The bracken by the river is infiltrated by the rain, green and shiny, so tender that it makes people feel good at a glance.Roll upwards along the tender stem, and when it reaches a certain point, the tender stem will snap off.This sound is crisp and crisp, just listening to this sound, Du Heng can listen to it for a whole day.
There are two kinds of bracken that grow more by the river, one is darker in color, but the stem is thick, and the upper stem is curled up like the legs of an octopus, and it is also covered with fine fluff.One is the emerald green fern that Du Heng picks a lot, which makes people unable to stop. This kind of green bracken is relatively thin and does not have so many hairs on it.
There are also several kinds of bracken wrapped in fluff, which is not very easy to provoke.
Du Heng picked these two kinds of bracken that he had eaten and known, and he didn't dare to pick the others.If it is poisonous, it's fine if you poison yourself, but it's not good if you poison other people in the village.
Xuanyu bent down to help Du Heng pick bracken, his movements were not as smooth as Du Heng's, and he would stand up and look around after picking a few bracken.
Seeing Xuanyu standing up again, Du Heng smiled and said, "Xuanyu, what are you looking at?"
Xuanyu said slowly: "This place is close to Nanshan Mountain, sometimes there will be monsters attacking."
Hearing what Xuanyu said, Du Heng immediately remembered the dead mountain ointment that appeared in the trap when he went up to Nanshan for the second time.It must be terrible to be able to injure Shan Gao into such a monster.
Moreover, spring is the season for animals to mate, and most animals will be irritable. If there are groups of monsters descending the mountain, Du Heng really can't stop them.
Thinking of it this way, Du Heng's enthusiasm for picking vegetables was extinguished, and he put the picked bracken in the basket in twos and twos.The bracken was half covered, and Du Heng thought for a while and said, "Then... let's pick less bracken and go home? How about picking a basket and going back?"
Xuanyu said: "It's okay, you don't need to be nervous, there won't be any problems with me. You can pick bracken with confidence."
Du Heng smiled and said: "You can't be greedy. If you don't like the taste, it will be a waste to take it back. Besides, it's close anyway. If you like it, we'll come back next time."
Xuan Yu nodded, and he continued to bend down to pick the bracken.The bracken juice stained the skin of his hands to a blue-gray color, making him look dirty.But a fresh fragrance lingers in my hand, and it smells quite nice.
Not only Du Heng and the other two were picking bracken, Xiaoxiao and Nian Sui Sui were also helping to pick bracken by the river.The two chicks are not tall and need to jump up and peck off the bracken stalks.They dragged the pecked bracken to the back basket, and often only picked one or two bracken after working for a long time.
Xiaoxiao has a big mouth, he can carry a handful of bracken in his mouth and send it to his back basket.A group of people picked up excitedly by the stream, and picked a basket of bracken in a short time.
Not long after, Du Heng saw Jing Nan standing in the peach forest on the other side of the river, and Jing Nan said with a smile, "Is this food edible?"
Du Heng stood up: "It should be edible. I'll make it for everyone to taste. If you like it, I'll come and pick some more."
Jing Nan smiled and said: "Okay, just remember one thing. The stone river in front of you is the boundary. If no one is with you, you'd better not cross the boundary easily. The monsters on Nanshan are eyeing you. If you are alone If you cross the river, the consequences will be serious."
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan quietly: "Do you think it's fun to scare me?"
Jing Nan laughed out loud: "You discovered all of this?"
When returning back, Du Heng filled the back basket with bracken, Xiao Xiao and Nian Sui Sui could not stay in it anymore, Du Heng and Xuan Yu could only carry these little guys across the river.
When flying over the rocks, Du Heng saw fish swimming upstream in the stream.In places where the water is shallow, there are a lot of this kind of fish, and it feels like you can catch them with a net bag.
Jing Nan stood under the peach tree, and the pink petals of the peach blossom fell on his shoulders.He smiled: "What are you looking at?"
Du Heng said: "Look at the fish in the water, I wonder if they can be eaten."
Not far from where Du Heng stayed, there was a puddle, and the fish in the puddle was densely packed.Du Heng was envious when he saw it. This kind of fish has a round head and a cylindrical body. It looks very fleshy.
Jing Nan said: "Of course you can eat it, and the taste is quite good. In the past, Xiaoyu would catch a few fish and go back to eat raw and grilled fish, right Xiaoyu?"
Xuanyu said: "This kind of fish is called Eryue 鱤, also called peach blossom fish. When the peach blossoms bloom, they swim from the sea to the upper reaches to lay eggs. This season is their fattest season. You can eat raw fish. If you feel If you are interested, you can think of other ways.”
Du Heng rubbed his hands, and looked at Xuanyu expectantly: "Then Xuanyu, can you help catch some of them back? Let's burn them when we go back?"
Xuan Yu nodded: "Okay."
Xuan Yu stretched out his hand to Jing Nan: "Give me the basket."
Jing Nan muttered: "Can't you carry an extra basket when you come out? Or ask Du Heng to put his bracken in the storage bag? Anyway, it's not troublesome to make a storage bag, right?" Jing Nan muttered, while Passing the basket on his back to Xuanyu, he still did not forget to say: "Catch more, Xiaoyu, the grilled fish you cook is quite delicious."
Xuanyu took off his boots, rolled up his trouser legs and dipped into the water. The fish were not afraid of him at all, they were still squeezed by his feet.As soon as he bent down, he picked up half a basket of peach blossom fish, each peach blossom fish was a foot long, and they were plump and bouncing around in the basket.
Du Heng originally thought that Xuanyu would stop after fishing once, but he saw Xuanyu took a storage bag from his waist.He picked up the fish in the basket one by one into the storage bag, and then he said to Du Heng with the empty basket on his back: "I'll go to the entrance of the village to have a look, there are more fish there, you go back first, don't wait." I."
Du Heng lifted his boots and said, "Xuan Yu, don't you take the boots with you?"
Xuan Yu smiled and said: "It's okay, you can take it back for me. I'll go back after I catch the fish."
After saying this, Xuanyu walked towards the entrance of the village along the water, and Little Wonton followed by stepping on the green grass on the bank. One person and one dog went around the peach blossom tree and disappeared.
Du Heng lifted the boots in his hand, he looked down at Nian and Suisui: "Oh, you can only go back."
The two chicks patted their wings and smiled aggressively, as if they were telling Du Heng with their actions: they can go!
Jing Nan clasped her hands and said, "Let's go? Go back?"
Du Heng spotted a piece of plump Malan head under the peach tree with sharp eyes, and he immediately became interested: "No hurry, I'll dig some Malan and bring it back."
Jing Nan frowned: "Malan? Is this edible?" Du Heng put the basket beside him, bent down and took out a sickle from the side of the basket: "Eatable, mix Malan with cold to clear the heat and remove heat, and serve with porridge It's the best."
Du Heng was soon separated by a large handful of Malan. Looking left and right, he couldn't find a place to install Malan.It doesn't bother him, he has a huge sleeve, and the sleeve can hold a lot of things!
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Jing Nan urged Du Heng again: "Stop digging, go back. If you don't go back, the lunch time will be postponed."
Du Heng stood up with great satisfaction and carried the basket on his back: "Picking wild vegetables is so enjoyable, I will pick them again when I have time these two days."
Xuan Yu engraved a formation on his body that could stop the rain, no matter how much rain outside, it couldn't wet his clothes.
Seeing Du Heng walking forward, Jing Nan was a few steps behind.He looked at Nanshan on the other side of the river, and the corner of Jing Nan's mouth curled up in a contemptuous arc: "Oh, I don't know how to live or die."
He picked a dead branch five inches long from the peach tree, and saw a flash of inspiration in Jing Nan's hand, and the dead branch went straight to the opposite bank like a thunderbolt.Not long after the dead branches passed by, a giant mass rolled down the mountain.
The giant fell heavily to the other side of the river, and something crawled out from the depths of the bracken on the river bank and dragged the giant to the back of the boulder.
Jing Nan followed Du Heng home, humming a tune with her hands in her hands: "In the future, you won't be allowed to cross the river without us. I didn't scare you."
