The Abandoned Woman of Space

Chapter 16 Making Guanyin Tofu

Yun Mo felt a little sad.

A few wild sour soup stalks were regarded by Xiao Douding as a delicacy in the world, and she was so happy to eat it that she wanted to share it with her.

"Mother, eat, eat, it's really delicious." Seeing that Yunmo didn't move, Yun Xiaotong supported her arm, tiptoed higher, and directly stuffed the sour soup stick into her mouth side.

"Okay, mother will eat too." Yunmo felt the coolness around her lips, and could already smell the sweet and sour soup stick, smiled, opened her mouth and took a small bite, "Well, it's really delicious."

Going down the mountain is easier than going up the mountain. The two of them talked and laughed all the way down the mountain, and they didn't feel tired, so they went down to the foot of the mountain without knowing it.

When they arrived at the place where the mink was hidden, Yunmo told Yun Xiaotong to stand still on the side of the road, look at the bamboo basket, then walk to the grass cage where the mink was hidden, stretched out his hand to pull out the dense grass cage, lifted the mink out, and put it on. Put it into the bamboo basket, and pick a few leaves to cover it.

This mink must have been hunted and wounded by a hunter in the village, An Jia. She picked it up halfway, so it's better to cover it up a bit. It's too ostentatious, and it's easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

Picking up the mink, the couple continued to drive back. When they passed the Wufeng Weir, Yunmo took a closer look at the water surface. Such a good weir pond is only used to irrigate the farmland, which is really a waste of resources.

At noon, the sun was shining and it was scorching hot. At this time, the villagers who had been working in the fields had already returned home with their hoes, ready to have lunch.

After bypassing the Wufeng Weir, Yunmo led Yun Xiaotong back along the path in the village. He didn't meet anyone on the road, and returned to the broken hut without making a sound.

Opening the fence and entering the small courtyard, Yunmo took the bamboo basket and turned into the kitchen, then moved a small stool and handed it to Yun Xiaotong, "Tongtong, you are tired, you should sit down and rest for a while, mother." Cook now."

Yun Xiaotong stared at the small bench, gritted his teeth and pulled himself together, his small face showed determination, he shook his head and said, "Mother, I'm not tired, I'll go to the donkey shed to bring some firewood."

Yun Mo was picking up a kitchen knife from behind the stove, and when she turned around, Yun Xiaotong had already run away. Seeing Xiao Douding running so fast, she said nothing, shook her head slightly, and picked up the rusty and chipped kitchen knife , ready to pack the mink out, so it's time to stew in the pot.

She took the mink out of the bamboo basket, searched around, found a clean wooden board at home, lifted the things together to an open place, and went back to the kitchen to scoop up a basin of clean water.

In her previous life, she ran a restaurant business, and would often cook by herself, study some new dishes, kill fish, butcher chickens and other trivial matters, which naturally would not trouble her. At this time, picking up a dead mink is even easier.

The prepared clear water was placed at his feet. Yunmo picked up the mink, put it on the wooden board, picked up the kitchen knife, and used the blade to cut a circle around each of the mink's four hooves, lifted the two hind hooves, and Pick up the fur one by one, and then use the blade to cut the other two slits on the inside of the mink's hind legs. Pull the blade down along the slits, and cut the fur on the mink's abdomen until it reaches the neck below.

After peeling and cutting, Yunmo put down the kitchen knife, picked up the mink's hind hoof with both hands, and carefully tore along the fur just peeled off. With a few clicks, a complete mink was easily peeled The skin reveals the fat and tender meat inside.

Seeing the hot sun shining brightly in the fenced courtyard, Yunmo got up and walked to the stove, bent down and picked up two thin wooden sticks, then used the wooden sticks to prop up the mink skins that had just been cut off, and hung them on the drying on the bamboo fence by the yard.

You can exchange some money for dried mink fur.

After finishing the mink fur, Yunmo squatted back to the water basin, picked up the kitchen knife again, pressed the skinned mink on the wooden board, cut off the mink's four hoofs and claws, and threw the head aside, then Then cut open the mink's stomach with the blade, take out the viscera inside, and finally wash the mink meat with clean water and put it into the wooden basin.

The viscera, hooves, and head of the mink couldn't be eaten, so Yunmo wrapped all these things in tung catalpa leaves, and threw them outside the bamboo fence.

She is not worried that the internal organs of the mink will stink and attract mosquitoes.

There are a few big yellow dogs in Yangque Village. The native dogs have sharp noses, and they must be able to smell fishy smells, so they came here.

After tidying up the minks, Yunmo washed the rotten maidservant leaves, wild pepper and wild pepper.

"Mother, have you finished killing the mink?"

Yun Xiaotong walked into the kitchen sweating profusely with a small bundle of firewood in his arms.

The little guy saw the fat and tender mink meat on the cutting board, and his stomach growled. He was so hungry that he couldn't help swallowing.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Yunmo quickly put down what she was doing, stepped forward, and took the firewood from him.

"Well, it's done, we can eat the stew right away."

After listening to Yunmo's words, Xiao Douding swallowed again at the fat and tender mink meat on the cutting board, the stew must be delicious.

Guji Guji - I couldn't help but my stomach growled even more joyously.

"Mother, go and cook the meat, I'll light the fire." Yun Xiaotong followed Yunmo to the stove, reached out and touched his belly, smiling a little shyly.

Yunmo put the firewood away, grabbed a handful of hay and stuffed it into the stove, ready to light it with flint.

While she was doing things, she said softly to Yun Xiaotong: "Tongtong, you should rest for a while, mother will light the fire by herself, you have to listen to mother's words, after resting, you can help mother with things, you know?" At the end, The tone is a little serious.

Xiaodouding must have been exhausted after climbing the mountain all morning.

"Mother, don't be angry, I am obedient." Yun Xiaotong walked to the small stool and sat down.

The kindling in the stove was ignited, and flames spewed out. The cloud retreated a little, split a few dry firewood sticks, put them into the stove, and burned them together. Yes, she wiped off her sweat, got up and turned back to the stove, added a few ladles of water to the big iron pot, then covered the pot and brought it to a boil.

The water was boiling in the pot, so Yunmo picked up the kitchen knife and chopped the mink meat on the cutting board into small pieces, ready to put it into the pot later.

As soon as the fire was finished, white gas rose from the cracks in the lid of the pot. Clouds lifted the lid, and the water in the pot was already boiling. When the heat dissipated, she threw the cleaned rotten leaves into the boiling pot. of water, and stir constantly with a spatula.

Yun Xiaotong rested for a while. Seeing that Yun Mo was too busy to light the fire, he moved a small stool to the stove, chopped a few thin wooden sticks, and stuffed them into the stove.

"Mother, are you making tofu?" The fire in the stove was rekindled, and the light of the fire flickered on his thin yellow face.

Niangqin said that the leaves are used to make tofu.

While stirring the spatula, Yunmo replied softly, "Yes, mother is making Guanyin tofu."
