The place Yunxi discovered wasn't too far from where the trap was dug; it was only about a ten-minute walk away.
However, there is a rather secluded place there.
Because Yunxi kept following the stream, in front of a particularly dense thicket of bushes, after passing through the bushes, she came to an open space of about a hundred square meters.
The methods used to implement this method on this open space were all blocked by bushes, leaving a clearing in the middle.
If Yunxi hadn't followed the stream, she really wouldn't have discovered this place; it's truly well-hidden.
Even the stream flows through there, so you can work on that open space without worrying about not being able to use the water from the stream.
The water in the stream would be very dirty to drink, but it's fine for washing pots, pans, and other utensils.
Directly control the thorny vines in the bushes, making them move to both sides, and then restore them to their original state after you have passed.
Yunxi easily passed through the bushes without scratching anywhere on her body.
It's so far from the village that even the most delicious aromas can't get out.
Take out the stones from when we built the makeshift stove in the backyard last time. They've been stored away in the storage space ever since, but this time they're ready to be used again.
The two pots I used last time are still in my storage space; I'll take them out together this time.
First, two temporary stoves were set up near the stream, and then the pots were taken out and washed again.
They placed the pot directly on the makeshift stove and then took out a lot of dry firewood from their storage space.
There was still plenty of firewood in the space. Whenever I came across it on my way up the mountain, I took it all and stored it in the space.
In addition, the woodshed was not big enough, and there was too much firewood in the space, so there was not enough room to store it all, and a lot of it was left in the space.
Fortunately, we don't need to gather firewood now; we can just use the firewood from our space.
Matchboxes and similar items can be taken directly from the space. I bought quite a lot at the supply and marketing cooperative last time, but I only kept a small box at home, and the rest are in the space.
Heat both stoves until they are burning, then place the iron pot directly on top of the stoves. Wait until the water in the pot has boiled away before starting your work.
I took out the marinated small fish and placed a large basin directly on the ground. I always felt that this would dirty the small fish inside.
It seems I'll have to put a table in the space next time. Putting things on the table, whether or not it gets clean, or whether it makes things cleaner, at least I'll feel cleaner in my mind.
I didn't have any experience the first time, but I'll get better next time.
The small fish was placed separately on a piece of tarpaulin, so there was no need to worry about leaves falling in.
Take out the chopped pork fat, put some water in the pot first, and then slowly put the pork fat in.
It was achieved little by little through hard work.
Working with two pots together seems to speed things up a bit.
The pot was simmering until midnight, and Yunxi took out the lard left over from the wild boar she had killed the night before. Since she was going to do it, she might as well do it all at once.
I just took the lard out of my spatial storage. It looked quite clean on the surface, so I took it to the stream to wash it. After washing it, I found some clean water in my spatial storage and washed it again.
While rendering the lard, they continued slicing on the other side.
The amount of fat left by the wild boars last night wasn't as much as the first time; it probably only weighed about 70 or 80 pounds in total.
It should yield about fifty or sixty catties of oil.
Once the oil was rendered, it smelled incredibly fragrant.
Although it can't compare to the sesame oil I buy, the freshly rendered lard is still incredibly fragrant.
As the oil in the pot increased, almost filling it halfway, Yunxi took out some Sichuan peppercorns, salt, sugar, and scallions from her spatial storage and put them all into the pot.
When it was almost ready, Yunxi quickly took out a large vat from her spatial storage.
This large vat can hold more than 100 jin (50 kg). The two batches of lard combined are more than enough to fill the vat.
Moreover, these large vats are not so easy to break, since the oil is still very hot after frying.
Pour all the oil from the two pots into the large vat, and then put the chopped pork fat into it.
The fried pork cracklings that had been fried until completely dry were also placed in a separate soup bowl.
The fried pork crackling dumplings I remember smelled so delicious. I'll quickly save them to my storage space so I can make a lot for myself and enjoy them to my heart's content.
There was probably too much fat on the slab, so it took a little longer than usual. It took about an hour to finish.
This is because the two pots are used to cook the food together; if they were used separately, it would definitely not be as fast.
The large vat, which could hold over 100 kilograms, was completely filled with lard, and some of it couldn't even fit inside.
Yunxi glanced at the two pots and saw that the remaining lard weighed about ten pounds, definitely more.
Then he took out a small earthenware jar from his spatial storage. This jar could hold five pounds of oil. He poured a little oil from both pots into the jar. After filling the five-pound jar, he put the remaining oil into the pot.
There seemed to be a lot of oil left, but since I was going to fry the small fish next, and there were so many small fish that I could use them all, I didn't pour any more out.
Let's leave it in the pot for now. We'll use it up eventually anyway, so there's no need to pack it up and put it back in, saving time.
Perhaps the aroma of the Yunxi River and fried small fish in this area has attracted animals here without them even realizing it.
Outside the bushes, the grunting of wild boars could be heard.
Yunxi hadn't originally planned to hunt this time, since she had already had a good catch yesterday and had given six piglets to the village, so she wasn't short of meat.
But when meat is delivered to your door, there's no reason to refuse it.
He pulled out a large piece of firewood from the makeshift stove and put it directly into his spatial storage, so as to avoid accidentally setting the forest on fire if he left it outside.
Seeing that the fire in the pot wasn't very big anymore, Yunxi quietly went to the edge of the bushes and used her wood-type ability to directly grow vines, preparing to tie up the wild boar outside the bushes.
At this time, the vines in this place are all the kind with barbs. When they are tied to the wild boar, the more it struggles, the more pain it will feel.
After binding them with vines, they were instantly stored inside the space.
