78. Wait for him to fall into the net
Compared with the gobbling up of the second dog, Hao Dong and the queen are much more elegant. However, this Wenya was actually forced to be helpless, and the queen couldn't even solve it in the end, and the second dog didn't dislike it, so he directly helped clean it up.
Hao Dong held an enamel jar of Lao Bai Kai, and after a long time, he finally finished eating his portion of stuffed skin, and felt that his lips and tongue were already unconscious.
The enamel jar is still the old goods of the year, and a jar can hold two catties of old white open. Hao Dong finished eating a plate of stuffed skin, drank all the water, and then didn't stop for the next hour.
Fortunately, there was no need to act during this time, and following the news from the other end, Wang Ben met with the other two people in Huangzhong County, and then ran to Hi Pi.
This posture, it seems that it should be an accomplice, and the tracking personnel heard a little news through the long-distance sound collector, and it seems that someone will come to the hotel in the second half of the night to connect with that Wang Ben, so they are not in a hurry to go back to the hotel now, but play in the city.
"Someone wants to connect with them? What can it do? Ergou had some vague guesses, but he couldn't be sure, "It's not very convenient to come in here, is their information transported by road?" ”
If you take the road, the arrival time of the last few batches of materials from Nandu seems to be in these few days.
The queen nodded: "It's very likely, so we must not startle the snake now, as long as we can catch people at night, things will be clear." ”
With this in mind, everyone did not dare to leave the surveillance room until night.
Xining is a high-lying area, northwest and high latitude, at the end of June, there is no daylight saving time to adjust the time difference, the sun is seven o'clock in the evening, and it is still bright as four or five o'clock in the southeast city.
Surveillance is a boring job, and now you have to listen to reports from outside followers at any time. It's just that the report is all about what big bath, what big hotel, what KTV and the like the person being tracked to, but there is no intention of turning around at all.
People have a rebellious mentality, specifically, the more you realize that you can't do something, the more you want to do something.
At this time, he was locked in the house, and after a few hours, the others were fine, but the second dog was a little irritable. I couldn't play the cards anymore, so I poked my head out of the window for a while, stared at the sun that never went down, and muttered, I don't know what I was talking about.
The driver is more able to judge the mood, looked at the time, and suggested that he would go out for dinner and take a look at the scenery by the way.
As a result, as soon as Ergou's eyes lit up, the queen smashed him back to the prototype with a word: "This person is very important, don't do things that may create a situation that may lead to success and loss." ”
Seeing that it was impossible to go out, Ergou could only vent all his frustration on food. At dinner, the little driver shouted a big pot of mutton and scorpion soup, and the soup and water were loaded with an electric pot, plugged in the power supply, and ate hot pot.
Anyway, Xining has a high latitude and high altitude, and the average temperature is only 15 or 6 degrees in the hottest weather.
The sheep scorpion is the girder of the sheep, that is, the vertebrae of the sheep.
The mutton eaten here is basically sheep, the meat is delicate and tender, and it melts in the mouth. The lamb scorpion itself has bones and meat, and although it is the type of water left over after processing the mutton, it has been eaten in many ways since ancient times because of its unique flavor.
For example, sauce sheep scorpion, spicy sheep scorpion, and even special lamb scorpion hot pot in old Beijing traditional food.
Lamb and scorpion refer to the same ingredient, but it is a clear soup pot. When you arrive in the northwest, the clear soup is not sensitive, it must be spicy and enjoyable to be delicious enough, spicy sheep and scorpions, and it is called refreshing when you eat it until you sweat.
However, in view of the experience in the afternoon, when the little driver shouted hot pot, he still took care of it, so that the pot soup was less spicy, and then served with hot sauce.
The sheep scorpion pot itself is not difficult to make, the important part lies in the selection of materials and ingredients.
Sheep scorpions have the difference between ordinary scorpions and meat scorpions that specialize in meat.
The meat scorpion is prepared for people who love meat, there is a lot of meat, and you can eat it if you bite it. Ordinary scorpion meat is not so much, but the bones are thick, and the soup is more fragrant.
Hao Dong, what they shouted was still the home-cooked sheep scorpion pot in the small shop downstairs, and it was not a special meat scorpion, just an ordinary sheep vertebrae.
Cut the big bones into small pieces, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes to remove the blood, take them out, and rinse them with water.
Choose good green onions, ginger grass fruits, supplemented by peppercorns, cinnamon, cumin, and stir-fry in an oil pan until the fragrance comes out. If you prefer spicy, you can add more peppercorns; If you like a stronger fragrance, you can add a little more bay leaves.
In the frying ingredients, add the lamb scorpion, continue to stir-fry until the aroma of the mutton comes out, and replace all the meat bones with the spices to the casserole.
Put the water in the casserole that has been submerged in the sheep and scorpions, sprinkle enough dried chilies, and boil on high heat first. After boiling, the surface will be foamed, carefully skim off the foam, then add light soy sauce and cooking wine, reduce the heat, and start to simmer.
The time of stewing cannot be cut corners, saying that it takes an hour, forty minutes is absolutely not enough. Add dark soy sauce in the middle of the stew to give the broth a richer flavor and color.
Simmer until enough is done, add salt and sprinkle coriander, and that's it.
This dish is actually not difficult, but it takes a little effort. It is also important to note that the salt must not be left too early.
Salt is a thing that can be irritating to the meat. Pork and fish can be seasoned with salt first, which will make the meat more compact, but more tender and elastic; But if you make mutton, if you don't have enough time to stew it, you put salt, but it will make the meat hard and become not boiled. Once you make it like that, the taste is poor.
