Chapter 928: Food

The two walked all the way to the bitter nest, while Li Junge told Bell the story of the overlord in the legend of the Miao family.

Soon the two came to the outside of the bitter man's nest, Li Junge told Bell the story of this place again, and then said to him: "This is the place where the overlord was discovered for the first time, and it is the base camp for the black girl and the black baby to spend the winter, and the products here are extremely rich, which is enough to ensure the nutrition of the babies in the belly of the black girl." ”

The two came to the swamp behind the house, and Li Junge began to look for ingredients to prepare lunch.

Cutting down a piece of bamboo, Li Junge made a few simple cages, touched some snails and smashed them in, and began to go down to the eel cage.

Bell also learned to make one.

The cage was secured, and Li Junge began to take him to find the rest of the ingredients.

In autumn, the mountains are mainly fruits, and vegetables are not abundant enough, but the swamps in autumn are different.

Peppers, blood cabbage, mint, fish parsley, cattails......

This used to be the agricultural base of the bandits, all kinds of vegetables were available, and Li Junge also picked a pumpkin and a winter melon.

At the water's edge, there is a clump of grass like a southern ogi, but the leaves are wider and softer.

Bell saw Li Junge's appearance and asked, "This is also edible?"

Li Junge said: "This is called high bamboo shoots, which is callus white, a vegetable that tastes good. ”

After speaking, he said with a smile: "You are not too coincidental, the delicacy in the mountains, the mushrooms have just passed the season, and the winter bamboo shoots are short of the month, but with this, it can barely replace the regret of not being able to eat fresh bamboo shoots." ”

"Before the Tang Dynasty, high bamboo shoots were cultivated as food crops, and in addition to the five grains, there was also a saying that there were six grains, which referred to it, called 'mushrooms'. ”

"Its seeds are called wild rice or carved hu, and the famous 'carved hu rice' in the Tang Dynasty is made from its seeds. ”

Later, it was discovered that some mushrooms would not head because they were infected with powdery mildew, but the plants showed no signs of disease, but the stems continued to expand and gradually formed a spindle-shaped fleshy stem. ”

So our ancestors used powdery mildew to prevent the white from flowering and fruiting, propagating this diseased deformed plant, and transforming this plant from food into vegetables, which is now the tall bamboo shoot for consumption, and other places also call it the white squirt. ”

Bell nodded in approval, "It's a wisdom of life." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "This kind of wisdom is reflected in our rural people, especially rural women, everywhere and at all times. My performance on the uninhabited island was criticized by my grandmother when I came back, saying that I had made Ayin suffer, but I could have lived a better life. ”

Bell was speechless: "Then her old man's requirements are too high, she must not know how I live in the wild......"

Shuzhou high bamboo shoots are divided into two seasons in April and September, and only one or two of these clumps of cocoons have flowers, and the rest are estimated to be pregnant.

The two of them went down to the swamp and dug up a few fat stalks.

Removing the leaves, Li Junge showed the white stalks to Bell: "Look, this is the tall bamboo shoots." ”

Bell laughed, "Like ivory." ”

Li Junge shook his head: "There is another kind of ivory in the water, but I can't eat it now, I have to wait for March and April, after the young stems of the calamus grow, dig it out, and that is the ivory vegetable that is serious." ”

As the two continued on their way, a cluster of taro-like plants appeared in the swamp, but with thinner stems and pointed heart-shaped leaves.

Li Junge said: "This is the mushroom, now is also the season, let's go, let's get some." ”

"With so many vegetables, it's another big meal today, which reminds me of the feast in 'Uninhabited Island.'" ”

Li Junge smiled: "There are not so many dishes, but the taste will definitely not disappoint you." ”

The mushroom is a small, starchy bulb that can be used to do whatever a potato taro can do.

Finally, when he came to a sweet potato field, Li Junge pulled Bell to dig a lot of sweet potatoes, but he didn't eat them, but scattered them and replanted them.

I picked a lot of sweet potato seedlings.

Bell wondered, "Huh, this is a sweet potato, isn't it? Jungle, why did you plant it again?"

Li Junge said: "This is the customary rule of the mountain runners here, you see that I pick every kind of vegetable and don't take all of them." ”

"And just now, the tall bamboo shoots and mushrooms have been transplanted by seedlings, but you haven't noticed. ”

"This is to come in the mountains next year, and the yield in this field will be more abundant, and the sweet potatoes here are very small, so it's better to eat the roots than the leaves, and now is a good time to spread them out. Come back next year, and there will be a lot of sweet potato plants in this sweet potato production area. ”

Bell nodded secretly: "I kind of understand how you protect the mountains and forests, and give nature back when you ask for it, it's a virtuous circle." ”

Li Junge said: "Yes, for example, terraced fields are the best mode of maintaining water and soil, planting thousands of years of slopes, can also keep water and soil intact, rich in organic matter, soil is not compacted, and the environment is not deteriorated." Feed generations of Chinese without diminishing their strength. Looking at other civilizations, we really can't help but admire the wisdom of our ancestors. ”

In fact, there are many products in the field, such as chrysanthemum, blood-skinned cabbage, sunflower, wild leeks, and ear roots...... Li Junge thought about it and felt that they were not distinctive, and they might not suit the taste of foreigners, so he let them go.

