Du Heng woke up the next day and completely forgot the nightmare he had yesterday, and he got up early in the morning.
Today's breakfast has fried dough sticks and tofu soup. The freshly fried fried dough sticks are so crispy that Xuanyu can eat five or six in one sitting!
"Cypress branches? Yes, there are quite a lot of them on Nanshan and Dongshan. What do you want them for?" Jing Nan gnawed the fried dough sticks carelessly.It may be the reason why he didn't sleep well last night, Jing Nan looked a little out of spirits today, yawning while drinking soup.
Du Heng said: "If you want to fumigate bacon today, you need cypress branches, sawdust, and it would be great if there are some melon skins and shells from spiritual fruits."
Jing Nan yawned: "Yes, you can go home with me later to get it. Ouch... I can't do it anymore, I need to catch up on sleep later." Before Du Heng could speak, Feng Gui said: "Go to my house. sleep there?"
Jing Nan nodded: "Well, go to sleep with you, I'd better find a puppet to help me beat my back. I stood up all night, and my waist was broken." Feng Gui sneered: "You deserve it, let you take care of me." thing."
Xuanyu added a bowl of tofu soup to Du Heng: "I will go to Nanshan to help you find cypress branches later, so you don't go up." Du Heng thought for a while and said, "That's fine, thank you Xuanyu."
Until now, he still remembers the second time he went to Nanshan and was carried down by Xuanyu. If he encounters any monster again, he will not only be unable to help Xuanyu, but will also become his burden.Thinking of this, Du Heng should honestly wait for Xuan Yu to come back at home.He was relieved to leave the matter to Xuan Yu.
Feng Gui suddenly smiled at Du Heng, and Du Heng's eyes were straightened by that smile: "Du Heng? I have something to ask you."
Du Heng was taken aback: "Hmm, what's the matter?"
Feng Gui pointed to the big wooden barrel for brewing wine in the kitchen: "I smell wine, can I drink it? If possible, help me fill two bottles?"
Feng Gui didn't talk about it, Du Heng almost forgot.Since Feng Gui mentioned wine, Du Heng quickly untied the quilt on the barrel.This time, a clear smell of wine brewed on the surface.This time the taste is less sweet and more alcoholic.
After Du Heng untied the lid, all the big monsters watching with bowls said 'Wow—'.
I saw half a barrel of clear wine in the wooden barrel, and there were large chunks of milky white lees floating on the wine.The color of the wine is no longer the milky white that I saw before, but has turned into a slightly yellowed wine, so clear that the bottom of the barrel can be seen.
Du Heng sniffed: "It should be done."
Hearing what Du Heng said, Feng Gui and Jing Nan finished the tofu soup in the bowl at the speed of light, and they also used the cleaning technique to clean the thickened soup in the bowl.
Jing Nan licked the corner of her mouth: "Let's have a bowl, let's have a bowl~"
Du Heng was happy: "Okay, wait!"
Du Heng had already prepared a bamboo shauke for wine harvesting, and Xuanyu helped make this bamboo shauke.It is said that Xuanyu is really a good man who must be at home. The bamboo shaukes he makes are exquisite and practical, but Du Heng is embarrassed to let him continue to make them.
This bamboo shauke is one foot in diameter and eight inches in depth. The bottom of the shauke that has been cleaned long ago is pressed into a wooden barrel, and the wine pulp penetrates from the outside of the shauke into the inside of the shauke.
Du Heng scooped up a full spoon with the wooden spoon he used to fetch the wine, and carefully poured the wine into the bowl that Jing Nan stretched out: "Taste first, I don't know the alcohol content now, don't get drunk .”
A large bowl of wine was poured by Du Heng into the clean white porcelain bowl, the color of the wine was yellowish without any impurities.When it is poured into the bowl and shaken slightly, there will be a circle of ripples around the bowl.This is completely different from the appearance of clear water in a bowl. Although Du Heng is not very good at tasting wine, he can tell that this is wine.
A smell of alcohol spread over the surface, and Jing Nan took a sip happily: "Yeah!! Good wine!!"
Jing Nan raised his hand and handed it to Feng Gui: "Try it, it's no worse than the wine brewed by immortals." Feng Gui took a sip of Jing Nan's bowl and said, "Well, it's not bad."
The wine tastes mellow, and the wine flows smoothly from the lips and tongue to the stomach and intestines. The wine has a soft taste, and there will be a sweet taste when you sip it carefully.After drinking it, you will feel a lingering fragrance in your mouth, neither mouth nor heartburn, and the aftertaste is quite exciting.
Different from ordinary baijiu that is spicy, this wine is just like Du Heng's person, soft but has stamina.
Feng Gui was very satisfied: "Good wine, can you fill me two bottles?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "It's good if you don't dislike it." He originally thought that if Fenggui and the others didn't like the wine he brewed, he would keep it for cooking.
Hearing what Du Heng said, Feng Gui took out two jade bottles from his sleeve: "Full up."
After taking a few sips of wine, Xuan Yu put down the bowl: "I'll drink it when I come back, now go up the mountain to find cypress branches."
Du Heng waved his hand: "Be careful~"
Du Heng looked at Feng Gui and Jing Nan who were drinking from large bowls at the dining table. It seemed that today's breakfast was not finished so quickly.Du Heng said: "I'll build a small fumigated house first, you can eat first."
Fumigation of bacon generally needs to find a downwind outlet. Du Heng's mother would find a corner in her yard every year when fumigation of bacon.After hanging the bacon on the crossed logs, Mama Du built a fire under the logs.When the fire stabilized, it was sprinkled with sawdust and covered with cypress branches.
The flames were covered by sawdust and became flickering, and when they met a cypress branch, a puff of green smoke would emerge.Green smoke curled up with the fragrance of wood and cypress branches, and then slowly fumigated and changed the color of the bacon on top.
There will be a layer of black-gray oily smoke on the skin of the fumigated bacon, but as long as it is washed with rice washing water, the golden skin and slightly transparent fat inside will be exposed.Because the fumigation smoke has temperature, the bacon after fumigation is actually cooked inside.This kind of bacon tastes fat but not greasy, whether it is used to stir-fry vegetables or steamed, it is an excellent delicacy.
In order to allow the green smoke to fumigate the bacon to the maximum extent, Mama Du also added some non-combustible boards next to the top wood to cover it.However, Mama Du's method of fumigation is still risky, that is, people need to keep an eye on it all the time.
If the fire below rises, and people don't find out in time, the flames will burn to the meat above.Every year, when someone fumigates bacon, the meat will burn while steaming.
In order to prevent the bacon he made so hard from turning into roasted meat, Du Heng plans to build a new type of fumigation stove.
Du Heng went out of the yard to measure the wind direction. At this time, the wind was blowing from the northwest, so Du Heng found a flat land on the southeast corner outside his yard.After a piece of earth-introducing talisman went down, a seven-foot-high adobe house appeared on the flat ground.The house faces east with a door frame that can accommodate one person, and there is an exhaust hole above the door frame.
The house is not big, five feet long, seven feet high and only four feet wide.As soon as you look up, you can see the criss-crossing hooks above your head, and one or two skewers of meat can be hung on each hook.In addition to hanging meat on the roof, there is also a row of criss-cross barbed wire about four feet above the ground, and there are hooks under the net.
He can put two layers of meat in such a room, and a person as tall as Du Heng standing at the door can reach the corner with a simple fork.
Du Heng looked at the big room with satisfaction, and his eyes fell on the wall facing the door, which had many holes.When smoke is lit in the small room next door, the smoke will run along these holes to the room where the bacon is hung.
Du Heng clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Perfect~" The world of comprehension is good, and a room for fumigation of bacon can be harvested with such an edible talisman.If it were left in his hometown, the prototype of the house would not be able to come out within two or three days.
Du Heng pinched out a wooden talisman and made a door on the side of the big room. He opened and closed the door, and the door and the door frame were tightly fitted.In this way, when he fumigated, the smoke would not come out too much, and he would not have to worry about something coming in and ruining his bacon.
