Chapter Seventy-Five: Stone-Roasted Rat Meat

As soon as Xiao Ding heard the meat, he immediately drooled, and he couldn't get enough of it, so he hurriedly responded: "Of course, Xiao Ding likes to eat meat the most." Baidu: Real name +"

Meng Xiyao said: "Then hurry up and take me to that vole nest." ”

As soon as he heard the vole, Xiao Ding's mind immediately appeared with the appearance of an ugly mouse with a conical body and a long tail, and he was so frightened that he shirked it and said, "Big brother, you don't want to eat mice, right?" ”

Meng Xiyao smiled and said, "It's not a mouse, it's a vole." ”

Xiao Ding shook his head and said, "Xiao Ding doesn't eat mice, rats are poisonous." ”

Meng Xiyao explained: "Voles are edible, don't worry, Xiaoding." ”

Xiao Ding still shook his head, his preconceived subjective consciousness made him instinctively resist eating rat meat.

"Big brother, if you want to eat, I'll take you to catch mice, but Xiao Ding won't eat it."

Meng Xiyao nodded and said, "Okay, take me over first, and don't beg me later." ”

Xiao Ding swore solemnly: "Xiao Ding don't eat rat meat." ”

Meng Xiyao spit out the straw in his mouth, this time he had something good to eat, and continued: "Xiaoding, go and help me steal a handful of salt." ”

Xiao Ding nodded, tiptoed past the jailer who was dozing off, it was too easy to do this job with his size, because he was not at all inconspicuous, he wiped a handful into the salt shaker and put it in a bag, and ran away.

Meng Xiyao held my determination to eat meat, worked for half an hour, and finally caught two little voles.

Meng Xiyao found a sharp stone, grinded off the fur of the mouse, disemboweled, took out the intestines, and after bleeding, shook his hand to shake off all the remaining dirt, and finally wiped the rat meat with a large handful of straw rods for later use.

In the Lingnan area, there is a saying among the people: eat one rat and be three chickens.

Voles are not only delicious, but also high in protein and rich in nutrients. As long as it is cooked properly, rat meat also has the effect of nourishing yin and aphrodisiac and hair growth.

The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that vole meat can be used as medicine, which has the effect of replenishing deficiency and correcting and nourishing qi and blood.

Cantonese people call voles Jialu and Tianlu, and are known for a series of rat meat dishes such as boiled rat meat, steamed rat meat, braised rat slices in oil, fried rat slices with asparagus, and red stewed vole pot.

The most popular way to eat in Fujian. It is to catch the vole, first remove the hair and then go to the intestines, wash and then smoke and roast with chaff or rice sugar, to be roasted into a sauce yellow, with pork, winter bamboo shoots, accompanied by garlic, ginger, water wine, after stir-frying, you can get out of the pot, and then sip two sips of wine, just thinking about it is mouthwatering.

Of course, Meng Xiyao couldn't cook rat meat so richly at this moment. You can only use salt to wipe the vole inside and out.

Seeing Meng Xiyao's imperative appearance, Xiao Ding still persuaded on the side: "Big brother, do you really want to eat rat meat?" Don't do that......"

Meng Xiyao chuckled lightly, continued to work hard, and got the extremely dry straw right. Put the chain on the straw pole and smash it with the stone, bursting out a few sparks.

The stalk that was scorched by the high temperature of the sun without any moisture had a very low ignition point, and with a "whew", the flame flew half a foot high.

Meng Xiyao made a pit in the ground with iron chains, threw all the burning straw stalks into it, and then placed a layer of volcanic rock rubble. Then the rat meat was spread up, sprinkled with a handful of salt, and buried the fire pit.

Stone roasting was originally a very primitive way of eating in China, and it has become popular in Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and other places in recent years. In Shantou, Guangdong, some restaurants have also launched stone roast cooking series, which are favored by the majority of diners because of their "back to basics" eating method.

Volcanic rocks are highly susceptible to heat. It can be heated up to 400°C quickly, and since the stone can maintain a relatively constant temperature, when the straw is extinguished, the volcanic rock can still maintain a high temperature to heat the rat meat.

At the same time, because the stone is stable and constant, it will not burn the food during the cooking process. It will only make the appearance of the rat meat slightly crispy, but it will appear to have a unique flavor, and the high temperature locks the original juice of the meat, which retains the natural flavor of the food to the greatest extent, and tastes excellent.

Meng Xiyao didn't care about the hot rat meat, so he hurriedly tore a small piece and threw it into his mouth.

Cooking at high temperatures retains the natural taste and texture of the food, and prevents the loss of juice and nutrients, although the rat meat is only seasoned with salt, but for the hungry Meng Xiyao, it is simply the most delicious thing he has ever eaten in his life.

Meng Xiyao ate the stone-roasted vole in two or three clicks, weighed it in his heart, and finally thought that the most delicious thing should be the dessert made by Sikong Yao.

The aroma of stone-roasted rat meat overflowed, which made Xiao Ding salivate.

Meng Xiyao raised the remaining vole in front of Xiao Ding, and said with a smile: "Eat?" ”

Xiao Ding smiled innocently, and finally stretched out his hand, the food is current, and it is difficult to resist.

At the same time, Fulong Village, the main hall of the village.

