Chapter 58: A sense of urgency

Only the pork liver cooked with salt retains the original taste and nutrition of the pork liver.

But because of this, it doesn't taste as good as expected, and it has a slightly bitter taste.

"Bah, bah" Jiang Lingling couldn't help but spit out the pork liver in his mouth, and when he came back to his senses, he felt that it was too wasteful, and looked at Wen Xian with a shameful face, "Madam, I can't get used to eating this pork liver." ”

Obviously, the fat intestine is so delicious, but the pork liver is so unpalatable. Her little face was wrinkled, and she couldn't eat the remaining half of the pork liver in the bowl.

Wen Xian said indifferently: "If you can't eat it, you won't eat it, I'll make a liver and waist stir-fry tomorrow, it's delicious." ”

Cooked or marinated pork liver is not everyone's liking. If you don't like it, you won't eat it, and she's not the kind of parent who isn't enlightened.

Forehead...... Parents......

She sighed helplessly, how did she become a big patriarch.

However, although most of them are not used to eating, Fang Jiaren and Jiang Jingwan like to eat it.

At the end of a meal, the fat intestine taro and fungus meat slices were all eaten. Only half of the pork liver was left, leaving it for Wen Xian, Jiang Jingwan and Fang Jiaren as snacks.

The remaining half of Jiang Lingling's pork liver was chopped up and fed to Little Ash with taro.

Now that conditions permit, Wen Xian doesn't want to eat the leftover pork liver of others.

And today's catching wild boars, Little Gray Ash has the greatest credit.

Therefore, Wen Xian simply buried a piece of pork liver in the fire for Little Ash Ash, and slowly fed it to Little Ash after it was cooked.

After drinking and eating, Wen Xian began to cook the remaining meat.

To make bacon, you need to put a lot of salt. If they had made all the meat into bacon, the fine salt they had cooked before would not be enough.

So, Wen Xian began to command Fang Jiaren to cut meat and stuff sausages. On the other side, he beckoned to the others, and hurried to boil the coarse salt they had recently collected into fine salt.

Originally, Wen Xian still wanted to eat grilled sausages, but now she can't. You have to try to consume more meat and make less bacon.

Sausage stuffing is quite simple, cut the meat into long strips, sprinkle with salt, peppercorns and chili peppers, stir well, and then pour into the small intestine.

The small intestine, that is, the casing inside the sausage, must be soaked in hot water, and then stretched out with a tied strip ring, and the meat is poured in, squeezing it tightly while filling.

Every time she reaches about 20 centimeters, Wen Xian uses hay to tie the knots tightly at the sections, which is a sausage.

If you want to eat it in the future, just take it off and cook it one by one.

In fact, it is only in winter that sausages and bacon are made. But there is no way at the moment, only to wait for the filling to be done, take it to the sun and expose it to the sun, like drying dried meat as soon as possible.

Once the sausages are ready, poke a few holes in each section of the casing, and then carry them outside the hole to dry in the sun. After that, I started to make bacon.

Before marinating bacon, poke a hole in each piece of meat and put on a sturdy straw rope to make it easy to hang. Then spread salt evenly on all sides of the meat, the more salt the more flavorful, and of course, the saltier it will be.

After applying salt, you can't dry it immediately, but put all the meat in the back basket first, and filter the blood first. Tomorrow, I will mention that the sun will go down to the sun, and dry it into bacon strips as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, there was not enough salt, only half of it was smeared, and there were still five pieces of meat left without salt to marinate.

The fine salt is still being refined, and Wen Xian simply left a piece of meat to eat in the past few days. For the rest, he took all the Fang Jiaren and cut them into palm-length strips, intending to make them into jerky.

Jerky is easy to keep and carry, and to some extent more convenient than bacon. If you make it into jerky, you can go out hunting or something, and you can carry it with you to replenish your energy.

If you need to transfer urgently in special circumstances, jerky is also much more convenient.

Thinking of this, Wen Xian was full of energy.

After a busy day, I finally arranged a place for every piece of meat on the wild boar.

After eating a random fried meat for dinner, I fell asleep with a tired head.

I got up early the next morning, asked Sheng Li'er to help, and together we took out the meat that was marinated yesterday and exposed it to the sun, so that it could be dried early and rest assured.

Fortunately, these two days are sunny days, and it is estimated that it can be dried in a few more days.

After drying the bacon, breakfast continued to be handed over to Fang Jiaren to deal with, while Wen Xian took Zhou Hui and Bai Rose to braid.

Because of the wild boar hit yesterday, there are still a few people who have to make only half of the single bamboo mat. So, at this time, they are busy continuing to make bamboo mats.

The bamboo mat of the white rose was made yesterday, and today she originally wanted to help others make it, but Wen Xian still pulled her over to do the tanning first.

She glanced at Bai Rose and said, "The bamboo mat is simple, you two learn to tan and flatten first, maybe after the tanning is finished, their bamboo mat will also be done." What's more, if you help for a while, you can't help for a while. If you do it yourself, you can also gain experience. ”

White Rose hurriedly said with red eyes, "I know, madam." ”

She clenched her fists, secretly determined to hurry up. If someone hasn't finished weaving the bamboo mat, she will go to help.

Wen Xian smiled and shook her head, but didn't say anything more.

As for Zhou Hui, she didn't drag the bamboo, and the single bamboo mat would only be given to her if there was leftover bamboo behind it.

Therefore, she was even more bent on getting into the tan.

The three of them made it up together, and it was only half done by noon. I didn't expect that the bamboo mat weaving was not much better, and it was still a short section away from finishing.

Wen Xian couldn't say anything, and took advantage of lunch to say seriously: "The fine salt is still too little, all the cooking yesterday was used, and only a small point is left to eat for these two days." So, starting tomorrow, we have to boil more coarse salt.

If you want to weave bamboo mats, you will work hard to finish them today, and you will have to do collective work tomorrow.

Now that we have bacon and sausages, we can save some food and survive until the beginning of spring. However, although the meat is not worried, it has to worry about the others.

Seeing that the weather is getting cooler, and winter will soon begin, our winter clothes have not yet landed. I will nitrate yesterday's wild boar skin later, and I can make a leather coat after it is dried. But far from it, there are ten more people. ”

Moreover, in winter, leather clothing alone is not enough to protect against the cold.

If you think about it, they are currently lacking in everything except meat and fish.

It snows for a long time in winter, and there is no shortage of fresh water. But there is a lack of salt, so you have to boil some more salt to get out.

You also have to look for cotton, and if you can't find cotton, you have to burn charcoal as soon as possible.

"Charcoal?" Wu Junlan was surprised, "Madame still burns charcoal?" ”

Charcoal! As scarce and indispensable as salt.

If you can burn charcoal, and there is enough charcoal, it means that there is no shortage of firewood throughout the winter.

If they really don't have warm clothes, they can stay in the cave and burn charcoal all day to keep warm.

Wen Xian nodded solemnly and said, "I haven't burned it, but I know how to burn it." ”

Wu Junlan: ......

Wen Xian paused and continued: "So, starting tomorrow, we will divide the troops into several ways. Those who boil salt boil salt, and those who go into the mountains to find cotton look for cotton. I have to chop some more bamboo, I want to make a bamboo raft, just in case, do you have any objections? ”
