Chapter 35: The Coiled Dragon Eel
"What... Can it be worth 200,000?"
The first to speak was not Tie Dan's father, but Zhang Butcher.
Later, several other people also discussed that such an inconspicuous thing, which was even almost thrown away as garbage, was so valuable.
In the countryside, 200,000 is enough to build a good house.
Looking at the inconspicuous little thing on the ground, Tie Dan's father was a little dazed.
It took a while to come back to his senses, and he still asked in disbelief.
"Really... Is it really worth more than 200,000 yuan? Xiao Jiang, you can't make fun of your Uncle Yang. If it was really that valuable, I didn't say it. This pig is given to you. ”
Jiang Yihuan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, where could such a big pig finish eating, and he just knew such news.
"Uncle Yang, how can I make such a joke with you. It's a treasure, you're good to go. I can help you find a buyer when I have the opportunity. ”
Hearing Jiang Yihuan's reconfirmation, Tie Dan's father was relieved.
Mei Zizi put away this pig treasure, and her heart blossomed.
When Tie Dan's father came out again, he was about to really plan to give the whole pig to Jiang Yihuan, but he found that the two had flown away.
"Xiao Huan, why are you running. ”
Xia Zhu wondered.
"It's okay if you don't run, can't you really move the whole pig back, or do you have a few dozen more rounds with Iron Egg?"
Jiang Yihuan smiled bitterly.
Thinking of the scene when he gave the money to Tie Dan's father just now, Xia Zhu suddenly realized.
I became more curious about this rural area.
The two returned home in embarrassment, and Jiang Yihuan took the pig blood and tube bones in his hand into the back kitchen.
This tube bone will be stewed in the soup at night, and it is too late to start simmering now.
I went to Uncle Zhang's house and bought some game, crayfish, and yellow eel.
And one more
Looking at the time, I felt that it was almost time to start cooking.
Jiang Yihuan decided to cook himself, and the guests came today, but he didn't want to tire his mother too much.
"Mom, don't be busy. Today I'm going to cook. ”
Jiang Yihuan took the vegetables in his mother's hand and said.
"Yes, Auntie, you can take a break. I just want to try Xiaohuan's craftsmanship. ”
Xia Zhu also said on the side.
"It's okay, I'm not tired. Otherwise, I'll help him get firewood. ”
Wang Hongxia saw that both of them said so, so she didn't continue to insist. Rather, he said to help light the fire.
Jiang Yihuan's home is an earthen stove, and he is indeed a little too busy to be alone.
The earthen stove of a farmer's house is usually divided into one pot and two pots.
The front side near the stove is mainly used for stir-frying, while the back one generally doesn't use much, and most of them are steamed vegetables.
Originally, Xia Zhu wanted to help light the fire, but Wang Hongxia didn't let him.
And he really hadn't seen an earthen stove in the countryside, let alone helped make a fire.
I had to watch from the sidelines.
When Jiang Yihuan tied his mother's apron, Xia Zhu felt a little interesting.
Wash all the ingredients and start the knife.
I didn't feel anything when I didn't hold the knife, but I picked up the knife.
It feels like a different person, knock...
Xia Zhu only felt dazzled for a while.
It didn't take long for a few dishes to be prepared.
Looking at this posture, this can catch up with the chef of his own restaurant.
No, it's better than all chefs.
After the dishes are served, the next step is to start cooking.
At this time, Xia Zhu was also pulled out by Wang Hongxia, because she was about to start a fire, and the smoke was too thick for fear of smoking her.
This dish of dragon eel is Jiang Yihuan's specialty, and of course it is also the inheritance of his mother's mantle.
Since he was a child, he has loved to eat the dragon eel made by Wang Hongxia, not only him.
I don't know how many times I cried the child next door.
However, this dish is difficult to say, and there are not many practical ingredients, and the steps are not troublesome.
But let's put it simply, the control of the heat and the grasp of time. And the flavor must be blended properly.
