Li Yan was depressed. This was the first time he had seen someone eat rice like this. Although the rice didn't look like rice, it was similar. When he thought about how the white and fragrant rice had been turned into such a state, Li Yan felt like he was about to collapse.
He also understood why Li Na didn't cook rice for him. It was probably because these people didn't know how to cook rice at all. If the rice was cooked this way, it definitely wouldn't taste good. That was why the slaves on the mainland only ate this kind of rice.
He saw a stove that had just been lit and no oil had been poured in. Li Yan couldn't help but walk over and say to a female slave who was about to pour oil,"Wait, don't pour the oil yet."
When the female slave saw Li Yan's expression, she thought that he had done something wrong. She immediately knelt down and said,"Master, please punish me."
This stunned Li Yan, but he immediately came back to his senses and shook his head."I'm not punishing you. You didn't do anything wrong. Listen to me now. Don't pour oil into the pot first. Use a basin to wash the rice. From the looks of it, it can probably hold a basin of rice like this.”As he spoke, Li Yan took out a copper basin.
The female slave didn't know what Li Yan was going to do, but she immediately took the big copper basin from Li Yan's hand and filled it with rice. She went to the spring to wash it properly, then took the rice back and poured it into the pot.
Li Yan continued,"This copper basin has just been filled with more than half of the rice. Go and fill it with as much water as the rice. Then pour the water into the pot."”The female slave went to fetch a basin of water and poured it into the pot. Li Yan asked him to fetch another basin of water. After pouring two basins of water into the pot, the pot was almost full. Li Yan asked the slave to fetch another bowl of water and poured it into the pot. After that, he found a bigger copper basin from the warehouse and placed it on the pot. After that, he asked the female slave to start a fire under the pot.
Li Yan just wanted to cook rice for them. It was actually very simple. When Li Yan was on Earth, he lived alone, so he was very good at cooking rice. The ratio of rice to water was about 1:2. For one catty of rice, two catty of water was enough. However, for this kind of pot, more water was needed because there was firewood directly below. The fire was relatively hard, so Li Yan deliberately put in an extra bowl of water. He didn't ask the female slave to use a big fire. He just used a steady fire to burn the pot.
Zhao Xuan and the others looked at Li Yan curiously. They had cooked rice with water before, but at that time, they used rice as a vegetable, an ingredient for a soup, not rice. Therefore, she had never seen what rice looked like.
It didn't take too long to cook the rice. Soon, the fragrance of the rice in the pot came out. One had to know that the rice in the pot was all rice that didn't use fertilizers and pesticides. It was pure green food, so the taste was naturally good.
When these slaves ate, they also had bowls, but their bowls were all made of wood. Each of them was given a set. In addition to the pot, each of them only had a wooden spoon, but it was enough.
10 people each had a military stove, a wooden bowl, a wooden spoon and a wooden cup. These were all the property of those slaves. Even so, those slaves were still very happy because they didn't even have these things before.
Just as Li Yan was staring at the pot of rice, Li Na walked out of the straw hut and came to Li Yan's side."Young Master, take a look. How do you light the stove in this kitchen?”
Li Yan was stunned and immediately followed Li Na into the hut. In the past, he really didn't pay much attention to the kitchenware in the kitchen. Now that he looked at it, he realized that the kitchenware in the kitchen was actually all electrical appliances. The rice cooker, the flatbread scale, the frying pan, and everything else used electricity. What made Li Yan the most speechless was that you didn't know where the wires were connected to. All the wires were connected to the wall of the grass layer. There was a switch on the pot, and there was nothing else.
However, Li Yan knew how to use all of these things. He glanced at what Li Na was going to make and was speechless again. Good heavens, Li Yan thought that Li Na wanted to make pancakes and stir-fry vegetables. He did not expect Li Na to actually want to make pancakes with fillings on the outside, pizza.
However, it was obvious that his pizza was different from the pizzas Li Yan had seen before. It was far from being as beautiful as the pizzas on Earth. It was just a pancake with noodles and vegetables and ham on it.
Li Yan was impatient. He was from China, and on Earth, Chinese delicacies were world-famous. In this world, he had never eaten a normal meal. He thought he was going to eat pancakes today, but it turned out that this pizza was not like pizza.
However, Li Yan still told Li Na how to use the kitchenware. These things were all powered by electricity, so it was naturally much more convenient. Li Na learned it immediately.
Seeing that Li Na knew how to use these kitchenware, Li Yan did not stay in the kitchen anymore. He turned around and walked out of the kitchen. At this moment, the fragrance of the rice that Li Yan cooked became even stronger, making people sniff.
