Rise of the blood elves

431【Sweet and sour carp! 】

Old Yak Boots filled another bag of tobacco while keeping an eye on Angmar. "Don't worry, they will let us go after they have investigated clearly."

"But what should we do with the goods? The winter food we bought is still stored in Jinxi Village. The old rocks were smashed like that, so we must not be able to transport the food back," my cousin Xiaoqiang said worriedly.

Old Yak Boots just smoked his pipe and said nothing.In the swirling smoke, every wrinkle on the face of the old land elf was filled with sadness.

"I'm sorry, this is all because of me." Angmar apologized sincerely, and his words came completely from the bottom of his heart.

If they hadn't sought medical treatment for themselves, these kind people wouldn't have fallen to this.Although he knew in his heart that the black-clothed guards were only wary of him and would let them go after a clear investigation, even so, the land spirit suffered immeasurable losses from the two yaks.

The importance of camels to a caravan is self-evident.I am afraid that it will be difficult for them to travel on this trade route for a long time after that.

"Don't blame yourself, Andoma." Lao Li, who was bowing, hurried over and helped Angmar up, leaning on the piled rice bags, while comforting him: "This is all caused by the mantid. It has nothing to do with you. Besides, we sent you here voluntarily, and if we encounter accidents along the way, we shouldn't blame you."

Looking at the panda man's sincere eyes, Angmar didn't know what to say. Feeling the pain of needing help even to get up, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You didn't even know if I was a bad person, so you decided to help me."

"Please believe in the eyesight of a panda, and the wisdom of an old land elf who has traveled around for decades. We can all see that you are not a bad person, Andoma." Old Li raised his eyebrows, and the old yak boots on the side also raised. He raised the cigarette rod in his hand in response.

Infected by the other party, the gloom in Angmar's heart also disappeared. This was the first time in this period that warmth flowed through his heart.This is a kind of kindness that does not want to be repaid, as if healing others, even if the person is a foreigner of unknown origin, is a matter of course.

"gollum"

Lao Li's stomach suddenly growled. His expression froze and he touched his stomach awkwardly, "Uh, I'm hungry."

Hearing what he said, Angmar also found that he was so hungry that he couldn't feel the most urgent needs of his body because he was worried before. But not long ago, he had just eaten more than a dozen pancakes at night.seem

After coma, the body's requirements for energy intake also begin to increase sharply.

The yak felt was rummaged through during the ceremony.

"I've searched for it, and they took away all the food. Maybe they thought there might be some poison or something like that in it," Lao Li said helplessly, "The monk just now seemed to have said that he would bring it to us." of"

Before he finished speaking, a guard in black walked in through the curtain, placed two large trays in front of several people, and then left without saying a word.

In one tray were more than twenty sheets of bread, and in the other tray were several large pots of vegetables, mostly common crops such as carrots and turnips.There are also several small plates of relatively exquisite food, including cold carrots, spicy and sour potato shreds with a sour and spicy aroma, and a small plate of eggplant and fried peppers.

The aroma of food immediately filled the warehouse, and Angmar's hunger caused saliva to secrete rapidly.The land spirits also came over, picked up their chopsticks and prepared to eat.

"Why are they all vegetarian?" Lao Li, who loves meat and dislikes meat, squatted next to the tray and looked at the food from side to side, with sadness written all over his face.

The black-clad guard standing guard at the door completely ignored his protest.

Lao Li looked around, walked to the water tank, and after seeing the carp swimming in it clearly, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he magically took out a bag of condiments that he would carry with him wherever he went, and then looked at his belongings. The complete range of kitchen utensils in the items pointed to the stove in the corner of the warehouse and cast a questioning look at the guard at the door: "Can I borrow your fish and kitchen?"

Two guards in black, look at me and look at you. It seems that no one has explicitly prohibited them from doing this. In the end, neither of them spoke, which was regarded as tacit approval of Lao Li's actions.

Lao Li's face was filled with joy, and he immediately caught two plump carp from the water tank. His skillful movements made people couldn't help but admire him. He clasped the fish's body with his fingernails. No matter how hard the carp struggled, they couldn't escape.

Lao Li took it to the stove and started working.

Seeing Lao Li cooking in person, all the land spirits stopped. It seemed that they had already experienced Lao Li's cooking skills and no longer occupied their stomachs to make room for Lao Li's delicacies.

Angmar was the only one who looked at the bread and vegetables eagerly and kept swallowing his saliva.

These two carps are each half a meter long and may weigh more than ten kilograms.Logically speaking, the optimal weight selection standard for carp dishes is between one and two pounds. If it is too heavy, it means that the carp is too old, the meat will be older, and it will not taste good when cooked.

But this is the Valley of Eternal Blossoms, the site of Titan's ecological experiments. Nourished by the water of life, not only can vegetables grow as big as a house, but the sizes of river fish in the water are also far beyond those of similar species in other areas.

