Chapter Twenty-Nine: Chicken and Fish Porridge with Wild Meat

made a fuss in the backyard for a while, and when Zhang Xiaojie returned to the front yard to look at the sky, it was not too early. Because it was to send food to Xiaoshi's master, he needed to go earlier, and he couldn't wait for the master to eat, so Zhang Xiaojie didn't clean up the yard anymore, and began to prepare ** materials.

Zhang Xiaojie first boiled some water, warmed it in the pot, and then soaked the dried chanterelles in warm water. Passing the epimedium with warm water, and then lifting the chicken from the well, if there was no well, I am afraid that the chicken would not have been kept now, and it would have been spoiled a long time ago.

All the onions, ginger and garlic are washed, and there is clean yellow mud, after all the materials are ready, Zhang Xiaojie washed the pheasant and put it in the wooden basin to drain the water, Zhang Xiaojie originally planned to make lotus leaf chicken, because Zhang Xiaojie had not seen lotus leaves in this place, I heard Zhang Dashan say that the thing is still a precious thing, I am afraid that it is only in Yizhou City, Zhang Xiaojie also gave up.

'Tang Materia Medica' has a record: Epimedium or fairy spleen, warm in nature, sweet in taste, return to the liver and kidney meridians, suitable for people with cold uterine infertility, yang deficiency hypertension, menopausal syndrome, and more suitable for men.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaojie is ready to wrap pheasants with epimedium weed, which has more calcium and nutritional value than domestic chickens, and epimedium can be said to be a supplement.

The pheasant meat is slightly darker, Zhang Xiaojie cut off the pheasant's chicken feet and put it on the other side, in fact, the pheasant claws have no meat, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. Remove half of the butter from the chicken's belly.

When the pheasant drained the water, Zhang Xiaojie mashed the coarse salt, made some fine salt, smeared some on the inside and outside of the chicken's body, and then scooped up the chanterelles and the soaked epimedium weed.

Seeing that the chicken was almost marinated and the chanterelles had drained the water, Zhang Xiaojie stuffed all the chanterelles into the chicken belly and then used the vine of epimedium to put on the chicken belly and tie it tightly.

After seeing that the pheasant is all done, the basic collection this time is pubescent epimedium weed, which has large leaves, about the size of an adult's palm, and is not easy to break after being dried in the shade and soaked softly.

Zhang Xiaojie wrapped all the leaves of the chicken with the leaves of epimedium, and the chicken wings and neck chicken legs were wrapped separately, and Zhang Xiaojie was afraid of spreading and used the vine of epimedium to tie the pheasant carefully.

After tying up, Zhang Xiaojie put the pheasant into the wet and dry yellow mud and wrapped it around, and when the mud stopped dripping, Zhang Xiaojie put the chicken into the stove that had been prepared for boiling water and began to burn a small fire.

Because today is the day of the whole family bath once every two days, speaking of which, this was there before Zhang Xiaojie came here, which shows that the ancients still loved to be clean, especially Zhang Dashan would wipe it every day before entering the house, in fact, Zhang Xiaojie secretly thought that Zhang Dashan must have gone to the field every day to sweat profusely, if he didn't wash Zhang's family, I am afraid he would not let him enter the house.

Seeing that the yellow mud on the surface of the pheasant was slowly solidifying, Zhang Xiaojie went to pour the remaining useless yellow mud on the edge of the vegetable garden to cultivate soil.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Zhang Xiaojie had just finished washing her hands when she heard Sanya's cheerful voice, "Sister, Sister, let's come back~"

Zhang Xiaojie looked up and saw Sanya wearing small straw sandals alone, the pigtails on her head came to the door with a flick of the run, and jumped directly over the threshold when she encountered it, like a little rabbit. Erya carefully guarded the basket in her hand and stepped into the threshold.

Zhang Xiaojie got up, wiped her hands on the hanging apron, caught Sanya who ran to the front and said, "What's the matter? So excited?" Zhang Xiaojie saw Sanya's little face flushed with excitement, and smiled: "Did you catch a fish?"

"En, yes, Sister is such a big fish! This is what the third brother caught!"

