Chapter 296: Roasted Whole Rabbit
Originally, dinner was ready, Zhou Yu stewed a pot of wild fruit and multigrain porridge, fried cucumbers, green peppers and other vegetarian dishes, plus the game brought from home, it was also rich. But because Zhou Hu offended Xiaoxiao, this guy was afraid that Xiaoxiao would always chase him with a kitchen knife in the future, so in order to atone for his sins, he actually wanted to do it himself and roast a whole rabbit.
As soon as they heard the name of this dish, the three of them laughed, some heard of roasting whole sheep, and some roasted suckling pig roasted camel, but they had never heard of roasted whole rabbit.
Zhou Hu pursed his lips and said disdainfully: "I said you don't laugh, it's not your fault that you say ignorance, but when others say the truth and you still laugh at others for being ignorant, it's your fault, you haven't heard it doesn't mean that you don't have this thing."
Brother Ergou, come over and give me a hand, go to the pond and get me a few larger lotus leaves first, I have to let you swallow your tongue tonight. ”
Zhou Yu shook his head, but he didn't object, just let this guy toss, anyway, it can bring joy to everyone, why not?
Then Zhou Yu rowed a raft and drove Qingqing to the pond to pick two large lotus leaves, while Zhou Hu cleaned up the hare under a small surveillance, and then sprinkled salt inside and out.
In the open space by the pond, Zhou Hu dug a big pit with an iron shovel, separated it by a bluestone slab in the middle, and then opened a square gap under the bluestone as a stove door, and then filled the inside of the hare with lotus leaves, wrapped it with lotus leaves on the outside, and then used the red mud of the good to coat the surface with a thick layer and put it on the bluestone slab, and sealed it with soil after the most luge.
After completing these, Zhou Hu found some dried pine branches and started a fire under the bluestone slab, while Zhou Yu brought a large basin of water and put it beside him, and held a big broom in his hand to guard it. Anyway, lighting a fire in the mountains is no joke. Carelessness is a great disaster, so you must be careful.
Dried pine resin crackles in the earthen stove. After a while, the earthen stove was red, and the fire grew stronger and stronger. Smoke billowed from the earthen stove.
After being choked a few times, Zhou Hu couldn't stand it, turned to Zhou Yu and said: "Brother Ergou, you burn it for a while, brother, I can't choke, cough cough, there is a little mistake today, you should find a dry place to get an earthen stove." ”
Zhuge Xiaoxiao looked fresh, and hurriedly ran over without waiting for Zhou Yu to speak, and waved his hand magnificently. Said heartily: "Okay, you all rest, I'll come." With that, he picked up a handful of branches and stuffed them into the earthen stove.
Unexpectedly, because Xiaoxiao had a little too many branches, a puff of wolf smoke suddenly gushed out of the earthen stove, choking Xiaoxiao, who was panting with his mouth open, and followed Zhou Hu with his chest covered. For a while, there was a coughing sound of a man and a woman on the edge of the pond, and it was really a sound that resounded in the sky.
There was no way for Zhou Yu to take over the burden, because he learned the lessons of the previous two. Zhou Yu grabbed the branch and slowly stuffed a small amount into the earthen stove, not to mention, the wolf smoke this time was much smaller. As for Qingqing, she will take care of Xiaoxiao again at this time.
More than twenty minutes later, Zhou Hu and Xiaoxiao, who were coughing and coughing, finally came back. Seeing that Zhou Yu was still adding branches to it, Zhou Hu hurriedly shouted: "Brother Ergou, stop quickly, we are roasting rabbits." It's not steelmaking. If you cook it the way you do, this rabbit will have to turn into carbon. Oops. Luckily, the red mud I just made was thick, otherwise this big fat rabbit would have ruined you. ”
Zhou Yu wiped the sweat from his face. Barely widened his eyes red from wolf smoke. Due to the smoky fire and the hot weather and sweating a lot, and now the relationship between the two has not been made public, Qingqing is embarrassed to be too considerate to Zhou Yu in front of outsiders, and as a result, Zhou Yu has now become a big face.
"Huzi, why are you so wrong? I think your kid is more ruthless than Huang Shiren, okay, I've worked hard to make a fire, isn't it, you kid is capable? ”
"Hey, Brother Ergou, Saorui Saorui, I'm not in a hurry, as a reward for you, I declare that today's rabbit tail will be yours. Ha Lu Ha! ”
After listening to Zhou Hu's words, Zhou Yu did not add branches to the earthen stove, but directly sealed the earthen stove with good red clay.
According to Zhou Hu, the fire burned in front is the foundation, and the most important thing is that it is simmered after the most, because the taste begins to slowly seep into the rabbit meat at this time, so this time will take at least twenty minutes.
Zhou Yu used this time to give the animals a whole meal, and the remaining three were all young people, and Zhou Hu was also a thief, and after a wild meal, half an hour passed.
A few people laughed and carried the table to the edge of the pond, and the two girls brought the dishes and chopsticks and fried vegetables. At this time, Zhou Yu also finished feeding the animals, and Zhou Hu led the two girls to the stream next to them to wash their faces, and then came to the earthen stove with great interest.
The two brothers carefully cracked open the red mud on it, because the original mud was dried by the fire, so it was not difficult to get it up one by one, and after a while, the roasted whole rabbit wrapped in red mud wrapped in red mud was revealed on the bluestone slab.
