Chapter 39: Finding the Cabbage

The two quickly walked to the hole where Tong Duoduo put firewood, and moved all the things in the cart into the hole, and the cart was also disassembled and put in, if the cart was placed directly outside, they were afraid that they would be destroyed by passing beasts.

Directly lit a fire, Tong Duoduo suddenly didn't know whether it was good or bad that he had worked tirelessly to pave the floor of the cave used to stack firewood with stones?

If it was a muddy floor, they would move the fire to another place after cooking, and both of them would stay on the ground that had been baked by the fire, and they would be warm for a long time by the residual heat of the fire. But now that the ground is replaced with stone, I don't know if the heat preservation time of the stone will be inferior to that of the mud floor?

She frowned and looked outside, and couldn't help but feel like lamenting again. At this time, it was not yet dark. Ji Ji couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks when he saw her like this. He knew what she was worried about, but he was a little out of sight at this point.

"It's not dark yet, Duoduo, why don't we go out and see if we can find something to eat?" After thinking about it, Ji Ji decided to divert Tong Duoduo's attention, so he proposed.

"Yes, you can."

Tong Duoduo looked at the sky outside, thinking that for so long, he really hadn't visited this neighborhood well, and every time he came and went in a hurry, he nodded.

The two discussed it for a while, and each carried a basket on his back. After sealing the cave, they began to search around it. Soon Ji Ji found the traces of the pheasant, and the two of them directly dug out the pheasant's nest. Three pheasants and a dozen wild eggs were harvested in one go.

After pulling the vines, Ji Ji tied up the pheasants and threw them into his back basket, while Tong Duoduo knotted them with grass and rattan, and carefully strung the eggs one by one and fixed them before putting them in the back basket.

After walking around the neighborhood for a few laps, Tong Duoduo accidentally found a small piece of Chinese cabbage, and she was immediately overjoyed when she saw the cabbage, and her saliva began to flow down.

Tong Duoduo hurriedly beckoned Ji Ji to harvest all the cabbage together, cut all the cabbage with a dagger, and counted fifty-one cabbages in the end. The two took out the pheasants and wild eggs in the back basket and put the cabbage into them separately, and finally used branches and vines to make a simple "prying" to tie the cabbage and pheasant on it, and Ji Ji dragged it back.

On the way back, Tong Duoduo was smiling, and she hadn't been able to eat vegetables for a long time in the cold season. Thinking that there are crabs today, I can cook a big pot of cabbage crab soup in a while. Thinking of the deliciousness of the crab and the sweetness of the cabbage together, her pace couldn't help but speed up a lot.

Ji Ji saw that the smile on her face almost didn't stop, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

The two of them returned to the cave, and the sky was getting dark, Ji Ji put down the basket and carried three pheasants and said directly, "Duoduo, I'll go out and find a place to deal with the pheasants." ”

"What are you going to do?" Tong Duoduo asked as if she remembered something.

"Of course, it's just peeling and removing the hair." Ji Ji looked at Tong Duoduo with some puzzlement, isn't the prey handled like this?

"Are you going to pluck the hair directly? But wouldn't it be easier to defeather a chicken with hot water? Tong Duoduo remembers that his parents did this in the early years, and it was only later that the shops that sold chickens and ducks gradually shed their feathers, which saved a lot of trouble.

"Hot water?" Ji Ji repeated suspiciously, apparently the first time he had heard of it.

"Actually, there is another way to do it without the hassle of plucking. Why don't we just call the flower chicken to eat today. Tong Duoduo looked at the three pheasants, and remembered that he had forgotten to tell Ji Ji that he could use hot water to scald the chicken feathers before plucking the chicken feathers, so he laughed a little and told him the method of calling the flower chicken simply.

Ji Ji quickly understood, and went back to the cave to pick up the dry branches and come out to concoct the same way.

Tong Duoduo saw that he was busy, and he began to regret that he didn't bring dried mushrooms when he came out, or he could have stewed chicken mushroom soup in a stew pot and drank it. Thinking about the fragrant chicken soup, she swallowed again.

That's right, why did you forget that there is still a wild pheasant at home, and when you go back tomorrow, you will stew chicken and mushroom soup to satisfy your cravings.

Tong Duoduo returned to the cave and began to make cabbage and crab soup, this soup has always been one of her favorite dishes, and it is actually very simple to sit up.

She skillfully cleaned the cabbage and crabs with clean water, first dug a spoonful of oil into the shell pot, and then threw in half of the torn cabbage leaves and three crabs that had been broken in half, and went down to stir-fry them together with the crab shells. When the cabbage water was a little softer, she added water and let it slowly boil over the fire.

After boiling this pot of soup, Tong Duoduo looked at the remaining half of the cabbage, and remembered several recipes related to cabbage, what vinegared cabbage, sour and hot cabbage, cabbage stewed tofu, prawns and braised cabbage......

It's a pity that due to the restrictions of seasonings, many of them can't be made, but fortunately, she has wild ginger with her, so she can only make prawns and roasted cabbage. Tong Duoduo started a fire again, built a simple stove and began to stir-fry.

When the sky finally darkened completely, Ji Ji estimated that it should be almost time to dig out the flower chicken and eat it. He quickly made a shallow tray out of grass and rattan and picked up the three mud-wrapped chickens with branches, then extinguished the fire, covered them with soil, and carried them into the hole.

Ji Ji's craft of weaving things was learned from Tong Duoduo. In fact, strictly speaking, he is not a serious learner, because he just watched Tong Duoduo make it up once. After he made up two more, both the craftsmanship and speed were far superior to Tong Duoduo.

After entering the cave, Ji Ji first put down the tray in his hand called Hua Ji, blocked the entrance to the cave, and then walked to Tong Duoduo and sat down. In addition to cabbage and crab soup and braised cabbage with prawns, Tong Duoduo here also stewed egg custard with six wild eggs.

Knocking on the hard clay shell outside the rooster, an extremely attractive fragrance came out, Ji Ji glanced at Tong Duoduo, and his eyes were full of admiration. Tong Duoduo raised his head and replied to him with a smug smile, causing Ji Ji to laugh softly.

The two of them feasted for a while, and they were addicted to eating.

After the meal, the two worked together to boil hot water and wash the dishes and chopsticks, and Tong Duoduo was worried again. She had already figured out that she could spend her evenings by practicing, but she didn't sleep for half a night of practicing more than usual. That way, the overnight time is easy. But what about Ji Ji? What should he do?

For a while, her idea of teaching the "Mixed Yuan Jue" to Ji Ji began to pop up again, but what made her uncertain was, would it be too early to do it now?
