Chapter 036: Let the Bamboo Rat Go
It rained that night and did not stop until the next day, and the heavens and the earth were washed and refreshed.
Qin Fei sat at the door and watched the rain for a while, but he didn't know what to see about this rain, and when he came back to his senses, it was almost noon.
I suddenly remembered that I didn't have a canopy, and if it rained at night, the food stalls in the night market would not be able to open.
The indoor area is small, and there is no room for two tables.
Qin Fei went to buy a canvas, tossed it around, and set up a canopy in front of the store.
After doing this, Chen Sanye and Ayi sent snails and bamboo sticks.
"Boss Qin, I'm afraid I won't be able to send you bamboo sticks after a while. Chen Sanye's face was embarrassed.
"Why is this?" Although Qin Fei was asking, he guessed that the busy farming season was coming, and no one had cut bamboo sticks by hand.
"Out of nowhere, a group of bamboo civets came up and gnawed down all the bamboos in the mountains. Chen Sanye gritted his teeth, it was all money.
The bamboo sticks required by Qin Fei must be cut from freshly cut bamboo, as dead bamboo is easy to mold and affects health.
The name sounds a little rusty, but it also has a name, a bamboo rat.
In Qin Fei's time, some people kept bamboo rats as pets, but more often they used bamboo rats as foodstuffs.
Bamboo rat meat is delicate, delicious and delicious, and it is a game with high nutritional value, but low fat and low cholesterol.
It is recorded in the "Materia Medica": "The meat of bamboo rats is sweet, flat and non-toxic." Nourish qi and detoxify. ”
"Take me to see it. Qin Fei's eyes lit up.
Chen Sanye and Ayi shuddered, Qin Fei's eyes were a little familiar.
As the two came to the mountain behind the village, the bamboos did fall in pieces, but they were not all caused by bamboo rats, and last night's heavy rain also broke a lot of bamboo.
The sound of rain in the bamboo forest is dripping, but if you listen carefully, there is a clattering sound of grinding teeth, dense, if you pass by in the middle of the night, you will definitely be frightened.
Qin Fei followed the sound, lifted a bamboo branch and bamboo leaves, and saw a fat and chubby bamboo rat gnawing on the bamboo.
This bamboo rat didn't know whether it was stupid or stupid, and it was not afraid of people, so he glanced at Qin Fei and continued to hold the bamboo piece with his front paws to gnaw.
The yellowed front teeth are like the most powerful file, grinding the bamboo into powder, and this is how the grinding sound is made.
Qin Fei grabbed the bamboo rat's little tail and lifted it up, it was really not small, at least six or seven catties in weight.
The bamboo rat was caught, and the little eyes were indescribably confused, and then they reacted and made a whirring demonstration, but it was too late.
"Boss Qin, can you eat this bamboo civet?" In Chen Sanye's eyes, this is a big rat, and it makes people uncomfortable to watch.
"Absolutely. "Qin Fei once watched an Internet celebrity anchor cook bamboo rats, and the method is very simple, even if there is no system to instill cooking skills, it can still be handled.
"Later, when you send me snails, catch one or two big bamboo rats by the way, and I will collect three cents per catty. As Qin Fei spoke, he was about to say goodbye, and went back to stew the bamboo rat quickly, he was also a complete foodie, and he had long wanted to taste this game.
Chen Sanye pursed his lips, Boss Qin is really a man standing at the top of the food chain, there is nothing that he can't eat.
But hearing that Boss Qin was going to spend money to buy bamboo rats, Chen Sanye's worries were swept away, and he hurriedly kept Qin Fei: "It's almost noon, if Boss Qin doesn't dislike it, let's have a meal and go back to the city." ”
It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Qin Fei had no choice but to go to Chen Sanye's house.
Chen Sanye's house, like other villagers, is an adobe thatched house, and the house is not well lit, but it is very tidy.
There are five or six people in the family, a wife, two sons, the eldest son married a daughter-in-law a few years ago, the family is very kind, and they warmly welcomed Qin Fei's arrival.
Drinking tea, chatting a few words of homely things, and soon there was no topic, Qin Fei said, "I'll go stew this bamboo rat." ”
"Boss Qin finally came to the house as a guest, how can he let you cook?" Chen Sanye will never let him, besides, can this big mouse really get into the pot?
However, under Qin Fei's strong request, Chen Sanye had no choice but to let it go.
Qin Fei borrowed a knife, carried the bamboo rat and went to the yard.
Having said that, this bamboo rat is really cute, fluffy and silly, no wonder someone would keep it as a pet.
"You're prone to illness when you're in the rain. Qin Fei muttered, and slaughtered the bamboo rat.
Peel and remove the dirt, chop into small pieces, add green onions, ginger and garlic, stir-fry first, then add water and soybeans to stew, boil over high heat and then turn to low heat and simmer.
The eldest daughter-in-law is a good cook, and she has made three or five home-cooked dishes in a while, and I heard that Qin Fei is a restaurant-opener, so she has the heart to compete, and she has done her best.
After a while, the meal was served and unusually rich.
There are bacon fried bamboo shoots, chicken soup, fried chicken, fried cabbage...... More than a dozen home-cooked dishes, both in color and taste, are very good, Qin Fei couldn't help but praise after tasting it: "The bacon is fat but not greasy, the chicken is soft but not rotten, good craftsmanship." ”
The daughter-in-law could get Qin Fei's praise, and Chen Sanye also felt that his face was bright, and hurriedly toasted Qin Fei.
This wine is a farmer's own rice wine, which is a little cloudy, but it tastes very good.
There is a poem that is well written, Mo laughs at the farmer's wine, and the guests are full of chickens and dolphins in the harvest year.
It is written with the enthusiasm and generosity of the peasants.
"I almost forgot, my bamboo rat stew. Qin Fei patted his head, after simmering for so long, it should be ready to come out of the pot, so he went to get it.
The family at the dinner table was originally happy, but suddenly his face sank, and the youngest son whispered: "Daddy, can you stop eating that big mouse later?"
Chen Sanye hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "What kind of identity is Boss Qin, if you don't eat, you won't give him face, wait a while, one bowl per person, and eat less to serve!"
The two sons and a daughter-in-law all looked bitter and nodded.
After a while, Qin Fei directly brought the pot up, the soybeans were stewed until they were plump, bright and yellow, and the bamboo rat meat was crystal clear, and the soup was white.
After sprinkling some chopped green onions, Qin Fei ordered, "You can eat it." ”
As he spoke, Qin Fei took the lead in serving a bowl by himself, drank a mouthful of soup, rich and fragrant, chewed a bite of bamboo rat meat, elastic teeth, full of collagen, and a spoonful of soybeans, which was fragrant.
Although Qin Fei behaved very deliciously, no one in Chen Sanye's family dared to put down chopsticks, Chen Sanye was anxious, picked up his youngest son's bowl and scooped a full bowl: "Try Boss Qin's craftsmanship well, ordinary people don't have this opportunity." ”
Immediately afterwards, he filled the bowls of his eldest son, daughter-in-law, and wife, and a pot of bamboo rat soup bottomed out, and Chen Sanye breathed a sigh of relief, so that he didn't have to eat.
What is called witty, Jiang Lao is spicy, give yourself thirty-two praises and are not afraid of pride, Chen Sanye thought like this.