Jing Nan leaned against the courtyard door and looked at Du Heng: "What are you doing? You're so ugly."
When Jing Nan said this, Du Heng was very unconvinced: "This is a house where bacon is fumigated, isn't it ugly?"
Du Heng looked at the house he made, and then looked at the surrounding houses.Even if he brought his own father filter, he has to admit: "It seems...it's really ugly..."
At first glance, Du Heng's adobe house looks like a house with a small tail behind it, which is really incongruous.Du Heng hummed and made excuses for himself: "Just be practical, um... just be practical."
Anyway, once the aura is withdrawn after it is used up, the house will turn into mud.
Jing Nan smiled and said, "Okay, don't make excuses. Didn't you say you want sawdust and melon husks? Come with me."
Du Heng hurriedly followed: "Hey, good~"
Du Heng thought that Jing Nan would lead him to Ling Zhitian, and then find some spiritual fruits from a certain corner.Unexpectedly, Jing Nan took Du Heng directly to his house.
Du Heng was taken aback: "Hey? Jing Nan, do you want to take me to your house?"
Jing Nan looked at Du Heng suspiciously: "How do you say that? I didn't do anything harmful to nature, and what you said made me feel like I was going to sell you."
Du Heng quickly explained: "No, it's just that you suddenly invited me to your house, and I was flattered."
Jing Nan let out a snort: "Du Heng, your memory may not be very good. How many times have I invited you before? Can you tell me what your conscience is?"
Du Heng was a little confused, he didn't seem to care.Suddenly he remembered that on the first day he came to the village, Jing Nan invited him to live in his house.It was at that time that he felt that Xuanyu stood in front of the small dilapidated house, which was very bleak, so he didn't go.
later?It happened a few times later, the most recent day when Xuanyu went out, Jing Nan invited him out.
Jing Nan shook his hands in his pocket, and he yawned: "Okay, okay, don't show that expression, those who don't know think I've done something to you. By the way, when you get to my house, don't touch it. Ah. Some spiritual plants in my family are in trouble, if you are accidentally poisoned, Xuanyu can kill me." Du Heng smiled shyly: "Don't worry, I promise not to touch it randomly."
He finally understood why he didn't dare to go to Jing Nan's house, because Jing Nan's identity was a doctor.Du Heng thinks that being a doctor is a mysterious and lofty profession, and many doctors are obsessed with cleanliness.
Du Heng has a relative who is a doctor. Every time he goes to that relative's house, Du Heng doesn't even dare to breathe and just sits on the sofa stiffly.His relative wanted to use a tape measure to measure the placement of the items in the house. The floor of the house was not stained, and Du Heng felt that he had stained the floor of his house when he walked on the ground.
In Du Heng's impression, doctors exist like this.And Jing Nan should be such a doctor... right?
56
After a while, he walked to the door of Jing Nan's house.Speaking of which, the layout of Jingnan's house and his own is actually similar, they are both houses designed by Jinghong, and the inside is similar... right?
As a result, as soon as Jing Nan pushed open the door, Du Heng was dumbfounded.Look, what did he see?He saw an orchard! !There is an orchard in the frozen and snowy yard outside!
Jing Nan staggered to the courtyard gate, and he waved: "Come in, what are you looking at at the gate?"
Du Heng said in shock: "How come there are so many fruit trees?"
Jing Nan laughed: "As long as you want, there can be an orchard in your yard, what's so special about it. Things that can be done with a formation, don't be dazed, come in."
Du Heng felt that he had walked into a fantasy world, he followed Jing Nan and walked under the tree.Some trees are hung with a tree of flowers, some with a tree of fruit, and some with flowers and fruits hanging on them.The red, green and green in the courtyard are really beautiful. Under the trees, there is a path paved with bluestones that leads to the distance.
Du Heng looked up, and saw Jing Nan's house hidden in the depths of the fruit forest, only the rooms and terrace on the second floor could be seen.Du Heng was amazed: "It's amazing."
Jing Nan walked and stood under a pear tree, only to see that the tree was full of fist-sized yellow pears.Jing Nan reached out and picked two pears from the top of the tree: "It should be ripe..." He picked up one of the pears and took a bite: "Well, it's ripe."
Then he threw another pear to Du Heng: "Usually you cook the meals for me to taste, this time you try my spiritual fruit?"
Du Heng caught the heavy pear, and said with a smile: "Usually, do you pick the spiritual fruit you give me from this yard?"
Jing Nan shook his head: "Yes, but there were not many mature spiritual fruits before, and there will be more fruits that can be eaten after a while."
Du Heng took a bite of the pear, and the sweet juice burst out in his mouth, and the juice that he hadn't swallowed in time slid down the corner of his lips.Du Heng wiped the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and he smacked his lips: "It's so sweet! This pear is delicious."
Jing Nan put up a thumbs up and smiled: "You are knowledgeable. This is the Xueyu pear brought by Fenggui from the Xueyu Fox Clan. This year is the first time it bears fruit. You are lucky. The first time you come to the door, the fruit is ripe. Wait. Take it a little away."
Du Heng happily said: "Okay, thank you Jing Nan."
Jing Nan said: "Look at the melons and fruits in my yard that you can use. Just pick what you need. This way there is no danger in the yard. Just pay attention to your steps and see that I have set up a formation. Lingzhi will avoid it."
Du Heng looked at his feet, and saw that there were formations shining red aura under the surrounding fruit trees. The formations drew red circles, and there were one or two spiritual plants in each circle.
Du Heng replied: "Okay!"
Jing Nan gnawed on a pear and walked in front: "I'll find you a basket. By the way, do you want to use these fruits to fumigate bacon? Put them directly on the fire?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "No, just use the peel. Isn't it too wasteful to roast the flesh inside?"
Jing Nan nodded thoughtfully: "That's right..."
Jingnan's orchard is very large. Du Heng saw hundreds of fruit trees at a cursory glance.But the strange thing is that they can't be seen outside the yard.
Jing Nan explained: "Is there a formation in the courtyard~ Speaking of which, this formation was added with the help of your family Xuanyu. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will also build an orchard in the yard. You are better at planting than me. If you eat it, the fruit that will grow by then will definitely be better than the ones in my yard."
Du Heng was actually inspired, he wanted to cultivate hard just for this big orchard!
Du Heng originally thought that the [-]-acre Spiritual Plant Garden in the mountain depression was all Jing Nan planted, but when he went to Jing Nan's house, he found that the previous [-]-acre Spiritual Plant Garden was not as good as a corner here.
Du Heng followed Jing Nan through the bluestone path to his house. The layout of Jing Nan's house was very similar to that of Du Heng's house, and it also had a porch.It's just that this is a symmetrical house type, the terrace of Du Heng's house is on the east side, and that of Jing Nan's house is on the west side.Below the balcony of Du Heng's house is his kitchen, so there is a west-facing room on the first floor of Jing Nan's house, but this room is used by Jing Nan to store sundries.
Starting from the corridor, Du Heng saw countless panniers, each of which was full of spiritual plants.Baskets stacked on top of each other, and baskets within baskets, Jing Nan's house looks dirty, how can I imagine a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine who is obsessed with cleanliness?
Jing Nan walked under the eaves of the corridor, and he kicked away the baskets blocking the road: "Well... it seems... it's here, right?"
Du Heng stretched his neck, he didn't even eat pears: "What are you looking for?"
Jing Nan scratched her hair generously: "Didn't you mean the peel? In autumn, I harvested some oranges, and the peeled ones were thrown here. But it seems a bit hard to find..."
Du Heng's head was covered with cold sweat: "Don't worry, just take your time."
Jing Nan lifted a basket, but he shook the basket instead, and the green and yellow spiritual plants in the basket scattered all over the ground.Jing Nan muttered: "Did I lose it? No way, I'm not so diligent..."
