Chapter 260: Stir-fried snails

After looking around, the chicken didn't find an opponent to provoke, it was estimated that his own might scared away the teaser who wanted to take advantage, so he proudly led his harem to check the herbivore insects on the ground.

Recently, they were only two or three meters away from Li Junge, and because the three of them were motionless, they were not found.

After more than ten minutes, after making sure that his opponent had fled, he triumphantly led a few hens to disappear behind the grass road where he came.

Ren Weiwei jumped up excitedly: "Great!hahahaha!White-bellied golden chicken!I photographed white-bellied golden chicken!And it's so close...... Ouch!"

It turned out that his legs were numb after squatting for too long, and he fell to the side as soon as his feet were weak.

Li Junge hurriedly grabbed it, and he fell back for half a day!

Uncle Orion was very disappointed, and plucked his head and said, "It's obviously a silver chicken whistle, how did you tease the chicken out?"

Li Junge was also disappointed and said, "Alas, I hope you can tease a pheasant out and let me release an arrow." ”

Ren Weiwei was excited and excited: "Uncle Orion, Erpi, this white-bellied golden pheasant is as precious as the white pheasant!

Li Junge patted his head: "Well, I understand when you say Jinji, this thing is a second-grade in the official uniform, and its status is higher than that of the white pheasant!"

After speaking, he said to Uncle Orion: "Jing Weiwei is making such a fuss, don't think about photographing the silver chicken again today, or let's go back to cook?" ”

The three of them began to walk back, and Uncle Orion introduced Ren Weiwei: "Originally, this chicken should not be so few, mainly because everyone thinks that the chicken has the effect of stopping bleeding and detoxifying, and it can treat blood hemorrhoids and sores when stewed, plus the hairy feathers are really beautiful, which leads to more and more rarity." ”

Li Junge asked, "Can you raise it at home?"

Uncle Orion said: "As long as it is a chicken, you should be able to raise it, right? At most, you are afraid of people, as long as the place is big enough and quiet enough, you can keep it, anyway, you will become blind at night, and it is not difficult to catch." ”

Thinking about it, there are a lot of things to do in the New Year, so let's wait a little longer.

When we returned to the camp, the tents had been set up, four side by side, and the drainage ditches had been dug around them, and the uncle had boiled all the water.

Li Junge opened his super large backpack and turned out rice and bacon.

Ren Weiwei clapped his hands and smiled: "I really want to be a vegetarian, it turns out that there is still meat to eat!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "It's okay to really starve scientific researchers, but it's difficult to find green leafy vegetables in the mountains in winter." Only wild onions, wild garlic or something. ”

Si Xingzhun said: "Erpi, you will talk nonsense!

Li Junge didn't have any guesses: "Niu Dafa, Erzhun! You actually know wild vegetables! Uncle Craftsman taught you, right?"

Si Xingzhun pulled Li Junge to the side of a pair of blades of grass, and said excitedly: "Look, this is wild onion, this is wild garlic, this is ear picking, this is bloody skin vegetable, this is wild chrysanthemum, this is lotus ginger." ”

Li Junge pulled away a few other things and said: "These are easy to recognize, you can find this wild chrysanthemum and lotus ginger, and you haven't stayed in Lijiagou for half a year in vain!"

After speaking, he smiled at Ren Weiwei and said: "You have a good mouth! This ginger, onion and garlic are all ready, then you can touch some river fresh to taste!"

Ren Weiwei was also dumbfounded: "Erpi, you guys are really good here, our northeast is in this season, and the outside is bare, but you even have so many wild vegetables!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Actually, there are still some mountain treasures, but it is enough for Erzhun to make so many wild vegetables today, so let's leave it until tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he stewed the rice, carried a bag and said to Si Xingzhun, "Where did you pick the ear roots?"

Si Xingzhun said happily: "Let's go, I'll take you there, do you still want to pick?"

Li Junge smiled: "You only saw the vegetarian one, go, I'll take you to get some meat!"

Coming to the stream, Li Junge began to walk downstream along the mountain stream.

Si Xingzhun was surprised: "Huh, how do you know that the root of the folded ear is downstream?"

Li Junge said with a smile: "There are two kinds of folded ear roots, one is grown in the soil, the kind of leaves are very large, basically green, and the other is smaller, the leaves are lighter green, the back is more red, and the roots are very tender. ”

Si Xingzhun asked, "Then why don't you go upstream?"

Li Junge said: "Just look at this water, this water is still very clear, which means that there is very little organic matter in the water, and the water after passing through the mire should be greener than this, so it can be judged that the mire is downstream." ”

Si Xingzhun said: "Well, okay, I was blinded by you. ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "What's wrong, this is the valuable experience of the mountain runners, okay!"

After walking a short distance, you can see that the stream becomes opener, and on the right side of the downhill of the stream, there is a large bay, and the mud from the surrounding mountains has been washed down by the rain and accumulated here, forming a mud swamp.

Li Junge said: "I like to encounter this kind of place in the mountains the most, and when I encounter it, I don't have to worry about eating and drinking!"

Si Xingzhun said: "When I picked the root of the ear, I found that there are a lot of snails in the water here, and they are very large, I don't know if I can eat them?"

Li Junge smiled: "Why can't you eat it! The taste should not be too good!"

