Searching for food through the beast world

I am literate

Early the next morning, Kun rushed to Shizipo with four jars of barbecue sauce and five pancakes prepared by Dianlangpi and Xiaoxiao.Ding Xiao had no chance to participate in this trading trip, but he is also very busy in the village now.

After Kun left, Peng Jia didn't have the heart to keep Xiaoxiao busy, so he set the tasting to three days later.So what Ding Xiao has to do today is to sort out what he got back from the winter market with his father and father.The linen is not in a hurry for the time being, so it is put away.There is no need to worry about getting wet this season.As for the yams, although most of them are still in good condition, a few have begun to turn black.Ding Xiao cut a part of the yam into slices, and then exposed them to the sun.The biggest advantage of the current season is that although it is colder in the morning and evening, the sun is still strong at noon. The key is that the air is dry and there is a breeze, which is a good season for drying food.

The remaining part has a very good skin and appearance. There is no problem now, but he doesn’t know if it’s okay to keep it like this. After all, no one would put so many fruits and vegetables in the previous life.After much deliberation, he finally decided to explain the basic purpose and simple structure of the vegetable cellar to Qiong and He.In fact, he didn't really understand.In his previous life, he only knew about those relatives after his father died, and his father had no friends who lived in the village. His little knowledge about the vegetable cellar still came from the Internet and TV.

After hearing Xiaoxiao talk about the idea of ​​"vegetable cellar", He immediately understood. "It's similar to the icehouse in our village, right? But if we dig in our yard, there can't be ice underneath." Without ice, how can we keep fresh food from rotting?

It is easy to understand the concept of "cellar" storage. Ding Xiao explained: "These vegetables are what we want to store at home. It seems that it is too cold. I actually saw others make it, and I don't know how to do it. Make it. Why don't we dig out the smaller ones first and try to put a part underneath?"

For her son's proposal, Joan absolutely agreed unconditionally.You must know that Xiaoxiao's agency has brought more jelly food to each of their families that was stored last year.Even if it is really not stored well and wasted, as long as they find it in time, there will be no big loss. "Okay, that's the deal!"

Ding Xiao originally thought that digging a vegetable cellar would be a big project.As a result, from digging pits to getting wooden boards to building, it was completed in the evening.Also, since the yards of the houses here are huge, Ding Xiao thinks that this large vegetable cellar should be called the basement.In addition to the fairly strong wooden planks on the top and a layer of soil to make it firmer, the vegetable cellar was also supported by a few hardwood stakes, and Joan even asked He to make a ladder.It is thoughtful and complete.Ding Xiao just said the beginning, and the rest was just watching the whole process.

After the vegetable cellar was completed and a wooden "cover" was added, Ding Xiao had to sigh, this speed is simply amazing!

Joan didn't think about experimenting or not experimenting.White beans, yams, sweet potatoes, green vegetables, red lettuce, purple melon and other root vegetables and broad-leaf vegetables that are often eaten and stored in autumn are all stuffed in.The cellar is more than 60.00% filled, but the things in the few warehouses in my house are basically empty.If Ding Xiao didn't think that corn and pearl fruit should be stored in a ventilated place on the ground, Joan would definitely stuff them all in.It seems that he feels that it is very cost-effective to expand these underground spaces. (sweat)

In order to reward his father and father for working hard all day, Ding Xiao decided to make some nutritious and quite new to the people here... Zhajiang noodles at night.

Joan has basically learned the skills of kneading dough.So the most important thing for Ding Xiao is to cut noodles and make fried sauce.

Soak the dried shiitake mushrooms and black fungus, and Ding Xiao soaked two more scallops.Dice the beef, then dice a white bean and onion.There is no yellow sauce. Fortunately, there is a lot of soy sauce at home.However, in order to increase the consistency, Ding Xiao still ground a little yam paste.

Stir-fry sauce is still very easy.Put oil, add five-spice powder and chopped green onion to sauté until fragrant, then add diced onion and fry until soft and rotten, then put in other ingredients.Put in the beef bone broth and cook for a while. After the white beans are soft, put in the soy sauce, add a little spicy bean paste, and finally add the yam puree and bring to a boil.This thick and rich fried sauce is ready.

As for the dish size, there are not many in this season.Purple melon is a rimmed melon that tastes like a cucumber.The growth of cucumbers here is almost the same as that in my hometown. They are all vines that bloom in spring and bear fruit in summer, and will all wither before autumn.So you can't eat cucumbers at all in winter.And this kind of purple melon is a food from another world that blooms in summer and grows in autumn.Zigua is not very big, only the size of Ding Xiao's fist, and looks round like a ball.Not only does he have a purple skin, but even the melon flesh is purple.Smile and guess whether it is full of anthocyanins!

