My Ranch

The noodles are ready! After seeing that the noodles had begun to ferment, Qi Ya also looked at Jiang Hai and said to him with a smile.

Hearing Qi Ya's words, Jiang Hai couldn't help but smile, and then discussed with her what stuffing to make.

When eating dumplings in the Northeast, there are four common fillings. One is leek meat, the other is cabbage meat, the third is pickled cabbage meat, and the fourth is three fresh foods. Let’s talk about leek meat first. Everyone has eaten leeks. According to legend, it is better for men and is also known as aphrodisiac.

This food is very popular in China, but abroad, foreigners do not eat leeks because they have a very smelly smell.

Leeks are also called vegetarian in Buddhism. People who are true believers in Buddhism do not eat leeks.

Americans also think the taste is weird, and the most important thing is that leeks are particularly prone to bugs.

The live bugs are called leek maggots, which are extremely harmful and disgusting, so no one in the United States eats them.

Jiang Hai usually likes to eat leeks and scrambled eggs, so he planted some, but very few. This plant should be a perennial plant. If you cut one plant, another plant will grow, but because it grew too much, , it just doesn’t taste good.

The most delicious leeks were in March, but now, in August, the leeks are no longer tasty.

Needless to say about cabbage, everyone knows that cabbage is grown in Jiang Hai’s manor.

Sauerkraut in China is somewhat different due to the differences between the north and the south. Although the sauerkraut in the south is also pickled, it is pickled with large leaf greens, also called green vegetables. The Laotan sauerkraut advertised in the advertisement is the sauerkraut mentioned in it. This kind of sauerkraut is used to make pickled fish, pickled vermicelli, etc.

The sauerkraut in the north is sour cabbage. After being pickled, it is sour and delicious. When used to make dumplings, it will not be very refreshing and not too greasy. However, Jiang Hai doesn't like eating this very much, and now No sauerkraut either.

That stuff is soaked in autumn and eaten in winter.

Dumplings filled with three kinds of fresh food basically refer to leeks, meat and shrimps, but as mentioned before, the current leeks are not very delicious.

And the most important thing is that foreigners don't eat leeks, so Jiang Hai and Qi Ya thought it was a bit troublesome.

Do you want it wrapped in cabbage? If it doesn't work, I can only wrap it with cabbage and meat.

What's the point in this? We can stuff whatever stuffing we want. It's not for the sake of it. After hearing what Jiang Hai and Qi Ya said, Wallis Shelley here has been watching. Looking at them, he asked with some doubts.

Uh, that's right... What kind of filling is better? Hearing her words, Jiang Hai and Qi Ya looked at each other, then smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, glanced at each other, and then summed up.

To eat dumplings, you must have pork. The fish and shrimp here are pretty good. How about getting one with cabbage, fish, shrimp, and pork? After thinking about it, the only choice for the main ingredient of the dish now is cabbage. , but there are many choices when it comes to meat.

You can choose whatever you want. I added cabbage because I was afraid that it would taste boring if it was all meat. I added some cabbage to make it refreshing.

Okay, I'll go and prepare these things first, and then call them back by the way so that I can help them later. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai also slapped his forehead and said eagerly. Originally, this proposal was made by him. Yes, naturally it was up to him to make the decision now. Thinking of this, he wanted to get up and leave, but was held back by Qi Ya.

Why are you in a hurry now? It will be noon soon. Just talk to them when they come back for lunch later. After hearing her words, Jiang Hai also scratched his head, as if ha, he really There are some who are too excited.

After laughing awkwardly, Jiang Hai and Qi Ya also studied how to make these dumplings for a while.

Dumplings are wrapped in different ways, cooked in different ways, and called the same. The boiled ones are called dumplings, and they use leavened noodles. They taste good with soup and water. After eating, have a bowl of dumpling soup, and the original soup becomes the original food. , feeling very comfortable.

Steamed dumplings are called steamed dumplings, and they require hot noodles. The method of mixing the noodles is different.

Dumplings fried in a pan are called pan-fried dumplings. Pan-fried dumplings are also divided into pan-fried and water-fried dumplings. They use dead noodles. They taste fragrant and crispy, but if you eat too much, you will feel uncomfortable in your stomach because they are not easy to digest... …

After Jiang Hai and Qi Ya studied it for a while, they decided to cook part of it and steam part of it. Before they knew it, it was lunch time.

Aphra and the others also worked hard all morning and returned home. After taking a shower, they all made lunch together.

While eating, Jiang Hai told them about eating dumplings in the evening.

Although no one knows how to make dumplings, it is quite good to be enthusiastic about eating dumplings, especially Darlene and Marianne.

Last year, Jiang Hai took them with him when he went back to celebrate the New Year. During the New Year, they didn’t always eat dumplings in the Northeast. After eating them for a while, they became addicted to them, but unfortunately they haven’t eaten them since they came back.

