Chapter 77 Grow vegetables in space, prevent trouble
After dealing with the snow on the roof, and cleaning up the yard and the path outside, Ming Dai entered the space with the things sent by Zhou Sinian and Aunt Huang.
After changing her clothes, she went into the kitchen to see that the roe deer meat soaked in the sink had turned pink, and the bloody qi was almost gone.
Ming Dai nodded with satisfaction, took out the excess water, and put it aside for later use.
Zhou Sinian was happily eating on the sofa with the yogurt bowl made by Ming Dai, and the nuts he bit crunched.
Ming Dai cut a piece of old ginger, a green onion, poured salt and cooking wine and meat strips, stirred well, and marinated for 15 minutes.
Pour some cooked soybean oil into the basin, add 1:1 sweet potato starch and flour, and finally add two spoonfuls of peppercorn powder and mix well.
If you want the skin to be crispy and not easy to soften, you should not add water to the batter, but put a small amount of beer and two egg yolks, so that the crispy meat taste is the best.
After stirring the batter and setting it aside, she went to the warehouse to re-pick up a large bucket of soybean oil, poured half a bucket and heated it in the pot, and when the oil temperature was fifty percent hot, she picked out the green onion and ginger in the meat strips, poured the meat strips into the basin, and hung the batter evenly.
"Zila"!
The familiar sound of the call of food attracted Zhou Sinian, and he watched curiously as Ming Dai put the meat strips covered with batter into the oil pot, which instantly aroused a small oil flower.
As the long chopsticks rolled, the light yellow strips of meat turned into golden brown fried crispy meat, and the slightest wisp of fried meat aroma overflowed from the oil pan and spread throughout the room.
Zhou Sinian's chewing speed slowed down in his mouth, watching the golden meat strips being fished out and put in the basin to leak oil, he was a little anxious, and he stretched out his hand to take it.
"Smack!"
Ming Dai hit the back of his hand with chopsticks without hesitation, and said to his aggrieved eyes: "Hot!" When you can eat it, you have to fry it again, and you go play for a while. ”
Zhou Sinian was reluctant to go, standing aside with a bowl and watching, stuffing yogurt into his mouth spoonful by spoon, but his eyes were staring at Ming Dai's chopsticks, and he followed the meat strips back and forth.
A large pot of meat strips was fried, and a hill was piled up in the basin.
Ming Dai fried it again, and the color of the meat strips was darker, and the fragrance was heavier.
The first pot came out, Ming Dai put it on a small plate, and handed it to Zhou Sinian, who was eager to wear it.
"Take the chopsticks to the table and eat them, and be careful not to get burned."
Zhou Sinian pursed his lips, nodded indiscriminately, and walked lightly with the plate.
Since the last snowy day, she has a better understanding of Zhou Sinian's food protection behavior, but she has also begun to deliberately adjust some of his small habits to prevent him from breaking his stomach.
After all the meat strips were fried, Ming Dai tried it, the skin was crispy, the meat strips were tender, and the pork fried small crispy meat had a different taste, more strong and more elastic, with the aroma of peppercorns outside, delicious and not greasy.
At noon, the fried meat that the two of them ate was paired with sour radish, which relieved their hunger and greasy.
Zhou Sinian was very satisfied, and discussed with Ming Dai that he wanted to eat this at night.
Ming Dai happily agreed, and there was still half a pot in the warehouse, enough for them to eat several meals.
After eating and resting for a while, the two of them didn't go out, just worked in the space.
Ming Dai first sorted out the things given by Aunt Huang, and planned to raise seedlings in the space.
Leeks are best planted, just treat the leek roots.
She dealt with it, asked Zhou Sinian to fetch half a basin of water, sprinkled some sugar to melt, and put the leek root in it to soak for a while.
Then he took Zhou Sinian out and took a lot of grass and wood ash from the kitchen into the space.
Ash can be used as fertilizer, it is rich in potassium, which can play a role in increasing the growth rate of plants and the number of fruits, and it can also act as an insecticide, which is considered the easiest fertilizer and pesticide to obtain.
