Chapter 19: Stewed Rabbit and Perilla

"What's wrong, do you want to do this, will you do it?" Zhang looked at Xiao Jiedao, who followed him into the kitchen like a little tail.

Zhang Xiaojie raised her head, looked at Zhang without blinking, and said, "Mother, I have been cooking all this time, mother, you just let me do it, okay?"

Zhang Shi looked at Xiao Jie and didn't speak, just put the wooden basin away, took out the washed rabbit, slaughtered a quarter of the hind leg with a kitchen knife, and put it on the cutting board before saying, "I'll eat this at noon today, you can watch the cooking, the little stone is making a fuss about eating meat, don't spoil it." “

"Okay, mother, you can look at me" Zhang Xiaojie saw that Zhang agreed to take charge of the spoon, so she rolled up her sleeves with enthusiasm, turned around and went out to fill a scoop of water, and carefully cleaned her black hands before returning to the kitchen.

"By the way, is there something in the belly of that rabbit?" Zhang Xiaojie suddenly remembered the rabbit liver, the rabbit heart or something is also a good thing, the rabbit liver has smart ears and eyes, increases skin luster and cures dizziness.

"What do you want that for? It's very fishy, it's still there," Zhang took out the liver in the rabbit's belly and handed it to Xiao Jiedao.

"This is also meat, you can eat it, and we'll cook it together later." Zhang Xiaojie reached out and took the rabbit liver and put it on the board and said.

Zhang thought that this was indeed meat, but it was a little fishy, and he was reluctant to lose it, so he went with Zhang Xiaojie and didn't care about it.

The piece of rabbit meat on the cutting board looks pink and tender, the meat is firm when you poke it with your hand, and the fishy smell is slightly heavier than that of the rabbits in the previous life, but the number is relatively small.

Zhang cooked the rice in the pot, and saw that Xiao Jie was in a daze at the piece of rabbit meat, walked up to Xiao Jie and said, "You haven't made meat, let's let my mother come." “

Zhang Xiaojie's thoughts were interrupted when she heard Zhang's words, but when she thought that all Zhang's meat in her memory was stewed, and there was little salt and tasteless, she immediately said, "Mother, you promised me to do it, I will too, I will go to the backyard to pick some vegetables and cook rabbits together, mother, wait and see." ”

After Zhang Xiaojie finished speaking, she turned around and ran quickly to the vegetable patch in the backyard, the onions, ginger and garlic in the vegetable patch are very lush, but these are all regarded as main dishes here, but they are not used for seasoning, and it is estimated that it is also the reason for asking for fullness, not eating well.

Picking up a tender ginger and dividing it into pieces, pulling out two relatively large green onions and a garlic, Zhang Xiaojie quickly returned to the kitchen with the vegetables in his hand, before going in, Zhang Xiaojie thought of the leaf-backed perilla he saw on the way home, put down the vegetables in his hand, and quickly ran to the place where he found, and picked a few tender pieces back.

Zhang watched Xiao Jie running around in the kitchen, and after only picking such a dish, he asked, "Xiao Jie, are you cooking this dish with rabbits?"

"That's right, my mother will eat this dish today?" Zhang Xiaojie asked because she didn't see what Zhang cooked.

"You gluttonous cat! you can't eat it, you just make your rabbit, if it's not delicious, they will make trouble with the small stones, and the mother won't help" Zhang Shi saw Xiao Jie's lively splash of cold water.

Zhang Xiaojie quickly cleaned the onions, ginger, garlic and perilla and said, "Mother, don't worry!"

"Okay, then my mother won't care about you, my mother will call the second and third girls back, and you will cook at home" Zhang's hands wiped on the apron, and untied the shelf at the door with his backhand and went out.

Put the washed vegetables in a clean wooden basin, Zhang Xiaojie took out the kitchen knife from the cupboard, in fact, it is very inconvenient to hold it with Zhang Xiaojie's arm strength, and the smelting technology used by the iron tools used by farmers is not developed, so the kitchen knife is relatively heavy and easy to rust.

Zhang Xiaojie carefully took the kitchen knife and put it on the whetstone to sharpen it carefully, wiped off the rust stains, washed it with water, and climbed onto the small bench.

