Chapter 140: Horseshoe Ditch
The Zi family is full of friends today, in addition to the old Yaozi, Li Wuye, Wang Sanpao, and the fat family, including the old revolutionary.
The chick in the pot and ~ the longer it lasts, the more flavorful it becomes.
Mao Mao led the two brothers around the pot, sniffing from time to time, looking like a monkey in a hurry.
The monkey's head is handled by the car owner, who is an expert at fiddling with mountain treasures. The fat man is learning art on the side, in fact, according to his temperament, he has long wanted to eat, but he is worried that his craft is not good and he will waste good things.
I saw the car boss break the monkey head in half with his hands, then tear it into one piece, soak it in clean water, and teach the fat man: "The monkey head is a little bitter, soak it for a while, and it is best not to use a knife to process the fresh monkey head, so as not to be stained with rust." Moreover, this kind of mountain treasure is too vegetarian, and you must use large oil when cooking, preferably lard. Therefore, using monkey head to stew pork ribs and pork belly is the best choice, as for those lighter methods, it is not what our people are proud of. β
"Hehe, I'm all set. The fat man took out a three-layered waist row, which was three or four catties: "If you want to eat meat, fat and thin, this stewed monkey head is just right." β
"Where did you get it?" The car boss also brightened his eyes, the fat man said that he wanted to stew monkey head with pork belly, he still didn't believe it, no one killed pigs this month, and there was no place to buy it if he had money.
"You don't care about this, I went to the commune yesterday, and it happened that a pig in the ground was blown up by the bomber, so I had to kill and sell meat. "The fat man said nonsense, in fact, this meat is still left during the New Year, but in order to prevent the livestock from entering the field, the countryside makes a kind of fried man, wraps it with hemp rope, smears some oil on it, and the livestock bite it and fry it, although it can't be blown up, but the tongue is blown up and the mouth is broken, and there is no way to eat, and it can only be slaughtered, such a thing is very common, so the car boss no longer asks.
Wash the pork belly in a basin, then cut it into dice, more than an inch long and half an inch thick, cut a few green onions, grab a handful of peppercorns, and then take the basin to Captain Li's house to stew.
First put the large piece of meat in the pot, and fry it all the way, the more you fry the more oil, the more golden brown it hangs, and the pot is also big, and the knife is like a small shovel, so that it is full of pride.
The car boss grabbed a handful of green onions and threw them into the pot, and then threw the peppercorns into it, and then poured the monkey's head into the pot. The copied monkey's head is as white as snow, and there is more meat and less monkey head, and it is basically not in the oil and meat. Then he covered the pot and simmered for a while, without adding soup or burning the fire, just asking the monkey head to eat all the oil.
Scoop up the scoop. Pour three scoops of water into the pot: "Burn the fire." Bring to a boil first. Then slowly grunt over low heat. "Finished. Clap your hands. That's it.
The fat man looked straight at it: one side of the water and the other side of the people. That's true. Cook from this. It's all full of boldness.
Two big dishes are available. The fat man gathered a few more small hairy vegetables. Meat and vegetable pairing. It tastes good when you eat it: one is a dipping pickle. Fried a large bowl of egg sauce. Served with whole green onions, new garlic, coriander, stinky vegetables, lettuce, and the other is roasted vegetables. Nor does it use meat. Stir-fry with a large amount of vegetarian oil.
The others didn't have much to do. They all sat on the kang and chattered. Talking about what the fat man just said. After the fat man entered the house and shouted "open the meal". Everyone went down to the ground to find shoes. It's all gone.
OK. Captain Li still has one rubber shoe left. It's in a clumsy mouth. It took a lot of effort to carry it to the outhouse.
"Stupid. Start with the meal. Kiki came into the house with a big bottle. Don't feed this guy first. Don't even think about eating for a while. Stupid immediately stood up excitedly. Holding the bottle with both front paws. Leaning against the wall. Smack and suck. Bottom out in the blink of an eye.
Lao Yaozi looked at the bear cub happily and said, "Qiqi, there are many new pets at home, and when they are raised, kill and eat bear paws and take bear bile." β
"I don't want to do it. Qiqi picked up Ben Ben and ran out of the house, although she knew that the old medicine was teasing, but she still didn't feel at ease.
"Serveβ" The fat man and the big pigtails came up with a big basin, a pot of chicken stewed mushrooms, and a pot of monkey head pork belly.
Everyone looked at it and couldn't help but swallow and spit at the mouth. The pot of chickens is yellow and shiny, the chicken is tightly pressed against the bone stick, the chicken skin is slightly open, and the heat is just right;
The other pot is even more brilliant, the pork belly trembles, fat but not greasy, the fat is stewed, and the monkey's head is still snow-white, like a piece of white lotus petals, blooming in the clear and bright oil layer.
"Move the chopsticks, what are you looking at!" The fat man had no identity as the owner, and was the first to pick up the chopsticks, first took a mushroom, and put it in his mouth. Only then did everyone move their chopsticks, and they all stretched out their chopsticks to the mushrooms and monkeys.
It is said that these people are all experts, and they know that chickens and pork belly are actually side dishes, and mushrooms and monkey heads can be eaten, but if there is no them, mushrooms and monkey heads will not be fragrant, so they are complementary to each other.
The mushroom entrance almost slipped directly into the stomach, which not only has the fresh aroma of chicken soup, but also ~ the natural taste of itself, no wonder it can be so famous.
The fat man sandwiched another monkey head, which was tender and mellow, full of meat flavor, if it was clamped into the mouth with his eyes closed, he really couldn't tell whether it was meat or bacteria.
