Chapter 192 (Food Chapter) Dog Sledding, Brown Sugar Rice Cake

Exotic food takes up little space, is easy to grow, and can be grown in the city to fill the stomach. It can even be grown in the city to solve a large food gap.

The disadvantage of requiring a lot of fertilizer is even less important. The daily "output" of the people in a city is gathered together, and it is difficult not to have too much fertilizer.

In the past, Dawu also had many exotic plants, but those wild exotics had a variety of properties, and there had never been such a suitable food crop for human production and life.

This made the top leaders of the court and four countries come to another conclusion-Xianshan has been cultivating a large number of exotics since a long time ago, so that these exotic foods suitable for large-scale production can be screened out.

And this is what the major forces in Dawu are doing, but they haven't produced any good results.

These top leaders inferred from this and once again came to the conclusion that Xianshan has existed for a long time and should not be underestimated.

The entire 514 years of Dawu were spent in the step-by-step approach of the monsters.

Thousands of peaks, bamboo shoots, stones, thousands of jades, and thousands of pine trees and vines, thousands of silver flowers.

Yulong Cave Mansion ushered in another year of heavy snow, but Xiaoman and her friends had much less time to hibernate this winter.

The water spirit ball, which rises from the hot spring waterfall, has a separate waterway. The gurgling hot spring stream emits heat along the way, and a green grass dragon swims out in the valley, which is particularly conspicuous in the surrounding white snow.

The stream is not like a livestock farm with livestock everywhere, noisy and noisy.

Only star bees and birds stay here, which is very quiet and elegant.

The hazy hot air rises up, making the whole stream seem to be covered with gauze, adding a bit of fairy air.

Xiaoman doesn't care about fairy air. What's important is that there are hot spring waterfalls, hot spring pools, and hot spring streams, which can meet all her needs from bathing to swimming.

But she prefers the big lake dedicated to entertainment.

At this moment, it has frozen with thick ice, which can be used for skating and... dog sledding.

With Saranzhu's reminder, poor Xiaotian (Xiao Huang) and Hei Xiong (Xiao Hei) finally couldn't escape the clutches of the devil, and finally took on one of the dogs' natural jobs - pulling a sled.

As for the problem that the dog's paws were too slippery on the ice, wearing dog spikes solved the problem.

Except that Xiao Huang and Xiao Hei needed to adapt to the "new equipment", everything else was fine.

So the laughter of Saranzhu and Xiao Man and the howling of the dogs echoed on the ice.

Sitting by the lake, Gu Ke held a small hatchet in his hand, slowly whittling a half-finished wood plane, occasionally stopping to consider the position of the knife.

Xiao Ping'er was next to her, looking at the two dogs and two people running around in the lake, and then quickly put down a series of stitches on the embroidery in front of her.

The embroidery was suspended in front of her, with several needles and threads shuttling back and forth.

In less than half an hour, half of the "Shaman Duo Driving Dogs to Pull a Sled" appeared on it.

The Xiaoman and Saranzhu above opened their mouths wide, their faces full of excitement and vividness, which was really first-class embroidery.

Gu Ke's work was not so fancy. He quickly turned the semi-finished wood plane in his hand into a finished product and threw it into Miss Qin's Qiankun bag.

These small tools were improved for civilian labor.

Many people in Taiping Village were blessed with craftsmanship skills by him and became quite excellent craftsmen.

If the physical tools were sent to them, they would soon be able to find out the advantages and disadvantages, imitate and improve them.

Today, Taiping Village directly controls more than 50,000 people, and can influence and command more than 200,000 people.

It is located in the southwest of the courtyard, not very far from Xihuang and Nanye.

With the support of the eldest lady, they don't have to be sneaky when spreading various martial arts and skills.

Of course, Taiping Village also gained huge benefits from it.

The transaction contract stipulates that they must spread seeds, martial arts, and skills, but it does not say that they cannot make profits from them.

Taiping Village is not short of food, so it exchanges various quasi-professional talents from all over the country.

The truly professional talents are almost all cultivated and monopolized by the big forces. There are not many outside. Even if a few are found, they cannot meet the rapid expansion of Taiping Village.

Quasi-professional talents such as shopkeepers, accountants, housekeepers, and various craftsmen exist in large numbers in small and medium-sized forces.

They are of lower level, more in number, and receive limited attention. They always flow out due to various unexpected circumstances.

Taiping Village does not expect them to become the pillars of the village in the future. They are more of a transition and act as teachers.

Gu Ke's partiality has blessed Taiping Village many times. More than a thousand villagers have been enlightened through initiation, including many children and teenagers.

If necessary, young and middle-aged people can also join.

With the most basic ability of literacy, it is much easier to learn simple accounting, mathematics, and writing.

The faster Taiping Village expands, the more sincere people there are, and the faster the statues in Shennong Cave will transform into the foundation of the cave.

Even if he is a otaku, Gu Ke never minds opening more "sub-bases" in various places in Dawu to facilitate his projection everywhere at any time.

It is his freedom to use it or not, and whether or not to use it is another matter.

