Chapter 17 Stir-Fried Rabbit Meat

Yingchun took two little maids to wash the rabbit meat, singed off the dirty hair, chopped the rabbit meat into diced meat the size of a thumb belly, piled it all up in the basin, and prepared various seasonings.

The big stove of the Liu family has seven stoves in a row, which are sealed when not cooking, and a pot of water sits on it to keep warm.

After a few little maids finished packing, they greeted Liu Sheng's family: "Ms. Sheng, everything is ready, just waiting for your boss to show his skills."

Liu Sheng's family frowned: "Rabbit meat is smelly, if you don't pay attention to it, it's not easy to cook. Everyone can taste it casually."

After finishing speaking, he politely asked Lily to sit down, asked a little girl to light a fire for her, and cooked half a pot of rabbit diced by himself.The meat just out of the pan has an oily aroma, it is hot and delicious, and the little girls are so greedy that you push me and push you.

Liu Sheng's family picked up a piece and tasted it, then frowned again: "It's okay, it's always not very tasty."

"Ms. Sheng, why don't you let me try it." When she was frying the meat just now, Lily had already seen it clearly.This Liu Sheng's family is indeed a good cook, but she seems to be more accustomed to stewing. The umami taste of rabbit meat is lost during the long stewing, and it is not so delicious.

There are all kinds of utensils and seasonings on the Liujia stove, Lily's eyes are a little hot when she sees it, and she can't help but recommend herself.

The members of Liu Sheng's family looked Lily up and down, saw that she was thin and ugly, but her body was well-groomed, and her fingernails were not full of dirt like common peasant women, but were clean, so they smiled and said, "So, Do you have a unique skill?"

Before anyone else could speak, Yingchun became anxious. She knew her sister well, and she had never seen her seriously. How could she cook delicate meals?
"Sister! Don't mess around just looking at everything here!" If Lily wastes a lot of oil and salt and fails to cook something edible, not only will Lily's impression in the hearts of everyone in the kitchen become bad, but Yingchun will also be affected. It will be a big loss of face.

Lily smiled and glanced at Yingchun, and said to Aunt Sheng: "I don't dare to be a stunt, but I have some experience in treating rabbit meat."

Anyway, it's something I eat, and I don't use it as a tribute. Besides, it's Bairao, and I didn't buy it with my own money. Aunt Sheng and the little girls have different visions, and they don't feel sorry for this bit of rabbit meat. They waved their hands generously: "You do it, we also secretly learn."

Yingchun stomped her feet anxiously, Lily ignored her, and after a while the dishes were fried, it would be clear.

Lily took a plate of rabbit meat, added autumn oil (Note 1), shredded green onion and ginger, and rice wine to marinate for enough time, let the little girl control the fire, pour about a bowl of clear oil down, and listen to Yingchun heavy in the back gasp.

The temperature of the oil gradually rises, throw a handful of peppercorns and a few star anises into it, the warm oil will force out the fragrance of the peppercorns and star anises, take out the spices from Lily for later use, order the little girl to continue to increase the fire, wait for the oil temperature to rise to the highest, pour it into the rabbit Stir fry the meat quickly, remove from the heat as soon as it changes color, add autumn oil, a little salt, and sprinkle half of the fried pepper on the remaining temperature of the pot, and it's done.

In the past, Mrs. Liu was taking the exams in the provincial capital, and Mrs. Sheng followed him to serve. During the same year, they invited each other to eat, and the cooks would also exchange experiences.Aunt Sheng had seen this kind of stir-frying with hot oil at that time, but she didn't take it seriously.

Lily put the rabbit meat on a white porcelain plate, took a pair of chopsticks and asked Mrs. Sheng to try it. She put a piece into her mouth unceremoniously and chewed, her eyes widened and she gave Lily a thumbs up.

Rabbit meat is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The umami taste is locked in the hot oil without losing it at all. The numbing aroma of peppercorns is stimulated by the high temperature and becomes more alluring. After one bite, half of the body is numb, but it makes people unable to stop , I just want to taste such excitement again.

Aunt Sheng is someone who has seen the world, so she ate a few mouthfuls, and asked her colleagues in the kitchen and the little girl who helped the kitchen to come and taste it. She just watched Lily's movements intently, and she has already seen the trick, so she wrote down the recipe. , thinking that it will be a new dish in two days and delivered to Master Liu's dining table.

Just now, the little girls had already eaten a lot of rabbit meat fried by Mrs. Sheng, and now they smelled the aroma of prickly ash in their noses, and they all swallowed their saliva, scrambling to eat.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yingchun gave Lily a pair of chopsticks: "Sister, you can eat too!"

How could she not eat a single bite of the rabbit meat her sister brought and the delicious dishes her sister cooked?To eat more is enough!

Lily has long been greedy, Song Haonian can hunt rabbits, but the Song family doesn't have enough oil and salt for her to show her skills, usually she roasts it, or chops it up to cook rabbit porridge, how could it be so oily after a bite Satisfied with the aroma of meat and pepper?

So you're welcome, and ate up the rest of the rabbit meat with the little girls. In the end, there was another little girl holding a plate, flipping through a large pile of peppercorns, occasionally digging out some broken diced seeds to eat. addiction.

At this time, Lily put down her chopsticks long ago, put her hands on her knees neatly, sat upright, and talked with Mrs. Sheng.

Aunt Sheng was just chatting with her just now, and the chatter was not her Li Baihe, but anyone who was free.After she showed her skills, Mrs. Sheng looked at her with admiration, and her tone was a little more respectful.

They are people who rely on craftsmanship to make a living, and people with craftsmanship are the most important.Lily didn't hide her secrets, she explained in detail how to pay attention to the temperature of the fire and oil, how to use rice wine, green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, and the talk with Mrs. Sheng was very speculative.

For a while, Mrs. Sheng said: "Do you have any rabbits at home? If you have any, I will send some tomorrow, and I will buy them with you."

Lily said modestly: "It's just casual, how can I be an aunt and a serious business?"

Hearing that her sister refused to ask for money, Yingchun's eyes almost popped out, and she quietly pulled her little sister in the same room and said, "I thought my sister had become smarter, but I didn't expect her to be even more stupid."

She doesn't even want the money sent to her. Is she stupid?
Lily was polite, and Mrs. Sheng was more and more satisfied, but she refused to take advantage of her: "In the future, if you want new game, bring it to me first. I will buy it at the market price, and I will never lose you."

Lily refused again and again before agreeing, and then sent a bunch of good words, complimenting Mrs. Sheng for her generosity and kindness. Mr. Liu's family relied on her so much.

When Baihe left, Liu Sheng's family had already admired Baihe very much. If they hadn't heard that she was married, they would have promised her to their own nephew.

Lily whispered to Yingchun, asking her to find a convenient container to put a bowl of rabbit meat for her.Yingchun randomly found a rough porcelain bowl filled with meat and put it in her basket, and sent her out, just as if she wanted to take it home to eat.

When they arrived at the concierge, Yingchun told the two of them that Baihe would come to see her or Mrs. Sheng in the future, and asked the concierge not to stop her.Seeing that Lily had only entered for two hours, the two concierges won Aunt Liu's heart. They deeply felt that this woman was not simple, so they agreed with a smile.

Lily took out the rabbit meat and gave it to the two. They were very happy, and naturally they would not embarrass her in the future.
