Chapter 74: Just a lot of spices
Qiong Shu also helped out at Mu Kui's house before, and saw that Sister Kui's house had snow-white salt.
Although he had a very tight mouth and didn't tell anyone, he privately felt that since Sister Aoi's family could come up with snow-white salt, there must be a lot of coarse salt, so he came to borrow it.
Mu Kui knew what Qiong Shu was, and she didn't hide it at the beginning, but now she has a lot of salt in her house, and she doesn't mind helping this little friend who once lived in the Orphan Cave together.
"Okay!"
Mu Kui brought a large bucket of concentrated salt water to Qiong Shu, and then pointed at himself.
"I remember, next year's typhoon season, after the rally, come to you to you."
Qiong Shu tasted the salt water after getting it, and looked excited. "Well, thank you, Sister Aoi! I'll definitely pay it back next year. ”
"Go ahead, dispose of the beast meat early, go out early and pick up the beast corpse and come back."
Mu Kui waved at him, put away the processed animal meat, and moved it home.
She didn't care if Qiong Shu didn't pay back the little salt she lent to Qiong Shu, but she still had to say that.
Otherwise, the salt that everyone in the tribe is scarce, and she can lend it to others casually and not let her pay it back, Mu Kui will not be able to explain the origin of the salt, and it is easy to attract others to covet it because of the salt.
Of course, although Qiong Shu's failure to repay the salt will not affect her family, if Qiong Shu does not pay it back in the wind season next year, it will inevitably make Mu Kui look down on him a few points, and reduce his dealings with him.
I didn't even have time to see the specific situation of the three little ones.
After transporting the meat home and hanging it up, the two siblings dragged the cart and merged into the orcs, racing against time to pick up the carcass again.
But, I have to say, flies, cockroaches and other things are really rampant in the dry season.
The sun in the sky is too vicious.
Mu Kui and the others hurriedly solved the lunch in the food box outside, and then it didn't take long to do it, and it was only about half of the afternoon.
Along the way, they never saw a single intact beast corpse again.
All that remained was the strained corpses, the bones, and the smell of corpses that was unique to the decay of the corpses.
On the last trip, I was not in a hurry, for the sake of saving, the intestines of large animals and the internal organs of small animals, Mu Kui did not lose them, but picked them up and prepared to take them home to eat tonight.
Back home.
Take stock of the harvest.
There is a mound, two scimitar-horned sheep, a brown long-maned yak, two long-nosed buffaloes, an antelope sheep, three hemp finch, ten large snakes with a body length of more than one meter, and several small animals.
The harvest is really rich.
The sum of all kinds of animal meat is enough for their half-month ration.
Counting the previous two and a half months of grain reserves, their ability to resist risks in the face of natural disasters has been strengthened.
At the beginning of the dry season, they were able to find a lot of food, and then they worked harder to save more food, and the family farmed and planted more.
Under the virtuous circle, sooner or later their family will be able to achieve self-sufficiency.
Mu Kui is full of confidence in this.
Although I only cleaned up all the internal organs of the last trip, there were also a lot of large animal hearts, lungs, kidneys, and livers from the previous ones.
With so many things, it is naturally impossible to eat them first.
Even if he could eat it, Mu Kui thought that he couldn't cook a whole meal, and he ate all these offal.
In that way, even if Mu Kui tidied up things well, the two sisters and brothers would definitely vomit after eating.
The best way to preserve animal offal for a long time is to marinate or marinate them.
Mu Kui made a little bit of everything.
The low-alcohol tree flour wine is steamed again to obtain a high degree of tree flour wine.
In the case of pickling, Mu Kui first kills each internal organ with the purification ability, then soaks it in water for a period of time, then takes it out and cuts it into strips, washes off the blood and controls the moisture, adds salt, seals and pickles.
Wait for half a day, then add a high degree of tree powder wine to marinate again, the same is a small half a day, and then control the moisture and hang it to dry in the shade.
If it is marinated, the internal organs should be cleaned up, the marinade material should be prepared and then the marinade should be started, and the moisture should also be controlled and hung up after the marination.
There is more tree powder wine at home, and there are fennel mushrooms to increase the fragrance and remove the fish, and the finished product marinated this time is in better condition than when the previous braised wood and bird wings were browned.
Taking advantage of this effort, Mu Kui also brought out some marinated products such as braised meat, braised wings, and braised elbows, which enriched the categories of grain reserves at home.
The large and small intestines are also utilized.
The core of the needle tree and the bark of the ginger wrap are boiled with water, filtered to obtain the feed water, and then a little tree powder is added to the feed water to make the tree powder feed water.
Wash the animal meat and chop it into meat filling, then add salt, fennel mushroom powder, fragrant tree powder and a little tree powder wine and stir well, pour in the tree powder and water to continue stirring.
After it is done, it is poured into the large and small intestines, and tied into sections with silver thread grass and hung up in the shade to dry.
The sausages made from the large intestine are more difficult to cook, but this is not a problem for the Mu Kui family.
Anyway, there are many large animals, and the meat quality is relatively old, and when Mu Kui is cooking, if you want to eat something soft, you have to stew it for a long time.
Of course, the animal meat is good and can be eaten without being stewed so soft, depending on personal taste preference!
If you want to be chewy, add less fire, and if you want to eat soft, simmer more.
Insects are the most rampant in the dry season.
Flies and mosquitoes can now be spotted in the cave.
Although Mu Kui and Mu Zhao would shoot them to death when they saw them, they also knew that these things were pervasive, and they might have left many eggs in their homes at some point.
After this batch is exterminated, after a while, there may be new flies and mosquitoes that will break out of the shell.
The previous beast meat was only passed through in salt water, and it was still not very safe.
White vine is a kind of vine with white lines on the vine body, the leaves are slender like willow leaves, and after the flowering period, the vine will bloom clusters of large white flowers with rice grains, this kind of flower is also called white vine flower, the fragrance is rich, it is a good material for making spices.
If it weren't for the fact that this thing only grows in the dry season, and the current white-veined vine only has vines and no flowers, Mu Kui would have wanted to pick some to make aromatherapy products and try to use in dishes.
However, the white-veined vine also has a fragrance on its body, and it is non-toxic, and can be used to smoke bacon.
In the dry season, there will be many plants with strange aromas, such as blades of grass, branches, vines, flowers, etc.
There are no less than ten kinds of fragrant trees that Mu Kui knows, and they only grow in the dry season.
During these difficult times, it will be difficult for them to obtain food, but spices are easy to obtain, and perhaps this is a rare benefit of the dry season!
Of course, for the orcs who run for food every day, the difficulty of obtaining food is enough to become a nightmare for them, and the abundance of spices in the dry season is irrelevant to them.
Mu Kui asked Ah Di to find the white-veined vine and smoke the rough-processed beast meat again.
And she herself is ready to help the poor three cubs in the family.
Buzz!
Mosquitoes in the dry season are particularly rampant, ranging from large mosquitoes as big as fingers to small ones smaller than sesame seeds.
But without exception, they all targeted the three cubs at home.
