It has been snowing continuously for the past few days, and the temperature is getting lower and lower. Lin Mu and the others are reluctant to even leave the room. Except for the orcs who can stand outside the door for a while, even the orcs can't bear to go outside for a long time.
In such cold weather, animals generally find a warm place to spend the winter. Most of the beasts will hunt a large amount of food in autumn and then hibernate. So in winter, it is generally difficult for orcs to find prey. So in winter, there is no need to worry about beasts attacking the village because of insufficient food.
In the past few days, Patric found that the food they prepared for the animals raised in the tribe was almost exhausted. This day, he hurried home after feeding the animals and watched the time. Lin Mu was about to wake up by the time.
When Patrik rushed home, he went straight into the back room. These days, if Lin Mu wakes up in the morning and doesn't see him at first sight, he will definitely be in a bad mood, that's why he's in such a hurry.
After entering the back room, Patrik breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person who was still soundly asleep on the bed. Sitting down by the bed, I saw Lin Mu sleeping soundly, hugging the pillow, and snoring a little. Patrik wanted to reach out and touch Lin Mu's face, but he withdrew his hand again because he thought that he had just returned and his body was still cold. Seeing Lin Mu's rosy lips, he lowered his head and kissed it lightly, and then left the room. He had to prepare hot water, and Lin Mu was about to wake up at this time.
After breakfast, Lin Mu was hugged by Patric and sat on the recliner to chat.
"Today I went to feed the animals and I was running out of feed."
"We didn't think about keeping it for a long time, but we just preserved fresh meat in disguise. Since the feed is almost used up, we should kill those animals. The weather is now, and the meat is easy to preserve. But those chickens A lot of eggs, I wonder if we're going to raise some chickens next year."
"Well, it's all up to you." Patric continued, "See what the weather will be like tomorrow. If it's sunny, I'll arrange to kill all those animals."
Lin Mu nodded.
It was snowing, and no one came to their house, so the two of them went back to the back room. The room was a little dark, and when they took out the fluorite, the room suddenly lit up with soft light, making the room extra warm in this weather. . One can't help but think that even if it's stormy outside, this room is extremely reassuring.
The two were lying on the bed, talking, chatting and eating snacks. Although there were no ups and downs in life, it was really comforting. Occasionally, when two people get emotional, the bed rolls, and the day passes quickly. In winter, as long as the food is prepared, they have nothing to worry about, unlike modern times, they have to think about their studies, work, and various interpersonal relationships, and they may encounter some troubles if they are unlucky , but here is different, as long as everyone can eat enough and wear warmth, they will feel very satisfied.
The next day was a beautiful day, and it was a sunny day. Lin Mu sighed, it was not easy to stand in the yard in such weather.
Today's sun is very good, and because of the snow, I feel very bright in my sight.
Lin Mu hadn't stood there for a while, when he saw Huang Yuanshen entered their yard with a shallow kick. Seeing him, he immediately waved, "Hey, it's not easy to go out in this weather!"
Huang Yuan ran over, followed by Ryan naturally.
Lin Mu smiled and said, "Yeah, I haven't come out to breathe fresh air for several days."
Huang Yuan came to Lin Mu and stopped: "Lin Mu, I heard that today the tribe will slaughter the animals for feeding, do you want to see it?"
Lin Mu said: "I don't like bloody scenes, and I don't want to go." Patrik asked him before if he wanted to watch it, but he said no. Patrik really hoped that Lin Mu would not go, after all, it wasn't What beautiful scenes, to see those that affect the mood, Lin Mu might as well sit at home, drink tea and eat snacks.
After hearing Lin Mu's words, Huang Yuan also thought it was, but he thought it would be exciting and didn't want to miss it, "I still want to see it."
"then you go."
After talking with Lin Mu for a while, Huang Yuan took Ryan to watch the excitement. Seeing Huang Yuan taking Ryan's hand and leaving so naturally, Lin Mu felt happy for him. He didn't want Huang Yuan to use the word "lonely forever".
After Huang Yuan left, Lin Mu entered the house with a plate of snacks beside him. Patric was busy with slaughtering animals, and Lin Mu was the only one in the house. Sitting bored, he started weaving. There is not much cloth in the house, and when winter is over and spring clothes are needed again, Lin Mu decides to weave more these days and make clothes while there is nothing to do in winter.
Not long after, I didn't expect that Laisi would come, and was directly carried by Jason.
Lin Mu was a little surprised: "Lais, why didn't you go to see the excitement?"
Lace sat down and told Jason to go to work, and then said to Lin Mu: "I've seen scenes of slaughtering animals, it's nothing to watch." Seeing Lin Mu weaving, Lace said, "I also brought a Cloth to weave."
The two chatted and weaved together. At noon, Patrik and Jason came back together. The two of them brought back a lot of meat, and Patrik was carrying a large wooden bucket.
