Lord of Rot

Chapter 126 The Noble Master on the Bite of His Tongue
After finishing arranging matters related to the hydraulic forging hammer, Li Qifen rode back to the castle.

The hot weather made it hard for him to spend a quarter of an hour in the sun.

A glass of ice-cold honey beer, "Gudong Gudong" got a cold stimulation in his throat, and his body cooled down quickly. He can drink cold beer in the hot summer, and his life is not bad.

But when it comes to hot summer days, how can there be no ice cream?
Mr. Barrel has almost relegated to the second line, especially in summer, if his fat body stays in the kitchen for a while, he will probably pass out directly.

Fortunately, he taught a group of apprentices with good grades. Some apprentices went to the tavern to help with work, and most of the rest were in the Porcupine Castle.

They are divided into different types, and some are mainly responsible for baking cakes, bread, tarts, pies and other pastries.

Some need to make some pickled vegetables and cured meat.

Others are in charge of cooking.

Everyone has their own specialized part, and they can go further on a road with more concentration.

When cooking, some apprentices may have poor appearance or bad taste due to immature cooking skills. These things will be placed in the slave labor point exchange area with limited purchases for a limited time, where slaves will be able to spend a large amount of money. Pen centimeters, in exchange for delicacies that only the castle grandfather can eat, improve life.

There are many jobs in the porcupine collar, and the slaves have a lot of work points in their hands. Some young people will pursue delicious food. After all, the work points can't do anything except exchange for food.

Some of them will be allowed to take out the castle and sell it to the common people.

The continuous expansion and work gave the commoners some spare money, so people began to pursue some delicacies, especially the same delicacies that their worshiped lords ate.

They are willing to imitate Li Qi's life, as if there are still people who will discuss what the tea leaves the lord puts in the teacup every day.

Kind of like star power.

At present, Mr. Wine Barrel has not left Porcupine Castle. Li Qi specially arranged for him to be a chef. As long as he goes to the back kitchen from time to time every day, or tastes the food, supervises whether the food is qualified, from a The chef has become a chef with such rights, and he is not serious about food. Mr. Barrel has always been strict in his work.

Li Qi also hopes that other chef apprentices will have the opportunity to show themselves and develop new delicacies.

The wine barrel cooking method is too old, although he has worked hard to follow the changes in the territory, but the cooking method of the Lurea continent has penetrated into his bone marrow, and it is difficult to make a huge breakthrough in the taste of cooking.

In this extremely barren world of the entertainment industry, Li Qi would have a harder time if he couldn't eat fresh food.

In comparison, the young apprentices are different. They will add a lot of creativity. Among them, the one who is more exploratory is the little lame. Well, he is still studying lime, and Li Qi dare not let him continue to do it. For rice, I was lucky to use lime last time, who knows what it will be next time.

Another explorer is Miss Oak Basin.

She will study Li Qi's taste and determine the ratio of sugar and salt. Li Qi appreciates her thoughtfulness very much, and whenever she has an idea, she will think of her first and let her try it.

As an earthling, the intake of sugar and salt is actually much higher than that of Lurea.There is no deeper reason, but simply because people on earth love to eat delicious food, while the porcupine collar is relatively poor, and the price of sugar and salt is very high, so the consumption will be more restrained.

The price of salt and sugar on the earth has been reduced very cheaply.

Even people on earth are pursuing sugar-free, but in Lurea continent, everyone can't eat sugar and salt.

Eating candy will be considered a status symbol, and some places will even be proud of having a bunch of black teeth and decayed teeth. Ordinary people are not entitled to tooth decay because of eating sugar.

After hearing Li Qi's idea of ​​making ice cream, Ms. Oak Basin first expressed her doubts. Regarding the doubts about some manufacturing steps, she might simply want to have a chat with the lord.

She quietly raised her head to look at the handsome face of the lord, her cheeks were slightly hot.

Maybe it's the weather, she thought.