In fact, the most peculiar thing about this kind of purple melon is that there is no seed in its core, but a cavity the size of a broad bean.The seeds of this plant grow in the very center of the flower, and when the fruit is ripe, the seeds and flowers drop together.When Ding Xiao saw it for the first time, he was quite curious and studied it for a long time.

In addition to shredded purple melon, he also shredded marinated and dried beef.Cut the red lettuce into shreds and blanch them in water.With the things at hand, that's all.

One finger wide noodles boiled two full pots.This was definitely the meal that He Ping ate the least amount of meat in his life.

The smooth and firm noodles are mixed with fragrant and slightly sweet purple melon, the shredded beef is full of pickled umami, and the shredded red lettuce is crispy and tender, paired with a rich and thick fried sauce.One bite at a time, the aroma of the meat, the aroma of the vegetables, the aroma of noodles, and various seasonings are integrated into one. Although the smell is not so mouth-watering, it is very good to eat.

The two large jars of noodles were completely wiped out, and the family of three had a very satisfying meal.After He drank the last bowl of seaweed and scallop noodle soup, he burped. "It's the first time I didn't eat a lot of meat and I was so full. Our family is very good at smiling. Putting so many things together, the taste is so good." The key is that the quantity of each item is not too much, but the pearl flour costs a little.

Ding Xiao rubbed his stomach. "It's better to eat this summer. Put the noodles in cold well water for a while to relieve the heat."

Joan smiled and said: "Xiaoxiao, you will learn to hunt after the spring of next year. Although you are in good health, you are still too thin. This winter, eat as much as you can. Only when you have meat You have strength. You are called noodles, although they are delicious, but there is too little meat, you have to eat more meat every day in the future."

Ding Xiao wondered whether he should explain to his father that eating meat is not the only thing that is good, but with his little eloquence, he should avoid it.Sighing secretly, he patted his flat stomach: "I have gained a lot of weight since I came to our house. But I still like meat very much. Don't I eat meat every meal!"

He couldn't help scooping up another half spoonful of fried sauce and put it in his mouth.Although it was a bit dry to eat, he still liked it very much. "Smile, do you think this sauce roll will be delicious when eaten in pancakes?"

Ding Xiao nodded: "Of course you can. This sauce can be served not only with noodles, but also with white bean paste, corn rice, flatbread and everything else."

He smiled and looked at Joan, "I'm going out hunting tomorrow, so you can make me a jar of this sauce and take it with you. Then bake a few more cakes." Other people's pearl fruit flour should be eaten according to plan, but their family can eat a lot more Second-rate.After all, one step ahead.

Joan knew that her partner would always want to eat delicious food again and again. Anyway, she saw the steps clearly, and even participated in the process of making the sauce with her own hands.So I nodded: "Success. I'll get it for you in a while. By the way, smile, you mean how many long wooden basins do you want?"

Ding Xiao wanted two longer wooden flower pots, and he wanted to try planting the collected leek seeds and garlic in the house.In fact, in this stone and mud house, except that there are no windows to see the sunlight, the thermal insulation and wind resistance seem to be quite good now.The temperature is not a big problem, but he doesn't have much confidence.In fact, he also wants to try soy sauce fruit. I don't know if it can be grown in winter. "Yes. Two is enough."

He nodded: "Success. Dad will make it for you tomorrow."

The next morning, Ding Xiao made a meal of sauerkraut and beef noodles.The reason why he didn't make noodles was because he was too lazy to cut them. Anyway, they would go into his stomach, even if they were pulled into slices.

After sending away Father He who made a big jar of breakfast by himself, Ding Xiao, accompanied by Father, sent over the sauerkraut and beef noodles specially reserved for the priest.

When Ding Xiao and his son arrived, Teng had just finished breakfast.As a result, smelling the aroma of sauerkraut, and looking at this uneaten food, he immediately wiped out another big bowl. "Smile, you child is so sweet! That kid Kun is really lucky, and the good fortune in this life is unmatched by others!"

Sure enough, everyone knew about it... Ding Xiao blushed and coughed dryly in embarrassment. "That... There's still a bowl, I'll cover it for you, save it for lunch." After speaking, he went into the kitchen of the Fuji family.

Looking at her son's shy face, Joan comforted Yu Xiaoxiao in having a good partner, but she was also unwilling to be snatched away by Kun so soon. "Are you joking and laughing that the two of them will be happy?"

Teng smiled and nodded: "Don't worry. Xiaoxiao is from Fuda. He and Kun are both children guarded by the beast god. They will definitely be happy. I remembered, Xiaoxiao said two days ago that he wanted to see God. The roll is here. I'll get it for him, and you sit for a while. This is water soaked in the spirit grass. It's good for you to drink more. Seeing that your eye circles are a bit dark, I guess that guy He must have been in the past two days. Don't let it stop!"

