Chapter 8 Hot Pot Brewing
In the room, the aroma is overflowing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On a rough wooden table, a cast-iron pot was steaming, and below it was an iron stove burning red charcoal.
These two items were exchanged by Gongliang for two large pieces of marinated giant turtle meat and iron and iron no, as well as a bone chopping knife, a kitchen knife and a shovel spoon. Thanks to his efforts, his kitchen utensils are slowly being prepared.
"Gollum..."
Smelling the aroma that kept wafting out of the cast iron pot, Xiao Shi swallowed his saliva next to him very angrily, but Xiao Shi's saliva was already flowing all over the ground.
Inside the pot is a pheasant skeleton and marinated giant turtle meat and crab meat, which Gongliang had already cooked on a large stove at first, but now it is boiled in a small pot over low heat. Seeing that the heat was almost there, he put in the thinly sliced pheasant and animal meat, and when the meat was cooked, he put in a large pile of wild vegetables and fresh mushrooms.
In just a moment, a stream of aroma mixed with the smell of meat erupted from the cast iron pot, and even Gongliang himself swallowed his saliva greedily.
He took a piece of meat and fresh mushrooms and wild vegetables and tried it, and when it was cooked, he said to the little stone brother next to him, "You can eat it." ”
Xiao Shi and Xiao Xiaoshi, who couldn't wait for a long time, hurriedly picked up the spoon next to them and scooped the meat in the pot and put it into their stone bowl, until the stone bowl was full. Gongliang was naturally not far behind, and he also filled a bowl full.
He eats and savors at the same time.
The soup made from crab meat, giant turtle and pheasant bones is delicious, and although it doesn't have as many seasonings as before, it doesn't taste bad when it comes to making a thick soup made from natural ekawano. And it's even more delicious, after all, it's an all-natural product.
It's a pity that there is no food.
He is a southerner, he is a rice belly, and every meal is no rice.
But when I got here, I really couldn't help it except meat all day long, so it seemed that I had to find time to find something else to eat.
I guess there's no rice here, but there's definitely starch. The rhizomes of some plants are rich in starch, but these still have to be tested and screened, don't accidentally eat poisonous things, and it will be bad to lose your life.
He thought about it and ate it, and when he had finished the bowl and tried to scoop the meat, he saw that the pot was empty.
The meat is long gone, and the vegetables have been scooped up, not to mention the meat dishes, and even the soup is left.
glanced at the two brothers Xiaoshi and Xiaoxiaoshi next to him, and saw that the two of them had eaten enough, and they were leaning on the chair with their big bellies and lying on their bodies.
Fortunately, he was prepared, put the bowl down, went into the kitchen and brought out the rest of the soup and meat dishes, and dropped a few drops of diluted wild pepper water into it. The meat of the giant turtle that was spicy to death by wild pepper also had a slight spicy taste, but it was almost none, and after dripping wild pepper water, the spicy taste came out. Gongliang tasted it, and it was a little spicy.
Xiao Shi looked at the meat dish he brought out, frowned and said, "Ah Liang, I can't eat it." Xiao Xiaoshi next to him also nodded.
"Then you can rest on the side first, and I'll eat a little more. With that, he scooped up the cooked meat and ate it.
When he raised his head after eating a few bites, he saw that Xiao Shi was fishing for something to eat again, and couldn't help asking, "Aren't you full?"
"I can still pretend a little. Xiao Shi said very honestly.
Gongliang glanced at his swollen belly and rolled his eyes.
After eating and drinking, and the people became lazy, Gongliang straddled his feet on the table and rested on the chair.
Xiao Shi said, "Let's go, let's go pick the fruit." ”
Gongliang is too lazy to move, and when he is full, he has to take a break to be comfortable, and pick some fruit. So, he lied to him: "You must rest for a while when you are full, otherwise your stomach will hurt when you walk." ”
"Oh..."
Xiao Shi scratched the back of his head, feeling as if there was really such a thing, last time or last time, he just moved as soon as he was full, and it hurt his stomach.
So, he obediently sat down in the chair to rest.
Gongliang looked at the room, although it was a primitive and rugged style, it was also good, and it was very artistic. Here, don't worry about food, don't worry about clothing, and the two major events in life can be solved. He is also content. Like before, in order to eat a mixed mouth, I had to code words all day long, just to earn some rations, so as not to starve to death. Now I don't lack anything, but I'm at ease.
