Chapter 28 Garlic Pork

Wang Xiaobai and Li Yunqiu jumped up and down happily: "Oh! You can buy ice cream!"

But Wang Xiaosong slapped each of them on the head and said: "Be careful, these little loaches have the nerve to ask Uncle Erpi for money!"

After speaking, he handed the basket to Li Junge, and said, "Come on, Uncle Erpi, we'll grab and play with it, and I'll give it to you."

Li Junge said with a smile: "Xiao Song is really like a big brother! Good job! But you, Uncle Er Pi, this little loach is really useful, so I can't take yours for nothing."

After finishing speaking, he took out 20 yuan and gave it to Wang Xiaosong, and said, "Come on, take it and buy ice cream from Uncle Ermao's, but each person can only eat one, and the rest of the money will be deposited with Uncle Ermao, don't let your grandparents know about it." .”

Wang Xiaosong smiled embarrassedly, and said, "Then we'll use dogtail grass to wear the loach for you."

Li Junge smiled and said: "That's not okay, Uncle Erpi has to live, so, give me the basket together, wash your hands and go to the small supermarket, come to my house tomorrow to pick up the basket. By the way, Uncle Erpi caught a litter Little wild boar, come and see Zhu Wazi to play tomorrow, and this litter of puppies."

The three children jumped up happily again, and shouted: "Uncle Erpi, you are so kind! I have a composition to write tomorrow."

After waving goodbye to the three children, Li Junge suddenly came to his senses, and turned around and shouted: "Three leather babies! Didn't you just say that you finished your homework?!"

The three children laughed and ran away.

Liang Huili looked at the backs of the three children and said with a smile: "It's better to be in the countryside. When I was young, I liked to play in Lijiagou. At that time, Erpi, you took me like this."

Li Junge said: "As a child, the countryside is really good, but now the children in the city are under too much pressure, how can they have time to have fun like us?"

Several people sighed with emotion for a while, and returned home all the way.

When he got home, Li Junge put the eight puppies into the pigsty where the wild boars were raised, and then thought it was time to feed the pigs, so he took out the food bowl from the pigsty, filled a small half pot of feed in the house, and secretly used the space Soak the water into a paste, and bring it to the little pigs and puppies.

The three of Liang Huili were looking at the strange thing, Wang Congjun said, "Erpi, the wild boar and the hunting dog are rivals, can you keep them together?"

Li Junge said: "Let's just make do with it for now, mainly because I'm afraid that the puppies will run away, and I'll take them out when they are sensible."

Putting the food bowl into the pigsty, the piglets immediately stopped fighting and went straight to the food bowl.

The stronger one among the puppies seemed to smell something, and also got out of the fight with the brothers and sisters, ran to the side of the food bowl, sniffed it carefully, seemed to feel good, and licked it twice.

Well, it's really delicious, so Yoyo called twice, calling for brothers and sisters to come over.

The other seven puppies ran over with a whimper, and found that this thing was really good, they immediately squeezed towards the basin, and after a few strokes, they formed a circle around the basin, licking and eating.

The little piggies are stunned, why are there a bunch of white butts in front of them while eating?Where did the food go?Squeeze in as hard as you can, but you can't squeeze in.

Li Junge had no choice but to prepare another pot of mush, and set up another table for the little piggies.

After finishing all this, Liang Huili and the three stayed there to play with pigs and dogs, while Li Junge came out to prepare dinner by himself.

After cleaning the stone mill at home, Li Junge peeled off the corn kernels with a knife and ground them into corn paste.

Add some sugar to the corn paste and mix thoroughly with a spoon.

Take out the big steamer, tear off the corn husk that you just peeled off, scoop a spoonful of corn paste into it, wrap it, and put it in the steamer.

After wrapping all the corn paste and putting it in, Li Junge boiled a pot of boiling water, let the corn cakes steam on the pot, and then thought about something to eat at night.

After running outside for a long time, he decided to get something refreshing, so Li Junge cooked another pot of mung bean porridge.

From the freezer, he picked out a piece of two-knife meat about two catties, and Li Junge was going to make garlic and white meat.

Two-knife meat is also called sitting board meat and sitting buttock meat with skin. It is the first choice for making garlic white meat and twice-cooked pork.The purpose of choosing this part is: the meat fiber is firm and elastic, crisp and tender after cooking, and melts into slag in the mouth.

You can't use wild boar for this, because wild boar has a fishy smell, and the white meat with garlic paste is easy to eat.Li Junge chose a piece left over from the pig slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.

Put cold water into the pot, add onion, ginger, salt, pepper, and cooking wine to cook the pork.

On the other side, Li Junge began to peel the garlic, cut the ginger, and put it in a stone mortar to make ginger and garlic paste.

Pour out the mashed garlic and add some cold water to make ginger and garlic water.

Take out a basin, pour in sugar, soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, pepper powder, pepper oil, sesame oil, rice vinegar, chili oil, and salt to make sweet and sour sauce.

Skim off the slick oil from the chicken soup at noon, scoop out a scoop of chicken soup and add it to the sweet and sour sauce.

When the meat is cooked to almost ripe and the chopsticks can just penetrate, pour the meat soup into another pot and let it cool.

In the middle, the three of Liang Huili came in, and one of them went out with a corn cake, sitting under the eaves and chewing.

After a while, my parents also came back, and said angrily: "How can I give this to the guests, how embarrassing."

