Chapter 229 New Year approached

A few days ago, Wei Xuan accidentally discovered the method of sheep scorpion when looking through his newly collected recipes. He remembered that there were still a lot of sheep spines frozen at home, so he immediately prepared the ingredients, thawed the sheep bones, and soaked the blood. Today After we came together, we started to process the ingredients and made such a big pot.

Usually he basically only uses meat to cook directly, but today he stewed with bone-in meat, which tastes much more delicious than pure stewed meat!

“Oh, sure enough, different dishes need to be made from different parts to be delicious.” Regardless of whether the backbone stewed in the pot was completely crispy or not, Wei Xuan took a large strainer from the side and scooped it up. The pieces came out, put them in a big bowl, and happily carried them back to the big table in the bedroom to eat.

This sheep is very big, so the bones on its body must not be of normal size. Wei Xuan used the largest wok and stew pot that can be found in the community to cook this dish today, but because the bones are too big, he still had to raise a knife to cut each bone together with the chopping board. Chop them into at least four or five pieces before putting them in the pot.

In this way, he only used only three spines, and the pot at home really couldn’t fit it.

Fortunately, the current Wei Xuan has gained a lot of strength after possessing the body of a zombie. He can easily chop up the bones with a kitchen knife.

The spine in the large bowl is red in color, and a fragrant smell is steaming from it. It was the first time for Wei Xuan to dismantle this kind of prey because the prey was too big when the meat was removed, so the dismantling method was very rough, and there was already a thick layer of meat on the bones. At this time, although the flesh and bones have not been completely stewed, the meat has at least become soft and rotten, and a large piece can be torn off with a little force.

There is a spicy taste in the rich soup, which is so delicious that one can almost swallow the whole bone.

Wei Xuan squinted his eyes to enjoy the delicious food in the bowl, and couldn’t help sighing again: “Hey, this is life…Even if you can’t be a human being, maybe you can enjoy the delicious food and be no different from a human being! It’s just that the meat is a bit thick, and it’s still the same. You have to stew it for more flavor.”

While eating, Wei Xuan didn’t forget to feed Du Hang beside him. When eating this food, eating meat is still secondary. The main reason is that the fragrance in the bones and the fat of the bone marrow are stewed out and incorporated into the whole pot of ingredients. While gnawing on the few minced meat on the bones, they are sucked and absorbed by the bones. The delicious soup that goes in is the main body.

In addition, since Wei Xuan changed his physique, he is no longer afraid of spicy food, so even if the pot of lamb and scorpion tastes a bit heavy today, he doesn’t have the slightest pressure to eat it.

Ever since, one piece after another, under the joint efforts of the two of them, it didn’t take long for the sheep scorpion that should have been stewed to be thoroughly tasted by them to be completely wiped out…

It doesn’t matter if you eat it all, there are still a lot of them in the refrigerator at home! Anyway, Wei Xuan has nothing to do except play games recently, so he was so excited that he simply took Du Hang into the room where a lot of food was frozen, and compared the lamb spine, sheep’s feet, sheep’s tail, and meat Many bones from other parts were collected.

Except for the lamb chops and the big stick bones reserved for making the broth, chop them up, season them and stir-fry them, divide them into large and small pots and let them chug…

Fortunately, his home appliances are sufficient, and he has an energy conversion device that can “burn” snowflakes to stew vegetables. He also has a lot of coal collected by hand that can be used to stew meat. Don’t even think about warming up anytime soon.

———————

The weather outside is too cold, which will make people in a warm room too lazy to go out or even get up from bed. Regarding this, even zombies are the same.

Wei Xuan is such a lazy zombie now.

Since he stewed all the sheep bones at home, he has been living a luxurious life of gnawing bones, singing songs, and sitting in front of the TV playing games every day.

Outside the window, there is a world of ice and snow in the cold wind. The room is a warm and happy home filled with the smell of stewed lamb and scorpion. Oh, and there are also zombie boyfriends who can be used as human-shaped back cushions, human-shaped pillows, and human-shaped O-sticks at any time…

It’s just that this human-shaped object is not very obedient, and it doesn’t only act when Wei Xuan thinks about certain things, but when he wants to, he will get tired of coming and doing all kinds of tricks.

Wei Xuan was very suspicious at this time, did this guy have rich experience before? Otherwise, how could I fall into the trap as soon as he teases me?

In this regard, Wei Xuan will never admit that he has no resistance, or that he is so introverted and upright like him, how could he be so unreserved?

When the last sheep bone was eaten by Wei Xuan, Wei Xuan checked the electronic watch on his wrist and the calendar in his mobile phone.

