Chapter 148: Eating Rabbits Cold
General Gao took a lot of unjust roads when they went, and the return trip was full of luck, and it was smooth sailing, and they only walked for ten days and returned to Dunyu Island.
The whole island cheered, and their commanders and brothers returned safely, proving that their ships were ready to sail!
When the 5 million stone grain exchanged by Gao Huaiyu and the New Year's allowance sent by Dongying were sent back to the land, the post station staff rushed to the capital to report the news.
Most of this grain had to be transported to the official warehouse in the south for emergencies, and it could only be dispatched after the imperial decree arrived.
The capital, the Golden Luan Palace.
"Good! Good! Okay!" At the court meeting, Xia Hongdi gave great affirmation to this trip to exchange grain.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the Great Xia Navy has gone to sea!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the Great Summer Grain and Grass Crisis has been lifted!"
"My Emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
In Dali Village, broad beans have already begun to be picked, and after the locust plague, one-third of the crops have been lost, which makes the farmers feel heartbroken.
Although broad beans were planted in the wasteland, the Yuan Mansion bought a lot of manure from the newly built public toilets in the capital this year to make fertilizer, and cultivated the wasteland into fertile soil.
The broad beans rescued from the locust's mouth, with some accomplices competing for nutrients, have grown fuller than in previous years.
If you cut it back together with the fava bean stalks, the dried fava bean pods will become pitch black when exposed to the sun, and they will easily fall off when you beat them with a wooden stick.
In the end, when the weight was weighed, it was not much worse than the previous year, and it was barely a bumper harvest.
Aunt Li found fifty daughters-in-law, all of whom worked in the noodle factory, splitting broad beans and making bean paste.
Zhang was also idle, and brought his twin granddaughters, who were already able to walk, to help.
Two, wearing exactly the same small skirt, with two small tugging, lotus root-like hands with silver bells, thick eyebrows and big eyes of the doll, can provoke this group of women that rare.
"Old lady, your granddaughter is really good-looking, and she looks a lot like their aunt."
"yes, this skin is so white! It's so clean! Would you like to go with your aunt's house?"
"Hehe, they look like their father, and my babies all look like my old man, aren't they just like their aunts?"
"Then your family is so blessed, when this little girl grows up, the threshold of your family will have to be broken by the matchmaker!"
"Hey, thank you for your auspicious words, I just hope that they will grow up safely, and just find someone who knows their roots!"
The little girls seem to be able to understand, these people are talking about them, tilting their heads, staring at this group of people and smiling, which is really cute.
Mrs. Li's family adopted a pair of twins, named Li Huilan and Li Huimei, the eldest twin sister played with the little twin sister, and the yard was full of children's laughter.
Talking and laughing with these village women, the work is done quickly, they work in the noodle shop of Yuan's mansion all the year round, of course, they will not make the old lady angry, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
After soaking overnight, the shell is removed, and then put into the steamer to steam thoroughly, and finally wait for the mold to become moldy and become moldy watercress.
After the dry moldy douban was put into the tank, Aunt Li, Zhang's, Yuan Damei, and Qian Alan became the main force for drying, and they needed to go in and out of Yuan's Mansion in Dali Village every day to stir the bean paste in turn.
Also put a wooden lid on the sauce jar at night and in the rain.
These people are also the most trusted people in Cuihua, doing business with Huangzhuang, and food safety issues come first.
Of course, Cuihua will not forget to pay the main army, and she is happy to laugh at the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law, who are also the daughters-in-law who get paid.
These vats, row by row, were neatly placed in the sunniest yard to dry, waiting for the aroma of bean paste to come out.
The peppers are also ripe, Cuihua deliberately chose the day when the two eldest sons left the palace, and returned to the village with the large and small laborers in the family to pick peppers!
Each kid was given a small back basket, and Cuihua gave them proofs.
"See these red peppers? The red ones can be picked! Pull it like this, then put the pepper in the back basket, and when the back basket is full, you will carry it
Pour it into the box!"
"It's so simple, mother, I'll see it!"
"Then you have to put on your little gloves, don't rub your eyes, otherwise, your eyes will be spicy!"
"Mother, look at it! I'll pick five pieces for you!"
"Brother, otherwise, we will compete with whoever is the best!"
"I'm definitely number one!"
"I'm going to challenge you!"
"I'm the best!"
In the world of males, fighting and competitiveness are really there from a young age, and three-year-old boys like to brag!
Cuihua belly: Well, it's more interesting to watch the little baby brag, when this man grows up, why are they so itchy to brag!
In the past six months, Cuihua took the children back to Dali Village to do farm work several times, and they are now very solid, and they went to the field with the tools after receiving them, and the three heads of cleanliness were cured.
Yuan Wenjie is responsible for taking care of the children, as long as their brother returns home, the main task of taking the younger brother is the two of them.
Yuan Wenwu picked chili peppers next to the cuihua, and said as he did it, "Mother, our fourth book has been completed!"
"Where is it?"
"Write to Ningjiang Mansion! The focus was on our coffin boat and surviving in the wilderness of the island."
"Uh-huh, how's your homework? There's still time to draw a comic strip."
Cuihua and Heiwa have the consciousness of being a scumbag, and they have always supervised and required their sons' homework, but they don't force it.
"Mother, there are a lot more classes in the palace than in our house, but, time, there is still a squeeze, you don't know, Princess Jingyao likes our comic books, hurry up, send someone to get the manuscript every few days, where is her first draft."
"Hahaha, this is a reader urging a change next door! Then you can't be lazy!"
"Hehe, but we like it ourselves, and we all have feelings for this book, so we are reluctant to give up halfway!"
"As long as you don't delay your homework, then write it, it's only one book a year."
"Well, I'll leave it to Brother Zhao to help us print and run the bookstore."
