Searching for food through the beast world

Plum Roasted Pork

The earth snail beef completely conquered everyone today, although after they finished eating, they realized that their bodies were really tainted with a strange smell, especially Ding Xiao's hand that took the earth snail meat was yellow and couldn't be washed off. The color and the bowl are also stained and the taste remains.But that doesn't stop everyone from liking it.

After lunch, the sun is warming up.In the season of early April, it is still very cold in the morning and evening near Tianhe Village, but you will feel hot if you wear a lot of clothes under the sun at noon.People who are used to the climate here are naturally fine, and Ding Xiao is no exception. After all, he was originally from the north.It's just that I don't feel so comfortable wearing a leather jacket in spring.

After eating and drinking enough, people continued to gather wild vegetables.This time, people's focus shifted to the earth snails besides the mud vegetables, but because the males had dug up the surrounding area just now, the half-orcs obviously didn't gain anything.This makes everyone a little upset.So Muwa proposed to look for it on the west side of the mountain, where there are many sour plum trees.

Ding Xiao calculated the season. If it is a plum tree, April should be the season for picking green plums.Although it cannot be paired with curry, it is also good to make pickled plums.In summer, I like sour plum soup the most. If I can pick green plums, I can also try smoked dark plums.It doesn’t matter if you can’t make ebony plums, it’s okay to have pickled plums soaked in water.My mouth is watering just thinking about it, and my cheeks are sour.

After tidying up the things on the ground just now, everyone put the pots and bowls here temporarily, and rushed to the west slope of Taohua Mountain with empty baskets and animal skin bags on their backs.

Along the way, they never miss the earth snails.Also, although there are a lot of these earth snails, they are not so dense that they pile up in piles, and the number is still behind Ding Xiao's acceptable range.Of course, ingredients of this texture can be dried and left dry at first glance.And he also planned to grind the soil snails into powder after drying, and use them directly as curry powder in the future.In fact, if it wasn't for the strong smell, he even wanted to use it as a yellow dye.

Because Du and Dongyi didn't have a partner, and the three single males didn't get the permission of the two half-orc cubs, so their group had to leave.Ding Xiao suggested as he walked: "Kun, look at the current situation. Males can't hump half-orcs and females who are not relatives and partners. This will slow down the speed, right? And the walking speed of half-orcs is obviously not as fast as your males. If there is a cart that can sit on people, wouldn’t it be much faster if a male pulls it?” Although he really wanted to say that it would be good to use cows, horses, donkeys, etc., but thinking about the speed and strength of these animals, he was being discriminated against. Those who are in the ranks, he will give up.

Kun thought about this question carefully, and then communicated with He on the side: "Second Uncle, Xiaoxiao is a good suggestion."

He also nodded in agreement: "It's really good. But it's okay on the flat ground and on the road without many weeds. If you pull the car up the mountain, it must be very bumpy and uncomfortable to sit on."

Kun didn't think about pulling carts up the mountain, so he said: "There are small roads between our small market and other villages. If we can make carts and pull villagers from other villages to buy and sell things, wouldn't it be better?" Is it more convenient? In this way, half-orcs and females without mates and brothers may also come more."

After hearing this, He's eyes lit up immediately.Kun's idea is really quite good. Although the speed of the exchange will be slower, it can also go back and forth within a day.The point is so that there are some orcs and females who have no mates and brothers to join in the fun.And don't the single males in Tianhe Village have a better chance? "That's a good idea! Talk to your elder brother when you get back, he should agree!"

Ding Xiao was listening, feeling a little excited in his heart.Isn't this the inter-village bus!With this convenient transportation, more people will definitely be attracted to visit the market. By then, Tianhe Village will definitely be very lively and richer! "If the road between the villages is uneven, we can take a rest. This way the people in the car will not be too bumpy, and the males will save more effort pulling the cart!"

Father He looked at his cub and nodded proudly: "Xiaoxiao is right." Maybe Kun would be more suitable to be the successor of the village chief if he had Xiaoxiao?But it is better to maintain the status quo, so that the children can be free.

In fact, Ding Xiao had already found many plum trees before reaching the west hillside.Some of them are ornamental plums, and now there are no shadows of flowers, but there are also many fruiting plum trees. Almost every fruiting plum tree has plums of different sizes and colors.This made Ding Xiao very happy.

The plums were all red, yellowish red, orange and lemon yellow, and he even found some trees bearing violet fruit.Of course, the blue plums are the most numerous, but the size of this kind of plums is much bigger than what Ding Xiao remembered.

