Chapter 35 Air-dried Pork

"It's almost the same, but it needs a lot of salt." She had a lot of space, but how to take it out? Xia Huai was depressed.

"Hey, if it doesn't work, don't add salt, just dry it and store it." Zhou Huiniang thinks that it is enough to eat enough, and there is no need to do too many bells and whistles. They came out to survive, not to live. When their survival is guaranteed,

Live a good life again!

But Xia Huai is not happy. Since she can enjoy life, why should she wrong herself? Anyway, she has to find a good way!

While bored, Xia Huai suddenly noticed that the grass on the other side of the river was shaking. She squinted her eyes and observed carefully, and the grass was shaking again.

"Mom, I'm going to go shopping across the street and come back later!"

Zhou Huiniang laughed and scolded: "You lazy girl, I thought you were hardworking, but you should just have fun with your feelings. Just be careful, there are a lot of bugs here."

"Why!"

Xia Huai ran over in one breath, calmed his breathing, and asked tentatively: "Is it you?"

The grass moved.

Xia Huai felt relieved and couldn't help but ask: "Do you have a problem with me?" Could it be that there were too few transactions last night and he finally realized that he had suffered a loss and regretted it?

The next second, a somewhat immature but hoarse voice came: "How to make food delicious?"

"?" Xia Huai was stunned.

The main reason is that the voice is too immature. He sounds like he is only thirteen or fourteen years old. It is probably because his voice changes during puberty and his voice is a bit hoarse.

But Xia Huai always thought that the person she was dealing with was in his forties, at least an adult. She couldn't imagine how a person who was only thirteen or fourteen years old could be so careful, calm, and so...

One who can write well and acquire martial arts skills.

This is too scary. Unless the other party is good at changing their voice!

Xia Huai thought so and subconsciously asked: "Do you want it to be delicious? What do you mean?"

The person on the other side was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "The food you cook is delicious, but I can't cook it."

Xia Huai: "Well, maybe you don't have any female relatives, right? Women have always been better at cooking." No, all the great chefs have been men throughout the ages. In fact, men are more suitable for cooking!

"Yes. What can you do?" After a pause, he continued: "I can trade prey with you."

Xia Huai was naturally moved, and she asked tentatively: "How about I teach you some tricks?"

The two agreed, and to show sincerity, Xia Huai first taught the other party some tips: "If you are cooking rice soup, I suggest you cook it for a little longer, so that the rice will be softer and more fragrant. You can go back and try it, if

If it works, let’s trade again.”

After the other party left, Xia Huai was about to leave when he noticed something suddenly twitching in the grass.

It's a pheasant, not too big, but better than nothing.

"This boy" Xia Huai carried the pheasant and happily returned to the other side to find her mother.

Zhou Huiniang had washed her clothes long ago, and even the clothes around her had been taken away and replaced with pots of wild boar meat. She was so immersed in the joy of washing the pork that her daughter didn't realize it when she came back.

Xia Huai wanted to play tricks on her and dangled the wild pheasant in front of Zhou Huiniang's eyes.

"Ah!" Zhou Huiniang trembled with fright and almost threw away the wild boar meat in her hand. She turned around and saw her daughter, and said angrily: "Yao Shou! What do you want to do, girl?"

"That's not right, where did the pheasant come from?"

Xia Huai smiled proudly: "Caught from the other side!"

There was another dish in the house. Zhou Huiniang was happy and sighed: "Whose girl is like you? She spends her whole day either catching rabbits or chasing chickens."

Xia Huai didn't listen, rolled up her sleeves and squatted down to help her mother: "Let's cut these pork into long strips later, it will be easier to dry!"

"OK."

The cleaned wild boar meat is cut into long strips as long as the length of your palm with a knife, and placed in a basin. It is reasonable to add some seasonings, etc., but unfortunately there is a lack of everything now.

Xia Huai thought for a while, and when her mother couldn't see it, she replaced the river water with space water and rinsed the pork carefully.

After returning to the cave, Zhou Huiniang rummaged around in the cave, intending to find some things that could be used to dry the pork. When she found it, she turned around and was dumbfounded.

"Xia Huai! What are you doing?!" Zhou Huiniang's heart suddenly jumped up, and she rushed to Xia Huai with her things.

Xia Huai was so frightened that his hands shook. The salt jar slipped from his hand into the wooden basin, and the salt in the jar was sprinkled on the meat accurately.

"." Xia Huai looked at her mother innocently.

Zhou Huiniang stared at the salt jar again and again. Now that the matter was over, she was no longer angry. She was just a little thankful: "Fortunately, there is another jar, otherwise what would I do if there is no salt!"

Xia Huai actually intended to put some on it, but she unexpectedly accidentally poured half the jar. Seeing that her mother didn't blame her, Xia Huai felt a little guilty: "Mom, don't worry, the salt will be there."

Zhou Huiniang gave her an angry look and pushed her daughter aside: "Go and play, we don't need you here!" She left for a while, and her daughter wasted half a jar of salt. If she had allowed her to toss around all the time, her life would have been better.

But no!

Xia Huai couldn't help but stick out her tongue, and before leaving, she couldn't help but said: "Mom, put some more chili powder and cumin powder on it, I have it here!" In order to prevent her mother from getting angry, Xia Huai threw down two bottles of condiments.

Just ran away.

Although Wang Tieniu's injury was better, Xia Dashan and the others still refused to let him work. He could only look left and right depressedly, and saw Zhou Huiniang marinating pork. He thought for a while and took out a large pot from the basket.

Calabash: "Sister-in-law Zhou, you don't have a bar there? This is a calabash of wine I brought out. You can use it to marinate the meat!"

Zhou Huiniang didn't answer and looked at Wang Tieniu with some hesitation.

Wang Tieniu scratched his head: "I'm injured, I won't recover in two months, and my mother won't let me drink it. Just use it!"

Zhou Huiniang was not polite this time and took it in her hand.

Zhou Huiniang carefully kneaded and marinated the meat strips with salt, wine, chili pepper and cumin. Finally, they were piled up, covered with a lid and left to rest for two or three hours. After marinating, they were placed outside the top of the wood chips to dry.

Generally, it takes about a month to dry pork purely by natural air.

Shitou drooled as he looked at the dried meat, and his head was patted by Xia Dashan: "It will take a long time before we can eat the dried meat. Okay, come over and help. We will stew the meat and grill it later!"

Wild boar meat is stronger and chewier than domestic pigs, but it will have a fishy smell if not processed.

Zhou Huiniang is preparing to stew the meat with the aniseed ingredients provided by Xia Huai, while Xia Dashan is carrying two boys here and there to chop, marinate, and skewer the meat, preparing for barbecue.

Cut the fat meat into large pieces, add salt and chili pepper, cut some sticks and skewer them, pile up the firewood, and then bake.

Ever since Xia Hui succeeded in roasting a rabbit and received praise from Xia Huai, he has been particularly concerned about eating. If Zhou Huiniang hadn't let him handle it, he would have even wanted to take away his daily cooking job!

"Turn it over in time to avoid burning it. What are you looking at? I'm talking about you!"

Actually, I want to write about bacon. My mother made bacon during the Chinese New Year. It was really delicious! It will appear in the article later! (Whether Xiaoyu can get royalties this month depends on everyone, so don’t be stingy with your votes!

Let Xiaoyu rush into the 200th place! Love you~)
