Farming in the Beast World: I Lead the Orphan Beast Husband to Become Rich
Chapter 35: Black Plum Stew
Although the process of making jerky is long and tiring, fortunately the result is gratifying!
Maybe it was because the meat of these giant beasts was of very good quality, but Lin Xi felt that the jerky she baked this time was the most delicious jerky she had ever eaten!
Especially the meat jerky that was seasoned with kohlrabi, which was fragrant, spicy, and chewy. It was oily but not too dry to chew, and you can even eat it as a snack!
Even Wu Chen, who usually looked calm and composed, ate a lot while the food was being roasted.
As a result, the two of them ate too much dried meat and were too full at night so they didn't have any dinner.
Because they were making jerky, the two of them slept very late the night before, which meant that when they woke up the next day, it was already afternoon!
When Lin Xi woke up, the first thing he felt was that the air had become much colder.
She squeezed in the direction of Wu Chen.
Perhaps because they are cats, the orcs' body temperature has always been much higher than Lin Xi's.
Lin Xi couldn't help but put her cold feet on Wu Chen's warm thighs. The sleeping orc's muscles instantly tensed up, and he let out an uncomfortable sound from his throat: "Woo~"
Lin Xi couldn't help but smile.
The next moment, she felt the orc in front of her approaching her, and then she was embraced in this warm embrace that had become extremely familiar to her.
The kang beneath them was still warm. Lin Xi and Wu Chen snuggled under the warm animal skin blanket. Their brains were gradually becoming clearer, but neither of them wanted to get up.
After a long while, in the dark cave, Lin Xi's soft voice, who had just woken up, suddenly rang out: "Wu Chen, is it raining?"
After Lin Xi asked, Wu Chen pricked up his ears and listened for a while before answering, "Well, it's raining heavily and it's very cold outside today. Xixi needs to wear that thick animal skin coat."
Wu Chen knew that Lin Xi had already made several sets of thick clothes for herself and him, just to wear in winter.
After hearing Wu Chen's answer, Lin Xi also pricked up her ears and listened for a long time, but unfortunately the wooden boards of the window were very thick and she could not hear anything.
So she lay there for a while, then got up and put on her clothes.
Since the cabinet has not been built yet, Lin Xi has folded all the clothes, blankets and animal skins in the house and placed them at the innermost part of the kang.
She dug out a set of animal skin clothes from the pile of clothes. She didn't make this set of clothes into a skirt, but into a round-neck top and suspender pants.
Because she was not sure about the cutting style of the clothes, Lin Xi simply made all the clothes loose-fitting.
Then I deliberately tightened the cuffs of the clothes and the trouser legs, so that when the weather is cold, I don’t have to worry about the cold wind blowing in through the wide cuffs and trouser legs.
After putting on his own clothes, Lin Xi got a pair of shoes and a vest for Wu Chen, which he had also made in advance.
The temperature has dropped. Although orcs are not afraid of the cold, it does not mean they will not feel cold!
Lin Xi put the clothes next to Wu Chen's pillow. Wu Chen still looked a little sleepy because he had slept too late last night. Lin Xi couldn't help but touch the orc's furry, chubby little ears on his head to stop Wu Chen from getting up.
"You don't have to go out today. I can make dinner myself. You go back to sleep. I'll see how heavy the rain is outside!"
After hearing Lin Xi's words, Wu Chen hesitated for a moment before relaxing and burying his face in the quilt again.
Lin Xi had discovered long ago that Wu Chen actually loved to sleep, probably because of the nature of cats. When he was free, he would stay by Lin Xi's side and would always stay still until he fell asleep without realizing it.
If he went to bed a little late one day, he would be very lazy the next day! Even if he remembered to get up to make breakfast for Lin Xi, after breakfast, as long as he found a chance, he would lie back on the kang and take a nap.
After calming Wu Chen down, Lin Xi put on his shoes, walked to the window, and opened a tiny gap in the window.
The light coming in from outside was not bright, but at least the cave was no longer pitch black.
Then she walked to the door and opened it.
In an instant, a cool breeze mixed with moisture blew in my face!
Outside the cave, the rain was heavy like a curtain. The gray sky seemed to have a hole in it, and the rain was pouring down onto the ground.
The forest in the distance was blocked by the rain and could no longer be seen clearly.
Even the shacks on the hillside seemed small and fragile.
Another gust of cold wind blew by, Lin Xi shrank his shoulders and closed the door.
Back in the cave, she first walked to the fireplace and lit the fireplace near the kang.
Because he knew it was going to rain, Lin Xi prepared a lot of processed firewood in the cave early in the morning to avoid having no firewood to burn when it rained.
When the fireplace was lit up, the red flames illuminated a large area of the cave.
Lin Xi filled a fruit shell with water, took it to the fireplace, placed it on the edge of the fireplace, and let the fire slowly heat the water.
The drinking cup was dug out from the leg bone of a giant beast.
The leaves of the bitter gourd tree picked two days ago have been roasted by Lin Xi into a large jar of bitter gourd leaf tea.
Lin Xi took out a little, put it in the bone cup, and waited for the water to boil before drinking it.
Then she went to the stove and prepared to cook dinner.
