The sheep head, legs and internal organs were left alone by Lu Xi.
It's not that Lu Xi doesn't know how to do these parts, it's just that he won't have a long break at noon, and whether it's a sheep head or a leg, it's very troublesome to do.
Just leave it until the evening, there is no need to waste time on the road here.
As for the mutton offal, one of Lu Xi's ideas was to make mutton soup, but he had already made mushroom broth before, and making another soup would be a bit repetitive, so Lu Xi decided to leave it until evening.
There are many ways to cook mutton. Lu Xi remembered that Dina said she didn't like the smell of mutton. After thinking about it, he decided to make boiled mutton. This should be the easiest way to get rid of the smell.
"Can you eat spicy food?" Lu Xi asked everyone about their taste before cooking.
"Hot? I can do it!" Dina raised her hand first.
Miguel hesitated slightly, "I may not be good at it, but you can try."
White is full of expectations, "I haven't tasted very spicy food."
Kagli said disdainfully, "It's spicy. Can it be spicy like wine?"
Xiulan glanced at everyone and said, "I probably can't eat spicy food very well, but if everyone eats it, then I should eat it too."
Hailin smiled generously and said, "You can do whatever you want, just think of it as a new experience for us."
Clyde...Clyde was on guard and not participating in the conversation.
"Okay, then I'll make boiled mutton." Lu Xi nodded and quickly determined the next recipe.
"Huh?" Hearing this, Dina opened her eyes curiously, "Boiled mutton? Is it boiled in water? Will it be delicious when boiled in water?"
Lu Xi shook his head. Although it sounded like a very bland name, in fact the taste of this dish was quite strong.
Dina asked curiously, "Then why do you call it boiled mutton?"
Lu Xi was suddenly stopped by this question. She recalled it carefully, but she didn't even remember the origin of the word "boiled". She seemed to have heard the name all the time, but she never delved into the reason.
"Uh, I don't know. I've heard this name since I was a kid, and I never thought about the reason." Lu Xi answered honestly.
The actual cooking method of boiled mutton will use a lot of side dishes, and even the side dishes will take up the majority. In Xiulan's contract package, there are some common vegetables from other worlds - if you only eat meat without vegetables, you will not be able to digest it. People from other worlds also understand the truth. Even if they don't understand it, reality will teach them.
After a brief analysis, Lu Xi recognized vegetables such as cabbage, rapeseed, spinach, chrysanthemum, and cabbage on Earth, as well as some types of vegetables that were completely different from those on Earth and that Lu Xi could not recognize.
After picking out the vegetables whose taste could be confirmed, he handed them to Dina to clean and cut them for later use. Lu Xi then asked Kagli to cut the mutton into slices.
Although Cagli used a heavy axe, his knife skills were surprisingly good. All the meat slices were cut into uniform sizes and appropriate thickness.
After getting kitchen utensils from Hai Lin that she had almost never used, Lu Xi first blanch the meat slices in boiling water for a minute, remove the minced meat and fish it out for later use.
The most important thing about boiled mutton is the rich and spicy soup base. What Lu Xi often eats on Earth is stir-fried with various hot sauces, but there is no such thing as hot sauce in the other world, so Lu Xi has to make it himself. Done.
Although the taste may be a little different, giving this group of people from another world who have never seen the world a try is enough to refresh their outlook.
So, before Lu Xi cooked the boiled mutton, he made a pot of hot sauce. Hot sauce is not as delicious when it is freshly made as it is the kind that gets better and better as time goes by.
And after making hot sauce, you can also use it to eat with other foods later. It will be easier to make more.
There was chili powder in the seasoning box that Xiulan took out, so there must be "chili" in it. However, the shape of this chili is different from the chili peppers on the earth. It has five pointed tips and is curved. At first glance, it looks like chili powder. Like a human hand.
Therefore, people from other worlds also call chili pepper "Devil's Hand". Basically, few people dare to try it, not only because of its spicy taste, but also because its appearance is too scary.
The reason why it is made in the form of chili noodles is because people from other worlds dare not eat it directly.
Xiu Lan actually put a lot of ghost-hand peppers in his contract package. He didn't know why, but it was convenient for Lu Xi.
First, cut all the ghost hand peppers into fine pieces. Put oil in the pot. After the oil is warm, add ginger, garlic, and other spices and stir-fry until the aroma is released. Then pour in the chopped peppers and stir-fry for a few seconds. minutes, then add light soy sauce, oil, salt, monosodium glutamate, sugar, and a little of a bottle of wine from Cagli Collection.
