"Sister, are you awake?"

Shi came in from the outside with tapioca flour, and when he saw Mu Xiaohua sitting on the bed in a daze, he asked with a smile. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hmm." Mu Xiaohua looked at him and nodded with a smile, and when she fell asleep, she was refreshed, and stretched out to get out of bed, "Has the tapioca flour dried a little?" ”

"Done a lot." The world's eyes were shining, and he said: "The dry starch is white, so fine and smooth." ”

Mu Xiaohua smiled and rubbed her head in the next life and walked out, standing at the mouth of the cave looking at the bright sun outside, squinting her eyes and stretching her waist, walking towards the tapioca starch that was drying, and flipped it over casually.

It's nearly noon, and it's time to make lunch." Mu Xiaohua muttered and shouted towards the cave: "Shi, take a big bowl out." ”

"Oh!" Shi Ying said, immediately put down the bamboo basket, took a big bowl and ran out of the cave quickly, "Sister, what do you want the bowl for?" ”

"Fill it with a little dry starch and make it delicious."

"What's delicious?" When she heard Mu Xiaohua say that she wanted to make delicious food, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she squatted beside Mu Xiaohua and handed her the bowl.

Mu Xiaohua took the bowl, grabbed the top layer of dry starch and put it in the bowl, and said, "Pumpkin dumplings and pumpkin pie." ”

"It's definitely delicious." Shi's face was full of anticipation with a smile.

Mu Xiaohua smiled: "How do you know it's delicious?" ”

Shi proudly said: "Everything my sister makes is delicious. ”

"Hmm." Mu Xiaohua nodded very immodestly: "That's right." ”

After loading the tapioca starch back to the cave, the two of them were busy, the world was responsible for lighting the fire, Mu Xiaohua went to cut some raw pumpkin first, and waited for the world to make the fire and boil pumpkin soup.

Boil the pumpkin soup, then use another small clay pot to boil water, Mu Xiaohua takes out half of the steamed pumpkin and mashes it, sprinkles some dry starch in a clean and dry pot, puts the pumpkin puree into the pot, and then adds tapioca starch in proportion and starts kneading until the starch and pumpkin puree are kneaded into a uniform and flexible ball.

Mu Xiaohua first makes glutinous rice balls, which are very easy to make, just pinch out the required size and knead the rounds.

Because there are only two people, the rice balls are too tired to eat, Mu Xiaohua doesn't make much, there are more than a dozen rice balls the size of a thumb, and the rest are all made into pumpkin pie.

Originally, pumpkin pie had to add some glutinous rice flour to make it more tenacious, but now there is no way to do it.

The pumpkin soup and water are not yet boiled, knead the rice balls and put them, knead the remaining dough again, put it on the cutting board and knead it into long strips, cut it into the required size with a knife, and then knead it into a dough one by one to make a cake.

Pumpkin pie can be fried, fried or steamed, Mu Xiaohua is ready to fry, because she prefers to eat fried pumpkin pie, so she presses the cake thinner, looking at the pumpkin pie pressed out, Mu Xiaohua secretly thought, if only there was shredded coconut.

After the preparation is completed, Mu Xiaohua concentrates on boiling pumpkin soup, the clay pot needs to be heated slowly for a long time, and Mu Xiaohua has to boil the pumpkin thoroughly without sugar to ensure that the pumpkin fragrance and sugar are completely boiled out, so it takes longer.

But for the sake of deliciousness, there is time anyway, so it's okay to wait.

"Sister, how long will this last?" Shi looked at Mu Xiaohua who was stirring the pumpkin soup and couldn't help but ask, "The water in the jar over there has been boiling for a long time, when will you cook the rice balls?" ”

"Don't worry." Mu Xiaohua calmly stirred the pumpkin soup, "You have to boil the pumpkin soup well, and then cook the rice balls in the pot." Add some water to the jar over there. ”

"Okay." The obedient of the world went to scoop up the water.

After adding water to the pot of boiling water several times, the pumpkin soup is finally boiled, filter out the residue and pour the soup into two small bowls, one small bowl and half a bowl of soup, and the rest in a large bowl, and then cook the rice balls.

The rice balls were cooked quickly, and Mu Xiaohua made them small, and the rice balls that sank in the jar quickly floated, Mu Xiaohua took out a small bowl with pumpkin soup and scooped the rice balls into the bowl and handed them to the long-waiting world: "Come, eat, be careful of scalding." ”

Shi carefully took it, the orange pumpkin soup with the clear golden pumpkin dumplings, the heat wafting up is the sweet fragrance of the pumpkin, the color and fragrance are complete.

Shi, who had long been "growling" by the pumpkin in the air, took the bowl and looked at the rice balls in the bowl, his eyes were straight, and he obviously wanted to eat it very much but held the spoon and didn't move.

Mu Xiaohua took another small bowl of pumpkin soup, and asked strangely while serving the rice balls, "Why don't you eat it?" ”

Shi Chongmu Xiaohua smiled and said a little shyly: "Wait for my sister to eat together." ”

Mu Xiaohua listened, and her heart had a feeling of being melted, "We are the warmest in the world." ”

The two ate glutinous rice balls together, then fried pumpkin pie, and after eating these sweet, greasy, Mu Xiaohua roasted the last piece of wild boar.

A wild boar is divided by the whole tribe, and each family does not get much, and the food of each family mainly depends on the small prey that is privately hunted when the group enters the mountain.

Lunch ended like this, after eating and drinking, and after resting for a while, Mu Xiaohua sewed a bag with animal skin, and then the two prepared to go out.

The world said that there was still a small half of the cassava on the hillside of Xishan that had not been dug up, and the cassava at home was gone, so Mu Xiaohua planned to dig some more.

Filled with water with a gourd, carrying a hoe and a sickle, the two of them set out for the western mountain.

"Shi, do you know where there is a valley around here?"

The advantage of primitive society is that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is ownerless, Mu Xiaohua is ready to find a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers to build a house, of course, not too far from the tribe.

Well, it's better to live in groups.

"Let's go down the back hill and go to the right, and when you turn around, there will be one on the mountain behind you."

"Is there one?" Mu Xiaohua asked in surprise, "What kind?" Is it big or not? ”

"Yes." Shi definitely nodded, "Big! There was a big lawn, and there was a small river in front of the lawn, and the water ran down from the hill over there, and there was a waterhole below, and there were fish in the pool, and we all went fishing, but there were snakes in that pool, and we didn't go fishing a few times. ”

Mu Xiaohua nodded, "Is there a lot of water flowing down from the mountain?" ”

"It's not huge." Shi opened his arms, "It's just such a wide column." ”

Mu Xiaohua probably imagined what the valley would look like in her heart, and decided to go and see it when she came back after digging cassava.

While chatting, about an hour later, the two came to the small hill with cassava, and after digging a bundle of cassava, Mu Xiaohua asked the world to continue digging, and entered the miscellaneous forest next to it for convenience.

After walking a long distance inside, Mu Xiaohua determined that no one had entered the space around her, picked eggplants, tomatoes, peppers, old beans, green beans, and then picked the remaining mung beans, filled a full bag, and then got out of the space and returned to find the world.

When Shijian Mu Xiaohua came back, the originally deflated bag became bulging and asked suspiciously: "Sister, what do you have in your bag?" ”

Mu Xiaohua patted her bag with a satisfied smile, "I came across a lot of good things in the mountains, I'll go back and show you." ”

"Okay." Shi smiled and nodded, and didn't ask any more.

The two dug up two bundles of cassava and were about to go home, but they had just walked a few steps down the mountain when they suddenly heard a terrible scream coming from the mountain behind them.
