Chapter 12: One Snake and Three Eats
Zhang Ze carried snake meat. Walked out of the supermarket in the eyes of everyone's surprise, envy, and jealousy.
For everyone's incomprehension. He didn't explain. The truth is always in the hands of a few.
Zhang Ze's family lives in a single-family villa in Inter-Milan. He and his wife like to be quiet, and they don't hire a nanny at home.
He returned home with snake meat, and his wife was watering the flowers on the balcony, he walked over and said, "Wife, what do you see I bought today?" ”
Women are afraid of snakes, regardless of age.
Zhang Ze's wife's name is Shen Qiao, and she was startled when she saw Zhang Ze holding two pieces of crimson snake meat. She gave him a blank look and said:
"How old are you? Boredom is not boring. ”
Zhang Ze smiled and said to Shen Qiao: "Today you have a good mouth, I will make you a snake and three foods, you usually cook, let you taste my craftsmanship today." ”
For Zhang Ze's kindness, she understands it. But she still didn't want to eat snake meat. She had made up her mind. No matter how delicious it is, she won't eat even a bite.
Zhang Ze came to the kitchen, put on an apron, and prepared to take care of these two pieces of snake meat. He boiled the rice porridge first, and then looked at the snake, which was fat, making it an excellent ingredient for porridge and stews. He cut one of the pieces of snake meat evenly into thumb-sized pieces, put them in the porridge with red dates, ginger shreds and other ingredients, and lit the fire. The fragrance of the snake penetrates into the porridge in the next few hours of boiling, and the snake porridge boiled out in this way has a thick fragrance and is unusually delicious.
Another piece of snake meat, Zhang Ze is going to make a salt-and-pepper snake segment, he first uses low heat to fry the snake meat until golden on both sides, and then takes out a two-eared blue and white crockpot from the cupboard, and puts the fried snake meat into it to stew, the crockpot can best retain the fragrance of the ingredients themselves. After it comes out of the pot, sprinkle pepper and salt to taste, and the resulting snake meat is firm, chewy and plump, and rich in gravy, you can tear off a large piece of meat in one bite and feast it on your heart's content.
As for snakeskin. He prepares cold salad, snake skin, also known as lichen and dragon coat, is a relatively valuable Chinese medicine. Of course, there are also a large number of parasites hidden in the snakeskin, and if not handled well, there are disadvantages and no benefits. Zhang Ze removed the scales of the snake skin, washed it with water, cooked it in a pressure cooker, and cut it into sections after removing it.
Zhang Ze was busy with lunch in the kitchen, and Shen Qiao quietly took care of the flowers and plants on the balcony, especially one of the pots of peonies was her favorite. Unlike Zhang Ze, Shen Qiao likes flowers and plants, and the balcony on the second floor is full of all kinds of rare flowers.
She recognizes her husband Zhang Ze's cooking skills.
After a while, a burst of tempting fragrance wafted from the kitchen, and she took a hard breath, feeling refreshed, it was so fragrant!
"This scent ........."
It's not that she hasn't eaten snake meat before, but this time the aroma of snake meat smells stronger than what she has eaten before.
After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to go to the kitchen to take a look, for an elderly person like her, it doesn't matter what she eats, the important thing is to eat healthily.
As soon as she arrived at the kitchen, she saw that Zhang Ze was fiddling with a plate of snakeskin. After high-temperature steaming, the snakeskin is crystal clear, and the slightly hideous red lines on the snakeskin look as beautiful as an oil painting after high-temperature cooking.
She fell in love with this beautiful food at once, and it is a woman's nature to love beauty, and of course, she is no exception. For the first time, she found beauty in food.
"Lao Zhang, what kind of food are you cooking, it's so fragrant?"
Zhang Ze turned around and saw his wife Shen Qiao standing behind him, watching him cook with a serious face, he said with a smile:
"Cold snake skin, don't underestimate it, snake skin is the best tonic for beauty"
A plate of cold snakeskin. Each one is arranged like a delicate oil painting.
……
Two hours later, Zhang Ze made the red spotted snake and placed it on the dining table. Snake soup that has been boiled for two hours. A plate of salt-and-pepper snake segments. There is also a plate of cold snakeskin that looks like a flower.