"My wine!" Cagli was heartbroken.
After scooping out most of the chili sauce and setting it aside, Lu Xi turned the heat back on the chili sauce at the bottom of the pot, added the spices and stir-fried. After the aroma came out, he added a large pot of water and boiled it into soup.
Then add salt to taste. According to the nature of the vegetables, put them into the pot and cook them one by one, then take them out and set aside. Then put the previously blanched meat slices back into the pot and cook them all.
Heat the pot again, add oil to cook, put the large pieces of ghost hand chili into the pot and stir-fry, when the oil is hot, pour it directly on the pot of mutton, and cook the mutton together. It's done.
The sizzling hot oil was poured on top of the mutton, and an extremely pungent spicy smell hit their faces. The few people closest to them couldn't help but cover their noses and sneeze. They could hardly breathe properly due to the spicy taste.
Before he could ask Lu Xi what he was cooking, the aroma of meat and vegetables covered by the spiciness gradually came out. There was no saying who was suppressing whom, he could only feel that the spiciness was so perfect. Incorporated into various dishes.
Xiao Yuan has the most sensitive sense of smell, so she ran all the way out early and stayed next to Clyde, looking like she wanted to go back and taste it, but she really couldn't stand the spicy taste.
On the contrary, the young dragon felt much better. He didn't feel the spicy taste at all and looked around the boiled mutton with great interest.
Lu Xi cooked a very large amount this time, but he was afraid that it would not be enough to eat, so he brought a large basin full to it, and each of them took a bowl and a spoon to taste it.
"Sha! Delicious! S-so spicy... delicious!" Dina took one bite and was conquered by the aroma. The smooth and tender mutton entered her mouth, and she could not taste the smell of mutton that she hated most, or even a little bit of fishy smell. Can't eat it either.
It was so spicy that her lips hurt, but the mutton was so delicious that she wanted to swallow it all, which made her feel painful and happy at the same time.
"Ha! So happy!" Kagli ate the wine and the meat with great enthusiasm. A layer of sweat quickly gathered on his forehead, but he didn't mind at all and continued to eat with big mouthfuls.
Just now, Lu Xi only used a very small amount of the wine, leaving more than half of it. Now he left it to Kagli to drink the food.
Cagli bought this bottle of wine before and forgot what it was about. He was in a hurry to leave to do errands and didn't have time to drink it, so he asked Xiulan to help collect it. Then he forgot about it when he turned around.
It was when Lu Xi asked who had wine that Xiu Lan remembered that there was a bottle of Kagli's wine in his contract package.
Hailin was a little tempted by Cagli's wine, but she also knew what she would look like after drinking. She would also be responsible for investigation on the way, so she moved her eyes away resolutely and placed it on the boiled mutton in front of her.
Maybe it was because the Dishi Sheep ate too much, so Hailin was actually more interested in the side dishes. Each side dish had a unique taste. Lu Xi added eight kinds of side dishes to it. Just eat the side dishes. , it’s such an amazing food, Hailin couldn’t help but marvel at Miss Lucy’s culinary talent.
Dina suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "Miguel, don't you think it's spicy at all?"
Everyone was attracted by the sound and looked at Miguel, who had an expression on his face. Compared to the others whose foreheads were covered with sweat, there was no reaction at all on Miguel's face.
Facing everyone's attention, Miguel showed an innocent smile, "Well, I think it's okay, and it's not very spicy. However, it is indeed delicious. Miss Lucy's cooking is really good."
"Damn it! You just said you can't eat spicy food!" Dina was indignant. She grew up with Miguel's childhood sweetheart, but she didn't realize that Miguel was such a spicy person.
Then Dina turned her eyes and saw Xiulan on the other side. The aristocratic young man who said that he couldn't eat spicy food had only a thin layer of sweat on his nose, and his eyes were bright in the pot... Specializing in picking out ghosts. Hand pepper tongs!
Dina's eyes widened suddenly and she pointed at Xiulan, unable to speak clearly, "You, you, you... I asked you why you put so many devil's hands in your backpack, it turns out you like to eat them!"
Dina was filled with grief and anger, "Do you have any credibility anymore? You said you can't eat spicy food, but one of you can eat it better than the other!"
Lu Xi did not participate in the commotion of the group. He brought half a basin of boiled mutton that had been divided in advance, gave half of it to the young dragon, and filled another bowl to Xiao Yuan.
In the bowl that Lu Xi served Xiao Yuan, Lu Xi added half of the mushroom soup to dilute the spiciness. He had to give Xiao Yuan a taste anyway.
