Chapter 570 [Peach Gum Braised Pork (2)]
Deep mountains and dense forests, cliffs and ravines are crisscrossed, and thorns are overgrown.
Chen Ergou may follow Rengar and run quickly, jumping like a fly, chasing the trail of his prey, or lie quietly on the side of a tree or rock, waiting for the moment of accurate shooting.
……
After the detachment, Chen Ergou set off to hunt with the curious Fan Apple and the "follower" Yun'er.
Starting from the mountain wilderness at the mouth of the valley spring, I followed aimlessly all the way.
The road is getting more and more dangerous, looking for a stone path and searching for possible prey along the way.
The slopes of the hills were steep, sometimes cliffs below, which were very thrilling, and the progress of the team was blocked at one point. If you really fall, there is no one to rescue you, and the signal is not good. Come to think of it, I came out to relax and experience the wilderness, not to take risks.
Fan Apple was almost about to retreat, why did he be stupid and follow out to watch the excitement. But thinking about the eyes of Xiaomi and others when they were about to leave, "It should be very interesting." ”
The mild and calm climate and diversity make this no-man's land a paradise and paradise for flora and fauna, and also make Yunnan's food unique in freshness and nature.
The environment of the Dulong River is peculiar, even between the deep mountains and dense forests, you will meet surprises at the turns.
What is Surprise?
Surprises are not common, but there are too many frightens in the mountains: maybe it's a strange insect hanging down from a tree, maybe it's a green bamboo snake in the grass blocking the road, but a heavy peach tree is definitely a surprise!
On the slope there was a wild peach tree, five feet high, with a semicircular crown.
From a distance, it looks like the moon on the night of the eighth day of the first lunar month.
The leaves of the wild peach tree are more slender, black-green, black-green, extremely narrow, like a waning moon, awe-inspiring and stiff, but it does not affect its flowering and fruiting at all. Not only fruit, but also the wild peach fruit bears more, often one by one, the tip is pointed and protruding, the suture line is deep, and the body is almost invisible with fluffy white hair.
This month, even though the autumn peaches have been on the market, the wild peach still maintains an apricot-sized figure and does not move at all. Chen Ergou was willing, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the two women behind him, "Look at what we found?"
"Wow, that's a lot of peaches!" Fan Apple finally realized that he had found something good in front of him.
Chen Ergou smiled: "Very good, it's the first harvest today." ”
Yun'er said, "Why are peaches so small?"
"Because it hasn't been grafted yet, wild peach is like this, and it needs to be grafted to produce big fruits. Chen Ergou took one off, wiped off the fluff on the epidermis and tasted it, the taste was sour and astringent, difficult to swallow, and pretended to be casual: "It's a little bitter, do you want to taste it?"
"To~"
"Of course!"
There are not so many rules in the wilderness, and everyone who eats will eat. Not to be outdone, the two girls wiped it and took a bite from Chen Ergou's rough appearance, but the next moment they immediately spit it out, "provoke~"
"Haha~" Chen Ergou laughed very unscrupulously.
Fan Apple's bitter water was about to spit out, "Is it interesting?"
"Oba, I didn't expect you to be such an Oba, I was miserable. Yuna picked up the small kettle and began to drink water frantically.
Chen Ergou held back for a long time, and then his face changed abruptly, and he said with a bitter face to the camera: "Friends, people who have eaten Mao Tao must be no stranger." Although the green peach can be eaten, the bitterness is too sharp, with a sharpness that goes straight to the depths. It looks like the green and white fruit, and when you really bite into your mouth, it is like last night's heavy rain, once it is opened, the bitter liquid will immediately gush out, and it will instantly soak into your every taste bud. ”
"Yes, no, yes, on, play, laugh!"
The picture of the sailors watching him eat a big meal is too unforgettable, and now they see him suffering, but they taste the comfort of nectar.
"Well, first bitter and then sweet, don't be too squeamish. ”
"Isn't it undercooked, why do you still have to eat, be careful of diarrhea. ”
"Haha, the unripe green peach can be bitter, and you can spit out your bile water. ”
"It's bad, my dog is naughty, 2333!"
