Chapter 91(1/2)
Dongji Mountain is a dangerous place, but it is also a place with very rich resources. Just on the west side of Yunzheng's cave, there are various fruit trees stretching for dozens of miles. In the harvest season, the fruits in the fruit forest were shaking Du Heng's eyes.
There are dates that are longer than fingers, dark red hawthorns that bent the branches, blue-red apples that are the size of fists, and more fruits Du Heng has never seen.
When he arrived in the fruit forest, Xiaoxiao's mouth never stopped. His storage bag was filled with various fruits, and he could be heard everywhere he went.
Du Heng smiled with his back, and the sound of laughing at the fruits were everywhere in his ears. He turned his head and said to Xiaoxiao: "I have to eat a crab meal at night. If you eat so many fruits now, you can't eat too much at night."
Xiaoxiao smiled so hard that he patted his belly with his wings: "Jiuchi."
Xuan Yu translated: "Xiaoxiao said it's okay." These fruits grew naturally and were made into delicious food without Du Heng's hands. Even if you eat too much, just let your uncle use spiritual energy to help him melt it.
Du Heng was helpless: "That's OK, but wasting food will be punished by the food god." Xiaoxiao held a long strip of jujube pits in his mouth, proving that he had not wasted food.
Every Niansui Sui and Xiaowonton followed Du Heng, leaving behind the rattle of geese on the path. Du Heng smiled: "Every time I go out, I feel like a local emperor. Look, I'm surrounded by shouting and huddling."
Xuan Yu's spiritual sense swept away and laughed out loud: "It proves that you are kind-hearted, and small animals like to be with simple and kind people."
Du Heng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Yes, yes, our kitten has sent me a lot of eels. I want to find some time to eat them all, so I can't waste the kitten's intentions."
Xuan Yu pulled two dates from the tree on the side of the road and handed them to Du Heng: "I thought you didn't pay attention."
Du Heng proudly took the date and ate it: "I have noticed it a long time ago! It's hard to see it if I can't see it. At first I thought it was caught by you or the generals, but later I saw some eels with tooth marks on them and realized it was made by a kitten."
Compared with the winter dates in Dongji Mountain, although the dates on Dongji Mountain are not as crispy, sweet and moisturizing as those in their hometown, they are large in size. Look at the color of the skin of the dates, they are still blue-white, and I guess the taste will be better if you wait for a while and turn red.
Just as Du Heng threw the date pits to the side of the road, he saw a yellow figure flashing through the bushes not far away. He was stunned for a moment: "Hey?"
Seeing Du Heng's face was shocked, Xuan Yu stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" Du Heng said in a daze: "I seemed to see Dahuang just now."
Du Heng was deeply impressed by Da Chaos. He could tell his little wonton and Da Chaos at a glance. Although the figure flashed by just now, Du Heng thought it was Dahuang.
On the hillside, Lao Dao was lying lazily. The afternoon sun was warmly passing through the fruit forest and shone on him. Lao Dao crossed his legs and hummed a small song: "Hey hehe~"
When Du Heng stood in front of Lao Dao, Lao Dao stood up from the ground: "Mr. Du, are you here to pick fruits? Do you need my help?"
Du Heng looked around and said, "Yeah..." Lao Dao asked in confusion: "Mr. Du, what are you looking at?"
Du Heng scratched his hair in confusion: "I just saw Dahuang." But when he walked here, where was Dahuang? It was obvious that Lao Dao was the only one.
Lao Dao smiled silly: "You are wrong? Did you recognize the little wonton for rhubarb?"
Du Heng looked at the wontons looking around on the hillside, and said embarrassedly: "Yes, maybe I really misread it."
Du Heng sighed and walked back to the cave with a basket on his back. The old knife wiped his sweat, and his secret was almost broken by Du Heng.
In the large wooden basin on the platform, blue-black hairy crabs were spitting bubbles. When you walked closer, you could hear the sound of bubbles bursting. Du Heng squatted in front of the wooden basin and held the brush in his hand: "Hey, these steamed, these boiled water, um, these... make a meat crab pot!"
