Bind the system and take your younger siblings to survive in the disaster years

Li Zheng laughed loudly when he heard this: "Hahaha, you girl. Okay, I will ask A Niu to tie up the pigs and send them to you later."

Li Qingxiu also smiled and said: "I have to ask Brother Aniu to kill the pig for me."

"Kill all three pigs?!" Li Zheng was stunned. He did not suspect that he had heard wrongly, but that Li Qingxiu had said it wrong.

Li Qingxiu nodded: "Yes, because I plan to marinate all the meat."

It's autumn now, and although it's quite cool at night, it's still very hot during the day. If you make bacon at this time, the bacon will still easily get insects.

So Li Qingxiu chose some stones to build a small ventilation room by the waterfall. Then he hung the cured bacon in it and used the cold air blown by the waterfall to dry the bacon and sausages.

Li Datian, who was guarding the earth kiln, wanted to come over to help, but was stopped by Li Qingxiu. She was so strong that she could build a small stone ventilation house without help from anyone else.

After Li Qingxiu had just built the ventilation room, Li Lei and Li Aniu came over carrying a killed wild boar.

They saw that Li Qingxiu had built a small stone pavilion by the waterfall, so they asked Li Qingxiu what the purpose of this pavilion was.

Li Qingxiu smiled mysteriously and told them they would know when the time comes.

The wild boar was killed but not decomposed. Li Lei and Li Aniu just killed the pig and shaved it. They also collected the pig's waste in a wooden barrel and carried it over with the pork.

Li Qingxiu asked them to put the wild boar by the stream, and then she went back to the thatched cottage and came over with a kitchen knife and two wooden barrels.

When Li Aniu and Li Lei saw that Li Qingxiu was back, they went to kill the remaining two wild boars and carried them over.

The busy people were all curious and envious when they saw Li Qingxiu handling three big pigs by the stream.

Widow Jia, who had just returned, originally wanted to go to the thatched cottage to get steamed buns. She happened to see Li Qingxiu handling three large wild boars by the stream.

Widow Jia immediately stepped forward and rolled up her sleeves to help. Li Qingxiu didn't stop her. She asked Widow Jia to break down all the pigs according to their parts, while she herself handled the pig waste.

Widow Jia asked curiously while chopping the pig's thighs: "Come and pretty niece, are these three pigs of yours the three in the team?"

Li Qingxiu kept moving her hands and replied: "Yes, I got that from Uncle Li Zheng in exchange for the stone kang bed drawings."

"What is the blueprint of a stone kang bed?"

"Oh, it's just a stone bed built with stones. It's a bit like the earthen kang we use to cook. If you burn the kang before going to bed, it will be very warm when you sleep in cold weather."

Widow Jia was so surprised that she even stopped moving her hands. She stared at Li Qingxiu in shock. "Come and pretty niece, how did you get such a big head? You can think of such a good baby."

Li Qingxiu said: "How can I be that powerful? This is not what I thought, it was what I read in a book."

Widow Jia moved her body closer to Li Qingxiu. "That's still very impressive. You see, Li Xuan is just a scholar all day long, and he doesn't know as much as you do."

When Li Qingxiu heard this, she immediately looked around and saw no one, then reminded Widow Jia: "Auntie, don't say these nonsense. It would be so embarrassing if it got to the ears of Uncle Li Zheng's family."

Widow Jia also knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she chuckled and said, "I know, I'm not stupid." After that, she chopped the pig bone hard.

After Li Qingxiu washed the pigs, Widow Jia also decomposed the three pigs.

It took the two of them several trips to transport all the pork from the three pigs back to the yard of the thatched house. Today, the children have all gone to work, and the whole yard is much cleaner.

Li Qingxiu decided to marinate the bacon in the yard before making sausages tomorrow.

Widow Jia looked at Li Qingxiu and asked, "What are you going to do with all the pork?"

"Wait a minute." After Li Qingxiu said that, she ran back to the thatched house and took out a wooden basin, and also took out several medicinal materials such as star anise, cinnamon leaves, cumin and cloves. These medicinal materials were bought from Dr. Zhou before he fled the famine.

Seeing Li Qingxiu bring out so many medicinal materials, Qingfeng Li asked with concern: "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why did you bring out so many medicinal materials?"

Li Qingxiu was afraid that the little guy would be worried, so she explained it clearly to Li Qingfeng. "No discomfort, these are used to marinate pork. If you are bored in the house, you can come out and take a look with your sister."

After she finished speaking, she took out the sugar, salt, wine and other condiments and put them all into the wooden basin, then took the wooden basin out of the house.

Qingfeng Li also became interested upon hearing this. Seeing that Li Qingxiao was already sleeping and snoring, he covered his sister with a thin quilt and ran out of the house. He also wanted to see how his sister marinated the meat.

Li Qingxiu handed the newly distributed spices to Widow Jia and asked Widow Jia to stir-fry these spices in the pot until fragrant. She was responsible for crushing the fried medicinal materials.

Since there was no tool for crushing the medicinal materials, Li Qingxiu directly found a large stone, washed it, and then used small stones to crush the medicinal materials. Although there was no way to make it super crushed, it was enough to marinate the pork with flavor.

After Widow Jia finished frying the herbs, Li Qingxiu asked Widow Jia to cut the pork belly of the three pigs into strips.

After she prepared the medicinal powder, the two of them put all the pork belly in a basin, poured in the medicinal powder, and began to apply the medicinal powder to each strip of pork belly.

Qingfeng Li smelled the fragrance in the air and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow! This medicinal material smells so good."

Widow Jia smelled the fragrance wafting around and said in disbelief: "You are still very versatile. This is the first time I have seen meat marinated with medicinal herbs."

"That's because these are not only medicinal materials, but also spices, which can perfectly remove the mutton smell of pork." Li Qingxiu became a little confused after saying this. "This one has too much meat and the pot is a bit too small."

Widow Jia said she had it there and used it for washing clothes, and she didn't know if Li Qingxiu would mind. Li Qingxiu just asked Widow Jia to wash the wooden basin with water.

When Widow Jia brought over the cleaned wooden basin, Li Qingxiu and her brother had already coated all the pork belly with medicinal powder.

Li Qingxiu divided half of the pork into another wooden basin, and added an appropriate amount of sugar, salt, wine and soy sauce to the two wooden basins.

Then they taught Widow Jia and Li Qingfeng to mix the pork and seasonings in the wooden basin so that the pork could better absorb the seasonings.

After they were finished, Li Qingxiu asked Widow Jia and Li Qingfeng to wash their hands, and she put the two wooden basins containing marinated pork into the underground cellar.

Widow Jia asked: "Is this done?"

Li Qingxiu answered while washing her hands: "How can it be so fast? This is the first step. After marinating for two days, it needs to be air-dried. It will take about seven or eight days to dry."

Widow Jia clicked her tongue when she heard this: "Tsk, tsk, tsk! It's so troublesome!"

Li Qingxiu smiled and said nothing, and packed the remaining meat in wooden barrels and moved it to the underground cellar. She waited for Widow Jia to leave before putting it all into fresh storage.
