After traveling through ancient times, she became a wild woman

Chapter 379 Preserving Lotus Root
Night Breeze sent Xiao Se to the door of the kitchen, handed her over to Ah Cha, and then left.

Ah Cha hugged Arthur's arm tightly and complained: "Why did the patriarch take you away for so long? I haven't hugged you today. Hug!"

Xiao Se smiled and hugged Ah Cha: "Yes, yes, my Ah Cha wants to be hugged. Has the eel been taken out from the snow?"

Ah Xixi brought the softened eel to Xiao Se with great joy: "Ah Cha said you would come to teach us how to make eel today, so I took it out. Do you think it is like this?"

They had fresh food, but couldn't eat it. Even a foodie wouldn't understand the pain. Ah Xi wanted to despise them.

Xiao Se picked up the greasy eel and nodded: "Yes, that's it. It's very well done."

She picked up the scissors and said to Ah Xi, "Look, this is how eels are washed."

Holding the eel's body with its head removed, he inserted the scissors into the opening where the eel's head had been removed, and cut the scissors directly along the eel's soft belly to the end.

"Scissor it to the end." Xiao Se said as he showed it to Ah Xi and the others, "Then pull this, it's its internal organs, tear it off directly, and tear it to the end. Then rinse it with water, and it's done."

It looks really simple, but anyone who has ever done it knows that Xiao Se has really done these things before, otherwise he would be so skilled in his techniques.

"Let me give it a try." Ah Xi took the scissors and followed Arthur's instructions. He inserted the scissors into the eel's mouth, cut the scissors to the bottom, and then pulled out the internal organs. "Is that so?"

Xiao Se's eyes showed joy: "Yes, that's it. This eel is slippery. You must be careful when killing it to avoid getting your hands cut off by the scissors."

"If it's a live eel, the same goes for it. Cut off its head first and then do this."

"Oh, you have to be careful when doing it. After the eel's head is cut off, it will still move, but don't be afraid, it's just a little bit."

Ah Xi and the others all nodded. A few of them were cutting the eel with scissors and laughing at the same time. This was another delicious dish, so you should remember it well.

Xiao Se looked at the wild ginger and wild garlic and sighed silently. There were still too few ingredients now, how could he make delicious food.

In the eyes of Axi and others, food with salt and wild ginger is already the most delicious.

But Xiao Se, who had eaten modern food, could not be satisfied with these foods.

Xiao Se really admires the ancestors for digging out the ingredients and edible food bit by bit. It is really great.

I used to think it was just like that, okay, after all, they have to live.

Now it was my turn, and there was no place to talk about that kind of suffering.

"Arthur!"

A voice came from outside. Xiao Se came out of the kitchen and saw Ah Ri leading his clan members to transport the lotus roots back on a cart.

Ah Ri smiled and said: "The tribesmen said you were up, so I called you. Look, I dug up a lot of lotus roots. What should I do?"

Xiao Se looked at the two large carts of lotus roots and slapped his forehead fiercely: "Where are the lotus roots that were dug out earlier?"

Ah Ri was shocked when he saw her action: "They are all buried in the snow."

Xiao Se was even more desperate: "Take me to have a look. Could it be that you just dug lotus roots for a few days when I was sick?"

"No." A'ri shook his head quickly, "I just went today. In the past few days, the tribesmen have stepped up to build ice walls."

In fact, it was Xiao Se who was ill, and the tribesmen were not in the mood to dig lotus roots from such far away places. They all hoped to know Xiao Se's condition as soon as possible.Also this morning, the tribesmen laughed heartily when they heard Ah Cha say that Arthur might come out, and then, led by Feng Sheng, they went to dig lotus roots.

Xiao Se followed Ah Ri to the place where the lotus roots were buried, and asked them to remove the snow, revealing the pitiful and frozen lotus roots inside.

"The temperature in the snow is too low, and lotus roots will freeze if left in it." It is best not to store lotus roots below zero, otherwise the crude fiber will freeze and become inedible.

Ah Ri and the others looked at Xiao Se guiltily: "I'm sorry, I didn't know."

"I already told you that I don't know, so why are you still saying sorry?" Xiao Se said to them, "It's only been a few days, they should be usable, dig them out."

Ah Ri still felt apologetic: "You dig these out. Arthur, then I will take people to wash those lotus roots. In order to save time just now, the tribesmen dug lotus roots directly into the mud without washing them with snow. I will do it now." Take someone to wash."

Xiao Se quickly stopped him: "Fortunately, I didn't wash it. The layer of mud on the lotus root is the best way to keep it fresh. No need to wash it, just go and take a look."

After hearing this, Ah Ri's eyes widened with joy: "Really? Then we didn't do anything wrong this time?"

"No." Xiao Se looked at the children. At her age, Ah Ri and the others were not just children to her.

Xiao Se looked at the lotus roots and was very satisfied: "Yes, they are all in one piece. They have not been dug out, so don't remove them yet."

Ah Ri was very happy to be praised: "Well, Fengsheng said that when he dug lotus roots last time, he wanted to see how long the lotus roots were, so he dug out the whole lotus root. Then, the tribesmen competed to see how long they could How many whole lotus roots were dug up?"

Fortunately, it was Fengsheng's clever idea, otherwise it would be difficult to preserve these lotus roots after they were dug up.

Especially they can't dig lotus roots every day because there are too many wild beasts outside.

"Put these lotus roots in an empty house to keep them warm." Because it's too cold on this snowy day, it's better to put them inside the house. The temperature shouldn't be much different.

Xiao Se said to Aguan who was following him: "Go and get some soil, make it as fine as possible, and be careful not to hurt yourself."

Ah Guan was filled with joy: "Arthur, don't worry, we won't hurt ourselves, we're in the tribe."

Arthur asked him to do things, which showed his trust in him. He was so happy that he really wished he could hear her asking him to do things more often.

Having something to do proves that the tribe is getting better and better.

It would be sad if everyone was huddled in the tribe on a snowy day and couldn't do anything, because they would be hungry.

Xiao Se chose an empty house and asked Ah Ri and the others to get some wooden boards to lay on the ground to isolate the ground.

In fact, many things placed on the ground are insulated with wooden boards for fear of rotting, and the same goes for lotus roots.

After laying the planks, the lotus roots with intact mud were placed on top of the planks, and then the soil that Ah Guan and the others found was sprinkled on the lotus roots, and then a layer of lotus roots was placed on the soil, and the cycle continued.

Wash the cut lotus roots with knots still attached, and put them all into a large tank in the kitchen for soaking: "Change the water every two days, so it can be preserved. You can just take it when you eat."

Ah Xi nodded repeatedly and said happily: "Okay, okay, I know. Do you want to make a lotus root meal for lunch today?"

"Of course, eat all the lotus roots buried in the snow." What was dug that time was not much, but it was enough for the whole tribe to have a meal, so Xiao Se used them just in time to avoid spoilage.

Those lotus roots were dug out from the mud during the harvest, but I couldn't bear to throw them away.
