The spicy chicken feet, duck feet, and rabbit heads made by Du Heng received unanimous praise from the demon cultivators in the village, except for Jing Nan who had an opinion.

Jing Nan said angrily, "They can all eat rabbit brains, but I can't eat them? Du Heng, you're not fair. I don't like spicy food. Why do you make all the spicy food?"

Jing Nan complained: "And you Fenggui, you ate my share without even discussing it with me!"

Feng Gui drank tea without any burden: "Drink tea? You have been nagging for a long time."

Jing Nan snatched Feng Gui's teacup with a foul breath: "Drink!" He drank all the tea soup in one gulp and changed the subject: "What is Du Heng tossing about?"

Du Heng smiled: "I saw several big crabs, I want to try the crab roe soup dumplings."

Jing Nan immediately came back to life, and he liked Du Heng's buns and wontons.He immediately forgot the unhappiness of the rabbit brain and moved to Du Heng's side: "Crab roe soup dumpling? What is that? Is it spicy?"

Du Heng said: "Crab roe soup dumpling is a specialty of our hometown. Fresh crab meat and crab roe are used as dishes, and meat jelly and fresh meat in chicken soup are added inside. The soup dumpling is as thin as paper and the soup is delicious. Think If you want it spicy, you can add chili oil, I don’t like spicy food, so I always eat it with vinegar.”

Jing Nan was satisfied: "Okay, leave me two dumplings with crab roe soup, and leave me the one from Fenggui."

Feng Gui sighed: "Are you sure? I just ate your rabbit's head, and you've been talking about it to this day."

It’s okay if you don’t say anything, but when Jing Nan said it, he exploded again: “That’s a black beast! You don’t even discuss it with me. I can give it to you, but you can’t do it yourself.”

Fenggui had no choice but to use his trump card: "Then Xiaoxiao's soup dumpling is for you."

Smile:! ! !He must have dug his uncle's ancestral grave in his previous life, but in this life he was punished to be his uncle's nephew.

The two pots on the stove were steaming, and there was a smell of steaming crabs in the yard.The crabs are so big that Du Heng is considering how long it takes to steam them to mature.It takes about the same amount of time to steam an ordinary crab to make a stick of incense.For such a big crab, at least two sticks of incense should be steamed.

For things like crabs, the longer the steaming time, the better. If the steaming time is long, the meat will lose its umami taste and not be fresh and sweet.Du Heng put it facing the stove to estimate the steaming time. Although he has never cooked crabs in the cultivation world, he also bought king crabs. The steaming time of king crabs is only 25 minutes.

Du Heng looked at the small hourglass next to the stove, when it was time, he was going to take off the lid of the pot!

Du Heng lifted the lid of the pot, and a puff of white steam rose up and dazzled Du Heng's eyes.When the steam dissipated, the pot was full of a sea crab with its belly up.Du Heng was a little apprehensive: "Should I be familiar with it?"

Xiaoxiao squatted next to the stove and nodded affirmatively: "Jiujiu!"

Du Heng wrapped his hands with a rag, then took the claws on both sides of the sea crab and moved it to the wooden basin next to the stove.The wooden basin is not as big as the crab cover of the crab, and the crab stuck on the wooden basin looks a bit top-heavy.

Du Heng held the wooden basin and transferred it to the table. This was an arduous task. The heat from the crab's body steamed through his clothes and made the skin on his chest ache.

Feng Gui saw that Du Heng was rubbing his chest after putting down the wooden basin, he put down his teacup and asked, "Where's Xuan Yu?"

Du Heng said: "Xuanyu said he went to Nanshan to look at the traps, and he just set off with Lao Dao."

Today's weather is a bit gloomy, Xuanyu said that it might snow today, he and Lao Dao are going to check the traps on the mountain, and if there is any prey, they can bring it back in time.

With the old knife around, Du Heng was more at ease, and he also released the little wonton with confidence.Xuanyu said that Little Wonton has the blood of a hound, and he can learn more things by following Rhubarb.

Xiaoxiao began to pull the crab's legs, Feng Gui said in disgust, "Have you never eaten crab? Is there any hope for someone who is so impatient?"

Du Heng hurriedly helped Xiaoxiao talk: "Xiaoxiao is helping me remove the crabs. Xuanyu just said that Xiaoxiao will help me remove the crabs."

