Traveling through farming with the system, I cooked delicious food in ancient times

On the sunny slope of the back mountain, myrtles are everywhere.

Mu Zhiyuan pulled up Miao Xi, and the two began to pick myrtles on the sunny slope.

This situation reminded Mao Xi of this time last year, when she had just arrived in Liujia Village and went up the mountain to pick fruits with her younger brother Xiaodouzi.

Now I have Brother Mu and Dahuang by my side.

Since myrtle is not easy to store, it is harvested and eaten immediately, and it is also sold on the same day at the market.

"Brother Mu, I still miss the days when I set up a stall selling roasted sweet potatoes at Guanyun Bridge last year."

"Do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes now?" Mu Zhiyuan asked suddenly.

"Do you have one?"

Mu Zhiyuan nodded and took out three sweet potatoes from his body. The two decided to roast the sweet potatoes in the wild.

Mu Zhiyuan found an open space, dug a hole, and found dry masson pine leaves and twigs.

He gently blew on the fire stick, lit the masson pine and put it into the pit, then lit the twigs.

When the fire is strong, put large logs of firewood and sweet potatoes into the pit and continue to light the fire.

When the sweet potatoes are about halfway cooked, put out the fire, bury the sweet potatoes in red-hot charcoal and soil, simmer for ten minutes, and then take them out.

The skin of the sweet potato baked in this way is as black as charcoal, and the inside is soft and sweet, with an incomparable charred aroma.

The two of them sat on the floor, eating freshly baked sweet potatoes, their hands and corners of their mouths turning black.

Mao Xi took one and fed it to rhubarb.

The two were enjoying themselves while eating, and the smell attracted the small animals nearby.

"It's a pheasant!" Mao Xi threw the finished sweet potato skins over. The pheasant was not afraid of people and started to peck at it.

"Ah Shu, be quiet and keep an eye on the rhubarb. I'll catch a pheasant. Maybe we can also eat beggar's chicken!"

Mu Zhiyuan also threw the leftover sweet potato skins over, and the pheasants continued to peck at them.

This time I didn't bring a bow with me when I went up the mountain, so I had to catch the chicken with my bare hands. Mu Zhiyuan crouched and slowly approached the pheasant.

As if sensing the crisis, the pheasant flew away and hid in the bushes.

Mu Zhiyuan followed closely, and so did Mao Xi and Dahuang.

After chasing for a few minutes, the pheasant disappeared, and the rhubarb screamed at the two of them from the front, as if they had made a new discovery.

The two stepped forward and took a look. There were two huge eggs in a bird's nest, which were bigger than goose eggs.

"Brother Mu, this egg can't be a pheasant's egg."

"It looks like an ostrich egg to me!"

After carrying back two baskets of myrtle, Mao Xi placed the ostrich eggs in the back room, covered them with grass to keep them warm, and tried to hatch them.

Lihua Town, Liuxiang Snack Shop.

Mao Xi drew a wooden barrel for wine and gave it to Luda: "Brother Lu, is this kind of wooden barrel easy to make?"

"It's not difficult to see the shape. Do you want to hold wine?"

"Well, it will be barreled and settled in three weeks."

"You asked for a few, and I'll make them. This is much easier than your shaved ice machine! The kipper barrel you asked for has been prepared for a long time. Why didn't I watch you start kippers?"

"The grass fish in the field have just grown up. In a few days, I will take Xiaodouzi and the others to catch fish together."

Ajiao was very excited when he heard that he was going to catch fish: "I want to catch fish too."

Luda held Ajiao on his shoulders and said, "I'll take you to catch fish in a few days."

Three weeks later, Mao Xi put the sealed vat-fermented wine into several prepared wooden barrels for the first sedimentation. The second sedimentation would have to wait another two weeks.

The picked myrtle fruits are steamed and sun-dried three times before they are turned into dried myrtle fruits.

Mao Xi brought a jar of rice wine, put in dried myrtle fruits and sugar, and sealed it. It would take a while to make the wine.

The second aunt Gao and Ayu checked the myrtle wine they brewed three weeks later and found that all the wine was broken. They were puzzled.

