Chapter 266: Chapter 267 Steamed Eggs
Gaiyin perked up considerably when he heard this!
"Sister-in-law, wait right there! I’ll go get them!"
Looking at the crowd of heads in front of her, all fixated on the steamer basket in her hands, Su Tang chuckled and began to explain.
"What I’m holding is called a steamer basket; it’s a tool for making food! Currently, its most significant use is for smoking meat!
We’ve already made quite a bit of smoked meat today, but the strips of meat are too small and inconvenient for storage. However, that will not be a problem with this steamer basket!
We can cut the meat into larger pieces, make some scoring cuts on them, then steam them on the steamer basket until cooked before smoking and grilling them for easy storage!"
The tribespeople listened in bewilderment, without understanding what Su Tang was saying.
But that was alright. They would soon demonstrate the use of the steamer basket through actual action!
Su Tang ordered the tribespeople to set up a stove, then went to the Kiln Cave to fetch some clay pots, clay bowls, and spoons. She then added water and started to heat it up!
It’s worth mentioning that whether it was because of the quality of the clay here or the improved skills of the females, or perhaps both, the clay pots and bowls they fired this time were incredibly lightweight and thin. Their color was a pale milky hue, leaning towards yellow. They looked extraordinary!
After firmly securing the steamer basket onto the clay pot, the more intelligent Beastmen started to understand its use.
She took a clean piece of raw meat and scored it on both sides with a knife that Gaiyin had conjured, ensuring that the interior of the meat would be thoroughly cooked.
Su Tang then grabbed some salt and massaged it all over the meat before securely placing it onto the steamer basket.
"Make way! Make way!"
A narrow path cleared in the crowd.
Gaiyin and his friends came forward, struggling to carry a basket full of Gugu eggs on their back, one of their harvests for the day.
A basket full of Gugu eggs was placed down, and Gaiyin looked at Su Tang with sparkling eyes.
"Sister-in-law, is this enough?"
Su Tang quickly nodded her head, "It’s more than enough! You rest here for a bit while I make tasty food for you!"
She picked up a Gugu egg, cracked it, and under the astonished gaze of the tribespeople, poured the egg liquid into a clay bowl.
After cracking three eggs in succession, Su Tang stopped.
Even though the clay bowls here were large, the eggs were also huge! Only three eggs filled up more than half of the bowl.
After watching for a while, Huang Guo couldn’t help but comment, "Tangtang, boiling or frying a Gugu egg makes it very tasty! It doesn’t taste good this way! I’ve tried it before... seriously!"
Su Tang gave her a reassuring glance, "Trust me, you’ll like it!"
She used a spoon to break up the egg and stir it evenly, then also placed it in the steamer basket.
Given the considerable crowd surrounding her and the ample space left in the steamer basket, Su Tang put up a few more bowls!
Huang Guo beside her grew impatient while watching the Gugu eggs and would let out sighs of regret from time to time, her eyes filled with disappointment.
Of course, Su Tang noticed but didn’t bother to explain. Instead, she had Gaiyin form a large pot lid with condensation and covered the steaming basket securely!
"Alright, everyone just needs to be patient for a little while longer! There isn’t much, so we’ll try our best to let everyone have a taste!"
The crowd of tribespeople continued to swell, and Su Tang suddenly realized that this was no longer the small Winged Tiger Tribe with just over a hundred members.
Just these quarters of steamed eggs wouldn’t even be enough to give everyone a mouthful.
Helpless, she could only have the tribespeople set up another stove nearby.
