Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 817 - 777: Ancient Iron Cauldron Stew

Some individuals couldn't help but swallow as they stared at the slightly whitish soup in the three large pots.

Seeing that none of them moved, and when he looked up, Lin Yi was momentarily stunned by the expressions on everyone's faces.

At the same time, he understood what was on their minds.

This was a big pot of boiled meat broth, a rare delicacy for them at this moment.

Previously, when they caught wild game to cook, just getting a sip of the broth was considered fortunate.

It had been instructed earlier that the broth should be reserved for the children.

As a result, when they heard Lin Yi telling them to dump all of this broth, everyone was momentarily dumbfounded, displaying puzzled expressions.

Even though they currently had plenty of horses.

Even the warhorses that had fallen in battle were more than enough to feed them for some time.

In other words, they didn't have to worry about meat right now.

However, despite this, their long-cultivated habit made them reluctant to dispose of the horse meat broth. To them, savoring a bowl of it would be a treat.

Yet, despite understanding their thoughts, Lin Yi resolutely insisted they throw it all away.

This pot of water, though somewhat whitish in appearance, was merely the initial water used to boil the meat. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

To put it bluntly, it hardly deserved to be called soup, it was merely water, with unsightly blood foam floating on top.

It wasn't just unpleasant to taste but also lacked nutritional value.

Moreover, there was a crucial reason why Lin Yi resolutely insisted on disposing of it.

The water used for this pork wasn't clean.

They had merely used water from a small ditch nearby.

Even though it had been boiled, it still wasn't clean.

It's fine to use it to boil meat briefly, but they couldn't continue using this water.

Owing to Lin Yi's authority, although everyone was reluctant, hearing him insist again to dispose of the water, they could only regretfully do so.

Lin Yi, however, keenly observed that while discarding the water, many soldiers secretly filled their water pouches with the broth.

Initially, Lin Yi intended to stop them, but after a moment's thought, he decided against it.

Changing their mindset wouldn't happen overnight; it required time.

Ultimately, getting them to follow orders was sufficient for now.

After the three large pots were rearranged, they were set back on the fires.

At this point, Lin Yi had retrieved the necessary items from the System Space.

A whole bucket of peanut oil and various seasonings.

He watched as the iron pots started reddening from the fire, and without a word, he poured the entire jug of oil into the three pots.

The moment the oil hit the pots, its aroma spread everywhere, causing everyone to take deep breaths.

The scent was simply too enticing. Just pouring oil into the pot had them drooling uncontrollably.

It wasn't surprising; the allure of this was too significant for them since, in this society, peanut oil was non-existent. They consumed more animal-derived grease.

It wasn't over yet. After pouring oil into the pots, Lin Yi tossed several green onions and ginger into the three pots.

Indeed, without using a knife, he simply snapped them a couple of times and threw them in directly.

As soon as the onions, ginger, and garlic hit the pots, their unique aroma filled the air again.

This time, the fragrance was even more robust, and Lin Yi could clearly hear the sound of salivating around him.

However, at that moment, he had no time to care about their actions.

He stood focused on the three pots before him, wielding a brand-new large iron shovel.

Honestly, this was Lin Yi's first time handling such a large pot dish.

The feeling was indeed gratifying.

As he stirred the pots with the shovel, the onions, ginger, and garlic began to shrink. Lin Yi shouted to those around:

"Add in the meat!"

With that command, everyone snapped into action, rushed forward, and tossed the horse meat from the plastic sheet into the pots.

Despite the continued stirring with the iron shovel, the amount of meat being added made it quite strenuous for Lin Yi.

At that point, Lao Liu emerged from somewhere and approached Lin Yi, grinning as he said:

"Immortal Young Master, let me take over the stirring."

Saying so, he reached to grab the iron shovel from Lin Yi's hands.

This fellow's brute strength was indeed formidable. With an unexpected tug, the shovel slipped out of Lin Yi's hand right into Lao Liu's grasp.

It left him momentarily stunned, but regaining his composure, he jokingly kicked Lao Liu on his backside and said:

"Go, go, stir the pot over there. Let's have another person take a pot!"

He swung his hand, and instantly, two brand-new iron shovels appeared.

Upon hearing him, a quick-witted individual immediately stepped up, taking the iron shovel from Lin Yi, proceeding to mimic Lin Yi's actions in another pot.

With the inclusion of these two, Lin Yi felt noticeably relieved.

Initially overseeing three pots amidst intense flames was overwhelming.

With Lao Liu and another assisting, Lin Yi was freed up to handle more.

After teaching the two how to stir-fry, Lin Yi handed his shovel to another bystander to take over.

Freeing himself, he retrieved three bottles of soy sauce from the System Space, pouring them into the pots.

With the soy sauce added, the slightly yellow meat from the frying began to take on a light reddish-brown color.
