Chapter 531 Dealing with the Prey (2)
Although they said they were leaving, the elders still helped clean up the animal's internal organs and filled the water tanks with water before leaving.
The elders had already left, and Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were fighting a wild boar, so they didn't pay any attention to their side. Liu Jingxue began to cheat with her spiritual sense, and in just over an hour, she had dealt with and dismembered all five sika deer.
At this time, the two men had finally peeled off the two large wild boar skins completely and were hanging the wild boars upside down to cut open their stomachs.
Liu Jingxue looked at the pig skin they peeled off. Although it didn't look good, fortunately it was not torn and was still intact.
Looking at the many animal viscera in the basins on the ground, the wild goats’ organs had been processed by the elders, but those of the wild boars and sika deer had not yet been processed.
To be honest, Liu Jingxue was not afraid of handling prey, but she really didn't like handling animal organs, especially turning out the intestines. Before, she had always handled it in the space with her mind, but now in front of the two of them, she couldn't put it back into the space.
But to be honest, she just couldn't get over the psychological barrier of having to turn over her intestines herself.
She rolled her eyes and said to Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, "Cut up the meat of a big wild boar is different from cut up the meat of a small wild boar. I will handle one and you learn how to do it, and I will leave the other to you.
But time is tight now. After the meat is decomposed, we still have to marinate all the meat and bones.
You guys can get one person to learn from me first, and the other one can go and clean the animal's internal organs.
Especially the intestines, which need to be turned inside out and cleaned, and both sides need to be scrubbed repeatedly with wood ash to make sure there is no trace of residue left. "
Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao stared at each other when they heard this.
Just now, they saw Wang Xiulan processing the internal organs of wild goats and wild boars in the yard. It was so sour.
Now it's their turn.
“Although these internal organs are a bit dirty, they are delicious, even better than meat. Grandpa Wu and Grandpa Zou like to eat them with wine.
If you don’t do it, they will ask about it tomorrow.” Liu Jingxue threatened.
"Haozi, rock, scissors, paper, whoever loses will have to deal with the internal organs." Zhou Mingxuan said gritting his teeth.
Zhao Junhao slumped his shoulders and said dejectedly, "Okay."
In the end, Zhou Mingxuan won and Zhao Junhao lost.
Zhao Junhao still had a strong sense of playfulness. He accepted defeat and went to clean up his internal organs. Liu Jingxue and Zhou Mingxuan were left there laughing.
Liu Jingxue first demonstrated by processing half of the wild boar, and then Zhou Mingxuan took over, while she gave instructions from the side.
By the time the two men had dismembered the two wild boars, Zhao Junhao was still struggling with the internal organs.
Seeing that the two had finished, and looking at the several intestines waiting to be cleaned at their feet, Zhao Junhao said to them, "Now that you two have finished, come and help with this.
Finish this so we can marinate the meat later.
Finish it soon and go back to rest soon."
"Brother Zhou, go and help me. I'll go fetch some water. I think there's not enough water in the tank."
"Let me fetch some water. It's dark outside and it's not safe for a girl like you." Thinking about what was in the pile of intestines, Zhou Mingxuan and Liu Jingxue started competing for the job of fetching water.
“I feel like if I go out, it’s others who are unsafe, not me.
Besides, I am stronger than you." Liu Jingxue refused.
Zhou Mingxuan lowered his voice and said, "Xiaoxue, I was wondering why you were instructing me to disassemble a wild boar. Disassembling a big boar is no different from disassembling a small boar. Their body structures are not the same.
So you said that because you don’t want to upset yourself.”
"If we don't say it out loud, we can still be friends."
"You dislike it, and I dislike it too." Zhou Mingxuan frowned.
Liu Jingxue said angrily, "You two are good brothers, and good brothers should share happiness and difficulties.
Besides, I'm a girl, how can you let me do that?"
Zhou Mingxuan was a little hesitant.
Seeing the two standing there without moving and still whispering something, Zhao Junhao urged, "Why don't you two come over here? What are you still talking about?"
Feeling embarrassed to call Liu Jingxue, Zhao Junhao shouted, "Mingxuan, come over and help. We still have a few sets of intestines. Come quickly."
