Chapter 20: Salt-baked cashew nuts
"Brother Rong, what kind of prey is this?" An Xiaojiu walked over curiously, looking at the animal that Rong Jing was wrapped in a net, which was particularly novel.
In the world before her, hunting and everything she had only seen on TV.
When you see real game, you can't help but feel novel.
"It's a badger." A rare smile appeared on Rong Jing's face, and he put down the badger with some joy, "This badger fell into my trap and starved to death, although there is a lot less meat, but the fur is still good, I can still sell the skin to the store, and I can also exchange it for some money." ”
Hunting is easy to get meat, but it is rare to get the whole fur.
Sometimes, a whole fur is worth even more than a whole game.
This time he was able to get the whole fur, how could Jing Rong not be happy?
"This is a badger, it looks like a dog and a pig, it's scary."
An Xiaojiu pursed his lips and took a few steps back.
Although the badger was dead, An Xiaojiu still looked scared.
"Sister, this badger meat can be refined into oil, will you?"
"I will, but this ......"
An Xiaoqi looked at Rong Jing, this is the prey that Brother Rong hit, did he put it at home to eat or sell it...... An Xiaoqi thinks it's better to ask people's opinions first.
"Oil refining?"
Rong Jing seemed to hear this word for the first time.
An Xiaoqi explained softly, "It's just that there is a lot of white meat in the badger meat, and the white meat can be refined into oil, which is no worse than lard, and it should be very fragrant to stir-fry." ”
"Oh, in that case, I'll pull out the skin when I go back, and you can refine the oil and cut the meat or something."
"Okay."
"Ah, Brother Rong, how many pheasants are there?" An Xiaojiu heard a string of chickens crowing, and only then did he notice that Rong Jing was dragging a hemp rope in his hand, and the feet of several wild pheasants were tied to the rope.
Rong Jing scratched his head, "Yes, I caught it when I saw it, I can raise it with you, pick up eggs and eat them." ”
Before, he and his uncle were too lazy to raise, whether it was eggs or oil, they all bought and ate them by themselves.
Now that there are An Xiaoqi and their sisters, they can be raised, and it is also convenient.
"That's good, An An is still young, it's best to boil an egg every day to eat." An Xiaoqi said happily.
She saw that Xiao would give her younger brother eleven boiled eggs every day.
If you have a pheasant, if you have more eggs, you can occasionally give Xiao Jiu one to eat to supplement nutrition.
"That's good."
Rong Jing breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was afraid that they would dislike the trouble of raising chickens.
Immediately afterwards, Rong Jing tied up the two large piles of branches that the two sisters had picked up, and he carried one on his back, and then pulled the badger and the pheasant.
An Xiaoqi and An Xiaojiu carried half of the remaining firewood, An Xiaoqi took a lot of mushrooms in the back basket, and An Xiaojiu put cashew nuts in the back basket.
The descent was a bit slower, but the distance wasn't far, so I went back quickly.
Go back to An Xiaojiu's house first.
As soon as Rong Jing put down the firewood, An An rushed out of the house, looking at the string of pheasants and giggling.
This child has no friends since he was a child, and even small animals can be used as playmates.
"Uncle, you are so good, you caught a pheasant again, this time the pheasant is left for me to play, okay?" An An blinked and looked at Rong Jing with big eyes, a look of anticipation.
Although Rong Jing still didn't have a smile on his face, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes, "Okay, Uncle go to the backyard and build a nest for these pheasants." ”
"Let's go, I'll go with you." Uncle Rong also came out of the house, and the two of them went around to the back of the house to study.
Qing Niang came out of the thatched hut and said with a smile: "Uncle Rong came over early in the morning, helped poke the chimney of the stove room, repaired the shelves of the stove room, and made two dustpans. ”
"This Uncle Rong is really ......" An Xiaoqi couldn't say anything grateful, and felt that a good person like Uncle Rong was really rare.
She and Xiao Jiu are also blessed, although their families are not very good, they can also meet good people.
"I've just cleaned up this place, so let's put firewood." Qing Niang pointed to the thatched hut behind her and said.
An Xiaojiu and An Xiaoqi nodded, and then hugged all the firewood in.
"Aunt Qing, you can build a rack with me to dry clothes and quilts." An Xiaoqi discussed with Qing Niang.
"Okay."
An Xiaojiu was overjoyed, and while these people were not there, he hurried to study how to make this charcoal-burned cashew nut.
Find a corner where no one is, start to close your eyes and enter Taobao to buy this recipe, and look at the ingredients you need for charcoal-roasted cashew nuts.
The seasoning requires salt, sugar, five-spice powder, cornstarch, black pepper, and salt and pepper powder.
"That's troublesome, this cornstarch and five-spice powder, salt and pepper powder, do you have it now?" An Xiaojiu flipped through the recipe, his eyes caught a glimpse of the words of salt-baked cashew nuts, and immediately flipped through it, "This is good, this is good." ”
The seasoning only needs oil and salt, so that it can be made in the future.
After An Xiaojiu carefully read the recipe, he threw it back to Taobao, and then took a small basin himself, removed the shell of the cashew nuts, took some water, put a small handful of salt, and boiled it in a small pot.
It won't take long to cook and take it out to dry.
Qing Niang walked in, saw it, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Jiu, what are you doing here?" What is this, why haven't I seen it before? ”
"I'm discovering a business opportunity, I'll do it later, Aunt Qing, you can try it." An Xiaojiu said with a smile.
"How do you want to fix it? I'll do it for you. An Xiaoqi felt sorry for Xiao Jiu, and was afraid that he would be tired of his sister, so he took the initiative to say.
An Xiaojiu can't ask for it, she can only cook simple home-cooked food, if she does this, especially in ancient times, it was too difficult to control the heat!
It's still natural gas, no, gas is good.
"That's good, after it's dried, sister, you can help me make it."
"What do you want to do?"
"I think it's like frying peanuts." An Xiaojiu fried peanuts and knew that the next steps of this salt-baked cashew nut were similar to this fried peanuts.
An Xiaoqi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Your little head is quite smart, I think it should be about the same when I look at it." ”
Peeling off the shell of this fruit, it still looks okay, at least it won't waste oil and salt.
"It's definitely delicious, sister, don't worry."
An Xiaojiu felt that when he went to town tomorrow, he should see if there were any other seasonings, otherwise the plan to sell three squirrels would only fail.
She herself thinks that salt-baked cashew nuts are not as delicious as charcoal-roasted cashew nuts, but the seasoning is too bad, and she can't help it.
As for buying a book on spices and researching those seasonings here, An Xiaojiu felt that he didn't have the brain, nor did he have the hands-on ability, and it was too much of a waste of time.
