Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 33 The Open Kitchen
Cheng He held the child and brought Jiang Yutong and Li Tao to the ancestral hall.

It's really busy here.Here is a huge open-air kitchen.

Several huge stoves were built with bricks on the open ground, some for boiling water, some for stewing pots, some for steaming, and some for stewing.

There are several people beside each stove, those who are in charge of the spoon, those who chop vegetables, those who serve dishes, and those who light the fire, are all busy and orderly.There is the sound of chopping meat all around, very rhythmic.

There are many stoves, and there are many people. In short, the scene is huge.

Everyone who is busy has a satisfied smile on their face.

Jiang Yutong was very surprised.

People who come from the city find it difficult to understand this kind of simple satisfaction.

She was walking among the busy crowd, when she suddenly saw a bucket of white flowers, she didn't know what it was, soaked in some seasoning, it was greasy, and asked in surprise, "You want this too?"

Cheng He said: "This is fat intestines, of course I want it."

Judging by her appearance, she must be disgusted with Feichang.No, this is prejudice, he must justify Fei Chang's name.

So, in the tone of a professional chef, he explained to her what a good dish fat sausage is.In fact, fat intestines can make a lot of dishes, whether in the city or in the countryside, the dishes made of fat intestines are popular with many people.

For example, fat sausages from all over the country, iron plate fat sausages, dry pot fat sausages, braised fat sausages, etc., almost cover the tastes and hobbies of all parts of the country.

The mountain people are very particular about making fatty sausages. Wash the large intestines with sweet potato powder and salt. Sweet potato powder has a good effect on cleaning the fatty intestines. It is absolutely green and will not have any chemical washing residues, and then cut it;

Then add some salt, chicken essence, sweet potato powder and ginger to the chopped fat and marinate for a while; heat the oil in the pot, fry the sauerkraut, green peppers, red and green peppers for a while, then add the intestines and fry them together; cover the pot for a while Served.

Don't fry for too long, or it will be old and not crispy.

Cheng He took a deep breath, as if he had already made this dish, which aroused his taste buds.He solemnly said: "Believe me, this is really a very good appetizer!"

For the people in the mountain village, this is a good dish and should not be wasted.

Cheng Xinxin didn't blink her eyes, swallowed quietly, then pouted and said, "Father, I want to eat."

Cheng He replied: "Okay, let's eat later! It's delicious."

Jiang Yutong smiled lightly. She knew that fat sausages were a famous dish, but she had only seen fat sausages served on plates at banquets, but she had never seen such fatty sausages packed in buckets.

Cheng Shi hung his arms and wandered around here. When he saw Cheng He and his party, he shouted loudly: "Heizi, come quickly, and you will be the next one! Come quickly! Everything is ready."

Cheng He was taken aback, there is still time to play by himself?
On a stove over there, stewed pig's trotters with dried bamboo shoots are slowly being cooked.The pot is covered, but from time to time, some dried bamboo shoots are released from the side of the pot, mixed with the smell of meat.

Dried bamboo shoots are naturally the spring bamboo shoots in the mountains after the spring rain. The spring bamboo shoots grow quickly, and the villagers pick them back. If they can’t eat fresh ones, they dry them and eat them slowly.

Stewed pork trotters with dried bamboo shoots is a good choice right now.The fragrant dried bamboo shoots and pig's trotters are really the perfect match.

In fact, this dish is not only delicious, but also very good in nutrition, which is good for stabilizing blood pressure.

Cheng He came here with the child in his arms, and asked the idle Cheng Shi, "Isn't someone doing it here? Why did you call me? Also, what are you hanging around here? You're not doing anything and you're pointing fingers?"

Seeing that Jiang Yutong, a beautiful woman, always followed Cheng He, and seemed to be chatting very enthusiastically just now, Cheng Shi asked curiously, "What did you guys talk about just now?"

Cheng He said with a smile: "She just asked what was in that bucket, she didn't know Fat Chang."