Du Heng replied: "I know, I know."
Jing Nan added: "There are a lot of wild things on the mountain. It's not peaceful these days. Just tell us what you want to pick. Don't run out by yourself."
Du Heng was helpless: "Why do I feel that you speak to me in the same tone as I speak to Xiaoxiao? I know, I'm not a child, I won't run around!"
The spring rain was pattering, and when Du Heng returned to the eaves, the rain was hanging down from the eaves in lines.The down quilts of the two chicks under the eaves were wet. Du Heng wiped them clean with a towel and then sent them to the edge of the stove: "Dry them here before letting them go out, otherwise you will get sick."
Fortunately, the chicks were very obedient, and the two of them snuggled up to the door of the warm stove and closed their eyes.
Du Heng looked at the rain outside, he was a little worried about Xuanyu: "Is Xuanyu still catching fish? Don't freeze."
Feng Gui said calmly: "Don't worry about him, he's not that delicate. What's for lunch today?"
Du Heng poured the bracken in the back basket onto the eaves of the verandah, and said: "Fried bracken with bacon and cold Malan. When Xuanyu catches fish later, make braised fish and fish soup!"
Feng Gui became irritable: "Could you make something I can eat? Clear soup with little water sounds like I have no appetite."
Du Heng was extremely helpless: "What do you want to eat?" Feng Gui said, "Spicy."
Du Heng thought for a while: "Soak two sausages for you, don't quarrel."
Feng Gui was angry again: "I'm going out soon, can't you cook something delicious?"
Du Heng was taken aback: "Hey? Where are you going?"
Feng Gui is not in the village all the year round, he has been in the village for a long time this time.If I go out in April, I may only come back once or twice in the middle of the year. The next time I come back, it will be Chinese New Year.
Hearing what Feng Gui said, Du Heng fell silent for a rare time.He went to the refrigerator and looked around, and when he came out, he was holding a big rooster in his hand: "Do you want to eat the taro chicken?"
Taro chicken is one of the few pure and spicy dishes that Du Heng can make, and this dish is also a unique skill of Du's mother.The soft and glutinous taro is stewed with chicken, the chicken is soft and rotten, and the taro is more delicious than chicken.This dish is spicy, delicious and very appetizing, Fenggui should like this taste.
Feng Gui smiled: "Eat!"
Jing Nan glanced at Feng Gui with his sharp eyes: "You're hot, you're hot!"
131
The taro chicken dish requires taro, and Du Heng dug out the taro from the refrigerator.He bought these yams for Laba porridge in the last lunar month, but when he was making Laba porridge, he forgot to put them.
Thinking about it carefully, he and Xiaoxiao sneaked out and were frightened by monsters, and missed the time to cook Laba porridge.This box of taro is left like this, and it is still hairy.
Du Heng is actually not very good at eating taro. Every time he eats taro, his throat feels numb.At first he thought it was because the yams made outside hadn't been processed properly, but later he found out that it was heredity.Du's father can't eat taro, no matter what kind of taro he eats, his throat will feel astringent.
After Mama Du married Papa Du, the dish of taro chicken fell out of favor for this reason, and it can only be prepared and served to entertain guests during the holidays.There is no one who has eaten the taro chicken made by Du's mother. Du Heng can't eat taro, but he can eat chicken!Taro chicken soup bibimbap, he can eat two bowls.
Du Heng took out the taro and put it in the Shau Kei. Every taro in Zhou's shop was as big as a fist and hairy.
If the taro is not well protected when peeling, the soup will itch on the hands.Du Heng originally wanted to use the old method to remove the taro skin, but it was raining so heavily outside, and he was not happy to toss around in the yard.
So he took out the bamboo plane to plan to peel off the outer skin of the taro.A layer of cyan aura emerged from Du Heng's hands, and the aura separated Taro and his hands like gloves.After a while, he got a shaukei of taro seeds.
I don't know where the taro from Zhou's shop came from. After peeling off the outer skin of the taro, fine and dense purple snowflake-like patterns appeared inside.This kind of taro has a soft taste, and Du Heng has only seen such patterns on big taro in the south before.
Wen Qiong squatted beside Du Heng, and she watched Du Heng cook the taro: "Isn't this... used for alchemy?"
Du Heng said: "You can also eat it. By the way, master, you know taro?"
Wen Qiong said: "Yes, I saw someone planting this in the spiritual field of the sect. I thought it could only be used for alchemy. I didn't expect it to be eaten..."
Jing Nan said with a smile: "Since Du Heng came to the village, we have eaten a lot of strange things. This one is not bad."
Du Heng cleaned the taro and chicken in the sink and took them out. He cut the taro into bite-sized hob pieces.Of course, during the process of cutting the taro, there was still aura surging in his hands.Just now he has confirmed that the hands and taro are separated by spiritual energy, and the hands will not itch.
Du Heng was preparing the ingredients again, he felt a little regretful: "It would be great if there was bean paste."
He only fried the hot pot base before, but did not make bean paste.It seems that he will make some bean paste when he is free. The taste of the hot pot base and bean paste are still different.If there is no bean paste in this dish of taro chicken, it will lose a lot of flavor.
But it shouldn't be a problem to fool Feng Gui and the others, Du Heng looked meanly at Feng Gui who was drinking tea in the kitchen.Feng Gui was furious at the sight: "How are you trying to fool me with your wicked eyebrows?"
Du Heng turned his gaze back, the big monster's sense is too keen, he can't do anything wrong.
Pour soybean oil into the pot, and when the oil is hot, Du Heng pours taro along the side of the pot.The taro is first fried and then steamed in a steamer before being added to the chicken soup. The taro will not melt and will not make the taro chicken soup sticky.
This is the recipe asked by Mama Du. When she used to cook, she would put taro and chicken in it to cook, and the soup was full of glutinous taro.But since Du Heng and Du's father couldn't eat taro, Du's mother changed the recipe.In this way, she can eat her taro, and Du Heng and Du's father can also eat chicken.
Taro chicken with non-cloudy soup is considered unauthentic by many people, but Du Heng thinks this is the most authentic taro chicken, full of mother's love.
When the skin of the taro was fried and turned slightly yellow, Du Heng put the taro in a large bowl and placed it on the steamer.After steaming two cups of tea, the taro will mature.
While the taro was steaming, Du Heng put a lot of Chinese prickly ash in the pot.As soon as the peppercorns are put into the pot, the choking spicy taste dissipates.Feng Gui was satisfied: "Ah, this tempting spicy taste is really strong."
Du Heng poured the fatty chicken pieces into the pot and stir-fried. The fire should be high so that the excess water in the chicken to be fried would not flow out. When the oil in the skin of the chicken was about to seep out, he could then pour in the white wine and stir-fry for a while.It doesn't need to be fried for too long, the chicken nuggets have to bid farewell to the cauldron temporarily.
After filling the chicken pieces, Du Heng added some soybean oil to the pot, and when the oil was hot, he added a handful of Chinese prickly ash.Seeing Du Heng drop peppercorns, Jing Nan hissed: "It's too cruel, don't give me a way out."
When he saw that Du Heng had added a big lump of hot pot ingredients to it, he said quietly to Feng Gui: "Maybe only you and Xiaoxiao can eat this dish today."
Wen Qiong raised her hands weakly: "Actually... I can do it too." Jing Nan stared angrily: "Can't you bully me to eat spicy food?"
After the red oil in the pot came out, Du Heng sprinkled a lot of dried chilies, and the hot red peppers came out of the pot immediately.Following the chilli, Du Heng put the chicken pieces into the pot and stir-fried them with the ingredients.After frying for half a cup of tea, he added white wine, soy sauce, sliced ginger and white garlic to stir fry together.
After stirring another half a cup of tea, he added a spoonful of boiling water to the pot.After the chicken was submerged in boiling water, Du Heng proudly grabbed a handful of shallots, washed them, tied them into knots, and threw them into the pot.
At this time, the taro in the pot was about to ripen, so Du Heng moved down the steamer.With the boiling water in the pot, he threw the two handfuls of bracken that he had just cleaned up into the pot to blanch.