"Aniang, it shouldn't be. We also use fruit to brew it, so why did it fail?" Ayu was a little confused and wasted two cans of rice wine.

"Ayu, we can't let your grandma know this, otherwise she will go crazy again!" Mrs. Gao was still a little afraid of this mother-in-law.

"Auntie, I have an idea. Let's make an excuse and say something is lost and go to Shu Xi's house to look for it. I'll argue with them, and you can take the opportunity to look around in the kitchen to see how she made the fruit wine. On the day of fruit picking, I saw that Mao Xi also went to the mountains to pick myrtles."

"Ayu, you still have a way, let's go right away."

At the time of Haishi, the Gao family and his wife rushed to Mao Xi's house and came to "raise troops to investigate the crime."

Ayu took her purse with money and said to Mrs. Chen: "Aunt, Ziqun took my purse to buy salt today. I bumped into your Zian on the way. Now when I come back, all the money in the purse is gone. Is it okay for Zizan to take it?" of?"

"The money is on you, how can you say that Xiaodouzi got the money!" Ma Xi stepped forward to argue.

"The money is all gone and I can't find it on the ground. Could it be that it will fly away?" Ayu began to become unreasonable.

Mrs. Gao took the opportunity to rush to the kitchen and start looking for it.

Lou Laner hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "What are you doing in here? Don't move things!"

"Come on, come on! I'm here to find my money!" Gao said plausibly.

She checked the cupboard, then looked around on the floor, and found a wine vat in the corner of the dining table.

I quickly stepped forward to open it, and it turned out to be myrtle wine.

"Hey, don't move, the wine is still brewing!" Lou Lan'er was worried that touching the wine vat would affect the brewing, so she didn't take action.

Mrs. Gao took a spoon and quickly poured a ladle into the wine vat. After smelling it, she couldn't help but sigh: "It smells so good!"

If you look closely, you can see that it is really myrtle inside, but it is small and flat. It doesn't look like it is fresh, but it looks like it has been dried or fried.

Lou Lan'er snatched Gao's spoon and quickly sealed the wine jar: "You have seen it, there is no silver in this wine!"

After Mrs. Gao found out the secret recipe, she took her daughter Ayu and left Ma Xi's house.

"Ah Shu, I think they just made an excuse to come and see the wine you brewed. They just opened your myrtle wine in the kitchen and said they were looking for money!"

"They can't find my wine even if they search for it!" Mao Xi was not worried that the recipe for myrtle wine would be stolen. She was more concerned about whether the wine could be brewed successfully.

"Ah Shu, where did you hide all that wine?" Chen asked, stroking Xiaodouzi's head.

"Don't worry, they are all in Brother Mu's mansion. No one dares to break into Jia Mansion!"

In fact, she put it in her own portable space. The temperature in the space is moderate, suitable for brewing wine, and it is not easy to be stolen.

On the holiday, Mao Xi, Mu Zhiyuan and Lu Da took Xiaodouzi and Ajiao to catch grass fish in the paddy fields.

The fish, fed by the rice flowers, have purple-red belly, golden back and tail, and are small in size.

Everyone rolled up their trouser legs, stepped into the paddy fields, and grabbed them one by one.

Ajiao was also very good at catching fish, skillfully catching one fish after another, even more than Xiaodouzi.

"Ajiao, do you want to learn martial arts from Daniel in the future? I think you are quite talented." Lu Da asked half-jokingly.

"What is learning martial arts? Have you learned how to eat candied haws on a stick?" Ajiao couldn't forget the candied haws on a stick that Miao Xi brought back from Lihua Town.

"Hahaha... Not only can we have candied haws, but after learning how to do it, we can go hunting in the mountains, and there are barbecues to eat!" Since he went to work as a waiter in Maoxi's shop, Luda hadn't gone hunting in the mountains for a long time, and his hands were itchy.

"I want to learn, I want to learn martial arts!" Ajiao clapped his hands and shouted, putting the fish in his hands into the fish basket.

After catching the grass fish in the field, Mao Xi took them back to Liuxiang snacks, put them all in wooden barrels, and made pickled fish.
