Chapter 11: Pheasant Stew with Mushrooms
Da Zhuang had a good harvest today, shooting four hares and three pheasants.
Dr. Lin asked for a hare, Da Zhuang left him the fattest one, and the pheasant originally wanted to keep one for Tang Shui'er to make up for his body.
Tang Shui'er simply stewed it while it was fresh.
Tang Shui'er scooped up the rice, steamed the rice first, then boiled the hot water, picked a small chicken and put it in the hot water basin, and took chopsticks to remove the hair.
His hands kept moving, and he said: "Da Zhuang, I heard Changhe say yesterday that he was going to catch fish this evening, you go and ask, if you have one, buy one from him back." ”
"Okay." Da Zhuang responded and immediately ran out.
Doctor Lin smiled: "Da Zhuang is a good one, willing to endure hardships." ”
"Not really." Tang Shui'er also smiled, "He, sometimes he talks too little, he won't say anything when he is hungry and hurt, and he hides everything in his heart." ”
Doctor Lin glanced at her, and saw that she was complaining, but her eyebrows and eyes were very gentle, and there was no dislike in her eyes, and she felt more and more in her heart that Tang Shui'er was not the kind of water-based poplar person.
Thinking like this, he was gradually attracted by the movements of Tang Shui'er's hands.
The pheasant was stripped of its fur and placed on the cutting board bare, only to see that the moment Tang Shui'er lifted the kitchen knife, the expression on his face became very serious.
The silver light flashed, and Dr. Lin didn't see her use too much force, as if the kitchen knife was so gently slashed along the pheasant's stomach, and then broke with both hands, and the bones in her chest were broken neatly.
"Have you ever practiced kung fu?" Dr. Lin asked in surprise.
"Kung Fu?" Tang Shui'er was puzzled and said honestly, "No." ”
Good guy, it's kind of interesting to be able to do it so neatly without practicing kung fu.
After digging out all the things in his stomach and rinsing them clean, Tang Shui'er hardly had to look at it, the knife in his hand seemed to be conscious, and he quickly cut the whole chicken and put it into the earthen pot prepared on the side.
Dr. Lin touched his beard, I dripped, how did I do it with my slender wrists?
Before the surprise passed, I saw Tang Shui'er take the ginger and green onions, and the knife fell in his hand, and the rhythmic sound of tuk tuk tuk sounded on the chopping board.
The more Dr. Lin looked at it, the more surprised he became, this knife skill was amazing!
Pour water into the pot, put the chicken on high heat, boil the chicken and remove it.
Pour oil into the cauldron, wait for the oil to heat up, add ginger slices and green onions, only stir-fry slightly, the fragrance in the pot will penetrate into the nose, Dr. Lin can't help but touch the empty stomach.
Tang Shui'er poured all the chicken into the cauldron, "bang", a hot air rose in the pot, the shovel in Tang Shui'er's hand stir-fried, the chicken slowly began to yellow, wrapped in a layer of oil, bubbling, and then poured soy sauce, the yellowed chicken was dyed with a very tempting color, and the fragrance began to hook the nose.
Dr. Lin smacked his lips and craned his neck to look into the pot.
Da Zhuang came in with a grass carp weighing more than two catties, with beads of sweat on the tip of his forehead and nose: "Shui'er, do you see this fish okay?" ”
"Okay, you can put it in the basket." Tang Shui'er poured the boiled chicken into the earthen pot, poured in the chopped shiitake mushrooms, covered the lid, got up and pinched his sleeves to wipe his sweat for him, "Go wash quickly, I'll eat when I'm ready." ”
Da Zhuang motionlessly let Tang Shui'er's hand dangle on his face, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes: "Eh, I'll go right away." ”
"Fool." Tang Shui'er scolded with a smile.
Picking up the fresh fish, Tang Shuier knocked the fish out directly with the back of the knife, and then began to scrape the scales to kill the fish, the blade stabbed and stabbed, and the scales flew out with the blade of the knife one by one, the technique was clean and neat, and the fish was cleaned in a few clicks.
The grass carp bought by Da Zhuang is thicker and the meat is delicate, so it is very suitable for steaming.
I wanted to have a spicy boiled fish fillet, but Tang Shui'er climbed the mountain for a day today, and her body was a little tired from not fully recovering, so how simple is it.
The oil pot was still hot, Tang Shui'er cut the mushrooms, stir-fried them with the greens, and they would soon be out of the pot.
Seeing that there were still two potatoes in the basket, Tang Shui'er asked Dr. Lin, "Can you eat spicy?" ”
Doctor Lin's eyes lit up: "Yes, what is the big lady going to do?" ”
Tang Shui'er replied with a smile: "Sour and hot shredded potatoes." ”
Hot and sour shredded potatoes? Dr. Lin smashed it and smashed his mouth, he had eaten stewed potatoes, and he had also eaten fried shredded potatoes, what is this sour and spicy way to eat?
The chili pepper was delivered by Sister-in-law Li's house last year, and the original Tang Shuier didn't like the spicy taste and almost never used it.
Tang Shui'er recalled all kinds of Sichuan dishes in the past, saliva couldn't stop secreting in her mouth, she was not a spicy person, but she had eaten too many bland dishes recently, and she always wanted to get something to stimulate her taste buds.
When Da Zhuang came out after taking a shower and changing his clothes, Tang Shui'er had just brought the small earthen pot to the table, Da Zhuang thought about it and took out a jar of wine from the cabinet.
Seeing this, Tang Shui'er quipped: "Why didn't I know that you still hid wine?" Say, what else are you hiding? ”
Da Zhuang's body stiffened for a moment, and when he saw that she was not really angry, he breathed a sigh of relief, and explained with a smile: "How dare I, the wine was brewed by myself before the Long River Chinese New Year, I don't drink alcohol on weekdays, and I took it out when Dr. Lin came." ”
Tang Shui'er laughed out loud, and put on a face with a feigned anger and said, "I don't dare, I don't want to eat yet." ”
Da Zhuang was not angry, let her make trouble, and poured a bowl of wine for Dr. Lin with an empty bowl.
Dr. Lin shook his head, he was so affectionate, and he was still expecting other people's red apricots to come out of the wall, hum.
"Eh, enough is enough, you can't drink too much when you're old."