Du Heng glanced at Jingnan's room through the window, and saw that everything he saw was filled with spiritual plants.Those who didn't know it thought that when they arrived at the hay shed, Jing Nan's house was filled with a hay... Ah bah, the fragrance of Lingzhi.Standing under the eaves of the corridor and sniffing, Du Heng felt that his chest was more open.
Du Heng looked at the west window of Jing Nan's house, and saw tall hay piled inside, and a big gray bird was making a nest above the hay.
Du Heng sighed, after Xuan Yu, Jing Nan's boss persona also collapsed.
Now there are three people in the village, and the one who still maintains the master set is Xiaoxiao's uncle Fenggui.But Fenggui has always been a big monster, Du Heng knew it from the day he met Xuanyu.Fenggui's character design will never collapse!Absolutely not! !
Jing Nan was still searching hard, the Ling Zhi beside him was piled up in a pile, Jing Nan's body was covered with Ling Zhi's debris.In the end, Jing Nan successfully fished out a basket: "I found it!! I said I am not so diligent~"
Du Heng's head was dripping with cold sweat, he should have thought about it a long time ago, Jing Nan's casual temperament doesn't look like the kind of cautious and serious person.In fact, before Jing Nan took out the basket, Du Heng had no hope.The orange peels eaten in autumn are just piled up in the basket, so they should have been moldy and rotted long ago, right?
As a result, when Du Heng poked his head out to take a look, he saw Jing Nan holding half of the basket full of golden orange peels in his hand.
Jing Nan smiled and said: "This is the orange left after I used it as medicine. This kind of orange is more effective in medicine when it is green. I don't use the leftover bad fruit. It turned out to be quite good when it matured. Eat it, next year I will save one for you to taste?"
Du Heng said gratefully: "Thank you Jing Nan." With this half box of orange peels, at least Du Heng's first stove of bacon can be fumigated.
Jing Nan said: "There are still some grapefruits on the tree over there, do you want it?"
Grapefruit?Du Heng's eyes lit up: "Yes! Fumigate the grapefruit peel on the cypress branch, and the smoke will have the fragrance of grapefruit, and the fumigated bacon will be delicious."
Jing Nan picked up a clean pannier and carried it on his back. He walked outside the verandah and shook: "Come, follow me."
Du Heng joyfully carried half a box of orange peels on his back and followed Jing Nan. Jing Nan walked westward for a few hundred meters. Du Heng thought it should be several hundred meters, because he also turned over a small hill.
Hundreds of meters away, there are five grapefruit trees in a row. There are scattered grapefruits hanging on the trees, and each grapefruit is bigger than Du Heng's head!
Du Heng's eyes lit up: "What a big grapefruit!"
Jing Nan turned her head quietly and said: "It looks big, but it's actually unpalatable. The meat inside is thick and there are many sour seeds. Even Xiaoxiao doesn't like it. I want to eat it. These few trees have been eliminated, but there is a kind of elixir that needs to be used as medicine, so I can only keep it."
Du Heng said with a smile: "That's because you didn't find the right method. Watch and wait for me to make grapefruit tea for you. I promise you will like it."
Jing Nan looked Du Heng up and down: "Can it really be eaten?" Du Heng said affirmatively: "If you can eat it, just trust me."
Jing Nan stood under the tree, and with a twist of the spirit in his hand, the five grapefruits on the tree fell to the ground with a plop.Du Heng picked up a grapefruit and patted it, good guy, it's heavy.This grapefruit looks good!
Jing Nan said: "Put it on the ground first, and I'll ask the puppet to move it back for you later. See if there are any fruits you can pick."
Hearing what Jing Nan said, Du Heng immediately became interested. He unloaded the back basket, and the two walked along the bluestone path under the fruit trees.
Just like what Jing Nan said, Du Heng came at the wrong time. Although there are formations in the courtyard, not many fruit trees here are ripe.After a while, there should be a lot of fruit ripening, Du Heng began to look forward to it, there are too many fruit trees in the yard of Jing Nan's house.There are also some unknown spiritual fruits, Du Heng thinks he has discovered a treasure.
Jing Nan yawned: "I'm going to Feng Gui's home to catch up on sleep later, so don't leave me lunch."
Du Heng nodded, but he immediately had doubts: "Why did you go to Fenggui's house to sleep? I can also sleep at my house."
Jing Nan smiled wretchedly: "Of course it's because Feng Gui's bed is not ordinary, and you can feel refreshed after a short sleep."
Du Heng thought of the shrill woman's cry last night, and he looked in the direction of Jing Nan's house: "Jing Nan, that Jing Hong..."
Jing Nan said: "What can happen, I can't die. But her meridians have just been connected, so she can only lie down."
Du Heng sighed a little: "Jing Nan, did you give up your room to Jing Hong?"
Jing Nan looked at Du Heng strangely: "What nonsense are you talking about? She sleeps in my room with a woman? Would I be ashamed if I said it?"
Du Heng was a little puzzled: "Hey? Then where did she sleep?" Jing Nan was even more surprised: "Didn't you see her just now?"
Du Heng was puzzled: "No wow..." When did he see Jinghong?
Jing Nan kindly reminded, "That bird in the west room."
Du Heng petrified with a click, but Jinghong turned out to be that big gray bird? ?Du Heng almost cried, where was that girl yesterday?How did the girl turn into a bird?
Jing Nan patted Du Heng's shoulder: "What kind of expressions are these? Are you so shocked to see Yaoxiu's monster shape? Don't you look at the smiling monster shape every day?"
Du Heng wanted to cry but had no tears: "Smiling is different..."
The distraught Du Heng followed Jing Nan out of the house with his back on his back, Jing Nan yawned in front of him: "I won't send you back, I'll sleep on Feng Gui's bed first."
Du Heng was hit, and he was a little floating when he walked: "Oh, you go to sleep..."
Fenggui's female secretary opened the door for Jing Nan, who yawned and said, "Go and help Du Heng carry the grapefruit into the courtyard of Xuanyu's house."
The leading female history nodded, and then two identical puppets came out from behind and walked towards Jing Nan's house.
Du Heng was still immersed in the disillusionment of a good girl turning into a bird, and when he saw Xuan Yu, he felt wronged: "Xuan Yu, let me tell you, she turned out to be a bird after the surprise yesterday! "
Xuan Yu couldn't understand Du Heng's collapse, he was very calm: "Don't you like birds?"
Holding and smiling every day, don't you like it?
57
Du Heng was devastated: "Why is there such a difference between the demon cultivator's human form and the main body?"
Xuanyu blinked and changed the subject: "I... I came back from the Nanshan cypress branch, would you like to take a look?"
Du Heng's thoughts were taken astray: "Huh? Let me see."
The basket behind Xuanyu's back was full of cypress branches, these cypress branches were dark green in color, with cypress fruit the size of a little finger bearing on them.Du Heng turned it over, and a scent of cypress came out.
Du Heng was very satisfied: "Very good! Thank you Xuanyu."
Xuanyu said: "There are formations in the back basket, I don't know if the ones I picked are enough for you, if they are not enough, I will pick them again."
Du Heng nodded hurriedly: "Enough is enough."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "I'm going to deal with the casings, didn't you say you're going to make sausages today?"
Du Heng had completely forgotten how heavy it is for a good girl to become a bird, he nodded: "Okay, okay, you go and deal with the casings, I'll deal with the meat after I've hung the bacon."
Du Heng and Xuanyu got busy separately, Shan Gao's intestines were dirty and smelly, but Xuanyu didn't even frown when handling it.
He moved a stool and sat outside the yard watching Du Heng start a fire: "Do you need my help?"
The first furnace of bacon dried yesterday had been hung in the small house by Du Heng. Du Heng clamped a piece of burning bloodthirsty vine and ignited the wood. When the fire of the wood was burning, he sprinkled sawdust on it.
Hearing what Xuanyu said, Du Heng said with a smile: "I still want to ask you if you need my help. Is it a bit troublesome for you to deal with the intestines?"
Xuanyu said seriously: "It's a bit disgusting, but it's something that can't be helped."
Du Heng picked up a handful of cypress branches and stuffed them into the small room. White smoke suddenly appeared from among the branches, and a smoky smell wafted out.
