Chapter 20: The Uses of Wine

Before the two of them had finished dealing with the offal, Lie and Chan passed by with the wild boar and the processed hares, pheasants and fish, and refused their help, so Mu Xiaohua gave them the washed pig offal, and asked them to go home first to burn the fire and boil the water.

"That's right." The three of them went home obediently first, and Mu Xiaohua asked Yu beside him: "Yu, is there any wine here?" ”

"Wine?" Yu thought for a while and said, "Probably only Lao Mu's family has it, what do you want to drink?" Drink? ”

"It's not." Mu Xiaohua shook her head, "It's for cooking." ”

The smell of hares and wild boars will be heavier than that of artificial breeding, and when roasting hares before, there was a salt package of instant noodles to effectively suppress the smell, but now there are no seasonings, so they need to be processed by other methods, and these wild meats will taste delicious and fragrant when they are removed, otherwise they will be more difficult to eat than those bred in captivity.

In modern times, cooking wine is used in addition to the smell of meat, but in the primitive society, cooking wine must not be used, so only wine can be used, but wine is only available in Lao Mu's house, so it seems that wine is quite precious here, what can I do?

"Is wine important?" Yu asked.

"Hmm." Mu Xiaohua nodded and began to explain to Yu the use of wine.

Yu nodded with a teachable face, "That's it!" However, the wine is only available to Lao Mu's family, and he still promised to bring it to Lao Mu from outside. ”

"Outside?" Mu Xiaohua asked suspiciously, in fact, she had wanted to ask for a long time, what was the outside of their mouths?

"Outside is the place outside the Moya Forest, and there are many tribes like us outside the Moya Forest."

I see, Mu Xiaohua nodded clearly.

Yu continued: "Cheng said, in some places outside, there are thousands or more people in a tribe, some tribes do not live in caves but on trees, and some live in thatched houses. The wine was bought from a tribal gathering in Rock Forest outside, and I heard that it was made from wild fruits, and a person named Ganlin tribe in Rock Forest was particularly good at making wine. ”

"That's it!" Mu Xiaohua nodded thoughtfully, she felt that the world was slowly developing, more colorful than she imagined.

But no matter how wonderful the outside world is, the problem in front of her at the moment is, wine, wine, she needs wine.

Just when Mu Xiaohua was distressed, Cheng appeared.

Mu Xiaohua and Yu were just finishing the chicken offal and preparing to go home, when they got up, because they squatted for too long, Mu Xiaohua's head was a little dizzy, and her legs and feet were numb for a while, Yu hurriedly supported her and lowered her head and asked, "How is it?" You okay? ”

Her legs and feet were numb, Mu Xiaohua simply leaned on Yu, "Sizzle~ My legs and feet are so numb, let me slow down." ”

It was at such a moment that Cheng appeared, standing on the path and looking at the two people who were intimate by the river below, and then thinking about Mu Xiaohua's avoidance of him, he called the two of them separately with some unpleasant taste.

Mu Xiaohua raised her head with Yu and greeted Cheng.

"Is there something going on?" Yu asked.

"Hmm." Cheng nodded, looked at Yu's hand holding Mu Xiaohua's wrist, and then looked at Mu Xiaohua and said, "Xiaohua, I want to ask you, how to use peppercorns?" ”

Mu Xiaohua stomped her feet, feeling much better, and asked as she walked down the road, "What are you going to do, fish?" ”

Cheng watched Mu Xiaohua and Yu walk up to the front without answering and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

There is no wok, no steamer, only peppercorns for seasoning, Mu Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "Bake it!" ”

"There's nothing else to do but bake, right?" Cheng was a little speechless.

"Yes!" Mu Xiaohua said as a matter of course: "You can also cook it." ”

"Is it good to cook?" Cheng looked skeptical.

"It depends on how it's cooked." Take boiled fish as an example, it's delicious, Mu Xiaohua couldn't help licking her lower lip thinking about the taste, a little hungry.

"Let's not talk about cooking, if you roast, how do you use peppercorns?"

"...... peppercorns" Mu Xiaohua said and suddenly stopped, her eyes rolled and she smiled and said, "Do you have wine at home?" ”

Cheng looked inexplicable, why did he suddenly pull the wine? Nodding, "Yes." ”

Mu Xiaohua pursed her lips and smiled and bent her eyebrows, "I'll tell you how to use peppercorns, how about you give me a little wine?" ”

"What do you want wine for?" Cheng twisted his eyebrows, "That thing is bitter and spicy, and it doesn't taste good at all." ”

"I don't drink it, it's used to marinate meat and fish, not too much, just a little."

"Meat and fish with wine?" Cheng looked incomprehensible.

Mu Xiaohua had no choice but to explain to him the use of wine, and after listening to it, he was taught as he had been before Yu, "It turns out that this can get rid of the smell or fishy smell in the meat!" ”

"Hmm." Mu Xiaohua nodded, "Add pepper to boil, use pepper juice with salt and wine to marinate the fish, one thing to pay attention to is that you have to make a few cuts on both sides of the fish." ”

"Why do you want to make a few cuts?"

"It's convenient to taste, but the amount of pepper should be well controlled, too little is not enough taste, too much is too heavy and not delicious."

"Boil peppercorns with that juice, what about peppercorns?"

"Don't want peppercorns, peppercorns are numb, don't eat them directly."

"Hmm." Cheng Ran nodded: "I know, I'll go back and get you some wine, and then see how you do it." ”

"Okay."

Cheng left, Mu Xiaohua and Yu went home, Lie they had already boiled the fire and boiled the water, Mu Xiaohua first boiled some pepper juice, looked at the fish, meat and internal organs piled up on the table and said to Lie: "Go and bring your pot!" ”

"What do you want a basin for?" Lie asked.

"Take the marinated meat."

"Okay." Lie Ying quickly walked out of the cave.

Mu Xiaohua used another clay pot to cook millet porridge, and she was very busy.

It didn't take long for Lie to come back with Cheng, and the smell of peppercorns in the cave made Cheng couldn't help but twist his eyebrows, "Xiaohua, is this peppercorn flavor delicious in fish and meat?" ”

From the previous dislike of the smell on Ah Mei's hands, Mu Xiaohua knew that he didn't like the taste of peppercorns, "Actually, this depends on personal taste, if you don't like this taste, then you won't feel delicious." ”

"Then I'll try what you made first and see if it tastes good."

"Brother Cheng, you won't just find an excuse to eat, right?" Chan said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Tsk!" Cheng Heng glanced at him, and said with a smile: "I say that I can't say it, what's the matter with you?" ”

Everyone laughed, and Cheng handed Mu Xiaohua a vertical pottery the size of a mineral water bottle, "I brought several cans of this wine, and I'll give you one." ”

"Thank you." Mu Xiaohua took it, but she didn't expect it to be quite generous.

The most needed wine is available, and the pepper juice has to be boiled for a while, Mu Xiaohua decided to wash the pig intestines and pork belly first, the pig intestines and pork belly can't get rid of the smell with water, and they have to wash it with salt and wine, so that the smell can be completely washed off.

There is a well a few steps to the right of the Can family, Mu Xiaohua asked Lie to go with her with the pot, and the others watched the fire at home. Cheng wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Yu: "Cheng doesn't have to go, just let them go." ”

"I want to see how the little flowers are washed."

"What's so nice about how to wash it?"

Cheng looked at Yu inquiringly, Yu looked back at him, and the eyes of the two met in the air, as if a string of electricity was crackling.
