Chapter Seventy-One: Pheasant Paws

He Laosan's illness finally has hope, and the big stone in Mu Zhen's heart can finally land

Tan Ran looked at Mu Zhen, who seemed to be relaxed all over the place, and snorted: "Didn't someone say that he would cook and entertain me personally, why hasn't there been any movement until now?"

Looking at Tan Ran's childish expression, Mu Zhen helplessly supported her forehead, obviously a beautiful man, why did he have to do it to damage his temperament

He glanced at him and said, "You said that you are a foodie, and you really practiced these two words thoroughly."

The two of them got acquainted with these innocuous jokes, and they all said casually, and they didn't take Mu Zhen's disdain to heart at all, "It's a blessing to be able to eat, what you make is not for people to eat, so what do you make it for?"

For these crooked reasons of Tan Ran, Mu Zhen was too lazy to argue with him, and promised to entertain Tan Ran well, Mu Zhen naturally would not break her word, and everyone took Zhao Baozhu and went out with a basket

If it weren't for Tan Ran, this year, because of He Laosan's matter, maybe she would have missed this delicacy

"Zhenniang, what are you looking for," Zhao Baozhu looked at Mu Zhen curiously all the way, and couldn't help but ask curiously

"You may not have seen what we want to eat at noon today, but you will know it when you find it," knowing that Zhao Baozhu was not familiar with these things, and Mu Zhen was also very patient

"Where do those things grow, are they on books or underground," Zhao Mingzhu asked

"What grows in the ground is generally around the mulberry tree"

"What does the mulberry tree look like," although Zhao Baozhu rarely entered the mountains, when she was in the Zhao family, she often helped to light the fire, and she still knew a lot about trees, but she really hadn't heard of the mulberry tree that Mu Zhen said

Marsan is a shrub generally about 1.52.5 meters tall, with horizontal branches, symmetrical leaves, oval trunks, and a circular skin hole with obvious protrusions, somewhat like fish scales

The mulberry tree also bears fruit, and when it is not ripe, it is red, and the later it is, the darker the color, often purple-black, and sweet in taste, but if it is overeaten, it can cause poisoning

"Oh, it's this kind of tree," Mu Zhen thought that Zhao Baozhu didn't know the Ma Mulberry tree on the side of the road, and said to Zhao Baozhu

"It's strange, we all call it fat woman's legs, why do you call it Ma San," Zhao Baozhu asked curiously

Mu Zhen was called according to the previous life, but she didn't expect it to be different from the name here, the fat woman's legs were interesting, and Mu Zhen said: "This is where we are called, and it is different from here."

Zhao Baozhu thought that Mu Zhen said "we are there" meant her maiden family, thinking about it for so long, she had never heard Mu Zhen mention her maiden family, plus He Laosan was injured and unconscious, and she didn't see Mu Zhen's maiden family to see

Zhao Baozhu thought that Mu Zhen's mother's family had a bad relationship with her, and she didn't think it was strange to have such an example of herself

So he smiled and said to Mu Zhen: "Zhen Niang, look at this fat woman's legs, there is no tree straight, do you know why?"

Looking at Zhao Baozhu's interested look, Mu Zhen asked cooperatively: "It's nothing?"

"Look at me, I know, you don't know," he smiled proudly, and continued: "Once the world was invaded by the demon world, the demon world was not alive, and the Jade Emperor sent one of his gods to help mortals, this god saw that those mortals were eating this fat woman's leg fruit in the process of leading the troops to fight, he looked at this black and black fruit, and felt strange, this thing can still be eaten, so he was curious enough to taste one, but he didn't expect the taste to be quite delicious, but he sat on the war horse, and the tree grew tall, and it was inconvenient for him to eat, so he said to the tree: ' Why do you grow so tall, bend your waist, "He's a god, these tree spirits must listen to his words, and the tree will become bent."

Zhao Baozhu's eyebrows flew and danced, and Muzhen also listened carefully, and she felt quite strange about these little stories and legends, "I didn't expect this god to be a foodie."

"It's not," Zhao Baozhu took over the conversation and continued: "It's nothing, at least it's convenient for everyone to eat, but he has also done hateful things."

"Oh, what a hateful thing," Mu Zhen asked curiously

"Do you know Thorn Bubble, this god who used to have no thorns, when he passed by the Thorn Bubble, he looked at the fruit on it, it was very good, and the taste was good, and the more he ate it, the more he liked it, but the war situation was urgent, he went to war, and he was afraid that when he came back, this fruit would not be picked by anyone else and eaten up, so he said to Thorn Bubble, 'You grow thorns', and in this way, the bare tree grew full of thorns."

