Farming in Primitive Society

Chapter 20 Gossip
Mu Xiaohua looked at Yu and then at Cheng, shook her head, pulled Lie down, silently beckoning him to go.

It was already dark, but they could still be seen outside. The two walked towards the well. Mu Xiaohua carried the intestines, salt and wine, and Lie carried two basins. The basins were the washbasins of the two families. It has been unused for a long time, because I usually go directly to the river to wash it, and the original one of Can's house has also been unused for a long time, and I started to use it again because of Mu Xiaohua's arrival.

The two families add up to only two pots, which is not enough at all!Tomorrow, I don’t need to go to the mountains to hunt Mu Xiaohua. I plan to ask Sandeul to make a few pots. The barrels that Lie made before and then Shi took over have begun to take shape. It is estimated that I can finish it in one day tomorrow.

There are too few bowls to use, and the clay pots for cooking are too small and have to be replaced with larger ones. The bowls and clay pots have to be seen at the gathering the day after tomorrow. I don’t have money, so I don’t know what to exchange for them?
After thinking about it, the two came to the well. They said it was a well, but it was actually a small cave for accumulating groundwater. It was about one meter long and half a meter wide. It was not very deep, and it was crystal clear. The paths that people walk out all the year round lead to the left and right sides.

When they arrived at the well, they started to work. One basin washed the pig intestines and the other washed the pork belly. Mu Xiaohua washed the pork belly first, and Lie scooped water into the basin. The two worked together.

"Xiao Hua, I heard Brother Cheng said today that he wants to marry you?"

"Why do you also ask this question?" Mu Xiaohua asked with a smile.

"Who else asked?" Lie slightly widened his eyes.

Mu Xiaohua casually said: "Your brother!"

Lie curled his lips, "Brother Cheng is a man of his word and will be very persistent in what he decides. Since he said he wants to marry, he must not just talk about it."

"You said that too! It seems that you all know Cheng's character?"

"Everyone knows." Lie sighed annoyedly: "But Sister Aran said that she would definitely marry Brother Cheng. She is more persistent than Brother Cheng, and she does not allow anyone else to rob him. I said I wanted to marry Cheng, and during that time Sister Afang and Brother Cheng got very close, and I heard that she was targeted for a long time."

"There is such a thing?" Mu Xiaohua was a little excited when she heard the gossip, "Then what about the end?"

"In the end, Sister Afang said that she would never marry Brother Cheng, and then she married three brothers, Brother Tai and Brother Xun. Brother Cheng also went out for a trip, and this matter came to an end."

Mu Xiaohua nodded, "How did you target it?"

"I don't know exactly how it was targeted. I just heard that I was targeted. Anyway, Sister Afang looked pretty bad at that time, but Sister Aran didn't admit it, Xiaohua." Lie scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on Looking at Mu Xiaohua in the basin, she said solemnly.

"Brother said that these things have not been verified, don't let me talk nonsense, and ask me not to speak ill of people behind their backs, but if it weren't for this, it wouldn't be spread like this. I'm worried that Sister Aran will target you, especially you Still a foreigner."

Mu Xiaohua nodded while washing the pig's belly. As the saying goes, there are no waves without wind, and Aran probably has something about A Fang.

Lie continued: "Before, it was just sister A Fang who said she wanted to marry Brother Cheng, but Brother Cheng didn't say anything. Sister A Ran was like that. Now Brother Cheng said that she wanted to marry you. I'm really afraid that Sister A Ran will target you."

Mu Xiaohua frowned slightly, thinking about how she met Aran today, she smiled softly, "Don't worry, I've made it very clear that I won't marry Cheng, if she wants to target me... Anyway, walk Look!"

Soldiers come to block the water and cover it with soil!
After washing the pork belly, Zhu Changlie and Mu Xiaohua chatted and walked back.

Back in the cave, Mu Xiaohua is busy blooming. The prickly ash juice has been boiled, and it is very thick. In this way, you can add a lot of cold water to make a cold juice. It is better to use cold juice for cured meat. Add an appropriate amount of cold prickly ash juice Salt and the right amount of wine into a marinade.

Slash a few slashes on both sides of the fish, cut the wild pork into smaller pieces, pat it with a knife to loosen the meat, and slash a few more knives, put the two into a basin, pour the adjusted juice, and marinate evenly.

"Is this enough?" Cheng asked after watching Mu Xiaohua's whole process.

"Yeah." Mu Xiaohua nodded, "It's enough to marinate in this way, and the thickness of the sauce depends on personal taste."

"Then how much is appropriate?"

"It depends on the amount of meat. For the current amount, add half a teaspoon of water to the bottom of the thick juice, and add two spoons of wine. It will be ready after half an hour of marinating."

"Half an hour?" Several people looked at Mu Xiaohua in confusion.

"Uh..." Mu Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, "It's only a quarter of an hour."

After marinating the fish and meat, Mu Xiaohua began to cut the suet from the wild boar. The suet from the wild boar is also a part that the tribe does not want. When she came back, Mu Xiaohua just said that at the time, but she didn't expect that there was still unnecessary suet.

For the people here, the suet keeps losing oil as soon as it is baked, and it tastes so soft and oily that it is unpalatable, so no one wants it anymore, and it is thrown away like internal organs every time.

"What are you using this oil for?" Cheng, who had been walking around Mu Xiaohua, asked again, "This is really bad!"

"It's used to boil oil." Mu Xiaohua replied while cutting.

"Boiled oil?" Cheng looked puzzled.

Mu Xiaohua glanced at him, then at the few people around the fire looking at them with sharp eyes, couldn't help laughing, "Well, boil the oil."

"Why boil oil?"

The meat here is the staple food, and the cooking methods are mainly roasted and boiled, most of them are roasted, and never fried, so I don’t know the function of this oil. Mu Xiaohua patiently explained, "When frying those internal organs."

Cut the suet, boil it in a clay pot, and then Mu Xiaohua will cut the pork liver and noodle sausage. Tonight, she plans to fry a pork liver noodle sausage, and then roast some wild boar and fish. Marinate the rest first, except for tomorrow morning. After the rest is marinated, it is dried slowly with fire.

After cooking the oil, I found a large bowl and put it in a large bowl, left a part of the oil and sprinkled peppercorns into it to fry the peppercorn oil, put some in a small bowl, and finally left some to stir-fry the pork liver sausage.

The air is full of aromas, and everyone stares at the earthenware pot until it comes out of the pot. Will the pig's offal be delicious?Although it smells pretty good, since it smells so good, it should be delicious, right?For the first time, they knew that the wild boar's internal organs could be so fragrant when fried.

After the pork liver powder sausage was fried, Mu Xiaohua continued to grill fish and meat. The millet porridge had been boiled, and the first dish was out of the pan. It was still grilled while eating.

"Come on! Let's have dinner!" Can and Yu served millet porridge for everyone, Mu Xiaohua greeted them, and everyone couldn't wait to eat.

In a world where the taste is simple and rough, the food made by Mu Xiaohua is definitely a rediscovery and enjoyment of the taste. Everyone seems to have opened a new door to the diet when eating pork liver rice sausage for the first time, and Mu Xiaohua has received a lot of praise.

Not to mention grilled fish and meat, marinated first, and then brushed with specially prepared sauce while grilling, it is an absolutely delicious dinner.

It is said that if you want to grab a man's heart, you have to grab his stomach first, so after dinner, Mu Xiaohua grabbed another man's stomach.

Therefore, it also indicates that she may have a little trouble in the future.
