Chapter 360 A wise woman is paired with Huang Xing to farm (19)
Simon and his team hunted a black-skinned insect beast (pig), two large horned insect beasts (cows), and a small horned insect beast (sheep) this time. They returned with a full load and could at least survive the entire cold season.
What's more, in the past, we were worried about not being able to grab supply packs and nutrient solutions. Now everyone is busy clearing land for natural ingredients and no longer grab supply packs. Everyone can receive their own share of supplies, even if they don't come to hunt for insects and beasts. Life goes on.
They will definitely stop coming to hunt before this happens.
Not to mention the many dangers in the Insect Beast Forest, the insect meat has a strong fishy smell and is much more unpalatable than the nutrient solution. However, since learning the correct cooking techniques such as braising, roasting, and pickling from Xu Yin, I have lost interest in the nutrient solution. .
Natural ingredients with insects and animal meat. What are the nutrients?
I'm even very lucky that the supervision office can't see the situation here, otherwise I'm afraid the exiled prisoners would be collectively driven to another deserted star, and it would be up to them to enjoy it!
“Hero, the natural ingredients you grow near Kenhuan Lake, if you peel them off into such small pieces, can they really satisfy your hunger?”
On the way home, Kaxiu munched on his brother's fragrant roasted sweet potatoes as he walked. Thinking that such a delicious food was not ranked first among the natural staple foods, he couldn't help but ask Xu Yin curiously.
After what he said, Xu Yin remembered that she had harvested more than 20 acres of rice and wheat before setting off.
At that time, she was in a hurry to go to the salt water lake, and after shelling, she kept it in the system warehouse. Card Xiu didn't ask, and she really didn't think about it for a while.
“I’ll cook a meal for you to try tonight.”
When setting up camp that night, she steamed a pot full of white rice, cut a strip of prepared black pork belly, and stewed a pot of Dongpo pork that was as colored as agate, soft but not rotten, glutinous but not greasy.
White rice with Dongpo pork and a portion of boiled rapeseed. Today’s dinner was a feast for everyone.
“I didn’t expect that insect meat tastes so good when stewed like this! It’s so fragrant and delicious!”
“This staple food called rice is indeed more delicious than sweet potatoes and potatoes! It’s soft and waxy, and it’s so comfortable to eat!”
Xu Yin nodded in agreement.
She hasn’t eaten Dongpo pork for a long time, otherwise she wouldn’t think of the fat black pig when she saw it.
This meal was the most satisfying meal she had since arriving on the Exile Star.
As a true southerner, the staple food is indeed rice!
“Hero, can we grow this rice?” Simon asked.
"sure!"
Xu Yin thought for a while and said: "After you go back, you can count how many people are willing to plant and come to me to get the seeds. However, the methods of planting rice and wheat are different. You should have seen that the rice fields need to be planted. Water is released, so it’s best to plant along the pit and around the lake.”
Even if she plans to build a waterwheel, it is more convenient to be closer to the water source.
Simon solemnly thanked her.
Xu Yin waved her hand: "It's nothing, it's better if everyone can plant it."
Everyone has food to eat and everyone is full, so they won’t worry about what’s in other people’s bowls.
Simon and others returned to the base camp with this good news, and almost everyone came to sign up enthusiastically.
Xu Yin taught everyone how to make rice and simple pasta, and asked them which one they wanted to grow, or both.
Everyone agreed that rice was delicious and simple, but pasta was too complicated to make. Moreover, Kahn said that pasta can be made after roasting the red fruit pulp, so they gave up on wheat.
Xu Yin did not force them and distributed rice seeds to them based on statistical data.
But it’s too late this year, and we have to wait until after the cold season to plant.
After finishing this busy work, Xu Yin thought that she could finally rest for a few days.
Kahn ran over and asked: "Brother Hero, how do you make the sweet and sour garlic you mentioned? The garlic in my house is full of garlic!"
Xu Yin: “…”
It seems that in this life, she has a life of hard work.
“Let’s go! I’ll teach you how to do it.”
As the cold season is coming, let’s make Laba Garlic!
“Laba garlic? What is that?”
Kahn, who finally understood sweet, sour and garlic, looked confused.
What can Xu Yin do? If you start it yourself, you have to learn all the science.