Shen Qiao seemed to have forgotten what he had said before. She eagerly picked up a piece of snakeskin and put it in her mouth, and it was a cool and slippery feeling in her mouth. The perfect combination of the elastic touch of the muscles and the deliciousness of the meat makes it feel like eating an elixir, and the pores of the whole body are opened.
The color of the salt and pepper snake segment is particularly good-looking, the meat quality is as crystal clear as white jade, take a closer look, there seems to be liquid circulating in the meat roll, seven or eight pepper and salt snake segments are placed together, and the appearance is very good.
Shen Qiao picked up a piece of salt and pepper snake segment. After looking left and right, stuff it in your mouth and start chewing.
As soon as she took a bite into her mouth, a fragrant taste rushed straight to her taste buds, and the fragrance of the snake meat itself and the crispy, tender, salty, and fragrant taste brought by the cooking techniques made her instantly appetite, and she unconsciously took another piece and stuffed it into her mouth.
The salt-and-pepper snake does not have the fishy smell of ordinary snakes at all. The oil, salt and peppers are just right, no more, no less. It carries the scent of the snake itself, but does not have the fishy smell and astringency of other snake meat. It's a contradictory and perfect ingredient.
Shen Qiao picked up the small bowl with blue and white on the white background on the dining table again. There was soup packed by Zhang Ze for her, but it was only seven or eight points, and she could basically drink it in one gulp. Some green vegetables floated sporadically on the soup noodles of the snake soup like starfish, one green and two white, the green of the vegetables matched the white of the snake meat and rice grains, and she swallowed her saliva with greed.
"Purr"
The thick snake soup is not a soup stock at all, but Zhang Ze made it after two hours of boiling, and this thick to the extreme taste is as refreshing as eating a bite of jelly.
Just drunk a trickle. Only then did Shen Qiao remember that Zhang Ze hadn't eaten yet, and looked at the food on the table that had already disappeared halfway. She was a little embarrassed and smiled. :
"Today's lunch is so delicious."
Although Zhang Ze is not as excessive as Shen Qiao, his eating appearance is not much better. He held the salt and pepper snake section in one hand and the snake soup in the other, sweating profusely from eating, and took the time to pick up another chopstick to mix the snake skin, put it in his mouth and enjoy it slowly.
Although the price of red spotted snake meat is very expensive, he thinks it is worth it, very worthwhile! He even planned to buy all the remaining snake meat as soon as he finished eating.
It would be a crime to leave this superb ingredient behind.
If he has enough of them, he plans to meet up with three or five friends for a small family party where everyone can enjoy the top food he makes.
Eating and eating, Zhang Ze felt that with the digestion and absorption of snake meat, a hot breath inexplicably flowed out of his body, and this hot air flowed back and forth with the veins of his limbs, which was very comfortable.
In old age, the body's absorption of elements such as calcium and magnesium slowly degenerates, so the elderly are more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis.
Zhang Ze suffers from osteoporosis!
He lifted his leg and noticed that years of osteoporosis seemed to be showing signs of improvement, and it was less stiff than before.
He was stunned in his heart, could this snake really be extraordinary?
…………
Qiangzi stood in the fresh meat area, looking at the red spotted snake meat that was sold out, and didn't want to speak.
A snake sold for more than 600,000!!
Are people stupid? Or is there more money? He really couldn't figure it out.
He asked Liu Xu, who was standing next to him, puzzled: "Second uncle, let's not open a supermarket, let's go home and catch snakes, a snake sells for more than 600,000 yuan, let's catch three or five a day, and earn tens of millions a month casually, why bother to open a supermarket here?" ”
Liu Xu stood next to him and said with a smile: "Qiangzi, Uncle told you that this snake is not an ordinary snake, this snake has a hundred years of cultivation, eat its meat, make up for five wins, calm the spirit, clear eyes, happy and intellectual, and prolong life by 10%. Especially the snake gall bladder and snake whip, which is the essence of the whole snake, didn't you see Aunt Zhang and the Taoist priest competing for the snake gall? He also made the Taoist so angry that he vomited blood. ”
