A leisurely life in ancient times

Chapter 257 Corn Pancakes, Foodies (four more)

Cao couldn't help howling, and lazily walked out of the kitchen.

Standing in the corridor, watching Lang Mo command Lance to dig a well, the rain is heavy, and the open space in front of the house is muddy at the moment.

"How deep must the well be dug?" Cao asked curiously.

At this moment, Jiang Qing also came out.Bamboo shoots need to be soaked for two to three hours, don't worry about it for a while.Looking at the clearing filled with wet mud, Lang Mo stood under the big elm tree, while Lance turned into a beast and dug a well underneath.

"Just dig out the groundwater!" Jiang Qing said uncertainly.I didn't think about how to get a well, as long as I can make use of it.

Hearing this, Cao nodded instead.It is not difficult to dig out the groundwater. As expected, Lance's exclamation came from below, and the groundwater under the surface has been dug out.

"Have you dug it out?" Jiang Qing asked.

Lang Mo bent over, looked at the hole below, and said, "The water is out, Lance will come up first."

Hearing Lang Mo's call, Lance crawled out, covered in mud, almost couldn't even identify what it was from the animal body?
The corners of Jiang Qing's mouth twitched, thinking about making a few more dishes for dinner, which could be regarded as satisfying Lance's appetite.After all, everyone in the tribe knows that Lance has always been clean, and this time he even risked his image, just for the sake of eating meat. It's really not easy.

"The water has been dug out, let's put it aside for now!" Jiang Qing thought about it, and let the two of them enter the house.The wells can't be fixed for the time being when it's raining. Now that they've been dug out, she can take care of them when she has time in the future.

"Don't you need to do anything else?" Lang Mo asked suspiciously, looking at Jiang Qing with his head tilted.Didn't she say that she had to build a shed and lay some stones beside the well?
"It's not easy to deal with those things in rainy days, you should clean up this piglet first, it's getting late!" Jiang Qing said.

But no, it's raining and it gets dark early.It was obviously only four or five o'clock, but it looked like it was almost six or seven o'clock.It was said that the two of them were not entangled, the water was convenient, and they did not take the piglet to the river for disposal.Instead, right next to the kitchen, she peeled off the pig skin with her paws. Jiang Qing looked at the pig skin regretfully. The pig skin tastes good when fried, but it is a pity that it is troublesome to make.

Plus, it was raining again.

Later, it will be sunny.

Let Lang Mo hunt the head of wild boar, scald the pig skin with boiling water and shave the pig hair, then the pig skin can also be eaten.However, she didn't ask Lang Mo to throw away the pigskin, but called Cao Cao, and the two of them took the pigskin and burned it with flames, burning off the hair little by little.After a while, scrape with a bone knife and try to see if it can be cleaned up.

Both Lang Mo and Lance are good hunters, and they deal with them very quickly.After a while, the two put the cleaned pork in a rattan basket, and then began to remove the internal organs.

Here, Jiang Qinghe Cao took a bone knife and began to shave off the unburned hair on the pig skin.

Seeing that it was almost done, Jiang Qing got up and washed her hands, intending to marinate the bamboo shoots first, and leave this matter to Cao to take care of it slowly.

"Luo Shan, why didn't you come here?" Jiang Qing carefully put the drained bamboo shoots into the pot one by one.Looking at Cao curiously, with Luo Shan's delicious temperament, knowing that Cao and Lance are coming, how can she stay still?
"She took Falcon back to her parents' house, and said they were discussing about getting married in half a month." Cao replied.In fact, when Luo Shan learned that she and Lance had come to look for Jiang Qing, her face was very long. If she hadn't made an appointment early in the morning to return there tonight, she would have flown over immediately.

Jiang Qing smiled, shook her head and said, "Tomorrow, she will definitely torment you hard."

"So what?" Cao shrugged. She couldn't be blamed for this matter. Who made Luo Shan feel unlucky? At noon, her parents sent a message to ask her and Falcon to go back at night, and she even delayed the chance to refuse. None, so I had no choice but to agree.

Jiang Qing smiled lightly, looked at the two rattan baskets in the corner, her eyes lit up, and shouted, "Lang Mo, are you done with your work?"

"I'm almost busy, what's the matter?" Lang Mo replied, throwing the pig intestines in his hand to Lance to deal with, and took the acacia on the window sill to wash his hands.Get up and go into the kitchen.

"You take out some corn kernels and grind them." Jiang Qing pointed to the corn kernels in the rattan basket, and said: "It has to be ground into corn flour. I plan to use cornmeal to make some corn cakes. Besides corn cakes, you can also Add some wild vegetables to make vegetable pancakes, or add meat to make meat pancakes..."

Listen, squatting by the door to scrape the grass of pig hair, can't help swallowing loudly.

Although I haven't eaten any corn pancakes, vegetable pancakes, or meat pancakes, just listening to them makes me very appetizing.Even her fingers were strong enough, so she had to hurry up and get the pigskin done, and then follow Jiang Qing to make pancakes.

"Okay, how much do you need to grind?" Lang Mo's eyes flashed, and Ma Liu hugged a clean earthen jar, and stepped forward to untie the snakeskin bag in the rattan basket, revealing the golden corn kernels inside.A faint sweetness pierced into the tip of the nose, dropped the pot, and began to fill the pot with corn kernels.

Considering the appetites of several people, Jiang Qing waved her hand and said, "Half pot."

Lang Mo filled most of the pot with a bang, then sat down on the wooden pier in the kitchen, and began to grind corn kernels with both hands.Jiang Qing couldn't learn this skill, and probably only men could do it.

However, they can't let them grind like this every meal, it's too strenuous.Pick a time, find a prescription or use it, and let them help to polish a stone mill, but this stone mill should be made smaller, and the larger one is too heavy to use easily.

Lance washed the large and small intestines several times with salt, put them in a wooden basin, and washed his hands with acacia.Walking into the kitchen, his eyes lit up when he saw Lang Mo grinding corn kernels. He knew this stuff. Jiang Qing told everyone that it could make a lot of delicious things.

"Patriarch, how do you sit here?" Lance asked.

There was no need for Jiang Qing to remind her, she consciously learned from Lang Mo to grind the corn kernels.

Looking at Lance's uneven strength, the ground cornmeal is too rough, so he said: "Grind it finer, it's so thick, you can eat it later."

After scolding, Lance calmed down.

Smiling, Jiang Qing put the bamboo shoots into the earthen jar, and then slowly filled it with cold boiled water.After all this was done, the mouth of the pottery jar was sealed with thick and wide leaves. In order to prevent ventilation, some wet mud was specially made to paste the leaves tightly.

"Tonight, pancakes are the staple food, and I'll cook a few more dishes for you." Jiang Qing pursed her lips and said with a smile: "In our place, meat and vegetables are considered dishes, not rice. Rice is a category of whole grains." .Such as corn and wheat, it can be regarded as among the whole grains."

Hearing Jiang Qing's words, several people in the kitchen couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Everyone knew that tonight was a blessing, but even Jiang Qing licked her mouth with a look of reminiscence.

Immediately, Langmo and Lance grind faster and finer!
"Jiang Qing, I want to eat meatloaf." Lance yelled.

Here, Lang Mo also nodded seriously, with that serious and serious attitude, it looked like he was preparing to go on the field to kill the enemy.

Not to be outdone, Cao interjected, "I want to eat vegetable pancakes."

Jiang Qing nodded, and said with a smile: "I'll try to make some, Lang Mo, you guys grind more cornmeal, and make some more for Aunt Qing and Granny Qian to try..."
