Chapter 277 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (28)
The autumn rain continued for three days, and it cleared up on the fourth day.
The fields are moistened by rain, so there will be no need for irrigation for a short time.
Everyone freed up more time to continue burning charcoal, opening kilns, and burning bricks and tiles, so that every household could live in a strong and warm brick house before the cold winter came.
Seeing that the rain had stopped, Xu Yin first looked at the ginseng seeds in the germination box.
Of the medicinal seeds that have been soaked and germinated, only the baby ginseng has not sprouted.
Other seeds have been sown in the soil some time ago.
For every acre she planted, she gained 100 energy points, which made her very motivated.
Mosquito meat is still meat no matter how small it is. If there is no 100, where does 1,000 come from?
What made Xu Yin even more delighted was that after three days, the ginseng seeds sprouted!
In this way, you can sow the seeds in the soil in time for autumn!
Withstanding the wind, frost and cold in winter, the ginseng seedlings unearthed in the coming spring will surely be strong and powerful.
The good mood lasted until noon, when Orion Village came to give her another wave of surprises.
Among the herbs that the three brothers of the He family picked up this time, there were actually three herbs that had never been given before: [Natural Bezoar], [Chonglou], and [Boxing Ginseng], which helped Xu Yin light up the remaining three.
A light-up herbal illustration.
"Chinese Herbal Medicine Illustrated Book" is completely cleared.
[Ding! The entire Chinese Herbal Medicine Illustrated Book is lit up, and a random skill is awarded - Concealment (non-permanent)]
Xu Yin ignored the newly arrived random skills for the time being and settled the herbal medicine money for the three brothers first.
"Brother Hero, don't worry about the money for the herbs. We still have to go to the fair. We hunted a wild boar yesterday, and I'll keep the meat for you."
The boss of the He family worked calmly. He waited until all the victims who came to see the excitement had left, then took out a knife of butt meat, which is the fattest part of the wild boar.
"Ouch!"
Erlang shouted in surprise, and then covered his mouth for fear of being heard by people outside.
But his gleaming eyes were fixed on the knife and flesh.
Pork!
Ever since his father died and his brother was drafted into corvee service, he has not been seen again.
Although I heard from people in the village that wild boar meat has a strong smell and is not as delicious as domestic pork, but when there is no meat, it is good to eat some! It is not as delicious as pickles!
Xu Yin looked at Erlang's hungry expression and couldn't help but laugh.
He said to the three brothers of the He family: "How much do you plan to sell this pork for? I bought it!"
"..."
The three brothers of the He family looked at her in disbelief.
"Brother Hero, there is almost a whole head here."
"I know, if you choose to sell it at the market, how much can it usually sell for? My family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and it's almost winter. The weather has cooled down, so I can't finish all the pickled bacon and it's good to eat it during the New Year."
"But curing meat takes too much salt."
The locals are reluctant to use salt when cooking, but they are not willing to use salt to marinate bacon.
People in the mountains wait for the northwest wind to blow and hang a few kilograms of dried meat under the porch to celebrate the New Year.
Xu Yin didn't explain much to them, she wanted the pork anyway!
In the end, the three brothers left behind two loads of herbs and a head of wild boar meat, and returned home in exchange for a bag of white silver.
Xu Yin gave them thirty taels.
Twelve taels are the money for pork, and twenty taels are the money for herbs and bonuses.
That piece of natural bezoar helped her a lot.
Because I didn’t know until I lit it up that the last illustration was actually a natural bezoar.
It is true that bezoar is a medicinal material, but how can it be included in Chinese herbal medicine? The dog system misled me!
Fortunately, the third son of the He family once heard the doctor in the town mention that the ugly lump in the stomach of a cow that died of illness was a medicinal material.
It happened that the old scalper in their village died of illness a while ago, and every household lined up to divide the meat and organs.
The old hunter who killed the cow was holding up the ugly lump and yelling that it was something he wanted to throw away.
He Laosan remembered the doctor's words and asked for this thing.
Otherwise, Xu Yin might not be able to guess it for several lifetimes.
According to her, twenty taels are too little!
But the three brothers of the He family felt that even twenty taels were too hot to deal with. At first they refused to accept it at all, but it was Xu Yin who persuaded them to accept it on the grounds that "I won't accept your medicinal herbs in the future."
For more, please wait until you have the opportunity to help them in the future.
There was an extra pig in the house, and it was a large wild boar with a net weight of three hundred kilograms. Erlang was excited, happy, and anxious at the same time.
"Sister-in-law, if someone sees you, will you come and rob me?"
"No." Xu Yin said with a smile, "Forgot how strong my sister-in-law is? Do they dare to come and rob her?"
"That's right!" Erlang immediately put aside his uneasiness and excitedly took a look at the pork.
When I smelled the smell of wild boar meat at a close distance, my little face wrinkled up like a little old man: "It smells really bad! Why does the meat taste so delicious!"
“It tastes good when it’s done well!”
Xu Yin raised the knife and broke down two large fans of pork.
"The pig head meat will be stewed for a while and divided among everyone. Then we will stew the pig meat. Think of it as a celebration for the kiln!"
Erlang covered his chest and felt a little pain in his chest, but recalling what his sister-in-law had said to him, he endured the pain and nodded: "Okay!"
"You go find Pear Blossom Girl for help."
"Why!"
After Erlang finished speaking, he ran out of the house.
Xu Yin broke down the remaining meat.
Leave half of the pork strips to be salted; cut the other half into strips three fingers wide, about a dozen strips, and give them to Chen Mancang and the others later.
The burning of charcoal and kiln was all done by these strong and responsible laborers, so that she could concentrate on growing herbal medicines.
Save some of the ribs to make sugar steaks for the two little ones to have a taste of during the Chinese New Year, and save some for stewed potatoes later.
Like the pork belly, the pork belly is half marinated in salt, and the salted pork belly is stewed during the Chinese New Year.
She will stew two pig trotters first, and store the other two in the system warehouse until she grows some soybeans next spring, when the pig trotters stew with soybeans will be delicious.
All the fat was boiled into lard, and the lard residue was given to Erlang to share with his friends.
Give each family half a spoonful of lard as a bonus from working for her.
Considering that every household is fleeing famine and at least one of them has not eaten meat for a month, suddenly eating high-fat dishes may cause gastrointestinal discomfort.
Xu Yin asked Li Hua Niang and several other women who came to help her to say that when stewing pork butchers, add some mushrooms and dry the bamboo shoots to absorb the oil.
In addition, she mixed a pot of Erhe batter and then scooped it into the broth to cook the gnocchi.
"Today should be considered as celebrating the successful trial firing of our private kiln!"
Everyone's blood boiled when they heard that Xu Yin had brought back a wild boar and wanted to treat everyone to a meal of butchered vegetables.
Meat!
It can take a few months, or it can take more than half a year. It’s meat that hasn’t been touched!
Meat that I even dream about eating!
"Xu Yingxiong is such a good person!"
"We people are so lucky! We are lucky enough to open up wasteland with our heroic brothers."
"Stop saying anything, I will follow the hero brothers from now on!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"Add me one!"
Before Xu Yin knew it, the victims spontaneously formed a team, and from then on Xu Yin followed his orders.
It was already two days later when she heard about it from Shi Fengnian.
"Everyone said that we have to open up wasteland here for at least three years. It is not good for us to be leaderless during these three years. Therefore, I recommend you, my heroic brother, as the village chief. You are literate and smart. Let's give it a name! It can't be called a deserted village. It's too ugly."