Sikong Yao shouted at Sha Fengzhi disdainfully: "Hey, what are you looking for me to do today?" ”

Sha Fengzhi sighed, Sikong Yao has been coming to Fulongzhai for a long time, why is he still so angry.

"Sikong Yao, I said that you have been here for a long time, and the identity of the chief pastry chef of Fulongzhai has been in place for many days, you see that Wang Hong regards you as a member of our Fulongzhai, can't you put your heart into our Fulongzhai?"

Sikong Yao glanced at Sha Fengzhi and sneered: "I am the chief pastry chef of Fulong Village, but it doesn't mean that I am from Fulong Village, when the time is ripe, when the opportunity comes, I will definitely escape." ”

Sha Fengzhi said again: "This is not good, now those prisoners are used to your problems, that day when you went out to buy a silicone spatula, Chen Da belly cooked, and immediately shouted that the prisoners would strike, if you run away, my Fulong Village will be over." ”

Sikong Yao said indifferently: "What does it matter to me about the life and death of your Fulong Village?" ”

Sha Fengzhi shook his head and said, "You can't be like this, Fulongzhai has been raising you for so many days, you always think of some kindness, right?" ”

"I'll go, feelings you or my life-saving benefactor, right? Make no mistake, who saved you in the Cheung Son Mountains? ”

"Having said that, I really don't owe you anything to Fulongzhai, right, when a prisoner treats you like you, it can be regarded as raising my eyebrows."

"Okay, okay, so much nonsense, what exactly do you want to say?"

Sha Fengzhi grinned, finished his polite words, and finally got to the point, and said: "That's the case, I will celebrate my fortieth birthday next month, I want you to help, I want to invite all the people from the cottage around me to congratulate me on my birthday, they are all first-class characters, and Fulongzhai can't snub them." It's not that you don't know Chen Da's belly's craftsmanship, it's too embarrassing, see if you can help make a few dishes, don't look like our Fulongzhai is too cold. ”

Sikong Yao responded: "Oh, you want me to make you something to eat, right?" ”

Sha Fengzhi smiled and nodded, the two-meter-tall man was stunned that he couldn't put up a stand in front of Sikong Yao, after all, the entire plan depended on Sikong Yao.

Sikong Yao also smiled, nodded, and then snorted coldly and said, "No way." ”

Sha Fengzhi had long expected that Sikong Yao would definitely not be good at talking, and if he wanted to bargain on the ground, he had to throw out a high price first, so he lowered his identity at this moment, and said: "Uh, yes, a few dishes are too hard, or you can make us a dessert with your face, I heard Wang Hong say that the soufflé you made last time is perfect." ”

Sikong Yao once again rejected Sha Fengzhi's request and said, "I don't want it." ”

Sha Fengzhi said again: "Sikong Yao, if you don't help me make soufflé, I'll help you loosen the chains of your hands and feet on the grilled fish." ”

It's okay not to mention Meng Xiyao, but when Meng Xiyao Sikong Yao's anger is mentioned, Sha Fengzhi's previous two or three times of backsliding has always made Sikong Yao feel unhappy, and he finally forgot about it, but Sha Fengzhi didn't open which pot to mention.

Sikong Yao reprimanded: "I don't believe you smiling tiger, I advise you to die of this heart, I won't agree to you." ”

After speaking, Sikong Yao turned his head and left, never wanting to talk to Sha Fengzhi again.

Seeing that Sikong Yao's attitude was so resolute, Sha Fengzhi knew that Meng Xiyao was definitely her weakness, so he immediately grabbed it, raised the sound bei, and deliberately said to the air: "Alas, it's just that, it's not a swing, it's still more important to pioneer the work." Huanggang, you ask Lao Xu to speed up the progress a little more, don't let those prisoners be lazy. ”

"Wait!"

As soon as Sikong Yao shouted the order, Sha Fengzhi knew that she had taken the bait.

Sha Fengzhi pretended that nothing had happened, and said, "What? Changed attention? ”

Sikong Yao said coldly: "It's not impossible to help you set up a birthday banquet, but I have one condition." ”

As long as Sikong Yao agreed, it was easy to say anything, Sha Fengzhi said proudly: "Just say what conditions!" ”

Sikong Yao spat out word by word: "Let Meng Xiyao come back to help me." ”

Sha Fengzhi pondered for a long time, I was afraid that something was wrong, it would be too dangerous to let Meng Xiyao come back. From the very beginning, Sha Fengzhi wanted to kill Meng Xiyao, but he didn't want to bear an ungrateful infamy, he just wanted to pretend to be Lei Gang's hand, and now Sikong Yao asked him to get Meng Xiyao back, of course this is not possible.

Sha Fengzhi shirked and said: "No, it can't be done, the pioneering work has not been completed yet, and there are not enough people over there." ”

Sikong Yao also didn't give in, and said with a tough attitude: "Then don't talk about everything, the master of the sand village who doesn't talk is a word, goodbye!" ”

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Sha Fengzhi finally softened, compared with the eradication of Feihuang Village, Meng Xiyao was just an eagle with unfledged wings, so it seemed insignificant.

After thinking about it, Sha Fengzhi still felt that it was important to annex the mountain, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, it's up to you, but after the banquet, that kid still has to go back to pioneering." ”