The bracken is fresh and tender, and it will become soft after a little blanching.Du Heng scooped them up and put them in cold water. The bracken in cold water would not turn yellow easily, and the taste would be more crisp and tender.
Just as Du Heng was soaking the bracken in the water, the cry of little wonton came from outside the courtyard gate.Xuan Yu is back!
Du Heng immediately walked out of the kitchen, and he saw Xuan Yu walking through the door.Xuan Yu was holding a pannier in one hand and an umbrella in the other.He was barefoot, if it was Du Heng who did this, he would be in a particularly embarrassing situation.However, Xuanyu seemed to be back from a walk, leisurely and relaxed!
Du Heng said happily: "It's back!!"
Xuanyu strode to the eaves of the corridor, he put the basket on the ground, and then closed the umbrella: "Well, the harvest is good. Have a look?"
There are half a basket of peach blossom fish in the back basket, each of which is plump and round.A fishy smell wafted out of the basket, and if there was a cat in the house, they would definitely hang around the basket and refuse to leave at this moment.However, there is no cat at home, only a little wonton that is soaking wet and throwing water under the eaves.
Xuan Yu smelled the spicy smell in the courtyard, he frowned and looked at Feng Gui: "Do you cook spicy food again? Du Heng can't eat spicy food."
Feng Gui hummed: "I'm leaving soon, can't you let me eat something good?"
Du Heng looked at the fish basket, and asked happily: "How can I eat this fish? I haven't eaten it before!"
Xuanyu said: "This kind of fish can be eaten raw or grilled. How about I make it for you to try today? You know the ingredients better, and you can try other methods after you have tasted it?"
Jing Nan and the others immediately got excited: "Hey, Xiaoyu is going to cook!!" "It's been so many years, he is finally willing to cook, I have been thinking about his grilled fish for many years!"
Xuanyu was cleaning up the fish, and Du Heng was cooking bacon.And Jing Nan and the others walked around Xuanyu for a while: "What a beautiful knife maker." After a while they walked around behind Du Heng: "When can we eat taro chicken?"
Du Heng was busy pouring the taro into the pot, he estimated the time: "It will be ready to eat in a little more time."
After the taro was put into the pot, he tasted the saltiness. Unfortunately, he lost his sense of taste after entering the soup.Du Heng's hot face turned red, and he waved to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao come and taste the salt."
This time he didn't let Xiaoxiao drink the soup, but added a piece of chicken leg to Xiaoxiao's mouth: "Try the saltiness? If it's too light, I'll add salt."
Xiaoxiao took the chicken leg in one mouthful, and after a few clicks, he turned his head and spat out a bone.He patted his wings very satisfied: "Jiujiu!!"
It seems that the taste is not bad, Du Heng is relieved.Du Heng picked up the chicken bones on the ground and threw them into his special bucket for kitchen waste.It's not that he doesn't let the little wonton eat, the puppy is easy to get stuck when eating the small bone, Du Heng is willing to let the little wonton have an accident.
Xuan Yu quickly cut a fish out, and there was a circle of slightly transparent fish meat on the snow-white plate, and the head of the carp was placed in the middle of the fish meat.For a one-foot-long carp, the meat actually spread out on a whole plate, Xuanyu's knife skills are really amazing.
Xuanyu put the fish plate on the table: "Eat it."
Jing Nan, Feng Gui and the others immediately stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the fish, but Du Heng was a little uncomfortable: "That's it... that's it? No dipping sauce?"
There was a piece of fish on Xuanyu's chopsticks, and he said to Du Heng, "Taste it first? If you need any other seasonings, you can mix some more."
Du Heng ate the fish meat in his mouth in one gulp, maybe it was his illusion, he felt the fish meat moved slightly in his mouth.The slightly cold fish has a salty taste, and it turns out to be crispy after chewing!This miraculous taste made Du Heng's eyes widen. He chewed it again, and it was indeed very fresh.
Du Heng doesn't like raw food very much. When he was in his hometown, his friends made an appointment to eat Japanese food. He couldn't get used to the taste of those sea fish every time.He always felt that salmon tasted like cold fat in his mouth, and had a fishy smell. Every time he finished eating, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach.
But the fish meat from Xuan Yu Pian was not at all like the fish meat he ate before. He had a feeling that this ingredient was alive and fresh!
Du Heng smacked his lips: "It's pretty good."
As soon as the words fell, Xuan Yu took the second chopsticks and said, "Eat more if you like it, and taste if there are any seasonings missing."
Du Heng thought for a while while chewing the raw fish: "May I try?"
He chopped ginger and shallots in a small bowl, then poured a little soy sauce and vinegar, and added a little sugar.After stirring for a while, Du Heng brushed his chopsticks. He always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't figure out what was missing for a while.
He put the small bowl next to Yusheng, then took a piece of fish and dipped it in the sauce: "Let me taste it first."
The peach blossom fish dipped in the sauce tasted a little more like the dipping sauce, and the taste was thicker.But he didn't have the experience to tell which one is better in just one bite. Du Heng scratched his head in embarrassment: "It doesn't seem to taste much."
Hearing what Du Heng said, everyone dipped their sashimi into the sauce one after another.Then they were all very supportive: "It's not bad. You can put it here, and you can have two flavors with one fish!"
The most anticipated thing is the grilled fish. I heard that the grilled fish by Xuanyu is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.Du Heng couldn't help drooling, seeing Du Heng looking forward to it, Xuan Yu picked up seven or eight packed fish and went to the eaves.
Du Heng stretched his neck to see how Xuan Yu grilled the fish, but the taro chicken in the pot was almost ready.He had no choice but to fill out the taro chicken. After filling a bowl, there was still some left in the pot. Du Heng cooked a big pot, which was enough for Feng Gui to eat for one meal!
Holding a big bowl of taro chicken, he walked towards the dining table: "The taro chicken is here~~"
There is a full bowl of taro chicken in the big bowl, and there are hills of taro and chicken piled in the middle of the red soup.When poked with chopsticks, the soft and rotten taro will be separated, but there are thick strings in the taro. They are desperately trying to keep the compatriots who are about to be separated. It is so touching that I want to eat it in one bite.
The chicken is crispy, and the meat can be sucked into the mouth with a light sip.Take a sip, the first thing that hits the mouth is the numbing taste that is hard to ignore, and the tip of the tongue is like being struck by lightning.Then there is the spiciness, the spiciness launched an offensive mildly, lighting a fire on the tip of the tongue and quietly in the mouth.
After the spicy taste, other fresh fragrances slowly emerge, which makes people want to stop.After Feng Gui ate several mouthfuls of taro and chicken, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.He finally took off the fox fur to reveal the bright yellow robe, and after a while, he even took off the outer robe, leaving only a layer of clothes next to his body.
Jing Nan watched Feng Gui and the others take one bite after another, and asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"
Feng Gui nodded: "It's super enjoyable! Come, have a bite of taro, this one is not too spicy."
It's rare that Feng Gui didn't deliberately tease Jing Nan this time, but Jing Nan still collapsed after taking a bite of taro: "You... Master..."
132
Du Heng picked up a few pieces of chicken and taro and put them in a small bowl. He poured a small spoonful of soup on it, and then took the small spoon to the eaves.
On the eaves of the corridor, Xuanyu was grilling fish over a charcoal fire.The charcoal fire was placed on the stove where Du Heng used to grill lamb kebabs, and Xuan Yu was watching the raindrops hanging from the eaves with chopsticks in his hand.
When Du Heng passed by, Xuan Yu happened to turn around, and Du Heng smiled: "Try taro chicken? Can you eat spicy food?"
Xuan Yu chuckled lightly and said, "Then let's try."
Du Heng carefully blew on the taro and handed it to Xuan Yu's mouth: "Be careful it's hot."
Xuan Yu took this piece of taro into his mouth in one bite, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.The taro is soft and waxy, and it can be melted without chewing just by stirring with the tongue.It is delicious and hot with a bit of sweetness, which is really good.Xuan Yu felt that there was a fire burning between his mouth and tongue, but he still wanted to take a sip: "Is there any more?"
