Over the years, she had eaten a lot of rabbits and saved a lot of rabbit skins. Xu Manman had already fulfilled her original ambition, which was not only to make a pure white rabbit fur blanket without mixed hairs,
She also made a rabbit fur coat, but the furry side was hidden inside, making it low-key and warm to wear. Moreover, the outer layer can be removed and replaced at any time if you don't like the style.
Needless to say, she has accumulated countless rabbit furs in her space, and now all her bedrooms are covered with rabbit fur carpets.
The rabbits on the farm reproduce very quickly. Every day, the system mall puts ready-made food on the shelves. Many of them are slaughtered. Except for those kept to make carpets and clothes, Xu Manman asks Xiao Jin to put the rest on the shelves of the system and sell them.
This stuff is more valuable than cooked food. It contains not only rabbit skin, but also pig hair, cowhide, cow horns, milk, wool, sheep horns, goat milk, etc. Xu Manman’s space cannot accommodate so much, but it seems to be quite popular in the system mall.
She just sold them to make the most of them and cleared out her inventory at the same time.
So she would have a large sum of money coming in every once in a while. It is no exaggeration to say that money is now just a number in her eyes.
The one in my hand was made for my eldest cousin. It also has the wool side facing inwards and is made of homespun cloth on the outside. Unlike the straight and wide woolen coat, the slightly harder texture of the homespun cloth makes it more simple while retaining its shape.
Chen Ming is tall, and this coat requires a lot of leather. She will still need some more leather after using up all the leather she has on hand.
This winter's harvest should be enough, maybe even enough to make knee pads and cotton shoe linings.
If there is no result, I can ask Liu Jinfeng or go to the market to see if I can wake up.
Anyway, it has to be finished before going to Beijing. Heating is not common now, and the winter in the north is really freezing.
Moreover, this coat can not only be worn as outerwear, but when taken off it becomes a thick small quilt, which is only slightly smaller than her previous blanket.
Before noon, Chen Ming came back with the processed prey. This time, it took a long time and there were quite a lot of prey. There were three rabbits alone, and there was even one more!
"This... roe deer?" It is also a protected animal in later generations.
She didn't dare eat the two in Xu Manman's space. Now they are staying in the space to age. They will probably die of natural causes soon.
Her spatial flow rate was fast, but it only had no effect on her. Animals grew according to the spatial flow rate. The two animals were male at the beginning and had no possibility of reproduction. After those two were gone, the spatial life became extinct.
"Well, it fell into the pit by itself. It woke up from the cold when I went there." At that time, no one had the concept of protecting animals, but Chen Ming didn't mean to mess with it.
"...Okay, I haven't cooked this roe deer meat yet, but I guess you didn't throw away the skin, did you?" Xu Manman didn't intend to refuse the meat that was offered to her.
"No, these are all gray rabbits today, perfect for making clothes. I'll take them back after I'm done processing them outside."
Xu Manman spread out her half-finished product. "With these three, two more should be enough. Maybe you can wear new clothes on New Year's Eve."
Chen Ming is also looking forward to new clothes. His cousin's craftsmanship is getting better and better. Every year, his new clothes are made by his cousin herself.
Let’s eat roe deer meat for lunch. Roe deer is a member of the deer family, and the meat is tender and chewy, but it has a fishy smell. After all, it is wild.
Xu Manman first blanched the scallions, ginger and white wine, then washed off the blood and foam, drained the water, heated the pan with oil, added star anise and scallions and ginger and stir-fried until fragrant, then added the meat and stir-fried, and finally added the peeled frozen tomatoes and simmered over low heat.
The rice for today's meal was simmering on another stove. Xu Manman also cut two sausages and steamed them on top of the rice.
The frozen tomatoes were saved by Xu Manman in the autumn. Usually people like to mix them with sugar and eat them raw. Xu Manman also made a lot of canned tomato sauce before, but she herself doesn’t like it. She won’t even dip French fries in ketchup.
But Chen Ming likes it and often spreads it on steamed buns and steamed bread.
In addition to tomato sauce, Xu Manman also froze a lot of them whole. They cannot be eaten directly, but they are more likely to become sandy when used in stews and stir-fries.
After blanching the roe deer meat, the odor disappears and it becomes soft and tasty. The soup made from the tomato stew is also a great dish to mix with rice. The sausage she made is also spicy and goes really well with rice.
Xu Manman drank two bowls of rice by herself. Chen Ming was still not satisfied at the end and even baked two steamed buns to dip in the sauce.
In the afternoon, the two siblings processed the remaining meat. This year they had to wait for the notice and could not go back, so in addition to keeping the meat for themselves, they had to send some back home.
Although both of them have this in mind, it is the gift of the two children after all.
