Chapter 59: Venison Porridge
"What about the prey?"
It would be strange if Xiao Hanyan answered.
Several cousins shook their heads in unison.
Didn't go out where is the prey? Aren't you in a hurry to hear the news?
"Then why don't you get out of here, standing here early in the morning and wanting to be beaten?"
Because my cousin has always been moody, all my cousins have run away, so it's better to go hunting.
Qin Wanwan packed up and went to the stream, saw the ingredients arranged by the little maid, and thought for a while that it was better to eat something light in the morning.
There are fish and shrimp in the stream, but Qin Wanwan doesn't want to get these things in the morning.
She picked up a piece of venison left over from yesterday's hunting, cut it into minced meat, and asked the little servant to make a fire and put the casserole on it.
It is better to use a casserole to make porridge, although they also have spare iron pots, but the pig iron pots are easy to rust, and Qin Wanwan doesn't like the black color very much.
Melt the animal fat in the bottom of the pan, throw in the venison foam and start stir-frying, and then start adding cold water when the stir-fry is fragrant.
If there is a condition, it must be better to add the broth, isn't it that as soon as it was on fire last night, Qin Wanwan gave all the broth to the horse to drink.
Now I have to use water, but the venison is a little dry and does not need to be simmered in stock.
Qin Wanwan's cooking always has a kind of magic, making you feel that the time around you will slow down, but she is able to present everything around her according to her own ideas.
For example, now, Xiao Hanyan is leaning against a big tree, pinching the fat squirrel and watching Qin Wanwan be busy in an orderly manner.
"Squeak??"
The fat squirrel was pinched by the hair on his neck, and did not dare to struggle violently, so he had to please and get angry.
It's a pity that this human doesn't understand.
"Don't scream, it's ugly! It's about the same as a mouse! ”
The fat squirrel wanted to defend itself, although it was a rat, but it was a noble squirrel, not one of the rats that impressed the underground.
But it would be strange if it could explain and justify it.
Obviously, Xiao Hanyan doesn't need its justification.
There was an undulating light in his eyes, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time.
Qin Wanwan waited for the water to boil and then went down to the washed rice grains, and then let the little maid continue to burn on the fire.
I kept stirring in the pot with a horse spoon, not hurrying, just like a puppet who didn't know how to be tired.
When the fragrance began to emanate, Qin Wanwan's hand did not stop, but he asked the little guy to remove the largest piece of wood, the fire became smaller, and the arc of the water boiling did not become smaller because the fire became smaller.
Qin Wanwan is not in a hurry, she has always been slow and logical.
She waited until the rice grains turned into rice flowers before she stopped stirring.
At this time, the fire under the pot was only a charcoal fire with no flames.
Throw in the crushed salt, chop up the wild vegetables that have been washed long ago, and pour them into the porridge.
"To prevent flying insects from entering, don't close the lid, just leave it like this, and wait until the heat becomes less before half-closing the lid!"
Qin Wanwan carefully instructed the little guy.
The little guy has long been hooked by this fragrance and has no other thoughts.
He watched all the steps, it was super simple, everything was taken locally, and nothing was added, but after the hands of this cook, the meat porridge that should be very fishy was fragrant and made the mouth water.
I can't figure it out, what is so special?
Qin Wanwan didn't care what the little guy thought.
She also has to deal with side dishes, because she is in the wild, there is no way to bring fresh vegetables, everything is taken nearby.
The fresh wild vegetables that were just delivered by the little maid were the freshly popped up shepherd's cabbage and amaranth.
These two kinds of wild vegetables are very distinctive, and the shepherd's cabbage has a unique aroma that no one can accept.
However, after the shepherd's cabbage is processed with the sourness and astringency on top, it tastes very good.
Amaranth has a sour taste and is a little astringent, but purslane will be very tender when blanched, which is its magic.
Qin Wanwan was fortunate to have studied with the master, although he would definitely not eat these things in the palace, but the master would say and paint, Qin Wanwan grew up in the countryside when he was a child, and he was also very familiar with wild vegetables.
So she always remembered.
Thinking about it at this time, I always feel that Master is very magical.
I saw that she asked the little maid to boil a pot of hot water alone, pressed the cleaned shepherd's cabbage with chopsticks with the bamboo fence she had just made and put it into the hot water, and after staying for two blinks, she took it out and put it into the cold water next to it.
After changing the pot of water and letting the little girl continue to boil, she began to busily take out the soaked shepherd's cabbage to control the moisture, and put it in a wooden bowl to add the contents of the seasoning bag she carried with her.
After a while, a plate of emerald shepherd's cabbage was arranged, and if they hadn't seen the whole process, everyone would have suspected that the shepherd's cabbage should still be freshly pulled out of the ground.
The hot water here is good, and the purslane must be blanched for a long time to be able to remove the astringency and stimulate that sticky feeling.
After tidying up in the same way, the porridge over there is no longer very hot.
A small ceramic bowl was served, and two side dishes were served.
"It's ready to eat!"
Qin Wanwan didn't say that she wouldn't cook because of what Xiao Hanyan had just done.
Xiao Hanyan looked at the breakfast that came in with one person, and frowned a little.
"What about yours?"
Qin Wanwan looked at Xiao Hanyan blankly.
What do you mean?
"I'm eating out!"
Isn't she a cook?
Then you must eat outside with the little maids.
"You're my fiancée, do you think it's appropriate for you to eat out?"
What's that?
Qin Wanwan's eyes widened.
Why did you become a fiancée again?
Can you not toss people so much?
"Sit down and eat obediently, I'll go get another one!"
Xiao Hanyan really couldn't see Qin Wanwan's big blank eyes, because he was afraid that he would not be tempted.
Walking out quickly, Qin Wanwan faced the fat squirrel that climbed into her arms.
"Do you know what's wrong with him?"
Fat Squirrel: "Squeak!! ”
Pointing out the direction of going out, the little mung bean's eyes were full of anger.
Qin Wanwan was amused by the little guy.
"He's really such a bully, then it's not easy for you to be alive!"
When the fat squirrel heard this, it wilted!
It also knows that it's not easy to be alive.
"Squeak-"
Qin Wanwan couldn't laugh, took out a small plate, scooped out a little porridge from his bowl and put it in the small plate, and handed it to it.
"I don't know if you can eat it, you try it, if it doesn't work, then you can continue to eat pine nuts!"
The fat squirrel jumped on the coffee table, and after two laps around the little saucer, sat down next to it.
He lowered his fluffy little head and licked the porridge on the small plate.
Then he froze.
Then came a hard time.
Xiao Hanyan came in with porridge and saw Qin Wanwan doting on a fat ball eating.
"You like this little thing so much?"
Xiao Hanyan saw that Qin Wanwan didn't eat a single bite.
"It's fun, it's smart, and it's funny!"