However, the eldest lady complained about him for always using the mother-and-child Qiankun bag as a logistics channel.

Gu Ke has corrected some of his mistakes recently. Every time he sends farm tools, he will attach a set of instructions for use, and add a sentence "Dongjun can play with it if he is interested."

Saranzhu and Xiaoman can play happily with the cart plowing the field, so there is no reason why the eldest lady can't.

Of course, this only reduces the eldest lady's dissatisfaction, so he also brings some kites, bamboo dragonflies, bamboo snakes and the like from time to time.

He didn't write any explanation for this, after all, it was too naive.

Even if he knows that the eldest lady is sometimes naive, the eldest lady also knows that he knows that he is sometimes naive.

But writing descriptions for these toddler toys is like saying, "I know you're childish."

If you don’t write down that it’s “accidental misplaced stuff,” no one will ask whether the eldest lady played with it secretly.

Over at Taiping Village, Miss Qin took the short plane and rubbed the dark iron wood plane body, the rounded water chestnuts and the handle, and she couldn't put it down.

This thing is said to be a tool, but its shape looks like an abstract version of a cow's head. It is simple and cute, and it feels very comfortable to touch.

She hesitated for a moment and decided to ask Li Gouer, a clever guy, to make a copy.

This little brother Li Xiuer was taught the craftsmanship skills and has some talent for it. In a few years, he has become an excellent craftsman.

He came to imitate the short planer, and then gave the imitation to the craftsmen in Taipingzhai for consideration.

This original version belongs to the eldest lady's private collection and of course cannot be touched by others.

With this in mind, she grabbed a piece of wood, held it in front of her with blood, and pushed it gently with a short plane.

The planer pulls across the surface of the wood at a constant speed, making a pleasant swishing sound.

A curled shaving emerged from the groove, showing a translucent wood color with the original pattern of the wood.

The eldest lady twisted the curly shavings and looked at them: "Hey, it seems a bit fun."

I couldn't help but push it over with a swipe, and then swish, swish, swish.

…

Some time ago, Gu Ke's Formless Sutra quietly reached level 700.

At this moment, he paid special attention to the eldest lady and clearly noticed her joyful mood, so he laughed: The eldest lady is still so young... ahem, innocent.

After looking at the sky getting dark, he called out: "Xiaotian, Black Bear, come back for dinner."

The ice sled that was speeding on the ice made a sharp turn, and amidst the laughter and curses of Xiaoman and Salanzhu, two dogs ran towards them.

Gu Ke's orders are above all else. This is what they have learned from countless practices.

When they arrived at the lake, the two dogs stopped, wagging their heads and tails a few feet apart, and making a growling sound from their noses.

Xiaoman stopped the fast sled with just the right amount of energy, just in time to knock away the two dogs who were vying for pets: "Lao Gu, we are having New Year's Eve dinner today, why do you ask them to eat it?"

Gu Ke took it for granted: "You two are not as obedient as they are."

Xiaoman opened his mouth, but found that he was speechless: How can this person compare with a dog!

Saranzhu untied the dog's leather muff, reins and special spiked shoes, and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. If you want to find something delicious, Xiaoman will definitely run faster than them."

Xiao Man took off a flying kick without thinking.

Salanzhu dodged lightly and laughed: "Ah, I was right, Xiaoman is going to kill someone and silence him."

The two started fighting again by the lake.

The two dogs, with their tails between their legs, sneaked up to Gu Ke and Xiao Ping'er, needing protection.

Gu Ke moved Xiaotian's dog's head, while Xiao Ping'er moved Black Bear's.

These two guys were originally barking like little yellow and little black, but one day Xiao Man suddenly had a sudden idea to give the dog a big name.

After thinking about it for a long time, I saw that when its head was moved, its mouth turned up, as if it was smiling, so I named it Xiaotian, which means it smiles every day.

After the spiritual spring was activated and nourished by the water spirit essence, the animals all increased in size, including these two dogs.

Xiaotian was obviously swollen and had a bit of a "dog waist" feeling.

The black bear was originally a black mass with a somewhat fat face, but it happened to grow sideways and turned into a bear-like shape, so the name was decided.

However, the dog is so big that it is not as easy to act cute as it was when it was young, and it cannot run errands such as pulling a sled.

With Lingquan, these two dogs are becoming smarter.

In addition, the two small agricultural sciences have exceeded level 50, and their characteristics have been upgraded to nature affinity, making it easier to communicate with them.

With a little bit of command training, their intelligence is about the same as that of a three- or four-year-old child, and they are enough to serve as two tool dogs.

After moving the dog's head, Gu Ke and Xiao Ping'er washed their hands and prepared the mutton and mandarin duck pot by the lake.

In his previous life, he had eaten mutton in spicy red soup with pickled pepper added.

It tastes sour and spicy, and has a unique flavor compared to ordinary hot pot.

Xiaotian and Black Bear stood obediently two meters away, their tails wagging quickly and slowly.

Gu Ke was cutting the lamb, and the half-frozen meat was rolled up piece by piece under the knife, and the fat lamb rolls were formed.

