Chapter 278 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (28)
It rained for three days in a row, 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.
Let’s spare more time to continue burning charcoal, kilns, bricks and tiles, so that every household can live in a strong and warm brick house before the cold winter comes.
Xu Yin saw that the rain had stopped, so she first looked at the ginseng seeds in the germination box.
Of the medicinal seeds that have been soaked and germinated, only baby ginseng has not sprouted.
Other seeds have been sown into the soil some time ago.
For every acre planted, she received 100 energy points, which made her very motivated.
Mosquito meat is still meat no matter how small it is. If there is no 100, how can there be 1,000 or 10,000?
What makes Xu Yin even more delighted is that after three days, the ginseng seeds sprouted!
In this way, we can sow seeds into the soil in time for autumn!
Withstanding the wind, frost and cold in winter, the ginseng seedlings unearthed in the next spring will surely be strong and powerful.
The good mood lasted until noon, when Orion Village came to give her another surprise.
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 cards that had been waiting for a long time. A light-up herbal illustration.
Completely cleared "Chinese Herbal Medicine Illustrated Book".
【Ding! The entire Chinese Herbal Medicine Illustrated Book is illuminated, and a random skill is rewarded—Concealment (non-permanent)]
Xu Yin temporarily ignored the newly arrived random skills, and first settled the herbal medicine money for the three brothers.
“Brother Hero, don’t worry about the money for herbs. We still have to go to the market. We hunted a wild boar yesterday, and I’ve kept this knife and 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 **** meat from the basket, 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.
His bright eyes stared intently at the knife and flesh.
Pork!
Since his father passed away and his brother was drafted into corvee service, he has not been seen again.
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’s never tastier than pickles!
Xu Yin looked at Erlang's hungry wolf-like 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, how much do you usually get for selling them at the market? My family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and it's almost winter. The weather has cooled down, so if you can't finish eating all the cured bacon, it's a good idea 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 exchanged them for a bag of white silver to go home.
Xu Yin gave them thirty taels.
Twelve taels is the money for pork, and twenty taels is 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 turned out to be a natural bezoar.
Bezoar is a medicinal material, but why is it 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.
Just recently, the old scalper in their village died of illness, and every household lined up to divide the meat and organs.
He Laosan remembered what the doctor said and asked for this thing. Otherwise, Xu Yin might not be able to guess it for several lifetimes.
According to her, twenty taels are missing!
But the three brothers of the He family felt that even twenty taels were too hot to handle. At first they refused to accept it at all, but Xu Yin persuaded them to accept it on the grounds that "I won't accept your herbs in the future."
More, please pay them back when you have the opportunity to help them in the future.
There was an extra pig in the house, and it was a big wild boar with a net weight of 300 kilograms. Erlang was excited and happy but also worried.
“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 started to pick up the pork and look at it excitedly.
I smelled the smell of wild boar meat at a close distance, and my little face wrinkled like a little old man: "It smells really bad! Why does the meat taste so delicious!"
“It tastes good when it’s cooked well!”
Xu Yin raised her knife and cut into two large fans of pork.
“The pig head meat will be stewed in a while and divided among everyone, and then the pig meat will be stewed. 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!"
Erlang finished speaking and ran out of the house.
Xu Yin broke down the remaining meat.
Leave half of the pork belly for salting; cut the other half into three-finger-wide strips, about a dozen strips, and give them back to Chen Mancang and the others.
The burning of charcoal and the kiln were all supported by these strong and responsible laborers, so that she could concentrate on growing herbs.
Save some of the pork 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 salted and is eaten as salty pork belly during the Chinese New Year.
Two pig trotters will be stewed for now, and the other two will be stored in the system warehouse until next spring when she grows some soybeans, the pig trotters will be stewed with soybeans and will be delicious.
All the fat was boiled into lard, and the lard residue was given to Erlang to share with his friends.
Hand out half a spoonful of lard to each family as a benefit 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 simmering the butchered vegetables, add some mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots to soak up the oil.
In addition, she mixed a pot of Erhe batter and then scooped it into the broth to cook gnocchi.
“Today should be a celebration of 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 eat butchered vegetables.
Meat!
The meat has not been touched for a few months or for more than half a year!
Meat that I even dream of 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 will open up wasteland here for at least three years. It is not enough to be leaderless during these three years, so 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."
…”
What? Let her be the village chief?