Qingqing was holding a big plate, Xiaoxiao was holding a kitchen knife, and the two girls stared at the mass of things wrapped in red mud with excited expressions, their big eyes showing excitement and curiosity.
At this time, the temperature in the earthen stove was still very high, and Zhou Hu and Zhou Yu each used two thicker branches to take out things and put them on the grass to cool for a while.
"Zhou Hu, hurry up, I can't wait, hurry up, I want to eat roasted whole rabbit!"
Listening to this female man's words, Zhou Hu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly carried the slightly cooler roasted whole rabbit to the dining table.
As usual, Zhou Hu smashed the red mud outside, revealing the still green lotus leaves inside. The moment the lotus leaves were revealed, the four of them smelled a faint fresh and attractive meat fragrance. Qingqing hurriedly brought the plate and asked Zhou Hu to put the roasted whole rabbit wrapped in lotus leaves.
Swallowing his saliva fiercely, Zhou Hu said a little proudly: "What's the matter, I said three, this lotus leaf hasn't been opened yet, is it all drooling?" As the biggest contributor tonight, do you think I'm a hind scorer? ”
The three of them didn't speak, they all looked at this shameless guy, saying that how many good things can the rabbit have left except for its two hind legs? I'm really embarrassed to say this.
Seeing that no one took care of him, Zhou Hu was not angry, anyway, it was just a joke just now, if you want to say that it is possible to grab the hind legs with Brother Ergou, but now there are girls here, even if you are really embarrassed to eat for yourself.
Zhou Hu also stopped talking, and slowly peeled off the lotus leaf with his two hands. Suddenly, a fragrance that was 100 times richer than just now filled the surroundings of several people, and when they smelled it carefully, the fragrance of lotus leaves was mixed with the fragrance of meat, and the end made the mouth water.
At this time, the roasted whole rabbit on the plate finally showed its true face. On the white porcelain plate, a layer of emerald green lotus leaves, the rabbit roasted on the lotus leaves is bright in color, fragrant, and the oil is almost invisible on the absorption surface of the lotus leaves.
Seeing that the delicacy was in front of him, Zhou Yu couldn't help but run to the kitchen and bring out the last bottle of wine to the table, and each person poured a bowl.
Xiaoxiao's eyes were straight at this time, and he waved the kitchen knife in his hand to look at a few pieces and taste them first, but was stopped by Zhou Hu.
Looking at Xiao Xiao, who was wielding a kitchen knife, Zhou Hu also had a headache with this hob meat, and said with a wry smile: "I said grandma, what have you been doing with a kitchen knife?" If you don't need a knife to eat roasted whole rabbit, you have to break it by hand to have a taste. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out the lotus leaf stuffed in the inner cavity of the hare, and then handed it to Xiaoxiao, who had torn off a dry and burnt yellow hind leg with the fragrance of lotus leaves, and then tore off the other hind leg and handed it to Qingqing.
At first, the two girls were a little embarrassed, but under the concession of the two men, they still happily grabbed the rabbit leg and took a small bite. And because the fat has seeped into the lotus leaves, the meat is tender and has a dry feeling.
The two girls were not polite at this time, and sat on the bench and tasted slowly.
Smelling this tempting fragrance and looking at the eating appearance of the two beauties, Zhou Yu swallowed his saliva fiercely and urged: "Huzi, hurry up and give my brother a piece, just the front legs." ”
Zhou Hu despised it in his heart, what do you call it a front leg? The two hind legs are now gone, and only the two front legs are the best part.
However, Zhou Hu didn't listen to Zhou Yu's words, and after rolling his eyes, he fixed his eyes on the little short tail that roasted the whole rabbit. When he was peeling the skin just now, Zhou Hu suddenly had a bad taste, and directly left the rabbit's tail on it without cutting it off, but the hair should be plucked, and it was still very clean.
With a hard pull, the little short tail was dragged down, Zhou Hu held his hands in front of Zhou Yu's mouth, and said with a sneer: "Brother Ergou, this is the essence, please use it." ”
Looking at the little tail in front of him, Zhou Yu nodded helplessly, and said in his mouth: "Good brother, you are so good to your brother." As he spoke, he grabbed the little tail and stuffed it into his mouth at once, chewing it vigorously......
A bright moon shines in the sky, Phoenix Mountain is shrouded in thousands of wisps of silver light, the wind is clear, the cicadas are chirping, the trees are swaying, and the spring water is murmuring......
On this beautiful moonlit night, four young people sat by the cool and fresh pond, tasting the delicious roasted whole rabbit, crisp and smooth light vegetables, and drinking a few sips of fragrant and mellow wine from time to time, feeling that life is so fresh and beautiful.
After dinner, the four of them quickly cleaned up the table, Xiaoxiao pestered Zhou Hu to teach her to ride a donkey, and Zhou Yu and Qingqing secretly sneaked to the creek with Huahua holding the toothless rabbit.
At Zhou Hu's suggestion, Xiaoxiao changed into a pair of jeans, is it convenient to ride a donkey in a skirt? Xiaoxiao rode the second donkey under the care of Zhou Hu and jogged a few laps, screaming excitedly at the girl, and the last little was not enjoyable, and he was afraid of falling alone, so he called Zhou Hu to the back of the donkey, and the two rode on the same donkey. (To be continued......)
