Desert Island Survival: I took my concubine and raised wolf cubs

After the noon banquet, Zhu's family left with the meat that Wen Xian had prepared.

In addition, Wen Xian also packed some crispy meat and fried small fish for them to take home to eat.

Of course, she didn't forget to pack a copy for Zhu Li.

Crispy pork can be used to make soup. When making soup, it would be best if you can put a handful of pea tips.

If not, you can also add a handful of cabbage or green vegetables.

Wen Xian wanted to eat pea tips, but unfortunately, she only brought back pea seeds when she came back.If you want to eat pea tips, you have to wait for a while.

When Xue Xiaohua helped pack her things and went back, Wen Xian also packed some crispy meat and other vegetables for her and forced them to take them back.

Xue Xiaohua eats here from time to time, and Carpenter Xue is the only one at home, which is very pitiful.

In addition, Wen Xian also packed a portion for Madam Qin, but Madam Qin did not want it.

It is said that they come here every day and can eat every day, so they cannot take more.

When Wen Xian saw this, she didn't force anything on her anymore.

After everyone left, Wen Xian and Fang Jiaren began to process the remaining pork.

There is a lot of leftover pork, and it is not easy to preserve as bacon in summer.

She saved some and prepared to make dried meat and pork jerky.

As for the rest, it will be cut into large and small lumps and prepared to be made into pot meat.

Pot meat can be stored for a long time, so it is best to cook it now.

First put half a pot of oil into the pot, then put all the meat lumps into the pot, and cook them with oil.

After it is cooked, put the oil and meat into a large vat and seal it for storage.

In this way, the pork can be preserved for a long time.Every time you want to eat, just take a piece of it out of the jar.

"It turns out that meat can be preserved like this." Fang Jiaren said in surprise, "I thought it could only be made into bacon or frozen in an ice cellar."

In the past, there were ice cellars available in the palace or at home, but she had never worried about such a thing.

Now that I have nothing, I realize that everything from big things in life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation to daily necessities, including food, rice, oil, and salt, all have to be accumulated bit by bit by myself.

Life is really difficult, but fulfilling.

"There are more you can't think of." Wen Xian raised her eyebrows and said, "Next, we have to boil some salt first. We have no salt at home."

Cooking this pot of meat has already used up almost all the salt. If we don't cook some salt, it will be difficult for them to eat.

"Still cooking salt?" Zheng Rou asked doubtfully, "Madam, you didn't buy any salt when you left the island?"

She thought that she already had more than 1000 taels of silver, so she would buy some daily necessities no matter what, and she would not make anything by herself.

However, Wen Xian shook her head and said: "I didn't buy it. The salt sold outside is basically coarse salt. Even if there is fine salt, it is very expensive. Moreover, it is not as good as what we make ourselves."

She originally planned to buy some salt. After all, salt must be very cheap in coastal areas.

But I never expected that the salt sold outside was not only expensive, but also yellow in color, as if it was an inferior product that had not been purified.

Zheng Rou said in surprise: "Isn't salt all white?"

Why is there still yellow? The salt they make themselves is pure white, let alone those made by professional salt farms.

In her understanding, what they had done in the past was just a small fight.

As if to confirm this fact, she moved her gaze to Xia Zhi.Her eyes asked her if the salt outside was really yellow.

Xia Zhi calmed down and nodded solemnly: "It's yellow."

It was precisely because of this that she realized how powerful Wen Xian had done with them.The salt that Wen Xian casually led them to make turned out to be better than what the salt merchants sold.

Now that I think about it, this is a shocking thing.

Wen Xian said angrily: "It's not that mysterious. It's just that we cook it ourselves very carefully, so we feel more at ease when we eat it."

Those yellowish salts will probably make you sick if you eat too much.She preferred to go to the trouble and boil the salt herself.

Fang Jiaren took over: "I agree that we can cook it ourselves. Even the salt I use at home is not as good as what we make ourselves."

No wonder she always feels that cooking with salt cooked by herself tastes better. It turns out that it is not her problem, but that the salt cooked by herself is better.

After confirming that they would boil the salt themselves, everyone started moving again, carrying buckets to fetch sea water.

This time there is no need to filter the fresh water, just pour the sea water into the pot and cook it.

The pier was a bit far from home, so Wen Xian tied a rope to the bucket, went out through the back door, and went to the nearest wild beach to fetch water.

The wild beach has strong water and usually no one goes there.

This has resulted in a situation where although those places are dangerous, the water is very clear.

Wen Xian put the wooden barrel tied with a rope into the sea along the reef. After filling it with water, she picked it up and sent it home via relay.

When Mrs. Qin came back from her nap, she saw Wen Xian and the others carrying water, and she quickly ran over to help.

After filling two large tanks of water in the yard, it was time to start a fire to boil the sea water, and then go up the mountain to cut some firewood.

Madam Qin didn't know what they were going to do, but she was smart enough not to ask, and she didn't stay in the kitchen.

Instead, he went to the backyard and started digging and weeding, preparing to sow the seeds Wen Xian brought back.

After a week of busy work like this, I finally cooked more than ten kilograms of salt.

While packing the salt, Zhu Qing happened to come over to say goodbye.

Zhu Qing saw the snow-white fine salt and opened his mouth, not embarrassed to ask.

Wen Xian, on the other hand, said bluntly: "Whatever Mr. Qing wants to say, just say it."

She didn't think that Zhu Qing wanted to start a salt selling business, and selling private salt privately was a capital crime.

Zhu Qing said dumbly: "I'm just surprised that the salt from Dr. Wen's house is very white."

He still wouldn't touch selling illegal salt, a capital crime of beheading.

Unless these people in front of him return to high positions and authorize him.Otherwise, if you really do it, these things will only be used as leverage in the future.

"Young Master Qing, take a can back to eat." Wen Xian decisively gave a pound of salt to Zhu Qing, and asked by the way, "Young Master Qing, when will you be back after going out this time?"

Jiang Lingling and Wu Junlan told her last night that they wanted to go out to the island with Zhu Qing.

She agreed, and she had no position not to agree.People have their own things to do, so she can't tie them up here.

"It will take about a month for us to come back." Zhu Qing took the salt and thanked him, then continued, "If you two Miss Wen want to go out, you might as well go with my boat. When you get to the town, wherever you want to go, I You can also find someone to send them off.”

It's only late July now, and the next sacrificial ceremony will be at the end of August, still more than a month away.

Although the sacrificial ceremony next month will still be small, he will still come back.

Zhu Qing was a little more polite and distant towards other people.What he valued more was Wen Xian and Wen Xian's own abilities.

As for how much power other people might have, Zhu Qing didn't really care, he just wanted to be polite and considerate.