Xiaoxiao pulled a crab leg off and threw it in front of Fenggui. He rolled his eyes, pointed his butt at Fenggui, and angrily started to pull off a leg.Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's head with a smile, and he said seriously: "We are doing well with Xiaoxiao."

Smiling and rubbing against Du Heng's palm with squinted eyes, Feng Gui's eyes were envious.But Feng Gui is still stubborn: "Hmph, promising."

Du Heng took out a small knife. He pressed the crab legs with a rag in one hand, and cut a hole in the crab legs with the knife in the other hand. After the crab legs cooled down later, he could easily take out the crab meat.

Xiaoxiao's movements are not as troublesome as Du Heng's. Although Xiaoxiao has no hands, he is holding the crab leg with one paw, and his mouth is like a small knife.When he raised his head, a deep gash appeared on the crab's leg.

With the help of Xiaoxiao, Du Heng quickly shook the crab meat out of the eight legs.There is half a pot of crab meat with eight legs spread in a wooden basin.

The crab body was very hot, Du Heng stretched out his hand to break the crab body, but after stretching out his hand several times, he still retracted due to the heat.Looking at the crab body which was bigger than the washbasin, Du Heng sighed with some headaches: "Why isn't Xuanyu at home, so I can't go anywhere?"

If Xuanyu was at home, he would have easily opened this kind of crab.

Du Heng was in a dilemma, but saw Feng Gui standing up.Feng Gui bent down and dragged the crab body in front of him, and his slender hands landed on the upper and lower sides of the crab's tail respectively.

What a pair of beautiful hands, the fingers are long and slender, each one looks like a jade carving.Even if the position of the hands is a bit strange, one can see the nobleness of its owner.

The exquisite Feng Gui exerted his strength with both hands, only to hear the sound of cracking, cracking, the shell of the crab was peeled off, revealing the plump meat and orange-red yellow inside.Feng Gui pushed the opened crab back in front of Du Heng, then clapped his hands and continued to drink the tea.

Du Heng: ...How did he forget that there are two big monsters here?

After uncovering the hot crab shell, the crab roe was almost overflowing in pieces.Xiaoxiao stared at the crab roe and crab meat drooling, her eyes sparkling.

Du Heng took a large piece of meat with chopsticks and handed it to Xiaoxiao's mouth: "Eat it! The crabs are very big, and you can only make a lot of crab roe soup dumplings at a time. It's okay for you to eat some of them."

Smiling happily, he accepted Du Heng's feeding, he pouted and felt that he was the happiest cub.

Du Heng took out the crab roe and crab meat from the crab with a small spoon, and the paste and meat in one crab filled most of the basin!

Du Heng brought the warm crab roe and crab paste to the stove, and Xiaoxiao followed suit.Du Heng waved the chopsticks in his hand to Xiaoxiao: "I want to fry crab meat, you can't come up."

If Xiaoxiao continues to squat on the stove like this, sooner or later she will fall into the pot.

Xiaoxiao could only regretfully go back to the table. Lonely Xiaoxiao grabbed the crab shell that had been picked by Du Heng and looked at it. There was still meat stuck in some joints, and she bit the crab shell with a smile. Don't miss any trace of crab meat in it.

Du Heng turned his head and just saw this scene, he thought for a while and went to the refrigerator.This time he took out another big crab. Fortunately, the claws of the crab were tied up with a rope, otherwise Du Heng would not have dared to wash it outside the pool.

Jing Nan asked puzzledly: "Didn't you already take the crab meat? Why are you steaming the crab again?"

Du Heng pressed the crab with one hand, and brushed the dirt off the crab with the other hand.He said, "Steam a crab for Xiaoxiao to eat."

Seeing Xiaoxiao eating the crab shell, Du Heng suddenly felt sorry for Xiaoxiao.

Hearing what Du Heng said, Feng Gui lowered his eyes and stared at Xiaoxiao for a while, the corners of his mouth curled up: "Future..."

The steamed crab this time was treated much better than the previous one. The previous Du Heng didn't wash it so carefully, and didn't cut yellow and orange ginger slices on the crab, and didn't drizzle it on the crab. Baijiu removes fishy smell.