"How old are you, you can do this by yourself, and my mother won't be involved!"
"Mother, I haven't eaten your dish for a long time, and when I see chili peppers, I want to eat spicy ones, so you can make some spicy food for your sons!"
"Isn't it better to bring you some back to the palace?" Cuihua is funny, the friends who are the companions of these two sons either come to Yuan's Mansion to eat, or pack them back to the palace to eat.
"Mother, you're the best!" This voice, that one is full of sugar, and it gives me goosebumps when I hear it.
"Second brother, you actually learn from me!" Xiao Liu crossed his waist, his anger was rising, the second brother was so annoying, he actually learned to be coquettish.
This is a patent only for small babies!
"You stinky little six, look at my shadowless palm!" Where will the big magic star be afraid of the little demon star, when the big demon star is coquettish in front of his mother, the little demon star has no shadow!
"Hahahaha. Second brother, second brother, I was wrong."
In order to make some heavy-tasting snacks for the two eldest children, Cuihua asked Aunt Li to buy ten rabbits, and after dinner, she had to make a famous snack in her previous life: cold rabbits.
Rabbits that have been skinned and have their internal organs and heads removed are chopped into small pieces, soaked in cold water, poured out the blood, and then washed with warm water and dried to dry.
Shred green onion and ginger, Shao wine, Sichuan pepper, salt, put in the rabbit meat and marinate for an hour and a half.
Cut the dried chili peppers into pieces, add warm water, and soak them for half an hour, for fear that the rabbits would get on fire, Cuihua didn't dare to put too many dried chili peppers.
Heat the rapeseed oil in the pan, after the oil is hot, put in: green onions, ginger, garlic, pepper, cinnamon and other spices and fry until fragrant, browned and removed.
Then put the rabbit meat, fry it slowly over low heat, and stir-fry until the rabbit meat turns from red to white and then yellow.
Followed by fried spices and sake, stir-fry patiently.
When the rabbit meat is fried until it is dry and the meat is slightly dry, add shredded tangerine peel.
When the skin of rabbit meat is slightly charred, you can put in the chili pepper segment soaked in warm water and turn it over
Fry for half an hour, add some soy sauce and oil.
After soaking the chili water, pour in some more, penetrate the spicy flavor again, fry the water dry, add sugar to taste, and finally sprinkle in a large amount of sesame seeds.
After the rabbit meat is cooled, the color is bright, refreshing, spicy and sweet.
The meat is firm, chewy, and has a long aftertaste;
The degree is moderate, its flavor is heavy, and its fragrance is specific.
The taste of this meat has five characteristics: numb, spicy, fresh, fragrant and sweet;
And it has a unique taste of "harmony of five flavors and no pressure on each other".
A few small eyes looked at it, they also wanted to eat, it smelled so good, it looked delicious!
It's a pity that one person picked a small piece of rabbit and chewed it twice when he ate it in his mouth, and Ding Doudou cried directly.
Except for Xiao Wu, who was still holding on, the rest of the children gave up: this rabbit meat that looks delicious and tastes sad.
Ten rabbit meat, two large pots full! It's all taken away by the eldest brother and the second brother!
The adults, busy chopping the chili peppers and putting them into the sun-dried bean paste, the black-brown bean paste immediately turned red again.
This year, in addition to the people in the village, almost all the people in the capital who have a little land have planted chili peppers, although the locusts have gnawed some of them, but most of them are still alive and tenaciously.
And this year's chili peppers are very good, not only Yuanfu collects chili peppers, but also Huangzhuang, which makes hot pot bases, and restaurants are also willing to buy them.
Where are the people willing to eat, this red pepper, except for the ones that are left, are all exchanged for silver and the most fragrant.
The order for Yuanfu's bean paste this year is more than four times that of last year, and the old ladies of Dali Village can't wait to stare at the chili peppers in front of the house and behind the house.
Who is willing to eat? It's no wonder if you don't get scolded as a dog!
After harvesting the chili peppers and harvesting the wheat, a small half of the wheat that was gnawed by the locusts finally grew to maturity!
In this season that is not a good harvest, the eldest son of Xu Maodong, the prince of Cheng'enguo, was born.
Xu Mansion closed the door from the Holy Emperor Dowager, and also picked up Xu Mengniang from the palace, the whole family is keeping filial piety for the Queen Mother, the emperor can replace the year with months, and they can't defend the country.
Xu Maodong, who was originally going to marry this year, also postponed the wedding, and the wedding would be held three years later.
This will make Xu Maodong no longer confused, he doesn't know if his wife will still be willing to marry him.
After all, anyone can see that everyone in their Guogong Mansion is now avoiding, don't think he doesn't know, Old Madam Xu is so worried that half of her hair has fallen out.
Old Madam Xu is one of the very few people who knows the truth about her sister-in-law's death, and she is terribly scared in her heart, but she doesn't dare to bet that the new emperor can still show mercy to their house.
Yu Niang thought that she would soon tear up with her wife, but she didn't expect that the biggest backer of the Cheng'en Mansion would fall so quickly!
In addition to forbearance, low-key, low and small, Cheng'en Guo Mansion, there is no other choice.
When the child is born, she has to feed herself, what to wash three, full moon, don't think too much.
For the Xu family, Xia Hongdi has other plans, and now the Xu Mansion is left behind, in addition to women and children, there are also a few grandchildren.
Concubine Xu Wan'er was very obedient, and asked herself to keep filial piety for the Queen Mother in the palace for three years, that is to say, within three years, she took the initiative to give up the opportunity to sleep.
Although she doesn't give up voluntarily, she doesn't necessarily have a chance.
This makes it difficult for people who want to trouble her to start again, after all, the Xu family still has some old departments to watch.
