Although the process of making jerky is long and painful, the good thing is that the results are gratifying!
I don't know if it's because the meat quality of these giant beasts is very good.Lin Xi felt that the jerky she baked this time was the most delicious jerky she had ever tasted!
In particular, the jerky with rolling fruit grass in the seasoning is fragrant, spicy, and chewy.The taste is oily and won't dry out until you can't chew it, and you can even eat it as a snack!
Even the black dust, which usually looks stable, eats a lot while roasting during the roasting process.In the end, it was directly caused by the fact that the two of them did not cook dinner because they ate too much jerky and were too full at night.Because of making jerky, the two of them slept late the night before, which also caused the two of them to get up the next day, it was already the afternoon of the next day!
When Lin Xi woke up, his first feeling was that the air was much colder.She squeezed in the direction of the black dust.Probably because it is a feline, the body temperature on the orc has always been much higher than that of Lin Xi.Lin Xi couldn't help but put his cold feet on the hot thighs of the black dust, the sleeping orc's muscles tensed instantly, and an uncomfortable sound sounded in his throat: "Woo" Lin Xi couldn't help but snicker.In the next moment, she felt the orc in front of her take the initiative to lean over, and immediately after, she was hugged into this warm embrace, which was already extremely familiar.There was still residual warmth on the kang under them, Lin Xi and Wuchen were snuggling under the warm animal skin blanket, their brains were gradually sobering up, but no one wanted to get up.After a long while, in the dark cave, Lin Xi's soft voice suddenly sounded: "Wuchen, is it raining?"
”After Lin Xi asked, Wuchen pricked up his ears and listened for a while before replying: "Well, the rain is very heavy, it's cold outside today, Xixi wants to wear that thick animal skin clothes." ”Wuchen knew that Lin Xi had already made several thick clothes for herself and him, which were reserved for the winter.After listening to Wuchen's answer, Lin Xi also listened with her ears pricked up for a while, but unfortunately the wooden planks of the window sash were very thick, and she couldn't hear anything.So she lay down for a while, and then she got up and dressed.Since I haven't started making cabinets yet, the clothes, blankets, and animal skins at home are all folded by Lin Xi and placed in the innermost part of the fire kang.She pulled out a set of animal skin clothes from the pile of clothes, which had just been made some time ago.She didn't look like a skirt in this outfit, but made it look like a round-neck top and suspender trousers.Because he couldn't grasp the cutting style of the clothes, when he was doing it, Lin Xi simply made all the clothes into loose ones.Then the cuffs of the clothes and the trouser legs of the pants were specially tightened, so that when it was cold, there was no need to worry about the cold wind pouring in from the wide cuffs and trouser legs.After putting on his clothes, Lin Xi took another pair of shoes and a vest vest for Wuchen, which he also made in advance.It's cooled, and although the orcs are not afraid of the cold, it doesn't mean that it won't be cold!
Lin Xi put his clothes next to Wuchen's pillow, he slept too late, Wuchen was still a little sleepy, Lin Xi couldn't help but touch the furry, fleshy little ears on the top of the orc's head, preventing Wuchen from getting up."
You don't have to go out today, I'll just make my own dinner, you can continue to sleep, I'll see how heavy the rain is outside!"
Hearing Lin Xi's words, Wuchen hesitated for a moment before he relaxed and buried his face in the quilt again.Lin Xi had long found out that it might be due to the nature of felines, and Wuchen actually liked to sleep.Usually when he is fine, he stays by Lin Xi's side, and he always stays and sleeps unconsciously.If he goes to bed a little later one day, he'll be in bed the next day!
Even if he remembered to get up and make breakfast for Lin Xi, after eating breakfast, as long as he found an opportunity, he would lie back on the kang and sleep lightly for a while.To appease Wuchen, Lin Xi put on his shoes, walked to the window first, and put up a small crack in the window.The light from outside wasn't bright, but it was no longer dark in the cave.Then she walked to the door and opened it.In an instant, a cool breeze with moisture came to my face!
Outside the cave, the rain was like a curtain, and the gray sky seemed to have been poked out of the hole, and the rain rushed down to the ground.The forest in the distance was blocked behind the rain curtain, and it was already a little difficult to see.Even the shacks at the bottom of the hillside are small and fragile.Another cold wind blew, and Lin Xi shrunk his shoulders and closed the door.Back in the cave, she walked to the fireplace and lit the fireplace near the ondol.Because he had known that it was going to rain, Lin Xi had prepared a lot of processed firewood in the cave early, so that there would be no firewood to burn when it rained.When the fireplace rises, the red glow illuminates a large area of the cave.Lin Xi filled a husk with water, took it to the fireplace, put it on the edge of the fireplace, and let the fire slowly heat the water.The cup for drinking water was dug out from the leg bones of a giant beast.The bitter leaves picked back two days ago have been fried by Lin Xi into a large pot of bitter leaf tea.Lin Xi took a little out, put it in the bone cup, and waited until the water boiled for a while to soak in water to drink.Then she walked to the side of the stove and prepared to make dinner.There is also a piece of unprocessed giant beast meat left at home yesterday, which was originally reserved for the evening and this morning, but it turned out that there was no cooking last night and this morning.Lin Xi took out these two pieces of meat, thought about it, and decided to make a stew today.She lit the fire under the stove first, then filled the pot with water and blanched the flesh.After frying the water, put the meat out for later use, pour out the water, and then add oil to the pot.The oil used for stir-frying is still the same as when she first arrived, and it has bottomed out now.Lin Xi thought that when Bai Nu sent the giant beast over, then he would choose two of the newly brought giant beasts to boil oil.After the oil in the pot was hot, Lin Xi threw the giant beast meat directly into the pot and began to stir-fry until the skin was golden in color, and then put five cabbage leaves in it.Wuchen couldn't eat spicy, so she didn't put it more.Then add sour fruits that taste similar to black plum in it, Lin Xi remembers that in modern times, there was a time when black plum pork ribs were very popular on the Internet, and she always wanted to try it, but unfortunately she was too lazy to do it at that time, but she didn't expect to do it now!
