Chapter 258: Fragrant Bamboo Roasted Pheasant [Asking for Recommendation Votes]
"And put them away? Doesn't it seem like we're a little bored? Yan Yuan said
The four of them looked at each other, and they really felt a little bored.
"Then according to you, do you want to eat these sparrows?" Liu Ruxuan asked.
Yan Yuan naturally didn't dare to answer this question rashly. He really wanted to eat the sparrow. This guy has always been very curious about what he has never eaten.
"No, no, this sparrow is so small that it's not enough for me. I just think that we finally caught them, scared them half to death, and let them go, isn't it too boring, it should also be regarded as cruelty to small animals. If they are killed and eaten, it is not considered animal cruelty. Yan Yuan said.
Yan Yuan's question is not without nonsense. A few years ago, a domestic pharmaceutical company that extracted bile from live bears was blamed, and public opinion at home and abroad condemned it. In particular, some celebrities even raised their arms and thought that they were abusing animals. According to their white spoon point of view, taking the gall should give the bear a refreshing death, not as a tool to take the gall, which is extremely reasonable.
It was very strange for Ebebe to hear the news in the fish restaurant at that time, and he couldn't figure it out. These bears are so concerned about the bears, and it is said that they are very concerned about the hundreds of bears, and they should be very charitable. But Jiangbian couldn't figure it out, in the same year, hundreds of domestic school bus accidents died, why couldn't these people raise their arms?
"I can't let you eat such a cute bird anyway." When Liu Ruxuan couldn't explain the reason, she talked to Yan Yuan about politics.
Yan Yuan naturally has to maintain a high degree of consistency with Liu Ruxuan on major issues of right and wrong, "That's, such a cute sparrow, I can't bear to do it." Since my mother-in-law said so, I think it's better to let it go. ”
Liu Ruxuan also felt that the comrades who could change their mistakes were still good comrades, and decided to give Yan Yuan a chance to redeem his crimes, "Then you let all the birds go in the past." Don't let them get hurt. ”
"Don't worry. I'm the best at this. Yan Yuan ran over quickly.
Jiangbian is a little puzzled by Yan Yuan's words, just put a few birds, what else is there to do? That doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do.
Yan Yuan didn't use any special techniques, that is, he overturned the bamboo basket directly, and the little sparrows flew away. It's just that one of them hit the bamboo basket just now and was a little stunned, and he kept standing in place, spinning.
"It's none of my business, it knocked itself out." Yan Yuan turned around and explained.
The unlucky little sparrow spun around in place, and finally recovered, and when he saw that Yan Yuan had come to his side, he hurriedly flapped his wings and flew high.
Yan Yuan was still looking at Liu Ruxuan's eyes, but Liu Ruxuan kept staring at the little sparrow, and when she saw the little sparrow fly away, a smile appeared on her face.
Yan Yuan didn't know whether this smile was honey or a knife, and the woman's face was always difficult to understand.
When I looked back, the little sparrow was long gone.
Yan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but there was some regret in his heart, "It's a pity that I didn't taste the taste of fried sparrows, it's a pity." ”
It turned out that this guy really wanted to eat sparrows, but how dare he show it in front of Liu Ruxuan.
It doesn't matter if it's by the river, the little bit of meat from the sparrows really doesn't have anything to eat.
Jiangbian walked over and put away the bamboo basket, and whispered, "Actually, there is nothing good to eat in sparrows." It's all bones, not a bit of meat. If you want to eat game, I'll make you a special dish at noon. Last night, a few of my dogs came back from time to time with two pheasants. ”
"I don't want to eat sparrows, but I'm still interested in the pheasant you said." Yan Yuan flatly denied it, but his face was full of smiles. …,
"Okay, you go in first, I'll have to prepare some ingredients." Jiangbe said.
Jiang went back to the kitchen, picked up a knife, and walked out the door.
Not far from the riverside house there is a bamboo forest.
Yan Yuan also followed in a hurry.
"Brother, are you going to make a bamboo pheasant?" Yan Yuan is not a professional recruit, and he won seven or eight points in a guess.
"Pretty much." Jiangbian nodded.
There is skill in cutting bamboo, and if you cut it casually, this bamboo is really not so easy to cut. If you cut it straight, it's like breaking ten chopsticks with your hand, and it's sure to be broken endlessly. But if you cut it diagonally, as long as the knife is blunt from time to time, you can cut a big hole at will.
The riverside chooses a bamboo from the year, the bamboo is very tender, and the taste is more mellow. When making dishes, the aroma of bamboo is more pure. Looking at the age of bamboo may seem complicated, but in fact there are rules to follow.
In the bamboo of that year, the sepals of the bamboo shoots at the bottom of the bamboo have not yet rotted, or even intact. At a glance, you can tell that it was back then. The color of the bamboo is very different for many years, and the color of the bamboo is also very different.
Back then, the bamboo was also easier to cut, and after two or three knives, the riverside would cut down a mouthful of bamboo with a thick bowl and bowl to the ground.
