Searching for food through the beast world

Village wine cellar

After hearing that the red sticky fruit is an edible fruit, Jing immediately showed an attitude of disbelief.Lu Xi, who also experienced the "life and death" also shook her head again and again.

Ding Xiao didn't say much to them, but begged his father to pick some off.

One of the main goals of Joan's father today, who has seen the benefits of red slime fruit, is this red slime fruit, so it is impossible to pick only a few after climbing the tree.It is easy to pick a bamboo basket full. Firstly, the size of the fruit is considerable, and secondly, the fruit of the red sticky fruit is relatively dense. There are at least a hundred or so fruits on a big tree.As Xiaoxiao said, if two red sticky fruit trees are transplanted in the field, at least the few of them who are used to eating fried vegetables and fried meat will no longer have to eat animal oil so greasy.

It was during lunch that Jing and Luxi knew how to use the red sticky fruit.Jing, the "victim" of the year, is now waiting by the pot with anticipation to enjoy the taste of fried chicken nuggets.

Papa Joan caught two pheasants and one badger in the morning.He also led these children to stab more than [-] fish in the river, although seven of them were harvested by Xiaoxiao, and five were fruits of his own labor.Children like Qi and Si went there for soy sauce, and the harvest was enough for them to have a full lunch at noon.

Fried fish replaced the usual grilled fish.The fish marinade mixed with ginger, garlic and fresh peppercorns is only paired with the sea salt brought by Xiaoxiao.Even so, everyone already felt that the fried fish was extremely delicious.The two flavors and textures are completely different from those of grilled fish, as well as the charred aroma unique to the cooking method of frying. For the orcs who are accustomed to the smell of barbecue, freshness and deliciousness are inevitable.The point was that it was much lighter than the few times they had fried food before.What's more, the most common way of frying in orc families is pancakes, and occasionally they also fry meat to eat. This is something that everyone will have the opportunity to eat after Ding Xiao comes.The magic of cooking is still a bit far away from everyone.Even if you want to do it occasionally, it may not be delicious.

Ding Xiao never thought that he could change the villagers' eating habits in less than a year since he came here. He just wanted to increase the food that everyone can eat.Not only to have more tricks, but also to live a more nourishing life for myself.He really didn't think about the nutritional combination, even if Tianyan could roughly describe the medicinal effects of each food, he could tell by looking at the physical conditions of these orcs.Whether it is a male half-orc or a female, each of them is strong and strong. Even if they get sick, it is because of natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it has little to do with diet.

So Ding Xiao thinks that besides being a habit and an inherent way of life, people here eat barbecue, and the biggest reason is that they can absorb most of the nutrition from meat.But this is obviously not a way of eating that the people of the Celestial Dynasty can tolerate. Ding Xiao's idea is very simple, it tastes better, since everyone likes it, it is also good to use it as a side dish for barbecue.

The chicken nuggets marinated with only five spices are fried until they are charred on the outside and tender in the inside, and then dipped in cranberry jam. The sweet and sour taste mixed with the delicious gravy of pheasant chicken makes these foodies completely forget image.Well, in fact, when they were together, they had no image at all, and they hadn't gotten together so happily in the past twenty days, and it didn't matter if they ate "heroically".Ding Xiao himself ate happily, but he was worried that the adult, Dad, would lose himself in order to feed these cubs.Fortunately, this group of guys also knew who hunted the pheasant, and all the chicken legs went into their father's bowl.

Of course, the most filling thing is the freshly baked white beans.It's still the same old way, wrap the white beans with mud and throw them into the fire, and eat them directly after they are cooked, which has a special flavor.People here used to burn and eat white beans like this.But the white beans are thrown directly into the fire, and when the inside is completely cooked, the outside is too black to eat, so since Xiaoxiao taught everyone to put mud on the outside, the white beans only need to throw away the skin, Nothing in it is wasted.And now it’s not just salt and pepper dipping, there are all kinds of seasoning sauces here, you can eat spicy if you want spicy food, and sweet food if you want sweet food.

Ding Xiao is actually a little depressed, that is, when will these guys independently develop some new gadgets for themselves to try?I don't mind trying it out.Of course, those that would be embarrassing are another matter.Especially food, as long as it doesn't kill anyone, he is willing to take the lead!

It's a pity that none of the people who are eating and drinking can comprehend Xiaoxiao's inner thoughts at all.The current state of these people can be described as unstoppable.And when the big guys wiped out all the ready-made things, Ding Xiao was already there holding a washed red berry to relieve his boredom.

Jing burped: "In a while, I'm going to pick a few and go home! Then tell my mom, I wasn't stupid when I was young!"