Once the ingredients are added, cover the pot and start simmering.Lin Xi found a piece of wood, put it under his buttocks as a cushion, sat in front of the stove, and while adding fire, he cut a small pot of purple peel fruit.These purple peel fruits, when the meat is almost stewed, can be put in again.The flames in the stove were so strong that the faces of the roasters began to burn.Lin Xi got up and opened the window above the side of the stove to let the air flow in.This window is symmetrical with the one on the side of the firekang, and it was dug by Lin Xi after the stove was built.After the window was opened, the moisture of the rain outside the cave gradually spread in, spreading on the body, inexplicably comfortable.At this moment, there was a little movement in the direction of the ondol.Lin Xi turned his head to look over, and saw that Wuchen had just sat up from the bed, with a pair of bright eyes, looking at her!
Wuchen, who was satisfied with sleep, immediately returned to his full vitality.He walked over, stretched his waist as he walked, and then immediately took over the work of burning the fire in Linxi.The enticing aroma gradually wafted out of the pot, and the black dust with a keen sense of smell squatted behind the stove, and couldn't help but glance at the pot with the lid on it every few seconds.Finally, Lin Xi felt that the time was almost up, and picked up the lid of the pot.Immediately, there was a strong aroma of stew!
Lin Xi even felt that the smell of this pot of food at this time was no different from the aromas he had smelled in the restaurant before!
But at this time, he couldn't eat it, and when the white steam in the pot dissipated, Lin Xi put the pot of peeled purple peel fruit into the pot, poured the washed salty stone into it, and stirred it a few times with a shovel.At this time, she was surprised to find that the beast meat in the pot was actually slightly red.This sour fruit actually has the function of coloring vegetables?
Lin Xi was pleasantly surprised!
Although it doesn't matter whether the dish has color or not, as long as it is delicious, I have to admit that this stew with color looks more appetizing than the stew with white flowers and oil stars!
Soon, almost ten minutes passed, and Lin Xi finally lifted the lid again.Only this time, a smell of food with pot gas that was even stronger than just now instantly filled the entire cave.The stew has been juiced, and the purple peel fruit inside is also very soft and rotten, and when you touch it with a shovel, it melts like a potato.A pot of stewed meat, Lin Xi gave himself a medium amount of husk, and the rest was put into a large husk, handed it to Wuchen, and planned to eat it directly with the pot!
The place to eat was temporarily arranged by Lin Xi in the place directly opposite the entrance of the cave.The table is a simple wooden table made of stone bricks left over from the stove and a row of tied wooden rows.Because the stone bricks were built very low, he could only sit on the ground to eat, and Lin Xi also made two thick mats, one for himself and Wuchen, under the buttocks.At this time, the sky outside was already a little darker than when Lin Xi first got up.Looks like it should be late afternoon by now!
The rain was still falling, but the fires in the two fireplaces in the cave were bright, and the orange light made the cave warm.Lin Xi and Wuchen did not speak at this time.The food in your hand is delicious!
Maybe there is also the reason for sleeping too long and being too hungry, in short, tonight's meal, the two of them are exceptionally satisfied.The purple peel fruit is stewed very badly and rotten, and there is a slight sweetness of chestnuts in the softness, which is a completely different feeling from roasting and eating.The stewed giant beast meat is very tender, and even has been deboned, and the sweet and sour taste with a fruity aroma is completely immersed in the meat, and when you bite into it, there is a faint spicy taste that hooks the lips and tongue, stimulating the appetite of the person.Because this is a staple food, Lin Xi doesn't put much salty stone when he puts it, so he doesn't feel that he eats too much and feels very salty.Lin Xi felt that this was simply the most successful meal she had ever cooked since she came here.After eating a bowl of beast meat, she felt that it was not enough, so she went to the big basin of Wuchen and sandwiched a few pieces.And Wuchen seemed to be very satisfied with this meal.He is now very proficient in using chopsticks, and a piece of animal meat is precisely picked up by him.He shook the long tail behind him and looked at Lin Xi with a eager expression: "Xixi, today's stew is delicious, you will teach me to make it tomorrow!"
”When Lin Xi heard it, of course he had no objection, and nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
