Chapter 86: Leaving Orange Seeds
There are many side dishes in the pig-killing dish. Wenxi poured all the pig-killing dishes from everyone into the pot, and added potatoes, radishes and cabbage, stewing a full pot that smelled very fragrant.
The people responsible for preparing the pig-killing dish are the aunties in the team. They are responsible for preparing the pig-killing dish every year and their skills have long been perfected. Although there are no seasonings, it is so delicious that makes people drool.
Wen Xi also made the meat that Tian Shengnan brought into braised pork and stewed potatoes, and also stir-fried a dish of yellow heart cabbage and a dish of wild vegetables.
She would go up the mountain every morning, and when she came back she would bring back a basket of wild vegetables. There wasn't much else at home, except for the wild vegetables.
The food was served and six people sat around the table. Each of them ate a large bowl of hot pig-killing dish first, finishing most of the pig-killing dish in the pot, and then began to eat.
Wen Xi held the bowl and chopsticks and said while eating, "Tian Shengnan, if so many of you are eating together for the New Year's Eve dinner, something will definitely happen. After all, there are too many restless people. If the three of you are willing, you can eat with us and stay away from their conflicts."
Nie Xiulan and Liang Zhaodi have both married and moved out, but Xu Huaying and Chu Waner are still living there. Who knows what they will do in order to show themselves in front of gay men?
If you can't fight, can't you hide?
"Is it okay?" Tian Shengnan looked at Wen Xi excitedly.
Wen Xi nodded, "As long as everyone works together to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner like we did today, it will be fine. If you push everything to me, that won't work. After all, I'm not your babysitter, and you didn't pay me."
Tian Shengnan nodded happily, "Then I'll see if I can buy meat or chicken, duck, or goose when I go to the market, so I can add a dish to the New Year's Eve dinner."
Song Lan and Zhou Bai also nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, we will go and take a look as well and help out when the time comes."
Wen Xi said, "You guys give it a try, and do your best. Don't force it. Even without these things, we can still have a good New Year."
Anyway, I have free things in my hands, such as fish and wild vegetables, so I can have as much as I want. And then add radishes, cabbage, potatoes and other things, and a New Year's Eve dinner can be easily put together.
The most important thing in this era is to have enough to eat, not to eat well. Even city dwellers cannot eat well. Most people eat mostly vegetarian dishes. They can only eat meat a few times a month, and still not be satisfied. After all, one pound of meat is shared by the whole family, and it is not easy for one person to eat two pieces.
When Wenxi was at home, every time they cooked meat, they would share it equally between you and me after it was cooked, so that everyone could eat almost the same amount of meat. It was not like other families, where the little meat was given to men and boys, as if women and girls did not need to grow.
Wenxi feels very happy to be born in such a loving family, but she doesn't know how the eldest sister, who is an outlier, came into being.
In other families, the eldest child is responsible for raising the younger siblings, but Wenxi was raised by the second oldest brother, and the eldest sister was not allowed to get involved at all. In other words, the eldest sister did not take on much responsibility, so she did not understand why the eldest sister was so hostile to her, and there was no throne to inherit in the family.
Today the team slaughtered the New Year pig and made pig-killing dishes. The whole harvest team was filled with the aroma of meat. After everyone brought the pig-killing dishes home, they poured them together, added some side dishes and cooked them again, and everyone ate them with gusto.
Even for those who are not qualified to eat meat, being able to eat vegetables with the flavor of meat and drink meat broth is very satisfying.
In her previous life, Wenxi came to the countryside and felt a little disgusted when she ate the pig-killing dish for the first time. She was not the only one who felt disgusted, but everyone who had never eaten it felt disgusted. After all, pig offal does smell very strong, and everyone knows it. However, Wenxi was unexpectedly shocked after taking a trial bite.
She didn't expect that the butcher's dish not only had no smell of pig offal, but was actually very delicious. Every part had a different taste, and at this time when supplies were scarce, it could bring people a delicious enjoyment.
In her previous life, she spent two years in the countryside and only had pig-slaughtering meals twice. When she visited other people's homes, the burden of washing clothes and cooking fell on her shoulders. People would order whatever they wanted to eat in advance and ask her to buy the food and cook it. She has been cooking for more than ten years, and unless she has never seen the dish before, there is no dish that everyone commonly eats that she cannot cook.
But after reading the original text, she also learned how to cook many new dishes based on the original text. This is because the authors of period novels will write in detail about the heroine's cooking process in order to make up the word count. It can take about a thousand words to write about a meal cooked by the heroine. It is impossible not to learn it.
After eating a bowl of pig-killing dish, he felt hot all over his body and warmed up. Satisfied, Wen Xi got up to get rice from the pot, then sat down and continued eating.
The six people worked together to finish the meal.
Song Lan and the other three helped clean up the kitchen and went back home contentedly. Every time they ate here in Wenxi, they were always very satisfied.
As they walked, the three of them carefully discussed what to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. Since they were celebrating the New Year together, they naturally couldn't let Wenxi and the other three bear the burden alone. That would be unfair to them and would not be conducive to maintaining their relationship.
Song Lan and Zhou Bai couldn't fit in with the old educated youth, and they didn't want to fit in with a few female comrades with bad character, so they could only try hard to fit in with Wen Xi and the others, otherwise the two newcomers would seem a little outnumbered.
Wen Xi returned to the room and took out the ten oranges that Lin Yiwan had given her. She gave five to Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue respectively. "Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, when you eat the oranges, remember to save the seeds for me."
Shen Jiaojiao brought the orange to her nose and sniffed it hard. The fragrance made her drool. Then she couldn't wait to peel the orange. While peeling, she asked, "Xiaoxi, what do you want the seeds for? Are you going to plant them?"
Wen Xi nodded, "There is land in the yard, I plan to give it a try. If it doesn't bear fruit, I'll chop it up and use it as firewood."
This orange was grown in Lin Yiwan’s super amazing space. It is definitely different from the oranges outside. Maybe it can really produce oranges!
However, she had already returned to the city by then, and she didn't have time to wait here to eat oranges, so Wen Xi planned to dig up the orange seedlings when she returned to the city, and store them in the system warehouse. She would plant them wherever she lived in the future so that she would always have oranges to eat.
"Okay, then I'll keep the seeds for you." Shen Jiaojiao said.
"Just put it on the windowsill to dry in the sun, otherwise it will rot and become unusable for planting." Wen Xi reminded.