Liu Jingxue was delighted and said to Zhou Mingxuan, "Don't you see your good brother is calling you? Why don't you hurry over there?"
"You two are in the same group and are deliberately trying to trick me." After Zhou Mingxuan said this, he could only bite the bullet and go about his business.
Finally, she didn’t have to deal with the intestines herself, so Liu Jingxue hurried to fetch water.
After filling the water tank again, she was not idle either, and prepared to make braised food.
All the meat, bones and internal organs that can be pickled can be pickled, and you can also make some braised food to eat in the next two days.
Her great aunt's secret marinade has been passed on to her, which are all traditional Chinese medicines. She has a lot of them in her space. Now that she doesn't need hot water, it's just right for making a pot of marinade.
You can also stew a few pots in the space and save them for later consumption.
By the time Liu Jingxue had prepared the marinade and put all kinds of marinade ingredients into the pot to slowly simmer, the two people in charge of cleaning the intestines were almost done.
"Xiaoxue, you have been busy in the kitchen for a long time and brought so much meat, bones, and internal organs. What are you busy with?" Zhao Junhao asked curiously.
"We're stewing meat. We've got so much meat. We should eat it to our heart's content."
"You know what, I just ate some dry food in the mountains and I feel a little hungry." Zhou Mingxuan said.
"Wait a little longer. In about forty minutes, the ones that are easy to cook will be ready to eat. Then we can have a midnight snack and fill our stomachs.
There is so much meat and bones to marinate, and it is very busy.”
After all the internal organs were cleaned and put away, the aroma of meat could be smelled from the kitchen.
"It smells so good. It makes me hungry." Zhao Junhao sniffed hard and drooled.
“It’s not flavorful yet, it needs to be simmered for a while longer.
After cleaning these pig heads, they should be ready to eat.
When this pot is ready, we will braise the pig's head in the next pot."
After the three of them cleaned the pig's head and cut it into pieces, they ate the braised meat happily as a midnight snack.
"I feel like I'm alive again, full of strength and can continue to work."
“Then get on with it, there’s so much meat and bones, and we haven’t even started pickling them yet.
The meat has cooled down now, so we can start pickling it.”
The meat had already been processed and cut into strips, perfect for marinating.
She taught the two the ratio of meat to salt. Considering that it was their first time to marinate meat and they couldn't grasp the amount of salt, Liu Jingxue also specially prepared a scale and a homemade simple measuring cup for them.
The first pot of braised meat was ready, so Liu Jingxue took the time to braise another pot.
By the time the three of them had finished pickling the meat and bones, it was already past five in the morning. In more than half an hour, the first work whistle would be blown.
Looking at the several jars full of pickled meat and bones in the yard, the three of them felt a great sense of accomplishment.
"After a busy night, I finally finished it."
"Shall we carry these jars of meat to the cellar?" Zhou Mingxuan suggested.
Liu Jingxue hurriedly stopped them. After the two left, she was going to put it into the space. No matter where she put it, it would not be safer in the space.
“No, I’ll just move it to the kitchen later. After it’s been pickled for a few days, I’ll have to take it out to dry. If I put it in the cellar, I’ll have to take it out again. It’s too much trouble.
I don’t usually have many people coming here, so it won’t be discovered if I put it in the kitchen.”
"Then let us help carry it over, saving you the trouble of doing it alone."
"Forget it, you have been busy since yesterday afternoon, aren't you tired?
I'm tired anyway and don't want to move, so I'll do it later.
I can move it by myself, I don’t need you.”
"Grandpa Wu and his friends are about to get up for work. Bring them a large basin and serve them some braised meat. They can just add some noodles and have the braised meat for breakfast.
For lunch and dinner, you only need to have some vegetables.
Then give them the remaining fresh organs, meat and bones.
After you serve them, you two should also take a large basin back, and take some fresh ones back, and leave a little of each for me, I can’t eat much by myself, and if I leave too much, it might go bad.”
"Row."
After the two of them came back from delivering the things to the cowshed, they picked up their things and prepared to go back. The villagers were about to get up, and if they didn't leave quickly, they were afraid of being discovered with so many things.
After they left, Liu Jingxue closed the gate, put everything in the house and yard into the space, cast a few cleaning talismans, cleaned the yard and the house carefully, and then flashed into the space.