Seeing that Lace was about to leave, Lin Mu stayed behind and said, "Let's stay for dinner today."
Lais smiled and said, "No, the weather is fine today, so I will come to see you in the afternoon."
Lin Mu nodded with a smile and said yes, while they were talking, Patric and the others had already put the meat away, washed their hands and came out.
"How is it? Is there enough meat for everyone?"
Patrik nodded, "The meat is distributed according to the person. Everyone has a lot of meat. In addition to the meat stored in autumn, everyone doesn't have to worry about food."
Lin Mu smiled and said, "That's good." He just saw that the two people brought back a lot, and with the bacon they made before, they don't have to worry about eating meat throughout the winter.
"I'll go and see what kind of meat is divided." Lin Mu happily went to the kitchen as he said.
Lin Mu looked at the piles of meat and thought in his heart that he had to clean it up quickly. So he shouted: "Patrik, come here, let's straighten up the meat."
Patrik came in when he heard the voice, "I'll do what you say."
"I'll save a small half of this beef and freeze it to eat fresh meat. I plan to make the rest into stewed beef. These pork, um..." Looking at so many pork, Lin Mu thought of a countermeasure, "Save some fat and thin, I will It’s going to be used to make sausages, that’s very delicious.” Seeing the mutton, Lin Mu said, “Let’s have mutton soup for lunch.”
Now Patrik already knows what kind of animals Lin Mu is talking about. He nodded and processed the meat according to Lin Mu's words. It should be cut into pieces and frozen. After Lin Mu finished talking to Patrik, he got the mutton cut.
Lin Mu asked Patrik to bring a lot of bones, and Patrik liked to drink the bone broth.
Make the bone broth, and use another earthenware pot to make mutton soup. After finishing these, Lin Mu went to see the offal brought back by Patrik.
Lin Mu looked through it, and found that everything was cleaned. He picked out the small intestines and put them in a wooden basin beside him. Then Lin Mu took out one of the large intestines, preparing to make a fatty sausage with spicy peppers.
Lin Mu made this dish once before and Patric liked it very much. Lin Mu can also eat some, but he can't eat too much, or he will feel tired.
After the spicy sausage was made, Lin Mu could see that Patrik wanted to eat it very much, so he asked him to take it to the living room for him to eat first. He also made fried shredded pork, a stir-fried vegetable, and mixed some pickles .
The two of them ate lunch and slept for a while, and when they got up, they were busy making sausages.
Because the small intestines of animals are very long and thicker than ordinary pig small intestines, Lin Mu was going to use up six or seven small intestines, thinking that his own meat was enough.
Lin Mu asked Patrik to cut the selected fat and lean meat into suitable small strips, mix them with seasonings and marinate them, and he will be able to make sausages almost tomorrow morning.
Then the two of them stewed the beef, and then the two of them were free.
In the evening, the soup was ready at noon, and they could smell the rich aroma in the yard. Lin Mu drank a bowl of mutton soup by himself. It was spicy, and it warmed his stomach. Eating mutton in winter is a best.
After breakfast the next morning, Lin Mu looked at the meat that was marinated yesterday for making sausages. He asked Patric to find a bamboo tube, wash it inside and out, and then use the bamboo tube to support one end of the small intestine, while the other end was tied with a thread. Then he asked Patrik to pour the mixed meat into the casing of the small intestine little by little. After it was full, it was tied into sections with ropes, and each section was stabbed two to three times with a needle. Son, just seal it up.
Seeing that Patrik only needs to do these things, "Is it that simple?"
Lin Mu smiled and asked to hang the finished sausages on the air vent to dry, "It's as simple as that. When it's dry, just fry it when you want to eat it. It's delicious." Of course, Lin Mu can also make smoked sausages, but He didn't like the taste so he didn't plan to make it.
Seven sausages were hung under the eaves of the kitchen, in pieces, which looked very interesting.
"It will be ready to eat in four or five days."
Four or five days later, Lin Mu steamed some of the prepared sausages for Patrik to taste. Seeing that the other party's eyes lit up the moment he ate it, he knew it was a success. After the meal, Lin Mu asked Patrik to give some to his close friends. Because the sausages were limited, everyone gave one.
After eating sausages, they all came to learn from Lin Mu. Seeing that the steps are quite simple, it just depends on the individual's seasoning skills, so within a few days, every household hung up sausages.
Ka Suo and Qiuqiu also love sausages, which made Lin Mu wonder if he could make some sausages for them to eat as snacks, but looking at the weather, Lin Mu decided to forget it. They were all glad to have sausages, too.
Everyone's food is sufficient, the living environment is warm, and there is no threat from wild animals. Of course, it will be time for nesting in the next few days. Sleeping late, playing mahjong, playing chess, chatting, and if you have a partner, you can add an intimate activity for two people, so the Youshou tribe has a very leisurely winter.
