end of the chopsticks, so that at least Aze can eat with a fork when eating stewed meat.
However, the dishes that Chen Qi was going to cook were relatively large, so it was obviously inconvenient to use chopsticks as spatulas. From a pile of firewood, I chose a piece of wood that I didn't know what kind of wood it was. The wood had a solid texture, and I drew a general shape of a spatula on the ground with cooled charcoal for Aze, and pointed it out to Aze. A Ze Nong can cut it much faster than Chen Qi himself with a sword corner knife.
Ake cuts meat very quickly. By the time Carlo finishes the potatoes, Ake has already cut two large pots of meat. If Chen Qi hadn't found out, he might have cut off the whole warthog. .
The salt that was refined before was used a lot when marinating the meat yesterday, and now the rest is just enough for this meal. Chen Qi took advantage of the gap between A Ze's spatula and put the potatoes and meat on a clay plate, Add ginger slices and the last few perilla leaves, mix them with salt and put them on the fire to simmer. Because there is no lid, Chen Qi directly asked Ake to split a piece of wood with a very light taste. There is still a little fragrance, and it is covered on the pottery dish of the stew, so that the meat will not be stained with any strange taste due to the wood.
Chen Qi didn't let them take over the pig heart and pig kidney. Instead, he took out the sword corner knife and sliced it himself. Although the shape was not very regular, the thinning effect was achieved. Later, it was discovered that Ake was better at this kind of meticulous work, so he asked Ake to cut a plate of meat slices according to his appearance. Not to mention, it was more regular than Chen Qi's, with even thickness and much better appearance. Chen Qi comforted himself that the taste of something like food is king when it is eaten into the mouth, and the appearance is almost enough.
At this time, Aze's spatula was also finished, and he also peeled off two pairs of chopsticks that were exactly the same as the ones he used, and cleaned them with figs. Although the shape of the spatula was a bit awkward, at least it still looked good. Chen Qi shook it in his hand with satisfaction, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to cook.
The shredded potatoes are divided into three parts, which are used for stir-fried pork heart and fried pork kidney. Chen Qixian took a pottery pan and fried the fat of the warthog to make oil. The fat of the wild boar is not much, so Chen Qi could only use it sparingly. Fortunately, these orcs were eating stir-fried vegetables for the first time, and Chen Qi didn't intend to Make too much, if they are not used to eating this thing, it is not a waste.
There are really a lot of pottery dishes in Aze's house, there are more than a dozen in this room alone, not counting the room in the back that is full of sundries, so Chen Qi is almost exchanging a dish for a pottery pot.
The three orcs were like three curious spectators watching a performance, they sat around in unison, staring at Chen Qi's movements for a while, and for a while they stared at the dishes being stir-fried in the pottery dish. Sitting next to Chen Qi, Aze would occasionally pass materials to Chen Qi.
Chen Qi seemed to have remembered something, and said to Aze on the side: "Go and chop a bamboo and come back. The place we passed by last night has it. Just choose one that is not too thick and has many knots."
"Do you want bamboo? Let Ake and I go. We can't understand the dishes you cook, so we can only sit on the sidelines and ask my brother to stay and help you." Carlo suggested, and he has been thinking about it since just now He found that his brother's expression was a little unnatural, and his eyes always fell on Chen Qi from time to time. He needed to ask Ake what happened, since he was fine when he just came back.
"Well, that's fine, then be careful."
Carlo winked at Aze before pulling Ake away.
Chen Qixian poured the pottery dish containing shredded potatoes into clean water to clean it, put a little fried lard in the pottery pot used as a frying pan, and put the meat slices in, because there was really a lack of seasoning, and after the meat slices started to change color, Just put the shredded potatoes in, add salt and stir-fry when it's almost ready, and a simple potato fried pork slice is finished. In fact, it should not be called fried pork slices with potatoes, but fried potatoes with sliced meat, because there are too many slices of meat, and the potatoes are more like being used for decoration. A large plate looks almost full of meat.
The other two fried pork hearts with potatoes and pork kidneys with potatoes seemed to be okay because of the small quantity. Chen Qi was afraid that the internal organs would smell, so he added two slices of ginger to remove the smell.
The two of Carlo and Carlo came back after finishing these potato dishes. Chen Qi instructed them how to cut the bamboo into the desired shape. In fact, they cut it according to the length of the bamboo joints. The bamboo is very long. I got four of them, and I had no bowls but bamboo tubes to use as bowls. I couldn't return four people to drink soup with a burnt milk fruit husk.
