The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 130 The game entrance, spirits enter the throat

The stewed rabbit meat with white radish, cut the white radish into hob pieces, cut the rabbit meat into pieces, and the ingredients such as chicken legs, green onions, ginger and peppercorns, etc., are all grown by ourselves.

Zheng Hui has a pair of magical hands, and the ingredients in his hands will always turn into a delicious dish.And it seems that he is a natural chef, he dares to cook big meat and fish dishes, and the taste is really good.

There are many pepper trees in Wujiayuzi. Even in winter, there are still scattered pepper trees hanging on the trees.

The biggest advantage of growing peppercorns is that you don’t have to worry about being stolen. Workers who don’t often pick peppercorns can’t get much of this stuff after working for half a day.Moreover, the pepper tree is full of thorns, if it is accidentally scratched, it will not be worth it.

The chicken legs, green onions and ginger are also grown by Wang Fumin and Zhao Shiling in the small vegetable garden on the other side of the farm. One bed of ginger and one bed of spring onion are enough for the whole family to eat for a year.

Zheng Hui peeled the pure hare to remove the dirt, cut it into pieces, and fried it with oil in a pan to remove the fishy smell.After the fried rabbit meat comes out, then stir-fry the aniseed ingredients. After the aroma comes out, then pour in the rabbit meat pieces on the plate, stir-fry quickly to soak in the flavor, then pour water and white radish block, then cover the pot and start to simmer over low heat.

When the weather is good, Zheng Hui will cook in the open space outside.When he was free, he set up a pot stove at the western end of the row of chicken coops, which was made of mud and wheat straw, and then roasted over fire.

When the rainy day comes, Zheng Hui plans to cover the pot with a large thin slab of stone.But for this pot and stove, Wang Shaodong felt that it could not withstand the few rains in summer.

The pot stove is very simple, but it is very practical. There are many ready-made firewood around, and it is most suitable for cooking the pot stove.

Moreover, the meat cooked with small firewood such as thorn sticks and sour jujube sticks on the mountain will have a special fragrance, which is a delicacy that people who use gas and induction cookers will never enjoy.

Because the chickens are still eating on the hillside not far away, Wang Shaodong and Zheng Tao cannot go back to the house to eat, so this meal can only be eaten between Wang Shaodong and Zheng Tao. It is eaten on the bluestone board where it is now.

Besides, Zheng Tao's shoes were worn by Zheng Hui, and it was impossible for Zheng Tao to come back.

Zheng Hui's shoes were completely entangled by the king snake just now, and the uppers were completely taken off, and they could not be worn at all.It can also be seen from here how strong the King Snake's winding ability is.

The hare meat had to be stewed for a while, so Zheng Hui carried the small square table and steamed buns and walked towards Wang Shaodong and the others.

"What? It's ready so soon? Zheng Hui, stewed hare with radish?" Wang Shaodong blinked and looked at Zheng Hui who came over.

Zheng Hui shook his head, found a flat ground around him, put down the small square table, and said: "Brother Dong, you and my younger brother have a cup of tea here first, wait slowly, the hare is a bit old and not easy to stew, We have to wait at least another four or 10 minutes."

"Brother, remember to bring me a pair of shoes later."

"Okay!" Zheng Hui smiled, looked at his younger brother and said.

What Zheng Hui brought this time was a small square table and steamed buns, and next time he will bring a kettle, water cup and bowl.

Wang Shaodong took the initiative to stand up, patted the dust on his buttocks and said, "How about this, Zheng Tao, you watch here first, I don't think there's anything wrong, I'll go back and help your brother."

"You go, if there is a real situation, I will call, you two have to come here quickly."

"Brother Dong, the fire is about to go out, we have to go back quickly."

The bluestone slab where Wang Shaodong and Zheng Tao are located is about ten meters away from the open-air chicken coop they chose. The entire 1000-square-meter chicken coop has a panoramic view and is the best monitoring place.

Back to the row of chicken coops on the mountain, Wang Shaodong entered their dormitory first, took a sip of water, and then took a handful of dried chilies, a piece of rose head pickles, a stack of pancakes, and two bottles of Jingzhi Baigan.

"Brother Dong, I put pepper in the meat, and I put a lot of it."

All three of them can eat spicy food, and they all love to drink.

"It's not the same taste. The spicy method is different from eating chili directly."

Zheng Hui smiled in understanding, and nodded. He will definitely have two dried red peppers when he eats later.

"Hey Brother Dong, should we get that snake at noon or in the afternoon?"

Wang Shaodong rolled his eyes, and then said: "The main dish at noon is stewed hare with white radish. You can also have chili fried snake, and at night we will have snake stewed chicken soup. It will be perfect. Hey, I said, Zheng Hui, Get two plates, and I'll send a bowl of rabbit meat to your dad and my dad later."

The hare they caught today is considered big, weighing more than three and a half catties. After removing the skin and internal organs, it is not bad to have two catties of meat. Zheng Hui felt that it was not enough, so he said: "Brother Dong, I It’s okay to look at this rabbit meat, it’s good enough for the three of us to satisfy our hunger. But this snake is big enough, we can eat it for three or five days, and it’s no problem to send some to my dad and your dad. After lunch, I'll make this snake meat, and when it's done, you and my younger brother will send it to the elders of our two families, and I'll watch the chickens here."

Wang Shaodong nodded: "That's fine, just do as you said. Then I'll put the wine on your brother's side first."

While talking, Wang Shaodong brought Zheng Tao a pair of shoes by the way.

Zheng Tao finally had shoes to wear, and he jumped happily, feeling refreshed all over.

"Brother Dong, how is my brother's cooking?"

"We have to wait a little longer. The hare stewed with white radish will be ready in another half an hour. Then he will make a stir-fried snake meat with pepper. The three of us will have a good drink later."

Usually, the brothers would drink a cup of tea in three nights, but they would not drink too much or get drunk.

The men in the mountain village have a tradition of drinking a little every night. It is cold in the mountains in winter, so it is necessary to drink a tea bowl of wine to warm up the body.

The three brothers went up and down, and finally packed up their lunch before twelve o'clock in the morning and went to the top of this small hill, a place with bluestone slabs.

Tired of raising chickens, it is really rare to have such a picnic full of mountain and wild taste.When did Wang Shaodong dare to imagine such a life in his previous life?We ate the original wild game, drank the earliest sorghum Daqu wine in the history of our country, looked at the chickens scattered on the hillside looking for bugs and grass seeds in the distance, and looked at the Taohualing Village at the foot of the mountain , Wang Shaodong smiled proudly and said: "Brothers, our meal today is really enjoyable, come on, let's drink more today."

They said they should drink more, but Wang Shaodong brought over two bottles of Jingzhi Baigan. With the three brothers' drinking capacity, they would never be able to get drunk with this amount of wine.
