Chapter 331 Eating Raw Vegetable Leaves
Li smiled as she looked at him. The youngest in their family now looked like an older brother.
Zhou Guo rolled up her sleeves to help roast the food. The wind was howling outside, but the house was warm as spring. She was sweating on her forehead as she ate.
At the end of the meal, she picked two roasted corianders, wrapped a piece of venison, blew it cool and put it into her mouth. It had a very rich taste and was not greasy.
I ate another seven or eight pieces like this.
Seeing how happily she was eating, everyone couldn't help but eat a piece too. After taking a bite, they found it tasted pretty good.
Not only coriander can be eaten like this, but roasted cabbage can also be eaten like this.
The grilled vegetables were gone, so Zhou Guo simply tore off a small piece of raw cabbage, wrapped the meat in it like lettuce, and ate it with a crunch.
How to say it, although it is refreshing and relieves greasiness, the freshness of the venison itself is covered by the smell of cabbage, and it is not as amazing as at the beginning.
"It's not a rabbit, why do we have to eat it raw? It's not like we don't have firewood." Li frowned.
The old man was watching with amusement, "What's this new and strange way of eating?"
Although the young apprentice always does unexpected things, it is undeniable that unexpected things always produce unexpected results, which are all pretty good.
Zhou Guo said: "Master, this vegetable is sweet. In fact, if it is not stored in the cellar so early and frozen by the snow, it will be sweeter."
The old man still wrapped a piece and ate it, nodding, "Very interesting."
But I won’t say much about the taste, as it obviously didn’t suit his taste.
Zhou Guo said nothing more and just ate the roasted venison obediently.
Everyone else tried it, but no one liked it except Zhou Suli.
Little Zhou Su accepted everything, but he ate them separately, one bite of meat and one bite of vegetable, eating with relish, as if it were some extraordinary delicacy. Zhou Mai and the others couldn't help but try it, and still thought the meat was delicious, but the vegetable had no oil or salt, and had a bitter taste.
Eating only barbecued meat was not enough to fill you up, so Zhou Guo brought the rice bucket over and filled each person with a bowl of rice, soaking it in carrot and deer bone soup, eating a mouthful of rice and a mouthful of meat, as well as roasted coriander and roasted cabbage.
Nowadays, there is plenty of oil and water, and everyone eats less than before. Originally, people steamed a bucket of rice for each meal, but now they steam more than half a bucket, and sometimes there is even a lot left over.
If you eat it with steamed buns, you will use even less rice.
Everyone knew that Zhou Guo preferred rice to steamed buns. They didn't care and ate everything, so they tried to leave the rice for her. After all, most of what they bought this time was wheat, and they only bought a few bags of rice, and there wasn't much left from before.
Zhou Guo was eating rice, thinking that he would have to plant one or two acres of rice next year so that he could eat it and see how the rice harvest was doing here.
The problem is that none of their current land is near the river. If they want to grow rice, they have to buy two more plots of land, preferably near the river so that they can dig a reservoir themselves. Then they won’t have to worry about water in the fields.
Everyone supported her idea.
Zhou Gu said: "I see that most of the crops here are wheat, and there is very little rice. I don't know if the yield per mu here is not high."
Zhou Mai shook his head. "I see there are no dams or dikes here. There are no rivers or ponds around the land. Without water, rice cannot be grown."
Zhou Mi pondered, "If we buy two more plots of land, we can dig this pond ourselves, make it bigger, and raise fish in it."
Li said, "If we want to dig a pond, we have to wait until the spring thaw. There is still a lot to do. There will be a lot to do next year. The first thing is to build a house. I see that some parts of this house are crooked. I am afraid it will collapse while we are living in it."
Zhou Guo nodded, "We can first look for land to sell. Even if we don't grow rice, there's no loss if we buy two more plots."
This is the truth, and everyone agrees with it.
After a lively barbecue, I didn’t know what time it was and the snow was still falling outside.
The family has two kangs, which are kept warm, and you don’t feel cold at all when you get into bed.
Li smiled and said, "At first I said that the kang was so hard that it hurt all over. Now I realize the benefits of it. You said that if you sleep on the bed in this weather, it is cold and you can't even stretch your arms and legs. I originally wanted to make a few thick quilts weighing more than ten pounds, but I didn't expect that they would be completely useless."
After saying that, he sighed with relief.
Zhou Xing at the side said with a smile: "Yes, in previous years, at this time of year, we had to hug a hot stone when we lay in bed. No wonder people here sleep on a kang. We really need this thing in winter."
Zhou Guo reluctantly responded twice and fell asleep.
Soon, everyone fell asleep on the warm kang.
After several months of habit, Zhou Guolei would wake up at this time without fail unless there were unexpected circumstances.
The paper-pasted windows were pitch black and it was still dark outside. If you listened carefully, you could hear the sound of snowflakes falling on the roof. The wind whistled from time to time, and it sounded bone-chillingly cold.
The bed was warm and everyone else was sleeping soundly. Zhou Guo breathed a sigh of relief and pulled back the quilt.
When I opened the door, the wind swirled into the house with snowflakes. The cold wind felt like a knife on my face, making it difficult to breathe.
She looked at the door and it seemed that she would need a thick door curtain.
The snow was relatively light at this time, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground, which made a crunching sound when people stepped on it.
She was in a playful mood and soon stepped on all the snow in the yard. The yard, which was as white as paper just now, was covered with her footprints.
Snowflakes were flying, and the light of the knife was flashing in the snow. The snowflakes raised by his feet bloomed into flowers in this world. The big knife broke through the air and pierced out from the center of the flower. Petals fell around him. Zhou Guo curled his lips, spun his feet, flipped his wrist, and the light of the knife pierced out from his armpit.
The old man slowly came out of the house holding a knife, raised his chin towards Zhou Guo, and said, "Come here."
Zhou Guo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Snowflakes were falling and the sound of knives was heard. Everyone in the house was awakened by the noise. They jumped out of their beds, put on thick cotton-padded jackets, and huddled at the door in the biting cold wind to watch the fight between an old man and a child.
Zhou Gu opened his mouth wide, "Is Guoguo so powerful? She can actually fight with Master for such a long time?"
Zhou Mi squinted his eyes and yawned, "Brother, what are you thinking about? This is the teacher teaching Guoguo. How long has she been learning? How can she fight with the teacher for so long?"
After saying this, he turned around and went back to bed. It was still early and so cold, so he decided to sleep for a while.
Zhou Mai's eyes sparkled with pride. "But it's only been a few months. It's already very impressive to be able to train to this level."
That’s true. They don’t even know how to do a horse stance. It’s really strange. They have the same ancestors, so why are there such big differences?
Zhou Xing said, "It's so cold and you insist on getting up at this time. You deserve to be awesome."
Everyone nodded involuntarily. It was not something that most people could do to get up so early in the wind and snow, and it was not just for one day, but every day.