"Hey, so easy to cut?" Yan Yuan was very surprised, such a thick bamboo was cut down to the ground by the riverside three or two times.
"What's so hard about that?" Jiangbe said.
"Can I try it?" Yan Yuan asked.
"Whatever you want." Yan Yuan said.
The bamboos in the bamboo forest are dense, and it is a waste if you don't cut them. Bamboo is not like other tree species, it can grow in a year, and even become a tree, this bamboo forest needs metabolism, if it is not cut, the bamboo forest will slow down the growth and reproduction, and finally the bamboo forest becomes senile.
The old man in the village said that in the early years of liberation, there was a large-scale drought, and the Lulu River reached the bottom, and all the grain in the village was eaten, and the village was hungry. A few families brought chickens into their homes, but they were too small to kill, and they had no food to feed, so they were left to fend for themselves.
But soon it was discovered that these chicks lived very moist, and the chickens seemed to be swollen every time. A family was very curious, touched it with his hand, and was surprised to find that there was food in the chicken bag.
In the second day, this household paid special attention to the movements of the chickens' white spoons, and found that they had all entered the bamboo forest.
After entering the bamboo forest, the chickens kept pecking on the ground, as if there was food on the ground.
When I looked closer, I found that there were indeed small pale yellow grains on the ground, like broken rice. When the wind blows, it seems to rain in the bamboo forest. All that fell was like broken rice.
When I looked up, I realized that all the bamboos had seeds, and as soon as the wind blew, they immediately fell.
The household hurriedly ran back to the village to report the good news, and the village will collect all the bamboo seeds, and the huge bamboo forest has collected thousands of catties of grain, so that the village has survived the difficulties.
However, after the bamboo forest blooms and bears seeds, it all dies at the end of the year. Later, some people in the village read the information and learned that the bamboo chose to bloom and bear seeds to maintain the continuation of the race when it was dying. Therefore, although all the bamboos in the bamboo forest died, the seeds that fell in the bamboo forest finally rained after a few years, and the bamboo grew again.
Jiangbian handed over the knife to Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan took the knife and slashed it.
Yan Yuan's strength was great, but he couldn't cut into the bamboo like the riverside, but bounced high and almost hit his forehead.
"I don't believe it." Yan Yuan slashed down again, but this time, he was careful to avoid the direction in which the knife bounced. Although he was not able to cut in, he did not create any danger. …,
Jiang Bian smiled, "If you look at my machete bamboo, you will know the reason." ”
Yan Yuan looked over at a glance and found that the bamboo stakes cut by the river were all oblique, and he naturally understood the mystery.
Yan Yuan adjusted the edge of the knife, and this time he finally cut into the bamboo.
It took six or seven knives to finally put the bamboo down, and Yan Yuan felt a sense of accomplishment.
At this time, Jiangbian had already sawed off several bamboo knots from the bamboo with the saw he had brought, and then returned home with these bamboo knots.
In addition to the magical allusion to this kind of bamboo in the mid-mountain village, it also has a characteristic, its bamboo fragrance is fresh, and the fragrance of bamboo leaves is also very strong, and it is also a raw material in the riverside formula. For this reason, several bamboos have been planted in the riverside space. By this time, it had become more than a dozen bamboos.
Jiangbian knew that if the fragrant bamboo roasted pheasant made of bamboo in the space was made, the taste would definitely be even more unique. But he couldn't just make bamboo knots out, so he came to this bamboo forest and took a few pieces of bamboo to cover his ears and eyes.
When I returned home, Jiangbian took the opportunity to replace the bamboo with the bamboo in the space, and the bamboo leaves were the bamboo leaves in the space. Even the water used for cooking comes from space.
I found a suitable piece of bamboo with one end closed by the river, then cut the pheasant in half, put it in the bamboo, added some salt to it, and then poured in an appropriate amount of space water. Then wrap the tender green bamboo leaves out of the space into a ball, stuff them into the bamboo tube, and firmly plug the unclosed end.
There has been a fire burning in the stove to keep warm, and the bamboo tube is directly put into the fire by the river, and it is placed diagonally in the fire to roast.
This bamboo is not easy to catch fire, and after roasting on the fire for a long time, only the skin is a little burnt, and the riverside is turned from time to time, so it is impossible to light it.
After a long while, white air finally came out of the bamboo tube, and a leisurely fragrance immediately permeated the kitchen.
"Oh, it's so fragrant. Riverside, can you eat it? "Liu Ruxuan is a layman, as soon as she smells the fragrance, she thinks she can eat it.
Xiao Yalin said with a smile, "If you eat it at this time, it is estimated that it is only three medium-rare." ”
"Oh, don't you already smell the fragrance?" Liu Ruxuan asked puzzled.
"When the fragrance comes out, it can only mean that the water inside has been boiled, and the surface of the chicken has begun to ripen, so the fragrance wafts out with the water vapor. But the chicken is still mostly raw. At least ten minutes of waiting. Xiao Yalin said.
