My village can't be like this

Chapter 348 Making a wooden steamer

"Hey, why did you suddenly kill so many rabbits?"

Su Ying has eaten a lot of rabbits in the past six months, so naturally she won't say why she eats rabbits.

It's just that the rabbits raised at home are relatively fat. If you kill one on weekdays, a family of four would have to eat it twice.

Now that Zhang An had killed three of them at once, Su Ying felt that she would have to eat them for a week no matter what.

"It's okay. I'll do it differently this time. I can usually eat it as a snack."

Three freshly baked skinned rabbits, after a close encounter with the cold kitchen knife, still failed to warm the cold blade.

It's just that the three whole rabbits that were originally white and tender have now turned into lumps of meat.

The three rabbits weighed more than ten kilograms in total, and after being chopped into pieces, it filled a basin.

The old rule is to wash and marinate to remove the fishy and odor. There is only more than ten kilograms of rabbit meat, so you don’t need to marinate it for too long, half an hour is enough.

After marinating, heat the pan and heat the oil. Once the oil is warm, start frying the rabbit meat. Then sprinkle some spices prepared by my mother at home in a timely manner.

After stir-frying at high temperature, the moisture in the rabbit meat can be locked in and it will taste delicious.

What Zhang An is frying today is cold rabbit, and the spicy tubes and Sichuan peppercorns are definitely indispensable.

Each section of the tube was spicy, and Zhang An sifted through the chili rice inside.

Later, when he went to buy cold rabbit, it cost dozens of yuan per catty, but it turned out that most of it was tube spicy and chili rice.

There was rabbit meat, but it was all in tiny diced pieces. After peeling off the peppers, there was just a little bit of rabbit meat.

Today Zhang An stir-fries himself and cuts the rabbit meat into larger pieces.

Although it takes a while to fry in the pan, it is still enjoyable to eat.

Otherwise, if you spend a long time picking and picking, you will end up picking out only diced meat as big as the head of a chopstick in addition to the peppers, which will be a waste of time.

Keep stirring over high heat until there is no moisture left in the pot.

The reason why cold rabbit can be stored for a long time is because when stir-frying, the water in the pot is eliminated.

As long as there is no water in it, it won't go rancid in a short period of time, and it won't be a problem if you leave it for two or three days.

"Okay, we're ready to eat. There's no need to cook any other dishes."

Three rabbits were fried in a pot full of them.

The rabbit meat inside is fried bright red and shiny. You can tell at a glance that the spicy taste of the tube has been fried into the meat. The smell of this smell makes people very appetizing.

The family of three gathered around the small dining table with a bowl full of spicy cold rabbit. Su Ying also cooked a vegetarian cabbage.

While eating, Zhang An scooped a ladle of rabbit meat and chili into the bowl.

It is originally blood-red rice with a spicy and spicy taste that is very appetizing.

The spicy tube used to fry the rabbit, although it had been soaked in water, was finally fried by Zhang An until it was very crispy.

It tastes crunchy and crunchy, unlike the ones sold outside. The pepper skin will stick to your teeth when you eat it.

"Hiss~ So numb, so spicy, but so enjoyable."

Su Ying originally couldn't eat spicy food, but she couldn't stop eating this pot of rabbit.

Because of the spicy and fragrant taste, coupled with the refreshing, firm and chewy rabbit meat, it is really appetizing.

Even though she was sweating profusely from the heat, the hand holding the chopsticks still unconsciously put it into the pot.

"Eat slowly and don't rush. Don't choke."

Zhang Jianguo saw his daughter-in-law eating in a hurry and quickly asked her to eat more slowly.

It’s not that she ate too much, it’s just that the dish was full of chili peppers and she was worried that she might choke if she ate too quickly.

In the eyes of Zhang Jianguo's generation, there is no thought of controlling their diet. They only know that being able to eat is a blessing.

Although there are a lot of these peppers in the pot, it’s okay to eat more.

Considering that Su Ying couldn't eat spicy chili peppers, Zhang An only used the crunchy spicy ones at home.

It’s the kind of not-very-spicy chili that Wang Fang often deep-fries until crispy and serves to everyone with drinks or as snacks.

Although this kind of pepper is a bit spicy, eating it does not harm your health.

Many people who don’t eat chili peppers can eat it without worrying about having their butts on fire when going to the toilet.

"Okay, you can't eat anymore, otherwise you won't be able to digest it."

The spicy and spicy cold rabbit mixed with rice was simply too delicious. Su Ying had already eaten four bowls of rice without realizing it.

She usually eats at most two bowls of rice per meal. If she continues to eat, she will definitely be stretched out later.

