Chapter 176 Lamb Hotpot
Liu Jingxue was happy after bringing the food home and storing it in the space.
Looking at the very rough cornmeal and flour, Liu Jingxue wondered whether she should use the grinder in the space to process them further, but then she thought better of it.
She didn't plan to eat the food herself, so she had to send it to the cowshed in batches.
She is a native southerner and is not used to eating noodles, let alone cooking them.
If she had to consume these things herself, she would probably let them grow moldy.
Of course, there is no such thing as mold in the space warehouse, but it will always be there and accumulate dust.
Over in the cowshed, although I wanted them to eat better, I couldn't provide them with all the fine grains.
Although he could use the excuse of saving the grain dealer who resold grain as an excuse and buy grain from him at a low price, it couldn't be all fine grain.
These days, even among grain dealers, there is not much fine grain.
I can only mix coarse and fine grains, or even a 3:1 ratio, to supply food to the cowshed.
Food is being distributed today, and the cowshed should also receive some food, but there probably won’t be much left.
After all, they were sent here for labor reform, and they would definitely not be treated the same as the villagers.
I sent some food there a few days ago.
The food that my eldest brother sent over, they only left a small portion of it last time, so it should be enough to last for some time.
In addition to the food we received today, I will not send any more food there for the time being.
It would be better to wait until the people from the Revolutionary Committee come and hold a criticism and denunciation meeting before sending more food.
Thinking of the Revolutionary Committee, Liu Jingxue recalled her masterpiece when she went to the town the day before yesterday.
Two days have passed, and I don’t know if those people have recovered or not, or whether they have launched any more criticism or house searches.
If they don't learn their lesson, she wouldn't mind teaching them a lesson the day after tomorrow when she goes to deliver meat to Sister Jin.
Thinking of Sister Jin, Liu Jingxue remembered what she had reminded her.
He slapped his forehead, wondering why he had forgotten about finding someone to exchange wine for him.
The grain has been distributed to each household, and those who use the grain to make wine will probably start soon.
If you need a large quantity, you must inform the other party in advance, and maybe they will send some food over.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue couldn't sit still anymore and prepared to go out immediately to find out which family in the village could make wine.
Fortunately, Tuanzi stopped her in time.
"Master, it's already eleven o'clock, and everyone should prepare lunch.
Are you coming here at this time to have a meal at their home?"
Liu Jingxue left the space and looked at the time. It was indeed eleven o'clock.
It is indeed inappropriate to visit someone else at this time.
Then I can only go there in the afternoon.
Today is a good day for distributing food. This is the first time in Liu Jingxue's two lifetimes that she has earned her own food through her own labor. It is of great significance.
Liu Jingxue prepared to reward herself.
Liu Jingxue thought about whether to use the allocated food to prepare lunch for today, and then gave up.
Sorghum rice and brown rice can be cooked, but they need to be soaked for several hours, otherwise they will not taste good.
Although there are time formations that can speed up things, they also consume spatial spiritual energy. There is no need to waste spiritual energy on such things.
There will be plenty of time to cook it later, so there is no need to rush.
As for cornmeal, I really don’t know how to knead the dough or make pancakes, so I’d better not waste food.
In the end, Liu Jingxue still cooked rice.
I haven’t eaten hot pot for a long time. Although it’s not snowing outside, the weather has turned cooler and it’s a bit cold, which is suitable for eating hot pot.
Thinking of the fresh mutton and venison in the space, Liu Jingxue decided to have mutton hotpot today.
A lot of spices are needed to remove the fishy smell of mutton hotpot. Liu Jingxue decided to prepare it in the space and then move it outside to eat.
As for why we don’t eat inside, it’s because the space is like spring all year round and there’s no atmosphere suitable for eating hotpot.
Hotpot is better to eat on cold days. On cold days, it is so comfortable for the whole family to sit around the steaming hotpot, eating and chatting.
Liu Jingxue prepared a piece of mutton weighing more than two kilograms, washed it, cut it into pieces, and blanched it for later use.
Heat oil in a pan, add ginger slices, dried chili peppers, peppercorns, and star anise, stir-fry until fragrant, then add scallion strips and stir-fry evenly.
After adding the bean paste and sautéing until fragrant, pour in the lamb and stir-fry quickly.
Pour in a little white wine, and after the aroma comes out, pour in clean water.
Bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat.
While the lamb was simmering on low heat, Liu Jingxue prepared some side dishes for the hot pot.
Lettuce, cabbage, enoki mushrooms, coriander, white radish, celery, and potatoes.
In fact, white tofu or frozen tofu would be better.
The white tofu or frozen tofu that has absorbed the soup is so juicy that your mouth will be filled with juice when you bite it. The taste is simply amazing.
It’s a pity that there is no shortage of soybeans in my space, but I don’t have the skills to make tofu.
The production team grows so many soybeans every year, so there must be someone in the village who will order tofu.
If I go to exchange them myself, I can only exchange a few pieces each time, which is not enough to eat.
If only they could teach themselves how to make tofu.
But in this era, all skills are kept secret and not disclosed to the public.
Liu Jingxue was a little depressed.
If it were in modern times, with abundant material resources, there would be no such trouble at all.
Since I came here, I have missed out on so many delicious foods.
Not to mention other things, there are many soy products that are no longer available.
Somehow, she didn't feel anything before, but today, when she thought of white tofu, frozen tofu, and egg tofu, Liu Jingxue couldn't suppress the desire in her heart.
Liu Jingxue convinced herself, "It's not just what you're craving for, it's what your body is lacking.
I want to eat tofu so much, it must be that my body is lacking some element that tofu contains, so I need to make up for it. "
"Why don't we find out which family in the production team knows how to make tofu.
After finding out the time when their family made tofu, he used an invisibility talisman to go to their house and learn from them.
I'm not selling tofu to compete with him for business. I'm just making it in my own space for myself to eat.
It shouldn’t matter.”
"At worst, I can find an opportunity to give his family some benefits in the future, which can be regarded as the tuition for his apprenticeship."
"It was decided happily."
After preparing the side dishes, the beef hotpot is almost done.
Liu Jingxue put out the coal stove that she had brought from her home in Xinshi and started a fire.
Prepare a small iron pot, pour the mutton hotpot into it, and cook it on the coal stove.
Place the other prepared side dishes on the table.
Liu Jingxue enjoyed the delicious mutton hotpot alone.
She ate a lot of the prepared side dishes, and even the two kilograms of mutton was eaten up by her, with only a few pieces left.
Liu Jingxue ate too much and slumped in the chair with a bulging belly, not wanting to move.
Liu Jingxue couldn't help but recall the scenes of eating hot pot with her parents, classmates and colleagues in modern times.
“The hot pot is still as delicious as ever, but when I eat it alone, it always feels like something is missing.”
Liu Jingxue misses her modern parents a little.
Although they had been away from her for many years in modern times, she had become accustomed to life without them.
But since I came to this time and space, I had some things weighing on my mind, and then after going to the countryside, I was busy with the autumn harvest and had no time to think about these trivial things.
Now that I have free time, I often think of them.
Although her family conditions were not very good, she was an only child after all, and was brought up in pampered conditions.
If they knew the situation they are in now, they would probably feel distressed.
"I didn't put much chili in it, why did it make me cry?" Liu Jingxue murmured, raising her hand to wipe away her tears.
“Next time you eat hotpot, it’s better to find a few more people to go with you.
The more you rush to eat it, the better it tastes.”
It won’t make people feel lonely either.