The meat crab pot is a dish that Du Heng is more specialized and favourite. It contains meat and vegetables. It can be served in a large pot in autumn and winter, which is both warm and warm.
Du Heng and Xuan Yu washed the crabs one by one. Du Heng took the straw rope and tied up the crabs that needed to be steamed. The tied crabs were all shrank their legs obediently. Even if Du Heng placed their belly up and placed them in the steamer with ginger slices one by one, they could not move.
Steaming crabs is easy to deal with. After the water boils, steam it on the pot for a stick of incense. Du Heng covered the lid of the steamer and placed it next to him and stopped caring about them. He opened the refrigerator and started to go back and forth. A pile of side dishes quickly piled up on the chopping board.
Xiaoxiao jumped onto the chopping board, and he looked at the side dishes. He saw that there were ground eggs, rice cakes, tofu, prawns, squids and chicken feet in the basket. The ingredients were just full of two baskets, plus the crabs next to him, Du Heng was preparing to make a big pot.
When he saw the chicken claws, Xiaoxiao started to ask questions. Du Heng knew what Xiaoxiao was asking. He was asking if Du Heng wanted to braised chicken claws. He liked the most to eat the braised chicken claws made by Du Heng, and he could eat a bunch of them every time.
Du Heng responded to Xiaoxiao while cutting off the nails on the chicken feet: "Yes, I want to braised chicken feet. You must have never eaten the braised chicken feet this time."
When he heard that there was something he had never eaten, Xiaoxiao immediately became excited. He was nailed to the stove and refused to move his nest anymore. When Xuan Yu came out, he laughed out loud: "Since you arrived in the village, the place where Xiaoxiao stayed the most often is your stove."
Du Heng was calm: "Let him stay there, it will be difficult to jump up when he transforms into shape." Du Heng has always believed that Xiaoxiao can transform, just as he firmly believed that every side dish in the meat crab pot could burst out with unparalleled delicacy.
After the chicken feet were cut off their nails, they were changed to the knife. Du Heng chopped two pieces on each chicken feet, and one chicken feet was divided into three parts, which looked almost the same in size. Du Heng soaked them in water and took advantage of this gap to deal with other ingredients.
Du Heng cut the rice cake into round pieces. Looking at Xiaoxiao's eyes, Du Heng thought: "Do you eat baked rice cakes with Xiaoxiao?"
Bake rice cakes? Xiaoxiao doesn’t know what it is, but it is definitely correct to light up your head first.
Du Heng took out a rice cake as big as a palm, broke it, and raised his hand and fell. He cut the rice cake in half. He took the casserole on the stove and then put a piece of wire on the mouth of the stove.
He made the fire to a minimum and placed two pieces of rice cakes on the barbed wire mesh. The rice cakes were raised in water by Du Heng. After being baked by heat, the water on the surface quickly dried up. After a while, the bulge appeared on the downward side. After turning it over, you could see a yellow oxaba on the bulge.
After several turns, the rice cakes were no longer as hard and even as they were when they were put on. They all expanded one by one, and they still had yellow burnt on their bodies. Du Heng knocked on the burnt with chopsticks, and the burnt pallion fell under the barbed wire.
Du Heng asked the smile beside him: "Do you eat sweet or salty?"
Fenggui's voice came: "Spicy."
Du Heng turned his head and saw that Jing Nan and Feng Gui had squatted behind Du Heng at some point. Xiaoxiao next to the stove had been squeezed to somewhere. Xiaoxiao jumped up in anger, but he still couldn't beat his uncle and Jing Nan. He could only watch his rice cakes being grabbed away!
Xiaoxiao was so angry that he was about to ascend to heaven. He fell to the ground with no hope of losing his feet and gave up struggling.
Feng Gui squatted beside Xiaoxiao with a small plate and baked rice cakes condescendingly, seducing him: "Oh, it smells so good."
Isn't it really fragrant? After the rice cake is baked, a layer of hard rice crust appears on the outer skin, while the inside is still soft and can be pulled for a long time with a bite. Feng Gui and Jing Nan dipped one in chili and the other in sugar squatted beside Xiaoxiao, and Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes in anger.