Du Heng put the lid on the pot and said to Xiaoxiao: "Just wait for two sticks of incense." Xiaoxiao nodded his afterimage: "Jiujiu!"

Jing Nan saw Du Heng standing next to the stove, and asked in confusion, "Why did you stop?"

Du Heng said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to use the crab steaming pot to fry the crab meat. Now I will steam the crabs for Xiaoxiao first, and I will wait for a while."

Jing Nan asked, "What about the other pot? Is there anything cooking in it?"

Du Heng said: "I boiled some red beans, and I will make rice flour muffin later."

Rice flour sponge cake?What is this delicious?

Du Heng smiled and said, "It's just two kinds of rice noodles mixed together, then steamed and then mixed with red beans and sugar water. It's a kind of pastry. I think you will like it."

Jing Nan clasped her hands: "There is nothing we don't like about what you make, is it sweet?"

Du Heng nodded: "Yeah!"

Jing Nan said with a smile: "I found that you have made a lot of sweets these days. Could it be that you like sweets?"

Du Heng said perfunctorily: "Shouldn't Chinese New Year be sweet?" If he told Feng Gui and Jing Nan that he found Xuan Yu's preference for sweets, the two would form a group to laugh at Xuan Yu.

During the waiting time, Du Heng was not idle, he took some mountain paste meat out.

When Jing Nan saw Du Heng taking out the meat, he asked curiously, "Didn't you mean crab roe soup buns? Do you want to put meat in it?"

Du Heng chopped the minced meat unhurriedly: "Yes, put some meat in it to enhance freshness, not too much."

The speed at which Du Heng chopped the minced meat looked slow, but after a while he had already obtained a small ball of pinkish-white minced meat.He put the minced meat in a wooden basin, and then slowly mixed the soaked ginger water into the minced meat.

He added water while stirring, and the minced meat became tender and tender after a while, and it didn't look as firm as the previous stuffing.

When he stopped, the minced meat was already very strong, and when he lifted the chopsticks, he could see that there was still a lot of meat on it.At this time, the crabs were also steamed, Du Heng put down his chopsticks and lifted the lid of the pot: "Wow, it smells so good!"

With Fenggui's help, the crabs were transferred from the pot to the table, and Xiaoxiao and his group lived a happy life of eating crabs and watching Du Heng cook.Since Du Heng came to the village, the demon cultivators like to run to his kitchen whenever they have nothing to do. Every time they see Du Heng cooking delicious food, they will be pleasantly surprised.

Du Heng poured some meat oil into the pot. This is pork boiled from the fat of mountain paste. After cooling, it is as white as jade.When the meat oil meets the hot pan, it slowly becomes transparent, and then turns into the color of water.When the oil temperature was right, Du Heng poured the crab meat and crab paste in the pot into the pot and started frying.

Chunks of crab meat and crab paste are smashed into a golden crab paste.When the unique fragrance of seafood wafted from the courtyard, Du Heng put the crab paste into the basin.

The stuffing of the crab roe soup dumpling is half done, and now it's time to serve the most indispensable thing in the soup dumpling.

A bamboo basket was removed from above the fumigation stove outside Du Heng's yard, and the bamboo basket was covered with a piece of gauze.

When he came home with the basket, Jing Nan and the others stretched their necks: "What's inside?"

Du Heng lifted the gauze with a smile, revealing the contents of the basket.It was a yellow-white thing placed in a wooden basin, as if the soup had solidified.

Du Heng smiled and said, "This is skin jelly."

95

Skin jelly is made by Du Heng from the skin of mountain paste. It takes a lot of time to make this thing. It must be boiled in a pot first, and then the hair and excess oil on it will be removed after boiling.Then the slices were cleaned and put into a pot for stewing. During the stewing, Du Heng also added the chicken broth with the oil skimmed off.After half an hour of cooking, a pot of pigskin soup can be obtained.

However, in order to form skin jelly, natural cooling is also required.In order to speed up the cooling, Du Heng made the broth and put it outside the house. The temperature outside was much lower than at home, and now the skin jelly in the pot had turned into a bowl-shaped jelly-like thing after being poured out.

Because of the addition of chicken broth, the color of the skin jelly is slightly yellower than that of direct stewing, and it does not achieve the crystal clear feeling.It still shakes and shakes when you press it, which is quite textured.

