Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods

Chapter 19 19. Braised Pig's Trotters
It snowed heavily for two days in a row, and barely stopped in the early morning of the third day.

Cheng Xi pushed open the door with a shovel, stepped on it and submerged his knees.

Oh open!

This must be 30 centimeters, right?

The three of them wore thick cotton coats and began to shovel snow. After half an hour, they cleared out the yard, and there were a few little snowmen under the east wall.

Walking out of the yard, one can see a vast expanse of whiteness, and the entire Shenjia Village is covered in white.

After a while, the villagers gradually went out with their tools, and the sound of chatting and fighting mixed with the cries of poultry spread far away.

"Is this snow really heavy? It's not so early in previous years!"

"I really let the patriarch tell the truth, is there really a snow disaster?"

"Then I have to hurry up and buy some food. I bought some black noodles a few days ago, and I still can't eat it for the New Year!"

"Why panic, go to Fucheng to ask about the price of food first."

After the first heavy snowfall, the villagers grew a little bit worried because of the reminder from the sixth uncle.

The snow on the dirt road leading to Fucheng gradually melted, leaving a small puddle. Many people went to Fucheng.

Destination, grain shop.

In the small courtyard of the Shen family, the three of them were observing carefully around a few wooden troughs.

"Sister-in-law, the spinach you planted has sprouted!"

Cheng Xi asked Uncle Shuanzi to make a few shallow rectangular wooden troughs for growing vegetables in winter.

On that day, she spread a thick layer of soil under the wooden trough, briefly germinated and soaked the seeds, and then sprinkled it.In addition to spinach seeds, there are lettuce, garlic, and leeks.

"It's warm in the room. If you keep this temperature, it will grow quickly."

"Then can't we also eat vegetables in winter?"

"nature."

Cheng Xi, who was calm on the surface, was actually quite happy in his heart.

In ancient times, it was difficult to eat fresh vegetables even in the imperial palace, but she did it!
Tianxiu!

"Xiao Qiqi, is there anything you want to eat?"

"Hmm braised pork?"

"Too tired, change it."

"Sweet and sour pork ribs?"

"I just ate it yesterday, so I'll change it."

"Salt Baked Chicken?"

"The chicken is too small, it will grow longer."

Shen Xingqi was confused, "Why don't you tell me, sister-in-law?"

Is there anything else in the house? Is it possible that I will not eat meat today?
No, my sister-in-law loves meat the most. Ever since she moved to the village, she has eaten meat every day, and she has gained a lot of weight in just a few days.

Cheng Xi grinned and said from his heart:

"Eat pig's trotters."

This simple baby, why didn't she talk about her heart after choosing for a long time, she still has to give some advice!
Just do what he said, Cheng Xi turned around and went to the cellar to get four pig's trotters for the stew.

Extra meal!

Shen Xingqi who stayed where she was: "."

A little understand and a little don't understand, very confused.

"Brother, sister-in-law's mind is really hard to guess."

She cast a pitiful glance at his brother like a little adult, "Thank you for your hard work."

Shen Xingluo: "."

What should I do if my sister becomes more and more stupid as his wife brings him along?
In the kitchen, Cheng Xi was so busy.

After processing the trotters, blanch them in water, add green onion, ginger and garlic to remove the fishy smell, and take them out for later use.

Immediately afterwards, put lard and rock sugar into the pan and stir-fry until the sugar color, and then put the chopped pig's trotters into small pieces and stir-fry, and a scent wafts out.

After adding the aniseed ingredients and stir-frying for a while, Cheng Xi added a spoonful of sorghum wine, and then added soy sauce for color while the two of them couldn't see.

Add water, cover the pot, wait for the high heat to boil, then turn to a low heat and simmer.

The small courtyard of the Shen family is located at the foot of the mountain, and the terrain is higher than other places. From the window, you can see the distant mountain peaks at a glance.

The white snow covered the original mountains, and the large forests were all white, except for occasional patches of dark green pine trees.

The birds flew over the branches, splashing the snowflakes on the trees and falling, and the static scene changed in seconds.

"This picture can be used as a computer screensaver."

Cheng Xi was a little regretful, but then he remembered something and became happy again, and ran into the room while the pig's trotters were boiling on a low fire.

"Shen Xingluo, Shen Xingluo!"

The male owner inside the door was startled, looked up and saw a cheerful figure barging in.

"Is there any history of Shennong Mountain?"

"Have."

He put together the ancient books in his hands, "Shennong Mountain is famous for the rare herbs that are all over the mountain, and that's where the name comes from."

"But I saw that not many people entered the mountain."

"The terrain of Shennong Mountain is steep. People who enter the mountain cherish their own lives more than precious medicinal materials."

"Well, the foot of the mountain is quite gentle."

"The hill near the village is indeed very gentle, but this is only the tip of the iceberg of Shennong Mountain. Even the hunters in the village dare not go there easily."

Shen Xingluo's heart moved, and he guessed her thoughts in an instant, "Do you want to go into the mountains?"

"That's the plan."

Cheng Xi sat up straight, "You also know that I know some martial arts and have great strength, so I just want to try my luck in the mountains."

In fact, she went for the precious herbs.

There is now an extra fan-shaped area with a radius of 30 meters in the space, which is due to the placement of living creatures, so what if we put more?
Cheng Xi felt that there was a high probability that it would be upgraded again.

Little did they know that Shen Xingluo, who was sitting opposite her at this time, also had the idea of ​​entering the mountain.

There are already two thousand catties of game from the orc plane in the storage compartment of the system. Although it is kept fresh, it cannot be left uneaten all the time, and a suitable reason must be found to take it out.

After much deliberation, hunting game in the mountains is currently the most reasonable source.

"Find a time, I will go with you."

"you?"

Cheng Xi questioned.

Shen Xingluo raised his eyebrows, "I am not as good as you in kung fu, but I have read a few medical books and know a lot of herbs."

The implication is that even if precious herbs are placed in front of you, you probably would have stepped over them as if they were grass.

Cheng Xi choked, she really only knew edible vegetables among all kinds of herbs.

Even if I went camping with my friends, I had enough food, and I was not familiar with wild animals at all.

You win this game.

"Then together."

The pig's trotters in the kitchen had been stewed for an hour, and a rich aroma was emitted after the lid was lifted.

Fortunately, the neighbors around the small courtyard are far away, otherwise it would definitely cause envious and jealous noises from several families.

Cheng Xi added two sticks of wood to the stove, and the fire collected the juice.

Braised pork trotters out of the pot.

"time to eat."

Because there is an iron stove in the living room to maintain the temperature at around 26 degrees, even if the thick snow outside melts and lowers the temperature by a few degrees, it will not affect them.

The pig's trotters, which were cut into small pieces, were neatly placed on a clean white plate, with a layer of thick soup poured on it. The skin of the pig's trotters was springy, and the color was rich, with a hint of bright color.

"Eh? It looks better than braised pork?"

Shen Xingqi smelled the fragrance on the tip of her nose, and her sense of anticipation was instantly full.

"Not only looks better than braised pork, but also tastes better than it."

"It doesn't look like much meat, could it be the same as ribs?"

"Try it and you'll know."

Cheng Xi picked up a piece and put it in a small bowl. The soup melted into the white rice, and just looking at it whetted the appetite.

Shen Xingqi also picked up a piece, and put a mouthful of Q-bomb tendons into her mouth. The taste was rich and palatable, fat but not greasy.

good to eat!

With just one bite, the pig's trotters replaced the braised pork in her heart, ranking NO.1!
