Xu Manman also took a basin and soaked some mung beans. She was preparing to grow bean sprouts. Her diet had been too monotonous recently. The vegetables were either cabbage, radish, potato, and the rest were pickled vegetables.
Grow some bean sprouts to change the taste, and serve them during the Chinese New Year as a fresh dish.
My cousin came back before dark, and the backpack was hanging down and looked heavy.
So much game today? Did you just find a rabbit or pheasant nest?
Only after Chen Ming took out the things one by one did Xu Manman realize that she was wrong.
Chen Ming took out a large piece of mutton, followed by a whole leg of lamb, eggs underneath, and frozen persimmons and pears at the bottom.
Xu Manman was completely shocked. Where did he get all these things?
Thinking of this, I asked.
"I was planning to take them there today to exchange some frozen pears and persimmons with the villagers. On the way, I ran into a few young men from our village. They had found a sheep with a broken leg in the mountains and were thinking about how to take it to the commune to exchange for some money."
If you want to exchange these non-collectively raised animals for money, you can only take them to the black market.
Chen Ming continued, "After a few of us discussed it, we decided that instead of having them bother dealing with it, we could just divide it up among us."
Xu Manman was a little worried, "Is this sheep's origin really okay?"
"Well, when we saw it, it hadn't been slaughtered yet. It was a wild sheep, not domesticated." Chen Ming didn't dare to bring risky things to Xu Manman.
Xu Manman finally felt relieved. "Cousin, you guys are so lucky to have come across this. There's so much meat, we can eat it for a long time and make a lot of delicious food."
Chen Ming was happy, with a smile on his face.
Xu Manman held her face in her hands and continued to praise, "And these persimmons and frozen pears, I've only heard of them before, but they look like this. Fruits are hard to come by in winter, right? You actually got so many, cousin, you're really amazing."
At this time, Chen Ming's cheekbones were raised to the sky due to the praise.
As for pears, Xu Manman had a lot of space, and she tried to freeze some in a space refrigerator, but she couldn't take them out to eat. She had originally thought of freezing some pears before winter, but at that time she was not very familiar with the villagers, and several old educated youth didn't do this. Without the channels, she had to give up.
I didn’t expect that my cousin would bring so many today. He is so thoughtful.
Keep the eggs indoors and freeze the rest outside.
Considering that my cousin has been so active today and has walked so far in the snow, he must be tired, so he must have a good meal.
Xu Manman simply cut a piece of mutton and stewed a pot of radish. The staple food was steamed buns made of black flour.
Xu Manman also taught her cousin to break the steamed bun into pieces and soak it in the soup. It was a simple version of mutton soup with steamed bun. It was a pity that there was no vermicelli, but the fresh mutton tasted really good.
Moreover, this mutton has no smell at all.
Both of them were very satisfied with the meal. Xu Manman was thinking of making a mutton hotpot next time, but that would be perfect with sesame sauce. Although she had some, it was difficult to take it out.
During the meal, Chen Ming said that they planned to go to the commune tomorrow. Considering the snow on the ground, the road would definitely be difficult to walk on, so he asked her to make a list and he would just go and bring it back.
How could Xu Manman agree? She only signed in at the yard gate when they were sweeping the snow in the afternoon, and she didn't even go to the threshing ground to sign in today.
So, tomorrow she has a rare opportunity to go out for a walk and sign in, so she must go with her.
After Chen Ming left, Xu Manman closed the door, lit a candle and started reading. When the time was almost up, she got a basin of water and opened the door to pour it out.
It's cold now and dry in the north, so people don't take a shower every day. Most of the time they just wash themselves up in the house.
So Xu Manman's daily routine of fooling around turned into pouring a basin of water, and occasionally going to the bathroom to fool around a lot.
Today is such a nice day, how can we just let it go so easily?
When the time was almost up, Xu Manman put out the fire and slipped into the space.
She didn't rush to take a shower, but finished her daily tasks first, and in the meantime, let the machine prepare what she wanted.
When she was done, she brought the pot and vegetable bowl to the table.
Today is such a nice day, of course we have to eat hot pot and barbecue!
The thinly sliced beef is served with the system's secret shacha sauce, and the lamb is served with sesame sauce.
Cumin lamb kebabs, garlic roasted eggplant, roasted potatoes, roasted green beans, roasted leeks...
Paired with ice-cold fat house happy water.
This is life, happy New Year!
