Chapter 42: Stocking up for the winter (Part 1)
Xu Wanning rolled her eyes when she heard this. This guy really treated her like a child. She grumbled in dissatisfaction:
"I'm not a two or three-year-old kid anymore."
"Don't worry, I'm an adult now and I can take care of myself."
Xu Wanning thought about it and said worriedly:
"Han Jinghuai, the mountain is so dangerous, you have to be careful!"
"Don't get yourself into trouble just for a few wild boars."
Han Jinghuai smiled and nodded, walked forward and gently held her in his arms, pressed a kiss on her forehead, turned around and left in a hurry.
At noon, Xu Wanning cooked a pot of pheasant soup, added some corn cakes, and had a delicious meal with Lin Qiqi.
After dinner, Xu Wanning and Lin Qiqi cleaned up the wild rabbits they brought back in the morning.
The wild rabbits and pheasants that Han Jinghuai sent over were also cleaned, spread with some seasoning and marinated for a while, ready to be made into dried rabbit meat and dried chicken.
Lin Qiqi looked at her busy appearance and felt reluctant to criticize her. Is it really delicious to cook pheasant and rabbit like this?
After a moment of silence, Lin Qiqi couldn't help but ask:
"Ningning, can pheasants and rabbits cooked this way really be delicious?"
"How come I've never seen it eaten this way!"
Xu Wanning knew that she was worried that she would make a mistake. After all, people in the north rarely ate dried meat in those days.
At most, they would make some bacon to eat. Moreover, meat was in limited supply in that era, and few people were willing to make it into air-dried meat.
“Of course it’s delicious!”
"Qiqi, don't worry, I guarantee you'll be addicted after trying it once!"
"This method is absolutely unstoppable. If you use chicken raised at home to make dried chicken, the flavor will be even better!"
"The steamed dried chicken with rice is enough for me to eat two extra bowls of rice!"
Xu Wanning planned to wait until the brigade had enough wild boar meat and then make some smoked bacon to eat in the winter. She had eaten it a few times in the modern era, and the taste was absolutely amazing!
The more you chew smoked bacon, the more fragrant it becomes. It tastes even better than fresh pork, and has a hint of smoky aroma.
When I have time, I can also make some smoked bacon in the space. There are still many wild boars in the space that have not been killed.
When the time comes, you can make smoked bacon and bring it back for Xu's parents to try. After all, bacon is easier to preserve than fresh pork.
After the pheasants and rabbits were pickled, they were placed in the backyard to dry. Xu Wanning then took Lin Qiqi to turn over a piece of land in the yard, sprinkled some cabbage seeds on it, covered it with a layer of soil, and poured a bucket of water on it.
Lin Qiqi sat down in the yard exhausted, raised her hand and wiped her face with her sleeve. Her cheeks and clothes were covered in mud, and she looked like a big tabby cat.
"Ningning, I'm so tired."
“This is my first time growing my own vegetables!”
"I didn't expect to be so tired!"
When Xu Wanning saw her dusty appearance, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. If someone didn't know better, they would have thought that Lin Qiqi had fallen into a pit.
"You, if you slack off any more, you'll be burned."
"Didn't you see that several aunties in the village started drying vegetables in the yard early in the morning?"