So the salt must be put down until the end, when the meat has been stewed.
However, today's snack restaurants generally don't spend so much effort, after all, stewed soup also costs gas.
So Hao Dong took the pot they asked for and took a look, although it was also fragrant, but in the eyes of Hao Dong, a professional, it was obvious that the sheep scorpion was not stewed over low heat, but pressed out of the pressure cooker.
Because the simmering is the word stew, with a very low temperature, the taste and nutrition in the meat and bones are boiled out little by little, and all the delicious food is dissolved in the soup. The soup is fresh, and the flesh and bones in it are also fresh, and when you eat it, you have a lively energy.
But if it is pressed out of the pressure cooker, the whole thing will rot in a pot, and the soup can still be very fresh, but the flesh and bones will become tasteless, and there will be no chewiness, because it is all rotten.
This small shop is quite professional and does not completely use a pressure cooker for the whole process. It should have been pressed at the beginning, and when the bones began to be soft, they were changed to stew in a pot. So unless it's a professional-grade glutton, the difference in taste is not so easy to eat.
Since it is a hot pot, it is naturally impossible to have only one lamb and scorpion soup.
Along with the soup, there are plenty of rich side dishes and ingredients.
One of the most important is naturally the local specialty mutton, which is delicate and moderately fat, and you can see that the texture of the meat is very good.
The rest also have sheep belly and sheep tendons, sheep hooves and sheep kidneys, sheep hearts, sheep blood, sheep liver, sheep lungs. Although they are all chopped, they are cleaned and the smell of blood is too strong, and then they are eaten in a pot and tasted extremely delicious.
I'm tired of eating mutton, and there is also a local specialty of dried plate fish. This fish used to be famous for its local specialty, but now it is a protected species, and it is difficult to say what the dried plate fish on the market is. I can only guarantee that the taste is still good.
There are a large number of Muslims in the local area, so there are not many pork products. When the little driver ordered food, he didn't particularly ask for big meat, and among the fresh dishes he delivered, the meat dishes were basically fish and sheep, and the rest were some quail eggs and poultry into the water.
In addition to meat dishes, there are also a lot of vegetarian and soy products, after all, there are seven of them, and all of them have a lot of appetite.
Spinach, lettuce, oily lettuce, bean pickled gluten, enoki mushroom, potato and cabbage, wide vermicelli, baby corn, jelly tofu, soybean sprouts, and even some fish balls and crab sticks.
Finally, there is a large pot of staple food, noodles that are a specialty of the Northwest region. This is used to eat at the end of the hot pot and go down to the pot.
As the name suggests, a sheet of flour is a thin sheet made of flour.
It's a food with a long history, it's easy to make and easy to eat, and the soup you use in the following slices can be flexibly chosen according to your preference. Basically, unless you eat only dried vegetables and don't touch any soup at all, you can eat it in your favorite soup.
In fact, in all seriousness, authentic dough sheets used to be made by hand.
One of them, called Cat Ears, is famous in the north and south. That is, after kneading the noodles, knead them into long noodles, and then pull out a small agent with your hands, pinch them with your thumb and forefinger, and rub them to become a small sheet of noodles that are slightly rolled, go directly into boiling water, take them out after boiling, and eat them with fresh soup. It is said that even Emperor Qianlong of the year was full of praise.
This way of eating, developed to the present, there are very few people who can really use manual kneading, and the number of masters who can make authentic dough sheet technology is also decreasing. Although there are still many people who eat noodles in their families instead of relying entirely on buying finished products, most stores will have a small dough sheet machine and rely entirely on the operation of the machine.
As a result, the noodles sold in general restaurants have no taste to pay attention to.
Because everyone is directly machine-produced, they are all square diamond-shaped slices of the same size, which does not have the natural casualness of handwork, and also lacks the special fragrance that will only volatilize after the pasta is passed by human hands.
However, the flour itself in the northwest is of high quality, and this difference can be somewhat compensated. Again, it's not a professional-level gourmet, and it won't be so exquisite.
A room full of people, except for the queen, were all big men, the pot was plugged in, and as soon as the soup in it was boiled, more than half of the sheep and scorpions were fished out. In the vacated space, everyone put side dishes in it.
In addition to the relatively light sesame sauce and peanut butter, there are also chili oil sauces with special heavy flavors, as well as fresh and sweet bean paste and hoisin sauce, and you can basically find dipping sauces that suit your taste.
With a spicy, refreshing and fragrant hot pot, stuffing it into the mouth while fishing, a group of people were sweating all over the body while eating it.
The quality of the sheep scorpion is really good, the spicy taste is very strong, but it can still eat the tenderness of the mutton and the fragrance in the bone marrow. The person who seduced the eater was spicy and kept exhaling and pouring the drink, but as soon as he felt that it was not too spicy, he couldn't help but go to the second bowl.
The other side dishes are also fresh enough and the portions are sufficient, such as fresh bean sprouts, rolled in the spicy soup, the taste is crisp and refreshing, and it can make people appetize without too much seasoning.
But even if it was eating like this, everyone didn't dare to delay what was in their hands, and there was always a person by the window who paid attention to the situation at the hotel opposite.
When it got dark, a pot of mutton and scorpion meat was fished out, the side dishes were basically dried up, the noodles were almost stuffed into a bowl per person, and the soup was added to the fourth time, and the taste began to fade, and finally the news came from the communication: "They are back." ”
At about a moment, Ergou, who happened to be the turn to supervise by the window, also noticed that a car with a non-local license plate drove in at the street corner dozens of meters away.
