Chapter 45: Mountain Delicacies
Bai Yiyi said: "I seem to have seen this plant in some ancient books before, but I can't remember it for a while, and it is still a seedling and I can't see other characteristics, but it is certainly not an ordinary plant." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Qian Shi said: "Yes, it seems that this is really a not simple ingredient seedling, and I don't know what will grow in the future." ā
The two of them waited for a while, but the seedling did not change at all, and the branches and leaves were still gently swaying with the breeze, which added a lot of life to this small courtyard, and it was more like a beautiful scenery.
"We can come here regularly in the future to check it out, it's also a great place to grow, and we can grow some other ingredients here," Bai said. With that, Bai Yiyi squatted down, brushed away some dirt, and then took some seeds from his body and buried them.
Qian Shi asked curiously, "Yiyi, what kind of seed is this?"
Bai Yiyi smiled lightly: "This is not an ingredient, it is some herb-like plants, but it can be made into a condiment for food, and it can also be used to make a soup for medicinal food." ā
"Looks like we're going to need to take good care of this place, and bring in some water first. Qian Shi also looked at these things with great interest, he wanted to repair this small yard well, with that strange seedling, as well as Bai Yiyi's medicinal herbs and the blue herbs he had planted before, it really became a small vegetable garden.
Now the two of them were busy together, Qian Shi expanded the small yard, and threw out a small ditch, through the bamboo tube can water all kinds of plants in the yard for irrigation, Bai Yiyi commanded Qian Shi while planting some edible vegetables, what is distributed in each piece of land, she has made it very organized, the two of them have been getting it until close to evening, and this place has become a new look, but it is a bit like a paradise.
In order to catch some dinner ingredients, Qian Shi also set up a small trap in the forest, and fished up some grass carp and shrimp and crab in the river, although they are all ordinary ingredients in the mountains and forests, but fortunately they are fresh, and the fish and shrimp are also growing very fat in this natural environment, and Qian Shi is surprised that the trap he set actually caught a tiger hare, which is a good game.
Under Bai Yiyi's gaze, Qian Shi was very proud, and started a fire in front of the wooden house, first built a barbecue grill with some thick bamboo strips, and then cleaned up the tiger striped hare, smeared it with various spices he carried, and then began to roast slowly over low heat, not letting the flames directly roast the rabbit meat, but using temperature and smoke to complete this delicious dish, and brushing some olive oil on the skin from time to time to make the meat more delicate.
At the same time of roasting rabbit meat, Qian Shi also made two other dishes, cut some larger bamboos, made bamboo tubes, and then put the processed fresh river fish into them, stuffed them on both sides of the fire, and began to stew the fish soup, with the high water temperature, Qian Shi cut some fresh and tender bamboo shoots into the soup, and made some blue herbs to taste, with the bamboo tube container, this fish soup is really fragrant and attractive!
Bai Yiyi looked at Qian Shi's coherent movements, the kitchen knife was flying, the bamboo was like an almighty kitchenware in his hands, changing different forms, and the ingredients had become truly delicious, she was dumbfounded, and she couldn't intervene at all, looking at Qian Shi and envious: "Well, it's so fragrant, Qian Shi, you are really amazing, you can make these things into a variety of delicacies, but I have never made these in the wild, how did you do it." ā
Qian Shi's hand didn't stop, and he smiled and said: "I grew up in the mountains and forests since I was a child, and I am used to surviving outside, and I am a chef, so of course I am pediatrics for these." ā
Bai Yiyi held his knees, looked at the burning flames and sighed, "You are really free, if only I could be like you." ā
Qian Shi's eyes darkened: "Speaking of which, I envy you, before I arrived at the Drunken Immortal Building, I had never had a stable place, eh, don't talk about this, isn't it good that we are all in the Drunken Immortal Building now." ā
Bai Yiyi smiled: "Yes." ā
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, both of them silently did not speak, as if they were recalling their past, it was getting late, and the firelight reflected the faces of the two people, maybe they also sensed what each other thought.
The fish soup began to bubble, the fragrance was overflowing, and the rabbit meat began to become crispy, Bai Yiyi rushed to Qian Shi's side: "How is it, our chef, is there anything you need my help with now?" ā
Qian Shi said: "Haha, didn't you say okay, I'm here to entertain you today, but there is really a delicious dish that I need you to do me a little favor." ā
Bai Yiyi's eyes immediately lit up: "Hey, yes, what does that need me to do." ā
Qian Shi said: "Well, Yiyi, you go to the river and find a larger, clean, flat-shaped river stone." ā
Bai Yiyi was a little puzzled: "What do you want that kind of thing for?"
Qian Shi smiled mysteriously: "You'll know in a while!"
Bai Yiyi felt novel, and soon found a river stone with a flat surface, with some shallow patterns on it, and handed it to Qian Shi and looked at him seriously, looking forward to his next move.
When Qian Shi saw her like this, he naturally stopped selling Guan Zi, and said, "Next is our last delicacy tonight, slate barbecue!"
Qian Shi twisted the shelves at both ends of the rabbit meat hard, and let it rotate quickly, every part of the rabbit meat was evenly and quickly roasted at the end, and the rotation drove the wind, which made the fire bigger, and at the same time, Qian Shi also put the stone slab in the place where the fire was most vigorous.
While heating the slate, Qian Shi cut some bamboo into slender bamboo sticks, and then spread the river shrimp he had caught before in the palm of his hand, grabbed several bamboo sticks with his other hand, and flicked them all quickly, neatly wearing them on top of the ingredients, turning into strings of river shrimp!
At the same time as doing this, the slate was almost heated, and kept smoking outward, Qian Shi first poured some oil on it, and then sprinkled it with cut blue herbs, and quickly put all the skewered river shrimp on it while taking advantage of this temperature, "Zizizi" suddenly a special fragrance came out, and the river shrimp were also roasted on the hot stone slab!
Holding a bamboo skewer in his hand, let these river shrimp stick tightly on it, with one hand shock, the river shrimp skewers are turned up again, the shrimp all turn red, the fragrance of the shrimp is wafting around, sprinkled with various seasonings, peppers, etc., and roasted back and forth several times, the delicious slate river shrimp is ready, and the fish soup and barbecue rabbit meat are also just made!
