But the problem is that Brother Dayong knows Zhou Zhi's drinking capacity. He believes that it is only natural to fight side by side with Zhou Zhi to meet the challenges of the Yi uncles. Moreover, he knows Zhou Zhi's drinking capacity, which makes Zhou Zhi, who has been pretending to be drunk, unable to pretend anymore.
Fortunately, there is an old saying that goes “a thousand glasses of wine is too little to meet a close friend”, which can explain his sudden increase in drinking capacity. However, it was difficult for him to defeat many opponents with four punches, and the brothers could not survive half the game. Completely drunk.
Zhou Zhi has no memory of how he got back to bed that night. Anyway, it was already past ten in the morning when he woke up.
Brother Dayong was still snoring loudly, Zhou Zhi ignored him, rubbed his eyes, went out and walked around the rooms, then walked to the kitchen and asked Gilliam Abi: "Where are they?"
"Liangzhi and Renzhong went to the county to collect goods. Today, another batch of teaching materials and books will be delivered." Gillette Abi said: "Dad and the children took the guests up the mountain to pick mushrooms. .”
"Seeing that the black dragon is not here, I guess they have gone up the mountain." Zhou Zhi said: "How about I boil the lard in the freezer? Anyway, you need to use a pot to fry mushrooms."
Gilead Abi He smiled and said: "It's great to have a big freezer. How about we take the lead and raise pigs this year?"
"Come from Niba Mountain I seem to have seen pigs running in the mountains." Zhou Zhi asked: "It seems to be raised like a sheep. Auntie, do you know what kind of pig it is?"
"It must be pure black, big. There are wrinkles all over the pig’s face, right?”
“Yes, yes, that kind of pig looks better with thicker skin.”
"Then it must be a Yanan pig." Gilliam Abi said: "That pig is a pure black pig. It can be raised in the mountains. If you feed it enough, it will be big and have a lot of meat."
"Yanan Black Pig..." Zhou Zhi remembered the name: "But now there are precious fruit seedlings everywhere in our village. It is impossible to raise them again, right?"
Gilea Bi smiled and said: "They can be free-range or kept in captivity. Even in the past, they had to be locked up when fattening to prevent them from running away all over the mountain."
"Actually, it's not bad to lose some fat. , It’s too fat and boring to eat.”
Jili Abi shook his head: “That’s you Han people, right? We Yi people don’t think pigs are fat.”
This may be true, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help but feel happy: "The Han people's distaste for pigs being too fat only started in the past few years. I guess you will also be dissatisfied with it in a few years."
"Really? Then I'll just wait." Gillette. Abi thought Zhou Zhi was talking in his sleep, and joked with a smile: "Don't dream about eating fried cabbage with oil residue then."
"That's Renzhong's joke, it has nothing to do with me." Zhou Zhi Saying that, he put it in the freezer He dug out the pork suet from the two fans and began to clean and chop it into pieces to prepare the oil: "Ren Zhong is really good. He only talks about it in his dreams when he wants to eat meat. I still admire him for this."
" You are all good boys. "Ji. Lie Abi nodded seriously and said: "It is much better than those cadres who came before with their nostrils turned upward."
"Is this pig a Yanan pig?" Zhou Zhi asked: "This is the one in the freezer. ”
"Hybrid." Gillette Abi said: "You can tell by looking at the amount of oil that this is a cross bred in captivity. It's only four hundred pounds smaller!"
"I asked Renzhong to kill the pig and freeze it. "He really doesn't save anything for me." Zhou Zhi joked, "Come to think of it, mushrooms are lean vegetables, so this pig needs to be fattened up." Gillette Abby heard what he said. It was like a joke, and he laughed so hard: "Elbow, you are so funny. Do you mean you bought a bite of pig just to eat mushrooms? Hahahaha..."
The two of them talked. While talking, the work at hand did not stop at all, and soon a pot full of suet was added to the big pot and started to cook.
Boiling lard is easy, but there are a few tips. First, the size of the oil block should be appropriate. Two or three centimeters square is the best. Make sure that when the added water dries out and the oil begins to come out, the oil block should be The moisture in it is retained just right, so it's less likely to explode.
The second step is to use low heat throughout the process and stir gently so that the water vapor can be discharged in time, which can also avoid frying the pot.
Finally, don’t over-fry. Add peppercorns, soybeans and salt before the end of frying to keep the oil longer and less likely to go bad.
Even Gillette Abby admires Zhou Zhi's method of frying lard, and even more admires his handling of the oil residue.
Chop the oil residue into pieces and stir-fry together with bean paste and wheat paste. Add water after stir-frying until fragrant, add shredded dried vegetables from the Yi ethnic group, stir-fry again, and cook until the sauce is rich and the sauce is reduced. After it is thick enough to have a thick layer of oil on the surface, it can be poured into a large basin and consumed slowly as a "sauce" for daily stir-fries, bibimbap, and pancakes.
This kind of glutinous rice is particularly popular with the children. During the days when the mountain dragons were busy repairing the mountain, Wu Renzhong was lazy when he was responsible for cooking. He steamed a large pot of steamed rice and let the children mix the rice with the glutinous rice. The rest is boiled vegetables in plain water, dipped in leibao chili sauce, and served with cold rice soup, so it's a complete meal.
It was unexpectedly well-received and Zhou Zhi was not even mad to death.
As revenge, Zhou Zhi left some oil residue to prepare for frying cabbage. Everyone will definitely make fun of him when they see this dish. He deserves it!
When Brother Dayong got up, everyone also came down from the mountain. Now is the peak season for mushrooms. The pine forest in the back mountain of Lianhe Township is very vast. There is also a large stretch of virgin forest on the slopes. The mushrooms there There are so many that they can only be described as mountains and plains.
In addition, it is too far away from the county seat and the autonomous prefecture and has limited spending power. As a result, people here are basically interested in matsutake mushrooms and do not like other types.
Zhou Zhi actually secretly complained in his heart that the reason why the Yi people in Lianhe Township prefer matsutake is just like the people in Jiachuan only liked Jiangtuan and catfish in the past. These things do not consume much fuel and steam. Pour it with soy sauce and drizzle a small spoonful of cooked oil to moisten it, and it will be very delicious.
The rest of the mushrooms are just like other fish, or eels and loaches. It’s not that they are not delicious, but they require too much cooking oil and are simply unaffordable.
However, Zhou Zhi's arrival changed this situation. He had already started the mushroom deep processing industry before Brother Dayong arrived with Saturday's Food Group.
But it’s not even a workshop. He and Gillette Abi cooked the vegetable oil, removed the heat and cooled down, then kept the fire low, cut a large number of mushrooms into shreds and threw them into the oil pan slowly. Fry the mushrooms into dried mushrooms that are as soft and hard as Zhang Fei beef.
Then the dried mushrooms and the boiled mushroom oil are put into large transfer barrels, and every once in a while they are dragged to the state and distributed to Feng Xueshan.
In half a year, the aromatic substances in the dried mushrooms will continue to seep into the oil. This oil is very fragrant, and the dried mushrooms are also very fragrant. Add some to noodles or cooking, and it can be used directly. The food is taken up a notch.
There are too many mushrooms in the mountains, but the children usually pick them more restrainedly. This time there were two more foreigners, and it was no surprise that the harvest was great.
This is the result of the children completely abandoning the "miscellaneous bacteria" in Shanwaizhou Binhe Market. (End of this chapter)