The Spring Festival this year is earlier, at the end of January. Although this day is not very meaningful to today’s world, Wei Xuan, who has nothing to do, is still ready to celebrate the Spring Festival, and work hard to add bricks and tiles to his and Du Hang’s stomachs.

Who made it so that although his appetite has grown, the time when he can really cook has become less? There are still a lot of chicken and mutton left at home, so I can cook some food in the same way, and I can’t finish eating those things by this time next year.

Thinking of this, Wei Xuan dragged Du Hang out of the room in the early morning of the next day—that’s right, he didn’t even take a step out of the door these days! At least half a month has passed since the last time he wandered around the community!

During this period, there were two more snowfalls outside. The zombie boys were allowed to live in the room by Wei Xuan, and the weather is really bad now, so apart from the occasional zombies coming out during the day to wander around twice to get some fresh air and look at the scenery, they usually stay in the room very obediently. This also led to the accumulation of a thick layer of snow on the road outside at this time, and every step down could create a pit of at least ten centimeters.

Although Wei Xuan didn’t go out during this period, he stood at the window every day to look out at the scenery and the situation in the community. After his observation for a period of time, he can confirm that among his zombie brothers, those who come out to wander around every day are basically zombies of a certain age.

In addition, many zombies were brought back to the community by Wei Xuan when he went out to move things. It may have been a subconscious choice at that time, and most of the zombies he pulled back were young and strong male zombies. Therefore, most of the older zombies and female zombies in the community are residents who originally lived here.

So at this time, there are very few people who will stroll around the community.

Among them, represented by Du Hang’s father, most of them are middle-aged and elderly uncles and aunts who have the habit of walking. On the other hand, most of the younger zombies in the community are more homebound and more accustomed to activities indoors. Wei Xuan could observe them wandering behind the windows of that building from the window.

When tidying up his things before, Wei Xuan deliberately organized most of the edible and useful things into the building where he lived. Even if they are not in the same building, they are at least in the same building. So even though the road outside became extremely difficult, he didn’t need to take a few extra steps.

When I went out, the weather outside was fine, and several zombies were dangling on the road with difficulty. Seeing Wei Xuan and Du Hang coming out, they were very excited to hop over in the heavy snow, and it was not until Wei Xuan was near that they heard what they were calling—”Move things, move things…”, “Work, work…”

Faced with his zombie brother’s enthusiastic attitude towards work, Wei Xuan silently recalled his own attitude towards work and life before the apocalypse—although he was very serious and hardworking at that time, but… he could rest Who wants to be busy every day?

Or is it actually because his zombie brothers have been idle for too long and feel uncomfortable? In addition, they now have almost inexhaustible power, so this is why they strive for every job opportunity?

Thinking of this, the guilty Wei Xuan didn’t wave away these enthusiastic little brothers. After thinking about it, he decided to take a few of them to help him move things together, although he probably wouldn’t bring too many things back.

When he came to the room where all kinds of food were stored, Wei Xuan thought about it as he walked, and then patted himself on the forehead—stupid, isn’t he? What are you going to eat for Chinese New Year? Make dumplings! Now he has mutton at home and the carrots he had saved before. If he doesn’t eat now, when will he wait? But the only thing that needs a headache is the flour.

The amount of flour and rice that Wei Xuan got back before was not much. After three years of storage in the last days…God knows if those things can still be eaten?

If you can eat it, it’s easy to handle. Just make a stuffing and wrap some dumplings or eat it directly, or freeze it. But what if you can’t eat it? That can only turn to do something else to enrich the dinner table.

Thinking of this, after wandering around for a couple of times, Wei Xuan finally asked the zombie boys to help him pick up a pack of unopened white noodles, some stored carrots that he took the time to pull out of the open space in the community before winter, and was going to go to another room to get them. When I was looking for some other ingredients, I accidentally saw a lot of messy things.

“How did you forget about them?” Tapping his forehead, Wei Xuan felt a headache. He was going to get rid of these things before, but he was busy with things a while ago, and he was too busy recently, so he left them behind. Until now I just remembered when I saw it—there are piles of expired cans piled up in these rooms!

Although all of them have expired, the appearance of most of these cans remains intact, there are no problems such as bulging or damage, and it is very likely that they can still be eaten. But Wei Xuan doesn’t need these things now, and if he puts them away, he can only wait for them to deteriorate slowly, which is really a waste.

Turning his head to look at the sky outside, Wei Xuan had a sudden whim—the Chinese New Year is coming soon, his physical strength and speed are far beyond ordinary people, and he has stayed at home for so long recently… Why don’t we just go around?
