Prehistoric Chef

Chapter 24 Xiao Ming's Potato Stewed Bacon is Good!

 At noon, stewed potatoes with bacon and wild vegetable mushroom soup. After working in the morning and continuing to work in the afternoon, lunch is very important. Gao Ming took a whole piece of freshly marinated bacon, cut it into pieces, and put the two pieces together for stewing.

Potatoes and bacon were stewed on the stove, Gao Ming took advantage of the gap to draw a wooden shelf on the floor, and explained: "...in this way, the bacon can be hung on both sides, the top can also be hung, and the bottom can be arranged neatly. The most important thing is that this can move..." Gao Ming took a big spoon and ran to the stove to stir it, and it was a fragrant fragrance.

Randa sniffed, almost drooling. "Brother Ming, it smells so good!"

Gao Ming also discovered that stewed bacon with potatoes is much more fragrant than roasted bacon alone. Originally, the taste of bacon is too heavy and too salty, while the taste of potatoes is light. Stewing the two together can neutralize a lot. The rotten bacon, the potatoes melted when poked, the whole soup became thick, and the taste was really good.

"Do you two want chili?" Gao Ming asked.

"Come on, brother Xiao Ming is alright?" Landa sucked her saliva and couldn't wait to ask.

Gao Ming melted the chili powder with a spoon, stirred it evenly, "Let's cook for a few minutes." The smell in the pot with the chili peppers was even more pungent, and Gao Ming couldn't hold it anymore. With the skin on, he took the iron pot down.

When Landa saw that she was done, she squatted aside with the bowl in her arms and waited.

Gao Ming dipped the big spoon into it, and saw Landa drooling while holding the bowl. Gao Ming looked interesting, and took another spoonful. Landa's eyes were so bright that he put his arms around the spoon and put it into his mouth.

"Good guy, slow down!" Gao Ming hurriedly said: "It's just out of the pot, you burn your tongue and you can't taste anything!"

Landa is impatient when it comes to eating. He was scalded before, but he recovered later Some, but the taste was so good this time, I couldn't help but blew on it twice and stuffed it into my mouth, I was so hot that I couldn't spit it out, I swallowed it whole, and said inarticulately: "It's so delicious, this is the best !"

"Go to the table to eat, and make some soup later, don't eat too much." Gao Ming cooked rice for Bujia, spoon by spoon, originally wanted to see Landa's cute expression, but unexpectedly Bujia had a fixed face , no different from usual, oh, there are still some, the two eyes seem to be shining. Gao Ming squinted his eyes, thinking that Bujia's awkward and serious expression is also very cute! There was still some left in the iron pot, so Gao Ming cooked wild vegetable and mushroom soup in a stone basin. There were not many mushrooms in the first place, and now the main thing is wild vegetables. I went out to work in the afternoon to find some wild vegetables to dry, so that the soup can relieve the tiredness. Gao Ming sits on a stone bench, dips a spoon in it, oh, it smells really good! The three of them picked up the rice bowl, Landa finished eating first, holding the bowl and asked, "Brother Xiaoming, do you want more?" "I don't want it, there is some left in the pot, you and Bujia will have some." Gao Ming smiled. When cooking, he scooped more for Bujia, and usually eats the most for Bujia, and he was slightly worse than Landa. Landa ran over to hold the iron pot, the temperature inside was just right. The two brothers were half of each other, and the wild vegetable soup in the stone basin was also ready. Gao Ming pinched a pinch of salt and stirred it. He had already finished eating, so he directly scooped up a bowl of soup, put the iron pot on the fire, and poured it on The cold water is on a low fire, and it will be used to wash the dishes later. The meal couldn't be more satisfying, Landa's belly was full, and Bujia was not much better. The three of them sat on the stone bench with their limbs wide open, and took a rest for a while. "Bujia, it turns out that the stone bed was put together!" Gao Ming stared at the stone bed in front of him. There are large stones underneath, covered with a layer of stone slabs. It turned out that the light in the cave was dark, but he didn't notice it. Now that he had the idea of ​​building a stone bed, he naturally did more research. "You said how about moving the stone slab outside and raising baa around the entrance of the cave?" "Then where should we sleep?" Landa asked puzzled. "How about making a wooden bed?" Gao Ming's hometown is in the countryside, who doesn't have a wooden bed? Some are even earthen kangs. Now there is no condition for earthen kangs, but the wooden bed is much simpler, and you can put things under the bed, which saves space and is comfortable.

Gao Ming used wooden sticks to draw a plank bed on the ground, and a wooden plank between the two headboards is enough. If it is not possible, you can also use a stone as a bedside, and only need to put a wooden plank in the middle, so that it will not be too cold.

"Don't worry about this." Gao Ming knew that the bed was a trivial matter, but food was the most important thing. "Landa, how is the skin soaking?" The three tiger skins that were beaten last time were soaking in the river.

Landa snorted, and said in a low voice, "I forgot, but it's time to soak it today, and I'll tan the leather this afternoon."

Bujia looked at Gao Ming, and said seriously, "I'll make wooden shelves and wooden beds this afternoon. "

"Aren't you hunting?" Gao Ming asked.

"Back hurts." Buga said seriously.

Gao Ming remembered what he said last night, but Bu Jia remembered it in his heart. I can't help but think of my master and my wife. Usually my wife is nagging, but as long as the master says that my joints hurt, my wife will still be nagging.

To tidy up the dishes, Gao Ming took the iron pot, and Bu Jia took the iron pot, chopsticks and spoon to the river to wash it twice. Landa went down the river and touched the skin. The skin that had been stained with minced meat had already softened. She carefully hugged the three layers in her arms and went up to the river bank.

"Landa, we will go up the mountain together later, we two will cut down trees, and you will tan the leather." Gao Ming held the cleaned bowls, chopsticks and spoons. Landa went up the mountain to find lime, and he and Buja happened to cut trees to make a bed.

Back in the cave, Gao Ming packed up the pots and bowls, fed water to the baa-baa, grass was everywhere, turned over the peppers that were drying in the sun, the temperature had already started to drop, Gao Ming directly put away the peppers, and after three or four days in the sun, it was almost the same up. After everything was tidied up, Landa was carrying a rattan frame with three tiger skins inside, and the three of them went up the mountain.

At first, Gao Ming just wanted to play casually, waiting for a make-shift wooden bed, but seeing Bujia's serious look, the idea of ​​making do with it disappeared in his heart. After all, this was the first bed he and Bujia had! Of course, Gao Ming selectively ignores Landa. He is imagining that he and Bujia are turning each other on the bed they made! Could Randa have a hand in this? !
