There are many types of Sichuan cuisine, and based on their geographical location and specialty types, they are divided into Rongpai (Shanghebang), Yupai (Xiahebang), and Yangangpai (Xiaohebang). Each of the three mainstream cuisines has its own characteristics. complement each other.
Nowadays, business is booming. Xia Ji Cold Pot Chuan Chuan launched by Xia Mingyue is one of the Shanghebang snacks among Sichuan snacks.
The first thing Xia Mingyue wants to do today is white meat with garlic paste, which is very common in Sichuan cuisine.
The fine fat and lean pork belly is cooked with ginger slices and rice wine until it is almost cooked. After it is completely cooled, it is cut into thin slices.
In principle, the slices of garlic white meat should be as thin as possible. Xia Mingyue’s knife skills are good, and the kitchen knife in her hand is very sharp and smooth, so the slices of meat are as thin as paper.
Arrange these thin slices of meat into a circle along the shape of the plate, stacking them layer by layer until all the pieces of meat are spread out on the plate.
The sauce made from minced garlic and chili oil mixed with various seasonings is poured over the meat slices on the plate, allowing the meat slices to soak in and absorb the rich sauce.
The second dish is fish-flavored eggplant.
The eggplants in Jinqiu County are oval-shaped green-skinned eggplants. The eggplants have thin skin, thick flesh, and strong aroma. They have a unique flavor when cooked and eaten.
Cut eggplants like this into long strips, deep-fry them in a pan, take them out and pour them into a pan with stir-fried bean paste, onions and garlic, then add vinegar, soy sauce, white sugar, warm water, and corn starch to prepare the mixture. of fish-flavored sauce until the eggplant is tender and the soup thickens, then it is ready to be served.
The remaining two dishes are fried shredded carrots with chili peppers, and one is grilled bean curd sticks with green onions.
All four dishes were served on the table, and the sun had already set. With the afterglow of the setting sun, the five of them sat at the table in the courtyard and began to enjoy the delicious meal.
The pork belly in the white meat with garlic paste is thin and refreshing. It is thin and tender, and the fat meat is slightly chewy. After one bite, it does not feel greasy at all, but it feels extremely fragrant. Paired with the rich garlic chili sauce, it just feels like The flavor is rich and very appetizing.
Fish-flavored eggplant has a sweet and fresh aroma, but has a certain spiciness and moderate saltiness. The eggplant meat is soft and rotten, and the taste is rich and fragrant. When you put it in your mouth, you just feel like you are eating meat. , the taste is extremely mellow.
When frying the shredded carrots, I added more peanut oil than usual and cooked them with small chili peppers. The fried carrots were oily and fragrant, with a spicy taste in the mouth but a unique taste of carrots in the mouth. Some are sweet and have a different taste.
The roasted bean curd is so tender that you can take off the chopsticks when it is slightly blanched. The aroma of green onions and the unique bean aroma of the bean curd are full of flavor in the mouth, and the taste is quite rich.
These four home-cooked and delicious dishes are paired with six fresh dumplings that are fragrant and juicy with one bite, and then served with a bowl of original dumpling soup...
Everyone tonight is particularly full of food.
But no matter how hard I tried, I finally forced myself to open up an empty space in my stomach to accommodate the snowskin bean paste mooncakes I hadn’t eaten in the past two days.
The night is getting darker and the moon is rising.
The night sky was extremely clear, and the bright moonlight spread all over the ground, illuminating the entire earth as if it were daytime.
After clearing away all the empty dishes and bowls on the table, Xia Mingyue called Jiang Zhuguo to bring over the fried melon seeds, fried peanuts, fresh apples and pears prepared in the past two days.
The melon seeds have the original flavor, which is light in the mouth and has a unique sweetness in the aftertaste.
The apples and pears are both bought from farmers. They are not too big, but they are crisp and sweet, with rich juice and no residue.
Xia Mingyue, Jiang Zhuguo and Lu were chatting around the table, while Zhao Dahu and Zhao Erhu were playing hide and seek in the yard.
The sounds of laughter and play mixed together, making it extremely lively.
At this time, the military camp was also bustling with people. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also the first big day after the victory in the battle of Changzhou Fucheng. Commander Xiang gave the order to celebrate well.
So, the Huotou Army got a lot of slaughtered pigs, cooked pots and pots of fragrant meat, and boiled pots and pots of wine. , for the sergeants to eat and drink well.
There is wine and meat, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Everyone gathers together happily, eating large pieces of meat, drinking heavily, and talking and laughing.
The contents of this joke, in addition to the previous events in Changzhou Fucheng, were some interesting anecdotes from their respective families. Sometimes they were made fun of, and sometimes they argued with others.
In short, it was very lively.
Lu Qiyan is now the head of the capital, and he gathers with several fellow heads of the capital and several brigade leaders below, drinking and chatting.
However, Lu Qiyan spent most of his time drinking and didn't talk much. He would occasionally chime in and laugh for a while.
"Lu Dutou is so taciturn, could he be homesick?" Shang Dutou asked with a smile, touching the wine bowl in Lu Qiyan's hand with the wine bowl in his hand.
Lu Qiyan didn't say anything. He just drank the wine in the bowl and then asked, "What about Shang Dutou?" He scratched the back of his head and laughed. Laughing, "But my parents have passed away a long time ago. Now I only have my wife and two boys at home. Rather than missing home, I miss them more."
With the three of them here, The place is home.
"I heard that Lu Dutou has also gotten married. Do you miss your wife now?" Shang Dutou still returned to this topic.
Miss your wife?
Lu Qiyan paused, still speechless.
Want it?
Don’t know.
Don’t want to?
I don’t seem to know either.
The only thing I know is that it is like the bright moon in the sky. Whether you agree with it or not, the moon is shining brightly in the sky at this time.
Lu Qiyan felt that his mood was a little complicated and he didn't know how to answer. He just moved his eyes away and looked at the side.
Not far away, a large number of people were forming a big circle, making a lot of noise and cheering.
"What are you doing there?" Lu Qiyan asked.
"It seems that the young general is competing with others, and many people are watching." Chen Du, who was next to him, poked his head and replied.
Little general?
Lu Qiyan thought for a while, "But An Yunji, Little General Ji?"
"Exactly." Chen Dutou said, "Even though Little General Ji is not old, he is tall. It's not very good, and there are not many martial arts moves, but this When it comes to fighting, his movements are so fast and accurate that he is hard to guard against. Even a big man may not be his opponent."
"I also heard that this time in the attack on Changzhou Fucheng, the enemy general's head was finally damaged. It was cut off by General Ji. Commander Xiang made An Tingyou very happy. He only praised General Ji for his wisdom and bravery. At the celebration banquet, General Ji sat next to him and received toasts from everyone."
" But why did I hear that this is not the case at all? ?" Shang Dutou said, "I heard someone said that the enemy general's head was chopped off by a soldier, but the commander of Xiang put the credit on General Ji's head, just to serve him in the army. "Zhongshuwei?" (End of this chapter)