Du Heng smiled: "Yes!"
Although he can't eat taro, he also knows that taro is the essence of taro chicken.He put down as many taro as chicken, and he handed another piece of taro to Xuanyu.He didn't know when it started, but he found that he and Xuanyu were very used to feeding each other.
Xuanyu ate three pieces of taro in a row: "It's delicious, I like the taste."
Du Heng laughed: "I thought you liked sweet things, but I didn't expect you to like such spicy things."
Xuanyu lowered his eyes and flipped through the fish on the grill, his voice was very calm: "I like everything you cook."
Du Heng took a piece of chicken gizzards: "Come here, eat chicken gizzards."
The chicken gizzard is no longer crispy, it is a piece of pure meat in the mouth.Xuanyu chewed carefully, then turned his head and spat out a pepper: "It's delicious. After eating your taro chicken, maybe they won't like my grilled fish."
The skin of the peach blossom fish on the grill has begun to turn slightly yellow, and the flesh of the fish squeaks under the charcoal grill.Xuanyu just sprinkled a little salt on the skin and belly of the fish, without too much seasoning, the whole fish looked a bit bland indeed.
But the simpler the cooking, the more it can show the original taste of the ingredients. Standing next to the grill, Du Heng smelled a strong fragrance.Du Heng sniffed: "It smells so good! This fish must be delicious."
Xuan Yu said with a slight smile: "In the years when you didn't come to the village, Jing Nan and I lived in the village. Feng Gui could only come back for a few days, after the excitement, Jing Nan and I were the only ones in the village smiling for three People. In spring, Xiaoxiao’s favorite thing is to let me catch peach blossom fish. But then Xiaoxiao got tired of eating it, so I stopped catching it.”
Xuanyu's voice was a little lonely: "I'm not good at cooking. I only have two ways to eat peach blossom fish raw and grilled. If you can study more ways to eat, I will catch more next year."
The scene when he first came to the village appeared in Du Heng's mind, and the village was lonely at that time.Xuanyu must have been alone for many years before he desperately wished for him to have a friend. Du Heng patted his chest immediately: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Xuan Yu ate a bowl of taro chicken in front of the grill, and he even finished the soup.After all, he can't eat spicy food like Feng Gui, his lips are slightly red because of the spicy food, and he looks a little more enthusiastic than usual.
Du Heng looked at the grilled fish, it seemed that it would take a while before he could eat it, so he went to the kitchen to make lunch first.
Ling rice was stewed in the big pot, and boiling water was boiled in the small pot.Du Heng is going to make fried bacon with bracken. This is a quick dish that can be fried when the rice is almost cooked.He wanted to take advantage of this gap to mix fresh Malan cold.
Malan would turn dark green when rolled in boiling water, Du Heng picked them up and soaked them in cold water.After the temperature of Malan dropped, he fished out Malan, squeezed out the water and chopped it into pieces.
You can add a little dried fragrant to the cold malan, but Du Heng is lazy and doesn't want to bother.He squeezed the moisture inside Malan again, and then put Malan on the plate.
After sprinkled with sesame oil, salt and a little pepper, a plate of cold Malan is ready.Du Heng thought for a while and didn't put Malan on the dining table. The taste of Malan depends on porridge water. How can the group of people who just ate big fish and meat taste the taste of Malan?He should not spoil his Malan.
Not long after Malan finished mixing, Xuanyu's grilled fish was ready too.A plate of grilled fish has a bright yellow skin, and the bones in the belly of the fish are roasted until crispy.When the chopsticks touch it, the crispy fish skin is separated from the white fish inside.
Peach Blossom Fish is a sea fish that grows in sea water. It has only a few bones in its whole body.Take a bite even with the belt meat, the slightly crispy fish skin wraps the slightly chewy fish inside, even if it is only decorated with salt, it is so fragrant that people can't stop eating.
Du Heng held the head of the fish with one hand and the tail with the other, and happily took a bite on the back of the fish.The meat on both sides of the back was torn off by him, leaving only the meat on both sides of the belly of the fish.He chewed the fish with a click, and a delicacy that he ate when he was a child appeared in his mind.
At that time, he was going to school in the town, and every day after school, there would be many small stalls selling fried skewers outside the school.There will be a kind of sea fish on the small stall. The sea fish is in the shape of a spindle. The proprietress will wrap a layer of batter on the sea fish. This kind of sea fish looks bigger than other things on the stall.
Du Heng didn't have much pocket money at that time, Du's father and his family opened a restaurant, they would not let Du Heng eat outside, but Du Heng was still greedy, whenever he saw children standing in front of a small stall eating unnutritious food He also wants to eat fried cabbage and fried fish wrapped in sweet bean sauce.
Finally one day, he scraped together two yuan, rushed to the stall as soon as school was over, and ordered a sea fish.He waited anxiously for the boss to fry it, and when the boss handed him the sea fish brushed with sweet bean sauce, he immediately took a bite.
At that time, like now, he took the first bite on the back of the fish.The battered fish tasted so salty and delicious that Du Heng even swallowed the fish bones.It's just so delicious!
Now eating Xuanyu's grilled fish, Du Heng miraculously thought of that scene.He squinted his eyes and gnawed at the meat on the belly of the fish, with an expression like a satiated cat.
Xuanyu grilled fish is really good. The bones in the belly of the fish are crispy, but the meat in the middle is soft. The skin and meat inside and outside are crispy, and the bones on the belly of the fish can be swallowed.
After Du Heng finished eating a fish, there was a big fish bone in front of him. If Xuanyu didn't stop him, Du Heng would even want to take a bite of the fish head.
After eating a piece of fish in one sitting, Du Heng wiped his mouth in satisfaction, and gave Xuan Yu a thumbs up: "It's delicious, this is the best grilled fish I've ever eaten!"
A smile bloomed in Xuan Yu's eyes: "Then I will catch more, if you like it, I will often bake it for you."
Du Heng didn't speak, but Jing Nan's mean voice came from beside him.Jing Nan held Feng Gui's hand affectionately: "This is the best grilled fish I've ever eaten!"
Feng Gui understood Jing Nan's intentions at once, and he held Feng Gui's hand back: "Ah, Xiao Heng, if you like it, I will often bake it for you."
The two started giggling and laughing: "Xiaoyu's heart is about to blossom right now."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu, only to see Xuan Yu looked at the two calmly: "Is it fun?" Jing Nan and Feng Gui nodded: "It's fun."
Du Heng really wanted to put the two of them to death in the taro chicken pot, can't they eat well?Must be funny?You can't learn from Xiaoxiao and Wen Qiong, look at Xiaoxiao, who hasn't stopped talking since the beginning!Look at Wen Qiong again, she gnawed on the taro chicken like a fascination.
As if sensing Du Heng's thoughts, he raised his head from the grilled fish with a smile, and he tweeted twice to Du Heng to remind Du Heng: the meal is almost ready, you can fry the bacon! !
Du Heng blushed and walked towards the stove, Jing Nan and Feng Gui really, what a pure brotherhood he and Xuan Yu are.After being performed by these two people, it seemed that there was an inexplicable feeling, and Du Heng almost knelt down to them.
The bacon on the chopping board has been sliced into thin slices, and the fatty fat is whitish, which proves that this piece of bacon was soaked and not cooked, and was sliced directly.Oil is easy to come out when bacon is fried, but what the mountain wild animals like bracken lack is the infiltration of oil. Bacon and bracken are a natural pair, and no one can tear them apart!
The author has something to say: In fact, there should be a lot of delicacies during this time, such as glutinous rice balls, spring rolls and other seasonal foods, but Du Heng has no time to cook because he is busy with his practice.Wait until next spring to do it.
Taro chicken is delicious, numbing and spicy, but I am not strong enough to fight. I eat fish head and my throat gets stuck, and chicken will be so spicy that I can only eat a few pieces before it dies down.
I've been stuck in emotional scenes for the past two days, do you know how painful I am? ?hold head high?Why should I blame myself?