Scanning with the eyes of the sky, these plums have similar effects, but only the purple plum is different, and this kind of plum is much smaller than the others, about the size of a big cherry, and has the effect of clearing the mind and eye-catching.Ding Xiao asked Kun to pick and taste plums of various colors.The completely red taste is sour and sweet, although it is still very sour, but with his ability to bear it, he can eat one or two fruits at a time.In fact, it is still very smooth, slightly sweeter than he expected.The other is that the closer to the color of the plum, the more sour, and the taste of the purple plum is the most sour. After biting a little bit of the skin, Ding Xiao was immediately sour.It seems that this thing can only be used as a sour seasoning without being marinated in sugar.

Jing is the happiest when he sees fruits of different sizes and colors.Although he also knows that sour plums are painful to eat, but when he was a child, his father picked red sour plums for him, and he thought it was good to eat the sourness. "Muwa, I want red plums! Pick more!"

Muwa grinned: "It's so sour and unpalatable."

Jing with her hips on her hips stared: "I'm the one who eats bad food, won't you pick it up for me?"

The shingle hurriedly said: "How can I do it! I'd be happy to pick it for you, I'll go right away, I'm sure everyone will be popular and big!"

Seeing the way the two friends communicated, Ding Xiao couldn't help laughing.But he must have plums. "Kun, I want a basket of plums."

Brother Kun didn't have the poor performance of the wooden tiles at all. He smiled and said that he had to pick it, so he had to pick it!And the ingredients in Xiaoxiao's hands will definitely become particularly delicious food.So he nodded immediately without hesitation. "Hmm. The other colors are not good?"

Ding Xiao replied: "All of them. But I want a basket of green plums alone, and I will pickle them when I go back." At this point, he pulled Kun's arm, motioned the big guy to bend down, and then whispered in Kun's ear, " One basket may not be enough, but pick one basket first.” In fact, he also wanted to try plum vinegar.The key is that the plums will be gone after the season, so a little more pickling will still have many uses.For example, it can be used to make plum sauce, and it can be used as a sauce for dipping meat or as a dessert.Salted plums also have medicinal properties.Whatever I say, I have to try smoking ebony plums. If I make it, I really need a lot of plums!

Hearing what their son said, Father He and Father Joan also decided to help pick the fruit.Although these sour plums can be counted with five fingers after they have lived for more than a hundred years, but think about the earth snails in the morning and the beef at noon, and think about the pearl fruit before. My son said it was delicious and useful. Then it must be delicious and useful!

To be honest, plum trees are quite tall. Ding Xiao had never seen plum trees in his life, but the plum trees in front of him, ranging from seven or eight meters to more than 20 meters, really made him Alexander.

YouQi watched Liancai, Jing and Du happily climb up the tree, and then sat on the branch to pick fruit happily.The three orc cubs left under the tree were not happy.Led by Ding Xiao, supplemented by Luxi and Dongyi, the three of them were full of grief.Watching them pick fruit seems to be fun, but such a tall tree... looks dangerous!

Except for Kun and Apa Qiong and He Apa, the others also picked a small bag of red plums, and then fell off the tree.Few people like to eat this kind of sour food, and the big guys pick it just for fun.After all, not many people like Jing and Ding Xiao perfectly accept the acidity of red plums.It's just that these males are surprisingly smart today, and even Muwa didn't make a mistake by saying that sour plums are something only pregnant females like to eat.Otherwise... hum!

Since these fruits are not edible varieties, almost zero people come to pick them.Basically, a single tree is enough for them to fill the bamboo baskets to the brim, but for this they have to pick and choose from the tree, specially choosing the ones that are big and good-looking.

It didn't take long for Kun to come down from the tree last, and the basket behind his back was filled with green plums the size of a fist.The tops of each fruit are bright and bright, and they have been carefully selected at first glance.Moreover, Brother Kun's animal skin satchel contained about [-] bright red ripe plums, which made the small bag bulge, but luckily it was not broken after opening it.

Ding Xiao is very satisfied with these green plums, as well as the various plums picked by Dad and Dad. It seems that he has been busy for the past two days after returning home!

Because the harvest was quite rich, the big guys didn't go any further. After picking some earth snails and mud vegetables nearby, they all chose to go home.

Of course, things need to be allocated before going back.Especially the meat of camel cattle, each male gets a big piece.Followed by earth snails.Originally, the collected things should go to whoever picked them, but this group of people agreed that only Ding Xiao could make this thing well, so everyone only took five back and kept them for their own research, and the rest were for their own research. Gave Ding a laugh.Of course, it wasn't for nothing. Ding laughed and taught them how to turn the earth snail into delicious sauces and stews.