In fact, after hearing about Beijing's "glorious" history, Si has always been in a mood of admiration. "Jing, you are very powerful, I dare not eat anything."

Luxi took a sip of water: "I guess you still think he's amazing."

Si took the red berries handed over by Papa Joan, and immediately thanked him with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Joan! But I really think Jing is very courageous. Ming told me that Jing's words counted, what did he say? What are you listening to?"

"Pfft!" Ding Xiao couldn't help laughing, the fruit almost choked him. "Si, I believe Ming said this to express how gentle and considerate you are."

Si immediately blushed. "certainly not!"

Dong Yi laughed loudly: "If you want to say that, Xiaoxiao must be the most powerful. Kun can do whatever he asks." Alas, it's a pity that I'm still alone, and even Du this guy has a place to go.

So the lunch ended in the booing of everyone.The sad thing is that because a group of people are too full to eat, it takes a long time to digest before they can continue to bend down to dig and pick.What a self-inflicted crime! ! !

When Ding Xiao and Papa Joan came home, they saw that Kun was also at Papa's house, moving the tank with Papa.

Yes, everyone read that right.This time the uncle and nephew really moved the tank.And Ding Xiao felt that these big vats were a few circles larger than the big vats used by the aunt next door to store sauerkraut in his memory when he was a child.

"Father, Kun, what do you want to do with so many big vats?" Is it for pickling vegetables?This head of pickled vegetables...is it going to be sold?Otherwise, you will accumulate sauerkraut?Is that too much?Or... as a bathtub?With my own figure... it seems that it can be used in this way!

Kun hurried to Xiaoxiao to take those things, and then replied: "Use it to make wine."

"It's so big, brewing wine? It's too exaggerated!" Ding Xiao really didn't accept this proposal.I don't know how to use grain to make wine, and the little fruit wine is actually naturally fermented.Whether the brewing is good or not, he thinks it's all God... No, it's the beast god who saves face.It doesn't matter if a small jar is a small jar, even if one jar is broken, it will not cause any damage to the others, but if there is such a big jar and a big jar, if it is spoiled, it will be a waste of a lot of fruit!

He Adie explained: "This is not our own, it is used by the village department to make wine. This is ten, and there are still ten to be made the day after tomorrow. The elder brother said that he plans to drink it for everyone in the village during the Chinese New Year this year. Some."

"Uh...but, what if the brewing goes bad? It will waste a lot of fruit." In short, if there is something wrong with one tank, maybe someone will talk about it again.I don't care, and I don't mean I like to listen to it!

Kun took Xiaoxiao's hand: "Last year, none of the cans broke. There will be no problems this year. Tomorrow we will go to the village to dig two large cellars, one to put these wine... tanks, and the other to arrive Storing white beans in autumn. Do you think there is anything else to prepare?"

Ding Xiao raised his forehead: "It's thoughtful enough. Anyway, you males dig the cellar very quickly. How much fruit do you need to use for the twenty tanks of wine? Also, what kind of fruit wine do you want?"

Asked this question, both uncle and nephew were at a loss for words.They glanced at each other, and finally Kun said, "You have the final say."

This pear is big! !A matter related to the whole village actually let himself decide! !Uh...forget it, since the pears are so big, we might as well make pear wine.Anyway, last year everyone liked pear wine the most.Not to mention delicious and refreshing, the amount of pear wine here is more, even greater than that of grape wine. "Then if I make the decision, I will make a pear bar. Anyway, there are so many pears in the safe zone, and some green and red fruits can be mixed in, and the taste will be richer."

Father He nodded quickly: "Yeah. Thinking of it with a smile is thoughtful."

The corner of the mouth twitched with a smile: "Father, I'm very curious what you two are doing with these tanks that the village department uses?"

"This..." Father He was stunned for a moment, so he had to answer truthfully: "Actually, we two want to see how many can be placed in our cellar."

Fu forehead can no longer express Ding Xiao's mood at the moment, he even wants to stretch out his palms to cover his face. "The jars we used last year are enough for our family. This is how much you want to drink!"

But Kun is very persistent: "Be bigger, more."

Joan's father patted his son's shoulder: "Let them do it if they want, and they are idle if they are idle."

"Actually, it's not very busy. I haven't got the iron that Kun brought back yet. Also, it's time to dig lotus roots, so I have to go there in a few days, and I want pickles, and I can't keep up with myself. The key is where are the pots I want, Kun?" Suddenly remembering the earthen pots he needed, he anxiously wanted to know how big Kun made them!

Kun scratched his head: "Uncle Huadi has been rushing to make this big tank these days, and we will have what we want in a few days."

Sure enough... the things of the village department are the most important.But fortunately, Kun didn't want to get himself such a big jar to pickle vegetables, otherwise it would be really scary.I don't own a pickle factory!

