Chapter 131: Earth Dog
Gu Rao plans to make braised prawns, tomato brisket and scrambled eggs with tomatoes first.
The first thing to do is to stew the prawns in oil.
Cut the green onion into oblique sections, flatten the garlic, mince the ginger, and cut the dried chili pepper into sections for later use;
Cut off the shrimp whiskers, shrimp feet and spines on the shrimp head, then pick off the shrimp line with a knife from the back of the shrimp, wash it with water to control the water;
Pour oil into a hot pan, cook until 80% hot, pour in the shrimp, stir-fry until the shrimp turn red, pour in the seasoning prepared in advance, and stir-fry until fragrant.
Pour cooking wine along the edge of the pot to remove the smell;
Pour in light soy sauce to taste, pour in a little braised soy sauce to color, add sugar to increase freshness, add a little salt to taste, add white pepper to remove the smell, stir-fry evenly;
Add an appropriate amount of water, bring to a high heat, cover the pot and simmer for a while, open the lid to thicken the soup and put it out.
Next, make the tomato brisket.
The brisket has been thawed, cut the brisket into small pieces, soak it in water for blood foam, and prepare garlic, cinnamon, grass fruit, cardamom, cumin, peppercorns, and ginger slices.
Cut the onion and carrot into cubes, peel one tomato and cut into chunks, and beat the other tomato into a tomato sauce with a blender and set aside.
Blanch the brisket.
Pour a little oil into the pan, add garlic, ginger slices, cinnamon, grass fruit, bay leaves, peppercorns, cumin, cardamom and stir-fry until fragrant, and add carrots and onions.
Pour in the blanched beef brisket, stir-fry until fragrant, add the tomatoes, stir-fry the tomatoes into a sandy shape, add water to cover the meat, bring to a boil over high heat, add pepper, sugar, salt and white vinegar, turn to low heat and simmer for half an hour.
Add the chicken essence, boil a cup of tea on high heat, turn off the heat, add the tomato sauce, stir well, and then put it out, and a rich tomato brisket is ready.
As soon as Gu Rao finished the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, there was a sound outside the courtyard gate.
Poking your head out of the kitchen.
"Have you bought the land?"
"Is there anything left of the twenty-two taels of silver?"
The second half of the sentence is the focus of her attention.
Don't say as you walk.
"The dry land in the town is about six taels of silver per acre, and the paddy fields are about fifteen taels of silver per acre; The fields in the nearby villages are cheaper, about five taels of silver for dry land, and about thirteen or fourteen taels of silver for paddy fields. ”
"The money hasn't been spent, and I haven't bought it yet."
When I came to the kitchen, I saw the rabbit on the ground, and the fish in the basin, and before I could ask, I listened to my wife's command, "You came back just in time, go and kill the rabbit and fish, you love to eat the green pepper rabbit you made last time, I plan to make it again today, and then make a paper wrapped fish." ”
Don't be wild, "Okay." ”
Gu Rao asked, "Why is there such a big price gap between dry land and paddy fields?" ”
"Dry land is more widely distributed, there are relatively few paddy fields, and paddy fields are used to grow rice, and rice is the staple food, so the price will be much more expensive."
Gu Rao said, "Tomatoes are grown on dry land, let's just buy one acre of dry land, and we have to grow a lot of tomatoes on one acre of dry land." ”
Beiye was used to killing prey, and after a while, he killed and skinned the rabbit, and according to Gu Rao's request, washed it and cut it into diced meat.
The action of killing fish is also very fast.
After a short while, the rabbit and fish were cleaned up by him, and after cleaning up, he was not idle, and consciously lit the fire while peeling garlic.
The diced rabbit with green pepper was quickly fried.
Gu Rao began to cook the last dish.
- Paper-wrapped fish.
This dish requires a special pot for making paper-wrapped fish, and it has to be plugged in, so it can only be made in a space.
Gu Rao said to Bie Ye, "You go and close the courtyard gate." ”
Beno was a little confused.
