Chapter 620 Guidance
It's just that this rabbit meat is mostly lean, has little oil and water, and doesn't taste fragrant enough. The meat is easy to burn, so it's difficult to make delicious braised rabbit. And the cook's skills are limited. Looking at these big whole rabbits, he suddenly Got into trouble.
This would be fine if it were in a military camp. You can fry it or stew it as you like. As long as the meat is meaty, the soldiers who have been training all day and howling with hunger will shout that it is delicious.
But it's different now. This braised rabbit has to be eaten not only by the soldiers, but also by Commander Lu, Commander Xia and Madam Xia. What's more important is that Commander Xia has hunted game today and has to deliver it to Jin Weiguo. Let’s try something new at the neighboring mission.
If the braised rabbit meat is not delicious, it will really bring disgrace to the Zhou Kingdom, and it will appear that the cooks like them are incompetent.
The leader's surname was Wan. He was very anxious at the moment. He was fiddling with the seasonings for the stew. Seeing that the whole rabbit had been cut into pieces by the cook below, he was even more and more pacing back and forth in the kitchen. Wandered around.
After finally gritting his teeth, he left the kitchen and went to see Xia Mingyue.
"Ms. Xia." With a humble look on his face, Chief Wan made his hesitation clear and said, "I shouldn't have troubled Miz. Xia, but now I feel that I have a heavy responsibility, so I have no choice but to ask Xia The lady asked for advice.”
"Of course, we don't dare to ask Madam Xia to cook in person. We just ask Madam Xia for some guidance, and we are satisfied."
Madam Xia's cooking skills are well known to everyone, so there is no need for her to give her guidance. As long as there is a little leakage between her fingers, it will definitely be enough for them.
Xia Mingyue understood Captain Wan's worries and plans, so she didn't refuse. She just followed Captain Wan to the kitchen and instructed them on how to cook.
The cooks usually stew meat in large pots and cook vegetables in large pots, and have basic cooking skills. Braised rabbit meat is difficult to make, but if you want to make it delicious, in the final analysis, there are actually three key things.
Rabbit meat is firm and easy to burn. When stewing, the meat should be chopped into smaller pieces and simmered over low heat for a longer period of time so that it becomes soft and tasty.
Secondly, rabbit meat has its own unique fishy smell. Before making braised rabbit meat, stir-fry various spices. It needs more oil, more spices and enough chili pepper, so that it can be made spicy and delicious.
Thirdly, rabbit meat is mostly lean meat with almost no oil or water. No matter how it is cooked, it tastes less fragrant. When frying the bottom of the pot, add a few slices of pork fat and two spoons of pork. Oil, the braised rabbit meat will be rich and delicious, and the mouthful will be full of flavor...
Xia Mingyue didn't hide anything, she just made it clear about the key points of the braised rabbit meat. The cook did not dare to neglect at all, and personally cooked the food according to Xia Mingyue's words, and followed it step by step.
Until the end of the slow simmering, the faint aroma comes out along with the heat coming out of the pot lid, constantly getting into people's nostrils, tickling people's hearts and stomachs, and the captain feels a stone in his heart. Landed.
He went straight to Xia Mingyue and saluted with excitement on his face, "Thank you, Madam Xia. Madam Xia is really admirable in her cooking skills!"
"You're welcome, Captain Wan." Xia Mingyue said with a smile, "Commander Wan can carefully write down the recipe for making braised rabbit this time, so that he can give it to others to try when he returns to the army. Taste.”
If the peace talks between Jin Weiguo and Da Zhouguo are successful, then the Western Frontier Army will rarely fight in the future and will only play a role in guarding the border. In addition to daily training and acting, it will last about a year. Hunting in all seasons.
This can be used as daily training to relieve the boredom of guarding the frontier. Secondly, the prey hunted can also be used as a tooth sacrifice for the generals and soldiers in the army for a change of taste.
As the team leader, he will have to deal with these ingredients in the future. If he can make these foods, he can learn this braised rabbit meat dish, which will definitely come in handy. He also knows how to cook all kinds of dishes. If you learn how to braise rabbit, you can make braised mutton, braised chicken, and all kinds of braised chicken...
Madam Xia not only gave him some advice and solved his urgent need at this time, she simply gave him a way to settle down and secure his job!
Captain Wan was immediately excited. When he bowed to Xia Mingyue, he bent even deeper and couldn't help but say thank you, "Thank you, Madam Xia, thank you Madam Xia for the prescription."
"You're welcome, Captain Wan. I have to worry about Captain Wan taking care of the food along the way." Xia Mingyue said with a smile.
"These are all our responsibilities. Madam Xia, don't worry. We will take good care of you and make sure nothing goes wrong."
More importantly, it must meet the daily needs of Lady Xia and others.
When you get benefits from others, you must give them a certain amount of preferential treatment. This is common sense!
Xia Mingyue smiled and exchanged greetings with Team Leader Wan for a few more words before returning to the house she was assigned.
Lu Qiyan came over on both sides. In the deep-mouthed porcelain plate he held in his hand, there were several large pomegranates with a very beautiful red skin, grinning happily, and two yellow pears.
Using the knife in his hand, he quickly made a few cuts on the pomegranate skin, and then completely opened its "Tianling Cover". Lu Qiyan very skillfully removed the pomegranate shell and the thin membrane inside, and put the pomegranate seeds into the milky white bag next to it. In small porcelain bowl.
The pomegranate is completely ripe, and the pomegranate seeds are large and red, each one is like a crystal clear ruby, and it looks like rubies in the milky white porcelain bowl, which is very beautiful.
Xia Mingyue took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of pomegranate seeds into her mouth. There was no need to chew it, she just pressed it gently with her tongue, and the sweet juice of the pomegranate seeds overflowed in her mouth. It was sweet and delicious, filling her mouth with fragrance.

"It's delicious." Xia Mingyue sighed, and frowned slightly when she spat out the pomegranate seeds that had been drained of juice. "It's just that these pomegranate seeds are a little troublesome."
Then he sighed, "It would be great if this pomegranate was as big as a pear."
It tastes much more refreshing this way, I don’t know how wonderful it would be.
"If it's as raw as a pear, there may be other troubles. You want to have both the fish and the bear's paw. Could the lady be too greedy?"
Lu Qiyan reached out and tapped Xia Mingyue's forehead and said with a smile, "But if I want to eat pomegranates happily, there is a way."
"What can I do?" Xia Mingyue was a little strange.
"It depends on the husband." Lu Qiyan smiled mysteriously, stood up and walked out for a while, and soon came back with a piece of very clean gauze and a pair of bamboo chopsticks in his hands.
Put all the pomegranate seeds that you just peeled into the gauze, then pick up the four corners of the gauze and wrap the pomegranate seeds completely.
