Elven settlers

Chapter 357 Busy
The quality of these rough sea salts is definitely not as good as the high-quality table salt that Rock bought in Sunshine Town, and of course he is not going to eat them.

It just happened that the salt was used up, and a little salt was needed to prolong the storage time for oil refining, so it was temporarily boiled from seawater for emergency.

Even coarse salt, such a small amount of intake will not have any effect on the body at all.

Now that he had the salt, he could start refining the oil.

But it was noon now, and the Heluga who had gone out to graze the sheep had already returned to the camp with all kinds of prey in their mouths, waiting eagerly for Rock to cook.

So he had to settle his lunch with the elves first, and then started the long-awaited work of cooking oil.

Rock first cut the fat of the long-haired pig into two finger-square pieces, then put it in a pot under cold water, boiled the water over high heat, and blanched the fat to remove the blood.

At the same time, he also added some tree fruit wine and sliced ​​ginger and scallions to the pot to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma of the fat of the long-haired pig.

After skimming off the floating powder in the pot, Luo Ke fished out the fat. At this time, the fat that was originally pink and white turned completely white, looking very tender and smooth.

Rock washed the blanched long-haired pig fat with clean water, then poured spring water about one-third of the fat into the pot, and then poured in the fat to start cooking.

The reason for adding water is to prevent the fat from becoming bitter, and also to make the fat more evenly heated.

He first boiled the water with a high fire, then picked the charcoal on the fire, and turned the fire to medium fire.

As the water in the pot evaporated, the fat of the long-haired pig began to slowly produce oil. Rock moved a little closer and smelled it, but there was no strange smell, which meant that the refined lard tasted good again. some.

After about an hour of boiling, the fat in the pot has begun to turn yellow, and the water in the pot has gradually evaporated, and you can see obvious bubbles of fat.

At this time, Rock adjusted the fire to a low fire, and then put some shallots, ginger slices, and onion slices into the pot to further enhance the flavor of the lard.

The low heat slowly soaks the oil in the fat of the long-haired pig. The color of spices and fat becomes more and more yellow, and the aroma of the fat in the pot gradually becomes more and more dry.

When the color of the spices and fat turned a little brown, Rock fished out the residue and oil residue, and then brought a pot full of long-haired pig lard from the fire.

The slag rock will be thrown away directly, while the oil slag rock will stay and make pies to eat.

This pot of lard has been refined here. After the lard in the pot was slightly cooler, Rock found a stainless steel basin that was originally used for drinking water for the elves.

After cleaning, let Hei Lujia dry the water inside with a flame, then put a handful of peppercorns and sea salt boiled in the morning, and then use a filter to filter while pouring the lard in the pot into the steel basin .

If there is no accident, these clear reddish-brown lard will turn into a milky white paste solid after cooling and solidifying.

"There is a serious shortage of containers. It seems that I have to buy a lot of things when I go to Sunshine Town this time."

Since he had to store a lot of food for the winter, Rock found that the containers he bought before were not enough.

Fortunately, he can take some water basins for elves for the time being, but this time he will go to Sunshine Town to buy a lot of bottles and cans.

"Hey, it's a pity that I don't know how to burn pottery, otherwise it would be much more convenient."

Rock sighed, and continued the work of cooking oil.

The large pot of lard that was refined just now was only the fat of a long-haired pig, and there were also fats from two long-haired pigs and the tails of two frightened horned deer waiting for him to refine.

For the next whole afternoon, the camp was filled with the smell of grease, and there was a faint smell of fireworks. It was the smell of Helujia smoking bacon on the bank of the Jingkong River not far away.

After all the oils were refined, all the stainless steel basins used by the elves to drink water were used.

The sun gradually disappeared on the western horizon. Rock filled the last pot of deer tail oil in a sealed jar containing large needle honey, stretched his waist and neck, and immediately started making dinner without stopping.

Seeing the Mali sheep and the woolly sheep returning leisurely, Rock felt a little envious for a while.

Although the construction of the ranch has been suspended right now, due to limited conditions, Rock is still the only one in the ranch, so he is still very busy every day, and there are always various jobs waiting for him. It's a shame they're already doing their best to help.

"Oh, how did you forget about this?"

For dinner, Rock planned to eat the fried oil pie in the afternoon, but just as he reconciled the dough, he slapped his head, remembering that the battle of the Doudou pigeons had not been arranged yet.

So he put down the dough in his hand again, and hurried to catch the Doudouge and the armored chrysalis into the octagonal cage.

After the eight doudouges finished their routine battle practice tonight, Rock thought about nothing else to miss, and then continued with the half-cooked dinner.

Fortunately, although it was interrupted in the middle, the taste of the pie was not affected. The mille-feuille Lada meat pie mixed with oil residue was very mellow and delicious, which comforted Rock after a busy day.

"The smell of this oil residue is so fragrant. Now I can conclude with more than 90.00% certainty that the lard must also be very delicious. Tomorrow morning, we will use lard to fry some beans and try it."

Around the bright campfire, Rock and the elves were feasting on delicious pies.

After a busy day, he can finally sit down and enjoy the fruits of his labor.

The taste of the long-haired lard residue is very good, which makes the already delicious mille-feuille Lada patty even more delicious, which makes Rock look forward to the lard refined today.

It's a pity that the happy dinner time is very short, because the bacon on the river bank has not been cooked yet, and now his Heluga is still hungry, staring at the charcoal fire under the ten bacon racks.

"When the house is built next year, and if the income increases, I will definitely hire a helper."

Rock put the last half of the pie into his mouth in two or three gulps, then took a sip of tree fruit wine, then got up and left the camp to replace Heluga.

"Thank you for your hard work, you can go back to eat, I left you some of the best fried pies."

"Hey~"

Hei Lujia, who had already smelled the smell of pies in the camp, licked the drool at the corner of his mouth when he saw Roque, greeted him and rushed to the camp.

"Oh, this foodie."

Rock looked at Hei Lujia's back and chuckled, and then took care of ten bacon racks.

　In the last chapter, a book friend pointed out the problem of magnesium chloride in seawater, so the last paragraph of the last chapter was slightly changed. The coarse salt made by the protagonist has a bit more bitter taste