In fact, the skin jelly at this time can be eaten directly, cut into small pieces and dipped in seasonings, it is a good cold dish.Du Heng wanted to cut it up for everyone to taste, but seeing the crab shells all over the table, he held back.

If you eat other things after eating crab, you will not feel the umami taste in your mouth.

Du Heng cut half of the skin and frozen it out. He put the other half of the skin into a bowl and sent it to the refrigerator.

The skin jelly on the chopping board is well frozen, and you can see strips of slightly curled pigskin inside.The skin jelly boiled in chicken soup has no peculiar smell, only the fresh fragrance of meat.

Du Heng cut the skin jelly into small pieces, and then put it into a wooden basin filled with crab paste and mountain paste meat.

At this time, the filling can be seasoned for the final time. Du Heng put a small amount of pepper, fine salt and white wine in the basin.After mixing the stuffing, Du Heng was afraid that he would not be able to control the saltiness, so he rolled up a piece of stuffing, flattened it and put it in the pot.

There was still oil left over from frying the crab roe just now in the pot, and while the pot was still warm, Du Heng quickly fried the stuffing.The fly in the ointment is that the skin jelly is heated, and the soup is fried out, and the filling cannot be as overflowing as steamed.

Du Heng scooped up the stuffing with a spatula, and he picked up a little with chopsticks to taste it.Um!Yes, the saltiness is suitable and the taste is delicious.

Looking at the remaining half of the filling on the spatula, Du Heng picked it up and walked towards Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao opened his mouth."

Xiaoxiao heard the words and turned his head to Du Heng and opened his mouth. Du Heng put this stuffing in his mouth: "How about salty? Is it delicious?"

Smiling and trembling his wings, Du Heng smiled with satisfaction. It seems that the taste should be right.

Now that the filling is ready, Du Heng is ready to make crab roe buns.The dough is kneaded long before he prepares the filling.The kneaded dough is smooth and white, nestling obediently in the wooden basin like a huge steamed bun.

Feng Gui sighed: "Since Du Heng came to Xuanyu's house, these pots, pans and pans have been the most in Xuanyu's house." There are wooden basins everywhere, and Xuanyu now makes wooden basins by a dozen, large and small. It can be opened to fill half of the yard.

Du Heng said with a smile: "Isn't this because there are too many ingredients? Always prepare things for storage."

Raw ingredients are fine, just pile them in storage bags.The ingredients he prepared could not be so casual.If one is not careful, it will taint.

Du Heng kneaded the dough into long strips, and he made dough pieces one by one.The noodles used to make crab roe soup dumplings are much smaller than those used to make steamed buns. The dough used to make steamed buns used to be as big as a palm, but the dough used to make soup dumplings was only a small ball. It is about the same size as the chicken crisps I made before.

Du Heng has to roll out such a small noodle dough into a skin with a diameter of fifteen inches, and make it thick in the middle and thin at the edges.Otherwise, the soup dumplings made will leak.

Seeing Xiaoxiao's ball of dough turned into a round dough that was bigger than spring pancakes, Jing Nan and the others didn't care about eating crabs anymore, they leaned close to Du Heng: "Wow, so thin?"

Du Heng laughed and said, "Yes, soup dumplings are different from ordinary steamed stuffed buns. The skin of soup dumplings should be as thin as paper!"

A large ball of stuffing should be placed in the thin dough, Jing Nan reckoned that there are enough stuffing in a soup bag.

At this time, Du Heng did not dare to wrap the soup in his hand.He placed the soup dumpling on the chopping board, and then carefully pinched the edge of the dough with both hands and pushed it towards the middle. Every time he moved his fingers, a beautiful crease would appear.

Du Heng quickly wrapped a soup dumpling. The soup dumpling was flat and round, with a diameter of ten inches.Like a flower, there is a pinched circle in the middle.

Jing Nan and the others surrounded the soup dumpling in amazement: "It's amazing!" This is no soup dumpling, it's not too much to say it's a work of art.

Du Heng smiled and took a small steamer. The steamer was only a little bigger than soup dumplings, and there were thin straw-woven bamboo sticks underneath.The bamboo strips have been steamed in advance, and the color looks shiny.

Feng Gui took a look at the small steamer: "It's well done."

Du Heng praised: "It's all made by Xuanyu. Xuanyu is really amazing. As soon as I told him, he made it for me."

