After going to the countryside, I rely on the sign-in system to bring my sisters along

Chapter 158 Delicious

Lin Yiwan had tied up the rabbits, so even if they were released, they would not be able to escape. Lin Yiwan took a rabbit and put it in Wenxi's backpack and said with a smile, "You share the lotus roots with me, so I will share a rabbit with you!"

"Okay." Wen Xi agreed readily. A rabbit weighing more than ten pounds still had more than half of its meat left after removing the fur. It was enough for several good meals. Why would she refuse?

Afterwards, Wenxi also gave Lin Yiwan five lotus roots, which weighed at least 20 to 30 kilograms. Wenxi pulled off the lotus stems from the lotus roots, but five lotus stems were not enough to stir-fry a dish, so he didn't give them to Lin Yiwan.

After that, the two of them went back with the heavy baskets on their backs. Wen Xi said, "Yi Wan, next time you want to eat lotus root, just tell me and I'll come over to get it."

"Okay, thank you." Lin Yiwan thought of the boots that Wenxi wore before going into the water. It was obvious that this was a good thing, and this style was obviously not available in the supply and marketing cooperative. Wenxi must have spent a lot of money and effort to buy this kind of boots. To borrow two words, she couldn't say it.

Because it was damaged, she had no way to compensate.

But there are so many lotus roots today. If she keeps two seeds, she should soon have more lotus roots than she can eat, and Wenxi won't have to work so hard.

However, Lin Yiwan still smiled and nodded in agreement. As a friend, she naturally couldn't spoil the fun.

When she got home, it was still early. Wenxi put the lotus roots and rabbits into the system warehouse, cooked breakfast, and went up the mountain to the waterfall. The lotus roots were all covered in mud, so she had to wash them clean. She also had to collect the snails. They had already been soaked in the stream for two days, so they should have spit out all the sand!

Wen Xi dug up a total of fifteen lotus roots, gave five to Lin Yiwan, and kept ten for herself. She washed the ten lotus roots in the stream, and also washed the fifteen lotus stems. Then she broke off the ten most tender ones and stir-fried them directly. The remaining old lotus roots could be used to make soup or lotus root porridge.

After that, Wenxi started to process the snails. She took out a pair of scissors and removed the tails of the snails one by one. She washed the snails again and after cleaning up, she went back down the mountain.

Wen Xi can cook many dishes, but that doesn’t mean she can only handle everything. For example, she doesn’t know how to cook rabbit. So when Shen Jiaojiao came back from work at noon, Wen Xi asked Shen Jiaojiao to prepare the rabbit so that she could just process it in the afternoon.

At noon, Wenxi fried the lotus root stems. Even though there were only fifteen stems, they filled a whole plate. The lotus root stems tasted crispy and refreshing and were very delicious.

After processing a big rabbit weighing about ten pounds, there was nearly nine pounds of meat left. When Wenxi cooked the rabbit meat in the afternoon, he also added lotus roots, potatoes, and cucumbers to it and made a big pot full of it.

Wenxi also went to the yard to pick a few not-so-big green peppers, and sprinkled them on the rabbit meat when it was almost ready to be served, making it look more colorful, fragrant and delicious.

After the rabbit meat was cooked, Wen Xi packed it up and put it into the system warehouse, leaving only one plate. He also packed a lunch box, intending to bring it to He Chenan when they met next time.

While the rabbit meat was stewing in the pot, Wenxi used the iron pot on the tripod to stir-fry snails. Over two mornings, he picked up hundreds of pounds of snails and blanched them in three batches.

After blanching and cooling, Wen Xi used a toothpick to pick out the plump and tender snail meat. Picking out snail meat is a time-consuming task, and she couldn't pick out much by herself.

Then I thought of that high-tech smart phone, which can even peel bamboo shoots, so it should be able to peel snail meat as well, right?

So Wenxi opened the entrance and put all the snails in. Sure enough, she saw the words "Take out the snail meat" appear on the screen, and then she reached out and clicked on it.

After a while, only the snail meat was left in the smart phone. As for where the snail shell went, Wen Xi didn't know either. It should have been disposed of by the system!

When she was peeling bamboo shoots before, she didn't find the shells.

Then Wenxi ordered "cleaned snail meat" and the snail meat was quickly washed clean, without even the strong earthy smell.

No matter how powerful this smart phone is, it can only process things to this extent and cannot process any further. But it’s fine like this, as Wenxi can have a lot more free time.

The meat yield of snails is very low, only 4 taels of meat can be produced from one pound. If it is dried, there may only be 2 taels of meat left, right?

Wenxi picked up more than 100 kilograms of snails in total, but now there are only more than 50 kilograms of snail meat. So much meat cannot be cooked in one pot, so Wenxi took out half of it, spread it on a winnowing basket, and then took it to the yard to dry. The sun was still quite strong at this time, and it was almost half dry by the evening.

As for the remaining half of the snail meat, after the rabbit meat was stewed, Wenxi started to make spicy snails. When the time was almost right, he added two bowls of water, covered the pot, and simmered it.

There are too many, and if you want to cook them all, you can only stew them like this. No matter what cooking method you choose, as long as it tastes good in the end, it's fine.

For dinner, we had rabbit meat and spicy snails, as well as a dish of stir-fried water spinach.

The three of them enjoyed a delicious meal.

After eating, Shen Jiaojiao sat there and didn't want to move. "I didn't expect that snails are so delicious. Next time I go to the rice fields to weed, I'll pick up snails if I see them."

When she was assigned to weed in the rice fields, she saw snails in the fields. They were big and numerous. If she had known that they were so delicious, she would have picked them up long ago.

"Don't rush to pick them up. Wait until there are no more bamboo shoots, then start picking them up. I'll pay you then, so you won't be picking them up for free." Wen Xi stopped them.

There were only three of them and they couldn't eat that many snails. She wanted so many of them to exchange for money. No matter what, she had to save enough money to buy a few courtyard houses before returning to the city.

After all, there are three boys in her family, and there is only one house. If she doesn't prepare the house first, when her sister-in-law and brother's wife come, she, as the sister-in-law, probably won't even have a place to live.

When Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui came to class in the evening, they brought not only the eels caught by Zhao Zhiping, but also the bamboo shoots they had picked themselves. Wen Xi asked them to give the money for the eels to Chang Qingqing, and they would keep the money for the bamboo shoots for themselves.

Men become bad when they have money, this is an eternal truth. If she needs to make money by fishing for eels and Zhao Zhiping makes money and becomes distracted and finds other women in the team, she will feel guilty to death.

So the money should be placed in the hands of women.

Wenxi no longer goes to the waterfall to catch mullets, and he only goes there occasionally to harvest the fruits and vegetables he grows.
