Chapter 245 Farm Party
When Qiao Xi came out of the cowshed, she discovered that there were several small bungalows on the farm.
"What's this, Oswin?"
"This is my room. How come, as a farm manager, I don't even have the right to have a private space?" Oswin asked deliberately.
"No, I didn't say that. Of course you can have it." Qiao Xi understood instantly.
After all, it is inconvenient for two people to live in the same building. The two of them were competing with each other before, and Qiao Xi didn't care where he lived.
Now it seems that he took advantage of the time when she went to the secret realm to ask people to build a few small houses. It's a good guy with good eyesight.
"Do you need me to report to you about the situation on the farm during this period?" Oswin took out a large folder.
Without him saying anything, Josh felt a headache.
"No, no, no, I just got back. Please ask the administrator to correct his attitude and not put pressure on the farmer. Let's talk about it tomorrow." Josh refused again and again. Give her time to catch her breath.
“My main thing today is to hold a homecoming party to tell everyone that I’m back!
So now I'm going to prepare something delicious, please don't bother me with work matters," Josh said righteously.
Oswin laughed. "Of course, you are the farmer, I will listen to you. So, dear farmer, is there anything I can do for you?"
Qiao Xi thought about it and realized there really was one, so she instructed, "Please help me pick some curly mint, large-leaf coriander, and sunflower coriander from the vegetable garden. I haven't been back for a month and you haven't visited the vegetable garden. They are almost growing into weeds." She complained.
Oswin pricked up his ears to listen to what kind of work the respected farmer would assign to him. The result was: picking vegetables from the vegetable garden?
Oswin thought for several turns before he remembered the small vegetable garden near the farm cottage.
The various small vegetables growing inside can almost be said to have merged with the weeds. With the cold wind blowing, can they still be eaten?
Besides, when he arrived at the farm, the vegetable garden didn't seem to be growing very well.
After secretly complaining, he still went to the small vegetable garden to pick vegetables obediently.
Forget it, today is the day they return safely after all, so Oswin decided to cooperate with her.
After emptying the space backpack, Josh stretched hard and lay on the sofa for a while.
It’s still comfortable at home.
So what's for dinner tonight? A cold breeze just blew across Josh's hair.
"Damn it, why is the window open!" Josh roared.
Hearing this, the jumping lamb who was competing to see who could break the window open by the window didn't dare to make a sound. Relying on the advantage of its short stature, it sneaked along the wall and ran away.
After Qiao Xi closed the window, he suddenly thought of eating hot pot!
In such a cold day, how can we relieve the cold wind without having a hotpot?
Moreover, Josh had all the ingredients for hot pot, and there were even some big bone sticks that a few big stars insisted that Josh put into his backpack.
It originally planned to give it to Little Star for teeth grinding after it came back.
Now Josh decided to requisition its big bone stick. After all, he could take it out after cooking and then he could think of how to grind his teeth with it.
Those big bone sticks were its trophies. Originally, Josh refused to put these flesh and blood things into the backpack and iron walnut, but finally he couldn't resist the big star's coquettish request, so he had to wrap them with broad leaves and stuff them into the space backpack.
As for the iron walnut, don't even think about it, it's already been stuffed full by Josh.
He did it right away and took out all the things in the space backpack, which made it easier for Josh to deal with them.
Fortunately, Josh asked the brown-headed vulture to help pick off those large bones, so they had not been gnawed by Big Star and there was still a lot of lean meat wrapped around them, which could be sliced up to add a dish to the hot pot.
Now that we have the meat, what remains are a variety of side dishes.
Don't worry about the side dishes. Although I haven't found many high-level crops in the past month in the Thick Fog Secret Realm, there is certainly no problem in having enough side dishes to feed the whole family for hot pot.
Having just returned, he needs to let his body rest for a few days. Qiao Xi decided to make a hot pot with bone broth as the base tonight. He would not do any fancy tricks and would just eat something light and rest up.
The side dishes were also prepared, but with so many animals on the farm, it would inevitably be a bit monotonous even if we used a few more pots to cook hot pot.
Josh thought about it and realized that it was still early and the party would not start until the evening, so he decided to prepare other things first.
What else can be paired with hot pot on cold days?
Honey water chestnuts are so delicious!
When I was in the secret realm before, I always felt that the warm sweet soup was not satisfying enough, but now that I am back, it is so comfortable to have a bowl of hot sweet soup in this weather.
Qiao Xi did it right away. He took out the iron walnut and the horseshoes that were piled up into a hill half a person's height, and handed them to the brown-headed crow vulture who was resting with his eyes closed nearby. Brown-headed crow vulture would help to deal with it.
What else? Josh continued to think.
We have drinks and food, would you like some staple food or something else?
Josh thought about it, but couldn't think of anything else for the time being, so he asked everyone's opinions later.
After consulting with Josh, it was finally decided that tonight's main course would be a vegetable and fruit stew.
In fact, it was difficult to reach a consensus, and finally Josh made a rough decision. Since everyone wanted to eat it, he might as well put them all together and make a mixed salad so that all the animals could eat it.
Wushou objected, but that was the decision.
Opening the warehouse that she hadn't seen for a long time, Josh looked at the fully stocked shelves with some confusion as soon as she entered. It seemed that it was not so full when she left. Did Oswin buy something?
Josh scratched his head and didn't care. He would wait until Oswin officially started reporting the situation tomorrow.
Some taro and arrowroot were dug out, as were some white bell potatoes, and there were even a few bags of wild sweet potatoes and beans stored in the warehouse, just in time to be used as the staple food in this hodgepodge.
After washing everything, steam them in a pot. When the skin of these crops is cooked, put them in water and put a handful of sharp stones. When the water rotates, the skin can be easily peeled off.
A hodgepodge, as the name suggests, means that anything can be added to it. Josh selects fruits that will not conflict with taste and properties, and puts in whatever is available, plus several kinds of ripe potatoes, and finally pours plenty of baked beans in tomato sauce as sauce. In this way, a simple and delicious vegetable and fruit hodgepodge is ready.
Of course, whether it is delicious or not depends on the diners to taste it. Josh feels very good when he cooks it himself, so it cannot be counted.
When the time was almost up, Qiao Xi put the water chestnuts that had been processed by the brown-headed vulture into the pot and started to cook. Now that he was back home, he had more ingredients to make the water chestnut snack.
Qiao Xi also prepared several different kinds of dried flowers to make different flavors of water chestnut juice.
The hot pot is in place, and the return banquet of Weiguang Farm has officially begun!
