Chapter 356 Small Fish Potstickers and Cold Rabbits
Chapter 350 Seven Small Fish Pot Stickers and Cold Eating Rabbit

After returning to the camp, I found that everyone had already gathered. Weiwei smiled at Li Junge, "Erpi, today I'm going to the stove, Xiaoyu potstickers!"

Li Junge asked: "How is it? How is the situation of the floating fish?"

Teacher Zhang said: "It's really quite a lot. At one time it was three or five, and at another time it was three or five. We fished casually for a while. It's more than two catties, right?"

After finishing speaking, he asked Uncle Yaoshi hesitantly: "Is this fish really edible? We won't have any problems if we eat it?"

Uncle Pharmacist swallowed the smell: "Weiwei really haven't eaten this small fish pot sticker...ah, no problem, children in our village often catch fish in Yanzi Cave to eat at this time, this peach blossom fish tastes quite delicious .”

At this time, the fish and pot stickers were ready, Wei Wei lifted the lid, and a scent filled the air.

Li Junge saw that the thin part of the pot stickers on the side of the pot was already scorched, and he took a piece off and put it in his mouth: "Well, it tastes good, and Ah Yin will definitely like it! Wei Wei you teach me, I will get it for Ah Yin when I go back. sound to eat."

Wei Wei smiled and said: "Greedy cat, this is not finished yet, this dish needs to be soaked in fish juice before eating! The method is also simple: wash the small fish and dry the water, pour oil into the pot, heat the oil and add sliced ​​ginger, then put Fry the fish over medium heat until golden on both sides, then add water to cover the fish. Put in sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and garlic cloves and bring to a boil over high heat. Turn to low heat. Then spread the sticky batter around the pan and it’s done.”

While speaking, Weiwei gently shoveled off the pot stickers on the side of the pot with a spatula, chopped the pot stickers with a spatula, and finally put in salt and green pepper, and collected the juice on a high fire. There was no coriander in the mountains, and finally sprinkled with the wild Green onions and mint to finish.

Li Junge wiped his mouth and said: "It can't be done, this thing is really greedy, I also have a quick stir-fried dish to finish the job."

Miao Wa was proud now: "You see that I carried a frying pan into the mountains, right? You still satirized me before leaving! Hahaha, without this wok, today's delicious dishes would not be possible!"

Li Junge rolled his eyes: "Fortunately, this trip is mainly by water. If you want to run on the mountain road, you can try it! You can't die of exhaustion, you fool!"

Heat the small fish pot stickers with charcoal, Li Junge uses boiling water to soak the bamboo shoots to remove the astringency, and the rabbits use cold water to rinse off the accumulated blood.After the large oil pan is heated up, add ginger, onion, and garlic to the pan, then pour in pickled peppers and pickled ginger, add half of the diced rabbit after frying the aroma, stir fry a few times, add diced bamboo shoots and wild onion knots, add salt and turn over a few times Take out the pan.

Putting the two pots together, Uncle Yaoshi took out the baked potatoes from the firepit and said, "This trip is the largest number of people going into the mountain, so we must get some staple food to eat."

At first, Teacher Zhang was quite embarrassed and wanted to get some compressed biscuits to make up the number, but when he smelled the taste of these two dishes, he immediately hid the biscuits again.

Uncle Yaoshi shared the small fish pot stickers with everyone, dipped the potatoes in the sauce and ate a mouthful, and praised: "Weiwei is so good! This dish tastes really good!"

Weiwei also took a piece of bread and put it in her mouth, squinting her eyes and smiling: "Oh, my cooking skills have improved again, this should be the best potsticker fish I've ever made."

Li Junge said with a smile: "You have made the mistake of Liu Sanwa. When that baby came to Lijiagou, she always felt that she was good at craftsmanship. As a result, Mr. Jin exposed him as soon as he came. It turned out that it was not a matter of craftsmanship at all, but the ingredients. The problem."

