Chapter 53 Winter Hunt (V)
It was already five o'clock in the evening when Lu Xiaoxiao returned home. She went to the kitchen and saw that the fire in the earthen stove had gone out, so she put all the eggs in the pot into a bucket and put it in the kitchen, then cleaned the pot and covered it with the lid.
After Lu Xiaoxiao returned to the main room, she took out a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge that she had cooked at noon, and the braised food she had prepared the day before, and had a delicious meal.
After finishing her meal, Lu Xiaoxiao thought about the steamed buns she made with three-grain flour a few days ago and never made again. Today, she planned to ferment 20 kilograms of three-grain flour and 10 kilograms of refined flour until tomorrow to make steamed buns.
Lu Xiaoxiao spent an hour using a food processor to knead the dough, filling ten basins. She covered them with gauze and placed them on the kang.
After finishing all this, Lu Xiaoxiao simply packed up her things, then she went to take a shower. After the shower, she left the space and went to sleep.
When Lu Xiaoxiao woke up the next day, she went to check the fermentation of the dough. Fortunately, she got up earlier this time, so the dough did not over-ferment and overflow from the basin like last time.
Lu Xiaoxiao first lit the kang and the earthen stove, and then she went to wash up.
After washing up, Lu Xiaoxiao drank a glass of water. Then she took out the chopping board, deflated a bowl of noodles and rolled them into round strips. Then she cut them with a knife, placed them in the steamer, and put them in the pot to steam.
While steaming buns, Lu Xiaoxiao used the meat grinder in the space to grind five pounds of pork belly stuffing. Then she divided the meat stuffing into three portions, one portion with pork, cabbage and vermicelli filling, one portion with braised pork with preserved vegetables and preserved vegetables filling, and the last portion with pure meat filling.
After Lu Xiaoxiao seasoned the meat filling, the steamed buns in the pot were also ready. She took out the steamed buns and placed them on a winnowing basket and put the next pot on to steam them. While the steamed buns were being steamed, she wrapped all the dumplings.
At around noon, Lu Xiaoxiao finally finished steaming seven pots of steamed buns and three pots of dumplings.
She counted and found there were 112 steamed buns and 48 dumplings, so she took out one dumpling of each of the three flavors and put them in the bowl, and put the rest into the space.
After a busy morning, Lu Xiaoxiao sat on the kang to rest for a while. She took out a bottle of milk from the space and ate it with buns.
After eating three buns and a bottle of milk, Lu Xiaoxiao felt full. She thought of the frozen pears in the yard, so she got up, put on her clothes, and went to the backyard to dig up the snow.
When she saw the frozen pears changing color one by one, she was very satisfied, so she put all the frozen pears into the space to eat in the summer.
Lu Xiaoxiao was afraid that fifty frozen pears would not be enough, so she put another fifty pears on the ground, and also put ten bunches of bananas and ten pounds of lychees, so that she could eat icy and cool, all-natural ice cream in the summer.
When Lu Xiaoxiao was about to go back to the house after covering all the fruits with snow, she heard a noisy noise coming from outside the yard. Curiosity drove her to lock the door and walk towards the source of the sound.
Before Lu Xiaoxiao could get close, she saw several people carrying a person covered in blood running towards the village.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw that behind those people there were many people carrying a lot of prey, she knew that the winter hunting team had returned, and what she was worried about happened.
Before Lu Xiaoxiao had time to ask about other things, she ran towards the village clinic.
When she arrived at the clinic, she saw that it was surrounded by people inside and outside, so she took advantage of her petite figure and successfully got in the innermost part.
After hearing everyone talking, Lu Xiaoxiao realized that the injured person was called Li Daqiang. He was hit in the abdomen by a wild boar while trying to save the third brother of the Liu family. Now he was in a dangerous condition due to excessive blood loss and a high fever.
But before she could learn more details, she heard bursts of crying coming from far away. Soon she saw a woman running towards them with a group of children, crying all the way. When everyone saw them coming, they made way for them.
When Lu Xiaoxiao saw the woman coming to the entrance of the clinic, she immediately rushed to Li Daqiang's bedside and cried, "Boss, what happened to you? Wake up quickly, wake up quickly and come to see me and the child. You can't abandon us. You can't be so cruel."
The child beside the woman started crying like her after hearing what she said, which made everyone feel sad.