"It's so annoying. My stomach is a little full, but I feel like I'm still hungry."

Su Ying looked like she was getting high. Although her stomach felt bloated, she still wanted to eat more.

This is a typical example of the mouth controlling the brain, and then the stomach can only suffer.

"Then digest it for a while, and then eat it when you can't hold it any longer. This rabbit meat is still quite delicious after it's cold."

It is meant to be eaten cold. Although it can be eaten hot, it tastes more delicious when eaten cold.

When it is completely cool, it can be used as a snack like spicy strips.

After much persuasion, Su Ying reluctantly put down her chopsticks.

But it was too late. When I took it into my mouth, there was no adverse reaction.

Now when I stopped eating with my chopsticks, I found that my stomach had begun to feel uncomfortable.

It feels good to eat spicy food and drink spicy food, but you will regret it after eating.

All in all, it's just that Zhang An's fried rabbit was too much.

Su Ying, who couldn't stand spicy food, had to eat several mouthfuls of rice after one bite of spicy rabbit meat.

"Okay, okay, just hold on for a while and I'll find you something to help with digestion."

Zhang An planted several hawthorn trees in the space, and now there are many hawthorn fruits hanging on them.

Zhang An has tried this thing, and the effect of squeezing it into juice is better than that of stomach-building and digestion tablets. It takes 5 minutes to take effect.

"No, why should I use other things to digest what I eat on my own? It's all your fault. Who asked you to cook like that?"

Oh, what a sentence to eat based on your ability.

"Then why are you just standing like this? Mom will be happy when she comes back. Your belly looks like you are pregnant."

When Su Ying heard this, she lowered her head and looked at her belly, and found that it was a bit bulging just like Zhang An said.

"Then if you don't go quickly, why are you still standing?"

When Su Ying thought about her mother-in-law's shining eyes, she suddenly shuddered all over.

"But you ate it on your own initiative. Don't you feel it's a pity if you digest it?"

"One"

Seeing Zhang An's joking expression, Su Ying opened her eyes.

It is not the legendary saying "Labour and Capital Shu Dao Mountain". This move is actually not powerful enough because the chanting time is too long.

People in the village are all straightforward, so they won't give you enough time to react. It doesn't exist.

Su Ying had only been here for a few months, but she had already learned the tricks of the maids in the village.

Sure enough, it has nothing to do with people, but is an innate talent of the region. "Okay, okay, just wait."

Zhang An couldn't afford to offend a woman like one, two or three, so he just sneaked into the kitchen to work.

I picked some fresh hawthorn from the space, washed it, squeezed it into juice directly in the space, and mixed it with some space spring water before bringing it out.

You can also take it out and pound it, but it's too troublesome to clean up the mess. It's not as easy as squeezing the juice directly in the space.

It is best not to drink the juice of those hawthorn fruits in the space directly, because Zhang An had to repay the consequences and lost his teeth, and it took him three days to recover.

Not only was it mixed with space spring water, Zhang An also had to add some sugar and honey to combine the sour taste.

"Okay, drink this and you won't be able to hold it for a few minutes."

Because of the honey and sugar at home, as well as the dilution of the spring water in the space, Su Ying drank a glass and wanted to drink more.

Although Zhang An drank a pot, he couldn't let her drink the rest.

Otherwise, it won't work if it's overdigested later. It's a rare occasion to make it. Zhang An put the rest in the refrigerator and expected to use it at night.

After serving his wife, Zhang An went to the old house to find the red chun wood recipe he wanted.

Originally thinking that there was still a lot of wood, Zhang An planned to learn how to make a rice steamer by himself, just to practice his skills.

But I found that there was not much red toon wood left at home, and there was no room for waste.

So Zhang An gave up the idea of ​​doing it himself and went to Carpenter Lin's house to ask him for help.

"Uncle Carpenter, I'm not free these two days. Please help me make two steamers."

When Zhang An ran to Carpenter Lin's house, Carpenter Lin was resting instead of doing carpentry work.

"Okay, go get the ingredients."

Zhang An came over and Lin Carpenter readily agreed.

Originally, Carpenter Lin thought that what Zhang An was going to make was just two wooden steamers for steaming rice.

He didn't ask Zhang An why he didn't do it himself, because he knew Zhang An was lazy sometimes.

But when Zhang An brought all the wood over, Carpenter Lin was dumbfounded.

"No, when you bring so many ingredients, do you want to make a steamer for steaming cows or steaming horses?"

This pile of red chrysanthemum wood has been modified into roughly eight or nine boards, and the quality is pretty good.

As a carpenter, Carpenter Lin liked the material very much when he saw it.

But Zhang An brought so much wood to make a big steamer.