"So early?"
Gu Rao said, "There is a dish I want to cook in the space." ”
Beiye didn't ask any more questions, got up and closed the courtyard door, and entered the space with his wife, watching his wife operate those magical appliances while laying his hands on the side.
What Gu Rao wants to do this time is a spicy paper-wrapped fish.
Add chili oil and salad oil to the pot, add the two vitex strips after heating, stir-fry the pork belly until fragrant, add the red oil bean paste, spicy sauce, minced ginger and minced garlic to continue to fry until fragrant.
Add Lao Gan Ma, pepper, two wattle strips, dried chili pepper and red pepper and stir-fry until minced, add beer, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence, white sugar, pepper, spice powder, sesame oil, and balsamic vinegar.
Add peeled cooked peanuts, pour on the processed fish, sprinkle chopped chives, white sesame seeds, and coriander segments on top, wrap them in paper, and cook them on the electric grill on five gears until piping hot before eating.
Gu Rao didn't bother to bring in all the food and set it up on the table in the bamboo house in the space.
"It's time to eat!"
Besano is a little cramped.
"Eat here?"
Gu Rao nodded, seeing that he was not used to it, and said funny, "I was not used to it at first, but I often brought you in later, and you will get used to it." ”
"It's convenient to use electricity, if it weren't for the rice steamed in the rice cooker, which is not as delicious as the iron pot steaming, I would be lazy to use the rice cooker to steam the rice today."
"You can learn these appliances slowly."
Beye snorted.
"I'll already turn on the lights."
Gu Rao praised, "Yes, continue to make progress, when you get busy in the future, if you don't want to cook on the fire, you can use a rice cooker to steam rice, and it is also very convenient to stir-fry in an electric wok." ”
First, I sandwiched a scrambled egg with tomatoes with chopsticks for Beye, and then sandwiched a piece of tender meat under the belly of the fish for him.
"Taste it."
Besino's first taste of grilled fish.
"It's delicious, it's a taste I've never tasted before, it's fragrant and spicy, and the fish is very tender, but there is no trace of fishy smell, I didn't expect the fish to be eaten like this."
Gu Rao likes this kind of self-made dishes very much, and the feeling of being recognized and loved by others.
"If you like to eat, I'll make it for you often in the future."
"There is too little fish, I'm afraid you won't have enough to eat, so I prepared onion slices, potato slices, lotus root slices, bean sprouts, kelp shreds, hot pot noodles and sliced pork belly, do you pour them in and fry them now, or do you eat them and pour them in again?"
Beno said, "Now." ”
Gu Rao went to the kitchen again to bring over the prepared side dishes, poured them all into the electric oven, and used a spatula to stir them together with the ingredients to absorb the flavor.
Beno tried the tomato brisket again.
"The dish is also delicious."
Gu Rao said, "This is tomato brisket, beef brisket is frozen meat, if you use fresh brisket, the taste will definitely be better, when the frozen meat in the freezer is finished, next time I will buy fresh ones." ”
Fortunately, beef can be bought and sold in this era, but the price is twice that of pork, sixty wen a catty, and it is difficult for ordinary people to be willing to eat it once.
Besino, "It's already delicious." He felt like a dirt dog, and he couldn't imagine what his wife said was better to eat.
Look at the plate of shrimp that looked very large.
"What kind of shrimp is this?"
When he was a child, he was hungry for meat and didn't know how to hunt, he often went down to the river to fish and touch shrimp, but he had never seen such a big shrimp, and even the paper-wrapped fish made by his wife used fish that he had never seen before.
Gu Rao said, "This is a prawn." ”
Beno pinched a shrimp and put down the chopsticks to slowly peel the shell.
Before he was with his wife, he never peeled the shell of shrimp, and the last time he ate shrimp together, although he ate river shrimp, he knew that his wife had the habit of peeling shrimp shells when eating shrimp.
Once peeled, place in a wife's bowl.
"You eat first."