……
However, Chen Ergou's word-by-word advice made the two girls even more angry, and they hammered your chest with small fists.
Chen Ergou hurriedly surrendered and explained: "But I didn't deliberately trap you, the peach is also a peach, and it can be eaten if it is bitter, didn't I spit it out." Because the flesh and core of the wild peach are connected, the core juice is clear and cold but bitter like fish gall, we have eaten the peach pit. ”
He began to pick the ripe parts, "Try this, it will taste much better." ”
The two women suddenly shook their heads, "I won't eat if I am killed." ”
Chen Ergou personally demonstrated, "Look, the ripe peach is different from the green peach, its skin has become very smooth unusually, and red meat can still be seen under the green and shiny skin, just like ...... Think about it, like a sunset. ”
When he bit it gently, the flesh separated from the kernel and became mushy. The pit is bright red, like a bright red bodhi seed, and the nearby flesh is engraved with a hazy pattern by the raised part of the core, with a sense of mystery. Beads might be a good idea.
It was only at this time that Fan Apple and Yun'er realized that the redness under the skin of the wild peach had all seeped out from the inside out.
"Yun'er, shall I taste it first?" Fan Apple decided to test the poison.
Yun'er looked at her with a blank eye, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after she ate the first one, "Although the flesh is not too thick, this juice is unexpectedly rich and tastes very good!"
Yuna couldn't wait to eat, and her bitter little face bloomed like sunshine.
Chen Ergou said with a smile: "This is the purest pesticide-free fruit, which looks inconspicuous, but the fragrance contained in its flesh is pure and light, almost endless, and it makes people have an endless aftertaste." ”
“…… Let's pick all the cooked ones, just in time to replenish the water source. ”
"Uh-huh. The two women did it together.
Chen Ergou took out a knife and searched the trunk again, and said, "There is also a delicacy on the wild peach tree, called peach gum." ”
"Rural children may have had the same experience as me when they were young, and in the fields they would often see wasps or ants gathered on the viscose of the trunks of peach trees, crawling around with their heads down, as if they were eating something delicious. ”
"I'm telling you, this soft and collapsed viscose is called peach gum. It is also called peach oil, peach fat, peach blossom tears, peach gum, peach condensation, etc., which can be used to roast meat and eat!" Seeing that the camera in the live broadcast room was full of question marks, Fan Apple also looked puzzled, so he explained: "The dried peach gum is crystalline stone-like, very hard, a bit like pomegranate seeds, and a bit like lumpy amber." ”
"The main components of these peach gums are galactose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, etc., which contain carbohydrate chemicals, fats, proteins and plant collagen. It can be used to make peach gum braised pork. ”
Turning his head to the camera and starting to teach, "If you are interested, you can remember it." The approximate method is to soak the peach gum in warm water for 32 hours, wash it piece by piece, and pick out the impurities and sediment inside. Then concoct the pork belly, you can use chives, ginger and meat together in the pot, after cooking, scoop it up and mix it evenly with the mixed peach gum, and cook until the thick soup can be put on the plate. I don't know if anyone in the audience has eaten it, but the cooked peach gum braised pork looks crystal clear and pleasing to the eye. It tastes soft and glutinous, crispy but not greasy. ”
Yun'er's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Oba, let's get more of it if it's so delicious, shall we make this at night?"
"Then you have to have meat. ”
Chen Ergou smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just food, it's also medicinal food." It is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that "peach gum is soaked with mulberry ash juice, except for all kinds of diseases, the valley is broken for several months, and there is light like the moon at night for a long time." It also relieves fatigue, relieves stress, and has the effect of beautifying the skin. If you have the opportunity, you can make a meal of peach gum braised pork for you to try in the future. ”
Fan Apple smiled: "You know a lot. Since it's a good thing, let's get it all away. ”
"A must. ”
Water friends are not calm, as Chen Ergou said, many people have eaten peaches for a lifetime, but they don't know the deliciousness of this thing.