The three of them ate happily, nodded repeatedly and said: "This is very good, it tastes very good."

Li Junge showed his head from the kitchen and shouted: "Take it easy, don't wait until the garlic and white meat is ready and you will lose your stomach!"

After the meat was cooled, Li Junge took out his large kitchen knife and began to slice the meat.

Put the meat on the cutting board, and trim the excess corners first.

Then press the meat firmly with your left hand, and feed the knife with your right hand in a saw-like manner from one end.

The knife technique has a name called "shoveling shavings", which emphasizes "smooth knife entry, neither light nor heavy, impartial, the knife turns with the person, and the knife enters the flesh away", and finally the two fingers of the left hand flick and flick. With a push, the meat slices are curled up on the white porcelain plate as lightly as wood shavings.

The skin, fat meat, and lean meat are connected in three pieces, flat and transparent.

After slicing the meat, Li Junge cut two more cucumbers and threw them into the meat bowl, then poured the sweet and sour sauce and ginger and garlic juice prepared in advance into the bowl, sprinkled with chopped green onion and celery, stirred them evenly and served them out.

The custom in Lijiagou is that dinner is simpler than lunch, which is actually more in line with dietary science.

Another loofah vine was fried, and the host and guest sat down to eat together.

Garlic white meat is eaten with corn cakes and mung bean porridge. It is sweet and sour, fragrant but not greasy.

The three of Liang Huili ate and praised again and again.

After eating and resting for a while, seeing that it was getting dark, Li Junge dug out a bundle of bamboo poles from under his bed, about two meters long, with about ten or twenty as thick as his index fingers, and said to the three of them, "Let's go, go The river bends."

The three of them agreed, and Li Junge dug out a flashlight for each of them, saying it would be useful when he came back, and then went to get the loach basket that he brought back in the morning and afternoon, and the four of them said goodbye to their parents and grandma.

The sun started to set, and the sky was a fiery red. The grass insects and frogs became active, and the sound of insects and frogs was everywhere.

The flowers began to spit out their fragrance, and the air was filled with the fragrance of various flowers.

Liang Huili took a deep breath of the fresh air and said with enjoyment: "The air here smells really good."

Li Junge distinguishes the fragrance of flowers in the air while walking. Now his five senses are very keen, and he can recognize the smell of honeysuckle, jasmine, Milan, yellow cypress, and many unnamed wild flowers in the air.

When passing through a clump of Ophiopogon japonicus under a forest, Li Junge said to the three of them: "Remember this, there will be surprises here later!"

The three of them wrote down what they said, and followed Li Junge downhill, along the stone road to the Wuxi River.

There is a small dirt road by the river, walk close to the water, pass through a bamboo forest, and come to a place.

Bamboo leaves touched the surface of the river, and the surroundings were quiet. The river water reflected the bright red light of the setting sun, covering the four people with a layer of faint gold.

Surrounded by the chirping of birds returning to their nests.

"My God, it's so beautiful here!" Liang Huili shouted softly.

There are some sandstones of different sizes by the water here, and a clump of silk thatch grows a few meters away.

Li Junge stood beside a clump of thatch and pulled out a bamboo pole. Only then did the three of them discover a two-meter-long thread attached to each bamboo pole, with a hook tied to one end of the thread.

"Erpi, what is this for?" Zhu Chaoan asked very curiously.

"It depends on tonight if we can add a dish tomorrow." Li Junge replied, taking out a small loach from the fish basket, hanging its tail on the hook, throwing it into the water, and then throwing the bamboo pole into the water. Insert firmly into the shore.

The loach was suspended in the water by the bamboo pole, but it only sank about ten centimeters below the water surface. It struggled hard to drill down, but was held by the bamboo pole, so it could only swing slightly with the bamboo pole.

The four of them walked forward for about 300 meters, and at intervals, Li Junge inserted a pole in this way.

When the loach was used up, the four of them enjoyed the sunset by the river again and started to walk back.

It started to get dark halfway, and the four of them turned on their flashlights and continued on their way.

After walking for a while, the four of them came to the field of Ophiopogon japonicus just now. Li Junge told everyone to turn off the flashlights, keep quiet, and just stand there quietly.

Not long after, a bright light flashed in the grass.

Then, one o'clock, two o'clock, three o'clock... More and more bright lights flashed, gradually connecting into one piece, spreading like a distance.

Li Junge heard the breathing of the three behind him began to become rapid.She could feel Liang Huili starting to pull the corner of his clothes again, her little hands were trembling slightly.

The light is still moving, it's a field of fireflies.

Everyone watched quietly for more than ten minutes, and Li Junge said softly: "How is it? We'll be back soon?"

"Huh!" The three of them didn't dare to take a breath just now, but now they let out a long breath.

The four of them turned on the flashlights one after another. The fireflies were disturbed, and some of them hid. They were no longer as shocked as before.

Liang Huili was so excited that her voice trembled, she said: "It's so beautiful, it's so shocking, I actually saw a sea of ​​fireflies!"

The one who was most excited was Zhu Chaoan.The first thing this guy thought of was his girlfriend, and he pulled Li Junge and said, "Two skins, two skins, how long will this scene last? Is it okay if I bring Xiaomei over next week?"

Wang Congjun put his hand on his forehead and said, "Zhu Erch, can you stop being so cowardly!"

Turning around, he said to Li Junge: "Erpi, why don't I bring my girlfriend over next time?"
