Chapter 22: Harvest Season (2)

In the past two months, Gu Xi came back and was pleasantly surprised to find that the clucking bird Peng had added a new life! If it weren't for Uncle Song reminding him, he hadn't gone to see the situation of the giggling birds, this time the eggs were finally hatched successfully, and there were quite a few, Gu Xi counted not more than ten, six males, and four females, this would have grown up a lot, Song Xuan also helped him separate a fence and separated the male and female, it seems that he can eat it if he grows longer, and when the time comes, he will not be able to finish eating it and make it into salty goods, and eat it in the cold winter, these days are really thanks to Uncle Song helping to take care of it.

In addition, Gu Xi also missed the best season to eat peaches, although there will be still there, but most of them are ripe, the crunchy ones must be gone, but the ripe ones can still be eaten, the people in the tribe can't finish eating, they can only watch the ripe ones rot, or attract animals to eat them, the next day Gu Xi came back, Tong Qi sent more than a dozen big peaches! It's all a little soft, it was picked by Tong Qi in the morning, and he just went to pick some fresh vegetables for his mother and father.

Gu Xi squatted at the door and ate peaches, and the juice dripped directly to the ground in one bite, these peaches were large, full of moisture, very sweet, and the taste of peaches was very strong, Gu Xi had never eaten such a good peach, and soon ate one, but he was also half full, it was too big, looking at the more than ten left, it was really impossible to eat, I heard Tong Qi say, there are still a lot of peaches in the mountains, and every household in the tribe still has peaches, and they can't finish eating.

Gu Xi thought of the honey he had brought from the bear clan! He can't finish eating such a big jar, he doesn't have the habit of eating directly, he usually scoops a spoonful of honey water and drinks it, or brushes a little when he barbecues meat, and is planning to give it to the people in the tribe, this time there are endless peaches, which just come in handy, this honey is very sweet, just enough to be used as sugar, Gu Xi plans to make peach jam.

One summer, a friend sent a large box of peaches to him, he sent it back and forth, and there was a lot left, it was a pity to lose it, and he couldn't let it go if he didn't eat it, so he went to the Internet and asked how to deal with it, and saw that many people built yƬ to make jam, so I went to search for recipes, and the method was not difficult, I saw that it would, if there was a refrigerator, it could be stored for a long time, but there was no here, but it was not so hot here, and things could be put in a cool place for a lot of time, which was better than peaches rotting on the tree.

So Gu Xi decided to try honey by himself first, after all, the original recipe said sugar, there is only honey here, and the more delicious taste should be lemonade or some white vinegar, there is no lemon here, let alone vinegar, so I can only try honey alone.

Of course, how can this kind of thing be without Song Xuan, Gu Xi directly called him to come over and do it together, Song Xuan came as soon as he heard that it was a new food, in fact, Gu Xi has not mastered the heat until now, and the jam will be simmered slowly over low heat, so he can only ask Song Xuan for help.

Gu Xi peeled the remaining peaches and cut them into small pieces, mixed them with a little honey water, and put them to wait for the honey to taste the swathing, and waited for the honey to taste the sheath, and the scarcity and the stinging were sloppy

"It must be delicious to make" Song Xuan smelled the sweet taste, usually he likes to eat sweets, in addition to sweet fruits, every time he exchanges some honey with the bear clan and comes back, his two brothers are also inherited He likes to eat sweets.

"I'm not sure, I'll try it first, if I can, I'll pick all the peaches on the mountain and teach them to the people in the tribe to make them, it's a pity that it's rotten." Gu Xi is thinking about taking more bamboo to find Uncle Jiang, the lid made by Uncle Jiang has good sealing, this jam must be sealed well, otherwise it will break quickly.

Song Xuan simply let Gu Xi go first, this pot of peaches boiled until it was sticky and it would take a while, so Gu Xi went with a bunch of bits and pieces of bamboo, Uncle Jiang was sitting in the yard to help Sanjie, who had just conceived a mountain cub, make a bamboo mat, it was nothing to sleep on a stone bed, but Gu Xi said that sleeping directly on a stone was not good for the body, there was originally a mat, but blamed the weather for sleeping and it was too hot, everyone in the tribe knew that Gu Xi's family had a bamboo mat, but not many people did it, because many people felt that it was not necessary, and only thought that Gu Xi was a sub-beast, The body is thin and unaccustomed, Wei Shan couldn't sit still after listening to Gu Xi's words, so he hurriedly went up the mountain and cut a bunch of bamboo and sent it to Uncle Jiang, urging him to make a bamboo mat for his daughter-in-law.

Uncle Jiang's carpentry skills are getting better and better, especially to make a sealed lid is even easier, since Gu Xi gave Huo Bai the takeaway bamboo cup, the tribe is now a family, the orcs must be one person, Uncle Jiang listened to Gu Xi's request, and directly asked Gu Xi to come over to get it before dinner, Gu Xi asked Uncle Jiang to go to his house to eat together at night, just to taste whether the jam is delicious.