Take a kitchen knife to carefully cut the rabbit meat into small pieces, and then carefully cut off the bitter gall of the rabbit liver and divide it into five pieces, ready to stew one by one, green onions, ginger and garlic cut into large sections, perilla into thin strips.

After the preparations were done, Zhang Xiaojie added half a scoop of cold water to another pot, went to the stove to boil the water, put some onions and garlic, and then put the cut rabbit meat in it again, and fished it up after changing color slightly.

After the pot was washed again, Zhang Xiaojie added a scoop and a half of cold water to the pot, although the taste would be lighter, but after all, I hadn't eaten meat for a long time, so the amount was more, put the rabbit meat and green onions, ginger and garlic into it and boiled it.

After seeing that there was no problem, he covered the pot and went to look at the fire carefully, after cooking for so long, although he had not fried vegetables, Zhang Xiaojie's ability to burn the fire was practiced.

"Sister, Sister, what are you doing? It's so fragrant" Before the three girls arrived, they heard a cheerful voice coming in from outside the door.

After a while, people also ran into the kitchen with a gust of wind with the sound, and the girl on her little head shook and looked at Zhang Xiaojie with a greedy face.

Zhang Xiaojie stuffed the firewood in her hand into the stove, turned her head to look at Sanya with a smile and said, "I promised you last night that you must have meat to eat today, and now you are cooking meat~"

Sanya got Zhang Xiaojie's affirmative answer, and happily ran out of the door to share the good news with Erya, and finally sighed with Erya, "Sister has been getting more and more powerful recently, right, Second Sister"

Erya carefully pulled Anya to prevent her from falling, seeing why Anya was chirping, she couldn't stop talking, looked at Zhang's and saw that Zhang's touched her head and went back to the main room, so she said, "Sanya, let's go and see if Sister Auntie wants to help."

Thinking of the meat at noon today, Sanya pulled Erya to the kitchen with her backhand, ready to help Zhang Xiaojie.

"Sister, sister, Sanya and the second sister are here to help, what is Sister going to do?"

"Sanya is good, it's okay, you can eat meat when your father comes back with the little stone, Erya will take Sanya to play" Zhang Xiaojie looked at the two Xiaodao.

"Sister, then I'll take Sanya out" This time, the second girl pulled the third girl to go out, but although the second girl is taller than the third one, it may be that the gentle personality is used to it and did not pull it, or the third girl saw that Zhang Xiaojie really didn't want to help herself anymore before she was ready to go out with the second girl.

"By the way, Erya, the small tree that bears red fruits in Sanya's yard can't be moved, it's the medicine that my father picked, and it's going to be sold for copper coins," after thinking about it, Sanya felt that Sanya was really a little naughty, and added, "If you break it, your father and mother will be spanked."

Seeing that the two children agreed seriously, Zhang Xiaojie was relieved, and the children of the peasant family still didn't dare to move the things they wanted to sell for money.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Xiaojie got up and opened the lid of the pot, took out the green onions, ginger and garlic that had been boiled with a spoon and chopsticks, and took a few Qin peppers picked by Zhang Dashan from the mountain in the morning and threw them into the pot.

Because it is wild, as soon as Qin Jiao got out of the pot, the aroma became a little stronger, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Xiaojie was an adult in his previous life, he couldn't help but eat it.

I haven't eaten meat since I came here, Zhang Xiaojie was a foodie in her previous life.

Zhang, who was sewing soles outside, looked at the sun and walked in, "Xiaojie is okay, your father and Xiaoshi will be back soon."

"Mother, okay, I'm going to put it up now. After estimating the time, Zhang Xiaojie replied.

Zhang Xiaojie took out a large pottery bowl from the cupboard and put all the rabbit meat in it, and then put the perilla and the remaining green onions on the board into the rabbit broth.

The white-skinned rabbit broth is accompanied by green onions and purple leaf-backed shiso, and the aromatic and sweet taste of the leaf-backed shiso is stimulated by the hot soup.

Zhang Dashan, who had just entered the door with a hoe on his shoulder, and Xiaoshi said in unison as he walked towards the hall, "Today's rice is so fragrant."