Seeing Li Yan come out, Zhao Xuan immediately went up to him and whispered,"Young Master, this smells so good. How did you make it?”
"Didn't you see?" Li Yan smiled. It was just adding water to the rice. In fact, the rice itself had the taste of rice. As long as a suitable amount of water was added, the fragrant, soft and delicious rice could be made. It was much more delicious than frying the rice directly. Then, the fruit oil and the vegetables were used to make a soup. It was much better than what they were making now.”
Li Na looked at Li Yan with admiration and said,"Young Master, you know so much. You're so amazing.”
Li Yan couldn't help but blush. He didn't know much. This was something that everyone in China knew, but here, it was his credit.
Li Yan walked to the military stove. After listening to the sound inside, he felt that it was almost ready. He picked up a corn stalk from the ground and pushed the copper basin on the pot with it. The copper basin fell to the ground with a clang, while a mass of hot air rushed out of the pot. Li Yan couldn't help but take a step back. Along with the hot air, a stronger aroma of rice came out. It was so fragrant that it was much more fragrant than the rice that Li Yan had eaten on Earth. Li Yan couldn't help but drool.
After the steam dissipated, the rice in the pot finally revealed its true colors. The rice was not as white as Li Yan had imagined. Instead, it was slightly yellowish. However, it looked oily and smelled extremely fragrant.
Li Yan couldn't help but take out a spoon from the warehouse. He scooped a spoonful of rice and slowly put it into his mouth. Zhao Xuan wanted to stop him, but Li Yan moved too fast. By the time she wanted to stop him, Li Yan had already put the rice into his mouth. Zhao Xuan and the others couldn't help but stare at Li Yan.
Li Yan could feel the fragrance of rice filling his mouth. When he chewed on the rice, it was bouncy, soft, and delicious. He couldn't help but close his eyes and slowly eat the rice. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the slaves and Zhao Xuan were looking at him. Li Yan couldn't help but say in embarrassment,"Everyone, don't look at me. Let's eat. If everyone thinks that the rice that was stir-fried earlier is not delicious, then don't eat it.”
The slaves didn't move immediately. Li Yan looked eager but didn't dare to move. He understood that because he was here, the slaves didn't dare to act rashly. He couldn't help but smile. He turned to Zhao Xuan and said,"Zhao Xuan, let's go in. There's rice here anyway. If they don't like fried rice, we can make rice again.”
Zhao Xuan was also a smart person. She immediately understood the meaning behind Li Yan's words. She immediately nodded and said,"Alright, Young Master, let's go in and see how Grandma's cooking is going.”
Li Yan couldn't help but smile. He was starting to like this understanding, gentle, and kind girl more and more. The two of them pulled Tie Dan and Gou Dan into the straw hut.
Li Dou and Ann didn't follow them. They wanted to stay outside and taste how delicious the rice was. Seeing that Li Yan and Zhao Xuan had already entered the house, the slaves immediately surrounded the military stove. They ate one mouthful after another and soon finished the big pot of rice. Everyone praised while eating.
After finishing this pot of rice, those slaves exchanged a glance with each other before pouring away all the fried rice in the pot and washing the rice again.
However, there was a thick layer of rice crust left in the pot of the first person. They had never seen such a thing before. One of the slaves picked up the rice crust out of curiosity. After taking a look at it and sniffing it, he found that the slightly burnt rice fragrance was even more alluring. Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation and took a bite.
After taking a bite, his eyes lit up as he quickly took a second bite. As a military stove, the rice crust was not small either. It was like a small shield. Of course, one person could not finish it. The slave then distributed the rice crust to the surrounding people. Before the second pot of rice was ready, they had already eaten their fill.
Li Yan, Li Na, and the others had been leaning against the door of the straw hut and watching the slaves. When they saw that they were about to cook rice for the second time, Li Yan immediately pushed the door open and walked out. He said to the slave,"Seven pots of rice should be enough for everyone. The remaining three pots will be used to make soup. When the rice is ready and the soup is ready, everyone will be able to eat both rice and vegetables.”
When the slaves heard Li Yan's words, they knew that Li Yan had been watching them. They could not help but feel a little embarrassed. However, they immediately followed Li Yan's words. They were really impressed by their master now, and they were even extremely grateful.
Many people cried when they ate the rice. They had never eaten such delicious food in their lives. Not to mention them, even their families had never eaten such delicious food. They were really too excited.
