Another World Baixin

Chapter 40 Chapter 40

In the Lin family's yard, Bai Xin and Chang Liushui were handling the prey, while Lin Xun directed them from the side.

Hearing from the villagers that Shan Li’s meat is delicious and edible, Lin Xun decided to keep it; the wolf’s skin was poked with many holes, and Uncle Lin didn’t like it, so he asked Bai Xin to get rid of the wolf and the two hares— —Or sell or eat whatever you want.Therefore, Chang Liushui asked for wolf skin and rabbit skin, and planned to sew small items to keep out the cold.

Now that summer is approaching, the weather is getting drier and hotter, and the taste of fresh meat will definitely change tomorrow; even if the wind blows today and it turns cold, it will affect the taste of the meat if it is left overnight.And so much meat is not easy to put in Jingli town.Lin Xun is not a person who doesn't care about food and grains, so he knows these principles, and immediately hired a bullock cart from the village to send the meat to the town for sale.

Although there are quite a few families with two-wheeled carts in the village, the number of cattle is pitifully small, and most families have to spend manpower to pull the carts to carry goods and deliver things.The man who drove Lin Xun's ox cart was named Bai Shulin, an old man with gray temples, he was a man of few words and didn't gossip, when he came to the door of Lin's house, he saw Bai Xin and the others loaded into the cart against a wolf, so he didn't ask much.

Bai Xin and Chang Liushui were left behind, and Lin Xun sat alone behind the cart, surrounded by a pile of meat. The shopkeeper of the Tongji Inn in the town was his man, and the meat could be sent there directly.At this time, Lin Xun regretted that he did not bring a servant and did not prepare a carriage.

The two children watched Uncle Lin leave, then returned to the Lin family's yard to clean up the mess, fed the chickens and ducks and locked them in the shed before returning to their parents' home.Since Uncle Lin went to town at this hour, he probably won't be able to come back tonight, and they don't have to wait for him at Lin's house.Uncle Lin left half of Shan Li for Bai Xin to take back, although Bai Xin really wanted to sell this half as well—it could be exchanged for a lot of money.

Seeing the meat they brought back, Mrs. Qin learned that Lin Xun gave them a share, and said, "Cut a piece and stew it at night, and I will make the rest into minced meat. When your Uncle Lin comes back, let him taste it too." my craft."

After Chang Liushui listened, he stared at Shan Lirou with piercing eyes. Bai Xin suspected that he would drool immediately.

The Qin family said that they made minced meat, but Bai Xin didn't realize it, and just thought it was a special snack.I saw that she cut a few pieces of lean meat from Shanli's legs, ribs, etc., washed them and cut them into small pieces, put them in a crock pot, added dried mushrooms and ginger and other ingredients, and then poured a small amount of water (the amount of water should not be empty) over a piece of meat).After the earthen pot was covered, Qin took out an old iron pot from nowhere, put the earthen pot into the pot, filled it with sand, and wrapped it around the earthen pot.The last thing is to get it on the stove and burn it for about an hour.

Next, Qin's took care of the remaining meat, and Chang Liushui immediately went over to help; while Bai Xin was in charge of lighting the fire.Since there were only two stoves in the Chang family's kitchen, one was in use and the other was cooking dinner, so Qin put the meat aside after finishing the meal, and continued after the meal.

An hour later, the roasted Shanli meat was cooked, and the aroma was overflowing. Bai Xin and Chang Liushui were so hungry that even Qin's stomach was aroused.Lifting the lid of the earthen pot, the steam came up, Qin poked the meat inside with chopsticks, and then picked up a piece for each of the two children, "Taste first to see if the taste is salty, eat slowly, it's very hot!"

Ah Shui was afraid of being hot, so after listening to Qin Shi's words, she bit the meat in small bites.

On the other hand, Bai Xin stuffed it into his mouth and chewed excitedly.Qin was startled, and hurriedly patted his neck and urged, "Spit it out quickly! Your tongue will be scalded!"

After chewing the meat a few times, Bai Xin swallowed it, and quickly grinned at Qin Shi for her to check, and said, "I'm not afraid of being scalded! Look, I'm fine! Hehe!" Qin Shi really carefully turned his mouth and He gritted his teeth, seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, so he felt relieved, couldn't help but pinch him and pretended to be angry: "No matter how urgent you are, it's okay this time, it's hard to guarantee that it will burn next time! There's a lot of meat, Enough to stretch your little belly!"

"Haha!" Chang Liushui looked at Bai Xin's belly, imagining how his belly would bulge.Seeing him gloating and laughing at herself, Bai Xin was really depressed.

For dinner, a family of three ate Shanli meat, and each ate half a bowl of rice and half a bowl of steamed sweet potatoes.Shanli meat is baked by Qin's in this way. It is soft and rotten, easy to chew, and has a grilled flavor, but it is less angry than direct roasting; there is very little broth, and it is very delicious when mixed with dry rice .

