To be honest, Xiaoyun and the others weren't tired of it, but Chen Hong was getting a little tired of it. No matter how delicious wild vegetables are, you can't eat them every day!
She felt that if they continued eating like this, their faces would all turn green.
The guests from Beijing were very satisfied with the wild vegetable meals they had eaten over the past few days. They were able to eat their fill without worrying about gaining weight, which was wonderful and carefree.
They have to control their food intake when eating in Beijing, but coming to Yujia Village is like letting loose.
Eating well and satisfying your appetite every day, without gaining weight, is such a healthy way to lose weight.
In order to be able to eat wild vegetables every day when they return to Beijing, Director Jin and her colleagues carried basket after basket of wild vegetables home.
It seems they intend to dig up all the wild vegetables in Chen Hong's orchard, hoping to dry enough for a year's use.
Chen Hong thought to herself: These people aren't stupid. The wild vegetables in their orchard were grown with half of the space water, so they're not ordinary wild vegetables!
How could it not taste good? Now, these wild vegetables have captured their hearts, and they eat them every day; she's almost sick of them.
The space was filled with ripe fruit, including local common fruits such as grapes, dates, watermelons, peaches, and plums. Chen Hong could go out every now and then to "buy" some to take home.
She doesn't dare to "buy" other tropical fruits she loves, such as star fruit, lychee, waxberry, longan, mangosteen, wax apple, mango, dragon fruit, and rambutan!
Durian has a strong smell, so she didn't even dare to touch the edge of it, for fear that Fang Xiaoying's dog-like nose would smell it.
This little girl has an incredibly sensitive sense of smell, comparable to her dog Black Tiger and Glasses' noses. They always say she smells like a variety of fruits.
This has made her afraid to sneak fruit into her spatial dimension for a while now. She even took a shower and slept soundly after slaughtering the sheep in her spatial dimension.
The next day, she could still smell the mutton on her, so Chen Hong could only change the subject and say that she was hallucinating because she wanted to eat mutton.
To cover up the lie, Chen Hong drove around and brought back a slaughtered goat.
Go home, chop it open, and remove all the meat. Freeze half of it in the freezer, wash and chop the other half, and boil all the bones with meat on them.
She rolled up the cut mutton, wrapped it in plastic wrap, and froze it. She planned to slice the mutton after it was frozen.
I also set aside a large piece of lamb leg meat, intending to chop it into minced meat and make lamb meatballs.
Autumn is almost here, the time to "stick to autumn fat" (eat more fat for winter), and lamb is the most delicious food in autumn.
Lamb is the easiest to cook. First, boil half a pot of water and blanch it. Skim off the foam after the water boils, then take it out and wash it clean.
Clean the large pot again, add cold water, and put in the blanched and cleaned lamb bones, ribs, and offal.
No other seasonings are needed; just add a handful of Sichuan peppercorns and chopped scallions and ginger.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for two hours. The mutton will be cooked. The broth will be milky white, and the mutton will be tender.
The aroma of mutton wafted through the air, enveloping the entire western part of the village in a rich fragrance.
Guan Tao: "I can't take it anymore, this smells too good! Sister Xiaoyun, Mom, let's go home!"
I'm too tired to work, and I'm starving! Sister Chen Hong must have cooked the mutton!
Fang Xiaoying laughed heartily, "Sister Chen Hong is so kind. As soon as I said I smelled mutton, she knew I wanted to eat mutton."
I just mentioned it yesterday, and today I actually bought some mutton and started stewing it. Mom, smell this; mutton raised in the countryside is definitely the best.
This flavor is absolutely amazing! If you dip it in some minced garlic and chive blossom sauce, it would be incredibly delicious!
"I'm quitting! Let's pack up and go home! I'm hungry too, let's go home and eat mutton!"
Xiaoyun also quickly began packing up Nini's sleeping mat, water bottle, fruit, cookies and snacks, putting them back into the plastic bag.
"Let's go, Nini, let's go home and have some mutton! Your auntie stewed some mutton for you!"
"Time to eat mutton! Time to eat mutton! I'm Little Grey, and I love eating mutton!"
"Hahaha! We're all big bad wolves, and we all love to eat mutton!"
When the rest of the group arrived home, Chen Hong was rolling out noodles; this time, she was making "comfort noodles."
Long, wide, and chewy, topped with mutton soup, sprinkled with scallions and cilantro, and drizzled with chili oil, the taste is simply irresistible!
Dipping sauces such as minced garlic, chive blossom sauce, chili oil, cilantro, and chopped green onions have been prepared on the table.
At noon today, Chen Hong placed two large porcelain basins on the dining table, filled to the brim with mutton, piled up like mountains of meat.
A large group of people sat together, first gnawing on bones and eating meat, and finally eating noodles and drinking mutton soup.
Seven or eight arms were constantly busy at the dining table, each searching for their favorite dipping sauce to season the food.
Guan Tao had a pile of cleaned lamb bones in front of him and was happily slurping wide noodles into his mouth.
"Eating mutton this way is still the most enjoyable! I used to see videos of the lives of herders on the Inner Mongolian grasslands on TV, and I always thought that I would like to have the chance to eat hand-pulled mutton sometime."
Eating hot pot in Beijing is nowhere as satisfying as eating pure mutton like this!
Tonight, I ate at least two or three pounds of mutton, the most I've ever eaten in a single night.
Xiaoyun, enjoying the mutton soup, said, "I feel like this scene is a bit like when I was a child, when my family would stew pork stew at the end of the year."
Each person gets a big bowl and can eat as much as they want; the meat stewed in a big pot over a wood-fired stove is so delicious!
I will never forget the stew made with pig slaughtered meat every year at the end of the year when I was a child!
I was young then, and we didn't get to eat anything good. I would count down the days, hoping for holidays and the New Year when my family would cook something delicious.
Looking back now, I was so greedy back then! All I thought about was eating delicious food and getting new clothes for the New Year.
"You don't understand how hard adults work, sister, do you remember? Every year, Dad would work until the 27th or 28th of the twelfth lunar month before coming home! He'd leave again after the fifth day of the new year, and he was rarely home by the fifteenth."
Chen Hong nodded. How could she not remember? If her father didn't start work before the Lantern Festival, he couldn't sit still at home and would start pushing manure into the fields long before the festival.
Even if they don't do outside work, they can't be idle; the farm work in the fields must be finished ahead of schedule.
Anyway, all the manure in the pen had to be transported to the fields before the fifteenth of the month. As soon as the ice thawed, her mother would take her three children to the fields to shovel and spread the manure.
Her father would work outside when there was work outside, and when there was no work outside, he would come home to do farm work. He was a laborer in the family and would not let himself be idle for a single day.
No wonder Chen Hong feels sorry for her father! Her father's generation of elderly people has really had a tough time, working tirelessly from dawn till dusk.
Even in his old age, he can't stay idle, working until he can no longer do anything. When asked to rest, he worries about his children, fearing they aren't doing well.
Thinking of her father, Chen Hong sighed. The old man was still working in Jinan.
Even after finishing his own home renovation, he couldn't stay idle. A couple of days ago, he called to say he had taken on another renovation job.
He wouldn't accept the money I transferred to him, but after I finished the work, the old man transferred all the money he had left over back to her.
Chen Hong said that this was his wages, but the old man said that since it was his daughter working, there was no such thing as receiving wages.
This left Chen Hong feeling conflicted and unable to give him the money she wanted!
