Chapter 30 Stewed bamboo rat with dried soybean shoots

handed the basket to Uncle Craftsman, who looked inside and said, "Yo, yes, this must be more than ten pounds!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "There is a guarantee at noon, now let's see if I can add another dish." ”

Uncle Smith smiled: "Hurry up and take a look, I don't know where your set is, otherwise I would have gone earlier." ”

Li Junge handed him 1573 again and said, "This wine was given to you by the pig worm, thank you for the bird cage you gave yesterday." ”

Uncle Smith said, "Oh, this is good wine, eldest nephew, you are so polite." Why don't we drink it at noon today? ”

Li Junge said: "Don't, this is a special filial piety to you, they like to drink the soaking wine in the township, we will drink the loquat wine you brewed at noon." ”

Uncle Craftsman said: "Then go to the back mountain to have a look, and come back early to cook, I can only eat and not cook." You've got to get on the stove. ”

Li Junge agreed, found a big thin-eyed cage, and the four of them hurriedly walked to the back mountain bamboo forest.

Leave it alone when the catfish basket is left on the ground, because the fish can live for a long time out of the water, and often go ashore in the middle of the night to catch insects to eat.

When he came to the back mountain, Li Junge began to check the sleeves one by one.

Several bamboo poles with sleeves tied around have been bounced.

Li Junge pointed to the three people in the distance and whispered: "See, those covers have been bounced up, don't talk, take your steps lightly, and follow me." By the way, don't try to catch the bamboo rat, I'll have to do this, that guy bites a lot. ”

Gently walked over to a bouncing bamboo pole and found that the rope of the sleeve had been dragged into a bush. Squatted down and looked carefully into the bushes, where a fat little creature was hiding.

The guy wrapped himself around a bush and circled it firmly.

In this case, it is easy to catch, and the fat animal has already made itself immobile.

Li Junge walked over, grabbed its neck with his hand, and took off the sleeve on its body, the sleeve was a slipknot, the more it struggled, the tighter it became, but it was easy to take it off after relaxing.

Li Junge showed this guy to the three of them and said, "I caught one." ”

From the moment this guy was caught, he showed his sharp and thick front teeth, made a "whew-whew-" sound of demonstration, and his little short legs were still struggling one by one.

This is a bamboo rat, almost more than 30 centimeters long, more than four catties, brown and gray fur, round body, cylindrical. The head is blunt, chubby, with bulging cheeks, very muscular, a large mouth, small eyes, and ears hidden in the coat and barely visible. At first glance, it looks a bit like a small-eyed rabbit with no ears.

"Hahaha, this thing looks so fat, it looks like a pig worm. Wang Congjun was joking there.

"Get away!" Zhu Chaoan scolded as he opened the cage and put the bamboo rat in Li Junge's hand.

Li Junge also smiled and said, "The main reason for this thing is that the hair is thick, but in fact, the body is not very big. ”

After walking a little further, there was another bamboo rat hiding in the grass. Li Junge stepped forward and grabbed it.

This bamboo rat is also big, and when Li Junge reached over, he turned his head and almost bit him.

"Yo! it's still troublesome!" Li Junge hurriedly retracted his hand, and then stretched forward again, jamming the neck of the big bamboo rat.

"This one is quite big, a lap bigger than the one just now. Liang Huili clapped her hands and said.

The four of them received four bamboo rats from the sleeve one after another, one of which was too small to be more than a catty, Li Junge put it away, and said with a smile: "Go, continue to plague Uncle Craftsman's forest!"

Put all the covers away, and the four of them happily descended the mountain.

When Uncle Craftsman saw a few little guys in the cage, he laughed and said, "This thing is a scourge to me, and it has ruined the bamboo." ”

Li Junge carried the bamboo rat and the catfish to the back of the house, and said to Uncle Craftsman: "I see that you have a little too many bamboo rats in the back, and there is half a chance that you will be half of the ten sets of bamboo rats." ”

Uncle Craftsman smiled and said, "Then if you have nothing to do, come and catch two, and we will fight the tooth sacrifice." ”

After coming to the house, he left a big bamboo rat and a catfish of more than two catties for Uncle Orion, and Li Junge was ready to finish the work in one meal.

First, wash the catfish and cut it into sections.

Then bleed the bamboo rat, threw it in a pot of water and scalded it for a while, and took it out to remove its hair.

After shedding its coarse hair, the bamboo rat appears to be half as small as it was when it was alive.

Then start to burn the grain grass, burn off the fine hairs on the bamboo rat, and burn until the skin begins to turn yellow, and the smell of meat comes out, and then put it in clean water to scrape and wash.

After scraping and washing, cut the bamboo rat, remove the internal organs, cut it into small pieces and put it in a basin, add ginger, wine, and salt to pickle.

Boil another pot of water and soak dried bamboo shoots and soybeans.

After marinating for half an hour, put the bamboo rat meat Li Junge put lard in the pot, and when the oil begins to smoke, the bamboo rat meat is stir-fried in the pot, and after the meat changes color, add water and boil.

After the water boils, take out the rat meat with a colander and shake it a few times on the water surface to clean the sticky foam on the meat.

Put the clean rat meat into the casserole, then take out a basket and put it on the casserole, spread a layer of gauze, and pour the broth that has just been cooked on the bamboo rat, so that the foam is left on the gauze, and what is left in the casserole is the pure and white bamboo rat broth.

