It is not easy to traverse the wilderness

The heavy snow that filled the sky finally showed signs of stopping. The snow stopped falling in large groups, and the sun began to show slightly in the clouds.

People in the tribe began to go out to sweep the snow off the roof of their houses. Song Lai found that basically every house had a broom-like tool made of bamboo twigs. When did it happen, everyone used this tool to sweep their yards clean, and then put all the snow into Zhongxi Lake. The central lake is so big that there is so much snow piled in, and it doesn’t look like there is much snow.

After working for a long time, I finally saw the leaked ground.Near the afternoon, every household started to light a fire to cook, smoke began to come out of the chimney, and people who were still sweeping snow in the yard also brought firewood into the house one after another.After Song Lai cleaned up his yard, he also went back to his room to cook.Walking into the foyer, Oss was playing with the baby and Xiaoxiao. Now Xiaoxiao finally reconciled with Oss, and was no longer as nervous as before seeing Oss like seeing a monster.The baby is more than one year old and can walk with a toddler.Song Lai dressed her thickly, and put pads on the easily broken parts, and let her run away by herself.Fortunately, with Oss watching, nothing went wrong.

Song Lai lit up the fire in the stove.Seeing the soaked kelp and thinking about how to eat this meal, An Ye brought a half-meter-long big fish into the house, put the fish in front of Song Lai and looked at him without saying a word.Song Lai raised his eyes to look at An Ye, then lowered his head to look at the fish, he wanted to eat some fresh meat.Oss led the baby into the kitchen leisurely, "Oh, live fish, are they from the central lake? It's amazing that the fish in the central lake can grow so big. This fish is enough for us to eat for a meal." After speaking, he took the baby's hand to touch the struggling fish, as if he didn't see the kelp on the side.

The baby has been raised by Song Lai all the time, and it doesn't look like a lady brought up by modern civilized people, but more like a little savage brought up by savages. Back then, even the little one could be crushed under him, let alone the one who was jumping in front of him. Fish, keep poking it once and for all, watching the fish keep jumping and jumping, I am laughing and laughing.

"It's not from the central lake, it's from the big lake. Song Lai said that the fish from the central lake will be eaten after next year." An Ye explained on the side, no wonder he didn't mention An Ye's when he just cleared the snow. Going to get something delicious, it seems that he has been a little depressed for eating sweet potatoes recently, and ran out to get a fish as soon as the sun cleared.

Song Lai looked at this big family, his head was so big, they were all a group of carnivorous animals, "An Ye stay here, the others go out, otherwise this meal will have to be eaten after dark at night." Hearing Lunch was going to be changed to dinner, Oss immediately hugged the giggling baby, led Xiaoxiao out of the kitchen, leaving Song Lai and An Ye toiled inside.

Hearing that Song Lai asked him to stay, An Ye's eyes showed some smiles, and without Song Lai's orders, he picked up the big fish and went aside to clean it up.Scrape off the fish scales and put them in a small basin to wash. After washing them, put them in a small pottery pot, add water, and then put them on a commonly used stove to simmer.The kitchen of Song Lai's house was carefully designed by Song Lai. There are three stoves in total, which supply heat for all the rooms. Usually, only two are used. Song Lai and Aussie use one for their bedrooms, and the other one is in charge of the bathroom and kitchen. For heating, the ones that are not commonly used are for the baby’s room and the guest room. Now the baby’s room and the guest room are unoccupied. The stove usually does not turn on the fire. It just lets the two commonly used stoves share a little hot smoke, making the room a bit Get angry.

There are a total of four holes on the two stoves that are often used. When not in use, they are covered with pottery lids, or placed in pottery pots to boil some boiling water.Song Lai does not allow people in his family to drink raw water. Although there is no pollution now, the water here is mostly mountain spring water or ground water, but there are relatively many microorganisms, so Song Lai is still worried about everyone drinking raw water. Conditional Keep boiling water for everyone to drink.Anyway, the fire in the stove cannot be extinguished in this weather.I'm saying that although it's not very convenient to take a bath now, it's quite happy to wash my feet at night.

The fish scales in the earthenware pot had already boiled, and they were making non-stop gurgles. Song Lai, who had just returned from the warehouse, carried some sour bamboo shoots in one hand and some bacon in the other.After putting the sour bamboo shoots and bacon away, Song Lai went to the fish scale pot, added some salt and pepper to the fish scale pot, then cut the sour bamboo shoots into thin shreds and soaked them in clear water, "Don't chop the fish meat , Let’s eat hot pot today.” An Ye has no idea what hot pot is, anyway, he can’t understand Song Lai when he speaks, as long as it doesn’t affect the communication, An Ye usually won’t take the initiative to ask what Song Lai is talking about mean.

An Ye washed the fish, took out the dirty fish washing water from the bamboo bucket and poured it out, and went back to the kitchen to sit quietly and light the fire. "Go find the bamboo charcoal I put in the warehouse, and the hot pot I cooked a while ago, that pot with a big belly." Song Lai ordered An Ye while slicing fish fillets, and An Ye got up. He went to the warehouse to find the things Song Ling needed.After a while, he returned to the kitchen with these two things, "Hey, don't put it here, put it in... put it in Oss's room, and take the kang table in our room." Song Lai thought that although the hot pot is delicious , but the smell in the room will not dissipate after eating the hot pot. It is not impossible to eat in the kitchen, but it is not as comfortable to eat on the kang.Since I can no longer eat it on my own kang, isn’t there still Aussie, haha ​​I ate it on his kang.