The next day, Ding Xiao originally thought that this would be the place to make pickled green vegetables, but the village head's whim made him do it, so he had to go to the village to "visit".

To be precise, Peng Jia didn't think of this suddenly, but he has been thinking about it since he drank Xiaoxiao's fruit wine last year.As the village head, sometimes he has to think of all the villagers.Although the wine was made by Ding Xiao, this thing does have a taste similar to beard fruit, and beard fruit itself is a rare and good thing that orcs, especially males, love very much.So now that there is a more convenient substitute, he will naturally think more about it.

Of course, he will definitely help Xiaoxiao protect the wine-making technology, unless this silly kid wants to share it with someone, otherwise even if the patriarch comes, he will not hand it over.What's more, each village basically has its own unique handicraft technology that is not known to outsiders.So making this fruit wine is indeed a bit more difficult. Of course, Kun and He are the ones handling it, and Ding Xiao is a talking-headed on-site director.

Speaking of which, Peng Jia didn't do this entirely for the sake of letting the villagers taste good wine, but also for the better development of their Tianhe Village in the future.For example, bringing these wines to the wall or selling them in the village market will undoubtedly improve the craftsmanship of their Tianhe Village and Yihu Clan once again.

Therefore, Ding Xiao will never have these ideas when he seeks his own government in his position, and he will not think about those aspects.There is only one thought in his head now, since he has to do it, he should try to do his best.He doesn't have much opinion on the matter of the cellar, but he does have requirements for the fruit used for wine making.The minimum is that there should be no moths, no cracks and scars, and it should not be too raw, but it should not be overcooked.Although overripe fruits will have a smell of wine, but Ding Xiao is not sure that it will be better to use such fruits, so it is better to be safe.

The village department said that they want to pick fruit, so naturally many young people are willing to do it.Just like Joan's father said, in fact, except for all males hunting and hoarding food for the winter from the end of autumn, there are really no important things at other times.Especially in summer, the prey is the best time to hunt, and hunting does not require too much time for males, and the more capable males are, the more time they will have.Naturally, there will be more excess energy.In the second largest village of the tribe like their Tianhe Village, [-] males patrol the upper and lower villages every day, and each of them has at least three days to rest.Isn't this just being idle?

Given how energetic these guys are, Ding Xiao decided not to take advantage of them.Then let Kun take Feng and the others to help him pick a lot of dates back.Some of them are to be dried and eaten as stew, and fried dates can be made during the Chinese New Year.Some of them will be made into jujube paste, and he will try to make desserts with steamed buns.Another part of him just wants to make jujube wine.Anyway, I have to go all out, the fruits that are born and raised by nature only need strength and no money!

After a full five days of tossing, the village wine cellar was finally put into use.

Seeing the twenty cylinders of pear wine being sealed and neatly stacked in the wine cellar, Ding Xiao, a person who only moved his mouth and seldom touched his hands, felt his sense of accomplishment rising.

Of course, at the same time, Kun did not forget to sort out his small wine cellar.In fact, the so-called small wine cellar is that Kun dug a hole in the "wall" of his big vegetable cellar.Then use wood and stone to build it up and support it firmly.It's a little shorter than the vegetable cellar itself, but with Yikun's height, he can still take out the innermost things when he bends down.In order to avoid the smell, he also made a trap door with stone slabs.Of course, he is the only one who can move the door. Ding Xiao couldn't lift the stone slab. At first he didn't believe in this strength, thinking that his strength was much stronger than before, so he finally moved the slate and moved it. Yes, it's just that the heart is so tired that it "thumps".After that, he vowed never to try such a purely competitive thing again.Anyway, with Kun around, it's not his turn to do these things.

The brewing process of fruit wine is obviously not over yet.At least my father and mother, my uncle and aunt's house, and my aunt's house must continue to be busy.As for Feng and Muwa who are about to live alone after getting married, they will definitely not let themselves go.

Ding Xiao panicked when he thought that he would have to deal with Niang for at least half a month. "Kun, take a day off tomorrow. There is no need to worry about making wine."

Smelling the fruity scent on her partner's hands, Kun couldn't help but licked Xiaoxiao's neck. "Listen to you. If you don't want to drink anymore, I can go with my second uncle, and I have learned everything."

Didn't it mean that I learned it, I just wanted to open my mouth and wash my fruit. "It's so itchy, don't lick it. Don't you feel tired these days?"

Kun shook his head: "I'm not tired. But you have to rest."

Stretching his arms around the neck of his big tiger: "Our Jiakun is considerate and considerate. These days are really busy. Hey, I will make sugar bacon for you tomorrow."

Kun nodded: "Yeah!" In fact, he has something more to eat...