Jing Nan and Feng Gui looked at each other and smiled very obscenely. Looking at their smiles, one could tell that they were not thinking of anything good.

Du Heng carefully moved the soup dumpling to the small steamer, he was busy and had no time to deal with these free and rich monsters.

Du Heng made the dumplings while making them, and within a short while the first basket of soup dumplings was already on the big steamer.Ten small steamers are placed in a large steamer, and the steamer can be steamed when the water in the pot is boiled.

At this time, the side of the stove was already a little crowded, and Du Heng had to move.He said to Feng Gui: "Feng Gui, can you help clear the dining table? I'm going to move to the table."

Feng Gui nodded subtly, and he clapped his hands: "Yun Zheng." Yun Zheng entered in response, and Du Heng didn't even see where this guy came from.Yun Zheng tidied up after a clatter, and then left the kitchen with a basket of crab shells in his arms.

Du Heng: ...he was wrong, he shouldn't have expected too much from Feng Gui.In essence, Feng Gui and Jing Nan are the same kind of people, they are both surprisingly lazy.

Thinking about it this way, only Xuanyu in the village is a firework of different colors, no wonder Xiaoxiao is willing to rely on Xuanyu.

After the dining table was cleared, Du Heng moved over with his dough fillings and the like.At this time the cauldron started to steam, Du Heng put down the things in his hands and put the steamer on the cauldron.

He casually put a small hourglass beside him, and when the hourglass inside was empty, the soup dumpling would be ready to be steamed.The steaming time of the soup bag is short, as long as a cup of tea takes a little longer, it will be ready.

Du Heng said to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, look at this hourglass, can you remind me when the hourglass is over?" Xiaoxiao immediately stared at the hourglass, the cute look made Du Heng want to hug him hard Rub it hard.

Du Heng's hands and feet were quick, and the hourglass didn't leak until he finished the second basket of soup dumplings to be steamed.

With the sound of Xiaoxiao's excited chirp, Du Heng's heart was also beating wildly—God bless, but don't open the lid of the pot to find that all the soup in the steamer has leaked out! !

After the steam dissipated, the surrounding Jing Nan and Feng Gui exclaimed, "Wow——"

I saw full soup dumplings in the small steamer, and the soup inside was almost overflowing. With the movement of Du Heng holding the steamer, the thin and slightly transparent golden soup hit the skin, and it seemed that it could still be boiled. He heard the sound of soup sloshing.

The soup dumplings in the ten small steamers were only complete, and Du Heng wiped his sweat in a relaxed manner: "It's okay, it's okay, the skin is not broken!!"

Jing Nan already reached out to get the soup dumpling: "This steamed stuffed bun doesn't seem very tasty."

What Jing Nan said about delicious food does not refer to the taste, but the way of eating.The steamed stuffed bun is full of soup, don't you want to spill it when you take a bite?

Du Heng hurriedly stopped Jing Nan: "That's not how you take it! There are steps to take away the small steamer and then eat the soup dumplings."

There were six people sitting at the dining table, and each of them had a small steamer in front of them, and they all held a small straw made of bamboo in their hands.

Holding a bamboo straw in his hand, Du Heng introduced to everyone: "Don't be in a hurry to eat soup dumplings, you have to open the window first and then drink the soup."

As he said that, he inserted the thin bamboo branch in his hand into the dough skin on the soup bag, the skin was punctured, and the soup inside suddenly gushed out.The golden-yellow soup was piled up in an oily pool on the top of the skin, and it smelled fresh and fragrant.

Du Heng laughed and said, "Pierce the outer skin lightly. This step is called opening the window. Then drink the soup inside. Be careful when drinking..."

Du Heng hadn't finished speaking when he heard a rattling sound. He looked up and saw all the demon cultivators puffed up their cheeks, and the obviously big soup dumpling in front of them had been deflated.

Du Heng: ... Demon cultivators are really not afraid of being hot.

Du Heng sucked a little soup carefully, the soup was not very hot after passing through the bamboo branches.The temperature was just right when it entered the mouth, and Du Heng only felt that he took a sip of the umami.The pores of his whole body are ironed!

He doesn't use much skin jelly, and the ratio of skin jelly to crab meat is about two and a half skin jelly and one crab meat.Many hotels will use four parts of skin jelly for one part of crab meat, so that the cost is easy to control.