After finishing the bamboo tube, Chen Qi continued to work by the fire. Dandelion only made a small handful, and Chen Qi divided it into two parts, one for stir-fried meat, and the other for stir-fry with pork heart and kidney.
After a few dishes are finished, move them to the animal skin blanket that Aze has already laid beside him. There are eight large pottery dishes, seven dishes and one soup, two of which are potato stew. Spectacular. There was a warthog leg left, which I planned to roast for these orcs when they were not used to it.
Chen Qi handed the bamboo tube containing the soup to several people, Carlo couldn't wait to reach out and grab the vegetables to taste the taste, Aze patted the other party's outstretched claws with chopsticks.
Carlo looked at Aze resentfully, and withdrew his hand, "Brother, what are you doing, isn't this dish ready?"
"Use chopsticks." Aze replied blankly.
Chen Qi smiled, and handed the two pairs of special chopsticks to Carlo and Carlo. Carlo looked up and down the two sticks, "How do you use these things?"
"Let me demonstrate to you. You look at me and hold it like this." Chen Qi easily picked up a piece of meat and put it into his mouth. Maybe it's because he hasn't eaten fried pork slices for a long time, even if there is only salt as a condiment , Chen Qi actually found it surprisingly delicious.
Carlo imitated Chen Qi's movements, and stretched his chopsticks into the potato stew in front of him. He didn't pick up the meat after several times. There was a puddle of oil on it. Carlo stared angrily at the two wooden sticks in his hand, stretched out his paws, picked up the piece of meat that fell on his body, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed fiercely, hey, the taste of this meat is very different from that of barbecue, and it also Not bland like meat in broth. The expression that was still angry instantly stretched out, and he directly picked up a chopstick, without having to pinch it, directly forked a large piece of meat, and handed it to Ake's mouth with sparkling eyes, "Ake, try it!" , it’s not like barbecue at all, it’s delicious.”
Ake swallowed the meat on the chopsticks with Carlo's hand, chewed it for a while, it tasted really good, and praised: "I didn't expect that there is such a way for meat."
Chen Qi smiled awkwardly. This is the simplest method for him. In fact, the craftsmanship is not good. It can only be said that it is not bad. These orcs probably have long been bored with the taste of barbecue after eating barbecue every day. Only when you eat meat with other flavors at once will you feel that it tastes good, "Just as long as you like it."
Ake doesn't eat meat with a chopstick like Carlo, but learns how to hold it like Chen Qi. Although he failed a few times, he didn't expect to get better and better later, but he was the first to learn it more skillfully. Instead of using chopsticks, Chen Qi was surprised, "You're a quick learner."
"Of course, my Ake is very powerful." Carlo puffed out his chest, as if Chen Qi was boasting about him.
Aze glanced at Ake lightly, and moved the potato stew in front of him to Chen Qi. He had tasted all of them just now, and he still felt that the potato stew tasted the best. After moving, he no longer ate the meat with a fork, but changed it to a sandwich, but it still only succeeded once after dropping it several times. As a result, Ake and Ke ate a lot, and Aze ate a little bit, but he still didn't change his chopsticks holding posture.
Chen Qi looked helplessly at A Ze who was still calm, put the sliced meat on a cattail leaf, and handed it to the other party, "It will be more convenient to eat like this."
Aze paused, his ears were slightly red, and he whispered softly: "Okay."
The meal was going on in such a harmonious atmosphere. The three orcs were obviously more interested in meat. They ate up all the meat in the dandelion fried pork slices, but dandelion only tasted it and never touched it again. Although I will eat some pig heart and pig kidney, I am obviously not very interested. Potatoes, whether they were potatoes in potato stew or potatoes in fried pork slices, were all swept away by the three of them.
After a meal, the only warthog that Aze hunted back was the pork leg that Chen Qi had planned to keep for roasting, and everything else was cleaned up. Carlo’s belly was bulging, and Ake gave it to him worriedly. He rubbed it, and blamed him not to eat so much next time. Carlo giggled, nestled in Ake's arms like a baby, and didn't know if he had listened to Ake's words.
"Ake, next time I will do the same for you." Carlo leaned close to Ake's ear and whispered.
Ake rubbed his hair, "OK."
