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

With butter at home, baking cookies or cakes becomes very easy.

But in the end, Zhao Yeqing didn't make whey cookies.

Because in the afternoon, when the calf finished drinking milk, Mu Xi squeezed out the milk and placed a large bucket of milk in front of her.

There is too much milk, and it is impossible to use or drink it all. Before thinking about consuming whey, it is better to think about how to consume the milk first.

The calves are almost ready to be weaned and fed feed.

This means that there will be more and more milk at home. Three months after giving birth, the cow will usher in the lactation period, when milk production is at its highest.

Since the cow gave birth, there was so much milk every day that the two of them couldn't finish it, so they had to leave it to ferment and then refine it into by-products such as cheese or butter.

Zhao Yeqing poured half of the newly squeezed milk into the pot, added sugar and boiled it.

While simmering, stir gently.

"In these two days, let's plan out the area for growing vegetables."

Originally, when they first arrived here last year, the two of them were still thinking about finding a way to go back, but the family didn't make a good plan and only grew vegetables casually.

Even in the house, we finally decided to build a new house when we saw that the weather was getting colder.

But with the current situation, I don’t know when it will be when I go back. Whether it’s eating vegetables or growing rice, wheat and other staple foods, the family must be well prepared.

The small vegetable plot behind the house continues to be used to grow crops such as onions, ginger, and garlic.

Outside the fence at the back of the yard, a piece of land can be expanded to grow some vegetables.

Just like when I was in Meishan before, there were vegetable plots inside and outside the yard.

Thinking about her old house, she blurted out, "How about we build a wall around our house."

There are no less dangers on the meadow than in the mountains, not to mention that the two of them have encountered wolves, and the two have also formed a feud.

The more I think about it, the more necessary it becomes.

Now that the snow has not melted, pull back the red mud and do as before, surrounding the outside of the house with bricks. The newly planned large vegetable plot outside will not be bricked. If there is still space after the home wall is completed, then we can Consider a vegetable garden wall.

Only making bricks is more troublesome. Even making big red bricks takes a lot of time.

Mu Xi pondered for a moment and said, "We can make cement boards."

After that, he walked back to the room and took out the pen and paper to draw pictures.

"I have seen it before. Some farmers used this kind of cement board to quickly assemble a fence when building their farms. When not in use, they can be dismantled and assembled in another place."

As he spoke, he drew a picture on the paper, "Look, just pour the cement into the same size. In addition to the cement board, you also need several columns and a base buried in the soil. The columns and the base have tongue and grooves. When the time comes, just put them in Just stick the cement board in."

Zhao Yeqing looked at the drawings and felt that it was feasible, "Then we just need to make a few molds and finally put the boards together."

This method is much simpler than making red bricks.

Although it may not be very strong, and it will definitely not be able to withstand a fierce beast crashing into it, but even if it is made of red bricks, it probably won't be able to withstand it.

Under normal circumstances, animals have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If they see a wall blocking the way, as long as it is not a matter of mortal hatred or madness, they will not really hit the wall with all their strength.

Moreover, the cement board is smooth enough. If nothing else, at least there won't be a snake running into the bathroom like before.

She was a little excited and was about to perfect the drawing when she suddenly remembered the pot she was boiling and hurried over to take a look.

Fortunately, it wasn't burnt. The milk moisture in the pot had almost evaporated. After mixing with the sugar, what was left was a light yellow viscous liquid - condensed milk.

Zhao Yeqing took out the condensed milk and put the oil pan on the stand.

This oil has been used to fry things several times, and it cannot be used again if it is fried again.

This oil had already been washed once with starch, and now it was black. Using it again would be too much, and she was afraid something would go wrong.

Mainly, the oil used for cooking at home is beef tallow, mutton fat or butter. The existing vegetable oil is enough to support her growing rapeseed flowers.

When the time comes, as Mu Xi said before, he will make the oil-pressing tool in his memory, and the family will no longer be short of oil.

When the oil temperature rose slightly, Zhao Yeqing put the milk steamed buns he had made before and deep-fried them.

The oil temperature should not be too high, otherwise it will fry as soon as you put it in.

Now the oil is just hot, put the steamed buns in, flip them with chopsticks and fry slowly.

In order to consume the milk, she made steamed buns before. Both of them gave priority to eating the steamed buns with milk. After eating the steamed buns, they used the milk to make milk steamed buns.

The oil in the pot gradually heats up, and the skin of the steamed buns gradually turns golden. When it looks almost done, take it out and filter the oil.

Zhao Yeqing fried a full plate of milk buns that were only three fingers wide. After draining the excess oil, he called Mu Xi over who was drawing a blueprint.

Passing the chopsticks to him, "Be careful of burning them."

She didn’t prepare any pickles, so of course the golden steamed buns had to be paired with condensed milk. She had already locked up the CP of these two.

The skin of the golden steamed buns is already crispy and crispy, and there is nothing unpalatable about the fried carbohydrates, whether it is fried steamed buns or deep-fried dough sticks and pancakes.

Coated with sweet condensed milk, she was tired of saying the word delicious.

Mu Xi loves sweets, and this combination suited his taste perfectly. The two of them finished off a large plate of steamed buns.

That night, the two of them finalized the mold drawings of the cement board. Early the next morning, Mu Xi took Xiaohong out to cut down trees.

Zhao Yeqing also got up. Mu Xi was going to cut down trees, and she couldn't be lazy anymore. She had to feed the cows, sheep, and chickens.

After feeding all the animals in the house, you still have to deal with the fermented milk.

A batch of milk is fermented at home every few days. Now that the weather is not hot yet, I will store it until there is enough and make it into by-products.

Before the butter was boiled, Mu Xi came back with Xiao Hong in hand.

Saw boards in the yard and make molds according to the drawings.

The aroma of butter wafted out from the kitchen, and Mu Xi heard his stomach growl. Then he looked at the time and found that it was already past lunch time.

Zhao Yeqing probably forgot about it because he was busy. He took off his gloves and walked into the kitchen to make something to eat.

When I entered, I saw Zhao Yeqing cutting something.

Hearing his footsteps, he turned around and said, "Is the mold ready?"

"It's almost there, just the final groove is left."

He answered and walked closer, realizing that what she was cutting was beef. A large piece of beef tendon was cut into small pieces.

"I thought the weather was going to get hotter soon, and the beef had to be processed quickly. Most of it has already been made into jerky and bacon. I thought about this piece of beef tendon, so I chopped it up and made it into sausage."
