Chapter 202 Yam (V)
"Xiao girl, everything you said is true." Foreman Xie asked excitedly.
"It's true, but this yam is very hard to dig because it grows long on the ground. I dug several of them today, but they were all broken. It's fine to eat it right after digging it, but if you want to store it and eat it later, you have to dig out the whole thing."
"Hey...it's not that difficult. Take the second master with you tomorrow and I guarantee that everything will be intact after digging it out for you."
After hearing this, Mr. Fan also said, "Xiao girl, tomorrow we will go up the mountain with you to dig. I have dug several kinds of medicinal herbs before, and they grow in the same way as yam. I should be able to dig out the yam intact."
"Okay, Master, you guys go up the mountain from that difficult road at 12 noon tomorrow. I'll go up the mountain a few minutes later than you and will be able to catch up with you soon."
"Xiaoxiao, remember to find a few hoes for us to dig yam tomorrow, and prepare some more bags. We don't have these things." Old Fan said a little embarrassedly.
"No problem. Since I have to go up the mountain to dig yams tomorrow, I will go home first. The masters should rest early."
"Okay, be careful on your way back." Mr. Fan instructed.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao entered the space, found four hoes and two burlap bags, and left the space. She thought that she could only dig two bags of yam at most tomorrow afternoon, so two burlap bags would be enough.
The next day, after Lu Xiaoxiao finished her breakfast, she saw a cut-up wild goat that Zhang Xu had brought to the kitchen. Thinking about going to the mountain with the masters to dig yam in the afternoon, it seemed that she had to stew the goat in the morning.
Fortunately, it is already late autumn and the weather is getting cooler, so if you make it in the morning and keep it in the pot to warm it, it won’t go bad until the evening. But there is no time to cut grass for the pigs in the morning.
Lu Xiaoxiao took the goat meat out of the bag, chopped it into small pieces with a knife, then lit a large earthen stove, added water, ginger slices and cooking wine, and then poured all the cut goat meat pieces into the pot to blanch them.
After blanching the mutton, wash the pot and pour in oil, add rock sugar and stir-fry until melted, then pour the mutton into the pot and stir-fry until colored, then add onions, ginger, garlic, dried chilies, dark soy sauce and cooking wine, and finally add water to cover the mutton, cover the pot and cook for forty minutes.
Lu Xiaoxiao took advantage of this time to take out five white radishes from the space, peeled them and cut them into dice, and then put them into the pot to stew with the mutton.
Forty minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao poured the white radish into the mutton, stir-fried it a few times with a spatula, and then covered the pot and simmered it for twenty minutes.
Twenty minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao lifted the lid of the pot, and a burst of fragrant aroma wafted into her nose. She added two spoonfuls of salt into the pot and stir-fried it for a few times. She couldn't help but pick up a piece of mutton with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. It was soft, glutinous, and tasted great.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a bowl from the cupboard, filled it with mutton and put it into the main room. Then she put all the remaining mutton in the pot into a large basin. Then she washed the pot, added water and brought it to a boil, then put the mutton into the pot to keep it warm.
Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the main room, took out a steamed bun from the space, and had a delicious lunch with stewed mutton with radish. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but after eating the stewed mutton with radish, she felt her body warmed up.
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished her lunch, she looked at the time and saw that it was already 12:10, so she immediately put the sack into her backpack, then carried the backpack and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the foot of the mountain, she looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she took out the five hoes she had prepared from the space, carried them on her shoulders, and then walked up the mountain.