He has a casual personality, and so far it is not bad.
have said the days, nothing more than firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, now he has firewood, rice can not be found, but there are animal meat and vegetables, the sauce is barely wild pepper, see if you can find beans or something to get other sauces, vinegar is not, but wait a while to pick the fruit to make wine, if you can't brew wine, at least there is sour vinegar, tea here is not to think about it, insect feces are almost the same.
In the past, there was a taste of insect feces tea in Yunnan and Xiangxi, and you can find it in the future.
In addition to these, the most important thing is sugar, cooking without sugar is not good, but it is estimated that there are no sugary cane and beets here, so you can only choose honey. I don't know where it is, so I'll find a time to find out. It's just that with his young body now, he can't go into the woods, because there are too many beasts and poisonous insects in the forest.
If you can have all the sauces for cooking and delicious food, you can actually live a good life here, which is better than the urban jungle before.
There is no pressure to make money, no trouble with air pollution, no worries about substandard food, no wife being urged to marry and sorrow, think about it, it is really a fairy-like day.
After resting for a while, Xiao Shi couldn't wait to take him and Xiao Xiao Shi to pick fruits together.
There are many fruits in the mountains, some are long, some are short, some are round and some are flat, and it can be said that they have different forms and are strange.
Xiao Shi led them to a small col, and on the wall of a mountain beside it grew a mountain vine, on which bent purple long fruits drooped. Xiao Shi saw that one of the long purple fruits was cracked, so he picked it and ate it. Peeling back the purple skin on the outside, there is a strip of blue flesh inside, which looks weird. Xiao Shi didn't care, and stuffed it into his mouth.
When Xiao Xiaoshi saw it, he suddenly became anxious, "I want it too, I want it too." ”
Xiaoshi picked some purple long fruits and gave them to his younger brother and Gongliang, Gongliang tried it, it was soft and glutinous, sweet, a little banana taste, but it was not very similar, it was very sweet, and there was a core in the middle, that is, seeds.
After picking some long purple fruits, Xiaoshi took them to other places to pick them.
On the way, they also met a few tribal children of about the same age, all of whom came out to pick up food to eat. In a primitive tribe like this, no one cares about children at all, and they love to go wherever they want.
Gongliang planned to make wine from mountain fruits, so he specially carried a bag of animal skins and didn't go back until it was full.
Back at home, he began to prepare for the sake brewing. In this primitive and reckless place, winemaking is very simple, it is nothing more than breaking all the fruit and putting it in a jar, as for whether it can be made into wine, it depends on luck and providence.
He took out the two stone jars he had prepared, and then began to peel the skin of the mountain fruit, crumpling the flesh of the mountain fruit and putting it into the stone jar, and some of them had to use a knife to peel the skin and remove the core and chop it.
In line with the principle of experimentation, he didn't dare to get much, and only made two cans.
Xiao Shi took Xiao Xiao Shi to eat a bunch of fruits next to him and watched him make wine, and when he saw him put the mountain fruits in the jar and seal them, he suddenly said: "It turns out that you are making wine." ”
"You know?" said Gongliang. He thought that no one in this place had ever seen wine, but he didn't expect Xiao Shi to know.
"Of course I do. Uncle Black Rock will make wine, and so will Abba. Xiao Shi said proudly.
Gongliang thought to himself, it seems that he thinks of this place too lowly, and thinks that it is an ignorant primitive society, but it seems that this is not necessarily the case. Otherwise, no one would have struck iron and brewed wine, as well as the sparks and patterns that floated out of the worship of the ancestral god, everything was far beyond his cognition, it was too unbelievable. It is strange to say that this place is primitive, but there are ironware, wine and the like, and that he is not primitive, and that all life is in a primitive state.
couldn't figure it out, so Gongliang simply didn't think about it, and asked Xiao Shi, "Then can you drink the wine they brewed?"
"Abba's can't drink it, Uncle Black Rock's sometimes you can drink it, sometimes you can't. ”
It seems that these people are also half-handed, just like he is making wine now, purely by luck, and not really good at making wine.
Ignoring him, Gongliang dug a pit in the open space in front of the big stone, put a stone jar full of mountain fruits in it, and put the other outside to let the sun shine, and he didn't know if he could ferment it into wine with mountain fruits, so he tried it first.