Gu Xi went home, the jam was still boiling, it seemed that it would take a while, so he went to the pantry and took some ingredients out, ready to deal with them first, just put them in the pot for dinner, Gu Xi's kitchen has two stone pots, one pot will boil this jam, and the other pot will already be boiled with big bones.

"Xiaoxi, haven't you eaten your salted eggs yet? If you don't eat it, it will be salty," Song Xuan reminded.

Gu Xi then remembered that there were still a lot of salted eggs in the tank, so he quickly took a few out and washed them, steamed a piece of salted meat at night and cut it into slices and put it on a plate, made a small green vegetable egg soup, and when Huo Bai came back and roasted the meat, it was almost the same, Gu Xi also planned to make a boiled meat slice according to the practice of making sauerkraut fish, and it was better to hand over the knife work or something to Huo Bai, this time the boiled meat slices would not put pickles, and directly put some different kinds of green leafy vegetables.

When the ingredients were almost ready, the jam on Song Xuan's side was ready, the peach flesh was cooked until transparent, and the soup was thick, Gu Xi scooped a small spoonful and tasted it, it was really very sweet, and full of the fruity aroma of peaches, it was really very good! It would be even more perfect if there was a little bread brush in the morning.

"Wait for the evening Uncle Jiang Song to seal the cup and come over, just let it cool and put it in" Song Xuan couldn't help but put it in a small bowl, and sent a small spoonful to his mouth.

"Uncle Song, I see that there are a lot of them here, I can hold several cans, you will take more back later, your family loves sweetness, I just keep a little to taste, I don't like to eat this kind of too sweet." Gu Xi said, in fact, it is true that if there is a little lemon juice in it, the sourness will be much less, and the peach itself will be very sweet, and the honey will be even sweeter.

"Well, okay, wait for tomorrow, the tribe will get all the peaches back, I think those little cubs must like to eat" Song Xuan was not polite to him, knowing that Gu Xi was actually a very straightforward person, he no longer shirked, he said that if he didn't like to eat much, he really didn't like to eat.

At dinner, Gu Xi put the washed salted eggs in water and cooked them, cut them with a knife, and the oil of the egg yolk flowed out, Gu Xi couldn't help but dig out the egg yolk directly with a small wooden spoon, it was really fragrant, with a little salty taste, he actually liked to eat salty, so he just accepted this saltiness, alas, how good it would be if he had a bowl of porridge.

"In this way, the eggs can be stored for a long time, and the taste is also delicious, and the pickled ones in my house are almost finished," Song Xuan said, he loves to eat egg yolks the most, and the egg whites are all solved by his boy Bo.

"Uncle Song, you can take some back, Huo Bai and I can't finish eating, it will be too salty after the time," Gu Xi said.

"Okay" Song Xuan agreed, and a pair of eyes looked at the freshly made boiled pork slices, and the fragrance had already filled the entire room.

Fat and thin, thin and uniform meat slices are marinated by egg whites, and the taste becomes very tender after getting out of the pot, and the bone broth of red pepper is put in, revealing the stimulating spicy taste and the deliciousness of the bone broth, even Tong Qi, who can't eat spicy, is reluctant to stop, and the whole pot has been eaten by them, and the green leafy vegetables that the orcs don't like to eat have also been eaten.

On the second day, the sub-beasts who went out to collect picked the peaches that grew on the tree or were intact, and boiled them directly in the central area of the tribe, Gu Xi contributed honey, because considering that it would be the exchange day soon, they would be able to exchange some more with the bear clan at that time, and they really couldn't eat so much honey, and the peach jam that was boiled out in the end was received according to the amount that each family liked to eat, because there were more peaches, and the peach jam made was completely enough, Gu Xi took two more cups back.

Gu Xi also saw Sanjie, who was pregnant with a cub, his originally tall and thin body was a lot rounder because he was pregnant with a cub, but he looked healthier, looking at his belly that was already slightly bulging, Gu Xi was silently embarrassed in his heart, it is normal to hypnotize his sub-beast to have a child, don't feel strange, but my heart is really full of curiosity......

Sanjay had a very strange taste because he was pregnant with a cub, and he didn't like to eat sweet, but now he likes to eat this peach jam very much, and he can't help but thank Gu Xi, he said to Gu Xi: "Gu Xi, they all say that you are God gave us a tribe, and when my cub is born, can you please name him?" ā€

"Is that okay?" Gu Xi looked at Sanjay's partner Wei Jie, and didn't dare to agree, isn't the matter of naming the name all about his parents?

Huo Bai smiled and grabbed his shoulders, and agreed very simply: "Of course you can"

Sanjie was very happy to hear this, and the parents of the Wei and Sang families were equally happy, Gu Xi didn't quite understand, Huo Bai told him when he went back, and the people in the tribe regarded him as a gift from the beast god, just like a wise man, and they thought that if they could get his name, the child would be able to receive the best blessings.

Gu Xi never thought that he was already such a high storage in the tribe.

Huo Bai pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Now your words are more effective than my patriarch. ā€

Gu Xi smiled and said proudly: "That's it, you are all mine." ā€ć€‚