Occasionally, I would bake it in the small oven next to it and throw it to the two dogs.

They finished the meal and began to eagerly wait for the next round of feeding. Their expressions were comparable to Xiao Man's.

It's just that Xiaotian is used to opening his mouth and sticking out his tongue, while Black Bear keeps his mouth closed. The same thing is that saliva flows down from his mouth very quickly.

On the other side, Xiao Ping'er took the sheep's hooves, burned the skin and removed the hair carefully, then cut them halfway and put them into the red soup.

This thing is usually braised in red, and it needs to be cooked for a longer time to ensure that it is delicious and soft, and the spicy taste is also enjoyable.

Gu Ke quickly cut the mutton rolls and took out the glutinous rice cake.

In ancient times, it was also called "rice cake", "bait" and "獍粑". In the previous life, it was called rice cake, rice cake and glutinous rice cake.

These are made from mashed cooked glutinous rice, and are called rice cakes or rice cakes in some places.

The three-piece set of glutinous rice, stone mortar, and large pestle, combined with the family's efforts to pound the extremely sticky rice paste, was a scene that many people spent their old age in the previous life.

Due to the different techniques and rice, the taste of the finished rice cakes and glutinous rice cakes is also different.

For example, in some places, glutinous rice flour is mixed with warm water, and then steamed after it is formed into a ball.

Gu Ke soaks glutinous rice in cold water first, then steams it for about 15 minutes, and then mashes it into a paste.

Personally, the rice cakes he ate in his previous life were tougher and more chewy, while glutinous rice cakes were relatively soft and fluffy.

He is not very interested in rice cakes, but he likes glutinous rice cakes quite a lot.

The hot glutinous rice cakes are wrapped with white sugar and cooked soybean flour, and the aroma of soybean flour and rice is more obvious under the sweetness.

Gu Ke casually cuts the snow-white and soft glutinous rice cakes into fist-sized balls, wraps them with soybean flour, and becomes a yellow fat man.

Then he called out to the two idiots who were still fighting over there: "If you keep fighting, the glutinous rice cakes will get cold."

With two swish sounds, the two guys rushed back without blushing and took the glutinous rice balls and stuffed them into their mouths.

Xiaoman commented while eating: "Old Gu, it seems that there is a little more glutinous rice water this time, it is too soft."

The two have always been like this in cooking. If there are problems, they must be pointed out so that they can be improved at any time.

He just nodded and said: "Eat it first, look at you spraying bean flour all over Xiaotian dog's head."

Xiaotian did not dislike it, and opened his mouth to sweep in the "fog" of bean flour, but unfortunately there was too little bean flour, so he didn't taste anything.

When he heard him call his name, the dog's head immediately lowered, and his black eyes stared at him without blinking.

Gu Ke first wrapped a ball of glutinous rice cake and stuffed it into the mouth of Xiao Ping'er next to him, and then wrapped two small balls and threw them to Gouzi.

People first, dogs second, this is the rule.

Xiao Ping'er chewed the soft and slightly sweet glutinous rice cake in her mouth, with a smile on her face, and stretched out her hand to test the temperature of the oil pan in front of her: "Brother Gu, it's ready to fry."

Gu Ke's hand speed increased, and the glutinous rice cake was cut into strips by a small bamboo knife and slid into the oil pan.

In the sizzling sound of frying, dense oil bubbles wrapped around the glutinous rice cake strips, slowly floating in the hot oil, gradually taking on a light yellow color.

Xiao Ping'er picked up the long bamboo chopsticks, picked them up one by one, and put them in the empty plate.

Xiaoman couldn't wait to take the plate, took out a bowl of steamed liquid brown sugar, and poured it on it.

Saranzhu made a silent move, grabbed two, and stuffed them into Gu Ke's and her own mouths respectively.

After Xiaoman poured the brown sugar juice, she was about to share it with Gu Ke, but she saw his mouth moving, and she immediately realized that it was the "enemy of her life" who stole her job.

She glared at the complacent big fool angrily, but still stuffed a piece of brown sugar glutinous rice cake in her hand to Gu Ke: Hum! Who said that old Gu can only eat one piece.

Saranzhu laughed and tried to get it again, but was dodged by Xiaoman.

Who knew that this was a feint to the east and attacked the west? She turned her hand and took the second plate from Xiao Ping'er, and also took out a bowl of brown sugar juice to pour.

On the left was the oil pan and Xiao Ping'er. Xiaoman simply took out the fire from the bottom of the pot, holding the plate, and stood to the right of Gu Ke to grab the best position for feeding.

Saranzhu laughed and approached from the side, trying to squeeze in.

The two guys kept circling back and forth on the right, just like the game of eagle catching chickens, but Gu Ke, who was the "chicken", was unmoved.

It's just a fuss, you get used to it.

Anyway, they have a good understanding, and fighting will not disturb his cooking pleasure.

In the snowy night by the lake, fireworks rise up, Sister Bai lies quietly in the pavilion beside her, and the two children and Saranzhu laugh and make noises.

It is time to slowly savor the fireworks of the world and watch the long years of everything.
