Chapter 1934 Porridge base with barbecue
“How to eat it?” Mai Xiaomiao squatted next to Zhou Zhi and asked.
“Go and change your clothes first.” Zhou Zhi smiled and said, “Wipe your hair too. I don’t feel cold now, but if I’m not careful, my body will get cold without realizing it, and I’ll catch a cold. "
"Azi and Sister Shama both have good figures." Mai Xiaomiao looked at the two girls walking on the grass with envy in her eyes.
"You are also very beautiful," Zhou Zhi teased the little girl: "Big eyes, small mouth, tip of nose, you are just a little shorter than them, but your proportions are good, you look beautiful in my lens I’ll check it out on my notebook later.”
"You know how to lie." Mai Xiaomiao was so happy that she couldn't hold back her lips, and she was still modest.
“They are from the Yi ethnic group. Their waists are slender and well-proportioned, and their noses are high and straight, which are their national characteristics. Moreover, they are all from Meigu. The name of the county Meigu means beautiful girls, which means that this place is beautiful. "You can walk sideways in Meigu County, so don't be too proud." "
"I don't want to care about you." Mai Xiaomiao put down the basket and turned around happily: "I'm going to change clothes!"
Wait until Mai Xiaomiao changed clothes from the tent. When we came out, the camp entered dusk, and the sunlight turned into a golden color and swept over the pond from the side, casting golden waves.
The aroma of food was already wafting over the camp. Since the bacon could hold up a bit longer, Zhou Zhi left it for tomorrow and left the fresh meat for today.
Zhou Zhi brought pork, mutton, and beef. The pork and mutton were used for barbecue, and the beef was used to make "congee-based hot pot."
Porridge-based hot pot is actually a Cantonese dish, and it is a type of Cantonese hot pot with a side stove. Su Shi also recorded an interesting story in his notes, saying that Luo Fuying liked to put various dishes in one The "miscellaneous cooking" in the pot was named "Gu Dong Geng", and all the guests praised it. The poet Lu Taoist, who was also attending the banquet, then made a couplet: "Throw the glutinous rice into the soup pot, dig the cellar and wander around in the rice bowl." Su Dongpo was so happy that he thought it was absolutely true and recorded it in his notes.
As for the so-called "Panyou rice", Su Dongpo's record is: "People in the south of the Yangtze River are good at making Panyou rice. They have all kinds of bream, preserved meat, squid, and broiled rice, and they are buried in the rice. The proverb goes, 'You can dig a cellar' Zi'."
In Zhou Zhi's opinion, this is the "Kong rice" that Jiachuan people often make.
Because "throwing mash" is an allusion to the Yue King Gou Jian sharing the joys and sorrows with the people after the humiliation of Kuaiji, and determined to take revenge, which coincides with the practice of Gu Donggen in a literal sense; and "digging a cellar" is an allusion to Su Wu's determination not to surrender to the Huns, and shepherding sheep and digging in the far north. The allusion of sheltering from the wind and snow also coincides with the allusion of Panyou rice in literal meaning, so it was regarded as absolute by Su Dongpo and recorded.
As a result, the preparation methods of two ancient delicacies were inadvertently recorded, making everyone realize that porridge-based hot pot and kong rice existed as far back as the Song Dynasty.
The soup of porridge hot pot is actually very particular. It uses special fragrant rice. It is lightly beaten and broken into two or three pieces. Then it is rinsed and mixed with oil and salt. Marinate for a while and then put it in a large clay pot to cook. Wait for the porridge to cook until the water and rice blend together, and the porridge boils into a chrysanthemum shape, with layers turned from the inside out. At this time, the porridge water scooped up from the center of the flower is called "porridge clear", which is the porridge in the porridge. Essence.
Take a bite and it is sweet and soft, as smooth as soup. Use this soup, which is just pulp but not rice, to scald meat and vegetables, and make the porridge-based hot pot in a side oven to be authentic.
However, for a picnic, it is impossible for Zhou Zhi to be so precise. However, he fried the rice in a dry hot pot before departure. When he arrived at the camp, he boiled the fried rice in boiling water and added ginger. Shredded and fried mushrooms, the effect of the porridge base is actually quite different from that of the porridge clear. The reason why the meat is blanched with porridge is because it is difficult to thicken the meat when blanched in the wild. Put the tender meat slices directly into the porridge pot, which has the effect of sealing the meat, and the blanched meat can easily stay fresh and tender.
After preparing the porridge base, Zhou Zhi placed the porridge pot on the iron mesh of the fire pit, and placed fried buckwheat cakes, fried potatoes, raw sweet potatoes around it, and the rest were various meat skewers. .
Because he picked up a lot of mushrooms, Zhou Zhi simply dug a new fire pond and covered it with fire ash and sand to directly make a drying tank to dry the mushrooms.
This is actually a way to increase the aroma of mushrooms. Drying the mushrooms and then rehydrating them is actually similar to a "wall-breaking" effect, which allows more aromatic substances in the mushroom cells to penetrate Come out and bring a better flavor to the dishes.
So sometimes the fresher the ingredients are not necessarily the better, it mainly depends on the category.
Mai Xiaomiao had been crowding around Zhou Zhi early. She had to do the barbecue by herself. She had no confidence in herself at all.
There are no more bugs in late autumn. By the time they start eating, the sky has turned dark purple, and the valley is getting darker quickly.
Fortunately, there is battery power supply. Hang up the lamp. As soon as the orange light is turned on, the atmosphere immediately rises.
“The grilled small intestines brought to Shudu this time are also very popular.” Zhou Zhi said: “It’s just that it’s a bit old after being reheated for the second time, and it feels different from the current one, which is crispy on the outside and oily on the inside.”< br>
In addition to wheat seedlings, other The rest of them are masters of barbecue. Although Shama Ricong and Jike Azi are not the kind of girls who often do housework on weekdays, they are very skilled in barbecue. Zhou Zhi probably went to the brazier barbecue stall on the street with his classmates on weekends. Learned.
"The seasoning made by Brother Elbow is good, it tastes better than the one made by the owner of the barbecue restaurant!" Azi held a large skewer of mutton in his hand and gave Zhou Zhi a thumbs up.
“I’m kidding, barbecue ingredients also cost money. Not many bosses are willing to spend as much as I do.” Zhou Zhi smiled and said: “This is the taste of the dry ingredients dipped in the porridge base to scald the beef, which is beyond my expectations. , it’s a little surprise.”
Everyone is more curious about the porridge-based hot pot. No one has ever eaten it except Zhou Zhi. The beef part is gently rolled in the porridge and dipped in Zhou Zhi’s own secret dry ingredients. , it is indeed very fragrant and well received.
“Cantonese people don’t eat spicy food. They definitely don’t like dry dipping dishes like this. So what seasonings do they use for the side stove?” Wu Renzhong’s mouth was full of oil and he didn’t forget to ask questions.
“The taste there is light, and there are more blanched seafood. The main focus is on the original flavor.” Zhou Zhi said: “Generally speaking, just use fermented bean curd juice and light soy sauce.”
"Chaoshan people also like beef hotpot, but they are also paranoid. Beef broth must be used to scald beef hotpot. The seasoning is made with hoisin sauce and shacha sauce plus the original soup."
"You are a real foodie." Mai Xiaomiao When I was licking the grilled small intestines, there were grease stains from the skewers on both sides of my mouth, and some were also stuck on the tip of my nose. Now she looks a bit like a cute kitten. The happiness brought to her by the food makes her forget her sense of boundaries and she has leaned on Zhou Zhi comfortably: "This kind of activity is so fun. We will be fine in the future." Let’s just do Barbie Q?”