"As long as the egg yolk is mixed with sugar and stirred, you know how to send it. Well, I said it before, and then find another pot and slowly boil the milk over a low heat. After the milk cools down, mix it with the egg yolk and stir It should turn into a sticky state, then add sugar, ice cream needs sweetness, put these stirred things into the ice cellar, bury it with ice cubes, remember to cover it, to avoid ice slag, because The texture of the ice cream is creamy, and after a while it turns into the ice cream I need."

"Maybe you can try to develop other flavors. Some fruits should taste good."

The oak basin seemed to have no sound, she regained her senses and boldly looked into Li Qi's eyes, and found that he was looking at her with a smile.

Swish!
Her cheeks suddenly turned red.

His dazed appearance just now must have been discovered by the lord.

Li Qi asked very patiently: "Didn't you hear clearly? I know, it's a bit hard to remember. Let me say it again."

Be absolutely friendly with the chef, because you never know what the chef is doing to your dish in the kitchen.

Miss Oakpot listened again with her slightly flushed cheeks.

Although she had completely memorized it, she did not refuse the lord's thoughtful retelling. Seeing the lord drinking beer dryly, she apologized slightly in her heart, but felt very happy. After all, it was the lord who taught him patiently. Own.

In fact, this method of making oak basins has also been thought about before. When she looked at the ice cubes in the cool ice cellar, the idea of ​​making ice-related delicacies came to her mind.

"Understand?" Li Qi asked again.

The oak tub immediately replied: "Yes, my lord."

"I'm looking forward to your success," Li Qi said.

Miss Oak Tub returned to the kitchen, and she followed Li Qi's ideas strictly. In fact, this process was not complicated. After only a while, the oak tub came out of the ice cellar in a cold wooden barrel wrapped in cloth.

It's so cold in there!

But looking at the ice cream in the barrel, she knew she had succeeded.

"Good job!" Li Qi praised.

The ice cream system is very fast. It took half an afternoon from when Li Qi came up with the idea and told Miss Oak Tub how to make it.

The sun had not yet set from the direction of Pig's Ridge Valley, and was hanging high in the sky.

The first ice cream in another world!

Li Qi scooped out a ball of ice cream with a spoon and put it in the cup.

The spoon scooped up a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

“The taste of milk is very rich, a bit like eating small pudding”

He said to the oak basin beside him, "Take these and let everyone in the castle taste them."

"Yes!" The oak basin nodded quickly.

She left with a small cold wooden bucket. The castle was still shady, but the ice cream still showed signs of melting.

The servants and maids gathered together after learning that there was something delicious to eat.

"What's this?" asked Duckflipper.

As soon as he got close, he felt a chill.

The "ice cream" oak tub said: "The delicacy invented by the adults is ice cold."

"It must be very delicious!" Miss Wine Glass couldn't wait.

The little apprentices in the kitchen also watched eagerly.

There wasn't much ice cream in the barrel, and each person could only share one scoop, which was about one-third the size of an ice cream ball, but no one was dissatisfied.

The wine glass sighed: "Four gods, I actually ate ice in summer!"

The servants nodded repeatedly.

Especially the maid with small eyes. The only maid who was selected into the castle with her is Akeke, but Akeke can control insects with magic, which is valued by the lord, but she doesn't have much chance to eat the leftovers of the castle. Fortunately, there is enough milk here. , She can drink hard, she feels that her chest is starting to become heavy, and her clothes are a little tight.

The delicious ice cream dispelled the heat, but it was a pity that everyone only had a little bit, and they ate it carefully, feeling the sweetness.

They also knew very well that it was the lord's kindness to be able to eat this little ice cream as servants. Except for the nobles with large ice cellars, most nobles had never seen ice at all in summer.

"What's wrong?" The wine glass found something wrong with the expression of the oak basin.

The oak basin hung its head: "It doesn't taste right."

"No? No, I've never eaten such a delicious dessert!"

"No." Oak Tub shook his head: "My lord doesn't like to eat too sweet things. His requirement for desserts is that they should not be sweet."