Xuan Yu sniffed the scent: "It's a bit special."
Du Heng laughed and said: "Many people are not used to smelling or eating the smokey smell of bacon, but I think it is delicious." Xuan Yu said solemnly: "You must be delicious."
Du Heng covered the wood with a layer of cypress branches: "The next step is to slowly fumigate, and the fumigation should be ready by now tomorrow."
Xuanyu said: "Shouldn't we also watch at night?"
Du Heng looked at the sky: "At night, you can basically ignore it, as long as there are no small animals to cause damage, there will be no problem."
When the blue smoke from the fumigation room began to rise slowly and steadily, Du Heng stood up.
He said to Xuanyu: "Let me deal with the casings, can you help me cut some fat and thin mountain paste meat? No skin, cut it into slices for me, no need to chop. I will season it later."
Xuan Yu responded: "Okay..."
At this time, Xiaoxiao panicked and ran out of the yard. He danced and danced: "Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!!"
As soon as Xuanyu's expression changed, he stood up from the stool suddenly, and then he cleaned the dirt on his hands with a flash of inspiration.
Seeing Xuan Yu rushing to the kitchen, Du Heng also ran in: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
In the kitchen, Feng Gui threw herself on the dining table, spilling half of the wine in front of her.
Xuan Yu sighed helplessly: "Drunk."
Du Heng: ...Feng Gui can get drunk?How much did he drink?
Du Heng lifted the lid of the wine barrel suspiciously, only to see that only half of the original liquor remained in the barrel.Fenggui is really massive!
Based on Du Heng's judgment: "Fenggui drank at least five catties..."
Xuan Yu sighed, and dragged Feng Gui to the living room with his arms in his arms: "This guy has been greedy for alcohol for a day or two, he is careless."
Du Heng looked at Fenggui with some distress: "Xuanyu, hold him, don't drag him..."
Xuanyu dragged Fenggui very impolitely, as if he was holding a mop, Fenggui's face was reddish and he moaned, "One more...a bowl..."
Xuan Yu dragged Feng Gui to the room where he used to sleep, and he casually threw Feng Gui on the ground: "Maybe I won't be able to wake up today."
Du Heng took a quilt from upstairs and covered Feng Gui: "Why don't you move upstairs, there are beds upstairs."
Xuan Yu said calmly: "Feng Gui is not used to sleeping in other people's beds, nor does he like others sleeping in his bed."
Du Heng glanced at Xuan Yu: "Now Jing Nan is sleeping on Feng Gui's bed, how do you explain it?"
Xuan Yu said without changing his expression, "Jing Nan is an exception. In short, Feng Gui cannot sleep in our bed."
Feng Gui turned over and was wrapped in a quilt, Du Heng wanted to cry seeing him like this.The good-looking man actually ended up lying dead on the ground, miserable, too miserable.
Xuan Yu pulled a blanket and threw it on Feng Gui's head. He said to Du Heng calmly, "Let's go, let's go cut the meat."
Du Heng glanced at Feng Gui with regret, the scene of the beauty drunk was really beautiful, but Feng Gui's head was covered by the blanket, Du Heng could only go out regretfully.
Xiaoxiao poked his head at the door, Xuanyu said to him: "Your uncle is drunk."
Xiaoxiao didn't know what he thought of, his eyes lit up immediately: "Jiujiu?"
Xuan Yu said: "Jing Nan is asleep too, so no one cares about you today."
Xiaoxiao was happy when he heard it, and he squinted his eyes and let out a series of hissing sounds.
Without Jing Nan and Feng Gui bothering them, Du Heng and Xuan Yu cooperated very well.Du Heng quickly cleaned out a complete casing. The so-called casing refers to the outermost layer of the small intestine. Not all kinds of intestines can be used to stuff sausages.
The cleaned casings were slightly transparent, with only a thin layer of membrane, but after being pulled apart, they were very long, as long as from the kitchen door to the yard gate.
Xuan Yu looked at the thin casing and said: "Yunyan Building also has intestines, but it's not like this. Their intestines are stuffed with meat and boiled in water."
Du Heng blinked: "Is it delicious?"
Xuanyu said with a delicate expression: "It smells a bit fishy, but many monks like that smell."
Some demon cultivators even came to Lingxi Town just because of this smell, Xuanyu couldn't understand.
Du Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the sausages I made won't smell fishy."
The reason for the stench is that the intestines and meat have not been properly seasoned. Du Heng is very knowledgeable about seasoning.
The large wooden basin is full of evenly sliced meat slices, which are roughly half-fat and medium-rare.Compared with the pigs raised at home, mountain paste has much leaner meat. At first, Du Heng was worried that mountain paste meat would have a strange taste.But when he ate mountain paste meat for the first time, he knew he was thinking too much.
Although Shan Gao is a monster, they are also wild animals that have absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and run in the mountains. Speaking of which, their meat is also rich in aura.There will be no strange smell like that of pigs raised in human society.
The red chili was poured into the sliced meat by Du Heng. In addition to the chili, Du Heng also added pepper powder, salt, sugar and white wine...
Xuan Yu couldn't help but sneezed: "It smells so good."
Du Heng smiled: "Sichuan-flavored sausages have this taste, you go out for a while, and you can come in after I stir them."
Xuan Yu shook his head: "It's okay, it smells good after smelling it carefully."
Du Heng suddenly remembered something, he raised his head and blinked: "Xuanyu, can't you eat spicy food?"
Until now, Du Heng is not sure which flavor Xuanyu prefers. If Xuanyu can't eat spicy food, he will make less spicy sausages.
Xuan Yu said seriously: "I can eat, I love everything you cook."
Du Heng showed a relaxed smile: "That's good, I'll make two flavors of sausage later, one sweet and one spicy. Try which one you like, if you like it, I will make more sausages next time Some."
The marinated meat was stained with red chili powder, Du Heng sniffed it and was very satisfied: "Fenggui must be satisfied with this level of spiciness."
Xuanyu quietly added next to it: "I am also very satisfied."
Du Heng laughed hahaha: "Come on, let's stuff the meat into the casing together."
It is said that the small intestine of a pig can hold the meat of a whole pig.Du Heng has never actually operated it, but he knows that the inside of the casing is really good for stuffing meat.Just be careful when stuffing the meat. If you use too much force, the meat will break through the casing and slip out. If you use too little force, the stuffed meat will be uneven.
In Du Heng's hometown, the meat stuffing process is replaced by machinery, and a large pot of meat can be stuffed in minutes on the sausage machine.But here, Du Heng can only adopt the most primitive method - using hand gags.
One end of the casing is very soft, and it is quite difficult to stuff meat into it. However, when Du Heng was a child, he saw Du's mother stuffing meat in the traditional way.
Du Heng found a thin bamboo tube, which was thinner than casings and about ten inches long.Du Heng put the casing outside the bamboo tube, tied a knot on the other end of the casing, and then put the casing up on the bamboo tube.
The bamboo tube has been carefully polished and feels particularly smooth.The mouth of a hard bamboo tube is much easier to stuff meat than the mouth of a soft casing. Du Heng stuffed a few pieces of meat into the bamboo tube with ease. It slides easily into the casing at the back.
As more and more pieces of meat are stuffed, the casings slide down from the outside of the bamboo tube in an orderly manner.
Du Heng was very satisfied: "Look, although the old method took a little longer, it still works!"
Xuanyu stood by and studied for a while: "Can I try this?" Du Heng handed the bamboo tube to Xuanyu: "Ang, but you have to be careful, you can't stuff too much at once, otherwise..."
Before Du Heng finished speaking, he saw Xuan Yu's hand waving afterimages as if consecrated.I saw a flash of inspiration in his hand, and the pieces of meat in the wooden basin jumped into the wooden barrel one by one as if they had become conscious.Then the small wooden stick used to poke the meat was also controlled by spiritual energy
Du Heng woke up the next day and completely forgot the nightmare he had yesterday, and he got up early in the morning.
