Section 44 New Farm (1)
The food of the crossing crowd has been rice + seafood since D-Day. After a month of eating seafood in a variety of ways, few people are still interested in these things. Even Wu De's original paella began to be extremely boring after two weeks of eating it himself. Although some improvements were made to the food under his abbot, such as making smoked fish, fish sauce, and fish plates, some of these things took a long time to mature, and some lacked the necessary condiments - everyone thought of bringing enough salt, but they removed soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, cooking wine, and spices from the reserves. They forget that these things are not available right away, and that they have to eat every day.
As a result, both smoked fish and fish plates have a strange taste that makes it difficult to arouse interest. Sometimes, the food office also improves the food and uses all kinds of canned food in the reserve, but the quantity is a bit small compared to the population base - one canned luncheon meat will definitely taste bad if two people eat it, but one canned luncheon meat for ten people is equivalent to no one eating it.
One day, Wu Nanhai sneakily brought Wu De a smoked sausage, something he didn't want to see in another time and space, but it made him feel extremely delicious - although there was no pepper in it, only some garlic in it. Wu Nanhai also repeatedly asked him to keep it a secret, especially in front of Nan Nick -- this was a horse meat smoked sausage made with his "blue electricity". The body of this Australian racehorse was secretly corrupted as a private commodity of the agricultural group. And Nick would go to the grave of the horse race when he had time, and even the bones were secretly collected - Wu Nanhai was going to use it to make fertilizer powder.
After repelling the "first encirclement and suppression" -- after the publication of the Lingao Express, everyone called it the counteroffensive -- it was only after the dragging of a few dead horses that they really improved their food for the first time in more than a month, and this time the six pigs sent by the local gentry became a rare delicacy in the canteen.
However, for Wu Nanhai, they were still a little disappointed, these pigs were far worse than what they had seen in another time and space, they were thin and small, their manes were very hard, and they looked a bit like wild boars.
"Don't look down on them," Xiong Buyou, who brought people to drive the pigs, swallowed his saliva while looking at a few seedling pigs, "This is Lingao pigs, a famous local specialty, which has always been exported to Hong Kong." Does Lingao suckling pig know? It's this kind of pig, with thin skin and small bones, delicate meat, and a special aroma-"
He turned around a few seedling pigs with a greedy gaze like a big bad wolf: "These are all thirteen or fourteen catties, and they must be fat and tender when they are roasted." ”
"Don't have a bad idea, I originally planned to raise a seedling pig for breeding pigs. Since you said that the breed of this pig is so good, then you have to stay. ”
"All the pigs have been slaughtered?"
"That's right, let's give everyone a tooth sacrifice. I have consulted the executive committee," Wu Nanhai looked at a few pigs who were still looking for food in the arch soil in an instant, "I originally wanted to kill two, but the executive committee said that if they wanted to kill, they would simply slaughter all six big pigs, rather than letting people only eat a small piece of meat, it is better for everyone to eat happily, which can be regarded as a reward." ”
Wu Nanhai had already made an abacus in his heart about the gifts that were sent: 200 catties of wine is a very low degree of rice wine, which can be used to make cooking wine and vinegar; Tanglu is already slaughtered haode meat corpse, on the venison jerky, this food practice is easy, although there is no spice, the taste is OK after boiling and drying with salted water, easy to carry, can be stored for a long time. It's a pity that the deer was sent after it was killed, and the deer skin and deer were gone. A cow is a female cow, and it is not strong enough to be an animal in the southern paddy fields, but it can be used as a local female parent for future beef cattle and dairy cows. The six big pigs are slaughtered pigs, can not be a breeding pig, although there is still room for fattening, but at the moment there is a lack of feed, continue to raise in vain to lose fat, simply slaughtered and eaten.
As for how to use these pigs, we have already listed many plans: pork belly and rib meat are made into braised pork, and pork head meat is made into braised meat - but there is no spice for the time being, and it is first put in the refrigerator with high-end goods such as ribs and tenderloin - and removed from the kitchen of Fengcheng Wheel. Pork trotters and small chops can be used to make soup, and leg meat and sandwich meat can be used to make ground meat; The fat meat is all boiled in oil, the oil residue is used for stir-frying, and the pork bones are used to boil soup. The brain and spinal cord are knocked out separately and used. Pig blood and offal are delicious, and the water that cannot be eaten: pig pancreas, pig bladder, pig gall bladder and spleen, etc., all have other uses, and they are also frozen first. Zuihou even prepares the pork rind to be fried into oily meat skin for cooking—Wu Nanhai really wants to stop the cries of complaining about the food for a few days. What Zuihou really can't eat is dried by Wu Nanhai to make feed powder.
Such an all-encompassing approach has a big problem – no one is going to kill pigs. For these traversers, pigs are the bright red meat on the vegetable market board or in the supermarket freezer, and how to turn a live pig into pork has become an unsolvable mystery.