Weiwei giggled: "No, no, it's because I'm good at crafting."

The pharmacist uncle took out the medicinal wine, and each person came with five qian, saying: "I suffered a crime today, come, drink some medicinal wine to dispel wind and dampness."

Professor Li took the medicinal wine and said: "I'm getting old, I can't do it anymore, my legs are so sore that I can't stand still, the last time I went up the mountain was not so strong!"

Li Junge said: "Professor Li, it's not your physical problem. The road last time was dry and comfortable, and the legs and feet could be straightened. It's not like today, when I hunched over and climbed all day, it was still wet and stuffy. Running a mountain People say, 'It's better to drive three mountains than slip through a bay.' It's about this crime."

Miao Wa said: "But it will be fine from tomorrow. Pi Wa and I will make two bamboo rafts tonight. We will have five people on each raft, and we will go up the waterway, and we will sit on the bamboo rafts to watch the scenery and chat. The journey in these two days will be short." Take it easy."

Professor Ding said: "Then it will be hard work for you two."

Li Junge said with a smile: "Wherever it is, we can take it easy. It's much better than carrying equipment and dry food on the road."

Each person shared three or four potatoes, a bowl of pot stickers and small fish, and they licked their mouths and tongues with the pickled pepper rabbit.

Wei Wei finished eating and was about to clean up the dishes, only to see that half of the rabbits were left untreated, and asked Li Junge, "Hey, Erpi, why did you forget to put all the rabbits in the pot?"

Li Junge said: "I reserved that on purpose. I will prepare a classic Yanbang dish for everyone later, and I will serve porridge for everyone tomorrow. If you can't finish it, I will pack it up for you as a snack."

After everyone finished eating, Uncle Yaoshi started to take out the Yehansu he had dug up, and added the fermented glutinous rice brought by Li Junge, and boiled ginger syrup.

Li Junge set up a pot on the other side to heat the oil, took out a large handful of dried chili peppers, and cut them into shredded dried chili peppers. Considering that there were many northerners in the group, he sifted out the chili seeds and used only the red skins of the chili peppers.

Add ginger, garlic, pepper, star anise, cloves and other spices and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the rabbit meat into the pot and stir-fry until the rabbit meat evaporates a lot of water and starts to turn golden. After it emits a burnt aroma, add and Ding bamboo shoots with a similar portion of rabbit meat.

Not enough meat, but diced bamboo shoots.After the diced bamboo shoots are fried to golden brown, pour some soy sauce, rock sugar, and a little salt in advance.

Putting these in ahead of time is to fry the flavor into the meat and bones earlier, the amount is at most half of the finished dish, and finally add the rest according to the taste.

Next is the "Li Gapo" brand chili sauce and glutinous rice wine. When the two materials meet hot oil, they will immediately overflow with aroma.

The rest of the work is to fry the rabbit meat to the desired level. Li Junge thinks that everyone has good teeth, so the fried meat is more crispy, and the crispier it is, the more fragrant it is.

There is also something that must be used blindly in this dish, tangerine peel.

Li Junge didn't have tangerine peel in his hand, but he couldn't help it. When he was catching the rabbit, he saw a trifoliate tree next to the bush, with a few small oranges that had been dried in autumn hanging on it, which was just right for him.

Pour in the soaked citrus peel, vinegar, and dried chili, stir fry for a few minutes and let it cool.

This dish is not difficult, the key is that the fire should not be too high, and all the ingredients must be burnt but not burnt. Once the shredded chili and tangerine peel are fried black, it will emit a bitter taste and the dish will be uneatable.

This is the famous traditional Yanbang dish, rabbit eaten cold.

Jiachuan is also a branch of Yanbang cuisine, so every family can make it. It is spicy, delicious, and long-lasting.

In the old days, when traveling far away, eating rabbit cold is a must-have item, and it has almost become a custom.

