Chapter 85: Eat Together
"This can't be done, how can I invite you to eat and let you take something, this rabbit, you keep it for later, I'll be back soon." Zhou Shuilian opened the door and walked out.
"Aunt Lian, then I won't eat it." Chen Xuhui made a gesture, picked up the back basket, and walked out.
"You kid." Zhou Shuilian stopped Chen Xuhui, looked at him with a resolute expression, and finally lost the battle, and said helplessly: "Then listen to you, next time, Aunt Lian will make you something to eat." ”
Chen Xuhui stopped his steps, put down the back basket in his hand, and took out a rabbit from it.
"Mother, I'll kill the rabbit, you steam the rice first." Mu Xiu rolled up his sleeves and went to pick up the rabbit in Chen Xuhui's hand.
"I'll kill you." Chen Xuhui glanced at Mu Xiu in surprise, she looked so weak that she dared to kill rabbits.
"That's okay, Brother Chen, I'll wash the onions and garlic." Mu Xiu is ready to be her best boy ginger rabbit.
"This snake did it all together." Chen Xuhui took out the snake again.
Snake meat is a rare ingredient, which in modern times, a plate of snake meat is also expensive, but at the moment, even if someone catches a snake, few people will do it, most of them are boiled in water or roasted to eat, the taste, is not very delicious.
"Brother Chen, I've already taken your rabbit, don't want the snake, keep it for you to eat." Mu Xiu said embarrassedly.
"I'm tired of eating this stuff."
"......" Mu Xiu was speechless for a while.
"In that case, why don't you take it out and sell it?"
"I'm like this, who dares to look for me." Chen Xuhui's tone was a little self-deprecating.
Chen Xuhui also wanted to exchange the prey he caught for money, but he went to the county seat with his things once, and he dismissed his idea, because the scars on his face were terrifying, which made him a little hideous, and people avoided him far away when they saw him.
In addition, selling things is a shady thing, and it is even more difficult for him to sell his prey in a strange place.
So later, Chen Xuhui simply ate the prey he hit, but secretly peeled off all the fur and collected it, he heard people say that those rich people loved animal fur in the past.
Although he didn't know how much these furs were worth, as long as he hunted them, whether it was rabbits, foxes, snakes or wild roe deer skins, he would stay, Chen Xuhui's heart was still full of expectations, thinking that these things, one day, could be sold to make money, and then he would be able to live a better life.
Chen Xuhui skillfully peeled off the rabbit skin, leaving only the rabbit meat, the snake had been skinned on the mountain just now, he directly put the snake meat and rabbit meat in the basin and took it into the kitchen.
"Mother, I'll cook the dishes, you and Brother Chen go out first." Mu Xiu was inconvenient to take out the seasoning, so he opened Zhou Shuilian and Chen Xuhui.
"Let's go, Xiaohui, I'll pour you a glass of water to drink, show this girl, cooking is better than mine, let's wait in the house, your Uncle Mu went to work in the city......" Zhou Shuilian pulled Chen Xuhui and left the kitchen while nagging.
When they left, Mu Xiu scooped out the water from the water tank and washed the rabbit and snake meat, and the snake meat was set aside to drain first.
Mu Xiu first cut the rabbit meat into strips, washed it repeatedly with water, put it aside and drain the water, add green onion and ginger, cooking wine, salt, boil water in the pot, and then put the drained rabbit meat into the basin to marinate for a while, pick out the green onion and ginger, add corn starch and grasp it well, put the rabbit meat strips into the pot and cook it out.
Pour out the boiling water in the pot, heat the oil pot, fry the pickled pepper, minced ginger, garlic and an appropriate amount of bean paste to bring out the fragrance, put in a handful of green peppercorns, then mix in boiling water, pour in the soup powder made by yourself, cover and boil for five minutes, then pour the rabbit meat in, and put the mushrooms that have just been picked into it, cover the lid and simmer over low heat.
After the rabbit meat is processed, Mu Xiu then pickles the snake meat with cooking wine for a while, and after the rabbit meat is cooked, clean the pot, then burn the oil until it is hot, cut the snake into segments, fry it until golden brown, take it out to control the oil, and wait until the oil temperature in the pot is ten percent hot, and then fry the snake section again, and take it out to control the oil.
While the pot is hot, pour in the green onion, ginger and chili peppers and stir-fry until the fragrance is fragrant, then add the snake segments, stir-fry with salt and pepper and stir-fry from the pot.
Chen Xuhui sat in the hall, smelling the smell of meat coming from outside, and his stomach began to "gurgle", he went into the mountains early in the morning, and the dry food he ate was just a nest, at this time, how could he stand the fragrance.
"Mother, it's so fragrant!" Li Pandi also woke up from a nap at this time, she sniffed hard, and then said to Mu Xiaocao.
Mu Xiaocao also cooks a lot at home, and when she smells this fragrance, she knows that Mu Xiu must not have used less oil, can the dishes fried in oil not be fragrant?
It's just that Chen Xuhui is Mu Xiu's life-saving benefactor, although Mu Xiaocao thinks that Mu Xiu is a loser, but he can't say it in front of Chen Xuhui at this time, so he can only sit quietly and sulk a little.
Zhou Shuilian naturally guessed that she had used a lot of oil, she looked at Mu Xiaocao's face was displeased, so she stood up and said to a few people with a smile: "I'll go serve dinner." ”
After a while, Mu Xiu walked in with the dishes, and Zhou Shuilian walked in with a pot of brown rice.
After the brown rice was placed on the table, Zhou Shuilian first gave Chen Xuhui a big bowl full of it, although it was brown rice, but there were not many people who often ate this kind of rice on weekdays, and Zhou Shuilian's big pot of brown rice was already the highest specification for entertaining guests.
"Brother Chen, how about you try what I did?" Mu Xiu handed the rice to Chen Xuhui.
Chen Xuhui was already hungry, he was no longer polite, after taking the rice, he sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat into his mouth, as soon as he entered it, he only felt a spicy fragrance straight to his throat, full of fragrant mouth, the delicious Chen Xuhui almost bit off his tongue, after eating the rabbit meat, he sandwiched another piece of snake meat, and his eyes lit up.
Mu Xiaocao and Zhou Shuilian also picked up the bowl and began to eat, Zhou Shuilian was okay, she had eaten many times in the provincial capital Mu Xiu's dishes, Mu Xiaocao was habitually bored to eat, and it took half a day to clip a piece of rabbit meat, she tore off the meat and gave it to Li Pandi to eat, and she sucked the bones hard, and then bit and ate, and finally spit out the bone slag.
Mu Xiu also saw Mu Xiaocao's actions, she was inexplicably a little sad, Mu Xiaocao is only 21 years old now, others encounter meat dishes that are rare to eat once a year, and they have already put chopsticks into the bowl, but looking at Mu Xiaocao, she obviously wants to eat, but she doesn't dare to clip more in her own home, so you can imagine how low her status in her mother-in-law's family is.
Chen Xuhui also seemed to notice this, he chopsticks one chopstick after another, kept pulling the rice, but the dishes were sandwiched slowly, so that soon a bowl of rice was stripped away, Zhou Shuilian hurriedly served him another bowl, "Xiaohui, eat slowly, there are still more dishes." ”
