Chapter 64: Potato Cakes and Stewed Geese
Romeo and Arlie Hepburn walked into the alley at this fork in the road, the alley was dimly lit, the gravel road was uneven, and from time to time there were black shadows that stumbled through in the dim light.
The girl had never been to these places before, and she held the boy's hand tightly, and cold sweat continued to break out in her palms.
Romeo followed the aroma and soon spotted a potato cake vendor in the depths of the alley that had not yet closed its stall, adjacent to a pasta-like pasta stall.
He told the girl to hold him tight, and quickly moved to the stall owner, who was startled, and the stone pot for frying the potato cakes accidentally overturned, and hot yellow oil droplets splashed.
didn't even have time to urge the fighting spirit and magic shield, so he could only quickly resist with his hands, and his arm soon became a red blood blister.
"Boss, why are you so careless, it's all hot and bleeding. The boy deliberately rolled up his sleeves high and shook it vigorously in front of the boss.
The boss was a middle-aged, bloated woman in a wide four-pleated skirt.
She crossed her hands on her hips and roared: "The little rabbit cub suddenly appeared, and the old lady hasn't settled accounts with you yet, so I'm embarrassed to beat you up."
"Well, lady, how about you take a break, and I'll do it?" his suggestion surprised everyone.
"Then you be careful, don't burn your hands clumsily, I don't have a copper to compensate you. The bloated woman sat down on the stool, exhausted.
Romeo glanced at the ingredients, and there were only starch, sugar, and pressed mashed potatoes. He asked the pasta stall next door for a few more eggs, onions and shallots, a few crispy raw carrots and salt.
He minced shallots, onions, and carrots for later use, and in order to save time, he shattered them with vindictiveness.
The girl's slender and white fingers covered her mouth lightly, and her eyes showed a look of surprise, watching his movements intently.
Fingers quickly mix the boiled mashed potatoes with the crumbled shallots, onions, and carrots, and add salt, sugar, and starch. It is best to have twice the proportion of starch in mashed potatoes, so that the fried potato cakes will not be too soft and scattered, which will affect the taste.
Then crack in an egg and mix well until a layer of white egg white foam appears on top, then add the egg mixture and a small amount of water.
Knead the dough with a new evenly mixed mashed pot, then pour oil into the stone pot, wait for the oil to be warm, put in the mashed potato dough, dip it in a little water with a wooden spatula, press the dough into a cute round cake, gently shake the iron pan, turn it over after shaping, and fry until it is golden brown on both sides.
Soon it is delicate and lovely, the golden and crispy potato cakes are freshly baked, exuding a strong aroma of various ingredients, eggs, green onions, potatoes and carrots mixed together, it is simply fragrant.
Romeo placed the hash browns on a clay-fired plate and pushed them in front of the girl.
The aunt who was resting on the side was attracted by the aroma, and directly clamped it with her hand, put the potato cake into her mouth, chewed it and chewed it, the taste was extremely delicate, and the aroma was compelling.
Then he slapped Romeo: "I can't see it, you white and tender boy has a hand, I have never eaten such a delicious potato cake." ”
Yali waited for the potato cake to be cold, and used her thumb and index finger to send the potato cake into the cherry mouth, chewed it slowly, and then showed an unbelievable expression: the sweet and soft mashed potatoes were crispy on the skin and warm in the heart.
Since she was a child, she has developed an attachment to the most ordinary potato cakes, which attracts her more than the delicacies of the mountains and seas, delicacies, and Western-style meals full of complicated processes.
The aunt ate the potato cakes so fast that Romeo put the five freshly fried potato cakes on a plate, and the aunt swallowed four, leaving only one behind.
Romeo rolled his eyes at the aunt, who was embarrassed to return to the stool.
He had to work hard to finish all the remaining mashed potatoes and fry them into cakes. The girl intimately fed him the potato cakes piece by piece.
Romeo gobbled it up, and in the blink of an eye, the fried hash browns were all in his stomach. When I wanted to fry it again, I regretted that the mashed potatoes were gone. I could only scratch my head, "Auntie, can a small amount of butter give me a little credit?"
The aunt had a painful expression and said, "Why don't you eat a few potato cakes, this liquid butter is very expensive." ”
Romeo dropped a gold coin, and the aunt's eyes suddenly lit up, and she bit the gold coin hard with her teeth, and a shallow mark appeared on the gold coin, and she couldn't close her mouth happily and said, "Okay, the cart can be pushed away." “
He took a fancy to the stone pot at a glance, and packed butter, onion and garlic, starch, sugar and salt, and eggs. Holding the girl and turning out of the alley.
