This is used to make sauerkraut in winter. I remember that the original owner's grandmother would make two vats of sauerkraut every winter, so that she would have vegetables for both winter and spring.
The remaining vegetables were dried vegetables. If you wanted to eat fresh vegetables, you could only eat radishes and cabbages. Don't even think about anything else. You'll get through the winter on those two things.
First, put the two large vats into the space, and then take them out when you get to the well. They haven't been used for a long time, and they're covered with a thick layer of dust.
After cleaning, I just set it aside to dry, so it's ready to use when needed.
The blood tofu in the pot was cooked quickly. It was all put into a wooden basin with a little water added. When we want to eat it next time, we can just take it out and stir-fry it.
Two whole pots of blood tofu were cooked in less than 15 minutes. This was only because the water was boiling; otherwise, it would take so long just to boil water.
After everything was packed, including the wooden basin and the blood tofu, it was all stored in the space.
It seems like there's nothing in the house that can hold things. After we salt the meat from those two pigs, we'll just have to put it in the big vat.
There's only one pot at home, and we used to boil water for bathing in it. But after learning that we boiled pig's blood in it, and considering we'll be cooking all sorts of other dishes in the future, I feel a bit uncomfortable using it to boil water for bathing.
There happened to be a stove nearby, with a kettle on top of it. Although it didn't boil much water, it was enough for my needs.
As I came out of the kitchen, I glanced into the yard and saw mushrooms drying on a mat nearby.
I was planning to put them away after I finished eating, but I completely forgot. It's not too late to put them away now.
Back inside, I found a burlap sack. After collecting all the mushrooms, it filled the sack perfectly, with a little bit to spare.
He grabbed a straw rope, tied the sack shut, and put it into his spatial storage. He also packed the remaining dried mushrooms into the sack.
Anyway, we'll keep drying mushrooms, and sooner or later we'll fill that sack.
I took out some mushrooms from my spatial storage, picked through them a bit, and even though I didn't wash them, at least they were a little cleaner.
It took another half hour to pick out the mushrooms before the drying mat was completely covered.
I picked out some broken mushrooms; I'll keep the edible ones for now, and sweep the rest away as trash later.
I moved a stool to the hallway and sat there for about ten minutes. Then I went to the kitchen to check the water in the pot and made sure it was boiling.
Then he took the two wild boars out of his spatial storage and poured boiling water over them.
This will make shaving easier later.
Yunxi felt that her natal space was incredibly useful. After watering one side, she could put it away and then put it out of the space to water the other side, which was so easy.
After watering it thoroughly, the water in the pot was used up.
I put cold water back into the pot and added more firewood to the stove, since you can never have too much hot water.
I took out the kitchen knife and touched the blade; it just didn't feel sharp enough.
Find a whetstone in the yard. After all, the wild boar's hair is so coarse that if the kitchen knife isn't sharp enough, the hair won't be shaved off cleanly.
Yunxi felt that since she often cleaned up after hunting, it would be better for her to have a dedicated knife.
Thinking about what my family was missing, I suddenly felt that I needed to go to town tomorrow to buy everything I needed.
Not only can you buy sharp knives at this blacksmith shop, but you also need to buy some large basins or large vats.
If I don't buy more tools, since I hunt like it's just for fun, I definitely won't have that much stuff to carry.
After Yunxi sharpened the knife, she began to walk towards the wild boar.
Suddenly feeling like eating them isn't such a simple thing. After the fur was permed, I quickly shaved off their fur.
Even though Yunxi was strong enough, it still took her more than an hour to shave all the hair off the two pigs.
This is really not an easy task. Just thinking about all those wild boars in the space makes me feel quite overwhelmed.
In particular, there was a male wild boar weighing about 500 pounds inside the space. Its fur looked quite stiff, and dealing with it would definitely be more difficult than dealing with the two sows.
After cleaning off the fur, they cut open the belly and took out the internal organs, which did smell quite foul.
The internal organs of both wild boars were completely removed and stored separately in a corner of the space, to be dealt with after the meat was prepared.
Yunxi thought it might be because her soul was a peach blossom fairy, so she didn't feel that dealing with two wild boars was a bloody thing at all.
There wasn't even a hint of fear in them; looking at them, they seemed no different from ordinary things.
It seems that deep down, there's still the cold-blooded nature of the Peach Blossom Demon at work.
Slowly, the two wild boars were completely dismembered. The two heads were placed to one side, along with eight trotters, two tails, four forelegs, four hind legs, two ribs, and the rest were various kinds of pork belly, lean meat, fat, and lard.
Looking at the four hind leg meats, four words suddenly popped into Yunxi's mind: premium ham.
Oh, so it turns out that the original owner's father had mentioned Jinhua ham to her, and even brought some back from the army, saying that a comrade-in-arms had sent it to him. He couldn't bear to eat it himself, but he brought it back for his daughter to eat.
After thinking about the taste, it did indeed taste pretty good. I subconsciously smacked my lips, then quickly shook my head. This kind of wild boar meat definitely wouldn't taste good.
There wasn't much lard, and even the fat wasn't much. At this time, everyone liked to eat fatty meat because they were so lacking in oil and fat.
However, the fat from the two wild boars can yield more than ten kilograms of oil, which is enough. Anyway, there are still so many wild boars in the space, we can get more if needed.
Yunxi kept the pork belly but put everything else into her spatial storage, planning to deal with it later when she had time.
All the pork belly will be cut into strips, each weighing about two pounds, so that it will be easier to smoke after being rubbed with salt.
The wild boar weighs about 300 jin (150 catties), and the two of them together yield more than 400 jin (200 kg) of good meat, with about 200 jin (100 catties) of pork belly alone.
