Chapter 275 Pig Grass
I saw a few dogs sitting nearby waiting for food, with their eyes wide open, tongues sticking out, and drooling all over the floor.
The lamb skewers were sprinkled with cumin and chili powder and could not be eaten by them. In addition to the lamb skewers, there was also a large piece of lamb chop on the wire mesh, which was specially grilled by Mu Xi for the dogs.
This was definitely not enough for the four dogs, and they could not eat too much, so they only had two pieces of grilled lamb chops to satisfy their cravings. There was also some lamb boiled in water for them in the house.
Zhao Yeqing waited until Mu Xi said the three words she had been waiting for for a long time.
“It’s ready.”
He immediately reached out and took the lamb skewers from Mu Xi's hand.
The fat on the mutton skewers was still sizzling. Zhao Yeqing blew on them twice, then opened his mouth and took a bite, not caring about the heat.
The mutton is very soft, and the lean parts are not tough at all, they fall apart when chewed lightly. Most of the oil in the fatty parts has been roasted out, leaving only a small part, like the lard residue after refining.
It also has a rich milky flavor.
Zhao Yeqing's taste buds were instantly satisfied, just like suddenly drinking cool spring water in a dry desert.
Nothing could be happier than this moment.
Mu Xi smiled and said, "You said the same thing last time when you ate beef."
Zhao Yeqing was about to refute.
Mu Xi: "And last time when we were eating roast chicken."
“While eating pizza.”
"eat......"
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Zhao Yeqing raised his hand and covered Mu Xi's mouth, "I don't want to save face."
After saying that, he took his hand away and poked another skewer of mutton into his mouth. Mu Xi quickly opened his mouth and bit the skewer.
Zhao Yeqing said viciously, "Eat yours."
He took the unroasted mutton skewers from Mu Xi's hand and continued to roast them, sprinkling plenty of chili powder and cumin on them, and finally adding a handful of sesame seeds at the end.
delicious!
The dogs' lamb chops were finally cooked. If they weren't cooked well, the floor would be flooded.
After giving the lamb chops to the dogs, I drove them in to eat the mutton and rice soup.
Mu Xi looked at the watch, took out the baked naan from the oven, and made a few soft dough sheets with the remaining dough.
After frying the dough in a small pan, Zhao Yeqing took it out and put the lamb skewers on the soft pancake, wrapped the lamb with the pancake skin, and then pulled the skewers off.
Add a clove of garlic and put it in your mouth.
The bread absorbed the fat from the lamb skewers, mixed with the slight spiciness of the garlic that had been roasted for a while.
Mu Xi handed over a bowl of refreshing pumpkin flower soup at the right time.
Zhao Yeqing's eyes were wide open as he ate so much that he didn't recover for a long time after finishing the meal.
Mu Xi roasted the green peppers and eggplants and placed them in front of her.
In front of Zhao Yeqing was a tree stump that had not been chopped into firewood, which could be used as a small table.
I wanted to say I didn’t want to eat it, but the green peppers were roasted with sauce. Mu Xi used honey to make a slightly sweet sauce, which covered the bitterness that easily appeared in the green peppers after roasting.
The eggplant was also cut and roasted, and then drizzled with garlic sauce. To make it look better, Mu Xi also sprinkled some chopped green onions on it to garnish it.
"There's also Houttuynia cordata on the side, you can add it if you want."
This sentence successfully became the last straw that destroyed the sanity of the Zhe Er Gen alien. Zhao Yeqing ate everything in front of him with tears in his eyes.
After the meal, Mu Xi learned from Zhao Yeqing's experience of having stomach bloating and pain after eating too much last time, and made a large pot of tea to help digestion.
-
It was not until the second half of the night that the rich aroma of roasted lamb in the yard gradually dissipated.
If it were winter, Zhao Yeqing would definitely not dare to eat like this. Eating too much greasy meat would easily cause fatigue and exhaustion in the body.
But now I have to go out to work every day, and this little bit of calories will be almost consumed in two days.
Zhao Yeqing got up very early. Perhaps because he had a very satisfying meal last night, he was in particularly good spirits today.
I plan to cut the pig grass early in the morning.
She remembered that when she was a child, people from the village at the foot of the mountain would go into the mountains early in the morning to cut grass for pigs, and the grass would go into the pigs' mouths when it was still covered with crystal dew.
The weather has become milder recently and the weeds are growing vigorously.
In places with abundant water sources in the fields, especially beside fish ponds, Zhao Yeqing saw some goose intestines growing there.
There are relatively few of them near my home, and I guess there are more growing by the water in the woods.
Goose intestines are a wild vegetable, and it is a rare wild vegetable that clears away heat without being bitter.
It can be seen near water sources below 2,700 meters above sea level. Once it grows, it grows in large patches. It is very suitable to be cut and fed to pigs, and the nutritional value is also quite high.
Mu Xi made two mutton pies, and each of them grabbed one and went into the mountains.
Walking along the water source that drains to the fish pond, Mu Xi adjusted and reinforced the angle and support of the bamboo waterway along the way.
Walk to the diversion outlet at the water source and continue walking into the mountain.
In addition to goose intestines, there are also purslane, dandelion and gray grass. These wild vegetables that were picked and eaten in previous years can be fed to pigs.
Basically, pigs can eat anything that humans can eat.
Walk along the water source and cut whatever you come across along the way.
As they walked, they arrived at the place where they dug kudzu roots last year. The two of them had left some of them undigged. Now it has been almost a year, and it must have grown a lot bigger.
Without even looking closely, Zhao Yeqing discovered a number of kudzu vines winding their way through the weeds.
Making kudzu powder is very tiring. Last time I made it, I still had more than half a can left. But it is still suitable for making soup.
Zhao Yeqing found a place where he thought he would have a good harvest and started digging. After Mu Xi checked that there were no snakes nearby, he continued to cut grass for the pigs not far from Zhao Yeqing.
Sure enough, after digging less than half a meter, two huge clumps of kudzu roots appeared in front of us.
Zhao Yeqing put all the vegetables into the basket without any hesitation, and put all the wild vegetables in the basket into Mu Xi's backpack.
Mu Xi said that he wanted to take turns carrying the two huge pieces of Pueraria root, as they weighed several dozen kilograms in total.
But the purpose of coming out was to burn off the excess calories in the body. Zhao Yeqing shook his head and refused, "No, just treat it as exercise."
Walk to the stream and wash the dirt on your hands from digging kudzu roots.
The clear stream was about one meter wide and the water flowed very slowly. The sunlight filtered through the leaves overhead, making the entire surface of the water glow.
Zhao Yeqing spotted the small shrimps in the stream with her sharp eyes, and her eyes lit up, "Yes, now we can go to the lake to catch some shrimps."
Earlier in the spring, the two had put out several cages and only kept a small portion of the lake shrimps they caught, releasing the rest. They thought that spring and summer were the time when they would lay eggs, so it would be better not to catch them yet.
Now that autumn has arrived, it is the time when shrimps are fat and crabs are delicious.
Zhao Yeqing had a goal again, and his hands moved faster. In a few seconds, he filled the space in the two backpacks, and it was just noon when he got home.