Du Heng was amused and crying: "You two are enough, how could you be elders like this?"
Feng Gui chewed rice cakes: "What's wrong with elders? I don't have the habit of letting elders make me. If Feng Lin has this ability, let his elders make him." Feng Gui started to mess around and Xiaoxiao was so angry that he was hurt internally.
Jing Nan greeted Du Heng: "This is pretty good, let's bake a few more pieces!"
Du Heng had this meaning. He was afraid that he would slow down and laugh and cried. Looking at the generals who were lying in the cave, Du Heng simply took out a few more rice cakes. Anyway, they were all baked, so it would be better for everyone to try it.
Du Heng greeted Xuan Yu: "Xiaoyu, take out my grill!" Xuan Yu de ordered: "Okay."
Soon, the white rice cakes were placed on the grill by Du Heng. Du Heng took out his barbecue seasoning: "What kind of flavor you want to eat, it's sweet, salty and spicy."
Under the charcoal fire, a slight white bubble appears on the surface of the rice cake. After a while, the white bubbles begin to grow bigger. The baked rice cake is also good to eat without any stuttering. It will taste more fragrant with sugar or chili. Du Heng likes the baked rice cake in his hometown. The baked skin is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Brush a layer of barbecue sauce, apply a layer of sweet noodles sauce, and you will be satisfied with eating a piece of belly.
Xuan Yu and Xiaoxiao soon received the rice cake baked by Du Heng. The original flavor of the rice cake was immediately sublimated by the seasoning sauce. Xiaoxiao loved this sweet, salty and fresh rice cake. If the fried rice cake during the Chinese New Year can be 90% in Xiaoxiao's heart, the fragrant and crispy rice cake baked after being baked with oil!
The generals also liked this taste. Yun Zheng and the others also asked to sprinkle a layer of chili noodles outside the rice cake, which made the taste richer.
Everyone was still not satisfied with Du Heng stopped seeing it. If you eat a few more pieces of rice cake, you will not be able to hold anything in your stomach. He didn't even play the highlight, how could everyone get full of rice cake?
After putting chicken feet in the pot, Du Heng threw the spice bag into the chicken feet and turned on the fire to make it. Seeing him braised chicken feet, Chonghua and the others wandered around the stove: "Why don't Mr. Du make more braised? This is a good place to drink."
Du Heng asked in confusion: "Isn't there any more in the refrigerator?" He made so many chicken wings and duck feet. Didn't Chonghua and the others find it?
Chonghua looked at his finger embarrassedly: "Well, aren't you embarrassed to open the refrigerator?"
Du Heng was happy: "What a big deal, eat as much as you want. When I left Dongjishan, I left all the cooked food prepared in the refrigerator for you. Anyway, I can make it, so it is not difficult to make any food you want. You just have to make a refrigerator like me so that the food left will not deteriorate."
Xuan Yu said: "This refrigerator can be customized in Wanshou Workshop, but when customizing, you should not customize the same one, it is easy to be exposed. Just ask them to customize a few containers that can stop time."
Chonghua and the others knew that their eyes were narrowed into two slits: "Hey, I'll customize it tomorrow!"
The chicken feet in the pot need to be braised for two incense sticks. The chicken feet in the meat crab pot need to be stewed with crispy skin and melted after squeezing. If the chicken feet are stewed according to the time of the braised food, the chicken feet will be too chewy.
While the pot was stewing until the chicken feet, Du Heng put soybean oil in another pot. He raised his hand and cut the crabs into two halves from the middle. Looking at the cross section of the crabs, Du Heng was very satisfied: "So fat!"
I saw that the section was full of yellow, and Du Heng carefully removed the crab's stomach. He pressed the section of the crab into the starch and rolled it around, then soaked the section of the crab with starch into the oil pan.
The crabs don't need to be fried for too long. Du Heng just wants the crab roe to stop dissipating during the later stewing process. After a little frying, the crabs turn orange-red. Du Heng fished them on a plate and set aside.