Then add soaked dried bamboo shoots, soybeans, a few slices of ginger, and a few white onions with whiskers to the broth, boil over high heat, change to low heat, cover and slowly surr.

Then start preparing the ingredients for the catfish.

Li Junge is going to make a garlic catfish.

First, use cooking wine, salt, onion and garlic to give the catfish a taste.

Peel half a catty of garlic, cut off the tip and garlic stalk, wash it and put it in a bowl, add a little salt, add cooking wine, put a small amount of soup on it, and steam it on the basket.

Take out two taels of soaked red pepper and pickled ginger, cut the ginger into small square slices, remove the chili seeds from the pickled pepper, and cut into small pieces.

Slice the ginger again, cut the green onion into sections, and pinch the coriander into short sections.

Dig out a few more tablespoons of watercress and chop them finely.

Steam the garlic until soft, remove and let cool.

Then go out and talk to the crowd.

After two hours, Li Junge returned to the kitchen, poured out the cooking wine of the catfish, and added a little bean flour to grasp it well.

The stewed bamboo rat was also ready for the fire, Li Junge added some salt to it and brought out the casserole first.

Then come back and put the wok on a hot fire and boil a large pot of hot oil.

The vegetable oil has a raw smell and must be completely boiled, then let cool until it is slightly hot, put it back on low heat, and start frying the fish pieces. Fry the catfish until the pieces turn white, then scoop up the meat and drip oil.

Leave a small amount of oil in the pot, add bean paste, soak chili peppers, soak ginger, fry until the red oil comes out, add broth, remove the bean paste residue after boiling, put fish pieces, salt, soy sauce, sugar, mash juice, cooking wine, vinegar, green onions, ginger, turn to low heat after boiling, cover and burn until the fish is cooked and flavorful, put in the steamed garlic, burn until the juice is thick, hook some sauce, shovel the fish into the plate and put it well.

Sprinkle with coriander and bring out this large plate of garlic-grilled catfish.

casually fried a few more vegetarian dishes, and the five of them were ready to eat.

Li Junge lifted the lid of the casserole of the stewed bamboo rat, and the aroma suddenly filled the entire hall.

"Wow! it smells so good!" Liang Huili praised first.

"Come on, come on, sit down. Uncle Mingjiang beckoned everyone to sit down, and poured loquat wine on everyone.

Liang Huili said to Li Junge: "Erpi, I just checked it on the Internet, and this bamboo rat is full of treasures." ”

Li Junge took the mobile phone and read it, which said that bamboo rats contain a variety of rich nutrients, among which the content of lysine, leucine, and methionine is better than that of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, fish, shrimp and crabs.

It can also be used medicinally, and it is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Bamboo rat meat is sweet, flat and non-toxic." Nourish the qi and detoxify".

Then it was also mentioned that modern medicine has proved that bamboo rat meat also has the effects of promoting human white blood cell and hair growth, enhancing liver function and preventing arteriosclerosis, anti-aging, delaying puberty, and is a natural beauty and body-strengthening product.

Wang Congjun didn't believe it at first, and said: "Hahaha, this is not an elixir!"

Li Junge said again: "Also, it says that the fur of the bamboo rat is also precious and can be made into a fur coat. ”

Uncle Craftsman was the first to object: "This thing is stewed with skin and soft and glutinous, it is very delicious, it is a pity to make a fur coat." ”

A few people laughed, this statement is too funny.

However, Li Jiagou doesn't use a leather coat, but everyone likes to eat stewed meat with skin.

Li Junge finally said: "It is also said that the bamboo rat meat is delicate, delicious and delicious, and it is a game with high nutritional value, low fat and low cholesterol. ”

Everyone said together: "The last half of this is really right!"

There was another burst of laughter, and everyone began to drink and get meat.

Zhu Chao'an fished a piece of catfish and put it in his mouth, and said: "This catfish is fat and delicate, fresh and fragrant, it is really a rare delicacy." ”

"That's!" Wang Congjun also clipped a piece and said: "This is authentic river fresh, this big plate is five or six catties, and you can get a lot of money for staying in the provincial city." ”

Liang Huili held a bowl of bamboo rat soup, drank it slowly, and said, "Then it will be at least a thousand years smaller." ”

Then he pointed to the casserole and said: "This pot of soup has more than a thousand in the provincial capital." ”

Uncle Smith smacked his tongue and said, "Good girl, it's so expensive." Didn't we eat more than 2,000 yuan for this meal? Hey, if all the people from the provincial capital came to us, then we would have to make a lot of money to open a restaurant. ”

Li Junge said with a smile: "But people don't come, we don't have the luck to make this money!"

Uncle Craftsman smiled: "That's because they are not blessed, they can't get such delicious things! Come, Liang girl, Xiao Wang Xiaozhu, let's get enough ourselves!"

Li Junge sandwiched another piece of catfish to Liang Huili and said, "Come on, girl, this has a strong taste, don't keep nibbling on the bamboo rat meat." ”

Liang Huili said: "This skin meat has a lot of gelatin, and it is very good for the skin, so I need to eat more." ”

Li Junge said: "Catfish is still nourishing blood and nourishing the kidneys and regulating the yin, it is better to eat more blood." ”

Zhu Chaoan said: "Yo, the bamboo rat moisturizes the skin, and the catfish nourishes the inside, this is a table of beauty vegetables." ”

Uncle Smith laughed and said, "It's our table, except for Liang Yatou, no one needs it!"

Wang Congjun said: "That's fine, as long as it's delicious, it can cure our gluttony!"
