Chapter Twenty-Eight: White Meat with Garlic

Wang Xiaobai and Li Yunqiu jumped to their feet happily: "Oh! You can buy ice cream and eat it!"

Wang Xiaosong slapped one person on the head and said, "Be careful, these little loaches are also embarrassed to ask Uncle Erpi for money!"

After speaking, he handed the basket to Li Junge and said, "Come, Uncle Erpi, we will give it to you if we grab it and play with it." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "Xiao Song really looks like a brother! It's good! But this little loach is really useful to your second uncle, and you can't take it for nothing." After speaking, he took out twenty yuan and gave it to Wang Xiaosong, and said, "Come, take it and go to Uncle Ermao to buy ice cream to eat, but one person can only eat one, and the rest of the money will be stored in Uncle Ermao, don't let your grandparents know." ”

Wang Xiaosong smiled embarrassedly and said, "Then we will use the dog's tail grass to put the loach on for you." ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "That's not good, Uncle Erpi wants to live, in this way, give me the basket together, you wash your hands and go to the small supermarket, come to my house tomorrow to pick up the basket." By the way, Uncle Erpi caught a litter of little wild boars, and you will come to see the pig baby play tomorrow, as well as this litter of puppies. ”

The three babies jumped up happily again and shouted, "Uncle Erpi, you are so good! ”

waved goodbye to the three children, and walked forward for a while, Li Junge suddenly reacted, turned around and shouted: "Three Piwa! Didn't you just say that your homework was finished?!"

The three children laughed and ran away.

Liang Huili looked at the backs of the three children and said with a smile: "It's better to be in the countryside, I liked to play in Lijiagou when I was a child, and you took me like this at that time." ”

Li Junge said: "As a child, the countryside is really good, but now the children in the city are under too much pressure, where can they have time to have fun like us." ”

Several people sighed for a while and returned home.

When he arrived at home, Li Junge put eight puppies into the pigsty of raising wild boar babies, and then thought that it was time to feed the pigs, so he took out the food basin in the pigsty, went to the house to fill a small half pot of feed, and secretly used space water to soak it into a feed paste, and brought it to the pigs and dogs.

Liang Huili and the three of them were watching strangely there, and Wang Congjun said: "Erpi, wild boars and hunting dogs are rivals, can you put them together?"

Li Junge said: "Now I will do this first, mainly because I am afraid that the puppies will run around, and I will take them out when they are sensible." ”

Putting the bowl into the pigsty, the piglets immediately stopped playing and went straight to the bowl.

The sturdy one of the puppies seemed to smell something, and he pulled out of the fight with his brothers and sisters, ran to the food bowl, sniffed it carefully, seemed to feel good, and licked it twice.

Well, it's really delicious, so Yo You screamed twice and beckoned the brothers and sisters to come over.

The other seven puppies came running over with a snort, and when they found that this thing was really good, they immediately squeezed it to the side of the basin, and after a few clicks, they formed a circle around the basin and licked it.

The little piglets were confused, how could they eat and eat, and there was a bunch of white butts in front of them? Where did the food go? No matter how hard they squeezed in, they couldn't squeeze in.

Li Junge had no choice but to prepare another pot of paste and open another table for the little piglets.

After finishing these, Liang Huili and the three of them were there to tease the pigs and dogs, and Li Junge came out to prepare dinner by himself.

After washing and scrubbing the stone mill at home, Li Junge cut the corn kernels with a knife and grinded them into corn paste.

Add some sugar to the corn paste and mix well with a spoon.

Take out the large steamer, tear off a piece of the corn husk you just peeled, scoop a spoonful of corn paste into it, wrap it, and put it in the steamer.

After wrapping the corn paste and putting it in, Li Junge boiled a pot of boiling water, let the corn baba steam on the pot, and then wanted to eat something at night.

After running outside for a long time, he simply made something refreshing, and Li Junge cooked another pot of mung bean porridge.

Rummaging through the freezer and picking out a piece of two-pound two-knife meat, Li Junge was going to make a garlic white meat.

Erdao meat is also called sitting plate meat, sitting buttocks meat with skin, and it is the first choice for making garlic white meat and returning to the pot meat. This part was chosen for one purpose: the flesh is strong, elastic, crisp and tender after cooking, and the mouth melts into slag.

You can't use wild boar meat for this, wild boar meat has a fishy smell, and the white meat with garlic is easy to eat. Li Junge chose the remaining piece of pig slaughter during the New Year.

Put cold water into the pot, add green onions, ginger, salt, peppercorns, and cooking wine to start cooking pork.

On the other side, Li Junge began to peel the garlic, cut the ginger, and put it in a stone mortar and pounded it into ginger and garlic.

Pour out the garlic puree, add some cool boiled water, and make ginger and garlic water.

Take out a basin and pour in sugar, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, Sichuan pepper powder, Sichuan pepper oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, chili oil, and salt to make a sweet and sour sauce.

Skim off the oil slick from the noon chicken broth and scoop out a scoop of chicken broth and add to the sweet and sour sauce.

When the meat is cooked until it is ripe and the chopsticks are just enough to penetrate, pour the meat and soup into another basin and let it cool.

In the middle, Liang Huili and the three of them came in, and one of them fished out a corn poop and sat under the eaves and gnawed.