Today's breakfast has fried dough sticks and tofu soup. The freshly fried fried dough sticks are so crispy that Xuanyu can eat five or six in one sitting!
"Cypress branches? Yes, there are quite a lot of them on Nanshan and Dongshan. What do you want them for?" Jing Nan gnawed the fried dough sticks carelessly.It may be the reason why he didn't sleep well last night, Jing Nan looked a little out of spirits today, yawning while drinking soup.
Du Heng said: "If you want to fumigate bacon today, you need cypress branches, sawdust, and it would be great if there are some melon skins and shells from spiritual fruits."
Jing Nan yawned: "Yes, you can go home with me later to get it. Ouch... I can't do it anymore, I need to catch up on sleep later." Before Du Heng could speak, Feng Gui said: "Go to my house. sleep there?"
Jing Nan nodded: "Well, go to sleep with you, I'd better find a puppet to help me beat my back. I stood up all night, and my waist was broken." Feng Gui sneered: "You deserve it, let you take care of me." thing."
Xuanyu added a bowl of tofu soup to Du Heng: "I will go to Nanshan to help you find cypress branches later, so you don't go up." Du Heng thought for a while and said, "That's fine, thank you Xuanyu."
Until now, he still remembers the second time he went to Nanshan and was carried down by Xuanyu. If he encounters any monster again, he will not only be unable to help Xuanyu, but will also become his burden.Thinking of this, Du Heng should honestly wait for Xuan Yu to come back at home.He was relieved to leave the matter to Xuan Yu.
Feng Gui suddenly smiled at Du Heng, and Du Heng's eyes were straightened by that smile: "Du Heng? I have something to ask you."
Du Heng was taken aback: "Hmm, what's the matter?"
Feng Gui pointed to the big wooden barrel for brewing wine in the kitchen: "I smell wine, can I drink it? If possible, help me fill two bottles?"
Feng Gui didn't talk about it, Du Heng almost forgot.Since Feng Gui mentioned wine, Du Heng quickly untied the quilt on the barrel.This time, a clear smell of wine brewed on the surface.This time the taste is less sweet and more alcoholic.
After Du Heng untied the lid, all the big monsters watching with bowls said 'Wow—'.
I saw half a barrel of clear wine in the wooden barrel, and there were large chunks of milky white lees floating on the wine.The color of the wine is no longer the milky white that I saw before, but has turned into a slightly yellowed wine, so clear that the bottom of the barrel can be seen.
Du Heng sniffed: "It should be done."
Hearing what Du Heng said, Feng Gui and Jing Nan finished the tofu soup in the bowl at the speed of light, and they also used the cleaning technique to clean the thickened soup in the bowl.
Jing Nan licked the corner of her mouth: "Let's have a bowl, let's have a bowl~"
Du Heng was happy: "Okay, wait!"
Du Heng had already prepared a bamboo shauke for wine harvesting, and Xuanyu helped make this bamboo shauke.It is said that Xuanyu is really a good man who must be at home. The bamboo shaukes he makes are exquisite and practical, but Du Heng is embarrassed to let him continue to make them.
This bamboo shauke is one foot in diameter and eight inches in depth. The bottom of the shauke that has been cleaned long ago is pressed into a wooden barrel, and the wine pulp penetrates from the outside of the shauke into the inside of the shauke.
Du Heng scooped up a full spoon with the wooden spoon he used to fetch the wine, and carefully poured the wine into the bowl that Jing Nan stretched out: "Taste first, I don't know the alcohol content now, don't get drunk .”
A large bowl of wine was poured by Du Heng into the clean white porcelain bowl, the color of the wine was yellowish without any impurities.When it is poured into the bowl and shaken slightly, there will be a circle of ripples around the bowl.This is completely different from the appearance of clear water in a bowl. Although Du Heng is not very good at tasting wine, he can tell that this is wine.
A smell of alcohol spread over the surface, and Jing Nan took a sip happily: "Yeah!! Good wine!!"
Jing Nan raised his hand and handed it to Feng Gui: "Try it, it's no worse than the wine brewed by immortals." Feng Gui took a sip of Jing Nan's bowl and said, "Well, it's not bad."
The wine tastes mellow, and the wine flows smoothly from the lips and tongue to the stomach and intestines. The wine has a soft taste, and there will be a sweet taste when you sip it carefully.After drinking it, you will feel a lingering fragrance in your mouth, neither mouth nor heartburn, and the aftertaste is quite exciting.
Different from ordinary baijiu that is spicy, this wine is just like Du Heng's person, soft but has stamina.
Feng Gui was very satisfied: "Good wine, can you fill me two bottles?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "It's good if you don't dislike it." He originally thought that if Fenggui and the others didn't like the wine he brewed, he would keep it for cooking.
Hearing what Du Heng said, Feng Gui took out two jade bottles from his sleeve: "Full up."
After taking a few sips of wine, Xuan Yu put down the bowl: "I'll drink it when I come back, now go up the mountain to find cypress branches."
Du Heng waved his hand: "Be careful~"
Du Heng looked at Feng Gui and Jing Nan who were drinking from large bowls at the dining table. It seemed that today's breakfast was not finished so quickly.Du Heng said: "I'll build a small fumigated house first, you can eat first."
Fumigation of bacon generally needs to find a downwind outlet. Du Heng's mother would find a corner in her yard every year when fumigation of bacon.After hanging the bacon on the crossed logs, Mama Du built a fire under the logs.When the fire stabilized, it was sprinkled with sawdust and covered with cypress branches.
The flames were covered by sawdust and became flickering, and when they met a cypress branch, a puff of green smoke would emerge.Green smoke curled up with the fragrance of wood and cypress branches, and then slowly fumigated and changed the color of the bacon on top.
There will be a layer of black-gray oily smoke on the skin of the fumigated bacon, but as long as it is washed with rice washing water, the golden skin and slightly transparent fat inside will be exposed.Because the fumigation smoke has temperature, the bacon after fumigation is actually cooked inside.This kind of bacon tastes fat but not greasy, whether it is used to stir-fry vegetables or steamed, it is an excellent delicacy.
In order to allow the green smoke to fumigate the bacon to the maximum extent, Mama Du also added some non-combustible boards next to the top wood to cover it.However, Mama Du's method of fumigation is still risky, that is, people need to keep an eye on it all the time.
If the fire below rises, and people don't find out in time, the flames will burn to the meat above.Every year, when someone fumigates bacon, the meat will burn while steaming.
In order to prevent the bacon he made so hard from turning into roasted meat, Du Heng plans to build a new type of fumigation stove.
Du Heng went out of the yard to measure the wind direction. At this time, the wind was blowing from the northwest, so Du Heng found a flat land on the southeast corner outside his yard.After a piece of earth-introducing talisman went down, a seven-foot-high adobe house appeared on the flat ground.The house faces east with a door frame that can accommodate one person, and there is an exhaust hole above the door frame.
The house is not big, five feet long, seven feet high and only four feet wide.As soon as you look up, you can see the criss-crossing hooks above your head, and one or two skewers of meat can be hung on each hook.In addition to hanging meat on the roof, there is also a row of criss-cross barbed wire about four feet above the ground, and there are hooks under the net.
He can put two layers of meat in such a room, and a person as tall as Du Heng standing at the door can reach the corner with a simple fork.
Du Heng looked at the big room with satisfaction, and his eyes fell on the wall facing the door, which had many holes.When smoke is lit in the small room next door, the smoke will run along these holes to the room where the bacon is hung.
Du Heng clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Perfect~" The world of comprehension is good, and a room for fumigation of bacon can be harvested with such an edible talisman.If it were left in his hometown, the prototype of the house would not be able to come out within two or three days.
Du Heng pinched out a wooden talisman and made a door on the side of the big room. He opened and closed the door, and the door and the door frame were tightly fitted.In this way, when he fumigated, the smoke would not come out too much, and he would not have to worry about something coming in and ruining his bacon.
Jing Nan leaned against the courtyard door and looked at Du Heng: "What are you doing? You're so ugly."
