Chapter 528: The Feast
Chapter 528: The Feast
I woke up early the next morning, and it was the last day.
Li Junge went to fetch water first, then brought back all the fish, and picked some lotus root and cress by the way.
Ayin went to the beach to collect shrimp and strange crabs, and Li Junge began to deal with bamboo rats.
The taro is boiled, the bamboo rat is scalded, shaved and burned, washed and cut into pieces, and the leftovers of the head and ribs are thrown into the soup pot to hang the soup.
Then I started to punch holes in the bamboo tubes and put on bamboo nails to make a large round tabletop.
The table top is put together, the square table is moved and placed on it, the outer ring is wrapped in a bamboo skin, the joints are tied with hemp rope, and the resin is roughly dotted around.
The bamboo tube and the bamboo tube are uneven, Li Junge brought a bucket of dry sand to fill in and scrape it, which not only gets a plane, but also increases the weight of the tabletop and makes it more stable.
But it looks very bad, but this is not difficult for Li Junge, the linen towel used for sleeping is useless now, and it is used to spread it, and a decent banquet table will be done.
Then add chopped fresh green onions to the pork porridge and start to wrap the pork porridge.
After the taro is cooked, take out the pig's trotters that have been boiled softly, remove the bones and spread them to the bottom of the bowl, put the taro on top, add salt and pour the broth, and steam it together with the pig's poop.
Then put the garlic meat on a plate, the bloody cabbage mixed with coriander on a plate, the boiled sea cabbage on a plate, take a large bowl to prepare sweet and sour sauce, and then pour it on it to be three cold vegetables.
Now there are four fire eyes, one boils broth, one steam steamer, and the remaining two, one Li Junge starts to fry catfish, and one starts to fry bamboo rat meat.
Both sides are carried out at the same time, the catfish is fried and the pot is started, the bamboo rat meat is fried with ginger and garlic until golden brown, then water, bay leaves, and star anise are added to start yellow stew.
It was only at this time that Li Junge took the time to go to the Houshan bamboo forest to dig giant bamboo shoots.
After so many things were done, it was only nine o'clock in the morning, and the bamboo forest still carried the humidity of last night and the fragrance of some wildflowers.
There are bamboo poles in several places where there are bamboo shoots, and Li Junge found one that has not yet come out and dug out the bamboo shoots.
When I returned home with bamboo shoots like cannonballs, I saw that the guests had come, and Ayin was surrounded in the middle and asked this and that, and everyone's eyes were full of endless curiosity, surprise and admiration.
Ah Yin beckoned when he saw Li Junge: "Erpi, we met halfway, so we came over together." Come, let me introduce you to the three hosts. β
Li Junge threw the big bamboo shoot to his feet, ran over in three steps and two steps, grabbed the hand of the man in the middle and didn't let go: "Bei Ye, why are you here! You are my idol!"
Bell hurriedly shook his head: "Don't don't, don't, Jungle, you're my idol! My show is survival in the wilderness, you and Ingris, this is rebuilding civilization!"
Nian leaned his head over: "Jungle! My name is Nian, and I am the host of Thailand Channel 3, thank you very much! According to the survey of the program team, among the audience friends who have watched this program, 73% of them are willing to travel to the desert island, and they are extremely curious and shocked by everyone, especially the lifestyle shown by you and Ingris in the program, especially some parents with children, who think that we are a very educational program. β
Li Junge said with a smile: "This is actually a traditional farming civilization way of life, which lasted for the longest and longest time in our country, until the nineties, in some remote mountainous areas, you can still see this kind of life, and Ingris and I happened to grow up in such a village, so we are more familiar." β
Tanya of the South African team was holding Ayin's hand and talking cordially, and when she heard this, she raised her head and said: "Jungle, before I went to the island, I thought Danny and I had a better life, because I had the experience of living in the wild with my elders since I was a child, and everything you have here really shocked me! You even made porcelain! This is simply a miracle!"
Sally also smiled, "I heard that you have also opened a vegetable garden, raised fish, raised bees, and raised quails...... Wait, this tablecloth is woven by Ingris? oh my God!"
At this time, Ayin took the machete, three bows and matching arrows, put them on the table for everyone to see, and then went to make tea for everyone, and serve fruits and biscuits.
Laura picked up a cookie and put it in her mouth, tears coming out: "It's been fifty days, and I've finally eaten the real cookie, which is definitely a soda biscuit fermented with yeast and baking soda, with dried fruit, desiccated coconut, and honey!
Ayin laughed, "The yeast is extracted from a fruit that has an alcoholic taste, ah, that's it." In addition, we have baking soda and baking soda, which is a bit more complicated, and we need to let Jungle explain it to you. β
Li Junge gave a general explanation of the preparation process of extracting salt from seawater and obtaining various auxiliary chemicals, and said: "There are still a few hard dishes that I have to go to the stove, it seems that you don't eat very well on the island, today we have a banquet in our hometown, everyone has a good meal!"
When everyone had eaten some biscuits and fruits and cushioned the bottom, Ayin began to lead everyone to visit the front and back of the house, explaining how to make each thing, referring to the root and actual function.
Naturally, it attracted a burst of surprise and admiration.
Li Junge cut the tips of the giant bamboo shoots into pieces and boiled them in salted water, and then simmered them with the bamboo rats.
After smearing the gillo fish and the military fish with salt and flavoring them with ginger, shallots, garlic, and sake lees, Li Junge began to fry the skin shrimp on another fire eye.
