Beginning Backpack [Farming]

Staying in the warm and spring-like home, the days passed extremely quickly. Before Shen Huaijin knew it, Linshanyuan ushered in the coldest moment.The continuous heavy snow did not weaken, but intensified. Silver snakes flew around, and the whole valley was completely white.

In the cold and desolate atmosphere, the tribe members chose to hide in the house, and only dared to come out to cook some hot food when there was some sunshine at noon, let alone visit relatives and friends.

In the valley, there was only the sound of heavy snow falling. Occasionally, patrolling orcs walked by, and the footprints they stepped on were covered by the freshly fallen snow after a few moments.

In such coldness and silence, Shen Huaijin's heart was very stable.The hot water burning on the stove was already bubbling, and the water vapor dyed the wall a dark color, and it also made his brows and eyes dizzy.

He blinked, brushing away the wetness.

Seeing that the wind and snow outside the window were less severe and the sun was shining brightly, Shen Huaijin planned to dig some frozen animal meat from the snow outside, and put it in the house to let it thaw slowly.

Li, who was delivering water and food to the hairy beasts and wild birds outside the house, heard the noise, finished the work neatly, and hurried to Shen Huaijin to help.

Shen Huaijin planed several times, his fingers were blue from the ice and snow, but his face was full of smiles, "Good guy, there is so much snow, the meat is almost gone."

Fortunately, the animal meat was basically piled up together. After they dug a corner, they directly dig out a large piece of ribs and a tenderloin. Shen Huaijin took it and threw it into the basket, and hurried back to the house.

The animal meat that had been frozen for a long time was covered with icicles. Shen Huaijin shook it off a little, then put the two large pieces of animal meat aside and let them thaw slowly at room temperature.

Li took out a pot of hot water, intending to send it to the hairy beast after cooling down a little.Hairy beasts are not as cold-resistant as wild birds. It is natural to spend more energy if they want them to survive safely in this situation and even allow their mothers to conceive naturally.

The orc was free for a while, leaning against the wall and watching Shen Huaijin wash his hands and tidy up the house seriously, his eyes were full of joy.He knocked on the salty pumpkin seeds and asked casually, "Jin, what are we eating today?"

It is not convenient to go out in the cold season, and there is not much work to do. They are all focused on eating at one bite.

"The animal meat I dug up today seems to be of good quality. I haven't stewed the soup for a long time. Why don't I eat stewed pork ribs with radishes. By the way, I haven't eaten the bacon that I dried a few days ago. I cut a piece for frying today. How about a pepper?" Shen Huaijin suggested, thinking of the taste, especially the taste of fried bacon with hot pepper, couldn't help but sip.

"Okay." With a smile in his eyes, the silver-haired orc put the melon seed plate in his hand aside, and stretched himself to get the radish.

They basically put the food they will use for the next few days at the entrance of the East Wing. The temperature there is neither too high nor too low, which is convenient for storage. However, the radishes are almost used up, so they have to get some more from the cellar.

It was cold outside, so Li didn't bother to make two extra trips, so he brought the hot water that had just been boiled to the hairy beast.The hot water is still hot, but it will cool down quickly outside. When it is transported to the circle, it is already at about the same temperature.

The hairy beasts bleat "bleat" and carefully lick the warm water.This period of time was indeed difficult, and they all seemed to have wilted a lot, but fortunately, they hadn't reached the point of getting sick.Li estimated that it wouldn't take many days for the weather to warm up, so he didn't tell Shen Huaijin about these things, so as not to worry him.

After getting the radish brought by Li Qian, Shen Huaijin had nothing else to do, so she slowly began to wash and chop vegetables.

If the conditions are ample, hot water is the most important thing. He uses the stream water mixed with hot water to wash things, so that he no longer has to be frozen by the biting cold water until his hands are blue and white like before.

At room temperature, the ice on the surface of the animal meat melted away and gradually softened. Seeing this, he washed his hands and began to cut the meat.

The sound of chopping ribs sounded again and again, attracting Shen Huaijin's attention. After taking a look, he put aside the crisp white radish that had been washed and cut into pieces, and fetched bacon and pepper.

Under the sunshine and breeze, the bacon that has been marinated for several months has become wrinkled. The oxidation and degradation of fatty acids allow the unique flavor to permeate the texture of the bacon little by little, and then exude from the inside out.In silence, the lean meat and skin part turned into a beautiful deep rose color, while the fat part became crystal clear.

Shen Huaijin first took some rice, rolled up his sleeves, cleaned the rice, and steamed it in a pot. The remaining rice washing water was used to wash the bacon.

He washed a whole piece of hard bacon in hot water for a while, and then soaked it in rice washing water.

At this time, Li had already chopped and washed the ribs and put them aside for later use. He looked at Shen Huaijin eagerly with his emerald green eyes.

Shen Huaijin sighed, and said helplessly, "Look at me, cook the ribs first."

"I want to be with you." Said the tall, burly orc with a fierce face.

"... Childish." Shen Huaijin was so speechless, "Don't try to be lazy."

The orc felt aggrieved, "I don't have it."

Under Shen Huaijin's death gaze, he quickly boiled water in the pot, put the pork ribs in after the water boiled, blanched it for a few minutes, scraped off the blood foam, then took out the pork ribs, cleaned them and set aside.