After a while, my parents also came back and said angrily: "How embarrassing it is to give this food to the guests." ”

The three of them were so hungry that they nodded again and again and said, "This is very good, it tastes very good." ”

Li Junge showed a head from the kitchen and shouted: "Take it easy, don't wait until the garlic and white meat are ready, there will be no stomach!"

After the meat cooled, Li Junge took out the big kitchen knife at home and began to slice the meat.

Place the meat on a cutting board and trim the excess corners first.

Then press the meat firmly with your left hand and pull the knife with your right hand from one end.

The so-called "shovel shavings" of the knife method pays attention to "the knife is stable, not light or heavy, impartial, the knife turns with the person, and the knife enters the flesh." Finally, the two fingers of the left hand flicked and pushed, and the meat slices curled up in the white porcelain plate as lightly as woodworking shavings.

The skin, fat, and lean meat are connected in three pieces, which are smooth and transparent.

After slicing the meat, Li Junge threw two more cucumbers into the meat basin, and then poured the pre-prepared sweet and sour sauce and ginger and garlic juice into the basin, sprinkled with chopped green onions and celery, stirred evenly and served.

The custom of Lijiagou is that dinner is simpler than lunch, in fact, this is more in line with dietary science.

Another loofah vine was fried, and the host and guests sat down together and began to eat.

The garlic and white meat are eaten with corn baba and corn porridge, which is sweet and sour, fragrant but not greasy.

Liang Huili and the three of them ate again and again.

After eating and resting for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, Li Junge turned out a bundle of bamboo poles from under his bed, about two meters long, the thickness of his index finger, almost one or twenty, and said to the three of them: "Let's go, go to the river and make a bend." ”

The three of them all said yes, Li Junge took out a flashlight for each of them, said that they could use it when they came back, and then went to get the loach basket that they brought back in the afternoon, and the four of them said goodbye to their parents and grandmother.

The sun is starting to set, the sky is fiery red, grass insects and frogs are starting to come alive, and there are insects and frogs everywhere.

The flowers begin to exhale their fragrance, and the air is filled with the fragrance of various flowers.

Liang Huili took a deep breath of fresh air and said with enjoyment: "The smell of the air here is really good. ”

Li Junge discerned the scent of flowers in the air as he walked, and now his five senses were very keen, and he could recognize the smell of honeysuckle, jasmine, Milan, yellow cypress orchid, and many wild flowers that he could not name.

When walking through the wheat winter bushes under a forest, Li Junge said to the three of them: "Remember here, there will be surprises here later!"

When the three of them heard this, they followed Li Junge and began to go downhill, along the stone road to the Wuxi River.

There is a small dirt path by the river, and I walk along the water's edge, through a bamboo forest, and I come to a place.

Bamboo leaves touch the surface of the river, and the surrounding area is quiet, and the river reflects the bright red brilliance of the sunset, giving the four people a faint layer of gold edges.

All around is the chirping of homing birds.

"Oh my God, it's so beautiful here!" Liang Huili shouted softly.

There are some gravels of various sizes at the water's edge, and clumps of thatch grow a few meters apart.

Li Junge stood next to a clump of thatch and pulled out a bamboo pole, only to find that each bamboo pole was connected to a two-meter-long thread, and a hook was tied to one end of the thread.

"Erpi, what is this for?" asked Zhu Chao'an very curiously.

"Whether you can add another dish tomorrow depends on tonight. Li Junge replied as he took out a small loach from the fish basket, hung its tail on a hook, threw it into the water, and then firmly stuck the bamboo pole on the shore.

The loach was suspended in the water by the bamboo pole, but it only sank ten centimeters below the surface of the water, and it struggled hard to drill down, but it was led by the bamboo pole, and could only swing slightly with the bamboo pole.

The four of them walked forward for about two or three hundred meters, and at intervals, Li Junge inserted a pole like this.

When the loaches ran out, the four of them enjoyed the sunset by the river again and began to walk back.

Halfway through, it started to get dark, and the four turned on their flashlights and moved on.

After walking for a while, the four of them walked to the boundary of the wheat winter grass just now, and Li Junge told everyone to extinguish the flashlight, don't make a sound, and just stand quietly.

Not long after, a bright light flashed in the grass.

Then, one, two, three...... More and more bright lights flickered and flickered, gradually joining together, spreading like a distance.

Li Junge heard the breathing of the three people behind him start to shorten. She could feel that Liang Huili began to pull the corners of his clothes again, and her little hands were trembling slightly.

The light was still moving, and it was a field of fireflies.

Everyone quietly admired for more than ten minutes, and Li Junge said softly: "How is it?

"Whew!" the three of them didn't dare to take a breath just now, and now they breathed a sigh.

The four of them turned the flashlights back on one after another, and the fireflies were disturbed, and some of them hid, no longer as shocked as they were just now.

Liang Huili was so excited that her voice trembled, and said, "It's so beautiful, it's so shocking, I actually saw a sea of fireflies!"

The most excited is Zhu Chao'an. The first thing that came to mind was his girlfriend, and he pulled Li Junge and said, "Erpi Erpi, how long can this scene last?

Wang Congjun held his forehead and said, "Pig worm, can you not be so cowardly!"

He turned his head and said to Li Junge: "Erpi, why don't you bring my girlfriend over next time?"
