Chapter 346 Slurping Noodles
Itachi hugged the soft, fragrant little body in his arms and shook his head desperately, "It's okay, it's okay."
"My little one, I'm so sorry..." I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you and your father, I'm so sorry...
He used a little force to hold the cub tightly in his arms.
Little Lynx looked up, somewhat bewildered. He sensed that his parents seemed very sad.
"High Priest Brother said he's going to make noodles. Would you like to come with us, Father and Mother Wen?"
"We can bring some back for Mom and Dad when we go back." The cub's innocent and heartwarming words awakened Itachi from his old memories.
He quickly released the cub, took its little hand, and said with a smile, "Okay, we'll bring some back for your parents too."
Yesterday is dead, today is new.
As he thought this, the gloom in his heart gradually dissipated, and the deathly aura emanating from him faded considerably.
Lin Baiyan looked at the sub-beastman who was leading the cub by the hand and waved to him with a smile, "Come on, the flour is almost ready, let's make noodles together."
Itachi quickly responded, by which time the wheat flour had been almost completely ground.
Mix the ground wheat flour with warm water and salt to form a dough. Cover the dough in a bowl and let it rest for half an hour. Then knead the dough until smooth and let it rest for another twenty minutes.
Lin Baiyan glanced at the dough in the large basin and estimated that there wasn't much of it.
This was what he got in exchange for the city; he considered it a treat for a few close friends to have dinner.
He set up a small table right at the entrance of the cafeteria and started cooking on the spot.
Consider this a live demonstration, and a chance to promote the benefits of wheat. If any orcs want to eat it, they can follow his example.
While the dough was rising, Lin Baiyan picked out two pieces of beef, five large radishes, and a few small green vegetables. He was preparing to make beef noodles.
This was the first time he had eaten noodles in over a year since he came to the Orcish Continent, and the thought of it made him excited.
To be honest, he actually wanted to eat Anhui beef noodles more; that's so fragrant and flavorful!
He had eaten it once when he was on a business trip to Hebei Province. The taste was absolutely amazing. No other place could make it like this.
Unfortunately, there isn't enough food right now, so we'll have to make do.
However, Lin Baiyan was not disappointed. He was already very satisfied to be able to eat proper noodles now.
After the beef and radish stew was started, Lin Baiyan began rolling out noodles, using a round wooden stick as a rolling pin.
First, knead the dough until smooth, then sprinkle a thin layer of flour on it. Press the dough to make it larger, then start rolling it out from one side in a circle. Roll it out into a thin pancake, then roll it onto the rolling pin. Continue rolling with your hands on both sides, without applying pressure in the middle.
Roll the dough in different directions to make it the right thickness. Once it's about the right thickness, sprinkle a thin layer of flour on it and cut it into noodles about one centimeter wide.
After boiling the noodles in water for three to five minutes, they were ready to serve. While cooking the noodles, Lin Baiyan took a deep sniff of the carbohydrate aroma emanating from the pot. The beef broth would be ready in a while, and he couldn't wait any longer.
Little Lynx pulled on Itachi's finger and stood on tiptoe to try and see what was in the pot. "High Priest Brother, it smells so good! This aroma is so unique."
Lin Baiyan lowered his head and said earnestly to him, "Little Lynx River, this is the smell of grain."
Lang Cang spread out the bed, then took out his precious ox horn comb from a small box and placed it at the head of their bed, so that his little partner could easily find the comb whenever he remembered to groom himself.
Lang Cang was making his own plans.
He looked up at the sky; it was almost noon. Why hadn't Lin Baiyan returned yet?
Wolf Cang is going out to find a mate.
Little Asia Beastman disappeared early in the morning, and no one knows where he went to have fun again. Unfortunately, his partner is always doing serious things, while Wolf Cang spends all day looking for a partner throughout the entire Beast City.
He had only walked a few steps outside when he ran into Itachi Tamaki, who also seemed to be on his way to find Itachi Wen. The two exchanged a glance and then walked together in tacit understanding.
"Do you know where they are?" Lang Cang asked.
Itachi chuckled, "The High Priest is cooking noodles in the central square and invited us to eat there!"
The two walked towards the central square while talking. When they arrived, Lin Baiyan had just finished cooking an egg and minced meat sauce.
The beef still needs to stew for a while, so we need to have some other broth first. He can't wait to eat the noodles!
Lin Baiyan's eyes lit up when he saw Lang Cang, and he quickly waved to him.
Upon seeing his partner's gesture, Lang Cang quickly went over and was immediately stuffed with a mouthful of minced meat sauce. "How is it? Is it salty enough?"
Lang Cang swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head. "Not salty."
That's good. Lin Baiyan was relieved. It seemed that his skills hadn't deteriorated.
By this time, the noodles were almost cooked. He took them out and rinsed them with cold water. He picked up a bowl of noodles, poured a large spoonful of egg and minced meat sauce on it, and handed it to Lang Cang first.
Amidst the envious glances of the other cubs, Lang Cang took the noodles, picked up a strand with his chopsticks, and put it in his mouth. "Delicious!"
Lin Baiyan looked at his somewhat awkward movements with amusement, "That's not how you eat noodles. You have to stir them and slurp them up to make them taste good."
As he spoke, he took the chopsticks from Lang Cang's bowl and stirred the noodles. Then he slurped up a big mouthful. The noodles were chewy and smooth, and with the perfectly seasoned sauce, he was almost moved to tears.
Beast God, it's been almost two years, nearly two years, and he's finally had a taste of carbohydrates!
He tasted it briefly, then started serving noodles to the cubs who weren't beside him, watching with a smile as we took the small bowls and ate with gusto.
After the cubs came the adult beastmen. Itachi took his share and clumsily picked up the noodles with his chopsticks.
He had only been using chopsticks for a few days and was very anxious because he couldn't get the food into his mouth. In the end, he simply put two chopsticks together and shoveled the food into his mouth.
It smells so good! It smells amazing!
This dish called noodles paired with minced meat sauce is absolutely amazing!
The docile and docile children ate with great relish.
The food in Beast City is really delicious.
The orcs gathered around lowered their heads in unison and began to slurp their noodles. In an instant, the area in front of the canteen was filled with the sounds of people slurping their noodles.
The dog spirit rushed over upon hearing the news, just in time to receive the last bowl of noodles. She happily accepted it and began to devour it, just like the people around her.
Before the beef stew with radish was even ready, the noodles were already gone.
The dog spirit carefully finished the last noodle, wiped her mouth, and felt the fullness in her stomach. "High Priest, this wheat flour is so filling!"
She only ate one bowl of noodles and still felt about 70% full.
If the City of Ten Thousand Beasts increases its wheat cultivation, they might be able to truly replace beast meat with wheat as their staple food in the future.
Lin Baiyan said with a smile, "Of course, this is real carbohydrates."
"Not only wheat, but also rice, corn and soybeans, these are all easy plants to grow."
"Let's take it slow. In less than three years, Beast City will definitely be able to achieve self-sufficiency and no longer need to rely on wild beasts during the hunting season to survive."
