Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Jiang Li cleared a space in the small house, where Qin Yue placed a brazier, behind which a flock of chickens chattered.

Looking at the flock of chickens, Qin Yue couldn't contain her excitement. She jumped around the chicken coop, drooling over them.

Jiang Li teased, "So close? Don't you find them smelly?"

"Sister Jiang Li, who would complain about chicken smelling bad these days?"

If I had chickens at home, I'd love to sleep next to them.

Qin Yue said exaggeratedly.

"Then when we're ready to hatch chicks, I'll give you a few."

"real?!"

Qin Yue looked at Jiang Li in disbelief, then happily spun around a few times.

"Then I will definitely raise them to be plump and healthy so they can lay eggs for the family."

We brought something in exchange; we agreed we wouldn't give it away for nothing.

Fearing that Jiang Li might suffer a loss, Qin Yue immediately gave him some instructions.

"Alright, come and clean the bear paws first."

Processing bear paws is quite troublesome. The long nails must be removed first, and then the fur on the bear paws must be burned off.

At this moment, a pungent smell of burning protein filled the cabin.

Qin Yue held up stainless steel chopsticks and turned them over the fire, trying to burn every part of the bear paw clean.

Jiang Li drew a basin of water from the well, and Qin Yue threw in a cooked bear paw. The collision of the high temperature and the cold water made a sizzling sound.

Jiang Li picked up a brush and began scrubbing the charred skin on the bear paws, while the water in the basin became warm.

Qin Yue picked up another bear paw and continued roasting the fur.

The two chatted casually, sharing little secrets between girls.

Qin Yu and Ye Jingmo were also busy in the kitchen.

After cleaning the cured meat, Qin Yue cut it into small pieces with a knife.

The cured pork has a layer of transparent fat on top and lean, reddish meat underneath.

You don't even need to add oil when stir-frying this cured pork. Just put it in over high heat and stir-fry it briefly, and the fat on the meat will come out.

When stir-fried with green peppers at this point, the green peppers will absorb the oil and moisture, making the whole dish incredibly flavorful.

Ye Jingmo cut open the cleaned green peppers and removed the seeds.

The spiciness of green peppers mainly comes from the seeds.

After the seeds were removed from the green peppers, only thick pieces of flesh remained. Ye Jingmo used a knife to cut them into pieces.

Jiang Li put the washed bear paws into a basin and returned to the villa with Qin Yue.

She handed the basin to Ye Jingmo and asked him to handle it.

"Sister Jiang Li, we brought some sweet potato starch. It can be used as a staple food."

"I'll put it in a pot and boil it later; it'll taste delicious mixed with the sauce from the steamed bear paw."

Qin Yue thought of something, found the bag she had brought with her on the sofa, took out a bundle of sweet potato starch and handed it to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li then realized that they didn't seem to have prepared any staple food.

Rice and similar foods are not suitable to be brought out, since it's impossible for our family to grow rice and wheat given our circumstances.

The rice I bought outside should have been mostly used up by now, but the rice in my storage space is very new and not suitable for taking out.

She touched the back of her neck, thought for a moment, and then said:

"The corn we planted earlier has just been harvested, and we've ground some cornmeal."

This is a good opportunity to make some cornbread as a main dish; you can eat whichever of the two main dishes you prefer.

Jiang Li took out the corn flour from before, added warm water, stirred it evenly, and kneaded it into a dough.

Qin Yue found it amusing and shyly asked Jiang Li if she could also try rubbing it.

Jiang Li smiled and gave up her seat, then stood aside to instruct Qin Yue on how to knead dough.

After Qin Yue kneaded the dough until it reached the "three smooth" state—smooth in the bowl, smooth in the dough, and smooth in her hands—Jiang Li let the dough rest for a while.

Next, Qin Yue was asked to divide the dough into small portions and then flatten them by hand.

The golden-yellow cornbreads are now ready. Just stick them directly onto the pot and steam until cooked.

On the other side, Ye Jingmo put the marinated bear paw into a steamer, along with shiitake mushrooms, goji berries, and other ingredients.

Steam over low heat. This dish needs to be steamed until it's very soft and tender, so it takes time.

Ye Jingmo did not rest during the intervals between steaming the bear paws.

He put the chopped cured pork into a wok over high heat to render the lard, then threw in sliced ​​green peppers, and a faint spicy aroma wafted from the kitchen into the living room.

Jiang Li and Qin Yue yawned together.

Smelling the aroma in the air, Qin Yue rubbed her stomach, eagerly anticipating the feast to come.