The bracken by the river is infiltrated by the rain, green and shiny, so tender that it makes people feel good at a glance.Roll upwards along the tender stem, and when it reaches a certain point, the tender stem will snap off.This sound is crisp and crisp, just listening to this sound, Du Heng can listen to it for a whole day.
There are two kinds of bracken that grow more by the river, one is darker in color, but the stem is thick, and the upper stem is curled up like the legs of an octopus, and it is also covered with fine fluff.One is the emerald green fern that Du Heng picks a lot, which makes people unable to stop. This kind of green bracken is relatively thin and does not have so many hairs on it.
There are also several kinds of bracken wrapped in fluff, which is not very easy to provoke.
Du Heng picked these two kinds of bracken that he had eaten and known, and he didn't dare to pick the others.If it is poisonous, it's fine if you poison yourself, but it's not good if you poison other people in the village.
Xuanyu bent down to help Du Heng pick bracken, his movements were not as smooth as Du Heng's, and he would stand up and look around after picking a few bracken.
Seeing Xuanyu standing up again, Du Heng smiled and said, "Xuanyu, what are you looking at?"
Xuanyu said slowly: "This place is close to Nanshan Mountain, sometimes there will be monsters attacking."
Hearing what Xuanyu said, Du Heng immediately remembered the dead mountain ointment that appeared in the trap when he went up to Nanshan for the second time.It must be terrible to be able to injure Shan Gao into such a monster.
Moreover, spring is the season for animals to mate, and most animals will be irritable. If there are groups of monsters descending the mountain, Du Heng really can't stop them.
Thinking of it this way, Du Heng's enthusiasm for picking vegetables was extinguished, and he put the picked bracken in the basket in twos and twos.The bracken was half covered, and Du Heng thought for a while and said, "Then... let's pick less bracken and go home? How about picking a basket and going back?"
Xuanyu said: "It's okay, you don't need to be nervous, there won't be any problems with me. You can pick bracken with confidence."
Du Heng smiled and said: "You can't be greedy. If you don't like the taste, it will be a waste to take it back. Besides, it's close anyway. If you like it, we'll come back next time."
Xuan Yu nodded, and he continued to bend down to pick the bracken.The bracken juice stained the skin of his hands to a blue-gray color, making him look dirty.But a fresh fragrance lingers in my hand, and it smells quite nice.
Not only Du Heng and the other two were picking bracken, Xiaoxiao and Nian Sui Sui were also helping to pick bracken by the river.The two chicks are not tall and need to jump up and peck off the bracken stalks.They dragged the pecked bracken to the back basket, and often only picked one or two bracken after working for a long time.
Xiaoxiao has a big mouth, he can carry a handful of bracken in his mouth and send it to his back basket.A group of people picked up excitedly by the stream, and picked a basket of bracken in a short time.
Not long after, Du Heng saw Jing Nan standing in the peach forest on the other side of the river, and Jing Nan said with a smile, "Is this food edible?"
Du Heng stood up: "It should be edible. I'll make it for everyone to taste. If you like it, I'll come and pick some more."
Jing Nan smiled and said: "Okay, just remember one thing. The stone river in front of you is the boundary. If no one is with you, you'd better not cross the boundary easily. The monsters on Nanshan are eyeing you. If you are alone If you cross the river, the consequences will be serious."
Du Heng looked at Jing Nan quietly: "Do you think it's fun to scare me?"
Jing Nan laughed out loud: "You discovered all of this?"
When returning back, Du Heng filled the back basket with bracken, Xiao Xiao and Nian Sui Sui could not stay in it anymore, Du Heng and Xuan Yu could only carry these little guys across the river.
When flying over the rocks, Du Heng saw fish swimming upstream in the stream.In places where the water is shallow, there are a lot of this kind of fish, and it feels like you can catch them with a net bag.
Jing Nan stood under the peach tree, and the pink petals of the peach blossom fell on his shoulders.He smiled: "What are you looking at?"
Du Heng said: "Look at the fish in the water, I wonder if they can be eaten."
Not far from where Du Heng stayed, there was a puddle, and the fish in the puddle was densely packed.Du Heng was envious when he saw it. This kind of fish has a round head and a cylindrical body. It looks very fleshy.
Jing Nan said: "Of course you can eat it, and the taste is quite good. In the past, Xiaoyu would catch a few fish and go back to eat raw and grilled fish, right Xiaoyu?"
Xuanyu said: "This kind of fish is called Eryue 鱤, also called peach blossom fish. When the peach blossoms bloom, they swim from the sea to the upper reaches to lay eggs. This season is their fattest season. You can eat raw fish. If you feel If you are interested, you can think of other ways.”
Du Heng rubbed his hands, and looked at Xuanyu expectantly: "Then Xuanyu, can you help catch some of them back? Let's burn them when we go back?"
Xuan Yu nodded: "Okay."
Xuan Yu stretched out his hand to Jing Nan: "Give me the basket."
Jing Nan muttered: "Can't you carry an extra basket when you come out? Or ask Du Heng to put his bracken in the storage bag? Anyway, it's not troublesome to make a storage bag, right?" Jing Nan muttered, while Passing the basket on his back to Xuanyu, he still did not forget to say: "Catch more, Xiaoyu, the grilled fish you cook is quite delicious."
Xuanyu took off his boots, rolled up his trouser legs and dipped into the water. The fish were not afraid of him at all, they were still squeezed by his feet.As soon as he bent down, he picked up half a basket of peach blossom fish, each peach blossom fish was a foot long, and they were plump and bouncing around in the basket.
Du Heng originally thought that Xuanyu would stop after fishing once, but he saw Xuanyu took a storage bag from his waist.He picked up the fish in the basket one by one into the storage bag, and then he said to Du Heng with the empty basket on his back: "I'll go to the entrance of the village to have a look, there are more fish there, you go back first, don't wait." I."
Du Heng lifted his boots and said, "Xuan Yu, don't you take the boots with you?"
Xuan Yu smiled and said: "It's okay, you can take it back for me. I'll go back after I catch the fish."
After saying this, Xuanyu walked towards the entrance of the village along the water, and Little Wonton followed by stepping on the green grass on the bank. One person and one dog went around the peach blossom tree and disappeared.
Du Heng lifted the boots in his hand, he looked down at Nian and Suisui: "Oh, you can only go back."
The two chicks patted their wings and smiled aggressively, as if they were telling Du Heng with their actions: they can go!
Jing Nan clasped her hands and said, "Let's go? Go back?"
Du Heng spotted a piece of plump Malan head under the peach tree with sharp eyes, and he immediately became interested: "No hurry, I'll dig some Malan and bring it back."
Jing Nan frowned: "Malan? Is this edible?" Du Heng put the basket beside him, bent down and took out a sickle from the side of the basket: "Eatable, mix Malan with cold to clear the heat and remove heat, and serve with porridge It's the best."
Du Heng was soon separated by a large handful of Malan. Looking left and right, he couldn't find a place to install Malan.It doesn't bother him, he has a huge sleeve, and the sleeve can hold a lot of things!
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Jing Nan urged Du Heng again: "Stop digging, go back. If you don't go back, the lunch time will be postponed."
Du Heng stood up with great satisfaction and carried the basket on his back: "Picking wild vegetables is so enjoyable, I will pick them again when I have time these two days."
Xuan Yu engraved a formation on his body that could stop the rain, no matter how much rain outside, it couldn't wet his clothes.
Seeing Du Heng walking forward, Jing Nan was a few steps behind.He looked at Nanshan on the other side of the river, and the corner of Jing Nan's mouth curled up in a contemptuous arc: "Oh, I don't know how to live or die."
He picked a dead branch five inches long from the peach tree, and saw a flash of inspiration in Jing Nan's hand, and the dead branch went straight to the opposite bank like a thunderbolt.Not long after the dead branches passed by, a giant mass rolled down the mountain.
The giant fell heavily to the other side of the river, and something crawled out from the depths of the bracken on the river bank and dragged the giant to the back of the boulder.
Jing Nan followed Du Heng home, humming a tune with her hands in her hands: "In the future, you won't be allowed to cross the river without us. I didn't scare you."
Du Heng replied: "I know, I know."