Feng Gui said to Du Heng: "I found that dipping the ground eggs into chili peppers is delicious, and chili is indeed omnipotent."
Du Heng was stunned for a moment, Didan? Where did Fenggui get the ground egg? He suddenly had a bad idea in his mind. Sure enough, when he turned around, Fenggui and the others stood next to the stove.
They all had a piece of potatoes on their chopsticks, which were already cooked to pieces. Du Heng looked bloody: "I forgot the time!"
He had only thought of cooking the potatoes until they were gone, but he forgot to fry the crabs. Then Feng Gui and the others discovered... Du Heng's potatoes were gone.
Du Heng was very helpless: "That's the last few potatoes."
Feng Gui chuckled: "Where are you cheating? I just saw you planted a lot yesterday. Do you need me to help you ripen it?" Du Heng insisted on his principle: "Potatoes that have not passed through the sunshine and rain have no soul!"
Feng Gui was calm: "Well, Xiaoxiao had eaten so many soulless potato chips before, isn't it good?"
Du Heng was completely defeated, so he had to accept his fate and ripen the potatoes. After a while, he came out with a basket of big potatoes.
He complained: "My potato field is incomplete." Even if the potatoes that were replanted later were not in the same batch as the other potatoes, the other potatoes would laugh at them!
Peel the potatoes and cut them into large pieces. Du Heng poured them into cold water. This time he had to watch out, and he could no longer let the group eat the cooked potatoes dipped in chili.
The potato cubes can be cooked with two cups of tea. Du Heng looked at the stove and took them away as soon as the time came, and then took them out and placed them on a plate.
While waiting, he cut the squid into a flower knife, removed the shrimp thread and cut the shrimp gun. After he finished all the ingredients, the chicken feet in the pot were stewed and soft.
Just now, Du Heng left the oil in the pot where the crabs were frying. After throwing the scallion and shredded ginger and cracked garlic, he took out a handful of dried chili and dried pepper and threw it into the pot. Then he dug two tablespoons of bean paste and poured it into the pot.
The pot suddenly became bright and bright, and Jing Nan started to mutter again: "Ah, it's so spicy and so spicy..."
Du Heng repeatedly promised: "It's not spicy, really, believe me." Jing Nan continued to mutter: "Ah, put less spicy..."
Du Heng had no choice but to sacrifice Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, let Jing Nan be quieter."
Xuan Yu looked at Jing Nan: "Do you shut up or do you need my help?"
Jing Nan sniffed and threw herself into Feng Gui's arms: "It's unreasonable, bullying the fox!" However, this time Feng Gui couldn't stand on the united front with Jing Nan. Feng Gui sniffed: "I don't think it's really spicy."
There was a split inside the three demon gods, and it was about to start arguing.
Du Heng quickly put in the ingredients he had prepared long ago. He pushed the cooked chicken feet into the pot and continued to stir-fry, and then added the broken potatoes. After the potatoes and chicken feet were dyed, he took out the soup that had just cooked the chicken feet.
After the soup slightly exceeded the chicken feet and potatoes, Du Heng put a handful of rock sugar in the pot. Then, he placed the processed crabs in the soup and stewed them. In the gap next to the crabs, he also put the tofu into pieces. The gurgling sound of bubbles sounded like a kind of enjoyment in his ears. Smelling the fresh fragrance that spreads out from the pot, this is a supreme sense of accomplishment.
When the soup in the pot is halved, Du Heng puts in the remaining ingredients. The remaining ingredients can be cooked by stir-frying them slightly. Excessive cooking will make them lose their original taste.
After half a cup of tea, Du Heng sprinkled a lot of pepper and a handful of white sesame seeds into the pot. After stir-frying, he took out the largest pot in the house: "The meat crab is ready to be cooked~"
There were so many meat crabs that could not be served in one pot. Du Heng put three large pots before he could put out the dishes in the pot. He only brought one pot to the table, and the remaining two pots were temporarily stored in the refrigerator. Even if they were taken out later, the fragrance would be overflowing and not cold.