When Jing Nan said this, Du Heng was very unconvinced: "This is a house where bacon is fumigated, isn't it ugly?"
Du Heng looked at the house he made, and then looked at the surrounding houses.Even if he brought his own father filter, he has to admit: "It seems...it's really ugly..."
At first glance, Du Heng's adobe house looks like a house with a small tail behind it, which is really incongruous.Du Heng hummed and made excuses for himself: "Just be practical, um... just be practical."
Anyway, once the aura is withdrawn after it is used up, the house will turn into mud.
Jing Nan smiled and said, "Okay, don't make excuses. Didn't you say you want sawdust and melon husks? Come with me."
Du Heng hurriedly followed: "Hey, good~"
Du Heng thought that Jing Nan would lead him to Ling Zhitian, and then find some spiritual fruits from a certain corner.Unexpectedly, Jing Nan took Du Heng directly to his house.
Du Heng was taken aback: "Hey? Jing Nan, do you want to take me to your house?"
Jing Nan looked at Du Heng suspiciously: "How do you say that? I didn't do anything harmful to nature, and what you said made me feel like I was going to sell you."
Du Heng quickly explained: "No, it's just that you suddenly invited me to your house, and I was flattered."
Jing Nan let out a snort: "Du Heng, your memory may not be very good. How many times have I invited you before? Can you tell me what your conscience is?"
Du Heng was a little confused, he didn't seem to care.Suddenly he remembered that on the first day he came to the village, Jing Nan invited him to live in his house.It was at that time that he felt that Xuanyu stood in front of the small dilapidated house, which was very bleak, so he didn't go.
later?It happened a few times later, the most recent day when Xuanyu went out, Jing Nan invited him out.
Jing Nan shook his hands in his pocket, and he yawned: "Okay, okay, don't show that expression, those who don't know think I've done something to you. By the way, when you get to my house, don't touch it. Ah. Some spiritual plants in my family are in trouble, if you are accidentally poisoned, Xuanyu can kill me." Du Heng smiled shyly: "Don't worry, I promise not to touch it randomly."
He finally understood why he didn't dare to go to Jing Nan's house, because Jing Nan's identity was a doctor.Du Heng thinks that being a doctor is a mysterious and lofty profession, and many doctors are obsessed with cleanliness.
Du Heng has a relative who is a doctor. Every time he goes to that relative's house, Du Heng doesn't even dare to breathe and just sits on the sofa stiffly.His relative wanted to use a tape measure to measure the placement of the items in the house. The floor of the house was not stained, and Du Heng felt that he had stained the floor of his house when he walked on the ground.
In Du Heng's impression, doctors exist like this.And Jing Nan should be such a doctor... right?
56
After a while, he walked to the door of Jing Nan's house.Speaking of which, the layout of Jingnan's house and his own is actually similar, they are both houses designed by Jinghong, and the inside is similar... right?
As a result, as soon as Jing Nan pushed open the door, Du Heng was dumbfounded.Look, what did he see?He saw an orchard! !There is an orchard in the frozen and snowy yard outside!
Jing Nan staggered to the courtyard gate, and he waved: "Come in, what are you looking at at the gate?"
Du Heng said in shock: "How come there are so many fruit trees?"
Jing Nan laughed: "As long as you want, there can be an orchard in your yard, what's so special about it. Things that can be done with a formation, don't be dazed, come in."
Du Heng felt that he had walked into a fantasy world, he followed Jing Nan and walked under the tree.Some trees are hung with a tree of flowers, some with a tree of fruit, and some with flowers and fruits hanging on them.The red, green and green in the courtyard are really beautiful. Under the trees, there is a path paved with bluestones that leads to the distance.
Du Heng looked up, and saw Jing Nan's house hidden in the depths of the fruit forest, only the rooms and terrace on the second floor could be seen.Du Heng was amazed: "It's amazing."
Jing Nan walked and stood under a pear tree, only to see that the tree was full of fist-sized yellow pears.Jing Nan reached out and picked two pears from the top of the tree: "It should be ripe..." He picked up one of the pears and took a bite: "Well, it's ripe."
Then he threw another pear to Du Heng: "Usually you cook the meals for me to taste, this time you try my spiritual fruit?"
Du Heng caught the heavy pear, and said with a smile: "Usually, do you pick the spiritual fruit you give me from this yard?"
Jing Nan shook his head: "Yes, but there were not many mature spiritual fruits before, and there will be more fruits that can be eaten after a while."
Du Heng took a bite of the pear, and the sweet juice burst out in his mouth, and the juice that he hadn't swallowed in time slid down the corner of his lips.Du Heng wiped the corner of his mouth in embarrassment, and he smacked his lips: "It's so sweet! This pear is delicious."
Jing Nan put up a thumbs up and smiled: "You are knowledgeable. This is the Xueyu pear brought by Fenggui from the Xueyu Fox Clan. This year is the first time it bears fruit. You are lucky. The first time you come to the door, the fruit is ripe. Wait. Take it a little away."
Du Heng happily said: "Okay, thank you Jing Nan."
Jing Nan said: "Look at the melons and fruits in my yard that you can use. Just pick what you need. This way there is no danger in the yard. Just pay attention to your steps and see that I have set up a formation. Lingzhi will avoid it."
Du Heng looked at his feet, and saw that there were formations shining red aura under the surrounding fruit trees. The formations drew red circles, and there were one or two spiritual plants in each circle.
Du Heng replied: "Okay!"
Jing Nan gnawed on a pear and walked in front: "I'll find you a basket. By the way, do you want to use these fruits to fumigate bacon? Put them directly on the fire?"
Du Heng smiled and said, "No, just use the peel. Isn't it too wasteful to roast the flesh inside?"
Jing Nan nodded thoughtfully: "That's right..."
Jingnan's orchard is very large. Du Heng saw hundreds of fruit trees at a cursory glance.But the strange thing is that they can't be seen outside the yard.
Jing Nan explained: "Is there a formation in the courtyard~ Speaking of which, this formation was added with the help of your family Xuanyu. When your cultivation reaches a certain level, you will also build an orchard in the yard. You are better at planting than me. If you eat it, the fruit that will grow by then will definitely be better than the ones in my yard."
Du Heng was actually inspired, he wanted to cultivate hard just for this big orchard!
Du Heng originally thought that the [-]-acre Spiritual Plant Garden in the mountain depression was all Jing Nan planted, but when he went to Jing Nan's house, he found that the previous [-]-acre Spiritual Plant Garden was not as good as a corner here.
Du Heng followed Jing Nan through the bluestone path to his house. The layout of Jing Nan's house was very similar to that of Du Heng's house, and it also had a porch.It's just that this is a symmetrical house type, the terrace of Du Heng's house is on the east side, and that of Jing Nan's house is on the west side.Below the balcony of Du Heng's house is his kitchen, so there is a west-facing room on the first floor of Jing Nan's house, but this room is used by Jing Nan to store sundries.
Starting from the corridor, Du Heng saw countless panniers, each of which was full of spiritual plants.Baskets stacked on top of each other, and baskets within baskets, Jing Nan's house looks dirty, how can I imagine a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine who is obsessed with cleanliness?
Jing Nan walked under the eaves of the corridor, and he kicked away the baskets blocking the road: "Well... it seems... it's here, right?"
Du Heng stretched his neck, he didn't even eat pears: "What are you looking for?"
Jing Nan scratched her hair generously: "Didn't you mean the peel? In autumn, I harvested some oranges, and the peeled ones were thrown here. But it seems a bit hard to find..."
Du Heng's head was covered with cold sweat: "Don't worry, just take your time."
Jing Nan lifted a basket, but he shook the basket instead, and the green and yellow spiritual plants in the basket scattered all over the ground.Jing Nan muttered: "Did I lose it? No way, I'm not so diligent..."
Du Heng glanced at Jingnan's room through the window, and saw that everything he saw was filled with spiritual plants.Those who didn't know it thought that when they arrived at the hay shed, Jing Nan's house was filled with a hay... Ah bah, the fragrance of Lingzhi.Standing under the eaves of the corridor and sniffing, Du Heng felt that his chest was more open.