"Oh, then let me take a look, what to do with this 'big fish' tonight?" Zhang Xiaojie smiled narrowly, pinched Sanya's red little face, in fact, Zhang Xiaojie didn't believe that there were any big fish, Zhang Feng, the eldest son of the uncle's family who also called the eldest brother, was only nine years old this year, although he had already learned the work of a carpenter with his uncle, after all, he was not yet ten years old, and as for Zhang Mu, who was the same age as himself, and his younger brother Zhang Yang, who was one year younger, how could they catch a big fish when they were only six or seven years old.

Zhang Xiaojie took the basket from Erya's hand and found that the basket was really a little heavy, and when she looked down, she found that there were really big fish in the basket, but they were all crucian carp and melon seeds, about the size of the palm of the hand, there were two, and there were some two-finger thick Sichuan strips.

"These fish were caught by Zhang Mu and Zhang Yang? Why did you catch so many today?" Zhang Xiaojie knew that there were fish in the river, but it was not easy to catch, because there were a lot of fish caught by the river in Xiaohe Village, and the big ones were caught by adults, and the children were just having fun, and now it was a little strange to see these two relatively large fish in the basket.

"Sister, sister, it was the third brother who caught it, the third brother brought a net today," the third brother said as if he was in front of the second brother.

"Why did you bring a net today?" Zhang Xiaojie was a little strange, although Xiaohe Village caught a lot of fish, but the general fish is only eaten by themselves, because there are many fish bones, and there is a fishy smell, so only a few families in the village have small fish nets.

"Sister, it's because the eldest brother heard that Xiaoshi was taken by Mr., and said that he specially borrowed a fishing net to catch fish to celebrate!"

"I see, then I'll make fish for Ah Yan to celebrate tonight! By the way, I'll give you this little gluttonous cat to eat and satisfy your hunger." Zhang Xiaojie heard Erya say this, and felt that although the eldest aunt had some power, the junior always read it, so she touched Sanya's head and said.

Although today is a celebration, but I'm afraid there are only a few of them who have dinner at home with Zhang's family, Zhang Dashan has to take a small stone to visit Master Yan at night, so just make some porridge.

Zhang Xiaojie saw that there were still some fragrant young leaves in the ravie, and thought that although the crucian carp was tender in meat, it had many spines, and a few small ones were not often eaten, so it would be terrible if they were stuck by fish bones, so she decided to make some fish porridge.

After deciding, Zhang Xiaojie instructed Erya to light the fire, and as for Sanya, who escaped, he followed him and watched him clean up these fish.

Zhang Xiaojie cut a knife in the tail of the fish, then cut the fish in half with a horizontal knife, and removed the big bones of the fish, leaving the fish meat on both sides.

Seeing that Erya had already made the cauldron on fire, he put all the big bones and fish heads into the pot and prepared to boil it into fish soup. Tell Er Ya to make a big fire.

In fact, although Zhang Xiaojie can cook at home and can master the heat, she is not very good at burning fire, and the best one is Erya.

Then pick out all the big fish bones as much as possible, the back of the knife used by the farmer is relatively thick, so after picking out, use the back of the knife to start chopping the fish meat, because the back of the knife is thick will not cut off the fish bones, but because the fish meat is chopped into fish puree, the small fish bones will be revealed.

In this way, after slowly chopping all the fish into fish puree, the fish soup in the pot was also boiled into light white, Zhang Xiaojie took out all the fish bones, put the washed rice and corn into the pot together, and after the fire boiled, cut the chicken fat from the stomach of the pheasant in front into thin strips and put it in the porridge.

Zhang Xiaojie took out a wild egg and knocked it into the fish bowl, added some coarse salt and stirred it with the fish, the porridge in the pot slowly thickened, and the smell of some chicken came out.

Seeing that it was not early, Zhang Xiaojie used a small spoon to put the fish puree into the pot one by one, and just put it into the pot, it became a fish meatball of different shapes.

Zhang Xiaojie cut the young leaves of Huoxiang into thin strips, cut the green onion into green onions and put them on the cutting board, and saw that the second and third girls had become small flowers, so she fetched water and cleaned them up for the two children, so as to wait for the Zhang family and them to come back to eat.