Du Heng feels that the real food is the best when he eats it for himself.Although the materials he used are nothing in the eyes of monks in the cultivation world, every material is very solid.

When solid materials meet exquisite craftsmanship, a delicious taste bursts out.This delicacy is endless aftertaste, Du Heng continued to drink the soup.

When Du Heng finished his recollection, he met the expectant eyes of the demon cultivators: "And then?"

Du Heng pointed to the balsamic vinegar in front of him, and he put finely sliced ​​ginger in the balsamic vinegar: "After the soup is finished, you can add a little ginger vinegar juice to it, so that it can relieve the greasiness."

Chonghua took a small plate and poured it on the soup dumpling: "Is that so?"

Du Heng, who was carefully pouring vinegar into the soup dumplings along the bamboo branch: ... Forget it, these demon cultivators can eat whatever they want, he doesn't care.

There were six soup dumplings in a cage, and the remaining four soup dumplings attracted the covetousness of the demon cultivators.Feng Gui and Jing Nan each took one with sharp eyesight and quick hands, but Chonghua Yunzheng and Xiaoxiao shared the remaining two soup dumplings, and they couldn't tell them apart.

While Du Heng was drinking the soup, he thought of an inappropriate idiom: two peaches kill three warriors.

Relying on two soup dumplings, he successfully provoked the battle of the three demon cultivators.Du Heng took a sip of the soup happily and felt that he had no guilt at all.

96

Xiaoxiao's hands are not long enough...ah, no, he doesn't have hands...so he couldn't grab the soup dumpling.Rao Shi smiled and looked pitifully at Yun Zheng and Chong Hua with his big bright eyes, the two still poked the bamboo sticks into their dough without changing their faces and drank the soup happily.

This angered Xiaoxiao, he chirped and chirped for a long time to protest, and from the series of hasty chirping sounds, it could be heard that he was accusing Yun Zheng and Chong Hua of their dishonesty.

Fenggui poured chili oil into the soup dumpling and said slowly: "Are you dumbfounded? Zhonghua Yunzheng did a good job, so I will do it like this in the future. I can't give you preferential treatment every time because you are my nephew, right? If you want to get what you want, you have to show your strength."

Xiaoxiao's fur exploded again, looking like an angry bird.

Du Heng quickly reached out and touched the fluff on the top of Xiaoxiao's head: "Don't worry, the second pot will be steamed soon, if you can't wait, let's share it?"

Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at Du Heng, the water in her big eyes was flowing, and Du Heng's heart melted.At the moment, he didn't care about hygiene or unsanitary, so he took a pair of clean chopsticks and split the soup dumpling in two.

The stuffing in the soup dumpling is actually thin, and the stuffing is scattered at the bottom after drinking the soup.Du Heng carefully picked up the skin of the soup dumpling, put the stuffing in it, and then sent it to Xiaoxiao's wide-open mouth.

Xiaoxiao fluttered her wings and let out a happy humming sound. Du Heng smiled and said, "Is it delicious? Why don't you eat the rest too?"

Smiling and shaking his head, he can't be so greedy.Du Heng touched Xiaoxiao's head and praised him: "We Xiaoxiao are such a good boy."

Fenggui: ...he is obviously his nephew, but why does he feel that Xiaoxiao is Du Heng's son?

The second cage of soup dumplings was brought to the table soon, and this time I snatched two small cages of soup dumplings with a smile.

Du Heng smiled and wrapped the remaining stuffing into soup dumplings. He was not going to steam these soup dumplings. He wanted to put them in the refrigerator and take them out to steam whenever he wanted.

At this time, a dog barking came from outside the courtyard, and Du Heng wiped his hands and walked out of the courtyard to look in the direction of Nanshan.Xuan Yu and Lao Dao had already reached the foot of the mountain, and the two dogs were running in front of them.Du Heng saw that they seemed to be carrying something, but the distance was a little far away, so he couldn't see clearly.

After a while, Xuanyu and the others came to the gate of the courtyard, and Du Heng saw clearly what they were carrying, which was a three-foot-long mountain ointment.Based on Du Heng's understanding of Shan Yao, this is still a cub of Shan Yao.The four hoofs of this young mountain paste were bound, and the old knife used a wooden stick to pass through the limbs and bring it down the mountain.

