Chapter 23 Braised Fat Sausage

At this time, the sun set halfway up in the west. Under the golden light, both the river beaches and the mountains and villages seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light.

Curling smoke rose from the door of each thatched hut, dissipating in the air with the evening breeze. Although it was still more than a mile away, the strong meat fragrance blew in the air was already smelled in the air, making the stomach and intestines start to get restless and saliva kept coming out.

"It smells so good, go quickly!" Niu Dashi threw away the sour wild fruit in his hand and shouted loudly, and everyone couldn't help but speed up.

"Brother~Brother~" A tender cry came from the entrance of the village, and Chen Xu couldn't help but speed up. Soon he saw a little girl in tattered clothes staggering over.

Then, following the little girl, a large group of women and children appeared, all waiting for Chen Xu and others to return. Chen Jiang was also among them. Seeing the figures of Chen Xu and others, a hung heart was relieved.

"Mom, this is the money from selling mountain pigs and the millet I bought. I will ask Uncle Ma and some to help repair the house tomorrow. You will get up in the morning and cook the rice. After breakfast, we will go up the mountain to carry the wood!"

Uncle Ma and others sent the food and the remaining meat bought by Chen Xu to Chen Xu's house and couldn't wait to go home. They were hungry for almost a whole day. At this time, no one could hold on with the smell of the fragrant fat meat.

After Chen Xu brought out the millet and the money bags in a few rough linen bags from the vine basket, he couldn't wait to take a bowl of soybeans and wild vegetable rice handed over by Xing'er and swallowed them.

"Brother, eat meat!" Xing'er used a wooden spoon to scoop out a few pieces of boiled big fat meat from the jar.

Chen Xu glanced at the fat and fat meat with greasy whites and couldn't help but tremble, but he took it and poured it into a bowl and started to eat it.

The soul belongs to him, but the body belongs to someone else. This body is too weak and you need to eat some fatty fat to replenish it, otherwise you will not have the energy to work.

In a sensation, Chen Xu ate three big bowls in a row. He had almost finished the cooked soybean and wild vegetable rice, and nearly half of the broth was eaten. Then he felt that he was full and rubbed his stomach and started to burp.

Xing'er and Chen Jiang's one bowl of bean rice, and cooked some wild vegetables with the remaining fat broth and finished it quickly.

It’s not that Chen Xu is greedy, but that he must eat enough to have the energy to work tomorrow.

There are more than 100 kilograms of wild boar and dozens of kilograms of lean meat at home, especially four pig thighs, which are 300 kilograms of meat. He also bought two stone millet, which is enough for three people to eat for several months, and at most one month, the wheat on the river beach can be harvested. After spending this period of time of reluctance, the family's eating problem was not any problem at all.

In this era of generally low productivity, it is definitely not possible to eat and wear a lot and wear a lot by farming. No matter how strong and capable a person is, he will be exhausted. Therefore, the only way to eat well and wear well is to do business.

And he also saw that the Qin Empire was in trouble, and people were in trouble, and all kinds of materials were scarce when food, clothing, housing and use were scarce. Only business can make matters and coins circulate.

Although according to historical records, the Qin Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, he did not see anyone interfering in the sales of goods in the town today. In other words, the bottom-level officials such as Lidian and Pavilion Chief in the town did not interfere in business, otherwise the market would not be opened every month.

Market trading activities have emerged since the clan society. By the Qin Dynasty, it was very common and mature, and almost became an indispensable activity in people's lives. Without the support of various mature commercial systems, only markets can allow ordinary people to sell grain, poultry, eggs, and various mountain goods and river food to exchange for daily necessities, such as production tools, pots, pans, and salt.

After dinner, while it was still early, Chen Xu took out the salt he bought and grinded it into powder in a stone mortar with a stone pestle. Xing'er and Chen Jiang's body spread all the divided meat with salt and hung it on the beams inside the room.

Because the weather is getting hotter and in order to prevent the pork from spoiling, I use more salt. After all the meat is marinated, most of the ten kilograms of salt I bought today have been used.

"Xu'er, how do you prepare for the large intestine of the mountain beetle you want?" Finally, Chen Jiang raised a bunch of wild boar fat intestines from a vine basket.

In fact, before traveling through time, Chen Xu loved to eat fat intestines, and he loved to eat braised, boiled, fried, and stir-fried. He was so chewy that he drank some beer with braised fat intestines. It was a great pleasure in life, but now he looked at the fat intestine, but now his skin was thrusting and unable to stop.

Although the fat intestines are good, they must be made to taste delicious. Now that there is no seasoning except salt, there is no way for the imperial chef to come.

I said casually when I left in the morning, but what should I do now?

Looking at Chen Xu's face full of entanglement and disgust, Xing'er shouted beside him, "Brother, don't worry, there is no shit inside. My mother and I have washed it very clean in the river!"

Well, this is also good news. Chen Xu leaned over his nose and smelled it, and found that there was no smell. So he put a bronze dagger on the stone slab and cut it into pieces and put it into the jar where he cooked vegetables on weekdays. He cut a few pieces of wild ginger and threw it in, then put it in salt and water and put it in a pile of charcoal fire to simmer.

If nothing unexpected happens, the fatty intestines should be simmered tomorrow morning.

This thing is eaten with meat and meat to fight hunger, and it is just for those who work tomorrow, otherwise it will be difficult for those who do heavy work to last until four or five o'clock in the afternoon.

It was completely dark at this time.

There are stars in the sky, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky.

The mountains, rivers and fields slowly return to tranquility.

The village seemed very lively. Although everyone was about to go to bed at this time, today there were still loud joking everywhere.

Chen Xu took out the axe and hatchet copper saw he bought, first polished the axe and hatchet on the sharpening stone, then knocked off a piece of fragment from the sharpening stone, smoothed it slightly, and then opened the sawtooth.

This is the worst saw Chen Xu has ever seen in his life.

The style is not very different from the hand saws in later generations, but the thickness and size of the saw are not satisfied with him.

Amid the crackling sounds, Chen Jiangshi sat by the fire holding Xing'er and looked at Chen Xu, looking at her son's serious and serious expression on her young and tender face. This scene made her seem to see her husband who had been away for four or five years. At that time, the man was at home and his parents were there. Although the family was in a difficult situation, at least there was no hungry incident. Since her husband left, hungry incidents have been several months a year, but now, this kind of hardship and embarrassment have suddenly gone away. The meat and food in the family have been abundant in just a few days, and the house will be repaired tomorrow...

This family finally got through the most difficult time.
