Chapter 335: Primitive Tribe Chieftain Mother-in-law 55

“Pan-fried buns?”

Xing looked curious.

"Yes."

"Mom, where did you learn this from? And are these things all gifts from the Beast God?" Xing asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Just take it as it is and don't ask so many questions. Remember, don't ask so many questions, as long as there is delicious food." Yun Xi started to knead the dough.

Xing immediately shut up.

The ingredients are prepared: flour, yeast, pork, cabbage, vermicelli, onion, ginger, salt, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and pepper powder.

Add one packet of yeast to four scoops of flour, add water and stir until it becomes dough, knead it into dough, seal it and let it rise until it is twice as large.

Wash the wild boar meat, chop it into minced meat, add chopped green onion and ginger, pepper powder, dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, and stir thoroughly in one direction.

Cut the cabbage into shreds and squeeze out the moisture, chop the vermicelli and put it in, add salt, chicken essence and cooking oil, mix well again, and the filling is ready.

After the dough has risen, move it to a kneading mat, knead it thoroughly until smooth, roll it into long strips, cut it into small pieces, roll it into bun wrappers that are slightly thicker in the middle and slightly thinner at the edges, wrap the fillings in them, and pinch them into small buns.

Brush the pan with oil (you can use a little more oil), put the buns in, cover with a lid, and let them rise for 10 to 15 minutes.

Then pour in flour water (mix flour and water in a ratio of 1:10), cover with a lid and fry over medium-high heat to evaporate all the water. Fry the bottom until golden and crispy before serving.

The bottom of the pan-fried buns made in this way is crispy and delicious, and the filling is fresh and juicy. It is so delicious that you will easily overeat if you are not careful.

If you want the bottom to be crispy and form ice flowers, you need to put a little more oil in the bottom of the pot, or you can stir the oil into the flour water, alternating between medium and low heat throughout the process.

"Mom, I can already smell the fragrance."

Xing sat on a small stool and obediently made fire, her eyes never leaving her mother's actions.

"It doesn't seem difficult. Mom, I'll do it next time."

"I'll let you try it next time." Yun Xi looked at the time, opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma burst out. The buns were perfect.

"It's time to eat. This pot has about thirty of them, which should be enough for the two of us. There's also a pot of spicy soup." Yun Xi put the next pot on top and ate with her daughter.

The child Xing drank three full bowls of spicy soup and ate twenty-five fried dumplings.

"Oh my goodness, aren't you full?"

"Not full, it feels just right." Xing felt unsatisfied. "Should we give these to the priest?"

"Yes, I'll take care of it. You should go back and get some rest. The weather is getting colder. In two or three days, we will have the coldest days of the year. The temperature at night can drop to over 30 degrees below zero. Remember to keep the kang heated throughout the day and don't skimp on firewood."

Yun Xi gave Xing a bowl of spicy soup and about forty pan-fried dumplings, then left in a hurry. The temperature was about to drop again, so she wanted to visit her clan members and see how they were doing.

The snow was melting, and the moonlight outside the palace gradually faded. The north wind gently tapped the eaves and window frames of the palace. Bells rang softly all night long. The bright moon was like silver, shining on the accumulated snow, making the night clear and bright.

Like gold bricks on the street in the daytime, cold and shining, like a galaxy, like broken jade.

The winter rain, mixed with fine ice and snow, rustled against the leaves, like spring silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves. The sky was gray, and the light snow, like fine willow catkins, drifted down from the sky to the earth.

It was a lonely winter day. Snowflakes splattered the ridges of the Golden Palace's ridged roof, quickly piling up thickly. The long streets were silent, the alleys were hushed, the sky and earth were a blanket of white. From time to time, the sound of bells rustling in the wind rang out, like the tinkling of rings and pendants.

Yun Xi took out a ladder and climbed onto the roof of the temple, sweeping away the thick fallen snow one by one. Not knowing the load-bearing capacity of the roof, she had to clear the snow more diligently. The yard in front of the temple, which Lang and Bing had just swept all afternoon, was covered with a thick layer of snow again, so she swept it clean as well, and then set out on her visit.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, I have been in Golden City for more than half a year. The city has good greenery. In spring, it is covered with lush green grass, in summer, it is full of flowers, in autumn, the flowers and trees turn yellow, and the trees slowly wither, until the snow falls in winter.

The plum blossoms under the palace eaves, with their snow-like appearance and icy appearance, are reflected against the gorgeous red walls, which is very beautiful.

It was a snowy night, and the moonlight shone on the frosted bricks outside the palace, creating a cold and shimmering scene. Outside the window, large flakes of snow began to drift. The heavy snow, which had stopped for several days, had finally begun to fall again, unexpected yet predictable.

Most of the tribesmen are hardworking, but there are also some lazy ones. Firewood is piled up randomly in the yard without even waterproofing. Yun Xi scolded them when she encountered such people. It is really hard to say what to say about people who don't even care about their own safety.

Some families had no plans and had already consumed most of their food. Yun Xi gathered these families together and asked them to go hunting together tomorrow.

Some families don't even go up to the roof to sweep the snow. It's really weird in their own way, and you have to worry about it yourself.

Finally, they arrived at the children's home. There were orphans here, who were looked after by the elders of the tribe. There were also tribesmen who came here every day to take care of the children, so the children were relatively safe. The only problem was that there was not much food, and they overate every day. Yun Xi decided to take the children over five years old out for a walk and hunt some game before the cold wave came.

When they arrived at the Dragon Palace, Xing changed from his usual expectant look and became so nervous that he kept turning around.

"What? What happened? Are the dragon eggs and phoenix eggs roasted?" Yun Xi ran to take a look, but found nothing unusual.

Xing said in a deep voice: "Chief, the beast tide has arrived early!"

"What? Are you saying that the beast tide comes earlier every spring?" Yun Xi changed the subject, "But there's no need to worry too much, right? The beast tide every year isn't dangerous. As long as you don't provoke it, it will pass quickly. If you're lucky, you can even follow behind and pick up the prey that's been trampled to death."

The beast tide is the annual animal migration. We experienced one last year. The tribe followed the beast tide and picked up a lot of prey. There seemed to be a beast tide in the inherited memory. In winter, animals would find a place to spend the winter, and return when it got warmer in spring.

"No, the animals are starving in winter, unlike the last beast tide." Xing said, "I need to make some arrangements in the city. I need to use the power of the totem spirits to set up a barrier to protect the Golden City. Although the Golden City is huge, I don't want the buildings to be destroyed. However, I don't have much power. If I don't use the power of the totem spirits, I'm afraid I can't complete such a large-scale barrier."

"Well, I have an idea. I will take the children out hunting tomorrow. Remember to pay attention to the children according to the totem mark and don't let them get into danger." Yun Xi sat on the kang and looked at the egg.

"How old of a child does the Patriarch plan to take out?"

"Anyone over five years old, probably. Before the beast tide came, there weren't many animals outside, so it wasn't dangerous. Everyone had animal skins to wear, so they weren't cold. It's good to go out for a walk. Children have to grow up eventually."

"Yeah, you have to grow up."

Xing left with the dragon staff, and Yun Xi lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
