Finally, when he heard Su Qingxue's footsteps, Zhou Huaian stopped showing off.
You can act however you want in front of your friends, but you still have to save some face in front of your loved one.
Pretending to be serious, he was cleaning up the prey skillfully.
Su Qingxue’s ears are so sharp!
I had heard their noise a long time ago, but I just pretended not to hear it.
I came out and watched them pack up their prey. I didn't expect them to be so fast. There was already a packed little wild boar next to them.
"You guys are so fast! It looks like it won't take long to clean up all the wild boars. It's almost time for lunch, so you guys clean up first and I'll go make you something delicious."
After all the water was boiled, it was put into wooden barrels outside, and they were asked to rinse the wild boar with hot water temporarily to avoid it cooling down and becoming useless, making it impossible to scrape the pig hair off.
The empty pot is just right for cooking.
The small stove that I normally use at home, and I only have an iron pot to cook at work, feels a bit too slow.
There are a few iron pots in the space, but the space for the stove is a bit small, so there is no way to put down two pots, so they can only do it one by one.
"Qingxue, thank you for your help. You've been tired all morning. You don't have to do the difficult ones. Just do whatever you want to fill your stomach."
"Su Zhiqing, thank you for your help."
Su Qingxue waved at the two of them and started cooking.
If you put rice in, it will take a long time to steam it.
It’s not early at all now, so I’ll prepare some meals that don’t take up much time.
Su Qingxue took out the corn bread that she had steamed some time ago. Once the vegetables were cooked, she could just heat them up and eat them, so she wouldn't have to waste too much time.
Corn steamed bread may not be very presentable as a staple food, but it’s good as long as the dish is well cooked.
Take out the two fish I bought at the river in the morning and prepare to make braised fish.
Clean the fish, make a few cuts on it, apply some salt, ginger, garlic and soy sauce on it, and set it aside for later use.
I took some dried vegetables from the space and prepared to stew them with fresh pork later.
Then he took out some dried kelp from the space. He bought this before going to the countryside. However, because he was not near the sea, he did not buy much of this.
But it's still possible to make kelp soup.
First stew some pork and dried vegetables, wrap various spices in gauze, and stew them together in the pot.
After the meat is cooked, put away the spices wrapped in gauze.
Although spices are essential for delicious food, there are two smart people around and we can't give them any chance to suspect.
After the oil was heated, both fish were put in.
If other people saw Su Qingxue using so much oil to cook a fish, they would probably scold her for being a spendthrift.
I added a little more oil. After all, the fish needs to be fried, and it won’t be fragrant enough without oil.
Keep turning the fish over on both sides, trying not to let it burn. When it is almost done, add various seasonings and a little more water, then put it in after it is cooked.
Originally, I should have made the soup first and then cooked the vegetables, but I just thought of those cold steamed buns. While the soup was boiling, I put them on a rack to heat them up. This was killing two birds with one stone.
Zhou Huaian and Sun Rui were busy outside. Although the door was closed, they could still smell the fragrance coming from inside the house.
Sun's cooking skills are particularly good. He even spent some time learning to cook his favorite dishes.
When I smelled the fragrance coming from the house, I could immediately tell what dish was being cooked and even the approximate seasonings used.
"It seems that Su Zhiqing is a very generous person. He actually had such a good meal at noon, with fish and meat. Just by smelling the seasonings, I know that Su Zhiqing is a person who loves to eat."
If you are not a foodie, you will not go out of your way to collect so many seasonings.
He had never even smelled some of the seasonings and didn't know what they were?
I was thinking, if I asked, would others think I was trying to discover her secret recipe?
He really didn't mean that, he just liked cooking so he was more interested in this aspect.
I also really want to know that there are seasonings that I don’t know about, and it’s just a bit of curiosity.
"It's still good to clear the snow. Besides, since you're here to help, we won't treat you casually. Now hurry up and work. If you don't hurry up, the whole pig will be frozen, and it will be difficult to thaw them later."
"Don't worry, although my mouth is busy, my hands are not idle either!"
The two people's external image is gentle and aloof, but when they face each other, they can't wait to expose each other's past.
They have known each other for more than ten years and know almost everything about each other's background, maybe even knowing how old they were when they were still wetting the bed.
The legendary bad friends are just like them.
The two people were talking, but their hands unconsciously moved faster.
Especially when I smell the fragrance coming from the kitchen, I know it’s time to eat, so I cook even faster.
As the wild boar meat froze harder and harder, other tools were useless except for the dagger to cut the meat.
In the end, there was no choice but to cut open the stomachs of all the wild boars, cut the meat into strips, and freeze them directly in the snow.
The only things left were the internal organs and the pig head. Both of them were extremely tired. If the ground wasn't covered with snow and blood, they would have really wanted to sit down and have a good rest.
"Huaian, Sun Zhiqing, eat first and then come clean up."
Su Qingxue's voice saved the two of them. They couldn't wait to rub their hands vigorously on the snow to wipe off all the dirt on their hands, and then walked into the house.
"Qingxue, you're pretty fast. I'm really hungry. It smells delicious. It must be very tasty."
Put water in the pot again and boil it. The kang is burning all day long anyway, so it's a good idea to have some hot water.
The water was just poured in not long ago and is only warm, but it's still ok for washing hands.
"Hurry up and wash your hands with hot water. Your hands will freeze if you rub them with snow."
"I'm really sorry to bother you, Su Zhiqing. We are not cold. We were just working outside and our bodies are warm."
"Yes, Sun Rui is right. We are not cold at all. There is no need to go through so much trouble."
Both hands were frozen red, and Su Qingxue didn't believe that they were not cold.
"It's okay. I've already got some water here. Don't waste it. Go wash up quickly and then eat quickly. The weather is too cold and the food will get cold easily. Don't delay."
