Survival on a deserted island, a fake daughter raises a tiger cub and makes the star cry

Chapter 250 Eating hot pot

Back home, the two friends had already prepared most of the ingredients.

They even go to the beach to process the prey that the cubs bring back.

Remove the internal organs from cattle, sheep, rabbits, and roe deer, clean them thoroughly, cut them into pieces about the size of a fist, and place them evenly on a plate.

They were preparing to marinate the food when Shi Nianqing came over and saw them starting, so she quickly stopped them.

"Don't touch them yet. After cleaning these things, put them outside and soak them in cold water. Then wait for them to freeze. Once they're frozen, they can be stored outside for a long time."

The temperature is dropping very quickly now; you can clearly feel that the perceived temperature is already around -10 degrees Celsius.

The snow is still falling outside, so it's a good time to prepare some fresh meat and freeze it.

Like in my past life in Northeast China, we could make mini-fridges out of ice and store the things they often eat outside.

In winter, we don't have to go out hunting all day.

"And the fruit we ate before, we can bury it directly in the snow outside. Once it's hard and melted, it will taste delicious."

Shi Nianqing kept telling them how to preserve food in winter, leaving her two friends speechless.

They used to marinate these meats and then put them in the smoking room to dry them, which allowed them to be preserved for a long time.

This is the first time I've heard of such a way of preservation.

"And this beef and mutton. After we freeze them solid, we can slice them thinly with a dagger. They'll be perfect for hot pot."

"You can add some fat to increase the fat content."

As Shi Nianqing spoke, she began to soak the prepared items in water before placing them aside.

Meanwhile, fresh beef and lamb are piled together with fat, wrapped in a cloth, and frozen into cylindrical shapes.

You can just use a dagger to cut it down.

"We don't have enough time today, but we'll make that kind of tool specifically for slicing beef and lamb rolls when we have the chance later!"

The viewers in the live stream were thoroughly enjoying themselves.

I don't know why, but I find their way of handling these things really interesting.

Since Shi Youyou left, Sister Shi has clearly felt much happier.

[Can you really eat it like this? Suddenly I have an "aha!" moment]

Does eating hot pot this way really taste good?

Is it really safe to eat fresh, frozen meat that's then sliced?

I've suddenly become a little curious.

……

Shi Nianqing and her friends froze all the meat until it was solid, and then made a simple bucket that could be opened and closed using bamboo.

Put it outside.

"We don't have time now. We'll make a refrigerator using water when it gets a bit colder."

They also cut a lot of beef and mutton rolls; the thin beef and mutton rolls looked strangely appealing.

You don't have to worry about it becoming soft and limp if you put it outside.

At the same time, take out the hot pot base from before; there's still quite a bit of the hot pot base we made earlier.

I was initially thinking that the weather was too hot to preserve it for very long, but I didn't expect the temperature to drop so drastically now. I reckon there might not even be enough to eat in winter.

We can make more then; it's good to eat more hot pot in winter.

Prepare the pheasant we brought back today and put it in a clay pot to simmer.

Next, I prepared the other ingredients. The dried vegetables needed to be soaked, and there was seaweed and other things. Everything was prepared and neatly arranged on the table. I even boiled some meat bones in water so that the little ones could have a share.

The remaining bones were all frozen and stored outside, and can be used to make bone broth later.

Drinking lots of soups and broths in winter is so comforting.

Once everything was ready, the broth, which had been simmering for several hours, was added to the hot pot base they had prepared.

Shi Nianqing prepared two different dipping sauces.

One is spicier, and the other has mint and lemon added, making it more refreshing.

Two different seasonings, eat whichever you like.

"Let's start our first hot pot of winter."

The number of viewers in the live stream kept soaring from the moment the hotpot was prepared until it was fully ready, reaching its peak.

There were so many comments in the live stream chat that you couldn't even keep up with them all.

Shi Nianqing's live stream has attracted as many as 10 billion viewers, making it one of the top three live streams among all streamers.

The system in Shi Nianqing's mind kept yelling, but Shi Nianqing calmly let him exchange points.

After the redemption was completed, the number of people continued to rise, but it wasn't as significant.

From the moment they sat down to eat hotpot, Shi Nianqing ignored the comments in the live stream.

Hot pot is so comforting to eat in winter.

"Mint hot pot is really delicious, it's cool and refreshing with a unique and pleasant taste."

"And this beef and mutton roll is completely different from the beef and mutton I've had before. It's so delicious to eat like this."

"Sister Shi, you're simply a god! How did you come up with so many delicious things?"

"It's so delicious! Suddenly I feel like we didn't have enough meat rolls."

Suya and Wu Xuan ate and praised the food, saying it was so delicious.

The steaming hot pot was constantly emitting heat. The weather was extremely cold after the snowfall, but the people eating the hot pot were all sweating.

They even peeled off the outer layer of fur and hung it directly on their waist.

"It's so delicious, absolutely delicious!"

"These dried vegetables are delicious, as are the vegetables we grow and these dried shiitake mushrooms. They're absolutely amazing."

"How can something taste so good? It's even better than eating hot pot when it's hot."

"Can we eat hot pot every day?"

Su Ya and Wu Xuan stared longingly at Shi Nianqing; it was clear that they both really loved hot pot.

Shi Nianqing inexplicably felt like teasing them: "Really? But there are so many things to eat in winter, like braised chicken, dry-fried beef, and lamb spine. Are you sure you want to eat hot pot every day?"

These are all foods we eat in winter. Before the apocalypse started in my previous life, my favorite thing to do in winter was to eat all kinds of delicious food with my friends.

Suya and Wu Xuan quickly shook their heads: "No, no, no, we want to eat lots and lots of delicious food."

"This is great. We don't look like we're here for wilderness survival at all. It looks like we're here for a vacation on this strange planet."

"I wonder how my family will develop this planet. I feel it would be perfect for a vacation."

"Probably, but it also depends on the commercial value. Even people who don't know much about this research on replicating Earth know that this project exists and a lot of money has been spent on it. At least until it's recovered, these things won't be cheap."

"It's a pity, I wonder when ordinary people will be able to experience these activities..."

"Let's wait until we've recovered most of the funds..."