At this time, he understood why Zhang An came to him. Because Zhang An couldn't handle this big guy, he asked him to take action.

"I plan to make these two steamers to steam wine, so I can make them as big as I can. If they are small, they won't be able to steam much grain."

Anyway, Zhang An had planned it. A wooden steamer and a wine steamer should be at least one meter high.

"Why do you still want to make wine by yourself? Wang Xinhua's making wine every day is not enough for you to drink. He is so idle every day that he has nothing to do."

For people who are not specialized in roasting wine, it would be very troublesome to put it away after brewing it once. In Lin Carpenter's eyes, Zhang An was in a hurry.

"I heard from Mr. Huang that the liquor brewed from blood rice is good. Last year my family's harvest of blood rice was pretty good, so I plan to brew a batch and have a look."

Originally, he thought Zhang An had nothing to do, but when he heard Zhang An talking about using blood rice to make wine, Lin Carpenter immediately changed his attitude.

"Zhang An, tell me the truth, did Huang Er give you his brewing method?"

Zhang An's mouth was filled with blood rice and Huang Er's. Carpenter Lin still didn't understand the meaning behind it.

In the village back then, he, Lao Huang, used so much grain and only produced so much wine, but he was laughed at by many people in the village.

But later, Huang Er drank that wine to cure his poor health, and one bottle was sold for more than 100 yuan. Suddenly those guys who made fun of others stopped laughing.

At that time, there were not many people who had tasted Laohuang's wine, and Carpenter Lin was one of them.

Zhang An just smiled and didn't answer, and Lin Carpenter suddenly felt the bottom of his heart.

"We'll make this steamer right away. I promise it'll be ready for you in two days. But when the wine comes out, I'll give it a try."

Although the blood rice wine made by Lao Huang was widely spread in the village, many people remained skeptical because they had never tasted it.

But Carpenter Lin is different. He is one of the few who has tasted it himself.

To this day, he can't forget this incident, because it was just a few ounces of wine that knocked him out, and it didn't leave a deep impression on him.

"You'll be satisfied with just a pound of wine. Don't worry, I'll drink as much as you want when the time comes. If you can't finish it, I'll let you carry it back."

As soon as he said this, Carpenter Lin was happy and immediately began to move the materials back to the main room to start work.

After measuring the dimensions of the wood, the carpenter took out his tools and got ready to start.

"Breaking materials is a personal skill. If you can't break it well, you need to practice more."

The first step in making a steamer is to break the materials. Carpenter Lin knew that Zhang An was not skilled at it, so he taught him while doing it.

If you want to make a big steamer, the steamer board will naturally need to be broken larger, which will naturally take a lot of time.

Zhang An watched Carpenter Lin take action, and he also picked up an ax to break materials together.

"Come on, come on, don't do anything. Just do what you have to do."

But before two pieces were split, Lin Carpenter started to attack people.

Without him, because Zhang An was not good at it, he broke the fine red lip wood every time.

These materials were all treasures in Lin Carpenter's eyes. How could he tolerate Zhang An's wasteful behavior?

Zhang An, who was kicked out, felt helpless.

When I got home, I only saw Su Ying lying on the recliner in the courtyard.

Zhang An walked over and took a look and found that the silly wife had fallen asleep leaning on the recliner.

It seemed that he was indeed too full at noon. He had only been out for a while, but Su Ying slept so soundly.

The current temperature has not yet reached [-] degrees. Zhang An was worried that she would catch a cold while sleeping in the yard, so he gently picked her up and brought her back to the room.

But no matter how careful she was, no matter how light her movements were, Su Ying still woke up when she went upstairs.

"Hey, you're back, ha~~~, Uncle Zhu just called and said that they are coming to our house tomorrow."

Su Ying rubbed her eyes and yawned.

Both hands naturally hugged her man's neck. Although she woke up, she still wanted to continue sleeping.

"Okay, I understand. If you are sleepy, just go back to sleep."

Back in the bedroom, Zhang An put his daughter-in-law on the bed. Su Ying didn't say anything, just licked her lips and slowly fell asleep again.

Zhu Yuliang will go to the countryside tomorrow, and there is a high probability that he will come here to register for him.

Originally, Zhang An thought it would be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but he didn't expect them to come so soon.

But it would be better if he came here and hung up the sign earlier so that he could release the two black-necked cranes.

Some time ago, Zhang An underestimated the popularity of the two black-necked cranes because there were so many people watching them.

Every day, there are people outside the fence in their backyard. Even the rapeseed that is about to bloom in the field outside the fence has been trampled a lot.

In order to reduce the heat and restore tranquility to the backyard, Zhang An could only shut the two black-necked cranes into the space.
