Chapter 143: The Role of Porcupine Thorns
Even Zhu Qing began to look at Cai Youyou with a curious expression.
He had eaten fried porcupine with bamboo shoots made by his grandfather, but he had never eaten any bamboo shoots and meat buns. I don't know what kind of meal this girl who looks younger than him can make.
Wang Fatzi didn't say a word, and began to process porcupine into meat filling, Cai Youyou was responsible for processing bamboo shoots and preparing condiments, while Mo Xun began to make noodles, and the three of them worked together and cooperated very tacitly.
Waiting for Wang Fatzi to chop the meat filling, Cai Youyou divided it five or six times, added water boiled with peppercorns and ingredients to the meat filling, and kept stirring the meat filling in one direction to draw water for the meat filling.
Only after the meat filling has been beaten with water, the taste will be more tender.
In addition, the water boiled with Sichuan pepper and large ingredients also helps to remove the fishy smell in the meat and make the taste better.
After five or six times of boiling water, all of which were beaten into the meat filling, Cai Youyou began to stir the meat filling, while adding minced green onions, minced ginger, soy sauce, salt, homemade chicken essence, and sugar, which can play a role in improving freshness, and beat an egg, which can make the meat filling more smooth and tender, and also to lock in the moisture of the meat filling.
Stir the minced meat in the same direction, beat the minced meat until it is strong, add the diced bamboo shoots that have been blanched in advance and stir well, and the work of preparing the minced meat is completed.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Cai just adjusted a meat filling, and it took so much thought and effort, and Zhu Qing, who was watching silently, began to shine with his eyes, and looked at Cai Youyou with great interest.
At this moment, his gaze was suddenly blocked by a tall figure.
"How long does it take for the dough to rise?" Mo Xun pretended to inadvertently block Zhu Qing's gaze at Cai Youyou, and asked.
"Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise for an hour or so." Cai Youyou replied without raising his head.
She didn't notice Zhu Qing's gaze, so naturally it was impossible to know, Mo Xun, who was in charge of the face, spoke to her while not forgetting to glance at Zhu Qing with a warning gaze.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Qing, who has lived in Cui Weixing since he was a child and has not experienced the baptism and impact of human civilization, does not understand the meaning contained in Mo Xun's gaze, but tries to cross Mo Xun and continue to watch Xiao Cai prepare meat filling.
As a person who has passed the sixtieth year, the wine man only thinks it is very interesting when he sees this scene.
Because of these young guests from afar, his grandson, who was always silent, his facial expressions were actually enriched.
Since the dough had not yet risen, everyone stopped preparing for dinner and was invited to the living room of the bamboo building by the wine lord to taste the bamboo leaf tea made by the wine man in his spare time.
Cai Youyou suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Old man, can you tell me what the porcupine thorns are for, and why are you collecting them?" ”
"Porcupine spines, which are usually used to make high-level fishing buoys used by food hunters, may have been used before. Moreover, it is also a medicinal material, which has the effects of lowering blood pressure, ventilation, analgesia, blood circulation, removing blood stasis, dispelling wind, and channeling. Of course, I don't know much about pharmacy, I only know that if you use it to soak in wine, it can clear away heat and detoxify, activate meridians, and promote qi. ”