Bai Xin was used to being poor in his previous life, and he is also poor in this life. He developed the habit of being greedy but reluctant to eat; rice was mixed with gravy, and when the rice was finished, there was a little juice left at the bottom of the bowl. He took a piece of steamed sweet potato and rinsed it in the bowl. Rinse it again to rinse off the gravy.Qin Shi saw this in her eyes and didn't say anything. If it were long running water, she would have already tapped it with a chopstick to start the training.Although she didn't say anything at this time, it didn't mean that she just let it go. She secretly wrote it down and only waited for Lin Xun to come back and tell him.

After the meal, Bai Xin washed the dishes, and when he cleaned the pot, Qin put the remaining Shanli meat that had been processed into the pot and cooked it together with the ginger that had removed the fishy smell.The wind outside the house was strong again, blowing loudly.In the kitchen, after the meat is boiled, take it out and use a stone mill to grind it into silk, then pour it into the pot again, add salt and sauce, stir-fry to collect the juice, and stir-fry until it has a light burnt aroma. , then nodded with satisfaction, "It's done! Ah Shui, bring me a jar."

Bai Xin, who had been burning all night, came over to take a look. Isn't this meat floss?Qin gave him a bite to taste, and the taste was indeed similar to meat floss, it was just called differently.

Chang Liushui only ate meat velvet when he was very young, but he hadn’t tasted it for several years, and I really missed it.Qin Shi told him and Bai Xin not to eat too much, it was time to rest soon, and eating too much would cause food accumulation.The two children had to respond.He also heard the Qin family say with nostalgia: "Meat velvet is the ancestral food of our elder family. It is said that an elder in the ancestors has foreign blood. This elder's hometown is good at raising cattle and sheep. Every year during the slaughter season, a batch of cattle and sheep are slaughtered. There is too much meat to eat, so I tried to make meat fluff, which can be preserved for a period of time."

Suddenly a thought turned in Bai Xin's mind, and Bai Xin hurriedly asked Qin: "Aside from our family and foreigners, is there anyone else who can make this meat velvet?"

Mrs. Qin hesitated a little, and after thinking carefully, she replied, "Except for the three villages where the accident occurred last year, the nearby villages are relatively poor. I haven't seen any for sale."

Immediately, Bai Xin jumped up excitedly, but his head hit the basket hanging above.Seeing that he wasn't hurt, Mrs. Qin reprimanded him, "You sleazy, watch your words and deeds whenever you go outside! Dad's family law is not only against Ah Shui, you want to try it too?!"

Bai Xin shook his head again and again in a fright, Qin finally let him go.

After washing, the young couple lay on the bed, Chang Liushui turned around to face Bai Xin, and asked him: "Just now in the kitchen, what were you thinking?"

Bai Xin also turned to look at him, smiling unabated: "We have all eaten the mincemeat made by Dad, and it tastes delicious. Besides, this is not sold outside, and I don't even know if there is anyone who can make this! "

Ah Shui asked in surprise, "What do you mean, Dad makes minced meat at home, and we sell it in the town?"

Bai Xin couldn't help leaning over and kissing him on the face, and praised: "It's so smart! This is it! Chicken, duck, fish, pig, beef, sheep, etc. should all be made into mincemeat. Uncle Lin's house has so many chickens and ducks, so we won't sell eggs in the future." They are all hatched and raised to make mincemeat! If there is not enough, you can buy it from the villagers, let alone hunt wild animals from the mountains. Otherwise, we can go directly to the town to buy ready-made pork and fish meat, which is also convenient easy."

"What if it's not easy to sell?" Chang Liushui was not at ease.

"Hey," Bai Xin said rather cunningly, "I've inquired about it. Every time A Dong who comes to Uncle Lin's house to deliver things is a guy at the Tongji Inn in the town. It can be seen that Uncle Lin is familiar with that inn. The inn's business is good every day. Entrusting them to sell things is also a good way! Of course, in my opinion, our meat velvet will definitely sell well!"

Chang Liushui couldn't think of any other questions, so he agreed for now.The two stopped talking and both fell asleep.

When I woke up in the morning, it was unexpectedly sunny outside, the wind stopped, and it was slightly hotter than yesterday.

Now Bai Xin doesn't have to go out to collect food for chickens and ducks every day before dawn. During the Chinese New Year, the sweet potatoes that Bai Xin harvested in his own field were eaten by his elders, while those grown in Uncle Lin's field were all left for the chickens and ducks— — Lin Xun said: "Why eat sweet potatoes when you can afford white rice? Anyway, you don't have to hide it from Ah Xin." You can also pick some of the vegetables grown by the Qin family.

