Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 131 Dumbfounded

"What's going on?" Mu Xiaohua frowned slightly, but she tilted her head slightly and thought about it, but she couldn't think of a reason, and then put it behind her.

After removing the head and deveining the prawns, it was only half processed, and when he went back to put things away, Yu took a cutting board, a kitchen knife and an unused bristle toothbrush.

Chopping boards and kitchen knives are used to handle fish, bowls are used to hold fish viscera, toothbrushes are used to brush crabs, the corners of crab shells must be cleaned, and crab viscera, including crab stomach, crab heart, crab intestines, crab The gills have to be cleaned.

Crabs are troublesome to clean, but in order to eat better, all these must be done well, especially if the crabs are caught from the river and have not been soaked in clean water, they must be cleaned well.

Yu broke the fish, cleaned it, and handled the crab with Mu Xiaohua. He was accidentally pricked by the crab's foot and saw the scarlet blood dripping from Yu's finger. It was obviously just a drop of blood, but Mu Xiaohua felt a little dizzy. Heart shrank slightly, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Yu shook his head indifferently, reached out to wash in the river, and continued to clean the crabs.

In the evening, Mu Xiaohua cooked spicy shrimp and spicy crab that made her crave. She steamed one fish and used the other fish to make soup. good play.

The amount of shrimp is very small, but the crab is a big pot, because it is cooked with ingredients that have never been seen before. When Mu Xiaohua was making these two dishes, Can and the others gathered around the pot to watch, watching them turn red after being put into the pot The prawns and crabs all looked strange, and they were even more amazed when the dinner started.

Because the shrimp and crab are grown in a wild and pollution-free environment, they are very fresh, and coupled with Mu Xiaohua's superb cooking techniques, even if the seasoning is not complete, the taste is very good.

This is also Mu Xiaohua's first time cooking steamed fish. After eating strong shrimp and crab with light steamed fish, and some delicious fish soup, it is a perfect seafood feast.

It was the first time I ate shrimp and crabs. Chan and the others were very fresh, especially the crabs, which made them a little confused about what to say. Be the first to eat.

After dinner, under Mu Xiaohua's instruction, Chan and Lie smashed all the glutinous rice. Anyway, if there are still seeds, let's eat them first!

Tomorrow they will go to the mountains to hunt with the tribesmen, spend the night in the mountains, and pack some steamed glutinous rice for them.

According to Mu Xiaohua’s hand feeling, the glutinous rice is about eight catties, and the shell is about seven catties. The glutinous rice has a strong sense of satiety and lasts a long time, and it can remain soft and glutinous for a long time. It is most suitable for packing up the mountain.

It was the first time Mu Xiaohua saw rice being pestled with a stone pestle in real life, and she was very surprised to see it replaced by a stone pestle. After watching the pestle for a while, Mu Xiaohua said to Yu who was beside her: "Let's go and cut some bamboo. !"

The last time Can and Lie came back from cutting bamboo with Shi Shangshan, there was still one unbroken bamboo.

"What do you do cutting bamboo?" Yutong, who was standing on the other side of Mu Xiaohua, asked doubtfully.

"Used to steam glutinous rice."

Because there is no steamer, Mu Xiaohua can only make glutinous rice in bamboo tubes. The bamboo is as thick as an adult's arm, which is suitable for making bamboo tube rice.

Yu cut five pieces of bamboo and split them at a ratio of four to one. Mu Xiaohua took them into a pot, boiled them, washed them, waited for the glutinous rice to be pestled, and soaked half of them. After everything was ready, she washed and went to bed. .

At dawn the next day, Mu Xiaohua was woken up by Can. After the two washed up, Can went to light the fire, and Mu Xiaohua took the last piece of cured wild pork to the well to wash. .

"Xiaohua, do you want to help?" Yu asked.

"Help me cut the meat! Cut it into thin slices." Mu Xiaohua was not polite to him, it would be faster if someone helped, as it would take a long time to steam sticky rice in bamboo tubes.

Mu Xiaohua put the soaked glutinous rice into the deep half of the bamboo tube, spread a layer of glutinous rice, a layer of meat slices, another layer of glutinous rice, and a layer of meat slices on the top. After the five bamboo tubes are installed, cover the corresponding Bamboo pieces, tied firmly with palm leaves, because there is no need to put water in the bamboo tube of soaked glutinous rice.Put a pot of water in the frying pan, use bamboo slices horizontally in the pot as a steaming rack, put a bamboo tube, cover the pot, and steam over high heat.

After adding water three times and steaming on high heat for about half an hour, the glutinous rice in the bamboo tube is ready to come out of the pot. The air is filled with a delicate fragrance. After Mu Xiaohua opened the bamboo tube, the fragrance is even stronger.

Bamboo has been boiled without the raw smell of fresh bamboo, only the unique fragrance of bamboo, mixed with the sweet fragrance of glutinous rice and the salty fragrance of bacon, the fragrance is rich and refreshing, and the taste is amazing.

Modern people like to eat firewood rice, and bamboo rice steamed with firewood tastes better, not only firewood rice is delicious, but also dishes fried with firewood taste better.

It was the first time I ate glutinous rice, it was glutinous rice produced in the space. Can and the others all showed expressions that were so delicious that they burst. However, glutinous rice is easy to get greasy, and it will swell after eating. Just eat until you are seventy percent full.

And Mu Xiaohua only eats until she is half full, because people with bad stomachs should not eat glutinous rice. It was so good, she actually ate more.

Of the five bamboo tubes, the six people ate three, and kept the remaining two for Yu, Can, and Lie to take with them when they went hunting in the mountains.

From last night to this morning, the five of them have opened the door to a new world of taste, and everyone is in a very good mood.

After breakfast, the three of Yu followed the tribe's hunting team into the mountain, but Yutong didn't follow. He just waited for the net to be ready before taking them up the mountain to teach them how to catch live prey.

After the hunting team set off, Mu Xiaohua took Yutong to the field, but when she got there, Mu Xiaohua was dumbfounded when she saw the situation in the field.

Many of the bean sprouts that should have been standing upright were lying on the ground, and the originally neat place was a mess.

Mu Xiaohua wanted to cry, "Why?"

"It should have been digged by gophers." Yutong went to the field and checked it.

Mu Xiaohua, who was hit hard, went to the ground, looked at the fallen bean sprouts, looked at the traces of planing, and was very sad. Some bean sprouts had been broken, and some had been dug up by the roots. The degree of dryness and wetness of the soil should have been planed last night. Mu Xiaohua suppressed the discomfort and replanted the bean sprouts that could be saved.

Tidy up the messy vegetable field, but fortunately there are still one-third of the bean sprouts that are good. This kind of situation will never happen in the vegetable field. She simply forgot to take precautions. She ignored that the current environment is different from before. Although this land is not far from the tribe, no one has ever planted anything here. The wild small There are so many animals that it is inevitable that they will be destroyed.

But in the case of gophers, how to prevent them?