For the sudden increase of so many snails, I felt that the pears were so big. The main reason was that the number suddenly increased, and I was a little confused.Although these earth snails are the size of ordinary corn cobs, they are not light in weight.But this is also good, slice it and dry it immediately after going back, if it is sure that it can be made into curry powder, it will be more convenient.Distribute the prepared curry powder to everyone, which is easy to make and easy to carry.

After returning home, Ding Xiao began to dump these baskets of harvest.

The three baskets of plums don't look like much on the mountain, but when they are taken home and placed on the ground, they are immediately conspicuous.Ding Xiao rubbed his nose, he really made a wrong estimate.In fact, get a basket first and try to make it. It would be better to pick it when it is ready, right?Anyway, there are still some days before the plums fall from the tree.

Spread out these fruits and wild vegetables in my yard, and then look at the shadows on the ground.Ding Xiao reckoned that it should be past three o'clock in the afternoon. After walking outside for a day, digging wild vegetables and looking up at them picking fruits, he was indeed very tired.Let's rest after making dinner.As for making it tomorrow, it doesn't matter if he cooks the sauce or marinates it overnight.Oh, by the way, that bag of peach blossoms still needs to be quickly taken out and paved. I guess if it is covered until tomorrow morning, it will all be rotten.

At noon, Papa Qiong only used part of the meat to make peach blossom balls from the three-foot pig hunted, and took the rest back. Ding Xiao decided to use pork belly to make a pot of roasted pork with plums.

In his previous life, he had eaten roasted pork with plums made by his father, but at that time he used salted plums.The roasted pork with plums not only tastes more refreshing, but also has a sour taste that relieves greasiness, and the meat is also particularly soft and tender.Although the plums are not pickled now, those ripe red plums should have the same effect, and they even have the fragrance of fresh plums.

Although the whole family was very reluctant to let Xiaoxiao continue to go into the kitchen to cook food as soon as he got home, but they really wanted to taste the meat made from this kind of sour plum.And looking at the excited expression on Xiaoxiao's face, he knew that he would not be happy if he was not allowed to mess with him.

The prime pork belly was cut into chunks.Then put it in water to blanch the bleeding foam, and then put it in the fried sugar and fry it for aroma and color.Pour boiling water into the pot to cover the meat, Xiaoxiao put the homemade five-spice seasoning packet into the pot.The next step is to pit those red plums and cut them into pieces.

Since not everyone can accept the sour taste of this sour plum, Ding Xiao decided to put three plums.Although the quantity is not large, the size is big enough. If it wasn't for making a big jar of pork, he wouldn't be able to put so much. After all, it's not good if the meat comes out too sour.Although this overripe plum was sweeter than what I remembered in my previous life, it was also very sour.

After the scent of spices was stewed in the pot, Ding Xiao put the plum meat cut into small pieces into the pot, and after stirring evenly, he immediately covered it, removed some of the heat from the stove, and started to simmer the plum meat on a low heat. Pork with plums and roasted pork.

Of course, it is definitely not enough to have meat at home.He had already dared to eat curry beef at noon, but now he dared to eat roasted pork with plums, he really couldn't bear it.So Ding Xiao decided to bake a few pancakes and eat them with roasted meat wrapped in plums. It would be nice to think about it!

But Joan's father still loves his cub very much.Hearing Xiaoxiao asked for pancakes, he quickly took over the job. "Go and rest for a while, I'll bake the cakes, and I'll just watch the meat in the pot."

Ding Xiao looked at his father's firm eyes, and knew that it was useless to say more.Forget it, anyway, Abba’s pancakes are also delicious, and the rest of the roast meat just needs to be kept from sticking to the pan.It's just that Dad and Dad always feel that they are too thin and therefore weak, which makes him very depressed.It is too unscientific to eat so much without gaining weight! ?If he hadn't really grown by nearly five centimeters since he drew the height scale last year, he would really be able to think that everything he ate passed through his intestines.

well.But it won't work if you continue to keep the ribs like this!Every time he touches Kun, he looks at himself sadly.Who wants to show ribs!Who doesn't want to have toned muscles!I can't do anything if I don't grow out.But really... I really want to grow some flesh. Seeing that those buddies have fleshy faces and arms with flesh and strength, he is very envious.Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s not muscle, it’s okay to have more fat, I said!
