Chapter 126 Lamb Stew

Han Li was considering whether to ask Qi Zhaodi to come over to help, but Yun Yingying said a little belatedly.

"You actually hunted a wild goat? Then shouldn't we be able to stew mutton, drink haggis soup, and even boil the mutton when we count nine?"

Yun Jingjing became more and more speechless towards her younger sister. Now she would react a beat slower whenever Han Li was involved.

Han Li said with a smile: "We can eat whatever we want, including braised, stir-fried, clear stew, and shabu-shabu. The weather isn't too cold yet, so these meats won't last too long. Let's eat them quickly and wait until the count of nine." I'll go get another one."

Yun Yingying wrinkled her nose and said, "Then we'll set up the pot in advance, but from what you said, it's as simple as the wild goat just sitting there waiting for you to catch it."

"As long as you want to eat it, I will hunt one back for you even if I travel all over the mountains."

Yun Jingjing said at this time: "Ahem, cough, let me tell you one thing. I can only cook the mutton well, but I can't guarantee that it will be delicious. I disliked the smell of mutton after it was cooked, so I didn't learn it. "

Yun Yingying: "He Mi knows how to cook mutton. I can go and ask for advice. When we first arrived in Shanghe Village, do you remember the air-dried mutton she invited everyone to eat? I still remember she said that the mutton was made by herself. It tastes pretty good.”

Han Li: "Call He Mi and Qi Zhaodi over. You can ask He Mi how to make mutton. Sichuan Province is very famous for kimchi. It is said that Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period had a bowl of kimchi every day, and Qi Zhaodi was at home. You know, if you don’t make it well, you will be hungry and scolded, so she must be very good at making kimchi, so we ask her to help us with the winter vegetables.”

After the matter was settled, Yun Jingjing started to deal with Feilong, and Yun Yingying went to He Mi's house.

Han Li wiped and put all the crossbows and crossbow boxes in the backpack, looked at the time and said.

"You guys get ready first, I'll go pick up the wild goat and get it back as soon as possible."

"Then be careful when you're on the road."

"Um."

Han Li picked up his backpack and went out. After leaving the village, he came to a very secluded beach.

After breaking down the wild goat, wash off the blood from the goat's head and hooves and put them at the bottom of the backpack.

Rinse the sheepskin and place it on top of the sheep's head. Break the mutton into large pieces and wash off the blood and water before putting them in.

The heart, liver, lungs, and penis are all easy to deal with when it comes to sheep's urine. Simply flush them.

However, the sheep stomach (tripe) and intestines need to be peeled and rinsed thoroughly. This process is quite difficult.

However, Han Li is no longer the Wu Xia Amon he used to be. After dissecting the wild boar in detail, it is nothing to him. He can easily remove the oil and debris attached to the sheep tripe and intestines. The only thing you have to do yourself is to turn the sheep intestines over, otherwise you won't be able to explain it when you go back.

After doing all this, Han Li lay by the river and looked at the disappearing sun and the gorgeous sunset all over the sky.

I have to say that this kind of scenery is really beautiful, but the weather is a bit cold now and I lack someone to accompany me.

But now that everyone has washed away the dust from the past period, it may be a little difficult for Han Li to go further. Can he return to his original state with daily hugs and kisses? As long as this familiarity is high enough, he can get through the last stage. Isn’t it a matter of course to set up layers of passes?

While Han Li was lying by the river, Yun Yingying had already called He Mi and Qi Zhaodi over.

The three of them, with Qi Zhaodi as the leader, started to wash the dishes in front of them, and then put them aside to control the water.

Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying from the neighboring courtyard have been lying on the kang until now. If they weren't so hungry that they couldn't bear it anymore, they would definitely lie down until tomorrow. Even so, they still felt sore and weak. They heard the excitement here while they were eating. After getting up, the two of them rushed over.

Yang Xiuying: "Are you going to start pickling vegetables? Didn't you say you'll do it after the cabbage and radishes come down?"

Yun Yingying: "When the cabbage comes down, we make sauerkraut. At that time, if we wanted to eat sour beans and eggplant, we had to go to the villagers' houses to get ready-made ones."

"Hongmin, how about we start marinating some other dishes tomorrow?"

"Then why are we waiting for tomorrow? Let's go to the villagers to exchange for some food today. It won't be worthwhile when all the educated youth go to exchange for it. But what should I do if I don't know how to do this?"

Qi Zhaodi: "But the method I know is a bit spicy. If you don't mind it, I can help."

"It'll be spicy for dinner. Zhaodi, we've packed up and come over and ask for your help."

After the two of them finished speaking, they went to exchange food with the villagers. Han Li came back not long after the two left.

Now Yun Jingjing and He Mi took the baskets and went to the house to cook the mutton. Han Li watched Qi Zhaodi and the others pickling vegetables.

Qi Zhaodi made two kinds of pickles, one of which was the pickles they had eaten for many years. They called this pickles.