Du Heng said with a smile, "I'm back!"

Xuanyu said with a smile: "I found a wounded Shanyou cub in the trap. Even if it is released, it will not survive. I discussed it with Lao Dao and I plan to bring it back and slaughter it."

There are three deep scars on the side of the Shanjiao's waist, and it seems that it will not survive.

Du Heng asked, "Why isn't it in the storage bag?" Xuan Yu said, "The storage bag is full."

Anyway, he and Lao Dao are very strong, if it is not ugly to walk with mountain ointment, Xuanyu is ready to come back with it.

Xuanyu put the mountain ointment in the yard, and he smelled the smell in the yard: "It smells so good."

Du Heng clapped his hands: "It just happened to come back, the crab roe soup is ready! Go in and eat the soup!"

Lao Dao said happily: "This day is so comfortable, you can eat when you come back." After Lao Dao walked into the kitchen, he made a surprised voice: "Hey? This bun is so special!"

Du Heng pushed Xuan Yu's back and walked towards the kitchen: "Go quickly, you will be robbed by them again if you go late."

When Xuanyu drank the first sip of soup, even Xuanyu, who had no interest in seafood, smiled and nodded: "It's delicious."

Du Heng smiled and said, "If you like it, I'll make some more and put them in the refrigerator. When you want to eat them, just take them out and steam them. You can take some with you when you leave."

Hearing what Du Heng said, Chonghua and the others let out a hey hey laugh: "That's great."

After everyone finished eating the soup dumplings, Du Heng started to work again.He opened another pot, revealing half a pot of red beans.The red beans have swelled several times compared to when they were not boiled, and each one looks particularly round. The skin of some red beans has been broken by the bean paste inside.

Du Heng took out some red bean soup and put it in a large bowl to cool, then he added some white sugar into the pot.The red beans at this time can be used as fillings or eaten directly.

The delicious taste of crab roe buns was diluted by the sweet taste of red beans, Jing Nan sniffed: "Du Heng, are you making a pastry? What is this called? Songhua Cake?"

Du Heng smiled: "It's not songhua cake, it's rice flour sponge cake. The well-made rice flour sponge cake looks like plum blossoms, beautiful and delicious."

This is a traditional Jiangnan pastry. Du's father is the best at it. Every time he makes his mother angry, he will make it to coax her.Du Heng was fascinated by it and learned how to make this pastry.

Authentic rice flour sponge cake needs to be ground into flour with glutinous rice flour and ordinary rice. The ratio is about three parts glutinous rice flour to four parts rice flour, and then add honey red beans and white sugar.The finished product can be a cake or a small flower shape, which tastes soft, fragrant and sweet.

Du Heng didn't think of making this pastry at first, because he found that he had bought some japonica rice in Zhou's shop when he checked the refrigerator in the morning.This kind of japonica rice is quite rare, and it is usually used to feed spirit beasts. Some spirit beasts like this kind of rice that has no spiritual energy, and it helps digestion after eating it.

Du Heng was overjoyed when he found the bag of japonica rice.The spiritual rice in the Cultivation Realm tastes soft and glutinous, and it can be used as glutinous rice flour after being ground into powder, while the japonica rice can be used as ordinary rice flour after being ground into powder.

Du Heng took eight bowls of japonica rice noodles and six bowls of spiritual rice noodles. Since there was a stone mill in his yard, it was very easy for him to grind flour.He mixed the two types of rice flour together, and then sifted it through a bamboo sieve.

There was a piece of white in the wooden basin, Feng Gui muttered: "Is there any difference? It looks like they are all white."

Du Heng said: "Of course there is a difference, you will know when you eat it."

In fact, if you look closely, there are differences between the two kinds of rice noodles. The color of japonica rice noodles is a bit dull and gray.The Lingmi powder is white, but it looks the same color after being mixed together.

After sifting, the rice noodles are white and delicate, and they are left in the tub like snowflakes.Du Heng poured half a bowl of sugar on top, and then poured the red bean water prepared earlier into the wooden basin.

When the rice noodles met water, they condensed into balls. Du Heng kneaded the balls of rice noodles while pouring.

The amount of red bean water he poured was not too much, and the rice noodles were easily scattered.After he poured all the red bean water into the basin, the rice noodles in the basin had changed from snow white to slightly pink.