Slice all the fish meat, leaving two large sheets of fish skin and some fish bones. Put the fish bones and bacon together in a room pot to cook soup. Cut the fish skin into small rectangular pieces and rub them with salt to remove the mucus on the fish skin. , then put it in water and cook for three to five minutes, take it out and stir it with the shredded sour bamboo shoots just now, add some salt and pepper powder and onion shreds, and a plate of cold fish skin will be ready.The sour bamboo shoots that Song Lai brought over were marinated after winter was approaching. There were two devil fruits in them, which were peppers, so the sour bamboo shoots had a slightly spicy taste.Although there are no other condiments, the fish skin is sour and spicy because of the sour bamboo shoots, and with onions and peppers, it is fragile and delicious in the mouth, and the sour, spicy and spicy taste is also very appetizing.

The hot pot soup had already turned white, Song Lai went to the warehouse to get some scallops and sea prawns, and after thinking about it, he bought some slightly spicy cucumbers and cucumbers that were not spicy at all.Then I went to get some sweet potatoes.Take everything to the kitchen, first wash and slice the kelp that was prepared for lunch, slice the sour bamboo shoots, then put the scallops and sea shrimp into the pot, and then slice the cucumbers, spicy and non-spicy Divide into two plates, wash and peel sweet potatoes and slice.The fish offal was also cleaned and put on a plate, and finally the remaining bacon was sliced ​​and put on a plate.

"Can you bring these to Oss's room too? I don't know how to handle your pot. Go and see if I pretended it right." The pottery hot pot Song Lai made was based on his impressions. There is a pot with a big belly sitting on the bottom stove. Anyway, it looks like a modern charcoal hot pot from the outside. Fortunately, it is not too complicated. Although it does not look good, it is easy to use.

Song Lai and An Ye took all their things to Oss's room, Oss had already sat on the kang with the baby in his arms and waited for the meal to be served, and Xiaoxiao was lying on the mat on the floor of the room in a very regular manner, just putting his own food The basin was placed in a conspicuous place, and it was not known whether he put it himself or Aussie helped him put it.Song Lai thought that Oss would object to him raising Xiaoxiao, but Aussie didn't say much when he saw Xiaoxiao.

Put bamboo charcoal in the hot pot and light it up, add the boiled soup, put the fish and bacon into the pot, and Song Lai called everyone to wash their hands.

The first thing Oss did when he first came to this house was to be dragged into the bathroom by Song Lai and take a good bath in the bamboo bathtub.Not only Oss couldn't bear to look back on that experience, even Song Lai didn't want to think about it.Then wash your hands before and after meals.Song Lai sometimes hides after going to the bathroom without being able to see, but Song Lai watches very closely before meals.Gradually, Oss also got used to some small requirements of Song Lai in terms of living habits.

Because there was no sesame paste, Song Lai made the soup at the bottom of the pot salty, because there were fish and seafood, and bacon was added, so the soup was very rich, as long as the meat was cooked, it would be delicious, because the pot still Before it was open, Song Lai invited everyone to eat cold fish skin as an appetizer. The baby was not afraid of spicy food at all, so he grabbed a sour bamboo shoot and stuffed it into his mouth. Scared Song Lai hurried to grab it, but he ran away laughing, and then I finished eating all the bamboo shoots in my hand.

Seeing Xiaoxiao obediently lying on the mat on the ground, Song Lai picked out the bacon bones from the soup pot and put them in its food bowl, the little thing immediately pounced on it, gnawing vigorously.

After the pot boiled, Song Lai began to put things in everyone's bowls, and then continued to put meat and vegetables into the pot.Oss had a few words with Song Lai Anye at the beginning, but after seeing that everyone was eating in silence, he started to eat without making a sound.In the end, it didn't matter if he ate so hard, Song Lai obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of serving the dishes.In the end, I had to add some more soup, and then poured all the vegetables into the pot.

A large fish more than half a meter long was wiped out in a lunch.This meal was eaten until the sky started to get a little dark.The wind started to blow outside, and the wind whizzed past with snowflakes, and there was a whining sound from time to time.Song Lai saw that everyone was eating on the kang and didn't want to move, so he had to clean up silently. He was really a bunch of foodies who had never seen delicious food before.Such a big fish, two large plates of kelp, some vegetables, four large sweet potatoes, and a pork leg of bacon.He even ate the whole meal.

"Get up and move around, you guys have eaten too much." Song Lai asked them to get up and move while tidying up. They might not be able to digest the food if they ate too much. Song Lai found out the ones he had pickled. pick out a kind of slightly sour jam, brew it with boiling water and bring it to the room.Everyone poured a cup out of a bamboo cup and put it at their hand.

While drinking fruit tea, Oss listened to the strong wind howling outside, "Oh, this is the life of the gods, right?!" After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked at Song Lai, who was busy on the ground.Hearing Aussie's emotion, Song Lai stopped what he was doing and squinted at Aussie, "Do you know what an ignorant person like you is called in the place where I used to live? Turtle!" After finishing speaking, he smiled smugly down.Oss obviously had never heard of the term "soil turtle", but seeing Song Lai's appearance, he knew that it was not a good word, so he gave Song Lai a snort and turned away to look at him.

As a result, An Ye took all the work in Song Lai's hands back to the kitchen, and there was basically no food left.The remaining piles of dishes and pots are washed and placed in a fixed position.Song Lai's attention to some details always made An Ye a little helpless, but it was these details that made his life more stable and beautiful.

The fish scale soup in the kitchen pot was stewed just right, Song Lai added more water, and when the soup boiled again, put in some sour bamboo shoots and shredded cucumber, and poured it into a clay pot to cool down. If you are full, you will still be hungry at night. After the fish scale soup is cooled into fish scale jelly, it can be used for dinner. After all, it is not good to eat too much at night.Pamper your stomach with these little snack pads.
