Cannon Fodder Just Wants to Farm (MTL)

Chapter 80: Sauerkraut Soup

The county brought the livestock back and slaughtered them. There is no need to use salt for pork, chicken, duck and goose meat. Once buried in the snow, it will be freezing in less than two hours.

Nowadays, heavy snow has blocked roads and supplies have been cut off everywhere. Thanks to the advance arrangements made by their county magistrate, everyone has saved some food, but it is not as easy as before to eat meat.

This time when the pig was slaughtered, even the pig blood, which is usually the most despised, was kept. Eggs and various seasonings were added to it, steamed, cut into pieces, and the pig blood cake was stewed with sauerkraut. There was no fishy smell.

This time, He Zifeng was in charge of cooking sauerkraut. A huge pot is used, which is said to be a large iron spoon used during marches. Even one person couldn't stir it up. It took three or four people each to hold a shovel as big as a shovel to prevent the pot from getting stuck. After cooking a pot of sauerkraut, blood sausage and white meat, the county has its own tofu shop. More than 200 pieces of frozen tofu were frozen in advance and poured in batches. The cauldron boiled for several hours. When it's cooked, take it out and stew new ones in, so it cooks faster.

Even the county magistrate didn't eat at home, waiting to eat this big pot of rice.

Soon a steaming bowl of stew was served, and just the smell made his eyes light up. The county magistrate steamed rice in his small kitchen, and he took a piece of pig blood cake and tasted it, which was tender and smooth. Add some more sauerkraut. It is said that more than ten cooks spent the whole night cooking it. Crisp and yet sour, it whets your appetite and immediately grabs some rice.

After taking this bite, I still want to take another bite.

The county magistrate picked up another piece of frozen tofu. The frozen tofu in the county is made of old tofu. It's like a honeycomb with sour soup hidden inside. Once you eat it, you'll immediately make up for it with a big mouthful of rice. It's so satisfying.

Big pot dishes are not as refined as those cooked on a small stove, but they are more appetizing than those cooked on a small stove. It snowed continuously, and the county magistrate felt as if a layer of fog had enveloped his heart. I haven't been in the mood to eat for several days. I started to get craving for it when I smelled the fragrance when I came to the Yamen today. I couldn't stop eating. By the time my stomach felt full, I had already eaten three times.

Even with the rice soaked in pickled cabbage soup and a few soy sauce chili peppers, he felt like he could eat another bowl.

Too much food.

The soy sauce chili was brought by He Zifeng, and he originally brought it for himself. But these government officials always try to take advantage of him. No idea, he took a small jar and found the bottom in two days. The spicy and crispy taste was particularly good. I heard that the government officials were all trying to chip in, so I wanted him to buy it.

He Zifeng took another jar and said that he didn't make much at home. Now the government officials were reluctant to eat it, so they limited it to two chili peppers per person. He was not allowed to take more, so Capt. Zhu told it as a joke to the county magistrate, but the county magistrate actually took it seriously. I also made some decent chili pickles to eat. Who would have thought that once I eat, I can't stop.

In winter, without the salty and fiery flavor of this chili pepper, it always feels like something is missing.

If only he had known that the county would pay for it and stock up on a few tanks. The county magistrate knew that He Zifeng had this talent for making things, so he asked him to make the sauerkraut stew at the Yamenkou this time. It certainly didn't disappoint at all. The county magistrate wouldn't let me throw away the half-pot of pickled cabbage soup left at noon!