After breakfast, Bai Xin went to Lin's house. However, he waited all morning and cleaned up Lin Xun's housework, but he still didn't come back.Bai Xin was not surprised either. Uncle Lin would occasionally go out for a few days without returning.After going back to eat at noon, they went to the field with Ah Shui.The rice planted in the spring is now flowering and will soon bear ears, so pay attention to watering.

Before coming out, Qin reminded them to remember the drainage problem of the rice field, because there might be a storm tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.It turns out that when the wind blows in the past two days, the weather will be cold. All experienced old people know that there is a storm coming from the sea. Although the wind has stopped and the clouds have stopped today, it is very likely that the storm has arrived.

The two went to the field.There used to be a drainage ditch dug by Lin Xun between the two fields, but now it is gradually filled with soil, and the ditch has become shallower. Bai Xin dug it deeper, and buried a stone at the water inlet and outlet of the two rice fields respectively. If it exceeds the height of the stone, it will flow out so as not to drown the seedlings.

The weather changes as it says, and suddenly, the wind and cloud change color, and the dark clouds overwhelm the top.Bai Xin hurriedly took the farm tools and rushed back with the long flowing water.Fortunately, Bai Xin ran fast. As soon as he entered the house, it seemed that someone had turned on a shower nozzle in the sky to take a shower. When the rainwater fell on the roof, there was a clear and clear beating sound of "drip, drip, drip" and then it immediately turned into a "squeak". sound of water.

The three members of the elder family sat at the entrance of the hall, and Mrs. Qin took out needles and threads to make clothes for Bai Xin——Bai Xin has grown rapidly recently, and the clothes will soon be shortened.Chang Liushui also worked with the Qin family, leaving only Bai Xin idle.He looked left and right, took out a few larger wooden barrels and put them in the place where the water accumulated heavily under the eaves outside the door to catch water, so as to prevent the ground from being washed away by the rain and damage the foundation.

The wind blows the rain to the west and east, and the rain has no intention of falling at all.Bai Xin suddenly thought of the hut where the Lin family kept chickens and ducks, and was afraid that they would not be able to withstand the wind and rain.The five ducks raised by the Chang's family were locked up in the house by the Qin family, and Bai Xin ignored the Lin family's side for a while without seeing them.

Bai Xin immediately took the coir raincoat and put it on, and changed into a pair of straw sandals.Seeing Chang Liushui, he asked strangely, "Ah Xin, what are you doing?"

Bai Xin said: "I'll go to Uncle Lin's house to have a look. The rain is so heavy that the duck pen may not be able to stop it."

Qin Shi was also surprised, but seeing the situation outside, she hesitated and said, "Wait until the rain calms down before going out! It's too dangerous for you to go out when it's raining so hard!"

Bai Xin is not afraid, "If the duck pen falls down and the chickens and ducks are held down, the loss will be great. Go there and have a look at it early to rest assured."

"Otherwise I'll go, you and Ah Shui stay at home." Qin Shi said putting down her needle and thread and wanted to get the coir raincoat, but was stopped by Bai Xin and Chang Liushui.I only heard Chang Liushui say: "Dad, did you forget that you were seriously ill last year? What can you tell me and Ah Xin to do if you get sick again after going out in the rain? Of course, it's better for me to go there with him."

When he said that, the Qin family hesitated, because the whole family would suffer after a single illness.But Bai Xin didn't want Chang Liushui to go out, so he said to him: "I'll go there first. After an hour, the rain will get lighter and I haven't come back. You can go to me again. If the rain gets heavier, I will sleep at Uncle Lin's house. "

What else did Chang Liushui want to say, Bai Xin patted his head and smiled slightly: "Be obedient!" Sure enough, he didn't object.Qin Shi was very surprised.

The rain on the ground didn't have time to flow away and accumulated a layer. Bai Xin stepped out, and the whole body was soaked.A gust of wind and rain rushed towards him, and the straw hat was almost blown off. Fortunately, he quickly grabbed the rope of the hat, but the rain had already entered his clothes, and it was still quite cold.Bai Xin lowered his head, grabbed the coir raincoat with one hand, and held a wooden stick with the other, and walked out of the elder's house step by step.It was dark outside, with water everywhere, and it was hard to see where the road was.Thanks to Bai Xin's amazing eyesight, he didn't go astray and fall into any puddle.

Amidst the sound of wind and rain, there will be thunder from time to time. Those who dare to come out at this time are either courageous or not afraid of death.

After finally reaching Lin's house, Bai Xin heard voices in the yard!Listen closely, there are several people, but no Lin Xun!Accompanied by the crowing of chickens and ducks!

Several thoughts were spinning in Bai Xin's mind at the same time.He quickly walked to the gate of the courtyard, which was open, and saw a young man grabbing a duck and stuffing it into a nearby cage!

Thief! ——Bai Xin was shocked and angry.