"Heh, this pair of possessive appetites for food is almost catching up with the conversation," Mu Zhen quipped amusedly

"Haha, it's not," Zhao Baozhu agreed with Mu Zhen's statement

"Alas, I found it, it's the yellow one," the two said as they walked, and Mu Zhen's sharp eyes found a place with pheasant claws

The pheasant paws mentioned by Mu Zhen are actually a kind of fungus, generally with two colors: pale yellow and white, and this fungus grows in clusters

The top of the mushroom is a bit like the shape of a cockscomb, and the middle and bottom are similar to those of Pleurotus eryngii

This fungus usually grows after rain in June, but the growth cycle is very short, and it will rot automatically after the harvest time

The piece the two of them were looking for, all of them were fat women's legs, so the pheasant paws were also in pieces, and after a while, the basket was full

"Okay, let's go, so much, we can eat for four or five days just for one meal," Mu Zhen looked at Zhao Baozhu and said

Mu Zhen told Zhao Baozhu about the habits of this fungus, and Zhao Baozhu looked at the ground, and there were still many such bacteria, and Zhao Baozhu said regretfully: "There are so many more, now that they are gone, these are not a waste."

Mu Zhen looked at Zhao Baozhu with a funny look and explained: "I don't have to carry this basket back in advance, it's not too early, I'm going to cook, you remember the road, if you can use these to take this Mingzhe later, pick it back again, let's dry it and store it."

"Well, isn't it possible that these we picked are useless," Zhao Baozhu didn't understand Mu Zhen's words very well

"Whether you can use it or not, I don't know until I go back to the water, because not all of this fungus can be eaten, some of them will foam after passing the water, which means that it is poisonous, and it is sour and non-toxic in the mouth, there is no foam and no taste, this kind of thing is a piece long, if we don't have it in the basket, then this piece is not poisonous, if there is a litter that is poisonous, then this piece can't be eaten" I'm afraid that Zhao Baozhu doesn't know that he will pick poisonous food in the future, Mu Zhen said very carefully

After returning home, Mu Zhen first took a few nests and soaked them in water, everyone knew for the first time that this kind of thing could be eaten, and they were very curious

Zhao Baozhu was helping Mu Zhen while telling everyone that she learned from Mu Zhen

Because this fungus grows in decaying deciduous bushes, it brings more soil and tree residue, and it will be easier to wash it by soaking it in water

After soaking for a while, break a large bush of pheasant paws and divide them into small strips, which should be rained for the growth of this thing, but excessive rain will also lead to insects inside, so you should pay special attention when cleaning

After washing, I put these in boiling water and boiled them for a while, today Mu Zhen and their luck are good, boiling water for a while, there is no white foam, Mu Zhen fished a small piece, tasted it, and there was no sour taste

The place where they went to pick pheasant paws was not far from the cave, and when they heard that piece was edible, Zhao Baozhu happily pulled it up, and Zhao Mingzhe ran deeply, afraid that it would be snatched away if it was a step too late

After boiling water for a while, you can scoop it up and put it in a fence to control the water

Pheasant paws eat oil, oil to put more to be delicious, the most classic way to eat is to fry bacon with bacon, that is, smoked meat, in this era there is no refrigerator or the like, generally killed pigs at home are smeared with salt, castrated for a few days, hung up with smoke

Find out the bacon that Aunt Xu gave herself a few days ago and cut it into thin slices for later use, and then cut a few green chili peppers, and the chili peppers planted by Mu Zhen can be picked when they are red in autumn, and the growth is also very good

Then it is to burn the pot red, put the cut meat slices in the pot and fry the oil, this pig is fed by Aunt Xu herself with grain, plus there is no such thing as feed in this era, the oil and water of the pork are very sufficient, not bought like in the previous life, even if it is fat, if there is no oil in the pot, it will be fried and the pot will be in the pot

Stir-frying bacon is also skillful, the stir-fry time is short, it is too oily, the stir-fry time is too dry, the best time is to wait for the slices of meat to be fried, rolled like a small spoon, that is the best

Then add a little ginger and peppercorns, stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the pheasant feet with dry water into the pot and stir-fry for two or three minutes, then pour the green peppers into the pot and add salt to the pot

This dish is not only delicious to eat, but also very attractive to look at, brown bacon, pale yellow pheasant feet, green peppers, although it looks oily, but it is very suitable for rice

Sure enough, as Mu Zhen expected, at noon, she was afraid that she would not have enough to eat, and later asked Qi Shi to choose another plate, and the whole two plates of pheasant paws fried meat were eaten cleanly

The little bun patted his bulging belly, obediently wiped his oily mouth with his own small hand towel, looked at his mother and said with satisfaction: "Niang Ming'er, you still fry this dish for me at noon."

Tan Ran, who was watching from the side, also looked pleading, looking at Mu Zhen, under the gaze of these two foodies, Mu Zhen nodded speechlessly in agreement

After eating, Mu Zhen was not idle, Qi collected the bowl and went to Zhao Baozhu to help Mu Zhen wash out the rest

If you have delicious food, how can you forget another foodie, if your godfather knows that he eats strange things and doesn't have his share, then he will definitely not live in peace

Left and right went to the village, Mu Zhen simply fried some more, and sent some to Jinshan and the village chief's house
