Chapter 108 Stewed Rabbit

I felt that it would be ready to be cooked for another ten minutes or so. Ten minutes is just enough time to steam a pot of buns. So I put a rack on top, placed the buns on it, and then put the lid on the pot.

While waiting for the food inside to cook, Yunxi felt a bit idle. However, she had made several sets of clothes for herself recently, including several sets of school clothes.

I was also a little reluctant to continue making them, and besides, I had already bought the cotton quilts and mattresses I needed for winter, so I didn't need to start making them slowly.

The only thing missing was a cotton-padded coat for winter, but it was too early to prepare it now, and besides, she didn't want to do any sewing right now, so she hadn't even touched it.

I glanced at the things in my space. I decided to leave the hawthorns I had just picked in my space and eat them fresh. There weren't many, only about ten or twenty pounds.

The only thing that bothered me was the pile of kudzu roots in the space. Although I had already taken some and put them in the empty room over there, there were still a lot left in the space.

I feel a bit uneasy about not turning it into powder.

Without hesitation, he took out all the kudzu roots and washed them clean by the well.

All the washed kudzu roots were piled together, and there was quite a lot of them, probably around 1000 jin (500 catties).

Yunxi thought she was really amazing, having dug so much all by herself on the mountain. She figured she could dig even more if she went deeper into the mountains.

Yunxi was busy all morning, but it was worth it, at least all the buns were steamed.

Looking at the thousands of buns in the space, I felt quite accomplished, and I also boasted to myself that I was really capable.

All the kudzu roots were ground into a paste, and all the large water vats in the space were taken out, but it still felt like there weren't enough to hold them all.

In the end, we had to separate all the fish and meat that we had stored in the tank before we could empty the tank. We also used several wooden basins the size of bathtubs to fill them all up.

Besides the area for drying mushrooms, the yard was already filled with all sorts of containers for kudzu root juice.

It seems I shouldn't open the door for the next two days. If I do, it would be too shocking for anyone passing by.

After everything was done, it was already past lunchtime. Looking at my watch, it was already 1:30. When you're busy, you really don't notice the passage of time.

It was so late that Yunxi didn't want to make lunch again, so she just filled a bowl with millet porridge, and then put a rice ball and a pickled cowpea bun on a plate.

I originally wanted to add a little sugar to the millet porridge, but then I thought that the rice balls and the pickled cowpea buns were salty and spicy, and that they would go a bit out of place with a bowl of sweet millet porridge.

In the end, I had no choice but to give up the white sugar and just eat it like this.

Actually, she had just realized that she hadn't prepared any side dishes. If she had a variety of side dishes to go with rice, it would be especially delicious to eat with porridge.

Quickly write it down in your mental notebook; you absolutely cannot forget any side dishes that go well with rice.

While eating my late lunch, I started thinking again about what side dishes I should make.

Thinking of the contents of my popular cookbook: diced radish, dried radish, hot and sour cabbage?

They don't seem to have any special features. These are the kinds of food that people in the village usually eat, with dried radish being the most common.

They dry a whole year's worth of food, so the quantity is just too much. But because they make so much, it doesn't taste very good, including the food my grandma used to make.

To put it bluntly, it's because they're reluctant to use various seasonings, oil, salt, and other such ingredients, so even if the ingredients are of high quality, the taste of the finished product is not very good.

However, I think I'm sure I'll be generous with all the good stuff, so when I make all sorts of side dishes this year, they'll definitely taste especially delicious.

That's the confidence I have.

After finishing his meal, he went to the back to collect some eggs and then went straight inside.

I put the eggs I collected directly into my space. Last time I cooked more than 100 at once and still haven't finished them. Lately, I've been frying eggs every day, at least three and at most four. I usually manage to collect four, so I've stored up a lot of eggs again.

Even though I used a lot of chive and egg buns yesterday, I still have dozens of eggs in my storage space.

She hopes that her designated compartment will be completely filled with eggs, which would give her a great sense of accomplishment.

However, it's probably impossible this year. But if I raise more chickens next year, it might be possible.

In the afternoon, Yunxi stopped making various foods and instead focused on preparing herself. After all, she had to go to school tomorrow, so she needed to take good care of herself.

I boiled several large pots of water and gave myself a thorough wash, not forgetting to clean my hair as well.

To improve her dry hair, Yunxi often sought out plants that were good for hair, extracting their essence to use as shampoo.

I must say, the effect is quite good. At least now my hair doesn't look malnourished or yellowish anymore.

Even the hair that grows out is particularly black and shiny, and it feels like each new hair is thicker. This is the effect of taking care of your hair.

My hair only reaches my chest now. Except for the newly grown hair which is slightly better, the rest of my hair is not very pretty.

Yunxi hoped her long hair would grow faster so she could cut off the unsightly parts at the front, which were really affecting her appearance.

After washing and cleaning myself, I saw that there was still a lot of firewood in the stove, and I felt a sense of waste.

I had hunted so many wild rabbits, but I had never eaten them before. So I started stewing the rabbits in a pot. After blanching and stir-frying them, I added the spices and a little extra water, and then let them simmer slowly on their own.

At least the pot couldn't be left empty. As for whether other people would smell it, Yunxi didn't care.

Cook a large batch at once, a big pot full, and eat it several times. Anyway, it's not like the smell will spread out often, so even if others smell it, they won't think much of it.

Yunxi moved a stool to the middle of the yard, dried her hair, and took out scissors to trim her nails and toenails.