"Monkey head people are called vegetarian meat, and it tastes more fragrant than lean meat, which is really good. "Although it is the first time for the fat man to eat, I have not read the introduction of monkey head before, but it is better to taste it than to see it, and today is enjoyable.
Everyone shook their chopsticks for a long time, and the big pigtails brought up the food again: "You haven't drunk yet?"
The fat man looked at it, but it was not anything, he patronized and ate, and forgot about the stubble of drinking. So he hurriedly copied the wine bottle, and did not use a small wine cup, but drank wine in a large bowl and ate meat in large pieces.
"Today is a satisfying meal at the fat man's house. The old medicine man took a piece of pork belly and said happily. It is said that the countryside is all year round, that is, you can see some meat stars during the New Year, and because it is closest to Daqingshan, it can occasionally improve, especially after the fat man comes.
After eating and drinking, the fat man made tea, went to get rid of the greasy, and then said to the car boss: "Tomorrow, let's choose a hillside to build a frog farm, not in the old forest, a little tree, more grass, it is better to have a few ponds, there is a long flowing water, save us from digging." β
"You're demanding enough. The car boss Zi Meimei took a sip of tea, and then turned to Wang Sanpao: "You look at the piece that goes to Nanwatang, close to the mountain, how about the place we call Horseshoe Valley?"
Wang Sanpao slapped his thigh: "The conditions are similar to what the fat man said, and it's only five or six miles away from the village, let's go over tomorrow morning and take a look." β
When the fat man saw it, Daqingshan was as happy as if he was in the hearts of the two of them, and said to the old medicine man: "You and Uncle Boss also have a total of which forest is more suitable for planting ginseng, and we will go into the mountains to collect seeds in a few days, and we will be able to plant them this year." β
Lao Yaozi scratched his head: "I said fatty, there are fewer and fewer wild ginseng, I haven't picked it for several years, how can I find ginseng fruit so easily?"
"You don't have to worry about this, Qiqi and the fat man are lucky, they found two old ginseng last year, and they almost called Qiqi to gnaw on the radish. The car owner said confidently.
The fat man has more confidence in his heart, needless to say anything else, there are dozens of ginseng seedlings in the box, and the ginseng planted in the big mountain has also blossomed and borne fruit. If you transplant it from the space, you will definitely be able to survive.
Early the next morning, the owner of the car drove the carriage out, and the fat man, Wang Sanpao, and Lao Yaozi sat on the car, and just about to get out, Qiqi chased him out of the house: "Take me a-"
The fat man thought that the little guy would have to help walking the ginseng fruit tomorrow, so he took her into the car, and the car owner threw a big whip, and then got out of the tunzi and drove to the southeast.
This road is the one that leads to Nanwazi, walked four or five miles, the owner of the car shouted, stopped the carriage, and then unloaded the horse, bolted to the side of the road to gnaw grass, he is a second-hand, in fact, it is a matter of a few miles, not much more than a few fat, mainly by the way.
A few people wandered into the meadow, which was on the edge of the swamp, and in the distance was Daqing Mountain, where they could see a bright white waterfall cascading down the mountain.
There are a few large bubbles in front, and there are small pools around them, large and small, as if they were mirrors.
The water flowing down the waterfall forms a ditch that winds and circles within the swamp. The fat man touched the back of his head: "Uncle boss, this is what you said about the horseshoe ditch, I think even the horse can drown if it falls in, or lead your horse to the pond to try." β
"Well, the pond has to be deep enough for the toad to hibernate in the winter. This is called a horseshoe ditch, not that the ditch is shallow, but that it has a total of four large ponds, all shaped like horseshoe. β
The fat man couldn't help but stick out his tongue before he remembered this stubble. At this time, several large birds fluttered and flew into the air. Qiqi clapped his hands: "Bring Xiaobai here!"
"Otherwise, these waterfowl are treasures, and they can't be called little white touches. The fat man saw that the guys in the sky were gray, as if they were geese, but he had never seen real geese, so he didn't dare to call them accurately.
Kiki was relieved, the little guy was mainly fresh, jumping around picking wild flowers in the grass. Lao Yaozi pinched a handful of cucumber incense and handed it to Qiqi, this grass has reddish petioles, and there are slender large leaves on both sides, which has nothing to do with cucumbers.
However, as long as you tap it vigorously on your hand, you will immediately have a rich fragrance, and the taste is the same as that of cucumbers.
Poof--Just a foot away from Qiqi, a water bird flew up, with a flat beak and yellow legs, colored feathers on its body, and black dots and white stripes, it was a wild duck, and then, in the distance, many wild ducks flew up one after another, forming a flock, quite spectacular, all fell into several large blisters in front.
The owner of the car slowly reached the place where the wild duck had just flown up, and bent down to pick up something.
"Duck eggs!" Qiqi cheered, and hurriedly leaned up, only to see a small nest in the middle of the grass, in which five or six duck eggs were lying.
The car boss lifted up his shirt and asked Qiqi to pick up the duck eggs. Kiki said happily as he picked it up, "It's still hot." β
"Don't be happy, little girl, these duck eggs are twenty days old, and there are ducklings in them, and they can't be eaten. "The car boss thought Qiqi was greedy.
Unexpectedly, Qiqi was even happier: "Great, just take it back and hatch the ducklings." β
The fat man's heart moved, and he shouted: "It seems that domesticating wild ducks is also a way to make money, but I remember that it seems to be called a mallard, and I didn't see a mallard just now?"
After finishing, I saw that the car boss and others were looking at him with a strange look, and then laughed together: "Fatty, you didn't mean to make fun of us, it was just a female just now, only the male duck is green-headed!"