"bang, bang"

Lao Li threw the carp heavily on the stove to prevent the carp from moving during the process. He looked at the inferior kitchen knife on the stove, curled his lips, and turned around to take out a shiny knife from his belongings. The kitchen knife walked back to the stove.

The process of eviscerating the fish, removing its scales, washing it and placing it on a chopping board, making cuts on the fish, rubbing salt and powder on it, and stuffing the cuts with onions, ginger, garlic, and peppercorns into the fish’s belly can be called a masterpiece. Xingyunliushui, although his back was turned to this side, Angmar couldn't see his expression clearly, but he could also imagine that Old Li must be completely different from usual at this time.

Skillfully light the fire and pour the oil until the carp that is about to be put into the pot is completely covered with vegetable oil.It turns out that the Pandaren had mastered the technology of extracting vegetable oil before the War of the Ancients.

But regardless of vegetable oil or animal oil, this process is extremely luxurious for ordinary races who are still struggling for food and clothing, because everyone in the common people regards oil as a treasure, and no one is willing to use so much.But for the pandas, this is nothing to worry about. They have so much food that they can’t finish it all.

While he was busy, water droplets accidentally dripped into the oil pan, and the oil pan suddenly began to crackle. Lao Li put his hand on the oil pan to test the oil temperature. He felt that it was about the same, so he threw two carp in.

"chi la la"

When the carp enters the oil, a bursting smell suddenly fills the air.

"This pot is bigger than the one I have at home, and it saves the time of pouring oil on the fish." Lao Li murmured to himself, lit the fire again, started another pot, poured a little oil, and added the previously chopped chili peppers. Add the segment, green onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant

The warehouse was more fragrant. The two guards in black were obviously uncomfortable, and Angmar's stomach was growling crazily.

I can't believe that this careless panda is actually a chef

After Lao Li was still busy stir-frying, he fished out all the seasonings, then put in the diced tomatoes, crushed them with a frying spoon, put them in again, crushed them again, and finally poured in some water starch to thicken it. Add a few handfuls of sugar and a few spoons of vinegar to make the sweet and sour carp sauce and you're done.

The two carp in the oil pan were also fried to golden brown and crispy. As soon as Lao Li closed the fire door at the bottom of the stove, cutting off oxygen, it was only a matter of time before the flame went out. Anyway, the airtightness was good, and the chimney led to the outside, so the The black smoke did not bother anyone in the warehouse.

He took the carp out and put it on a plate, used a frying spoon to pour the sauce on the back of the fish, and finally sprinkled some scallions on top.

At this point, for the hungry Angmar, the fragrant warehouse has become a paradise on earth.

Lao Li clapped his hands with satisfaction, walked up to him with the sweet and sour carp, picked up his chopsticks, and said loudly: "Be careful with your tongue when you start eating."

As soon as the words fell, the land elves immediately started to move.

Seeing the sweet and sour carp Angama with its delicious color and aroma, Lao Li picked up a piece of fish meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth with a smile.

"This, uh, uh"

"Shhhhhhhhhh"

The hot fish meat dances playfully between the lips and teeth

After sipping the sauce wrapped around the meat, the fish is charred on the outside and tender on the inside. You don’t need to chew it at all and it melts in your mouth.

Just like a lotus blooming in layers, it releases multi-layered three-dimensional aromas one after another, deeply stimulating all of Angmar's taste buds, and explodes. He has been away from Chinese food for more than [-] years, and he has no knowledge of it. The appetite for self-pity while cooking and having to look around in the dark

Angmar could no longer think.

它

So delicious, full of color, aroma and flavor

Angmar had never eaten such delicious food. He suddenly wanted to sigh with emotion. He was actually eating sweet and sour carp cooked by a pandaren chef in a world that was far away from his hometown and spanned many dimensions and planes. I found the taste of my hometown here

After swallowing it while holding back the temperature, he looked at the dinner plate again. Old Li laughed loudly and simply took out a large piece of fish meat and placed it on a piece of pancake, letting Angma take a bite of the sweet and sour carp. A bite of pancake.

After a while, Angmar had eaten less than half a carp and seven or eight pieces of bread. This was because he suppressed his gluttonous desire and wanted to leave more for Lao Li and the land spirits, so he felt full. .

"Hey, do you want to try it?"

Lao Li turned to the guard at the door and said.

The two black-clothed guards looked at each other intently, with very serious expressions on their faces, making it clear that they were committed to their duties.

"gollum"

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

Until the black-clothed guard on the left swallowed uncontrollably. As if in response to him, at the same time, the black-clothed guard on the right's stomach began to growl.The two looked at each other awkwardly, and their tall chests suddenly relaxed. They threw away their weapons and ran straight over. They took the bowls and chopsticks handed over by Lao Li and ate happily. While eating, they praised vaguely:

“Really delicious”
