Chapter 51 Winter Hunt (Part 3)
After Lu Xiaoxiao heated up both kangs, the room became warm. In order to stop herself from having wild thoughts, she planned to make a big pot of braised food this afternoon so that she could eat it whenever she wanted.
Lu Xiaoxiao started working right away. After lighting the earthen stove, she added half a pot of water into the pot. She then took out three processed chickens, three ducks, pig's trotters, leg bones, beef tripe, beef tendons and beef trotters from the space and put them into the pot. Then she took out her favorite duck necks, duck clavicles, duck tongues, eggs, and chicken and duck feet from the space and put them into the pot. She blanched them all in water to remove the dirt inside.
After Lu Xiaoxiao blanched the food and cleaned the pot, she added water back into the pot and then put in star anise, cinnamon, bay leaves, peppercorns, red peppers, angelica, cardamom, fennel, and galangal. She then added ginger and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, rock sugar and light soy sauce to enhance the flavor, dark soy sauce to color it, and finally salt to season.
Lu Xiaoxiao first puts the ingredients that are difficult to cook and braises them for half an hour, then puts all the others into the pot and braises them on low heat for another hour, and finally turns off the heat and soaks them for three to five hours.
At around six o'clock in the evening, Lu Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the pot, and a strong aroma wafted into her nose. She swallowed her saliva when she saw the delicious braised food.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out a spoon, scooped out a braised egg and took a bite. The egg white was chewy and the egg yolk was fragrant. Because the marinade had penetrated into the egg, it was particularly flavorful and delicious.
Lu Xiaoxiao took out two large basins and a large bowl from the space, drained the marinade into the basin, and then poured the marinade into the bowl, so that she could use the marinade again next time she braised something.
After Lu Xiaoxiao cut a platter of braised food, she put the rest into the space warehouse.
After Lu Xiaoxiao brought the braised food platter into the main room, she took out a bowl of white porridge from the space. She liked to eat braised food with white porridge, which could help relieve the greasiness.
After eating and drinking, Lu Xiaoxiao felt much better. It turned out that consuming carbohydrates can make people happy.
Seeing that it was only 7pm, Lu Xiaoxiao was not sleepy, so she went into her space to watch the TV series she hadn't finished watching. After watching for a while, she suddenly remembered that there were movies in this era, and she didn't know what they were like. She must experience them if she had the chance.
Lu Xiaoxiao watched TV for more than two hours without realizing it. Her eyelids began to feel heavier and heavier. She knew she wanted to sleep, so she went to the bathroom to take a quick shower and left the room. She checked that the fire on the kang was suitable and went to sleep.
Lu Xiaoxiao had a dreamless night and woke up to daybreak. She felt the temperature in the room was a little low and knew that the fire in the kang was about to go out. She got up, reheated the kang, went to the toilet, and then went back to bed.
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't want to get up today and she wasn't hungry. She just wanted to curl up in the warm bed and read a novel for a while. In modern times, she was a novel fan and especially liked to read various novels about reincarnation and time travel. After reading them, she would fantasize about her own reincarnation and time travel. Now she doesn't need to fantasize anymore because it has become real.
Lu Xiaoxiao picked out a book about how to get rich from her space and started reading it. After seeing the heroine’s various outrageous actions, she thought about herself and wondered why there was such a big difference.
Time passed quickly when Lu Xiaoxiao was immersed in the world of books. When she looked at the time again, it was already past noon. She felt her neck was a little sore and her eyes were a little dry after reading for so long, so she decided to stop reading here today.
After Lu Xiaoxiao got up and washed up, she was not very hungry. She took out a meat bun from the space and walked towards the backyard while eating it. She wanted to see if the pears had turned into frozen pears.
Lu Xiaoxiao dug through the snow and took out a pear. It felt very hard on the outside, but she didn't know if the inside was frozen. Just in case, she decided to freeze it for another day.
Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the house and thought about the winter hunting again. She didn't know if anyone would be injured when she came back. It seemed that she should prepare some first aid medicine. If someone was really seriously injured, she could take it out to save people and say that the medicine was brought when she went to the countryside.
A few days later, Lu Xiaoxiao had to sigh that she now had foresight, because these medicines saved a life.