After a few steps, a unique white suspension bridge appeared, which was shaped like a white sail about to ride the wind and waves, and the shape was novel. Classical street lamps that diffuse soft orange light.
The imperial capital at night is more charming and amorous than the grandeur of the day. The blue river, as clear as the starry sky, crosses the bridge.
The stars are sprinkled on the quiet river like water, and the charming night view makes people willing to indulge, and what kind of red dust is in the depths of the invisible lights and shadows.
Romeo's subsequent actions destroy the beautiful and romantic atmosphere, and it is simply a terrible scenery.
He chanted a spell softly, and fired four magic missiles in a row, and the blazing light exploded at the bottom of the lake, setting off huge waves nearly ten meters high on the surface of the lake, making a loud roaring sound.
A few silver spotted cod desperately opened their mouths, flapping their huge tail fins and being slapped on the bridge by the waves, and the fattest belly was already fried and blackened, completely inedible.
Romeo was heartbroken and changed his tactics. He plunged into the water, his left hand illuminating, and the dazzling white light of the bulb illuminated the murky and dark bottom of the lake.
The floating aquatic plants and the moss on the stones were clearly visible, but there was not a single fish, because the loud noise from the bombing of the lake just now scared the fish away.
Somewhat disappointed, he rushed out of the lake, suspended in mid-air, waiting for another chance for the fish to pass by.
At this time, a few gray-feathered geese landed on the lake from mid-air, and a few light arrows swished down, hitting the neck of the wild goose, and several geese wailed a few times, and the blood gushed out like a spring, fluttering a few times on the surface of the lake and then stopped moving.
Romeo easily skimmed over the water, plucked the dead geese with great speed, revealing the dark red flesh inside, and then disemboweled them with a steel sword, eviscerated them, and dismembered them in eight pieces.
Yali's willow brow kept frowning, and Romeo was chopped into pieces just now by the living and beautiful creatures just now.
The chopped geese were put into a stone pot, filled with lake water, and the stones at the bottom of the water built a simple stove, put in some algae and dead leaves, cast a small fireball, and the stone pot began to boil.
When the red blood water boiled out, he was ready to pour the whole pot of boiling water into the lake.
But the girl stopped her: You can't pour it here, you should pour it into the sewer of the road. ”
That's right, there must always be a little environmental awareness, this is not a small river ditch in the countryside, how can the blue and clear lake water be polluted at will, just like a blue exquisite necklace with flaws.
He poured out the blood, re-added a small pot of lake water and boiled, and when the goose meat was cooked until it was crispy and soft, he poured in a small amount of butter and stir-fried the steel sword, but unfortunately the sword was too narrow, and it was quite difficult to stir-fry. The ingredients added are quite simple, which is onion and garlic.
Romeo tasted a small piece, and the wild goose meat was soft and chewy, but the more fragrant it was when chewed.
If there is a little chili powder, it will taste better, fragrant and spicy to be delicious.
A pot of delicious, tempting and fragrant wild goose meat, his saliva flowed, and he started directly.
Picking up the fragrant wild goose legs, she tore off a large piece and put it into the girl's mouth, she had only eaten smoked and fried before.
I had never heard of this novel method of stewing first and then stir-frying, and the girl chewed it carefully, and her frowning brows were loosened.
I found that the meat of this method is extremely fragrant, melts in the mouth, and the taste is delicate with a hint of herbaceous sweetness, and the smell is rich and fragrant, which is really delicious.
The girl kissed Romeo directly, and said coquettishly: "It seems that I really want to play the piano for you for the rest of my life, if I become old and ugly in the future, you can't dislike me." ”
Romeo's hand caressed the girl's white jade cheek: "When I become a master of magic potions, there is a way to keep you young forever." ”
The girl said angrily: "Okay, it turns out that you are also a superficial guy who only pays attention to the outside, and I don't want to pay attention to you." ”
Yali puffed her back and admired the blue lake. He could only tempt with delicious food, saying: "Little gluttonous cat, do you want to eat it or not, if you don't eat it, I can wipe it all out." “
The girl was as quiet as a sculpture, just standing quietly on the bridge deck and enjoying the scenery. Romeo ate all the goose meat in a large pot, and it felt so good that he was full, and he burped happily.