The two of them circled around the swamp for a long time, and when they returned to the eel cage, there were already many large and small eels and loaches in it.

Return to the camp in front of the bitter man's nest and start preparing for cooking.

Li Junge cut and slice the big eel and flavored it with cooking wine and salt.

The small eel is scalded to death, and the iron pan is smeared with oil and fried into a panlong yellow eel.

While washing and peeling the loaches, put watercress, wild garlic and ginger slices in the oil pan and fry until fragrant, add water to boil, add loaches and winter melon to burn.

Here, the eel fillets are stir-fried in a pot until fragrant, and then stir-fried with water cress.

Peppermint, coriander, and chili pepper were tore up to make a dipping dish of dragon and yellow eel.

In the end, I also made a stir-fried sausage with high bamboo shoots and a stir-fried sweet potato vine, and the meal was finished.

Bell drooled while watching: "Oriental cooking is really amazing, in a blink of an eye there are five dishes, this pumpkin and ci...... Why don't you make mushrooms?"

Li Junge said: "These two things are durable, we have eaten and taken them on the road, and we will save them for the evening." ”

After speaking, beckoned Bell to sit down: "Come on, come, I'll teach you how to eat shredded eel." ”

After speaking, he picked up a coiled dragon yellow eel: "Look, first pull off the head and pull out the internal organs, if you are not afraid of bones, you can eat it." ”

"If you want to eat well, look at me. ”

After saying that, tear off the lean flesh on one side of the eel's backbone, then the other, and then the belly: "One, two, three, look, the flesh and bones are separated." ”

Bell also picked up an eel and tried it once, and then directly changed the dipping dish with Li Junge: "I'll still eat what you tore for me......"

Li Junge had a black line in his head: "When did I say that I tore it for you......"

An eel went down, and Bell patted his knees with both hands: "Delicious! absolutely delicious!"

After speaking, he said to the camera: "This eel looks similar to the food image in my previous show, but ...... But the taste is definitely different! Well, well...... There is no fishy smell like fish, only a mouth full of sweetness, well, spicy, and the coolness of mint, and the aroma of a plant similar to a nine-story pagoda...... And then there's the weird taste, no, more precisely a sense of touch, that gives your tongue and mouth a tingling sensation......"

Li Junge said with a smile: "That's Sichuan pepper, a spice that we Sichuan people can't live without." ”

Bell continued, "Well, peppercorns, this dish feels like all kinds of aromas dance on your tongue......! Okay, Jungle has already torn one for me again, so I won't say more......"

Bell exchanged the seasoning plate with Li Junge's again, and looking at Li Junge's stunned appearance, the two photographers were about to burst into laughter.

Li Junge was speechless, I really didn't tear it for you! I tore it for myself!

Stir-fried sausages with bamboo shoots and fried eel with watercress also amazed Bell, who ordered two dishes with chopsticks: "If that dish just now was a domineering man who was on a rampage, these two dishes are gentle ladies." ”

"This stir-fried sausage with bamboo shoots, if it were in Europe, would definitely be very popular, it perfectly shows the sweetness of the aquatic vegetables, and also highlights the original taste of the ingredients, a bit of French cuisine. ”

"In this dish of cress fried eel, the slight taste of wine and the taste of eel are combined, and the taste of wine forces out the sweetness of eel, which is simply wonderful. ”

"China is a country of food, and Jungle's hometown is also a province of food in this country of food, and today is really eye-opening. ”

"It is not for nothing that Jungle has won the title of magician on Uninhabited Island. ”

Li Junge laughed: "Bell, if you host a food show, it should be good." ”

Bell laughed: "Forgive me for being so excited, I feel like I should improve my cooking skills now, otherwise I won't be able to live up to the celebrity dignitaries who participated in my show......"

Li Junge said: "This is actually a pursuit of quality of life. We can be poor and hard, but we can't give up our longing and yearning for a better life. After a hard day's work, treat yourself and your family with a delicious meal, this is the attitude of our Shudu people. ”

Bell nodded: "Your optimistic state of life is very worthy of my learning and respect." ”

Li Junge also nodded: "Optimistic, funny, don't care about small things, don't compromise on big things, this is probably a local personality of the people here, I don't know how this kind of character is developed, but I personally appreciate it very much." ”

This show is like this, interspersed with some thought-provoking dialogues, which is a new style of Bell's show, but Li Junge plays the role of a mentor in this episode.

Both of them are experts in the mountains and forests, and it is not difficult to walk, and after eating, they continue on the road, and when it is almost evening, they come to the camp of the black girl.
