Chapter 110: Big Meatballs
After soaking the watermelon in water, it must be eaten on the same day, otherwise it will easily go bad.
If Xu Xinxin didn't eat for a day and only ate watermelon, she could eat a whole watermelon, but there was no need to do so.
She also has field mice and a little orange cat at home. They all eat a little bit, and the watermelon will be finished quickly.
After a while, she was free to eat the watermelons, and she could even share some of the smaller ones with the pigs, ducks, cows and sheep.
Speaking of pigs, I wonder if Sister Liu Wanqing helped her get some ordinary piglets.
Just as Xu Xinxin was thinking this, the 40,000 points that he had exchanged with the defense army in the wilderness arrived in his account.
However, the final amount deposited into her account was only 32,000, which was 8,000 points less, probably due to the money deducted for buying the piglets.
Just then, Liu Wanqing sent her a text message:
[The four piglets you wanted, two males and two females, each worth 2,000 points, a total of 8,000 points, which have already been deducted. I will deliver the four piglets you wanted to you today.]
Her piglets will be delivered today?
When Xu Xinxin saw this message, she seemed to see braised pork, braised pig's trotters, crispy pork belly, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, braised spareribs...
She couldn't help swallowing and began to look forward to Liu Wanqing's arrival.
She has already prepared the feed for the piglets.
Xu Xinxin was taking care of the vegetable garden while waiting for Liu Wanqing to arrive.
Finally, after she had planted all the ordinary qualities and even "quickly ripened" a few corn cobs like a watermelon, someone finally came with her piglets.
The person who came was not Liu Wanqing, but a young man in a defensive military uniform. He seemed to be in a hurry, so he put her piglet down and left.
Xu Xinxin locked the four piglets in a constant temperature room. In order to raise them up and eat them without feeling bad, she decided not to have too much contact with them when she had nothing to do.
Otherwise, when they grow up and need to be killed for meat, you will be too soft-hearted to bear it.
She must eat the meat she raises at home, and she also wants to achieve meat freedom!
Thinking this, Xu Xinxin locked up the four piglets, fed them some feed, turned around to give some feed to the cattle and sheep, and left.
In fact, she was also thinking that in the future she would specifically catch some ordinary quality cattle and sheep to raise for meat.
As for the cattle and sheep she is raising now, some of them are evolved cattle and sheep, their friends and offspring, and she currently does not dare to touch them, nor is she embarrassed to do so.
However, after they have reproduced for a few generations, it should be much easier for her to target ordinary cattle and sheep.
Thinking of this, Xu Xinxin suddenly felt that she was quite scheming.
But she quickly shook the thought off.
She is a human being and she eats meat. It is normal for her to treat intelligent animals differently from ordinary animals.
Xu Xinxin quickly convinced herself, then went to the ice cellar and took out a piece of frozen meat, planning to make a bowl of braised pork today.
The meat she cooked last time wasn’t that much and I didn’t even have enough to eat.
Today, she must have another good meal.
This time, the piece of meat Xu Xinxin cut was quite big, weighing about 5 kilograms.
She planned to cook some big meatballs.
Xu Xinxin soaked the large piece of pork in ginger water, then went to wash the rice and cook it.
Then she went to pick some big red tomatoes and some water spinach...Forget it, let's not eat water spinach today, let's have stir-fried corn kernels instead.
Xu Xinxin peeled two corns by hand and then stir-fried the corn kernels.
The corn kernels are very tender and sweet, and they taste good even when stir-fried.
As for tomatoes, use them to scramble eggs, which is a classic dish.
Halfway through, she suddenly remembered that she had soybeans and could actually grow some bean sprouts. They would be delicious whether stir-fried or served cold with vinegar.
Forget it, it’s too late today, let’s do it another day.
Xu Xinxin picked up three more eggs and planned to fry them with two tomatoes.
She thought about it, and went to get five eggs, planning to fry them into poached eggs and stew them with the meatballs.
Oops, almost forgot the chili.
Xu Xinxin went to pick a basket of green peppers, washed a few, and planned to stew them with the meatballs.
As for the leftovers, they can be kept for a few days and she can cut them into shreds next time she cooks and use them as a side dish.
After the pork was soaked in water to remove the blood, Xu Xinxin washed it, removed the pig skin, and then chopped the fat and lean meat into small pieces.
Finally, she mixed the minced meat in a ratio of 30% fat and 70% lean, and added some salt, MSG, pepper, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce...
Then she used chopsticks to stir slowly in one direction until the meat was cooked. Only then did she stop.
She hated the action of blending the meat the most; it was too tiring and made her arms sore and painful.
But today, in order to have a bite of delicious food, she didn't care about that.
After the meat was mixed, Xu Xinxin divided it into six portions, rolled it into 8 big meatballs, fried them in oil to set them in shape, and then simmered them.
When the eight big meatballs were almost cooked, she put the green peppers and fried eggs in and continued to simmer.
This was made by Xu Xinxin according to the recipe of lion head. Since she didn't have water chestnuts or lotus roots, she just rolled a pure meatball with her hands.
This smells good too.
After the big meatballs were stewed, Xu Xinxin started to stir-fry corn kernels and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
These are two quick dishes that can be cooked very quickly.
Xu Xinxin then put the previously cooked rice into a bowl and shouted to the outside, "It's time to eat."
As soon as she finished speaking, two field mice and a little orange cat ran over from somewhere and sat down obediently beside the table.
Xu Xinxin also served them a bowl of rice, and used chopsticks to crush a large meatball and gave some to them.
"Try it. If it doesn't taste good, I'll give you some corn kernels or scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
As Xu Xinxin spoke, she picked up a big meatball with chopsticks.
This meatball is particularly big. It is very meaty when you take a bite. Xu Xinxin feels like she is healed instantly.
After eating two big meatballs in a row, Xu Xinxin stretched out her chopsticks to taste the stir-fried corn kernels and scrambled eggs with tomatoes in satisfaction.
The scrambled eggs with tomatoes are as delicious as ever, and the stir-fried corn kernels are also tender, sweet and especially delicious.
Xu Xinxin, the two field mice and the little orange cat all enjoyed this meal very much.
The only drawback was that she didn’t have side dishes like mushrooms and water chestnuts, otherwise she would have chopped them up and kneaded them with the meatballs, which would have tasted better.
Today Xu Xinxin didn’t want to wash the dishes, so she went to ask the bees for help.
Water bees wash dishes slowly, but they still wash them fairly cleanly.
Xu Xinxin said, "I planted a lot of vegetables today. Most of them are going to bloom. Then you will have nectar of different flavors to eat... So, can you all help me wash the dishes later?"
The big bees were simple-minded and when they heard Xu Xinxin say that, they thought it was true and immediately ran over to help her wash the dishes.