The water used to pickle deep-water vegetables can also be used to soak a series of meat dishes such as chicken feet, pig ears, and louvers.

And the water of this deep-water vegetable must be protected better. When it is used again next year, it will turn into mother water, and the vegetables pickled with mother water will be more delicious.

Another kind of dish Qi Zhaodi calls boiling water dish, but it is also called bathing pickle dish.

This pickling method is suitable for use during the peak season when vegetables are harvested, because the boiled vegetables can be eaten after being pickled for a few days.

However, no matter which method is used, Qi Zhaodi first scalds the jar and chopsticks with boiling water to ensure that there is no oil on them. After the marinating, the jar must be carefully sealed, and she repeatedly reminded that no matter when to eat, the chopsticks must be scalded before reaching in to pick up the food.

After they marinated the vegetables, He Mi and Yun Jingjing had not finished yet.

There were large pieces of mutton, mutton heart, liver, and lungs in the big pot, and they were slowly stewing on a low fire.

When these things were about to be taken out of the pot, they would put the mutton stomach and mutton intestines into the pot, and take them out after a slight roll. This way, the mutton can be stored for a few more days to the greatest extent.

As for the mutton bones, they will be boiled out of the marrow tomorrow, and then the mutton soup will be made with the mutton stewed today.

In order not to affect everyone's dinner at night, He Mi specially exchanged some pickled vegetables from the villagers and made a sour mutton soup. It was so delicious with corn cakes, and the soup could be refilled unlimitedly. All four people were full at once. Yun Yingying half leaned on the kang cabinet and said.

"Han Li, didn't you say you would take us to catch badgers after the autumn harvest? Then when are we going?"

"If the weather is good tomorrow, we will go outside for a walk, but I can't guarantee whether we can catch badgers."

Yun Jingjing: "Little sister, we don't have time to go out tomorrow, you should give up this idea."

"Why?"

"Tomorrow we not only have to wash the clothes, but also dry the bedding if the weather is good, otherwise there will be no chance after the weather changes. And when we first came here, we will live in Hao Hongmin's house. They will pickle vegetables tomorrow and we both have to go to help. Do you still have time to go out?"

"Oh, okay."

Han Li smiled and said nothing, and He Mi looked at the expressions of the three of them and didn't say anything.

Qi Zhaodi burped embarrassedly at this time. She felt so happy now. She originally thought that it would be difficult for her to live after coming here, but she didn't expect that so many people would help and care about her after coming here.

He Mi let herself live in her new house, so that she had a place to store the mountain products she picked up from the mountain. When she was sick, Han Li sent her to the hospital and helped to advance the medical expenses. Later, he also helped himself get cotton so that she would not have to worry in the coming winter. This was a feeling she had never had before. The most important thing was that she found that she had gained weight. If possible, she would like to be with everyone for the rest of her life.

Han Li said to He Mi at this time: "By the way, He Mi, who did you ask to help tan the leather last time? I also ask the other party to tan this sheepskin, so that it can be used when it gets cold."

He Mi: "Last time, Aunt Zhao Liu helped me tan it, but the sheepskin is not suitable for display at this time. Otherwise, you can give me the sheepskin and I will go to their house. We usually work in the same group and have a good relationship."

"There is no rush for this matter. Let's not make a fuss about it. It's the same when we go to the county town another day to find someone to tan it."

As everyone talked, they felt that the feeling of being bloated had subsided a little, so they hurriedly started to clean up the dishes.

At this time, the mutton in the pot can also be fished out. Han Li took a basin with the soup and meat to take some away for He Mi and Qi Zhaodi.

Then he took out all the broth in the pot, added water again and started to boil the mutton bones to prepare for the mutton soup tomorrow.

Yun Jingjing went home first after helping him skim off the foam, and Yun Yingying fell into Han Li's hands.

Today, Han Li began to try to tell her some slightly colorful jokes to prepare for further progress in the future.

In the end, Yun Yingying's ears were red when she left. I don't know if it was the power of the story or because Han Li's hands and feet were dirty.

That night, Han Li put all his dirty clothes together, and Yun Yingying would come to take them away and wash them tomorrow.

The next day, after Han Li finished exercising and washing, he sat directly on the kang to read and study.

Because he didn't have to go to work, the Yun sisters would come to take care of things like cooking.

This is the benefit of finding a partner to fight with, which basically freed Han Li from the trivial matters of washing clothes and cooking.

After the three of them finished their meal, Yun Yingying went home with Han Li's clothes.

Yun Jingjing went to Hao Hongmin's house, and Han Li moved a small stool and sat at the door to bask in the sun.

Not long after, Tiedan led a group of children carrying shovels and hoes, holding bamboo baskets and snakeskin bags in their hands, and followed by two dogs and walked out of the village.

"Brother Han."

"Tiedan, what are you going to do?"

"We are going to dig rat holes. If we are lucky, we can dig 34 kilograms of food from a rat hole. Brother Han, do you want to go with us? I can tell you all my tricks."

"Haha. You guys go first, I'll go with others in a while."
