Who knows! As soon as I returned to the mountains to farm, I encountered a natural disaster.

It takes some time to get through this.

Mu Xi set up another pot next to him, put water and aniseed in it, and planned to stew the beef.

There are still a few hundred kilograms of beef left at home, so I braise a few dozen kilograms first, which will be more convenient for daily consumption.

The beef braised last time has been used up. When he has nothing to do, Zhao Yeqing will slice it and sprinkle some chili noodles as a snack, which is consumed very quickly.

Zhao Yeqing was slightly drowsy from cooking, and was startled awake by a shadow flashing outside the door.

She pointed at the door and before she spoke, Mu Xi knew what she meant. He took a piece of firewood from the door and opened the door.

There was nothing at the door, only a series of footprints.

It’s the felines from last time again.

Mu Xi closed the door and shook his head at Zhao Yeqing.

This cat is not that big, so it is not likely to attack the family's cattle and sheep. The chicken coop has two layers, inside and outside, so it can't eat it even if it wants to.

He probably wanted to steal some milk again.

Zhao Yeqing didn't guess what it was, and the spatula in his hand became easier and easier.

This is almost done.

The butter has been separated, and the entire kitchen is enveloped in the rich aroma of butter, like being in a baking room where butter cookies have just been baked.

Zhao Yeqing took an enamel bowl and scooped butter into it. After chewing five pounds of milk, he got less than one pound of butter.

If you use fresh milk to calculate, it takes fifty pounds of fresh milk to make about one pound of butter.

Pure natural butter without additives does not need to be refrigerated and will not go bad even in summer.

The golden butter was scooped out, leaving some milk residue at the bottom of the pot.

It is said to be milk dregs, but the texture is not powdery or dregs, but like sesame paste mixed with water or oil.

This is the by-product of making butter - sour oil.

I bought this sour oil when I was shopping for Mongolian specialties online. According to the store's introduction at the time, you need to mix the included fried rice with the sour oil, then refrigerate it and solidify it together before eating.

It's a pity that there is no fried rice now.

The Mongolian people use millet for fried rice, a kind of round yellow grain, which looks like yellow millet, but it is not the same thing.

The fried rice here uses glutinous rice, which is steamed and dried before being fried in oil.

Millet can be grown in arid areas, but the original owner did not have millet seeds at home.

Zhao Yeqing put the sour oil aside, thinking about making some glutinous rice version of fried rice another day and trying it with the sour oil.

Mu Xi's braised beef is also ready. This time, the braised part has a little bit of meat tendons. After braised, the tendons become soft and tender. He cuts a piece of it while it's still hot and feeds it to Zhao Yeqing.

After just eating the sweet milk chew, he went to eat some salty braised beef. The combination of sweet and salty made Zhao Yeqing feel very comfortable on his tongue.

In the past, when she used milk chews, she mostly used them to wipe bread. When she got tired of eating them, she asked the Mongolian online store owners what other ways to eat the milk chews.

The boss knew that she only used it to spread bread, so he was very excited and sent her a word document with 10,000 words, which was full of how to eat milk chews.

I also learned the method of refining butter there.

The two of them had freshly braised beef and pancakes baked with butter for dinner.

The addition of butter seems to have added a natural leavening agent, making the dough fluffy and soft. Served with beef and hot milk, you can also have a sweet and sour milk chew after the meal.

There is no doubt that it is delicious, and there is no doubt that it is high in calories.

The milk chews taste like yogurt, sour and sweet without being greasy, but they are a real calorie bomb.

After all, it is something that can be used to refine oil, and its fat content is as high as over 70%.

After eating and sucking this meal, Zhao Yeqing was still full at noon the next day.

Mu Xi went to milk the goat, and Zhao Yeqing went to the cow pen to milk the cow. This cow was very gentle and would not kick it even if it hurt accidentally.

Zhao Yeqing stopped after squeezing more than half of the bucket of milk. What was left was enough for the calf to feed the calf for a day.

Feed the cows and come out with a milk pail.

Guomu and Xuebing just came back from outside.

These two have been going out a lot lately, and sometimes they don't come back until two days.

Zhao Yeqing shook the bucket of milk in his hand and asked them, "Would you like some milk?"

Two leopards came over, rubbed against her legs and entered the room. This was a sign of rejection.

Zhao Yeqing put the milk away and walked into the original owner's house.

The place is rather cramped now, and it is full of things, mostly tools from the tool room. When it is free after a while, they will cut the wood back and build again.

There are always animals wandering around the house recently, and the two of them don't dare to go out for fear that they will be stolen when they return home from cutting down trees.

The temperature is rising steadily now, and it should be warmer in a few months. Zhao Yeqing wants to see what crops can be planted when spring begins.

We have grain seeds at home, including wheat and rice, and a lot of vegetable seeds. Some of them are packaged, and some are vegetable seeds left by farmers down the mountain. They are packed in plastic bags and have to be sorted and sorted.

Zhao Yeqing took out coriander and lettuce from it. These two vegetables are relatively cold-resistant. Coriander is delicious with mutton and beef. Lettuce needs to be cultivated in advance. The seedlings can be grown indoors at this temperature.

Lettuce seeds also need to be soaked in water in advance.

The manure in this season decomposes slowly, and Zhao Yeqing has to pay attention to it. Manure that is not well decomposed will grow worms and become moldy.

Prepare the soil for seedlings in the pot, wait until evening, soak the lettuce seeds and put them into the soil for planting.

Every day there is fresh milk left to drink, so it can only continue to ferment.

Zhao Yeqing looked at the fermented milk chews in the bucket and scooped it out to make milk tofu.

Milk tofu is very simple to make, almost all you need is hands. It is also very delicious. It has not spread because the conditions are rather harsh and it can only be made with fresh milk.

Put the milk chew into the pot and stir-fry over medium heat until the water inside evaporates. The milk inside will turn into a sticky state, a bit like mochi.

Remove and place in a bowl to cool.

If you have a square mold, put the milk tofu inside and shape it, so it will look more like a tofu cube.

After it solidifies, take it out, slice it, fry it in a pan until golden brown, and then eat it.

The preparation is similar to feta cheese, but much more delicious.

It tastes like dregs, but the prepared milk tofu can be drawn into strings, which is much more delicious than the stringy cheese I had before.

The milky flavor alone is not on the same level.

Mu Xi said: "Make the beef into smoked sausage and cut it into slices. Didn't you mention that you want to eat beef sausage pizza?"

Zhao Yeqing's eyes lit up when he heard this. He had flour to make pizza crust, cheese, and beef at home. Isn't making pizza simple?

She immediately wanted to see the oven at the back of the house that was originally built to make cakes for Mu Xi.

As soon as I walked out, a pink-brown figure appeared in front of me...
