After being here for a long time, she knew that many people in the team would hunt small prey in the mountains and bring it back to eat, so she was not so cautious anymore.
Smelling the aroma of meat wafting over there, Liu Ruoling swallowed her saliva, glared at Chu Maoshen fiercely, and cursed him in her heart for being useless. She scooped most of the twice-cooked pork in the bowl into her own bowl, then lowered her head to eat her rice.
Chu Maoshen saw Liu Ruoling's reaction clearly, but he was too lazy to argue with her. He also wanted to go hunting in the mountains. He had also been to the army for training, but he had neither experience in walking in the mountains nor the right tools, and no one to accompany him, so he didn't dare to take the risk of going into the mountains.
"It seems that I need to build good relationships with Shao Lidong or Kang Mingyuan. Otherwise, life will only get harder and harder." He sighed in his heart.
The things sent by home this month are much less than before. His mother also told them in the letter to become independent as soon as possible. It seems that the things they have will become less and less in the future. If they can't go to the mountains to hunt for wild animals to improve their lives, their lives will become more and more difficult. Alas, I don't know how long they will have to stay in this broken village. If it takes too long, he will definitely go crazy.
On Qiao Mo's side, the food was served. Kang Mingyuan and the others had also returned. They all had a good harvest. Qiao Mo looked at the half bucket of loaches and eels, his eyes narrowed with smiles, and he kept asking them to wash their hands and eat.
"Momo, there are still a lot of loaches and eels in the muddy field. We will go there in the afternoon." Han Yimo said proudly.
"We don't have the chance normally, but today it's raining and we don't have to go to work, so we can catch more. They have strong vitality anyway, so we can raise them for ten days or so without any problem." Kang Mingyuan also nodded.
"The loaches can be dried and made into dried vegetables. I will pick out these loaches in the afternoon, marinate them for two days, steam them, and then put them on the stove to dry. They will be dried in two or three nights." Qiao Mo thought that there were not many vegetables in winter, so he thought of this. Besides, they had eaten a lot of loaches and eels these days, and they would get tired of them if they continued to eat them.
"Don't be too tired. If it really doesn't work, we can go into the mountains to hunt even in winter." Kang Mingyuan was afraid of tiring her.
"I know." Qiao Mo nodded.
After dinner, Kang Mingyuan and Han Yimo set off fully armed. This time, Shao Lidong and Wang Jiaming did not follow them, but Chu Maoshen followed them.
After Qiao Mo cleaned up the table and dishes, she used scissors to cut open the loach, removed the internal organs and the head and tail, and then spread salt and spices to marinate.
After marinating the loaches, she picked out a few large eels, cut them open, removed the internal organs, heads and bones, cut them into pieces and put them there to be fried in the evening. The remaining eels were kept in a basin.
After finishing all this, it was already past two o'clock. She went to the tambourine maker to get cotton first, and then continued making clothes after coming back.
The autumn rain lasted for three days. During these days, Kang Mingyuan and his friends seemed to be obsessed with digging loaches and eels. Except for going home for dinner, they stayed in the fields every day.
Qiao Mo sets aside two hours every day to collect loaches, and as for the eels, he eats them in different ways, while keeping the rest in a tank: in order to raise the eels, they had to clean and use a broken water tank left behind the house by the former educated youth.
