Chapter 123 Vacuum Packing
Qi Ning felt relieved knowing that Xiaobai was fine, but he was also very distressed. He kept touching Xiaobai's back, trying to make it feel more comfortable.
Xu Si was just about to clean up the vomit when Qinghuan snatched the broom away from him and he let her do it.
By the time everyone was eating the cold rabbit, they had finished eating all the meat scraps inside, but they were still trying to find another bite.
It tastes good when eaten hot, and even better when eaten cold. It smells so good that people will lick their fingers.
"Can this really be kept? It won't go bad by the time it's delivered." Shen Yanchen glanced at the cold-cooked rabbit in the bowl and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Xu Si glanced at him. They were clearly words of concern, but why did they feel so suspicious?
"I have a new idea."
"OK then."
"Why do you feel a little disappointed?"
Lou Yuexin smiled secretly, "It's obvious that he wants to keep it for himself."
"Mom, I didn't." Shen Yanchen explained in a panic.
Isn't he afraid of wasting it? And although he knew that Xu Si was just being polite, he still felt a little jealous. Why didn't he show some appreciation to him?
He also has money, although not much, maybe only a few hundredths of Lan Lizhou's, but he is willing to give it all to her.
"But to be honest, this cold rabbit is really delicious." Su Jinyue savored it.
Hearing this, Xu Si took out a pair of clean chopsticks and picked up a few pieces of meat, and handed them to Su Jinyue, "Then let's make spicy rabbit head tonight. It will be as famous as the cold rabbit."
"Okay, okay," Su Jinyue took it and fed the first piece to Xu Si, and then started eating it herself.
She pinched the soft flesh around her waist, feeling like crying but unable to do so.
At first I thought about controlling my diet, but later I let myself go and I don’t know when an extra piece of fat appeared on my stomach.
Shen Jingchuan even comforted her by saying that she was not fat, that she felt soft and comfortable, which made her lose all sense of herself.
The more I thought about it, the sadder I felt, and my appetite grew.
However, most animals gain weight in winter, becoming so fat that they look sad and cute.
Some animals in a zoo were said to be fat by netizens, and the zoo responded that they were trying to keep fat for the winter.
"By the way, Ah Si, what solution have you come up with?" Lou Yuexin was very curious.
Xu Si kept it a secret, "Well, you'll know about this later. I'll prepare the tools first."
Fold the oil paper into the shape of a bag and glue it all around, leaving only the opening.
There was glue in ancient times, otherwise how could there be the phrase "as close as glue and paint"?
In ancient times, glue was extracted from animal materials such as fish bladders, pig skin, cow hide, or deer and ox horns, as well as plant materials such as glutinous rice and raw lacquer.
Pigskin and cowhide glues are most commonly used by carpenters, and glutinous rice from plants is often mixed into mortar in construction and used to connect bricks.
Raw lacquer is used to glue some small objects, such as golden fans, but when making relatively demanding weapons, musical instruments and utensils, higher quality adhesives are needed, so the ancients would mix animal glue and plant glue together to make a glue with super strong viscosity.
One has to admire their wisdom.
"Do you have any thin tubes at home? I want the hollow ones." Xu Si looked around the kitchen but didn't see anything suitable, so he started looking for help outside.
"Here are some bamboo tubes, can they be used?" Shen Anyi pulled out some bamboos of different lengths from the corner. Originally, he wanted to try to make a flute, but later he gave up because he didn't have the skills.
For fear of embarrassment, he threw it into the firewood pile, but now he dug it out again by himself.
If I were to use an emoticon to describe him, it would be the little yellow round head with closed eyes and a black circle around his mouth.
Xu Si looked at the dirty bamboos, some of which had holes punched on them, and politely declined, "Not a good idea, they're too thick."
But it is true, how thin can a flute be?
"Why don't we go to the river and find some reeds?" Lou Yuexin suggested.
"Forget it, that's too far away."
She thought about it, picked a leaf from the pot where onions were planted, and pinched off the top. Although it was a little different from the tube she had expected, it was much better than the bamboo.
Put the cold rabbit into an oil-paper bag, divide it into two bags, and glue the opening tightly, leaving only a small hole for inserting the scallion tube.
"Who of you will cooperate with me?"
"What should we do?" Everyone gathered around.
"One of you will inhale through this scallion tube and try to expel the air inside. The moment you pull out the scallion tube, I will seal your mouth."
That's right, what she wants to do is a simple version of vacuum packaging.
"I'll do it," Shen Yanchen volunteered. It sounded interesting.
"You? Can you really do it?" Xu Si was a little hesitant. She wanted to do it in one go and didn't want to waste time on it.
"Of course I can. Very well."
How can a man be said to be incompetent? He can't be said to be incompetent at anything.
Shen Yanchen patted his chest and said, "I am very good at holding my breath. Staying underwater for a while is no problem, let alone just taking a breath."
Xu Si half-believed and half-doubted, made room for him, used his hands to pressurize the air out of the bag as much as possible, inserted the scallion tube, and then said, "Then you can inhale it."
Shen Yanchen exhaled, inhaled hard, and the bag gradually flattened, fitting the food tightly.
It was not until Shen Yanchen felt the limit that he pressed the small hole left in the bag and then took a breath.
While pulling out the onion tube, Xu Si immediately sealed it with glue.
Do the same with the other bag.
Others curiously pressed the packaged cold rabbit, as it was the first time they had seen such a sealing method.
The operation is not difficult, but it is laborious and requires a strong lung capacity.
"Then we can use this method to pack other things in the future. Wouldn't they be able to be preserved for a long time?"
"It can last longer, but I don't know how much longer."
Xu Si couldn't say for sure. After all, it was wrapped in oil paper. If it was replaced with plastic, it would naturally be more airtight.
Seeing that it was done, Shen Anyi picked up the jar of meat sauce prepared on the side and held it in his arms, "Give me the cold rabbit too, hold it here."
He heard that a caravan doing fur trade was going to the capital the next day, so he contacted one of the people and asked him to help deliver a message.
Because of this, Xu Si prepares the food one day in advance so that it can be fresher.
According to Xu Si's advice, he chose to pay on delivery, which means waiting for the other party to deliver the letter and then let Lan Lizhou pay. He also explained this in the letter.
It's not that I'm reluctant to spend money, it's just for the sake of being safer.
The other party also accepted this form, but asked for more money.
"Did you bring the letter?" Seeing that he was about to leave, Lou Yuexin hurried to confirm.
"I have it. It's in my arms."
Although Shen Anyi said so, Lou Yuexin still took it out from his arms to have a look, then she felt relieved.
Xu Si also has this problem. Before going out, he has to check several times to see if he has taken all his belongings with him, especially to check whether the door is locked.
It is said that this is called obsessive-compulsive disorder of checking things. Although I find it annoying, if I don’t check it, I will keep thinking about it when I go out, which is even more troublesome.