And the choice of ingredients is also very important.
Wang Hongxia had just finished lighting a fire here, so she threw a few thick sticks of firewood.
Then the fire began to grow slowly, and the remaining water droplets in the pot crackled, and after a while, green smoke rose from the pot.
Jiang Yihuan asked his mother to suppress the fire.
That is, a few firewoods that are burning vigorously are picked up with tongs and sent to the pot on the earthen stove where only water is boiled and steamed.
When the fire was not so strong, Jiang Yihuan poured in the rapeseed oil he pressed at home. A characteristic rape aroma came out.
Without waiting for the oil to heat up, pour the yellow eel into the pot, which is almost dry.
This plate of dragon eel is different from other things, you need to put fresh live eel directly into the pot, so that the eel can be plated.
If you wait for the oil to heat up before you put the eel, it will be easy to fry it everywhere.
So Jiang Yihuan chose cold oil to put in the pot.
After a while, the temperature in the pot began to rise, and the lid of the pot was also hit by the yellow eel bouncing inside.
After a while, there was no movement in the pot.
Opening the lid of the pot, Jiang Yihuan picked up the spatula and turned it gently.
Wait until they're all rolled up and then fished out.
Then wait for the oil temperature in the pan to rise again.
The purpose of this is to make the meat crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, crispy and delicious, which is also a very crucial step.
When the skin of the eel is crispy, you can take it out to control the oil and set aside.
Leave the bottom oil in the pot, add the ginger, garlic paste, chili pepper and stir-fry until fragrant.
Wait for the fragrance to be stir-fried, add the fried panlong eel and stir-fry evenly.
Then there are several seasonings such as refined salt, cooking wine, and dark soy sauce.
After stir-frying again, add less water than water to cover the pot.
Simmer on low heat a little so that the fragrance can blend in.
Finally, reduce the juice on high heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Such a plate of spicy dragon eel with full color and fragrance is completed.
The kitchen was busy, and Kuroko, who had always had a keen sense of smell, also ran over at this time.
It seems that the dog master has a good mouth again today, and the coiled dragon eel made by the little master is the dog's favorite. Let's go with any chicken legs and chicken wings.
"This dog-nosed man, go out first. Don't get in the way here, or you won't have your share in a while. ”
Jiang Yihuan scolded with a smile while he was busy.
Hearing this, Kuroko immediately jumped as high as possible.
Ran out in the blink of an eye.
"This sunspot seems to be smarter. Every sentence can be understood. ”
Jiang Yihuan thought to himself.
In a short time, plates of dishes with all the colors and flavors were put on the table.
Three fresh, stir-fried pork liver, pork blood tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, steamed osmanthus fish, spicy crayfish...
Of course, the most eye-catching is of course Jiang Yihuan's specialty, spicy pan dragon eel.
Just looking at it makes people salivate.
The bursts of pungent smell of meat also made Kuroko excited, looking impatient.
Wang Hongxia beckoned everyone to take their seats.
And Xia Zhu, who was regarded as her future daughter-in-law, was unfortunate to be arranged by Jiang Yihuan's side.
The two children were so happy that they were reluctant to part for dinner. So he sat down next to Jiang Yihuan on the other side.
"It's all commonplace, don't dislike it. There are no good dishes, and the greetings are not good, and the greetings are not good..."
Wang Hongxia got up and said politely.
"Auntie, you are too polite. The dishes are all good. ”
Xia Zhu responded first.
"Yes, aunt, it's all my own family, you don't have to be so polite. ”
Lily also got up and chimed in.
"Sit down, and then you'll be polite. The dishes are cold. ”
In the end, it was Jiang Yihuan who shouted, and everyone sat down one after another.
"Yes, yes, Xiao Huan is right, eat quickly. Otherwise, it won't taste good if it's cold. ”
Hearing this, everyone stopped the politeness that made Jiang Yihuan feel sour, and began to move the chopsticks.