Taking advantage of the fact that the leek roots were soaking in the pot, she took Zhou Sinian to pick out the sprouted potatoes and taught him to cut the sprouted potatoes into pieces, making sure that each piece had a small sprout on it, and then put it in the grass ash to roll and spread evenly.
Sweet potatoes don't have to be so troublesome, pick some big ones, put the good ones directly into the ground and plant them, and then use sweet potato vine cuttings.
She planned to breed the other seeds first, because she didn't know them, and there was no writing on the small paper bags given by Huang's sister-in-law, so she really couldn't see what kind of seeds these were.
Let's talk about it when it grows.
To be on the safe side, she went to the warehouse to get some marked seeds, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, small greens and spinach, and she also took seeds such as watermelons, strawberries, small melons and cantaloupe, and planned to plant them all, so that she would not worry about vegetables and fruits in the future!
When she got outside the villa, the fruit trees she transplanted had also grown, and she was not short of fruits to eat.
It's great to have a growing space!
After drawing a beautiful blueprint for the future with Zhou Sinian, his eyes lit up and he moved a bunch of farm tools out of the warehouse at a gallop.
It's a pity that there is no agricultural machinery in the warehouse, and it has to be reclaimed manually, but because of Ming Dai's good pie painting, Zhou Sinian is full of energy, throwing off his arms and digging the ground, and the speed is beyond the reach of a small weak chicken like Ming Dai.
In the end, Ming Dai directly gave up digging the ground, took a shovel to sprinkle the grass and wood ashes on the ground dug by Zhou Sinian, and then sorted out a ridge of soil ridges according to the types that needed to be planted for planting.
In the afternoon, they dug up all the land they wanted to plant.
Ming Dai took out the leek roots, neatly arranged them in the dug pit, she held the leek roots, and Zhou Sinian filled in the soil.
After a trip, Ming Dai felt that her waist was about to break, and Zhou Sinian had nothing to do, so she had to take it, the gap between people and people was really big.
Once the leeks are planted, the others are planted directly.
The potato pieces covered with grass and wood ash are buried on the ridge in a nest, and the sweet potato is simpler, the ridge is not used, half a meter long, one meter wide and one on the line, bury it and wait for germination.
The rest is the seed breeding work, she and Zhou Sinian divided a large piece of land into more than 30 large and small pieces, each piece is separated by ridges, the seeds are evenly sprinkled into it, and the name of the seed is written on the paper, hanging on a small wooden stick and inserted in the ground, so as to avoid forgetting what it is in the later stage.
Finally, Ming Dai connected a water pipe, watered all the vegetables according to her habits, and finally planted all the vegetables.
She and Zhou Sinian sat on the grassland, looking at the black field, smiling happily, looking forward to the greenery spreading over the entire field little by little.
In the evening, in order to reward them for their hard work today, and at the same time she was too tired to cook, the two of them ate hot pot.
Zhou Sinian is now drinking medicine, the mushroom soup pot eaten by the two of them, and all kinds of fresh ingredients in the warehouse are original, and the two of them are happy.
If it weren't for Zhou Sinian drinking bitter soup again in the evening, he felt that today was really a perfect day!
The two were tired and paralyzed, and after going out to boil a pot of hot water to make the chimney smoke, they returned to the space to take a bath before sleeping.
The next day, when Ming Dai woke up, her muscles were sore, her bones creaked, and she was extremely sore.
It's a lot of exercise!
On the contrary, Zhou Sinian did not have anything to do, and began to clean the small pasture after eating in the morning, threw the manure into the fermentation pond, and shaved the sheep with military thorns.
Looking at the sleek lamb, Ming Dai touched her nose, she seemed to have said yesterday that she could knit a sweater from wool.
Looking at Zhou Sinian's neat movements and the frightened and stiff lambs, Ming Dai secretly poked and poked to turn up the temperature of the sheepfold.
Sorry, lambs, there's only so much I can do!
The stupid roe deer watched curiously from the side, shaking the white hair on his buttocks: Fortunately, our hair is short!