As for other people, they have only heard of eating dumplings before, and few of them have really eaten authentic ones. Of course, Qi Ya, Qi Jie, Ai Xiaoxi and Feng Yunchen from China all eat them frequently. Now that they hear it Jiang Hai said he wanted to eat dumplings, and they really wanted to.

After deciding to eat dumplings in the evening, everyone began to get busy in batches.

The preparation of pork, fish, and shrimp is naturally Jiang Hai's business. As for cleaning up after returning, chopping stuffing, etc., it is all left to these women.

After having lunch, Jiang Hai went to get the ingredients. He went to get the pork first.

Jiang Hai raised pigs in his manor. I don't know if he still remembers it. He returned to China in the middle of last year.

In addition to getting a lot of Yangtze saury and yellow-lipped fish, he also got a lot of things on the ground, including meat donkeys from Lu Province, fragrant pigs from Congjiang, nine pounds of yellow chicken, Shawo radish, Langshan chicken, and rice...

After the beginning of spring this year, rice and radishes have been planted, but they are not ripe yet. However, some pigs and chickens have been eaten. Chickens grow very fast. In China, normal broiler chickens, It was ready for sale in a month and a half.

At that time, Jiang Hai still remembered that someone was hacking Kaifeng Cai on the Internet, saying that he used white-feathered broiler chickens, which were put on the market in two months. What kind of chicken could this be? This must be due to steroids or something. Jiang Hai was also a keyboard player at the beginning.

But then he had a distant relative from the countryside. When he came to the city to do business, he had dinner at his house. He mentioned this matter while talking. Then the man said: It took two months to put on the market, so the chicken is not all old. Already?

Later, Jiang Hai checked and found out that, generally speaking, broiler chickens are forty to fifty days old.

Free-range chickens raised in rural areas, also known as native chickens and stupid chickens, can only be raised for a long time, but basically no more than a year.

Jiang Hai's chickens are completely free-range chickens and are basically kept for fun.

If the eggs are laid, collect them. If you cannot collect them in time, they will hatch as soon as they hatch. If you want to eat them, kill one to eat them.

So a lot of chickens were killed, but not too many donkeys and pigs.

Jiang Hai's target this time was those pigs. Among the pigs Jiang Hai bought, there were many boars and many sows, but basically the boars had undergone surgery and could practice the Sunflower Book. After breeding, only one breeding pig was left.

In ancient China, few people ate pork, because if the boar did not undergo the surgery, the meat would be smelly and irritating.

So in real terms, when China began to eat pork seriously, it started in the Ming Dynasty.

Although it was popularized in the Song Dynasty, not many people really ate it. Before the Ming Dynasty, dignitaries had to eat mutton, but beef was not available. It was an important production tool, and ordinary people ate dog meat. .

That’s why there was such a saying in ancient times, “Putting sheep’s heads on dogs’ meat” also means shoddy goods.

After almost a year of breeding, it is no exaggeration to say that each of Jiang Hai's fragrant pigs are fat and strong.

But this pig is a fragrant pig after all. After raising it for a year, it is not very big. It is not like the old sows weighing several hundred kilograms in the countryside. When you go there, it is so fierce, not to mention the dog, and even the human pig. Sometimes you have to give way.

Jiang Hai's fragrant pigs are not big in size. Basically, these pigs rarely weigh more than 30 kilograms. However, because the food eaten here in Jiang Hai is spiritual, even though they are not big, their weight has increased. Some of them were basically about 40 kilograms, but the meat quality was quite good. After Jiang Hai drove a four-wheeled motorcycle to the outside of the fragrant pig nest, he went directly in and grabbed a fragrant pig, and killed it conveniently by the river. Well, with Jiang Hai's current physical fitness, it's just a pig, what use can it be?

Because Jiang Hai did not have the habit of eating slaughtered pork, he threw all the blood and internal organs into the river he dug, leaving only the pig liver, which was the only thing he ate. If he threw it into the river, these things would not be destroyed. There are a lot of fish in the river at this time.

In addition to those raised by Jiang Hai, there are also many eels and the like, which are all fun.

After briefly cleaning up the pigs, Jiang Hai pulled the pigs back first. Qi Ya and the others naturally knew how to clean up the pork, and then Jiang Hai rode his small four-wheel motorcycle to the beach.

After diving into the sea, I first caught a lot of abalone and sea cucumbers. These should be chopped into pieces and wrapped in dumplings, which is equally delicious.

Then he made another piece of salmon, a dumpling stuffed with salmon. He had never eaten it before. He also caught a lot of shrimp, because it was to be wrapped in the dumplings, and shrimps that were too big were not good, so they were all caught. They are some small Arctic red shrimps.

After everything was done, he returned home. When he returned home, the women had almost tidied up the pigs. Normally tidying up the pigs was very troublesome, but because Jiang Hai and the others did not As for eating the skin, it is easy to just peel off the skin. There is no need to burn the pig hair or anything, and the pig head is thrown away and no one eats it. The only thing to eat is the meat! (To be continued.)