Cheng Shi was stunned, she didn't know this!Then he said proudly, "Not only do we eat fat intestines, but we can even cook pig urine bubbles!"

Pig urine foam?Jiang Yutong frowned slightly.

Li Tao followed behind, but smiled slightly.

Cheng He glanced and saw it.He found this smile very harsh.

What's so ridiculous about working people raising pigs and eating them by themselves?The name is a bit ugly, but is this going to be laughed at?
So he also said: "Don't listen to the bad name. This dish is not only delicious, but also a medicinal meal. Some diseases may not be able to take medicine well, but eating this is very effective."

Cheng Shi hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes! The name is not good, but it is very delicious when fried."

Jiang Yutong was curious and asked, "What disease can be cured?"

Cheng He introduced it very solemnly: "Generally, children who wet the bed eat this, wrap it well! There are also elderly people who urinate frequently, and don't know how much it will cost to go to a big hospital, and they will suffer. Eat this, it's okay!"

Cheng Shi chimed in and said, "That's right, this is what you eat to make up for what you eat."

At this time, he suddenly had a sense of superiority, he knew so many things that beauties didn't!
Jiang Yutong suddenly felt that since he asked to watch people prepare the whole pig feast, he should not look at it with colored eyes.People in the mountains have lived and eaten this way for generations, and I have no position to dislike them.

So he asked very humbly: "Then what you are talking about...how is the pig urine bubble made? If it can't be washed clean, isn't it dirty?"

She was really curious about this.If people can eat it, at least it must be washed very clean, and the smell must be removed, right?

Cheng Shi hurriedly wanted to answer: "That's right... that, first..." After thinking about it, I felt that I could only eat, but not cook, and it was not good to say it naturally, so I pushed Cheng He again, " Heizi, you are the chef, tell me!"

Cheng He smiled and said: "Of course it needs to be washed. Can you not be particular about what you eat? Use our own sweet potato powder to wash it repeatedly, wash it with clear oil after washing, and then blanch it in boiling water again. Further remove the smell. Then add the ginger aniseed that removes the fishy smell, cover it with a large fire and simmer until it is cooked thoroughly..."

"Is that all right?" Jiang Yutong asked.

Cheng He shook his head: "No, no, it's still early, it's too early, take it out of the pot, cut it into shreds again, then put sesame oil in the frying pan, add onion, garlic, spices, pepper and fragrant leaves to sauté, then Pour in the chopped shreds, fry them until fragrant, and put them on a plate...that smells so good!"

Cheng Shi swallowed.

He felt that Cheng He was really amazing. Not only did he cook delicious food, he even spoke so well!Just listening to it makes your mouth water.

Then he was a little disappointed again. If he could do it himself, wouldn't he be able to show his face in front of beautiful women?

Cheng He looked at Li Tao's expression and knew that the guy was not convinced, so he added: "Actually, I think it's okay to make good dishes with good ingredients; it's okay to make good dishes from bad things. That’s what we can do! This reflects the wisdom of our mountain people.”

Cheng Shi hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, it's such a rationale! Good meat and ribs, who wouldn't know how to cook!"

Jiang Yutong was really surprised by Cheng He, he didn't expect a mountain man to say such philosophical words.In fact, this principle is not only applicable to cooking, but also to all walks of life.

If you can do small things that others look down on, that is called ability.

An ordinary mountain dweller explained the truth very clearly in one sentence.I really can't underestimate it.

Li Tao, who had been silent by the side, looked up at Cheng He.

To be honest, such a mountain person with a child has never officially appeared in his eyes.When he was in the mountains before, Cheng He jumped out suddenly, killed the wild boar, and rescued Zhou Qiang. He was indeed a little surprised, but that was all.

Just a strong mountain villager!

But what I didn't expect was that he actually had the ability to make Jiang Yutong get closer again and again.Moreover, this kid seems to be better at rhetoric than himself, he can tell even a pig into the water, the key is to convince Jiang Yutong.

interesting!
Li Tao's face darkened, his eyes lowered, and he stopped looking at them.
