Hard times have room

Chapter 67 Minced Meat Soup

Paulin directly blocked the waterway with mud, blocking both ends. No matter how fast the fish swims, no matter how flexible her posture is, it will not be able to escape this square inch.

Not to mention, after two hours, the harvest was not bad, a dozen small fish, and two palm-sized fish in a deep puddle, and half a basket of snails, which can be said to be a bumper harvest.

But Baolin is a little worried. It has not rained for more than 20 days in Shanghe Village. Now there is still water in the canals and ditches. The main reason is that water is diverted from the Daqing River. It dries up.

The seedlings have only been planted for about a month, and have not yet headed. If it doesn't rain, in a few days, the team leader will have to organize the village's strong labor to fetch water. This is not an easy job.

There is also a Daqing River in Shanghe Village. Emergency rescue is not a problem at a critical time. At least there is water in the river. If there is a disaster, it will not be a total crop, but at most it will reduce production.

Other places where there is no river and no water to rely on the sky to eat will be miserable. If it doesn't rain again, you may have to consider pulling the seedlings and planting sweet potatoes.

Shaking her head, Pauline threw those things out, worrying about it, and now she should solve her own food and clothing problem first!I can't even eat the bran and pharynx, and I'm still thinking about it.

The bag of sweet potatoes that Pauline had brought back was all that was left. In the past few days, Paulin had been stealing sweet potatoes from the space to fill it up, but it was the meal she made at night. When Lin wasn't at home, Paulin guessed that her parents might just mix one or two sweet potatoes with the wild vegetables that Paulin picked, and drink gruel. Even if the family of three had already saved so much, there weren't a few sweet potatoes left in the past. , at most three days, the second room will have to run out of food, and by that time, there will be no chaff to eat.

It is mid-May now, and the fruits and seeds on the mountain are not yet ripe, and there is no head digging, so there are more wild vegetables, mushrooms, and small bamboo shoots. But these things cannot replace food. You have to eat these every day.

Wait and see, if her parents have a way to get the food, Pauline will not interfere. If there is no way to get it, then Pauline will still have to find a way to find an excuse to take out the food in the space.

It’s still about two months before the distribution of summer food. I can’t just eat wild vegetables every day in these two months. If I eat this every day, Paulin can’t stand it. She keeps farting, and if she can't even eat sweet potatoes now, she's going to be miserable.

As soon as she got home, Pauline took advantage of no one at home, went straight to the kitchen, closed the kitchen door, tied it, and then quickly started working in the kitchen, boiling water to scald the snails, and killing fish with a knife. Paulin did it very neatly.

Since she was a child, she had tossed with these small fish and snails in order to eat meat. After all, it was too hard to get other meat at this time. Of course, those meats were also expensive. At that time, when she killed chickens with milk, Pauline was able to quench her cravings with two bones and one sip of soup.

As for a pound of pork in her own space, for so many years, Paulin couldn't do it herself, and she was reluctant to tell her to give it to others for nothing, so she had been greedy for this meat for ten years, and when she moved, she had to find it This is a chance to do a good job of this pound of meat, and never waste it.

Paulin put two small crucian carp the size of a palm in the space. If he can't catch any fish in the future, he went straight to the Daqing River for a walk and took these two fish to count.

Afterwards, Paulin picked out the smallest sea fish of about a kilogram from the space. Paulin didn't know what the fish was called, but the skin was cyan with some black spots on it. Value is quite high.

Open the belly, peel the skin and remove the fins, then cut along the back of the fish, pick out the bigger bones, only half of it is used today, the other half and the fish head are put back into the space, and then start to chop the meat.

In just over half an hour, Paulin chopped up the sea fish meat and the small miscellaneous fish that were caught. Mixed together, the fish meat was also delicate, and it only took a little effort to chop it up.

After all this was done, Paulin also opened the kitchen door. After all, the kitchen door was closed again. When the rest of the family came back and saw it, it attracted attention and was difficult to explain.

The kitchen was dimly lit, so Paulin took the basin out, took out a small bamboo stick with a sharpened end, and used it to pick out the snail meat.

It may be that they spit out sand because they hadn't been raised for a day or two, and the heads of the snail meat that were picked out were stained with a lot of sand.

After picking out all the meat, Pauline directly took off the tail parts one by one. This part tasted bitter and she didn't like it, and then she immediately started to wash the mud sticking on it. It is really fat and big, but most of them have cubs. Some small snails are about to be born, and these Paulines need to be squeezed out, because the outer shell of the small snails is a bit hard, and it is difficult to digest. .

Pauline didn't even touch the sweet potatoes for dinner, so that's all that's left, so let's keep it for breakfast tomorrow!
A family of three sits next to the iron pot. After the water boils and the soup is cooked, put the wild vegetables in and cook them to eat. It can be regarded as an alternative version of hot pot!

Although there is no oil in it, the added sour bamboo shoots, chopped peppers, ginger and wild onions make this unique soup delicious enough.

Maybe the food in the second room was too bad recently. Wang Jiandang and Su Hongying ate a fast meal. In just ten minutes, the three of them ate up a big bag of wild vegetables and half a pot of soup. The most of the bowl of soup, while savoring the hot soup, while talking.

"Paulin, this soup is delicious. If you have time to continue making it tomorrow, Mom will support you." Su Hongying said contentedly while drinking the hot soup, rubbing her stomach supported by the soup.

"Yeah, these small fish and snails are delicious with these heavy-tasting things, much better than the tasteless sweet potato and wild vegetable porridge. You can come back a few times when you have time. What tools do you need? , tell Dad, you have to fix everything you say." Wang Jiandang also followed his daughter-in-law.

After speaking, Wang Jiandang lowered his head and took a sip of the soup: "It's really fragrant."

"Okay, I'll definitely go when I have time."

"By the way, Dad, Mom, when are we going to move? The house is ready, it should be almost enough after two days of drying, and it should be able to move in two or three days, right?"

Pauline was very happy with what her parents said, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the trouble of chopping everything up to make soup.

Of course, she also asked her most concerned about the time of moving house. She really wanted to move. She didn't think it was a big deal when they lived together before they split up. After all, her home is here, but after the split , Pauline felt that living here for an extra minute would make people feel tormented and uncomfortable. After all, in her consciousness, the house she was staying in now was not her home, but her home was on the other side.
