"Brother Mang, what are you going to cook tonight?" Liu Mang walked into the kitchen, and Wu Jing also followed.

"I'll take a look. Liu Mang opened the refrigerator in the kitchen and looked at it: "There aren't many dishes, or let's put the wild goods we caught today on the table." ”

"It's fine, but how do you eat it?"

"You say. ”

"Let's eat lightly at noon, why don't we have some heavy bite in the evening?" Wu Jing smacked her lips and replied.

"Yes, then I'll make a few Sichuan dishes later. ”

"Okay, then I'll go to the toilet first, and I'll come over and help right away. ”

After Wu Jing came back, Liu Mang was already busy.

"Brother Mang, what do you need me to do?"

"Oh, kill the rabbits and pheasants. Pheasants are dehaired, rabbits are not. Liu Mang, who was cutting the small ingredients, replied.

"Oh. Wu Jing answered and walked out. But when he walked to the door and came back: "Uh...... Mang'er...... I ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Have you forgotten something?"

"Forgot something, forgot something?" Liu Mang said in surprise.

"Brother Mang, although I haven't been ordained yet, I'm not half a monk? Wu Jing rubbed her smooth head, a little embarrassed.

"I really forgot!" Liu Mang slapped his head, and looked Wu Jing up and down again: "Who made you drink and eat meat in a big gulp, and took us to hunt wild boars and catch hares?

"That's different. Wu Jing put her palms together and recited the Buddha's name: "I practice Hinayana Buddhism, and I pay attention to eating only the 'three pure meats', not seeing the killing, not smelling the killing, not killing for the killing." Although I usually hunt, I have never had blood on my hands. ”

"If you don't see killing, you can still do it if you don't hear it, so how can you explain it if you don't kill for yourself?"

In Theravada Buddhism, Liu Mang understands the meaning of 'three pure meats'. First, they do not see the killing of the animals, that is, they do not see the miserable scene of the animals dying, second, they do not hear the screams of the animals without hearing the sound of the animals, and third, they do not kill for themselves, and they do not kill for the sake of eating for themselves.

"It's very simple, for example, if I want to eat rabbits today, then I'll go hunting a pheasant, and if I want to eat a pheasant, then I'll hunt a rabbit, isn't that just not killing for myself?"

"You really know how to quibble!" Liu Mang almost laughed: "According to what you say, there is no unrepairable method in the world." ”

"There is no such thing as an uncultivable method in the world! Wu Jing squeezed her eyes at Liu Mang: "Brother Mang, you are in love!"

"Okay. Liu Mang had an expression of being completely defeated by you: "Then tell Jeba to come over and kill, and you help me wash the vegetables." ”

"Xingle!" Wu Jing responded happily and ran out to call Jeba.

"Mang, how are you going to kill it?" After a while, Jeba walked into the kitchen.

"Rabbits can be disemboweled, and pheasants need hot water to pluck their feathers. ”

"It's easy, I'll do it right away. Jeba went out with the two hares and pheasants he had hunted in the morning.

"Brother Mang, how do you eat rabbits and pheasants?" asked Wu Jing as she peeled the garlic cloves.

"I'm going to make a 'cold water rabbit' and a 'pepper chicken', stir-fry a few vegetables and eat. ”

"Cold water rabbit...... Wu Jing swallowed her saliva: "Your master was in a good mood once, and he made it for me once, that taste!

Cold water rabbit, also known as spicy rabbit, spicy rabbit, is a special food in Shudi, belongs to the Xiaohebang cuisine in the classification of Sichuan cuisine, has a history of more than 100 years. It has a spicy and fragrant flavor and is perfect for wine and rice.

Soon, Jeba came back with the slaughtered rabbit and pheasant: "Mang, do you need me to do anything?"

"No, you go take a shower, and we'll be ready to eat in a while. ”

“OK。 ”

"Brother Mang, why don't you want Jeba to skin the rabbit?

"No, if you peel the skin, you will lose a layer of taste. Liu Mang walked to the stove with two rabbits, and a pot of hot water was boiling in the pot of the stove.

Cold-water rabbits are divided into two types according to their initial processing methods: one is called "hot skin rabbit". It is to soak the slaughtered rabbit in boiling water, remove the fur and keep the rabbit skin to eat. The second is called "peeling rabbit", which refers to cutting off the rabbit skin and only using the rabbit meat for consumption.

Now it may be because of the high industrial value of rabbit skin, so almost all the cold rabbits sold on the market are scratched rabbits, so many people don't know that in fact, the taste of hot rabbits is better.

Liu Mang carried the rabbit's hind legs, immersed it in the pot of hot water, scalded it a few times and immediately lifted it, and after it cooled down slightly, he immediately immersed it in the ......

After repeating it several times, the hair on the hare's body began to fall off from the skin, Liu Mang poured a scoop of cold water into the pot, and when the water temperature warmed up, he began to brush the hair with his hands.

"Brother Mang, are these chili peppers enough?" asked Wu Jing, who was in charge of washing and peeling vegetables, holding half a pot of fresh chili peppers.

Pepper chicken is a typical Shudi Jianghu dish based on pepper, with freshly killed local chicken as raw material, chopped into coarse dices, and then fried in the pot. For this reason, dishes such as chili hoof tendons and chili beef have also been extended.

There is a saying that "spicy chicken, spicy chicken, spicy chicken in the spicy pile to find chicken." It is also suitable for use on chili chicken.

"Not enough, wash some more. Liu Mang glanced at the basin in Wu Jing's hand: "This 'sharp pepper chicken' pepper is two-thirds more than chicken, so it is delicious enough." ”

"Okay, I'll go out into the garden and pick some more. ”

After Wu Jing left, Liu Mang put the dehaired hare under the faucet to rinse it, then put it on the cutting board and took a kitchen knife.

The method of 'cold water rabbit' is varied, some chefs like to chop the bones and put them in the pot, some like to oil them before stir-frying, and some people like to add tangerine peel to suppress the smell of rabbit meat.

Liu Mang's current practice belongs to the fine cooking of common vegetables, first use the whole chicken to remove the bones of the hare, and then use peppercorns, star anise, ingredients, ginger slices, green onions in the pot and add water to boil slightly until about nine mature, and finally change the knife into small dices, and then do the processing.

"Little Master Liu......" Just as Liu Mang put the rabbit in the pot to simmer, Officer Wang walked into the kitchen and glanced at the pot: "Rabbit, I have a good day today." ”

"Well, I caught it in the afternoon, and I was still alive just now. Liu Mang replied casually, and after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Uh...... Officer Wang, hare is not a protected animal, is it?"

"Haha, Master Liu, we're not so rigid. Officer Wang laughed: "Sometimes we will go hunting some wild boars, and rabbits will be sacrificed with teeth." ”

"That's good. Liu Mang also smiled.

He covered the pot, walked to the board, chopped the two pheasants into pieces the size of red dates, put cooking wine, five-spice powder, salt and other condiments, mixed well, and prepared to put it into the pot for a while.
