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

The cut powder steamed in this way is still not as tough as the ones bought on the market, and it will easily become soft and break after soaking for a long time.

Zhao Yeqing picked up the bowl after eating and used chopsticks to pull up the broken rice noodles and the small ingredients at the bottom of the bowl and inhale them together.

The bright red oil stained her lips, and Mu Xi took a handkerchief and handed it to her to wipe her mouth.

"Are you full? Do you still want to eat the snails?"

Zhao Yeqing burped: "Eat!"

The snails are just a little bit of meat and don’t take up much space in your stomach, so of course you have to eat them.

The snail meat that Mu Xi had peeled off before was soaked in the rice noodles and soaked with the flavor of the snail noodles. It was difficult to taste the original flavor of this fried snail dish.

Mu Xi put a large plate of snails on the table. Zhao Yeqing skillfully pinched a snail with his index finger and thumb, and plugged the cut off tail of the snail with his middle finger.

Bring the snail to your mouth, suck hard with your lips, and release your middle finger slightly while sucking, and the complete snail meat will be sucked out.

When she was a child, this was one of the most common snacks for children in the mountains. She had already mastered the technique of sucking snails, and she never needed to use a toothpick.

Perilla and snails are a perfect match together. The special aroma makes the taste of the snails more layered, fresh and fragrant with a sweet aftertaste.

After finishing a plate of snails, he really couldn't take another bite.

There is still a lot of fried snails left, and there is also a lot of cooked snail rice noodles left in the soup base. There are pork bones and beef bones with meat in the soup pot that can be chewed.

Zhao Yeqing ate snail rice noodles today and would definitely eat them again tomorrow. When she went to take a shower, Mu Xi steamed a lot of rice noodles again. After cutting them out of the pot, he was worried that the noodles would stick together if left out for a long time. Add a little oil, mix, and put in the refrigerator to chill.

When you want to eat it tomorrow morning, heat up the soup, add seasonings, pour hot soup over it and you can eat it again.

This homemade snail noodle does not smell bad, and it is different from the smell that I bought in bags in the past. But what is equally troublesome is that even if it is not smelly, it still has a strong smell of snail noodle.

After Zhao Yeqing finished taking a bath, he asked Mu Xi to take a bath.

The popularity of snail noodles lasted for almost a week before gradually fading. Zhao Yeqing had already made up her mind on raising snails several times. If it weren't for the fact that she really had no experience in raising snails, she would have already started.

Fortunately, there were a lot of snails in the rice fields this year, so it was quite enjoyable. Mu Xi also went to the stream and picked up a lot of rock snails, and cooked a super concentrated snail soup base.

Divide it into small portions and freeze it into blocks in the refrigerator for later use. Even if there is no season for rock snails and field snails, you can use it to cook snail rice noodles.

The ducks in the incubator are ready to be released. In just one week, they have grown a lot. When they first arrived in the yard, they were too scared to run around.

Three days after they broke out of their shells, Zhao Yeqing changed their feed from half-cooked rice to small bugs. When the ducklings walked to the grass in the yard, they saw that the bugs already knew that this was their food, so they lowered their heads and kept chattering.

Zhao Yeqing was very satisfied when he saw the ten lively little ducks. He only hoped that they would grow up healthily and quickly expand the duck population.

After all, the only thing missing from her snail noodles was a tiger skin duck claw.

I remember that when I first went to Nanshi, Guangxi Province, I had a delicacy that was cooked with various ingredients in a soup base similar to snail noodles. The main ingredient was tiger skin and duck feet.

That delicacy is called snail and duck feet stew. The tiger skin duck feet inside have been stewed until they are soft and glutinous, falling off the bones. They melt in your mouth with just a sip.

Zhao Yeqing couldn't help but swallow as he thought about it.

"Watching a duck that's just over a week old swallow its saliva, it's really yours."

When Mu Xi came in from the backyard door and saw Zhao Yeqing's appearance, he shook his head and threw the newly cut sweet potato vines on the ground.

The sweet potato vines thrown on the ground were all relatively old, and he still had a handful of tender ones in his hand, planning to fry them tonight.

Zhao Yeqing looked at the number of sweet potato vines and estimated that they were not enough for the few pigs at home.

"The sows left here seem to be pregnant. If that doesn't work, let's kill the male first."

Zhao Yeqing was actually not too interested in the meat of these two boars, because these two boars were used to save seeds, so they had not been castrated before. He guessed that the pork would not taste that delicious and would also grow thin.

Pigs that have not been castrated will always have a more or less pig smell, and they are not very fat to eat. The boars that have been kept for breeding have only just over 100 kilograms, and the sows have already weighed nearly kilograms. .

The only things that can be killed in the pig pen now are two boars used for breeding and two pregnant sows. The remaining one is a boar that has been castrated and has not had time to be killed.

I have been eating so hard recently that I took out the remaining meat to make braised pork as a side dish for snail noodles, but I only emptied half of the refrigerator.

At most, the meat of one pig can only be put down.

"Then kill the castrated one first. If it can fit in the refrigerator, put it in the refrigerator first. If it can't fit, make bacon and sausage."

Let the castrated boars and the two pregnant sows continue to give birth. All the piglets born this year will be castrated. Anyway, the sows can give birth to four or five years, so let these two pairs continue to give birth.

The two of them are already familiar with slaughtering pigs, but now the weight of the pig is much larger. They are obviously boars. This castrated one weighs almost 200 kilograms like the sow, which is a whole year bigger than the boar next to it. lock up.

This time there was a little twist in killing the pig. When the pig was pulled out, it seemed to have realized something and kept struggling.

It took a lot of time to drag it out and knock it unconscious. At one point, it ran away and kicked over the rack in the yard where things were drying.

This pig is really fat, and the lard that was dug out is filled with white flowers in a small pot. Without this pig, pig feed will not be so tight in a short period of time.

There was one less companion around, and the pigs in the pig pen didn't seem to notice. When Zhao Yeqing went to throw the sweet potato vines into the pig pen, the pigs inside were still eating happily, and they didn't feel anything wrong at all when they were full and slept.

There were only four pigs left, and the hygiene in the pig pen had become a bit cleaner. The weather had become hot recently. After Mu Xi finished cleaning, he took down a few logs from the log walls around the pig pen and turned them into the lower half. The upper part of the fence is hollow.

All open areas of the barn are ventilated to prevent mosquitoes from breeding inside.

The rice had entered the stage of releasing water during the day and filling it at night. Zhao Yeqing stood at the edge of the field to drain water. As soon as he reached the water outlet at the edge of the field, something suddenly scurried out of the field, startling her and almost sitting down. In the water.

Before she could see clearly, the thing swished away in the water, splashing turbid water all the way.