This is what she only found out after she made some desserts and asked the valet after the leftovers were removed.

She has conducted in-depth research on Li Qi's taste.

Only "non-sweet" desserts, the lord will eat more.

"Not sweet" is the evaluation of the lord, and the oak basin understands it as slightly sweet, which needs to be just right, which is much more difficult than pure sweetness.

On the contrary, the lord would hardly eat those sweet desserts, and only those who were addicted to sweetness, such as wine glasses, would be ecstatic about those desserts.

"Not sweet? Isn't the dessert sweet?" The wine glass said that it was completely incomprehensible. She felt that the dessert had to be very sweet to be enjoyable to eat.

Maybe this is the exquisiteness of the nobleman's tongue.

"No wonder the adults only ate a spoonful." The oak basin was hit hard, but she felt that making ice cream was too simple.

"And what I made is not very good, there are a lot of ice scum." She carefully reviewed: "My lord said that ice cream should be something soft and melt in the mouth."

What she made was a bit hard, which affected the taste.

The wine glass asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Continue to make ice cream! We will definitely find a solution!" The oak tub clenched its fists.

The kitchen is her battlefield...

For dinner, Glenn, the oldest among them, likes to eat some salad, and he has no appetite in the hot weather.

Quick Blade kept training. After he learned that the lord had declared war on Wodu Eighteen, he was training every day. He was bound to cut off the opponent's head, so he needed to eat a lot of meat and drink beer.

Here I have to mention Li Qi's preferential treatment for his own people, because the existence of the "grass of life" guarantees a very high litter size and survival rate of livestock, which leads to the healthy development of porcupine-collared livestock, and the occasional disease load is not It will spread in large quantities, and the soldiers in training can eat oily food every meal, and they are all energetic.

Joe's eating habits are similar to Li Qi's, eating some meat, vegetable salad, beer, etc.

When the meal was finished, the footman brought four cups with various colored balls in them.

"What is this?" Quick Blade was puzzled.

"Miss Oak Basin's latest work," Li Qi introduced: "Ice cream."

"Ice?" Grant felt the chill from the cup.

"That's right." Li Qi nodded: "She used some fruit juice to make ice cream of various flavors, try it, you will fall in love with ice cream."

Quickblade is always the fastest one, which has something to do with his impatience.

He spooned a whole scoop of ice cream into his mouth.

"Hmm!" Quick Blade dropped the spoon abruptly, holding his head in his hands, and screamed in pain.

"What's wrong!"

"Master Quick Blade, are you alright!"

Joe and Grant looked at Quick Blade worriedly, then put down the spoon in fear, not daring to try again.

What kind of delicacy is this? It's obviously highly poisonous. Didn't you see that Mr. Quick Blade couldn't bear the pain?
Li Qi said helplessly: "Uncle Quick Blade, don't gobble up the ice cream, but take small bites, otherwise you will have a irritating headache."

Why did he forget to warn him about this? He still remembered that when he was a child on Earth, he would get pain in the head from ice when he ate ice cream.

After a while, Quick Blade let go of his hand: "My head is going to be frozen!"

He smacked his mouth and pondered: "However, the taste seems to be pretty good."

Li Qi looked at the hesitant Joe and Gren, and reluctantly picked up the spoon, and took a bite himself first, proving that this was really edible.

The taste was more suitable than before, with a faint sweet and sour taste, and the oak tub successfully grabbed the tip of his tongue again.

Seeing that their lords had eaten it all, Joe and Gren dubiously spooned a small spoon into their mouths, and then their eyes lit up.

It's not how delicious the ice cream is, but the value of being able to eat this kind of sweet and icy food in the hot summer is irreplaceable.

"My lord, I swear, I'm in love with ice cream!"

"Haha, me too." Quick Blade picked up the cup, but this time he only scooped up a small spoonful and put it into his mouth: "It's just that I can't take a big bite, it's really unpleasant!"
