When Su Weixi woke up in the morning, he found his father making breakfast in the kitchen. His mother was still asleep. His father said that his mother had a nightmare last night.

The father and daughter decided not to bring Su Ma with them when they go up the mountain in the future, as the mountains are full of dangers.

Originally, Su's father did not allow Su Weixi to go into the mountain with him, but Su Weixi believed that he had the space to protect himself, and in times of crisis he could take Su's father with him to hide in the space. Finally, Su's father agreed to his proposal to let Su Weixi go with him if he went up the mountain again.

For breakfast, Dad Su cooked century egg and lean meat porridge, served with two plates of seasonal vegetables and kimchi.

After a simple breakfast, Su's father asked Su Weixi to take out the two wild boars in the space and dealt with them himself.

While Su's father was dealing with the wild boar and Su Weixi was helping, Su's mother woke up, went to the kitchen to get breakfast, and then went to the living room to eat breakfast slowly.

After Su's father cut the pork, he gave it to Su Weixi to deal with it himself, while he took Su's mother to the hot spring to let her relax.

Of course Su Weixi agreed with both hands, because Su Ma was really scared yesterday.

The two wild boars weighed nearly 400 pounds in total, and they could not be eaten all at once. It was also not easy to make bacon in this season, so Su Weixi decided to make most of it into jar meat.

Before making the jar meat, Su Weixi first blanched the two pig heads, pig trotters and pig offal in water separately, and then boiled two pots of braising liquid in two large pots, braising the pig heads and pig trotters in one pot, and the offal in the other pot.

It is impossible to finish it in one meal, but you can braise it and put it in some space, and then take out some and cut it up when you want to eat it.

Seeing that the braised meat alone took up two stoves, I have to admire Su's father's ingenuity. He knew that I would often cook delicious food, so he built four stoves.

Now two pots are used to stew meat. Su Weixi quickly cleans the other two pots and prepares to start making the jar meat. Su Weixi decides to make the Hanyuan jar meat that he learned from a short video in his previous life.

The pork belly had been cut into squares of about 12 cm by Su's father. After cutting, Su Weixi put it in clean water, washed it and set aside.

Su Weixi marinated the pork with salt. Only then did Su Weixi remember that the pork had to be marinated for a day before it could be fried the next day.

Helplessly, Su Weixi could only put two large pots of marinated pork into the space and prepare to continue the next step the next day.

Su Weixi went out to check on the vegetable garden and his chickens, ducks and geese. The vegetable garden was growing well, but some of them were infested with insects.

Su Weixi went back to the house and took out some of the simple homemade insecticide made by her father and watered the vegetable garden.

Because of yesterday's wild boar incident, the family didn't plan to go up the mountain again in the near future. The next day, Su Weixi prepared to continue making jar meat.

Take out the pork that has been marinated for one day and wash it with clean water. After washing, drain the water and set aside.

While draining, Su Weixi used the lard from two pigs and the particularly fatty fat that was removed yesterday to make two pots of lard.

After the lard is refined, the next step is to fry the meat. When the oil temperature is 90% hot, add the drained pork belly. Then turn to low heat and fry for about minutes, until the meat is golden brown.

The purpose of this step is to remove the moisture from the pork belly, thereby creating conditions for long-term preservation of the pork. When the pork chunks can float, they are basically drained.

When the pork is fried until golden brown, take it out and cool it down. At the same time, the lard also needs to cool to room temperature before it can be packaged.

While the raw materials were cooling down, Su Weixi went to the space to find a few jars and washed them. The hundreds of jars that Su Ma had prepared were now put to use again.

After washing the jar, dry it, add a little high-proof liquor into the jar, spread it evenly and then wipe it dry. The purpose of this step is to sterilize it.

Then evenly arrange the cooled pork skin upwards, pour lard into the jar to cover the fried pork, and finally seal the jar after the lard solidifies.

The fried pork will absorb the fat again and become very moist when soaked. If it is not soaked properly, the pork will become dry and hard.

The jar meat was ready, and Su Weixi prepared to make a dish with it.

Cut the potatoes into slices about 2 mm thick and set aside. Wash the potato slices and put them into the pan to fry until cooked and hard. After the potatoes are fried, pour them out and set aside.

Then add appropriate amount of red peppercorns and dried chilies to stir-fry, then add the already fried salted vegetables and stir-fry, then add the fried potato slices and chopped pork and stir-fry evenly.

Because salted vegetables and jar meat have a base flavor, no salt can be added. For seasoning, Su Weixi only needs to add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce to enhance the flavor, stir-fry evenly and then serve.

That night, a home-cooked dish of fried potatoes and meat in a jar was added to the Su family’s dinner table.

It was also when Su Weixi went to the room that was temporarily used as a warehouse to get the jar of meat. Looking at the room filled with a lot of supplies, Su Weixi felt that it was imperative to build a warehouse at home.

The dried bamboo shoots and pickled bamboo shoots that I had collected earlier already took up a lot of space, and then I picked some medicinal herbs.

In addition, the various vegetables planted recently have matured a lot, and Su Weixi and her father and mother made a lot of dried vegetables, so the temporary warehouse is now almost full of space.

So he suggested to Su's father that the warehouse must be built this month, otherwise there would be no place to store the corn and potatoes in the field when they ripened.

Dad Su also agreed with Su Weixi's opinion, so the next day he took Su Weixi to the mountain to chop wood. Dad Su was responsible for chopping, and Su Weixi transported the wood back using the space.

With the help of a handheld tree-cutting chainsaw, Su's father's logging speed was quite good. He cut down enough wood for his needs in one day.

The Su family's warehouse was built in the same building as the house. Building a warehouse is not as complicated as building a house, but it cannot be careless, after all, it is used to store food.

It took Su's father less than half a month to build it. Su Weixi moved all the things that were previously stored in the temporary warehouse to the warehouse.

I thought I could take a rest from now on, but Su Ma told me that the rabbits she raised had become a disaster and asked me whether I planned to kill some of them first or expand the rabbit house.

Su Weixi felt that if he raised too many rabbits, it would only cause his parents to suffer as well. Usually, his parents took care of the rabbit house more.

Su Weixi selected a batch of rabbits and asked his father to help him kill them. He made several large pots of cold rabbits and rabbit heads. Then, in addition to the braised pork, his father now had one more dish to go with his wine.

Even when Su Weixi and Su Ma were using their tablets to watch TV series or movies they had downloaded, they would keep eating.

At this time, Su Weixi particularly admired Su's father's resourcefulness. When stockpiling supplies, he got some battery storage batteries and solar charging panels.

Anyway, the batteries are always fully charged and can be used in turn, so that Su Weixi and Su Ma can always use the tablet to watch TV, movies and novels.

But recently Su Ma has stopped watching these things. She has been busy making clothes.

Because they had killed a batch of rabbits before, Su's father felt it was a pity to throw away the rabbit skins, so he tanned the rabbit skins according to his original body's memory. Now Su's mother is using the rabbit skins and the cloth she had stockpiled before to make winter clothes for the family.