At this time, the rice noodles cannot be used directly, and must be sieved carefully.

The big monsters were stunned by the complicated process. In Jing Nan's words, if he was asked to do it, he would not be happy.

After sifting, the rice noodles looked more delicate, and Du Heng separated out one-third of them.He took another wooden basin and poured the separated rice noodles into it, and then added the same volume of honey red beans in it.After stirring evenly, this pot of rice noodles becomes red bean cake noodles.

At this time, you need to use his beloved steamer.Du Heng took a medium-sized steamer, which was big enough to put all the ingredients he stirred.

At the bottom of the steamer, he placed a mat made of bamboo strips, which had been washed and brushed with soybean oil.

Du Heng first spread a layer of pink rice noodles in the steamer, and he used a small pusher made of bamboo branches to flatten the rice noodles, and then evenly spread a layer of red bean cake noodles.Just spread it layer by layer, and finally spread it on top with rice flour.Just like that, the steamer is filled with slightly reddish rice noodles.

Du Heng happily put the steamer on the steamer: "It's enough to steam three sticks of incense!"

Jing Nan clasped her hands: "Didn't you say it would be shaped like a plum blossom? Why did it become a cake?"

Du Heng said with a smile: "You can press it with a plum blossom-shaped mold after steaming, so that it will come out in the shape of a plum blossom."

At this time, there was the scream of Shan Gao from the courtyard. Du Heng followed the sound and saw Xuan Yu and Lao Dao were slaughtering Shan Gao.I saw that the old knife was holding a sharp, narrow and bright dagger, and stabbed Shan Gao's throat with one knife.

The white knife went in and the red knife came out, and the blood of Shan Gao gushed out and fell into the wooden basin that had been waiting for a long time.Clear water mixed with salt had already been placed in the wooden basin, and the bright red blood entered the basin and dyed the water in the basin red, dazzling red.

Shan Yao died without struggling, waiting for the blood in its throat to stop splattering, Lao Dao stood in front of Shan Yao with clasped hands and muttered something, then he wiped the dagger neatly and put it back into the scabbard.

Worthy of being an old knife, his hands are quick and quick to let out blood. No wonder Xuanyu said before that he is very good at slaughtering living things.

Xuan Yu stirred the blood in the basin with a clean bamboo branch. He stood in the courtyard and said to Du Heng, "The blood is taken. What should I do later?"

Seeing Du Heng in a daze, Xuan Yu said: "Last time, didn't you say that it would be all right if there was fresh blood?"

Du Heng suddenly remembered that he had told Xuan Yu at that time that the blood is also quite delicious.Unexpectedly, Xuan Yu remembered it in his heart!

Du Heng was touched and said: "Put it over there first, and I will cook it when the blood is solidified!"

Suddenly Du Heng's face turned cold, he looked up and saw thin snowflakes falling from the sky.It's snowing!It goes well with pig-killing dishes on a snowy day!

Du Heng's hometown is famous for its northern dish of killing pigs, and every family starts to slaughter new year's pigs when the season comes.On the day of the pig slaughter, the neighbors will come to help.At noon, the dexterous housewife will take off the meat from the pig that has just been slaughtered, and prepare a lively table of pig-killing dishes with ingredients such as sauerkraut at home.

Du Heng has heard of the pig-killing dish in the north before, but he has never had the chance to try it.He can't cook the kind of pig-killing dishes in the north, but there are also pig-killing dishes in his hometown.Although the taste is different from that in the north, the atmosphere of having a happy conversation with relatives and friends is similar.

The pig-killing dishes in Du Heng's family generally include stir-fried pork liver, stir-fried tender meat, stewed tofu with pig blood, etc. Each dish uses pork or pig parts.A large table was set up, and everyone ate with mouthfuls of oil, and the host and guest had a good time.

Du Heng looked at the snowflakes in the sky, he thought for a while and said, "Let's cook some pig-killing dishes."

When he was a child, his family lived in the countryside, and his family also raised pigs.Later, when I moved to the town, I couldn't afford to raise pigs anymore. I haven't tasted the pig-killing dishes in my memory for many years.

Now seeing the steaming piglet just after being slaughtered, Du Heng wants to regain his childhood memories.