Jing Nan added: "There are a lot of wild things on the mountain. It's not peaceful these days. Just tell us what you want to pick. Don't run out by yourself."
Du Heng was helpless: "Why do I feel that you speak to me in the same tone as I speak to Xiaoxiao? I know, I'm not a child, I won't run around!"
The spring rain was pattering, and when Du Heng returned to the eaves, the rain was hanging down from the eaves in lines.The down quilts of the two chicks under the eaves were wet. Du Heng wiped them clean with a towel and then sent them to the edge of the stove: "Dry them here before letting them go out, otherwise you will get sick."
Fortunately, the chicks were very obedient, and the two of them snuggled up to the door of the warm stove and closed their eyes.
Du Heng looked at the rain outside, he was a little worried about Xuanyu: "Is Xuanyu still catching fish? Don't freeze."
Feng Gui said calmly: "Don't worry about him, he's not that delicate. What's for lunch today?"
Du Heng poured the bracken in the back basket onto the eaves of the verandah, and said: "Fried bracken with bacon and cold Malan. When Xuanyu catches fish later, make braised fish and fish soup!"
Feng Gui became irritable: "Could you make something I can eat? Clear soup with little water sounds like I have no appetite."
Du Heng was extremely helpless: "What do you want to eat?" Feng Gui said, "Spicy."
Du Heng thought for a while: "Soak two sausages for you, don't quarrel."
Feng Gui was angry again: "I'm going out soon, can't you cook something delicious?"
Du Heng was taken aback: "Hey? Where are you going?"
Feng Gui is not in the village all the year round, he has been in the village for a long time this time.If I go out in April, I may only come back once or twice in the middle of the year. The next time I come back, it will be Chinese New Year.
Hearing what Feng Gui said, Du Heng fell silent for a rare time.He went to the refrigerator and looked around, and when he came out, he was holding a big rooster in his hand: "Do you want to eat the taro chicken?"
Taro chicken is one of the few pure and spicy dishes that Du Heng can make, and this dish is also a unique skill of Du's mother.The soft and glutinous taro is stewed with chicken, the chicken is soft and rotten, and the taro is more delicious than chicken.This dish is spicy, delicious and very appetizing, Fenggui should like this taste.
Feng Gui smiled: "Eat!"
Jing Nan glanced at Feng Gui with his sharp eyes: "You're hot, you're hot!"
131
The taro chicken dish requires taro, and Du Heng dug out the taro from the refrigerator.He bought these yams for Laba porridge in the last lunar month, but when he was making Laba porridge, he forgot to put them.
Thinking about it carefully, he and Xiaoxiao sneaked out and were frightened by monsters, and missed the time to cook Laba porridge.This box of taro is left like this, and it is still hairy.
Du Heng is actually not very good at eating taro. Every time he eats taro, his throat feels numb.At first he thought it was because the yams made outside hadn't been processed properly, but later he found out that it was heredity.Du's father can't eat taro, no matter what kind of taro he eats, his throat will feel astringent.
After Mama Du married Papa Du, the dish of taro chicken fell out of favor for this reason, and it can only be prepared and served to entertain guests during the holidays.There is no one who has eaten the taro chicken made by Du's mother. Du Heng can't eat taro, but he can eat chicken!Taro chicken soup bibimbap, he can eat two bowls.
Du Heng took out the taro and put it in the Shau Kei. Every taro in Zhou's shop was as big as a fist and hairy.
If the taro is not well protected when peeling, the soup will itch on the hands.Du Heng originally wanted to use the old method to remove the taro skin, but it was raining so heavily outside, and he was not happy to toss around in the yard.
So he took out the bamboo plane to plan to peel off the outer skin of the taro.A layer of cyan aura emerged from Du Heng's hands, and the aura separated Taro and his hands like gloves.After a while, he got a shaukei of taro seeds.
I don't know where the taro from Zhou's shop came from. After peeling off the outer skin of the taro, fine and dense purple snowflake-like patterns appeared inside.This kind of taro has a soft taste, and Du Heng has only seen such patterns on big taro in the south before.
Wen Qiong squatted beside Du Heng, and she watched Du Heng cook the taro: "Isn't this... used for alchemy?"
Du Heng said: "You can also eat it. By the way, master, you know taro?"
Wen Qiong said: "Yes, I saw someone planting this in the spiritual field of the sect. I thought it could only be used for alchemy. I didn't expect it to be eaten..."
Jing Nan said with a smile: "Since Du Heng came to the village, we have eaten a lot of strange things. This one is not bad."
Du Heng cleaned the taro and chicken in the sink and took them out. He cut the taro into bite-sized hob pieces.Of course, during the process of cutting the taro, there was still aura surging in his hands.Just now he has confirmed that the hands and taro are separated by spiritual energy, and the hands will not itch.
Du Heng was preparing the ingredients again, he felt a little regretful: "It would be great if there was bean paste."
He only fried the hot pot base before, but did not make bean paste.It seems that he will make some bean paste when he is free. The taste of the hot pot base and bean paste are still different.If there is no bean paste in this dish of taro chicken, it will lose a lot of flavor.
But it shouldn't be a problem to fool Feng Gui and the others, Du Heng looked meanly at Feng Gui who was drinking tea in the kitchen.Feng Gui was furious at the sight: "How are you trying to fool me with your wicked eyebrows?"
Du Heng turned his gaze back, the big monster's sense is too keen, he can't do anything wrong.
Pour soybean oil into the pot, and when the oil is hot, Du Heng pours taro along the side of the pot.The taro is first fried and then steamed in a steamer before being added to the chicken soup. The taro will not melt and will not make the taro chicken soup sticky.
This is the recipe asked by Mama Du. When she used to cook, she would put taro and chicken in it to cook, and the soup was full of glutinous taro.But since Du Heng and Du's father couldn't eat taro, Du's mother changed the recipe.In this way, she can eat her taro, and Du Heng and Du's father can also eat chicken.
Taro chicken with non-cloudy soup is considered unauthentic by many people, but Du Heng thinks this is the most authentic taro chicken, full of mother's love.
When the skin of the taro was fried and turned slightly yellow, Du Heng put the taro in a large bowl and placed it on the steamer.After steaming two cups of tea, the taro will mature.
While the taro was steaming, Du Heng put a lot of Chinese prickly ash in the pot.As soon as the peppercorns are put into the pot, the choking spicy taste dissipates.Feng Gui was satisfied: "Ah, this tempting spicy taste is really strong."
Du Heng poured the fatty chicken pieces into the pot and stir-fried. The fire should be high so that the excess water in the chicken to be fried would not flow out. When the oil in the skin of the chicken was about to seep out, he could then pour in the white wine and stir-fry for a while.It doesn't need to be fried for too long, the chicken nuggets have to bid farewell to the cauldron temporarily.
After filling the chicken pieces, Du Heng added some soybean oil to the pot, and when the oil was hot, he added a handful of Chinese prickly ash.Seeing Du Heng drop peppercorns, Jing Nan hissed: "It's too cruel, don't give me a way out."
When he saw that Du Heng had added a big lump of hot pot ingredients to it, he said quietly to Feng Gui: "Maybe only you and Xiaoxiao can eat this dish today."
Wen Qiong raised her hands weakly: "Actually... I can do it too." Jing Nan stared angrily: "Can't you bully me to eat spicy food?"
After the red oil in the pot came out, Du Heng sprinkled a lot of dried chilies, and the hot red peppers came out of the pot immediately.Following the chilli, Du Heng put the chicken pieces into the pot and stir-fried them with the ingredients.After frying for half a cup of tea, he added white wine, soy sauce, sliced ginger and white garlic to stir fry together.
After stirring another half a cup of tea, he added a spoonful of boiling water to the pot.After the chicken was submerged in boiling water, Du Heng proudly grabbed a handful of shallots, washed them, tied them into knots, and threw them into the pot.
At this time, the taro in the pot was about to ripen, so Du Heng moved down the steamer.With the boiling water in the pot, he threw the two handfuls of bracken that he had just cleaned up into the pot to blanch.