Wait until the bamboo rat bamboo shoots are stewed, put them into the blue color bucket bowl, and the pipi shrimp is also fried.
Then wash the pot and fry the cassava pieces that Ayin had brought back. Start cooking the garlic grilled catfish with ginger, shallots and garlic in chili sauce.
The cassava cubes are fried, add to the roasted catfish and continue cooking, re-fry the prawns, and coat them with salt and pepper.
The catfish was poured out of the pot into a blue color bucket bowl, sprinkled with green onions with the bamboo rat stewed winter bamboo shoots, and Li Junge shouted to Ayin, who was leading everyone to shoot arrows and play: "Ayin, tell everyone to wash their hands and start eating!"
While steaming the gillo and military fish, start stir-frying the toppings of the chopped pepper fish with ginger, chili, minced garlic, chopped green onion, jam, sake lees and salt.
Wait until everyone is seated, Ayin sets up the dishes and chopsticks, pours the garlic white meat, sea cabbage, and blood cabbage with coriander, and serves it together with fried taro stalks, cold bamboo shoots, and cured meat.
Then I distributed bamboo cups to everyone, brought the fruit wine jar under the eaves, mixed some honey water, and filled it for everyone.
Li Junge's steamed gilo fish and chopped pepper fish were also out of the cage, and the chopped pepper fish was topped, and Li Junge brought these two dishes to everyone along with the salt-and-pepper skin shrimp.
Then open the steamer, take out the cuttlefish button chicken, sour bamboo shoots button duck, braised hooves, taro roasted pig's trotters, take the blue color bucket bowl buckle on the bowl and turn it over, pour the soup stock with the good taste, and bring it over a bowl of bowls.
Every time a dish is served, a circle of foreigners can't help but let out a "wow".
All kinds of dishes, although now only the sense of smell and visual experience, but has been colorful, beautiful shape, exquisite utensils, placed in the big hotel is not a loss of hotel identity.
Bell hurriedly beckoned Li Junge to sit down together, Li Junge picked up the wine glass, and smiled at everyone: "A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, thank you for this show, give us a rare holiday, a beautiful fate, I believe that all the teammates who participated in the competition, like me and Ayin, have experienced the sweetness and preciousness of feelings, come, let us hold up the wine glass, pay tribute to this show, and bless ourselves!"
These words went to everyone's hearts, and sure enough, everyone raised their glasses: "Well said!
After a glass of wine, everyone laughed, and the Argentine Passarella was a good wine in his own right, patting his thigh and shouting, "Good wine! Ingris, you must tell me how to make this wine!"
Ayin smiled: "The method is very simple, the key is to have such an altar." β
Putting down the cup, Li Junge put his hand on Ayin's shoulder and said, "Let's eat and chat first, I'll get two more hard dishes over there, and then I'll come over to accompany you." β
After returning to the stove, the coconut milk is boiled first, and then the crab is washed and peeled.
Dig out all the crab meat, pour out a part of the boiled coconut milk and leave it for Ayin to use for pearl dew later, and then chop the strange crab meat and put it in to cook.
In another pot, start sautΓ©ing the meat with salt with the remaining pork belly.
There is no tempeh, no bean paste, but the fermented chili sauce is also delicious, add a little honey sweetness to enhance the freshness, sprinkle with wild garlic sprout ear slices and turn a few times to get out of the pot.
On the other side, the crab meat is cooked, add a little salt to taste, sprinkle with some diced cabbage, pour a bowl of thin tapioca flour water into the soup, put it into the bucket bowl, and the coconut milk monster crab soup is completed.
After these two dishes were brought to the table, Li Junge sat down to chat with everyone, and couldn't stop persuading everyone to drink.
Lu En said to Li Junge: "Jungle, I am Lu En, the host of the BBC Documentary Channel. This cup to you, your trip to the desert island not only solves the problem of survival, but also shows us a rich variety of Chinese skills, poetry, music, and food. And behind all of this, there is a long history and a brilliant culture that has benefited us all. I must say that your country is a great nation, and your nation is also a great nation. β
Li Junge raised the wine glass: "Thank you very much for your praise of our country, it is a hospitable country, these things I show are just the tip of the iceberg, all my experience is from the teachings of the elders in the village, many of them are the inheritors of the national intangible cultural heritage, their skills, that is so wonderful, I am just scratching the surface." β
Luan was visibly surprised: "Really? That's amazing......
Li Junge said with a smile: "I don't brag about this at all, by the way, our village has its own website, some intangible cultural heritage inheritors' skills, we have made a documentary, if you are interested, I can tell you the website, you can visit and watch." β
He raised his glass and said, "Come on, come on, I'll toast you again...... Huh, why are the girls so red-eyed?"
Lu En smiled: "The main thing is that the food you cook is so touching, especially after fifty days on the desert island, the girls ......"
Passarella laughed and said, "Jungle, thank you for this banquet. It made up for some of the guilt we felt about our other half!"
Laura smiled: "Before I went to the island, I thought that a full barbecue would be a great way to feast guests, I used to ignorantly think that Chinese cuisine only had fried rice and kung pao chicken, but it turned out that just on a desert island, you can make so many tricks!"
Lune was so excited that he couldn't help but be excited: "This dish alone has elevated this feast to the top! Not to mention other dazzling and exquisite dishes! Bell, have you tasted the fruity flavor of the fish? The name of the Emperor of Freshwater is not nonsense, right?"