They also have a U-shaped cauldron that is specially used for stewing soup.Li put all the boiled pork ribs in, then poured boiling water to cover the ribs, then added sliced ​​scallions, ginger and an appropriate amount of salt according to Shen Huaijin's previous dosage, then covered the pot, and after the fire boiled, Bring to a slow simmer over medium-low heat.

At this point, Shen Huaijin's expression softened, and he let out a shallow hum from his nasal cavity, "Not bad, you can leave the teacher."

A simple and honest smile appeared on the face of the orc, showing just the right amount of flattery, "Jin, thanks to your good teaching."

"Then it's all up to you."

The expression on Li's face froze, and he was stunned for a while before he let out an aggrieved "Oh".

Shen Huaijin went back to wash the bacon in the rice water, rubbing off the dust and dirt on its surface.At an angle that Li couldn't see, the corners of his lips rose slightly.

Because it has not been smoked with firewood, the washed bacon can be used for cooking after being dried slightly.

The meat of the big-eared beast is plump and has a lot of fat. In order to prevent it from being greasy to eat, Shen Huaijin first cut the bacon into thin slices with a sharp kitchen knife.

Since the bacon itself is easy to produce oil when fried, Shen Huaijin only poured a small amount of animal oil into the pot. After heating the oil, add the bacon and stir-fry first, and whip the fat part slightly dry.

Seeing that the original bright yellow fat part became gradually transparent, and the unique flavor of oil and bacon overflowed, Shen Huaijin pushed the meat to the edge of the pot, poured the fried oil into the bottom of the pot, and then put the meat in the pot On one side, let the fried oil gather and flow to the bottom of the pot, then pour in pepper, ginger and garlic and a little salt, and stir-fry over high heat.

After the chili was fried, the taste was even more overbearing. Shen Huaijin took a deep breath, let out a "wow", and then mixed the bacon and pepper and stir-fried to let their fragrance blend together.

Put some scallions in the pot before frying thoroughly, and stir-fry twice to start the pot.

"It tastes delicious when it smells." Shen Huaijin yelled loudly, and resisted trying not to taste it, "This meal is definitely a must."

The ribs at the other end were also almost stewed.Li lifted the lid of the pot, poured all the chopped white radishes into it, and continued to simmer over medium heat.

When it's about the same time, sprinkle some emerald green onions on it, and you don't need to put it out, you can eat it with a pot.

Seeing this, Shen Huaijin hurriedly took out the prepared rice as well.They don't have much rice. If they want to eat until the next harvest, they can't eat as much as they want, especially the orcs. Therefore, they can only eat one bowl for a meal. The main thing to fill their stomachs Or rely on other food.

The meals were brought to the small table, and the two sat facing each other, with the hot steam of the soup curling up in the middle.

Shen Huaijin couldn't hold back any longer when he smelled the smell, he urged with bright eyes, "Come and taste this bacon."

Before he finished speaking, he clipped a slice for himself first.

The bacon tastes salty and has a unique flavor. The lean meat is lean but not woody and has a clear texture. Before cooking, the fat part becomes transparent and crystal clear. Because the whip has been dried, it does not feel excess greasy. The taste turned out to be soft and sticky.

The bacon is not only fragrant, but also mixed with a spicy taste during the stir-fry process, which makes the mouth water when it smells, not to mention the feeling when the taste splashes on the tip of the tongue.

Shen Huaijin took another two slices of bacon and a few peppers, mixed with the fluffy rice and took a big bite. The hot and salty taste made him sweaty and reluctant to stop.

Seeing this, Li hurriedly served him a bowl of hot soup.

The soup is clear, with some golden oil particles and emerald green onion floating on the surface, which is attractive to look at.Shen Huaijin drank a mouthful of the fragrant soup first, then went to scoop up the ingredients inside.The radishes are soft and sweet, and the pork ribs are also stewed until they are soft and delicious. The bones fall off after a light sip, as if they are about to melt directly in the mouth.

He couldn't help but poured himself another bowl, drank tons and tons, and could only lean on the back of the chair after the meal, touching his round belly, and lamented, "I ate too much again."

The orc on the opposite side drank the soup and cleaned up the rest of the food, "What's the matter, everyone will gain weight during the cold season, otherwise we won't be able to get through this time, and then we will be fine."

Shen Huaijin squeezed the flesh on her stomach, recalling the lean muscles that used to cover it, she wanted to cry, "That being said, but judging from the situation, it may be difficult to lose my flesh."

Li put away the bowls and chopsticks, and said, "Don't worry, I will urge you."

"Tch." Shen Huaijin curled her lips, "Don't bring any private goods with you."

"what does that mean?"

"I won't tell you." Shen Huaijin smiled slightly, stood up and stretched, and walked briskly back to the bedroom.

Although she had gained some weight, she couldn't resist the drowsiness after eating a full meal. Shen Huaijin wiped her face a little, and wanted to lie down and sleep after climbing up the pit.

Li, who had cleaned up the stove, walked in, seeing his appearance, he knew what was going on.Li knew that Shen Huaijin, who had a hot kang, thought he was too hot in a beastly state, so he turned into a half-beast and went on the kang.

The thick and long tail encircled Shen Huaijin, and carefully laid him down on the bed. Some hard hairs on it brought a slight itchiness.Shen Huaijin reluctantly opened her eyes to take a look, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, clutching a flexible silver wolf ear, fell into a deep sleep.