Then Lu Xi served herself a bowl of boiled mutton with mushroom soup... Yes, she doesn't like spicy food either.
Carrying Xiao Yuan's bowl of boiled mutton, Lu Xi walked to Clyde's side. Clyde was in a higher position and was upwind, so the smell was not easy to spread. Xiao Yuan, who couldn't stand the spicy smell, hid. it's here.
Smelling the spicy boiled mutton in Lu Xi's hand, Xiao Yuan struggled hard for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist his yearning for delicious food. He started eating happily, but from time to time he stuck out his tongue and gasped, and then lowered his head. Eat hard.
It looks inexplicably similar to Dina on the other side.
Lu Xi did not ignore Clyde. He filled a bowl of original boiled mutton and handed it over, "Want to try it?"
Clyde glanced at the group of people on the other side who were eating enthusiastically, and showed a strange expression, "You might as well add a mushroom soup to me."
Lu Xi followed Clyde's gaze and didn't understand what he meant, but still followed Clyde's instructions and gave him a "slightly spicy" boiled mutton with mushroom soup.
The two of them were eating "slightly spicy" boiled mutton side by side, watching the people over there eating enthusiastically.
Lu Xi suddenly reacted after realizing it, and suddenly turned his face to look at Clyde, who looked back calmly.
"I didn't mean it." Lu Xi said.
"I know." Clyde chewed slowly.
"Why didn't you remind them?" Lu Xi frowned.
"I see they are quite happy eating." Clyde wiped his mouth and put down the bowl and spoon, his expression unchanged.
Lu Xi looked at those who still didn't know the truth with pity and sighed.
The boiled mutton was eaten cleanly in the end. After all, it was not a staple food. No matter how full they were, everyone ate the mushroom broth they had cooked before with gray bread.
Gray bread is a kind of food between black bread and white bread. Compared with cheap black bread mixed with various grains, gray bread should actually belong to the category of white bread, but it is not ground as finely as white bread, so it is considered medium. A common food that the crowd can afford, of course, is nominally "white bread."
Fortunately, the taste of the mushroom broth was not much inferior. After eating the boiled mutton, everyone needed milder food to calm down.
Naturally, Lu Xi was not needed for the final tidying up. The few people who were satisfied with their food had already consciously started various tidying up tasks.
Lu Xi remained in a state of "wanting to speak but stopping, stopping speaking but wanting to" until he started to walk again.
The accident was not surprising at all. The first one to speak was Dina. Before she had gone out far, Dina held her stomach in pain.
Then White, Cagli, and even Miguel did not escape. Their expressions changed under the pain in their abdomen.
Hailin went out to investigate, and she didn't know what her condition was, but since Clyde sent several signals to call her back, but no one was seen, she must be in danger.
The survivors had only the front to clear the way. At this time, Clyde had stopped to watch everyone's performance, and Xiulan, who looked confused and didn't know why nothing happened.
"Are you poisoned?" Cagli held his stomach and pointed at Lu Xi, even questioning seemed weak.
Xiao Yuan stopped in front of Lu Xi and looked at Kagli warily. It was a pity that it couldn't speak, otherwise it would have defended Lu Xi fiercely.
Fortunately, although Xiao Yuan couldn't speak, Dina was beside him.
"Impossible, Miss Lucy also ate it!" Dina defended Lu Xi, "Besides, boiled mutton is so delicious, how could it be poisonous! It must be our problem!"
His tone was firm and unwavering, leaving no room for doubt.
White looked at the calm Clyde and suddenly reacted. He covered his stomach with one hand and pointed at Clyde with the other hand, his face full of pain, "You! You! Why didn't you remind us!"
"Go quickly, don't carry it here." Clyde looked disgusted and waved his hand to chase them away.
A group of people who have never eaten chili peppers are going to eat such a powerful dish for the first time. It’s hard for their stomachs to handle it.
It's like a foreigner going to Sichuan for the first time and ordering the spicy food. It's really life-threatening.
Xiulan could bear it because he often ate ghost-hand chili peppers and his stomach was already resistant, so he was not as fragile as others.
Clyde had already prepared, so he didn't react at all. Xiao Yuan and Lu Xi were both "slightly spicy", so it was normal for them to not react.
The young dragon probably ate the most boiled mutton here, but it was a dragon and the most powerful creature in the other world. A little spicy was nothing, and it could even swallow lava alive.
So, the first day of the journey ended in such a chaotic way.