"Laba garlic is a kind of garlic side dish made before winter. It is green. The sweet and sour garlic I told you last time is white. The taste of the two is also different. Sweet and sour garlic is sweet, while Laba garlic is sour. …”
Speaking of sweet and sour, is sugar cane ready to be grown? If we plant grain next year, can we also brew vinegar?
After thinking about it, a lot of things came up.
Xu Yin: “…”
It is not difficult to make sweet and sour garlic and Laba garlic. If you have garlic and sweet and sour garlic, you can get started.
Kahn looked at the jars of soaked sweet and sour garlic and laba garlic, and thought it was amazing: "Is this enough? Will you be able to eat it soon?" "Yes, curious baby." Xu Yin rubbed his head, "Don't always open it and look at it. Be patient and you can eat it when winter comes."
Kahn was about to open the jar and take another look: "..."
With a sneer, he took back his hand.
After teaching Kahn, Xu Yin took the two jars of garlic she demonstrated home and put them in the corner of the storage room so that they could be eaten in the cold season.
“Brother Hero.” Meng Qi came to ask her, “Are you coming to this year’s trade fair?”
“When will the trade fair take place?” Xu Yin asked.
“Before the cold season. Let’s buy some things that you don’t have and others have so that you can survive the cold season.”
But that was before.
This year, they will follow Brother Yingxiong to grow natural ingredients, and they will definitely be able to survive the cold season.
Xu Yin said she would definitely participate.
After Meng Qi left, she sorted out the supplies she had stored and took out some of each type, planning to take them to the fair to exchange with everyone.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the trade fair arrived.
Xu Yin and Kahn and their group went to the trading place.
Seeing her, everyone rushed forward:
“Hero, I’ll trade with you!”
“Hero, take a look at my things and see if there is anything you like.”
"hero,…"
Xu Yin was confused: "What's going on?"
Kahn answered her questions: "They all want to trade with you, Brother Hero."
“But what I trade are mainly natural ingredients. Many of them have grown them, right?”
“They think the natural ingredients grown by Brother Hero are delicious.”
…”
In the end, because everyone wanted to trade with Xu Yin first, they simply lined up in a long line, laid out their supplies, and let Xu Yin look at them one by one. If they liked it, they would change it.
Xu Yin suddenly had a strange feeling. She asked Kahn quietly: "Do we look like an emperor who chooses a concubine?"
Kahn looked confused: "What is the emperor?"
…”
Instantly lost interest in gossip.
Forget it, let’s pick something.
After going around, she spotted a few gadgets with some interstellar characteristics on several stalls, including anti-electricity catching gloves that lacked some functions, broken energy **** that could absorb radiation, and second-hand light pens that resembled pens...
Some of these things were brought in secretly by the owner, and some were in the supply bag.
Those mean-spirited staff at the supervision office will break their flashlights and cut their tents when they are in a bad mood, and they will stuff extra items into their supply bags when they are in a good mood.
As for nutritional solutions and medical kits, Xu Yin had exchanged a lot with them before, so this time she picked a few distinctive ones, which might be useful in the future.
Adhering to the principle of equal exchange, she took out several distinctive natural food seeds for the other party to choose from.
The other party was flattered: "Thank you, brother hero."
Others regretted not hiding anything in the first place.
The one who regrets the most is Ka Xiu: "It would be great if my space button is still there!"
At this year's trade fair, the transaction volume exceeded any previous year because everyone had more supplies on hand. Thanks to Xu Yin, everyone had saved enough supplies for the winter.
There are fewer cases of robberies and robbery.
Everyone’s life is about the same. What you have is what I have.
Xu Yin, who has the richest net worth, and her strength, who dares to rob her? Don't you want to die?
Secondly, those who are timid are not stupid. They move out when they encounter robbers. Xu Yin said: "You dare to rob me? I will tell Xu Yingxiong! Brother Yingxiong hates people who get something for nothing. I will definitely not give you natural ingredients next year." Seeds, I won’t let you grow natural ingredients! Think about it, if you rob me of this little thing and lose the right to receive next year’s allotment, is this a good deal?”
Of course it’s not cost-effective!
And maybe, he will be beaten up by Xu Yingxiong.
In this way, unlike the trepidation and panic at this time in previous years, this year's exiled star still shows the tranquility of the years before winter.
