Chapter 459 The Correct Way to Open a Sneezing Fruit
"How is it? Not bad, right?"
Seeing Lezhi eat one bite after another without offering any opinions, Snow, who was initially a little worried, gradually relaxed.
He was relaxed and not nervous even if Yuezhi didn't answer.
They must be satisfied, otherwise why would they be so engrossed in eating that they didn't even have time to talk?
"Wait a minute, there's more here." Lei Xiu took a small bite and, seeing that Le Zhi liked it, began to serve him more food.
Seeing that Lezhi could finish a whole plate by himself, Siwu, the chef, smiled and glanced at Snow, saying, "I'm glad you like it. If you're not full, just tell me and I'll make more. I still have ingredients."
"Yes, I'll take it."
It was a rare treat to encounter a fellow tribesman with such good skills, and Lezhi felt as if he had struck gold, so he quickly indicated that he wanted to order more.
At the same time, he didn't forget the fluffy ball on his head, "Come on, try it, isn't it different from what you've eaten before?"
"Tweet~"
Seeing Lezhi enjoying his meal, Snow was also very happy.
They ate lunch until the restaurant was empty, and they had to order more food several times before they were finally satisfied.
The roast meat on the table was completely eaten, leaving only a few plates of vegetables. Lezhi wanted to use them to fill the gaps, but didn't know where to start.
The red berries are fine, but the leafy greens are all raw. The wavy leaves are similar to lettuce from my previous life. The curly-leafed greens are a type of root vegetable, probably a variant of curly-leafed greens. They are bright green and crisp. If I could stir-fry them with some stinky fruit, I could easily devour two plates. But they won't do if they're raw.
He doesn't like eating raw food.
Even the red fruit that looked just like a tomato was something he had to hypnotize himself into thinking it was fruit before he could swallow it with difficulty.
There was also roasted stone fruit. He couldn't understand how someone could control the heat so perfectly when roasting meat, yet when it came to roasting stone fruit, the surface was charred black while the inside was still raw. It was truly inedible.
No wonder Snow had that expression when the side dishes were mentioned; it's really hard to comment on.
After seeing off the guests, Siwu, who could finally rest for a bit, came to the table and saw the only two leftover side dishes that had hardly been touched, which contrasted sharply with the stacked plates of roasted meat. She looked a little embarrassed.
Waaah, there's nothing I can do, he's just not good at cooking vegetables, I'm so sorry for making the guests laugh. Luckily the barbecue is very popular, otherwise I would really be too embarrassed to show my face.
"Well, we don't really like eating vegetables." Snow couldn't bear to look at them, but still kindly offered a way out.
Instead of commenting on Siwu's inability to cook vegetables, Lezhi focused on the most important ingredient: pepper. He didn't mince words and asked directly, "Siwu, did you use any special seasonings when you grilled the meat?"
Lei Xiu wasn't surprised that Lezhi would ask this. Lezhi gets especially excited when she encounters new food; she'll get used to it.
The tree spirits already have a basic sense of secrecy. For example, the long-tailed tribe has a special method for making dyes, and a special method for processing metals and stones. Even Lezhi himself has kept the fact that the Exploding Flower Fruit is the raw material for making cola a secret.
It might be presumptuous of me to ask so abruptly, but Lezhi couldn't worry about that now.
That's pepper; it's an indispensable seasoning for any meat dish.
He wanted to know, no matter the cost.
Startled by Lezhi's serious expression, Siwu didn't have time to answer. Snow quickly realized what was going on, "Lezhi wants to ask how you make such delicious barbecue. Did you use any special seasonings or cooking methods? He's just very interested in food. Don't be afraid, sit down and tell me slowly."
Seeing Snow's somewhat nervous expression, Si Wu chuckled and sat down casually. "I'm not afraid. But you, why are you suddenly so nervous?"
After saying that, he looked at Lezhi and, without feeling offended, directly answered Lezhi's question, "Yes, I used some plants with unique flavors before grilling the meat."
Seeing that Siwu was so generous in sharing, Lezhi immediately perked up, "What is it?"
"Salt is a must, of course, and I also added sneezing fruit."
"Sneeze fruit?"
Before Lezhi could say anything after the answer appeared, Snow exclaimed in surprise. Luckily, they were the only people left in the restaurant.
"You know about the sneezing fruit?" Snow raised an eyebrow curiously. Was this sneezing fruit very famous?
Turning to look at Lei Xiu, he saw a hint of a smile flash across Lei Xiu's eyes before he shook his head, indicating that he should listen to Snow's explanation.
So everyone present, including Maoqiu and Kele, watched Snow and Siwu argue with great interest.
"Yeah, so what if I added it? You guys enjoyed it, didn't you?"
"That's because I didn't know you added sneezing fruit. If I had known, if I had known..."
"If you had known what would happen, you wouldn't have eaten it. Are you sure you could have resisted?" Siwu raised her chin, crossed her arms, and waited for Snow's answer.
"........."
That's hard to say.
Although the sneezing fruit left an indelible memory in the hearts of every Kunling Clan cub, the thought of how delicious the roasted meat made by Siwu was made him waver.
The battle was over, and Snow was defeated. Lezhi interjected at the right time. He didn't care what Snow was struggling with. Since Snow was willing to share the secret recipe, he naturally wanted to ask more questions.
"Um, is the sneezing fruit only available here? Can I see what it looks like?"
“That’s right, the sneezing fruit is a specialty of the Daqing Mountains. We haven’t seen it anywhere else. Of course you can see it if you want. Although it’s rare outside, it’s not a rare thing in the Kunling Clan. Wait a moment, I have some in my space.” Facing Lezhi, Siwu’s attitude immediately returned to the enthusiasm of their first meeting. When he heard that Lezhi wanted to see the sneezing fruit, he immediately started searching in his space.
"No, this is it."
As Lezhi took the fruit from Siwu, he was about to sniff it out of curiosity when Snow and Siwu shouted at the same time, "No!" "Watch out!"
Startled, Lezhi jumped, the fur on his head stood on end, and his little black bean eyes widened. He got into a defensive stance, but nothing happened.
"What happened?" Lei Xiu reached out to protect Le Zhi from behind. Seeing that Le Zhi was genuinely startled, he frowned and gently scolded her, while patting her back lightly.
The two who were scolded were not guilty. Snow pointed to the sneezing fruit in Lezhi's hand and said, "You must hold that sneezing fruit in your hand carefully. Be careful not to touch the brown bump on it. If you do, well, that would be a human tragedy."
Following Snow's suggestion, Lezhi successfully found the brown protrusion he had mentioned, only then realizing that when Snow handed it to him earlier, his fingers had deliberately avoided this spot.
"It won't be a tragedy, it'll just make you sneeze all day long." Giving Snow a disapproving look for interrupting him, Si Wu explained, "That's where the name 'Sneeze Fruit' comes from. But as long as you don't touch that area, it's perfectly safe, don't worry."
After saying that, Siwu took out a sneezing fruit and a cloth bag from her space and personally demonstrated to Lezhi how to properly open the sneezing fruit.
It's quite simple: put the sneezing fruit in a cloth bag, tie the bag tightly, and then roll it on a table. The brown bumps will spray out powder upon contact, and that powder is the seasoning they need.
However, before Siwu discovered it, this thing was used by the tribesmen as a prank weapon to attack each other.
"Sneezing for a whole day isn't serious? I was almost half dead back then, you know. Only you would think of using this stuff to make food..."
Snow was still grumbling and complaining, but Lezhi had already successfully obtained the pepper powder she wanted. "Achoo!"
Yes, high-purity pepper powder, premium grade, personally verified.