The bracken is fresh and tender, and it will become soft after a little blanching.Du Heng scooped them up and put them in cold water. The bracken in cold water would not turn yellow easily, and the taste would be more crisp and tender.
Just as Du Heng was soaking the bracken in the water, the cry of little wonton came from outside the courtyard gate.Xuan Yu is back!
Du Heng immediately walked out of the kitchen, and he saw Xuan Yu walking through the door.Xuan Yu was holding a pannier in one hand and an umbrella in the other.He was barefoot, if it was Du Heng who did this, he would be in a particularly embarrassing situation.However, Xuanyu seemed to be back from a walk, leisurely and relaxed!
Du Heng said happily: "It's back!!"
Xuanyu strode to the eaves of the corridor, he put the basket on the ground, and then closed the umbrella: "Well, the harvest is good. Have a look?"
There are half a basket of peach blossom fish in the back basket, each of which is plump and round.A fishy smell wafted out of the basket, and if there was a cat in the house, they would definitely hang around the basket and refuse to leave at this moment.However, there is no cat at home, only a little wonton that is soaking wet and throwing water under the eaves.
Xuan Yu smelled the spicy smell in the courtyard, he frowned and looked at Feng Gui: "Do you cook spicy food again? Du Heng can't eat spicy food."
Feng Gui hummed: "I'm leaving soon, can't you let me eat something good?"
Du Heng looked at the fish basket, and asked happily: "How can I eat this fish? I haven't eaten it before!"
Xuanyu said: "This kind of fish can be eaten raw or grilled. How about I make it for you to try today? You know the ingredients better, and you can try other methods after you have tasted it?"
Jing Nan and the others immediately got excited: "Hey, Xiaoyu is going to cook!!" "It's been so many years, he is finally willing to cook, I have been thinking about his grilled fish for many years!"
Xuanyu was cleaning up the fish, and Du Heng was cooking bacon.And Jing Nan and the others walked around Xuanyu for a while: "What a beautiful knife maker." After a while they walked around behind Du Heng: "When can we eat taro chicken?"
Du Heng was busy pouring the taro into the pot, he estimated the time: "It will be ready to eat in a little more time."
After the taro was put into the pot, he tasted the saltiness. Unfortunately, he lost his sense of taste after entering the soup.Du Heng's hot face turned red, and he waved to Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao come and taste the salt."
This time he didn't let Xiaoxiao drink the soup, but added a piece of chicken leg to Xiaoxiao's mouth: "Try the saltiness? If it's too light, I'll add salt."
Xiaoxiao took the chicken leg in one mouthful, and after a few clicks, he turned his head and spat out a bone.He patted his wings very satisfied: "Jiujiu!!"
It seems that the taste is not bad, Du Heng is relieved.Du Heng picked up the chicken bones on the ground and threw them into his special bucket for kitchen waste.It's not that he doesn't let the little wonton eat, the puppy is easy to get stuck when eating the small bone, Du Heng is willing to let the little wonton have an accident.
Xuan Yu quickly cut a fish out, and there was a circle of slightly transparent fish meat on the snow-white plate, and the head of the carp was placed in the middle of the fish meat.For a one-foot-long carp, the meat actually spread out on a whole plate, Xuanyu's knife skills are really amazing.
Xuanyu put the fish plate on the table: "Eat it."
Jing Nan, Feng Gui and the others immediately stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the fish, but Du Heng was a little uncomfortable: "That's it... that's it? No dipping sauce?"
There was a piece of fish on Xuanyu's chopsticks, and he said to Du Heng, "Taste it first? If you need any other seasonings, you can mix some more."
Du Heng ate the fish meat in his mouth in one gulp, maybe it was his illusion, he felt the fish meat moved slightly in his mouth.The slightly cold fish has a salty taste, and it turns out to be crispy after chewing!This miraculous taste made Du Heng's eyes widen. He chewed it again, and it was indeed very fresh.
Du Heng doesn't like raw food very much. When he was in his hometown, his friends made an appointment to eat Japanese food. He couldn't get used to the taste of those sea fish every time.He always felt that salmon tasted like cold fat in his mouth, and had a fishy smell. Every time he finished eating, he felt uncomfortable in his stomach.
But the fish meat from Xuan Yu Pian was not at all like the fish meat he ate before. He had a feeling that this ingredient was alive and fresh!
Du Heng smacked his lips: "It's pretty good."
As soon as the words fell, Xuan Yu took the second chopsticks and said, "Eat more if you like it, and taste if there are any seasonings missing."
Du Heng thought for a while while chewing the raw fish: "May I try?"
He chopped ginger and shallots in a small bowl, then poured a little soy sauce and vinegar, and added a little sugar.After stirring for a while, Du Heng brushed his chopsticks. He always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't figure out what was missing for a while.
He put the small bowl next to Yusheng, then took a piece of fish and dipped it in the sauce: "Let me taste it first."
The peach blossom fish dipped in the sauce tasted a little more like the dipping sauce, and the taste was thicker.But he didn't have the experience to tell which one is better in just one bite. Du Heng scratched his head in embarrassment: "It doesn't seem to taste much."
Hearing what Du Heng said, everyone dipped their sashimi into the sauce one after another.Then they were all very supportive: "It's not bad. You can put it here, and you can have two flavors with one fish!"
The most anticipated thing is the grilled fish. I heard that the grilled fish by Xuanyu is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.Du Heng couldn't help drooling, seeing Du Heng looking forward to it, Xuan Yu picked up seven or eight packed fish and went to the eaves.
Du Heng stretched his neck to see how Xuan Yu grilled the fish, but the taro chicken in the pot was almost ready.He had no choice but to fill out the taro chicken. After filling a bowl, there was still some left in the pot. Du Heng cooked a big pot, which was enough for Feng Gui to eat for one meal!
Holding a big bowl of taro chicken, he walked towards the dining table: "The taro chicken is here~~"
There is a full bowl of taro chicken in the big bowl, and there are hills of taro and chicken piled in the middle of the red soup.When poked with chopsticks, the soft and rotten taro will be separated, but there are thick strings in the taro. They are desperately trying to keep the compatriots who are about to be separated. It is so touching that I want to eat it in one bite.
The chicken is crispy, and the meat can be sucked into the mouth with a light sip.Take a sip, the first thing that hits the mouth is the numbing taste that is hard to ignore, and the tip of the tongue is like being struck by lightning.Then there is the spiciness, the spiciness launched an offensive mildly, lighting a fire on the tip of the tongue and quietly in the mouth.
After the spicy taste, other fresh fragrances slowly emerge, which makes people want to stop.After Feng Gui ate several mouthfuls of taro and chicken, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.He finally took off the fox fur to reveal the bright yellow robe, and after a while, he even took off the outer robe, leaving only a layer of clothes next to his body.
Jing Nan watched Feng Gui and the others take one bite after another, and asked in a low voice, "Is it delicious?"
Feng Gui nodded: "It's super enjoyable! Come, have a bite of taro, this one is not too spicy."
It's rare that Feng Gui didn't deliberately tease Jing Nan this time, but Jing Nan still collapsed after taking a bite of taro: "You... Master..."
132
Du Heng picked up a few pieces of chicken and taro and put them in a small bowl. He poured a small spoonful of soup on it, and then took the small spoon to the eaves.
On the eaves of the corridor, Xuanyu was grilling fish over a charcoal fire.The charcoal fire was placed on the stove where Du Heng used to grill lamb kebabs, and Xuan Yu was watching the raindrops hanging from the eaves with chopsticks in his hand.
When Du Heng passed by, Xuan Yu happened to turn around, and Du Heng smiled: "Try taro chicken? Can you eat spicy food?"
Xuan Yu chuckled lightly and said, "Then let's try."
Du Heng carefully blew on the taro and handed it to Xuan Yu's mouth: "Be careful it's hot."
Xuan Yu took this piece of taro into his mouth in one bite, and he narrowed his eyes slightly.The taro is soft and waxy, and it can be melted without chewing just by stirring with the tongue.It is delicious and hot with a bit of sweetness, which is really good.Xuan Yu felt that there was a fire burning between his mouth and tongue, but he still wanted to take a sip: "Is there any more?"