Si Xingzhun still hesitated: "But I heard that Datian snails can't be eaten......"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Snails are edible regardless of size, the kind of big snail you are talking about is the Fushou snail, which is an invasive alien species, the Fushou snail shell is brittle and the tentacles are very long, the snail shell is thick and the tentacles are shorter; However, it is difficult to have large snails, so it is better not to eat the big snails you said, and there is a certain reason. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the mud pond: "But these snails are exceptional!"

Then Li Junge said: "I can't eat it because there are rumors that there is a parasite in Fushou snails, but in fact, all snails, including field snails, are the hosts of parasites, and there is more than one kind of parasite." Therefore, the key is the processing method, if you don't get it cooked thoroughly, there must be a problem with eating, and the small snail is easier to cook than the big snail, so this pot can only be carried by the big snail. ”

There are countless snails in the swamp, and His Excellency Li Jun went to the quagmire, and after a while, he touched a lot of them.

Then he found twenty or thirty eels at the water's edge.

These eels are much smaller than those in the terraced fields of the mountain behind Lijiagou, which may also be due to the colder mountain on the mountain.

Li Junge said: "Okay, it's almost, let's go back." ”

Si Xingzhun was addicted to picking up snail eels, and said, "Do you want to do it again?"

Li Junge said: "This water is too cold, there are dozens of them today, if you want to have a bumper harvest, you have to rely on Uncle Craftsman, it is estimated that he is already working now." ”

The two went all the way back to the camp, the meal had already been cooked, and they were waiting for Li Junge to cook.

Running mountain people have two meals a day, and when they are hungry in the middle, they generally use potatoes and sweet potatoes to top a top, mainly after breakfast, they will have a lot of activities, and the blood mainly supplies the circulatory system, and the hunger comes slowly, but eating lunch is not conducive to the exercise in the afternoon.

It was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and Li Junge began to cook.

This meal is very simple, because the eels are still raised in woven bags and thrown into the stream, and the snails are also put in a basin, soaked in some water and lettuce oil, and they have to wait until they spit out all the sediment.

Therefore, this meal is white rice, wild garlic leaves with rods cut into horse ear slices and fried bacon, stir-fried chrysanthemum, wild garlic head patted and fried bloody cabbage, wild onion cold salad folded ear root.

is just a few things, and Ren Weiwei and Si Xingzhun have already eaten without seeing each other.

Uncle Orion was also very satisfied, and said to Uncle Smith: "From this year onwards, I will take Piwa into the mountain, and I will come to enjoy the blessings." ”

Li Junge said: "Where is this, wait for dinner, and then make a pot of fried snails, everyone roast the fire, while smacking the snails, and then have a little wine to faint, then you are comfortable!"

After eating, Uncle Orion went to wash up, and Li Junge took Ren Weiwei and Si Xingzhun to knock on the snails.

The snail had basically spit out the sediment, Li Junge picked out a moderate size, knocked off the top of the snail with a small stone with the two of them, and then washed it again.

Bring the snail back, put oil in the pot, and then start to add watercress, marinade, five-spice powder, Sichuan pepper, chili pepper and stir-fry, fry until the aroma is fragrant and pour in the snail, stir-fry a few times, add water, some white wine, two teaspoons of sugar, add wild onion, wild garlic, chopped lotus ginger, and start to cover the lid and gurgle.

On the other side, add water to a pot and start boiling the mash water, and by the way, bake some potatoes and sweet potatoes by the fire.

Uncle Craftsman had already cut down two bamboos, cut out a lot of bamboo threads, and began to weave bamboo cages one by one foot square.

The bamboo cage has a lid, the lid is hollow, and the mouth is a circle of sharpened bamboo thorns, which are neatly arranged and stretch out to the inside of the cage, forming a funnel.

Uncle Smith doesn't even need to look at the cage, he keeps chatting with a few small people in his hands.

Ren Weiwei and Si Xingzhun were both so fragrant that they couldn't talk about it, so they asked once, "Okay?"

After snorting for about half an hour, Li Junge opened the lid, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Picking off the wild onion and putting the wild garlic, Li Junge began to turn the pot, and only after turning it over to more than half of the juice did he remove the open flame, put the pot on it and heat it, and shouted: "Uncle Orion, Uncle Craftsman, eat snails!"

Uncle Craftsman came over with a small bamboo tube with a thin bamboo stick, and took the stainless steel cup handed over by Uncle Orion with a smile, which was the old soaking wine that Uncle Orion had to go up the mountain.

A few small ones drank mash water, Si Xingzhun picked up a snail and said, "This head is much bigger than what Shudu sells!"

Take a skewer and pick open the lid of the snail, pick out the meat, put it in your mouth and chew it, close your eyes and say intoxicatedly: "This taste, I won't change it for a fairy......"

Li Junge laughed: "I also want to take a sip of the soup left in the shell, it tastes even more beautiful." ”

Ren Weiwei tried to take a sip, squinting his eyes and nodding.

Li Junge lifted the mash water and said, "Come, on behalf of the mountain god Grandpa, welcome scientific research workers and literary and artistic workers." ”

Ren Weiwei said: "Hahaha, I used to think that working in the field was so hard, but it turned out to be so fun, there was food and drink, and it was all so delicious!"