There was a piece of unprocessed giant beast meat left over from yesterday at home. I had intended to save it for dinner and this morning, but I didn’t cook either last night or this morning.
Lin Xi took out the two pieces of meat, thought about it, and decided to try making stew today.
She first lit the fire under the stove, then filled the fruit shell pot with water and blanched the meat.
After frying the meat, take it out and set it aside, pour out the water, and then add oil to the pan.
The oil used for cooking was made from the meat of the brown bear when she first arrived here, and it is now almost gone.
Lin Xi thought that when Bai Nu sent another giant beast over, he would choose two from the new giant beasts to make oil.
After the oil in the pot was hot, Lin Xi threw the giant beast meat directly into the pot and began to stir-fry. When the skin turned golden brown, he put five leaves of water chestnut in it.
Wu Chen can't eat spicy food, so she didn't add too much.
Then add sour fruits that taste similar to black plums. Lin Xi remembered that in modern times, there was a time when black plum spareribs were very popular on the Internet. She had always wanted to try it, but unfortunately she was too lazy to do it at that time. She didn't expect to make it now!
After adding all the ingredients, cover the pot and start stewing.
Lin Xi found a piece of wood, put it under his butt as a cushion, sat in front of the stove, added fire, and peeled a small bowl of purple fruit.
These purple fruits can be added when the meat is almost cooked.
The flame in the stove was so strong that the face of the person being roasted began to feel hot.
Lin Xi stood up and opened the window above the stove to let the outside air in.
This window is symmetrical with the one on the kang. It was dug by Lin Xi and Wu Chenhou after the stove was built.
After the window was opened, the moisture from the rain outside the cave gradually seeped in, spreading on my body, making me feel inexplicably comfortable.
At this moment, there was some movement in the direction of the kang.
Lin Xi turned her head and saw Wu Chen had just sat up from the bed, looking at her with a pair of bright eyes!
Wu Chen, who had a good sleep, immediately regained his energy.
He walked over, stretched as he walked, and then immediately took over Lin Xi's job of making fire.
An enticing aroma gradually wafted out of the pot. Wu Chen, who had a keen sense of smell, squatted behind the stove and couldn't help but take a look at the covered pot every few seconds.
Finally, Lin Xi felt that the time was almost up and took off the lid of the pot. Immediately, a strong aroma of stewed meat filled his nose!
Lin Xi even felt that the smell of this pot of food was no different from the aromas he had smelled in restaurants before!
But it cannot be eaten yet. Wait until the white steam in the pot dissipates, then Lin Xi puts the peeled purple fruit into the pot, and pours in the washed salty stones, stirring it a few times with a shovel.
At this moment, she was surprised to find that the meat in the pot was slightly red.
This sour fruit can actually add color to dishes?
Lin Xi was pleasantly surprised!
Although it doesn’t matter whether the dish has color or not, as long as it tastes good, I have to admit that this colorful stew looks more appetizing than the white stew with oil on it!
Soon, almost ten minutes later, Lin Xi finally lifted the lid of the pot again. This time, the aroma of food, even stronger than before, instantly filled the entire cave.
The stewed meat has absorbed its juice and the purple fruits inside are very soft. They melt like potatoes when touched with a spatula.
There was a pot of stewed meat. Lin Xi served himself a medium-sized fruit shell and put the rest into a large fruit shell, which he handed to Wu Chen, intending that the two of them would eat it directly from the bowl!
Lin Xi temporarily arranged the dining area to be in the area directly opposite the cave entrance.
The table was a simple wooden table that Lin Xi made using the leftover bricks from the stove and a row of tied-up wooden rafts.
Because the stone bricks were laid very low, they could only sit on the ground to eat. Lin Xi also made two thick cushions, one for himself and one for Wu Chen, to put under their buttocks.
At this time, the sky outside was a little darker than when Lin Xi just got up.
It looks like it's already evening!
The heavy rain was still falling, but the fires in the two fireplaces in the cave were bright, and the orange light made the cave warm.
Lin Xi and Wu Chen didn't say anything at this time.
The food in hand is really delicious!
Or maybe it was because they slept too long and were too hungry. In any case, the two of them were particularly satisfied with the meal tonight.
The purple-skinned fruit is stewed very softly, and it has a slight sweetness of chestnuts. It feels completely different from eating it roasted.
The stewed giant beast meat is very tender, even boneless, with a fruity sweet and sour taste that is completely immersed in the meat. When you take a bite, there is a faint spicy taste that hooks your lips and tongue, stimulating your appetite.
Because this is considered a staple meal, Lin Xi did not put a lot of salt stone, so it would not feel too salty if you eat too much.
Lin Xi felt that this was the most successful meal she had made since she came here.
After finishing a bowl of meat, she still felt it was not enough, so she took a few more pieces from Wu Chen's big bowl.
And Wu Chen seemed very satisfied with the meal.
He was now very skilled in using chopsticks and could pick up a piece of meat accurately.
He swung his long tail behind him and looked at Lin Xi eagerly: "Xixi, today's stew is delicious, you teach me how to make it tomorrow!"
When Lin Xi heard this, of course he had no objection and nodded in agreement: "Okay!"