Du Heng looked at the west window of Jing Nan's house, and saw tall hay piled inside, and a big gray bird was making a nest above the hay.
Du Heng sighed, after Xuan Yu, Jing Nan's boss persona also collapsed.
Now there are three people in the village, and the one who still maintains the master set is Xiaoxiao's uncle Fenggui.But Fenggui has always been a big monster, Du Heng knew it from the day he met Xuanyu.Fenggui's character design will never collapse!Absolutely not! !
Jing Nan was still searching hard, the Ling Zhi beside him was piled up in a pile, Jing Nan's body was covered with Ling Zhi's debris.In the end, Jing Nan successfully fished out a basket: "I found it!! I said I am not so diligent~"
Du Heng's head was dripping with cold sweat, he should have thought about it a long time ago, Jing Nan's casual temperament doesn't look like the kind of cautious and serious person.In fact, before Jing Nan took out the basket, Du Heng had no hope.The orange peels eaten in autumn are just piled up in the basket, so they should have been moldy and rotted long ago, right?
As a result, when Du Heng poked his head out to take a look, he saw Jing Nan holding half of the basket full of golden orange peels in his hand.
Jing Nan smiled and said: "This is the orange left after I used it as medicine. This kind of orange is more effective in medicine when it is green. I don't use the leftover bad fruit. It turned out to be quite good when it matured. Eat it, next year I will save one for you to taste?"
Du Heng said gratefully: "Thank you Jing Nan." With this half box of orange peels, at least Du Heng's first stove of bacon can be fumigated.
Jing Nan said: "There are still some grapefruits on the tree over there, do you want it?"
Grapefruit?Du Heng's eyes lit up: "Yes! Fumigate the grapefruit peel on the cypress branch, and the smoke will have the fragrance of grapefruit, and the fumigated bacon will be delicious."
Jing Nan picked up a clean pannier and carried it on his back. He walked outside the verandah and shook: "Come, follow me."
Du Heng joyfully carried half a box of orange peels on his back and followed Jing Nan. Jing Nan walked westward for a few hundred meters. Du Heng thought it should be several hundred meters, because he also turned over a small hill.
Hundreds of meters away, there are five grapefruit trees in a row. There are scattered grapefruits hanging on the trees, and each grapefruit is bigger than Du Heng's head!
Du Heng's eyes lit up: "What a big grapefruit!"
Jing Nan turned her head quietly and said: "It looks big, but it's actually unpalatable. The meat inside is thick and there are many sour seeds. Even Xiaoxiao doesn't like it. I want to eat it. These few trees have been eliminated, but there is a kind of elixir that needs to be used as medicine, so I can only keep it."
Du Heng said with a smile: "That's because you didn't find the right method. Watch and wait for me to make grapefruit tea for you. I promise you will like it."
Jing Nan looked Du Heng up and down: "Can it really be eaten?" Du Heng said affirmatively: "If you can eat it, just trust me."
Jing Nan stood under the tree, and with a twist of the spirit in his hand, the five grapefruits on the tree fell to the ground with a plop.Du Heng picked up a grapefruit and patted it, good guy, it's heavy.This grapefruit looks good!
Jing Nan said: "Put it on the ground first, and I'll ask the puppet to move it back for you later. See if there are any fruits you can pick."
Hearing what Jing Nan said, Du Heng immediately became interested. He unloaded the back basket, and the two walked along the bluestone path under the fruit trees.
Just like what Jing Nan said, Du Heng came at the wrong time. Although there are formations in the courtyard, not many fruit trees here are ripe.After a while, there should be a lot of fruit ripening, Du Heng began to look forward to it, there are too many fruit trees in the yard of Jing Nan's house.There are also some unknown spiritual fruits, Du Heng thinks he has discovered a treasure.
Jing Nan yawned: "I'm going to Feng Gui's home to catch up on sleep later, so don't leave me lunch."
Du Heng nodded, but he immediately had doubts: "Why did you go to Fenggui's house to sleep? I can also sleep at my house."
Jing Nan smiled wretchedly: "Of course it's because Feng Gui's bed is not ordinary, and you can feel refreshed after a short sleep."
Du Heng thought of the shrill woman's cry last night, and he looked in the direction of Jing Nan's house: "Jing Nan, that Jing Hong..."
Jing Nan said: "What can happen, I can't die. But her meridians have just been connected, so she can only lie down."
Du Heng sighed a little: "Jing Nan, did you give up your room to Jing Hong?"
Jing Nan looked at Du Heng strangely: "What nonsense are you talking about? She sleeps in my room with a woman? Would I be ashamed if I said it?"
Du Heng was a little puzzled: "Hey? Then where did she sleep?" Jing Nan was even more surprised: "Didn't you see her just now?"
Du Heng was puzzled: "No wow..." When did he see Jinghong?
Jing Nan kindly reminded, "That bird in the west room."
Du Heng petrified with a click, but Jinghong turned out to be that big gray bird? ?Du Heng almost cried, where was that girl yesterday?How did the girl turn into a bird?
Jing Nan patted Du Heng's shoulder: "What kind of expressions are these? Are you so shocked to see Yaoxiu's monster shape? Don't you look at the smiling monster shape every day?"
Du Heng wanted to cry but had no tears: "Smiling is different..."
The distraught Du Heng followed Jing Nan out of the house with his back on his back, Jing Nan yawned in front of him: "I won't send you back, I'll sleep on Feng Gui's bed first."
Du Heng was hit, and he was a little floating when he walked: "Oh, you go to sleep..."
Fenggui's female secretary opened the door for Jing Nan, who yawned and said, "Go and help Du Heng carry the grapefruit into the courtyard of Xuanyu's house."
The leading female history nodded, and then two identical puppets came out from behind and walked towards Jing Nan's house.
Du Heng was still immersed in the disillusionment of a good girl turning into a bird, and when he saw Xuan Yu, he felt wronged: "Xuan Yu, let me tell you, she turned out to be a bird after the surprise yesterday! "
Xuan Yu couldn't understand Du Heng's collapse, he was very calm: "Don't you like birds?"
Holding and smiling every day, don't you like it?
57
Du Heng was devastated: "Why is there such a difference between the demon cultivator's human form and the main body?"
Xuanyu blinked and changed the subject: "I... I came back from the Nanshan cypress branch, would you like to take a look?"
Du Heng's thoughts were taken astray: "Huh? Let me see."
The basket behind Xuanyu's back was full of cypress branches, these cypress branches were dark green in color, with cypress fruit the size of a little finger bearing on them.Du Heng turned it over, and a scent of cypress came out.
Du Heng was very satisfied: "Very good! Thank you Xuanyu."
Xuanyu said: "There are formations in the back basket, I don't know if the ones I picked are enough for you, if they are not enough, I will pick them again."
Du Heng nodded hurriedly: "Enough is enough."
Xuan Yu said slowly: "I'm going to deal with the casings, didn't you say you're going to make sausages today?"
Du Heng had completely forgotten how heavy it is for a good girl to become a bird, he nodded: "Okay, okay, you go and deal with the casings, I'll deal with the meat after I've hung the bacon."
Du Heng and Xuanyu got busy separately, Shan Gao's intestines were dirty and smelly, but Xuanyu didn't even frown when handling it.
He moved a stool and sat outside the yard watching Du Heng start a fire: "Do you need my help?"
The first furnace of bacon dried yesterday had been hung in the small house by Du Heng. Du Heng clamped a piece of burning bloodthirsty vine and ignited the wood. When the fire of the wood was burning, he sprinkled sawdust on it.
Hearing what Xuanyu said, Du Heng said with a smile: "I still want to ask you if you need my help. Is it a bit troublesome for you to deal with the intestines?"
Xuanyu said seriously: "It's a bit disgusting, but it's something that can't be helped."