Du Heng smiled: "Yes!"
Although he can't eat taro, he also knows that taro is the essence of taro chicken.He put down as many taro as chicken, and he handed another piece of taro to Xuanyu.He didn't know when it started, but he found that he and Xuanyu were very used to feeding each other.
Xuanyu ate three pieces of taro in a row: "It's delicious, I like the taste."
Du Heng laughed: "I thought you liked sweet things, but I didn't expect you to like such spicy things."
Xuanyu lowered his eyes and flipped through the fish on the grill, his voice was very calm: "I like everything you cook."
Du Heng took a piece of chicken gizzards: "Come here, eat chicken gizzards."
The chicken gizzard is no longer crispy, it is a piece of pure meat in the mouth.Xuanyu chewed carefully, then turned his head and spat out a pepper: "It's delicious. After eating your taro chicken, maybe they won't like my grilled fish."
The skin of the peach blossom fish on the grill has begun to turn slightly yellow, and the flesh of the fish squeaks under the charcoal grill.Xuanyu just sprinkled a little salt on the skin and belly of the fish, without too much seasoning, the whole fish looked a bit bland indeed.
But the simpler the cooking, the more it can show the original taste of the ingredients. Standing next to the grill, Du Heng smelled a strong fragrance.Du Heng sniffed: "It smells so good! This fish must be delicious."
Xuan Yu said with a slight smile: "In the years when you didn't come to the village, Jing Nan and I lived in the village. Feng Gui could only come back for a few days, after the excitement, Jing Nan and I were the only ones in the village smiling for three People. In spring, Xiaoxiao’s favorite thing is to let me catch peach blossom fish. But then Xiaoxiao got tired of eating it, so I stopped catching it.”
Xuanyu's voice was a little lonely: "I'm not good at cooking. I only have two ways to eat peach blossom fish raw and grilled. If you can study more ways to eat, I will catch more next year."
The scene when he first came to the village appeared in Du Heng's mind, and the village was lonely at that time.Xuanyu must have been alone for many years before he desperately wished for him to have a friend. Du Heng patted his chest immediately: "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Xuan Yu ate a bowl of taro chicken in front of the grill, and he even finished the soup.After all, he can't eat spicy food like Feng Gui, his lips are slightly red because of the spicy food, and he looks a little more enthusiastic than usual.
Du Heng looked at the grilled fish, it seemed that it would take a while before he could eat it, so he went to the kitchen to make lunch first.
Ling rice was stewed in the big pot, and boiling water was boiled in the small pot.Du Heng is going to make fried bacon with bracken. This is a quick dish that can be fried when the rice is almost cooked.He wanted to take advantage of this gap to mix fresh Malan cold.
Malan would turn dark green when rolled in boiling water, Du Heng picked them up and soaked them in cold water.After the temperature of Malan dropped, he fished out Malan, squeezed out the water and chopped it into pieces.
You can add a little dried fragrant to the cold malan, but Du Heng is lazy and doesn't want to bother.He squeezed the moisture inside Malan again, and then put Malan on the plate.
After sprinkled with sesame oil, salt and a little pepper, a plate of cold Malan is ready.Du Heng thought for a while and didn't put Malan on the dining table. The taste of Malan depends on porridge water. How can the group of people who just ate big fish and meat taste the taste of Malan?He should not spoil his Malan.
Not long after Malan finished mixing, Xuanyu's grilled fish was ready too.A plate of grilled fish has a bright yellow skin, and the bones in the belly of the fish are roasted until crispy.When the chopsticks touch it, the crispy fish skin is separated from the white fish inside.
Peach Blossom Fish is a sea fish that grows in sea water. It has only a few bones in its whole body.Take a bite even with the belt meat, the slightly crispy fish skin wraps the slightly chewy fish inside, even if it is only decorated with salt, it is so fragrant that people can't stop eating.
Du Heng held the head of the fish with one hand and the tail with the other, and happily took a bite on the back of the fish.The meat on both sides of the back was torn off by him, leaving only the meat on both sides of the belly of the fish.He chewed the fish with a click, and a delicacy that he ate when he was a child appeared in his mind.
At that time, he was going to school in the town, and every day after school, there would be many small stalls selling fried skewers outside the school.There will be a kind of sea fish on the small stall. The sea fish is in the shape of a spindle. The proprietress will wrap a layer of batter on the sea fish. This kind of sea fish looks bigger than other things on the stall.
Du Heng didn't have much pocket money at that time, Du's father and his family opened a restaurant, they would not let Du Heng eat outside, but Du Heng was still greedy, whenever he saw children standing in front of a small stall eating unnutritious food He also wants to eat fried cabbage and fried fish wrapped in sweet bean sauce.
Finally one day, he scraped together two yuan, rushed to the stall as soon as school was over, and ordered a sea fish.He waited anxiously for the boss to fry it, and when the boss handed him the sea fish brushed with sweet bean sauce, he immediately took a bite.
At that time, like now, he took the first bite on the back of the fish.The battered fish tasted so salty and delicious that Du Heng even swallowed the fish bones.It's just so delicious!
Now eating Xuanyu's grilled fish, Du Heng miraculously thought of that scene.He squinted his eyes and gnawed at the meat on the belly of the fish, with an expression like a satiated cat.
Xuanyu grilled fish is really good. The bones in the belly of the fish are crispy, but the meat in the middle is soft. The skin and meat inside and outside are crispy, and the bones on the belly of the fish can be swallowed.
After Du Heng finished eating a fish, there was a big fish bone in front of him. If Xuanyu didn't stop him, Du Heng would even want to take a bite of the fish head.
After eating a piece of fish in one sitting, Du Heng wiped his mouth in satisfaction, and gave Xuan Yu a thumbs up: "It's delicious, this is the best grilled fish I've ever eaten!"
A smile bloomed in Xuan Yu's eyes: "Then I will catch more, if you like it, I will often bake it for you."
Du Heng didn't speak, but Jing Nan's mean voice came from beside him.Jing Nan held Feng Gui's hand affectionately: "This is the best grilled fish I've ever eaten!"
Feng Gui understood Jing Nan's intentions at once, and he held Feng Gui's hand back: "Ah, Xiao Heng, if you like it, I will often bake it for you."
The two started giggling and laughing: "Xiaoyu's heart is about to blossom right now."
Du Heng looked at Xuan Yu, only to see Xuan Yu looked at the two calmly: "Is it fun?" Jing Nan and Feng Gui nodded: "It's fun."
Du Heng really wanted to put the two of them to death in the taro chicken pot, can't they eat well?Must be funny?You can't learn from Xiaoxiao and Wen Qiong, look at Xiaoxiao, who hasn't stopped talking since the beginning!Look at Wen Qiong again, she gnawed on the taro chicken like a fascination.
As if sensing Du Heng's thoughts, he raised his head from the grilled fish with a smile, and he tweeted twice to Du Heng to remind Du Heng: the meal is almost ready, you can fry the bacon! !
Du Heng blushed and walked towards the stove, Jing Nan and Feng Gui really, what a pure brotherhood he and Xuan Yu are.After being performed by these two people, it seemed that there was an inexplicable feeling, and Du Heng almost knelt down to them.
The bacon on the chopping board has been sliced into thin slices, and the fatty fat is whitish, which proves that this piece of bacon was soaked and not cooked, and was sliced directly.Oil is easy to come out when bacon is fried, but what the mountain wild animals like bracken lack is the infiltration of oil. Bacon and bracken are a natural pair, and no one can tear them apart!
The author has something to say: In fact, there should be a lot of delicacies during this time, such as glutinous rice balls, spring rolls and other seasonal foods, but Du Heng has no time to cook because he is busy with his practice.Wait until next spring to do it.
Taro chicken is delicious, numbing and spicy, but I am not strong enough to fight. I eat fish head and my throat gets stuck, and chicken will be so spicy that I can only eat a few pieces before it dies down.
I've been stuck in emotional scenes for the past two days, do you know how painful I am? ?hold head high?Why should I blame myself?