Wei Wei came back after washing the dishes, picked a piece of rabbit to eat, nodded, picked another piece of bamboo shoots, put it in her mouth, nodded again, and then stretched out her hand to another piece of rabbit meat.

Li Junge hurriedly protected the pot: "This can't be stopped, right?"

Wei Wei smiled embarrassedly: "Oh, this cold-eating rabbit tastes so delicious! It's spicy and fragrant, as fragrant as spicy beef jerky, and it's not so hard to chew."

Li Junge laughed loudly: "Actually, the method is pretty similar, but rabbit meat is much cheaper than beef. It will be delicious when it is sprinkled with fried peanuts tomorrow and served with porridge in the morning."

Putting the pot aside to cool down and covering it, Li Junge and Miao Wa pulled out a pair of backs each, and prepared to go to the stream to cut bamboo to make a bamboo raft while there was still light.

Wei Wei and Lin Zhao couldn't stay idle either, and said, "Then let's go help."

Li Junge smiled and said: "What are you going to do? Why don't you take your guns, practice aiming, reloading and so on. But don't really shoot! This thing is very strict, Ayin has fired a few shots, why? If you shoot a gun, you have to register it, and even the bullet casings have to be retrieved.”

Lin Zhao has long wanted to learn this thing, and Wei Wei also likes to play with machines, so she kept saying yes.

The four of them came to the stream, and Li Junge and Miao Wa chose a tall bamboo forest. The bamboo was thick as a thigh, and there were many sharp thorns growing at the bottom. People in Jiachuan called it "Jiannan".

The bamboo is very hard, because Li Junge only requires buoyancy, not softness or hardness, so he only selects young bamboos that are one or two years old.

The back knife is heavy and heavy, half a meter long, and it is extremely easy to use. The two of them cut down a piece with three strokes.

Shaved off the branches and bamboo and dragged them to the water's edge, Li Junge cut some vines and cut them open. Together with Miao Wa, they tied Jiannan into two big bamboo rafts.

Wei Wei and Lin Zhao were laughing and aiming at the gun by the stream, taking out the magazine and putting it back in, just playing a novelty.

Li Junge and Miao Wa were tired and sweaty, so they simply scrubbed by the stream again, and the four of them walked slowly towards the camp.

The sky was already very dark, the cold air rose in the mountains and forests, and the mist began to diffuse upwards from the stream.

Li Junge said with a smile: "The river is foggy and the mountains are foggy and rainy. Tomorrow will be a fine day again."

At this moment, there was a sound of "hangchihangchi" in front of him.

Li Junge and Miao Wa's expressions suddenly became solemn, and at the same time they reached out to take the rifles from Weiwei and Lin Zhao.

Weiwei also became nervous, and asked in a low voice, "Er Pi, what is it?"

Miao Wa scolded in a low voice: "Damn, this is in trouble, wild boar eating bamboo shoots."

Li Junge also said in a low voice: "Old man Ge, now the wild boars in the mountains are always wandering around the village, so they are not so afraid of people. It stands to reason that with us around, wild boars shouldn't come around."

Miao Wa said: "What should we do? This dog is sandwiched between us and the camp. If we move forward now, we will drive it to the camp."

Li Junge looked at the sky and the thickening fog, and said, "This thing won't go back the same way, and it will eat a large piece overnight. If we wait any longer, we will encounter it sooner or later. We can't hide it."

With a look of determination in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "There is no other way but to do it!"

Miao Wa nodded, and said to Lin Zhao: "Zhaowa, you and Wei Wei retreat slowly to the stream first, you have never seen how powerful wild boars are, and bringing them will get in the way. If something happens later, you can go to the stream Jump in, don't hesitate."

The sound of "Hang Chi Han Chi" was getting closer, Lin Zhao's face was pale, but he still nodded solemnly, took Wei Wei's hand and stepped back lightly.

Li Junge pulled out his back, hung the belt on the end of the knife on his wrist, and then raised his gun to aim forward.