Seeing Teng leave the room with a smile on his face, Joan only felt his face burn.This... can you see this?Hey bastard!What did you say that you have been holding back for almost a month on the way to the market, and there is no reason not to make up for it when you finally get home.The result is tossing every night.I didn't think there was anything at first, even if I yawned during the day, it turned out... Was it because there were too many?snort!Tonight, nothing can make him wish again!No, I have to ask Teng to get some medicine for myself later, otherwise there is no reason why that guy is difficult to pester!

In Ding Xiao's view, the magic scroll that Teng brought was actually a booklet that looked like the exam papers when he was a child.

There are ten scrolls in total, but none of them seem too thick.It is estimated that the content is not very much. "This is the divine scroll? It seems very ancient."

Teng replied: "It's relatively old. But the real scroll was sacrificed in Tiger God City. We all transcribed it according to that." After she finished speaking, she opened one of them. "This is the first volume, and it's about the beginning of the world."

The world was first opened... These four words reminded Ding Xiao instantly of Pan Gu opening up the world.His eyes immediately looked like the first page of the divine scroll, and he was immediately stunned after just one glance.

These are not neat Chinese characters!The text here is actually traditional Chinese, which makes Ding Xiao not surprised. "This... this is the language of the Yihu clan..." It seems that there is really any close relationship between my homeland and this place?

Teng thought that Ding Xiao was yearning for words, so he didn't notice anything at all. "Well. Every tribe has its own unique characters, but in fact, there are not too many differences, except that there are occasional deviations in the writing of some characters. If you want to learn these characters, I can teach you for an hour every day." Recording the prescription What can not write is very troublesome.

Of course Joan would like her cubs to be able to learn words.This is a rare opportunity.You must know that apart from the people selected by Tiger God City and the successors of the sacrificial priests, there are not many opportunities for ordinary people to learn characters.Could it be that Teng wants Xiaoxiao to be the next sacrificial priest?Seeing that she has always liked to smile and take care of her cubs, it seems to be very interesting in this regard! "Xiaoxiao is very good at drawing and drawing, and he can definitely learn to write very quickly!"

Rattan looked up: "Huahua? What is that?"

Ding Xiao never expected that his father would suddenly be tempted to paint by himself.Originally, he had told Jing and Luxi not to tell others how he was painting, but it turned out that Abba leaked it. "It is to use charcoal sticks to trace their appearance on the leaf paper."

Fuji's eyes brightened immediately: "Xiaoxiao, can you draw a picture for me now?"

Ding Xiao could only nod his head: "Then I'll just draw something casually."

From a bamboo cup to a table, from a bucket in the yard to a medicine basket in the house.I agreed to draw one, but in the end Ding Xiao even drew mushrooms that had no reference at all.After touching the dozen or so sheets of leaf paper, I haven't drawn for a long time, and my hands are about to twitch.If Dad hadn't seen his own sketches, he really wanted to draw stick figures!

Teng was completely fascinated by Ding Xiao's paintings.After Ding Xiao stopped writing to signal that her hands were sore, she exclaimed loudly: "This is a miracle! Xiaoxiao, you must be the messenger given to us by the beast god!"

Ding smiled with black lines all over his head.If you draw a sketch and you are the messenger of the Beast God, then the Academy of Fine Arts is probably the God Realm.It's so embarrassing. "I just draw and play when I have nothing to do. In fact... as long as the hands are steady, many people can learn it."

After hearing this, Teng immediately said: "Can I learn too? Do you think I can do it?"

Although he didn't want to complain, Xiaoxiao still sighed in his heart.Master Priest's thirst for knowledge is too strong. "Okay. As long as you keep practicing every day, you will be able to draw well when you get the kung fu."

The two adults on the side asked together: "Kung fu? What is that?"

Ding Xiao specially did a classic Bruce Lee pose and then did a Tai Chi or something, but he couldn't learn any of them.So I had no choice but to answer seriously: "It means very hard work."

Teng nodded immediately: "Don't worry, I will definitely work hard! Then from tomorrow, you teach me how to draw, and I teach you how to read?"

Ding Xiao took a look at the magic scroll that seemed to be unobstructed.After thinking about it, I still think it's better not to pretend.If he learns too quickly, I'm afraid Teng will shout out such unscientific remarks about what magical powers and emissaries again.Instead, it would be better to use the excuse that I knew these characters when I was in the previous tribe.So he finally said sincerely: "Uh...Actually, I know the words on the divine scroll."
