40 What to eat at noon today
When they got home, the two children had washed the dishes and dried the bamboo shoots.
"Mother, are we going to stew pheasants at noon, do we have to cook other dishes?"
"Your dad caught a few yellow eels." Lin He grabbed a few yellow eels, they were slippery, and he almost couldn't catch them: "You wash these bowls together, and I'll stew the pheasants first." ”
Yellow eel stew is naturally the best, but after thinking about it, Lin He still decided to make dry stir-fried yellow eel.
In addition to the big ingredients that Li Changhui bought before, only radishes and bamboo shoots can be used to stew soup, but these two side dishes are not suitable for stewing yellow eel.
Bamboo shoot stewed chicken is not bad, Lin He grabbed two handfuls of half-dried bamboo shoots and soaked them, the pheasant had been chopped into pieces by Li Changhui last night, which was convenient for Lin He.
There is hot water in the pot, scoop a scoop of hot water, wash the chicken carefully twice, and by the way, the father and son are really the same careful and considerate.
"Mother, the bowl is washed, and the bamboo basket is also washed, with the mucus of the yellow eel and the porridge spilled on it."
Li Yu said, and he had already come to the two younger brothers.
"Mother, this is the yellow eel that my father caught, didn't it say that the yellow eel will come out when the weather is hot? Why did you have it so early? ”
The yellow eel was thrown by Lin He in the corner under the eaves, ready to be stewed with pheasants and then disposed of, Li Hao dragged his younger brother's chair and ran over a long time ago.
"Well, I think it was turned out when I was plowing the field."
Li Yu opened his mouth wide in surprise: "I haven't seen anyone plough the field before, and they can plow the yellow eel." ”
"Big brother is so stupid, other people are not as good as Daddy, Daddy is so good at hunting, how can others compare with Daddy."
Li Hao complained bluntly, and Lin He couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
This kid is worthy of liking 'fights and brawls', and he is really the most convinced of Li Changhui's force value.
"yes, I almost forgot, Daddy is also very good at hunting."
The brothers discussed for a while, and the youngest Ang Lee couldn't speak, but he also made a few 'ah-ah' sounds from time to time, as if he was discussing with the two elder brothers.
But after a while, Li Yu was called by Lin He to burn the fire.
The smell of the pheasant is relatively strong, Lin He used ginger slices, shredded green onions and white wine, blanched and boiled again, scooped up and washed and drained with cold water.
It's just that this is not enough, hot pan and cold oil, every time at this time, Lin He can't help but sigh, I really want to use vegetable oil!
Stir-fried vegetarian dishes with lard, especially green vegetables with leaves, are really fragrant, but stir-fried meat ......
Forget it, don't be picky, other people are reluctant to use oil like this.
Hurriedly retracted the thoughts that almost flew away, and after the lard melted, poured the chicken into it, poured a little white wine and stir-fried for a while, put in coarse salt, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, and then added star anise, bay leaves, cinnamon, dried chili peppers and other spices after a while.
Then I scooped half a spoonful of soy sauce and stir-fried it for a while before adding water to simmer.
The pheasant stewed in this way has no fishy smell and will be more delicious.
As for the chicken soup? Lin He thinks that although the chicken soup is delicious, the nutrition is all in the meat, and it is good to eat meat.
What's more, just throw three or four dried chili peppers, and the soup will not be too spicy, even if it is more muddy than clear soup, it can also be drunk.
Besides, I'm tired from this work, and I will have a better appetite if I eat some delicious food, and the pheasant soup that is too light smells fishy, so I can't eat yet.
"Yu'er, I'll go clean up those yellow eels, and when the pot is boiling, add these bamboo shoots."
Originally, the bamboo shoots that had not been dried were almost soaked at this time, not to mention that the pheasant meat was firm, and it took a long time to stew, and the bamboo shoots had to be boiled for a long time.
"Okay, I see."
Lin He took a kitchen knife, scooped a basin of water and brought it to the far corner of the courtyard dam, and did not rush to clean up the yellow eel, but took another hoe and dug a pit next to it.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" Li Hao dragged his younger brother and hurriedly followed.
Lin He looked at Li Hao's movements, and his brows jumped: "You look at An'er carefully, you are careless, be careful to drop him." ”
Then he put the hoe aside and took the yellow eel: "The internal organs of the yellow eel have a strong fishy smell, and it is easy to attract insects when placed outside, so bury it cleanly." ”
"Mother, I know, I won't fall my brother, you see he's very happy."
Li Hao stuck out his tongue, with a bit of naughty and cuteness.
Looking at Li An again, sure enough, just like Li Hao said, the tremor of the bamboo chair when it was dragged on the ground brought him with a tremble, and even the sound of 'ahhhhhhhhh
Shaking his head, I really don't understand what this kid's preference is.
"Forget it, you go and get a big bowl, I forgot to take it just now."
Li Hao responded angrily, and trotted to the kitchen, Lin He didn't have time to remind him to slow down, be careful not to drop the bowl, he came back with a big bowl again......
Forget it, I'm too lazy to say it.
I broke a branch casually, sharpened one end with a kitchen knife, and then stuck the thick one in the gap of the bluestone slab yard.
Picked up a yellow eel, recalled the action he saw in his memory, and directly nailed the yellow eel's head into the branch.
I brushed the whole eel with one hand, and I already had a score in my heart;
Holding a kitchen knife in the other hand, he drew on the eel's abdomen from head to tail, and the entire eel was disemboweled.
The kitchen knife was gently scraped from beginning to end, and the eel's stomach was clean, and even the eel bones were taken away.
Finally, the head and tail are chopped off, and a whole yellow eel is cleaned up.
Looking at his works, Lin He was very satisfied, it turned out that it was not so difficult to deal with yellow eels.
I disposed of the rest in one go, and the big bowl almost couldn't fit it.
But now the yellow eel still has blood on her body, and she doesn't want to get contaminated with the water basin, so she asked Li Hao to help her scoop up the water and wash it directly in the big sea bowl.
washed away the bloodstains, and asked Li Hao to take coarse salt, which could scrub off the mucus on the yellow eel, and let him grab a handful of flour and rub it vigorously, and finally wash it a few times, and the yellow eel was completely cleaned up.
Originally, scalding with boiling water could also achieve the effect of removing mucus, and it was even more convenient, but it didn't taste good as this, so Lin He gave up that simple and quick method.
She doesn't have many hobbies, cooking is barely one, it's not particularly troublesome, and she's willing to try it.
Li Hao had never seen such a treatment of yellow eels, and he was immediately surprised.
"Mother, you're so amazing." Before Lin He could be polite, he saw Li Hao's eyes turn and look at the flour slurry flowing beside him: "But mother, it's a pity to have that flour." ”
"......" Lin He.
Then he rolled his eyes: "When you eat later, don't say it's wasteful." ”
But in my heart, I still reflected on myself a little.
Although Li Changhui will definitely not say anything, in the era of food scarcity, such behavior is indeed a bit wasteful, especially for the children at home, which is a bad example.
Next time, let's use plant ash, anyway, the effect is the same as flour, and you can take away the mucus that has been washed off by salt.
She just forgot it carelessly before, but she was reminded by Li Hao before she remembered.
It's just that the dead duck has a hard mouth and doesn't want to admit to the child that he did wrong.
Well, it's good to change it next time.