Du Heng picked up a handful of cypress branches and stuffed them into the small room. White smoke suddenly appeared from among the branches, and a smoky smell wafted out.
Xuan Yu sniffed the scent: "It's a bit special."
Du Heng laughed and said: "Many people are not used to smelling or eating the smokey smell of bacon, but I think it is delicious." Xuan Yu said solemnly: "You must be delicious."
Du Heng covered the wood with a layer of cypress branches: "The next step is to slowly fumigate, and the fumigation should be ready by now tomorrow."
Xuanyu said: "Shouldn't we also watch at night?"
Du Heng looked at the sky: "At night, you can basically ignore it, as long as there are no small animals to cause damage, there will be no problem."
When the blue smoke from the fumigation room began to rise slowly and steadily, Du Heng stood up.
He said to Xuanyu: "Let me deal with the casings, can you help me cut some fat and thin mountain paste meat? No skin, cut it into slices for me, no need to chop. I will season it later."
Xuan Yu responded: "Okay..."
At this time, Xiaoxiao panicked and ran out of the yard. He danced and danced: "Chirp, chirp, chirp, chirp!!"
As soon as Xuanyu's expression changed, he stood up from the stool suddenly, and then he cleaned the dirt on his hands with a flash of inspiration.
Seeing Xuan Yu rushing to the kitchen, Du Heng also ran in: "What's the matter? What's the matter?"
In the kitchen, Feng Gui threw herself on the dining table, spilling half of the wine in front of her.
Xuan Yu sighed helplessly: "Drunk."
Du Heng: ...Feng Gui can get drunk?How much did he drink?
Du Heng lifted the lid of the wine barrel suspiciously, only to see that only half of the original liquor remained in the barrel.Fenggui is really massive!
Based on Du Heng's judgment: "Fenggui drank at least five catties..."
Xuan Yu sighed, and dragged Feng Gui to the living room with his arms in his arms: "This guy has been greedy for alcohol for a day or two, he is careless."
Du Heng looked at Fenggui with some distress: "Xuanyu, hold him, don't drag him..."
Xuanyu dragged Fenggui very impolitely, as if he was holding a mop, Fenggui's face was reddish and he moaned, "One more...a bowl..."
Xuan Yu dragged Feng Gui to the room where he used to sleep, and he casually threw Feng Gui on the ground: "Maybe I won't be able to wake up today."
Du Heng took a quilt from upstairs and covered Feng Gui: "Why don't you move upstairs, there are beds upstairs."
Xuan Yu said calmly: "Feng Gui is not used to sleeping in other people's beds, nor does he like others sleeping in his bed."
Du Heng glanced at Xuan Yu: "Now Jing Nan is sleeping on Feng Gui's bed, how do you explain it?"
Xuan Yu said without changing his expression, "Jing Nan is an exception. In short, Feng Gui cannot sleep in our bed."
Feng Gui turned over and was wrapped in a quilt, Du Heng wanted to cry seeing him like this.The good-looking man actually ended up lying dead on the ground, miserable, too miserable.
Xuan Yu pulled a blanket and threw it on Feng Gui's head. He said to Du Heng calmly, "Let's go, let's go cut the meat."
Du Heng glanced at Feng Gui with regret, the scene of the beauty drunk was really beautiful, but Feng Gui's head was covered by the blanket, Du Heng could only go out regretfully.
Xiaoxiao poked his head at the door, Xuanyu said to him: "Your uncle is drunk."
Xiaoxiao didn't know what he thought of, his eyes lit up immediately: "Jiujiu?"
Xuan Yu said: "Jing Nan is asleep too, so no one cares about you today."
Xiaoxiao was happy when he heard it, and he squinted his eyes and let out a series of hissing sounds.
Without Jing Nan and Feng Gui bothering them, Du Heng and Xuan Yu cooperated very well.Du Heng quickly cleaned out a complete casing. The so-called casing refers to the outermost layer of the small intestine. Not all kinds of intestines can be used to stuff sausages.
The cleaned casings were slightly transparent, with only a thin layer of membrane, but after being pulled apart, they were very long, as long as from the kitchen door to the yard gate.
Xuan Yu looked at the thin casing and said: "Yunyan Building also has intestines, but it's not like this. Their intestines are stuffed with meat and boiled in water."
Du Heng blinked: "Is it delicious?"
Xuanyu said with a delicate expression: "It smells a bit fishy, but many monks like that smell."
Some demon cultivators even came to Lingxi Town just because of this smell, Xuanyu couldn't understand.
Du Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, the sausages I made won't smell fishy."
The reason for the stench is that the intestines and meat have not been properly seasoned. Du Heng is very knowledgeable about seasoning.
The large wooden basin is full of evenly sliced meat slices, which are roughly half-fat and medium-rare.Compared with the pigs raised at home, mountain paste has much leaner meat. At first, Du Heng was worried that mountain paste meat would have a strange taste.But when he ate mountain paste meat for the first time, he knew he was thinking too much.
Although Shan Gao is a monster, they are also wild animals that have absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon and run in the mountains. Speaking of which, their meat is also rich in aura.There will be no strange smell like that of pigs raised in human society.
The red chili was poured into the sliced meat by Du Heng. In addition to the chili, Du Heng also added pepper powder, salt, sugar and white wine...
Xuan Yu couldn't help but sneezed: "It smells so good."
Du Heng smiled: "Sichuan-flavored sausages have this taste, you go out for a while, and you can come in after I stir them."
Xuan Yu shook his head: "It's okay, it smells good after smelling it carefully."
Du Heng suddenly remembered something, he raised his head and blinked: "Xuanyu, can't you eat spicy food?"
Until now, Du Heng is not sure which flavor Xuanyu prefers. If Xuanyu can't eat spicy food, he will make less spicy sausages.
Xuan Yu said seriously: "I can eat, I love everything you cook."
Du Heng showed a relaxed smile: "That's good, I'll make two flavors of sausage later, one sweet and one spicy. Try which one you like, if you like it, I will make more sausages next time Some."
The marinated meat was stained with red chili powder, Du Heng sniffed it and was very satisfied: "Fenggui must be satisfied with this level of spiciness."
Xuanyu quietly added next to it: "I am also very satisfied."
Du Heng laughed hahaha: "Come on, let's stuff the meat into the casing together."
It is said that the small intestine of a pig can hold the meat of a whole pig.Du Heng has never actually operated it, but he knows that the inside of the casing is really good for stuffing meat.Just be careful when stuffing the meat. If you use too much force, the meat will break through the casing and slip out. If you use too little force, the stuffed meat will be uneven.
In Du Heng's hometown, the meat stuffing process is replaced by machinery, and a large pot of meat can be stuffed in minutes on the sausage machine.But here, Du Heng can only adopt the most primitive method - using hand gags.
One end of the casing is very soft, and it is quite difficult to stuff meat into it. However, when Du Heng was a child, he saw Du's mother stuffing meat in the traditional way.
Du Heng found a thin bamboo tube, which was thinner than casings and about ten inches long.Du Heng put the casing outside the bamboo tube, tied a knot on the other end of the casing, and then put the casing up on the bamboo tube.
The bamboo tube has been carefully polished and feels particularly smooth.The mouth of a hard bamboo tube is much easier to stuff meat than the mouth of a soft casing. Du Heng stuffed a few pieces of meat into the bamboo tube with ease. It slides easily into the casing at the back.
As more and more pieces of meat are stuffed, the casings slide down from the outside of the bamboo tube in an orderly manner.
Du Heng was very satisfied: "Look, although the old method took a little longer, it still works!"
Xuanyu stood by and studied for a while: "Can I try this?" Du Heng handed the bamboo tube to Xuanyu: "Ang, but you have to be careful, you can't stuff too much at once, otherwise..."
Before Du Heng finished speaking, he saw Xuan Yu's hand waving afterimages as if consecrated.I saw a flash of inspiration in his hand, and the pieces of meat in the wooden basin jumped into the wooden barrel one by one as if they had become conscious.Then the small wooden stick used to poke the meat was also controlled by spiritual energy
