Chapter 449 Busy
"Oh, it's a fish! What a big one!"
"Is this fish delicious? It smells fishy!"
"Hey, they are different from us. They are willing to use more oil and seasonings. It should be delicious. I heard that there are fish sellers in the restaurants in the city, and their fish is delicious!"
“.”
Everyone in the big room just laughed. Of course, fish are eaten when taken home, but whether other families eat them or not is none of our business. It's better to say less to avoid another incident like the mushroom incident.
The big fish in the deep pool looked delicious, so I kept two of them to make sauerkraut fish in the evening, and the rest were made into cured fish.
After the big fish are processed, they are pickled like bacon, and after a few days they can be hung in the sun to dry. After drying, they can be stored.
Dafang was particularly interested in making spicy food this year, and has been busy for several days.
Qiao Xuan and her friends went into the mountains again and brought back a lot of chestnuts, winter bamboo shoots, yams, and lilies.
Drying or storing in the cellar, these are delicious dishes in winter.
With Qiao Xuan's wood-related abilities, she could find as many mountain products as she wanted. But Qiao Xuan wasn't very interested.
Just make enough food, don't expect to sell it for money.
She has better and easier ways to make money, so there is no need to earn this little.
It’s both little and tiring.
There are also quite a few persimmons, but they are too soft and the skin will break with the slightest touch. The birds in the mountains are particularly fond of them, as are ants and other insects. The skin of the persimmons will be pecked and broken before they are ripe.
So no one picked them.
There are three persimmon trees in Qiao Xuan's garden. They are lush and leafy, with red fruits hanging on the branches. She can pick one or half a basket of persimmons every day to satisfy her cravings.
Xiaoqi hunted a lot of wild rabbits and pheasants, and made preserved meat out of the remaining meat.
They also went to the river near the village to set up nets and caught a lot of fish and shrimps. They picked out a lot of fish and put them in the pond.
As the twelfth lunar month approached, the weather suddenly turned cold, with biting winds, and people stopped going into the mountains.
Especially Qiao Xuan, she wished she couldn't go out for a whole day.
Fortunately, the house is sturdy, and there are enough clothes, bedding, and charcoal, so this winter will not be difficult.
Xu, Yang Xiaoni, Xiaoqi and others could not sit still. They either visited neighbors or went up the mountain to do odd jobs, such as chopping firewood or something like that.
Xiaoqi would go up the mountain from time to time and almost always return with a harvest.
There were pheasants, hares, grouse, mountain otters, muntjacs, etc. Once, he even brought back two Ganoderma lucidum for Qiao Xuan.
The only regret was that he had never hunted a wild goat. And Xiao Qi didn't know what he was thinking, he just wanted to hunt a wild goat.
Meat is easy to preserve in winter. Winters in ancient times seemed to be particularly cold. The temperature in the countryside was several degrees colder than in the city. These game would not go bad even if stored for three or four days.
What's more, if the food is not finished, Fang will make cured meat.
As for the second and third wives, it’s enough to give them one or two occasionally.
After making the cured meat, Qiao Xuan suddenly craved sour meat, so she made two jars of sour meat, one with pork belly and spare ribs, and the other with pheasant.
This is also easy to do. Wash the meat, add salt and marinate for three or four days. Fry glutinous rice in an iron pan over low heat until it is fragrant and the rice grains turn slightly yellow. Add seasonings after it cools down. Mix the meat and rice, put it into a jar and seal it. After about half a month, it will be ready.
Stir-fry the chili peppers over high heat, it is sour, salty, fresh and spicy, very appetizing. The meat is also extra chewy after doing this.