Wu Nanhai brought Yang Guigui here, because he had successfully helped the food office dissect and split several dead horses, everyone thought that the task of killing pigs could also be handed over to him. However, Veterinarian Yang shook his head again and again, saying that it was easy to take the life of a pig, but killing a pig was a jishu job, and if you didn't do it, you would waste the pork in vain. He also cited the example of the European Union, because in order to implement animal humanism, the European Union insisted on changing the pig killing method that had been carried on for thousands of years to an electric shock method that conformed to animal humanism, and as a result, the pork in the EU is now extremely unpalatable.
Zuihou is also a veteran of the military group to solve this problem: how can there be no pig in the company, and when the food is improved during the Chinese New Year, it is all the pig killing organized by his own cooking class, and some people have also helped in the cooking class. A few veterans rolled up their sleeves, boiled a large pot of water, and slaughtered all the pigs in one fell swoop.
A quarantine team composed of Yang Guigui and Shi Yuanren conducted relevant quarantine on the spot, believing that these pigs were still healthy. There were no serious parasitic infections, but all meat was still instructed to be cooked thoroughly.
There were several large pots of braised pork cooked in the cafeteria that night. Only salt and soy sauce - still very poor solid soy sauce, cooking wine flavored braised pork won unanimous praise from everyone, and even the girls who have always been afraid of gaining weight and do not like to eat meat have joined the chorus of fighting for more and less for less. Wu Nanhai burst into tears when he saw someone eating.
"It's still the best meat." This is the unanimous conclusion of many people who have eaten seafood for nearly two months.
But these pots of braised pork also brought them from the ship's galley, and they ran out of soy sauce. Wu Nanhai was thinking that he should find a place to buy some soy sauce and condiments and the like - he had fermented bacteria. But there are too many things going on with the Committee of Agriculture at the moment.
As the center of gravity of the entire industry is shifting to Bairentan, various supporting buildings have been built one after another. The various belongings of the Committee of Agriculture are also to be transferred to Bairen City. Wu Nanhai travels back and forth between the two places every day to clean up and transport goods. Although he is one of the members of the executive committee, he rarely calls Beijing 212 according to his rank, and always tries to take the agricultural vehicles between the two places. After the move, only the Bopu canteen guarded by a catering staff member and the fishery production group managed by Chen Haiyang, a former navy and now a fisherman, were left in Bopu. Chen Haiyang sent a report to the Executive Committee: It called for the establishment of a navy with the existing vessels and personnel of the fishery group as the core, and also to operate the fishing industry. The Bopu camp can be changed to be managed by the navy, and as for the future maritime trade, shipbuilding, etc., it can also be managed by the navy.
Navy! Wu Nanhai thought that he hadn't even solved the problem of eating, and some people already wanted to engage in the navy. Seeing that the tent where he had lived for more than a month had been dismantled, he couldn't help but feel a little sad, and threw several bundles of nylon nets that Wu De gave him onto the farm truck. Wu De, a fisherman, is now happily serving as his labor camp leader, tossing those natives every day, working and brainwashing. If he continued to be in the fishery group, how could Chen Haiyang suddenly come out and engage in the navy.
Behind this farm vehicle was a long series of two-wheeled vehicles abandoned by the villagers in the counteroffensive, on which were bundled with various belongings of the agricultural group: small farm tools, irrigation and drainage equipment, sprayers, a full set of agricultural experimental equipment, veterinary equipment, seeds, and many cages containing chickens, ducks, rabbits and other livestock and ...... Farm vehicles have become trains here, and although he doesn't know much about cars, he can't think of it. Difficult times are coming, and I hope that this car can resist until all the items are shipped.
Wielding a homemade whip, Yang Guigui directed his six dogs on the side of the road to drive the newly formed marching formation: a few pigs, a pair of donkeys and three horses, these large animals did not enjoy the treatment of riding in a car, and would march on foot to their new home. These breeding animals are very valuable, and the military team sent seven or eight men to escort them.
"Lao Yang, it's hard work." Wu Nanhai walked up to him, "Let's go together." "Livestock farming is not his specialty, and he wants to take this opportunity to talk to the veterinarian.
"It's far away, you have to walk more than ten kilometers, can you eat your bones?" Yang Guigui looked at his somewhat fat body.
"Well, I'm younger than you." It looked like the dark-skinned man with a pair of black-rimmed resin-framed glasses on his nose looked at least thirty-seven or eighteen.
"I'm a veterinarian, and I'm a rural veterinarian. Walking a dozen kilometers a day is a small meaning. Although there are now roads in every village, there will always be only one car. And it's always prescribed for people who don't go out of the clinic. Yang Guigui shook his flat-topped parted head, and Wu Nanhai found that he was the same as himself, tying his two glasses feet with ropes and hanging them around his neck. This common denominator greatly increases his favorability.
