Chapter 348: Making a wooden steamer
“Hey, why did you suddenly kill so many rabbits?”
Su Ying has also eaten a lot of rabbits in the past six months, so naturally she won’t say anything. Why do you want to eat rabbits?
It’s just that the rabbits raised at home are relatively fat. If you kill one on weekdays, a family of four would have to eat twice to finish it.
Now that Zhang An had killed three of them at once, Su Ying felt that she would have to eat them for a week no matter what.
"It's okay. I'll change the recipe this time. I can eat it as a snack."
Three freshly baked skinned rabbits, after a close contact with the cold kitchen knife, still He failed to warm up the cold blade.
Three whole rabbits that were originally white and tender have now turned into lumps of meat.
The three rabbits add up to more than ten kilograms, and when they are chopped into pieces, they fill a pot full of them.
The old rule is to wash and marinate to remove the fishy and odor. There is only more than ten kilograms of rabbit meat, so you don’t need to marinate it for too long, half an hour is enough.
After marinating, heat the pan and heat the oil. Once the oil is warm, start frying the rabbit meat. Then sprinkle some spices prepared by my mother at home in a timely manner.
After stir-frying at high temperature, the moisture in the rabbit meat can be locked in and it will taste delicious.
What Zhang An is frying today is cold rabbit, and the spicy tubes and Sichuan peppercorns are definitely indispensable.
The tubes were spicy, and Zhang An sifted the chili rice inside.
In later generations, when he went to buy cold rabbit, it cost dozens of yuan per catty, but it turned out that most of it was tube spicy and chili rice.
There is rabbit meat, but it is all very small diced rabbit meat. After peeling off the pepper, the rabbit meat is just missing.
Today Zhang An fried it himself and cut the rabbit meat into larger pieces.
Although it takes a while to fry in the pot, it is still enjoyable to eat.
Otherwise, you spend a long time picking and choosing, and in the end, apart from the peppers, you only pick out diced meat the size of the head of a chopstick, which is a waste of time.
Stir-fry over high heat until there is no moisture left in the pot.
The reason why cold rabbit can be stored for a long time is because when stir-frying, the water in the pot is eliminated.
As long as there is no water in it, it will not go rancid in a short period of time, and it will be fine if you leave it for two or three days.
"Okay, we're ready to eat. There's no need to cook any other dishes."
Three rabbits were fried in a bowl full of spicy food.
The rabbit meat inside is fried bright red and shiny. You can tell that the spicy taste of the tube has been fried into the meat. The smell of this smell makes people very appetizing.
A family of three gathered around the small dining table with a bowl full of spicy cold rabbit. Su Ying also cooked a vegetable cabbage.
While eating, Zhang An took a ladleful of rabbit meat and chili and put it into the bowl.
It is originally blood-red rice with a spicy and spicy taste that is very appetizing.
The spicy tube used to fry the rabbit, although it has been soaked in water, was finally fried by Zhang An until it was very crispy.
When you eat it, it is crunchy and crispy in your mouth. It's not like those sold outside, where the pepper skin will stick to your teeth when you eat it.
"Hiss~ So numb, so spicy, but so enjoyable."
Su Ying originally couldn't eat spicy food, but she couldn't stop eating this pot of rabbit.
Because of the spicy and fragrant taste, coupled with the refreshing, firm and chewy rabbit meat, it is really appetizing.
Although she was sweating profusely from the heat, the hand holding the chopsticks still subconsciously put it into the pot.
"Eat slowly and don't be in a hurry. Don't choke."
Zhang Jianguo saw his daughter-in-law eating in a hurry and quickly asked her to eat more slowly.
It’s not that she ate too much, it’s just that the dish was full of chili peppers, and she was worried that she might choke if she ate too quickly.
In the eyes of Zhang Jianguo's generation, there is no thought of controlling their diet. They only know that being able to eat is a blessing.
Although there are a lot of peppers in the pot, it’s okay to eat more.
Considering that Su Ying couldn’t eat spicy chili peppers, Zhang An only used the crunchy spicy ones at home.
It’s the kind of not-very-spicy chili that Wang Fang often deep-fries until crispy and serves to everyone with drinks or as snacks.
Although this kind of pepper is a bit spicy, it does not harm your health.
Many people who don’t eat chili peppers can eat it without worrying about having their butts on fire when going to the toilet.
"Okay, you can't eat any more. If you eat any more, you'll have trouble digesting it."
The numb and spicy cold rabbit mixed with rice is simply too good for rice. Su Ying didn't know it. I had already eaten four bowls of rice while sleeping.
She usually eats up to two bowls of rice per meal. If she continues to eat, she will definitely be stretched out later.
"I'm so annoyed. My stomach is a little full, but I feel like I'm still hungry."
Su Ying looked like she was having a good time. Although her stomach felt bloated, she still felt hungry. I still want to eat more.
This is a typical example of the mouth controlling the brain, and then the stomach can only suffer.
“Let’s digest it for a while, then eat it when you can’t hold it any longer. This rabbit meat is still quite delicious after it’s cold.”
It is meant to be eaten cold. Although it can be eaten hot, it tastes more delicious when eaten cold.
When it is completely cool, it can be used as a snack like spicy strips.
After much persuasion, Su Ying reluctantly put down her chopsticks.
But it was too late. When I just kept putting it in my mouth, there was no adverse reaction.
When I stopped eating with my chopsticks, I found that my stomach had begun to feel uncomfortable.
It feels good to eat spicy food and drink spicy food, but I regret it after eating.
All in all, it’s just Zhang An’s fault that the pot of rabbit he stir-fried was too much.
Su Ying, who couldn't stand spicy food, had to eat several mouthfuls of rice after one bite of spicy rabbit meat.
"Okay, okay, just hold on for a while and I'll find you something to help with digestion."
Zhang An planted several hawthorn trees in the space, and now there are many hawthorn trees hanging on them. Less hawthorn fruit.
Zhang An has tried this thing, and the effect of squeezing it into juice is better than that of stomach-building and digestion tablets. It takes five minutes to take effect.
"No, why should I use other things to digest what I eat on my own? It's all your fault. Who told you to cook so well?"
Oh, haha, It's a good saying to eat something based on your ability.
"Then why are you just standing like this? Mom will be happy when she comes back. Your belly looks like you are pregnant."
When Su Ying heard this, she lowered her head and looked at herself. My belly was slightly bulging as Zhang An said.
"Then why don't you go quickly?"
As soon as Su Ying thought about her mother-in-law's shining eyes, she suddenly shuddered all over.
“But you ate it based on your ability. Don’t you feel it’s a pity after digesting it.”
“One”
Seeing Zhang An’s playful smile Su Ying's expression turned louder.
It is not the legendary saying "Labour and Capital Shu Dao Mountain". This move is actually not powerful enough because the chanting time is too long.
People in the village are all direct, so they won’t give you enough time to react. It doesn’t exist.
Su Ying had only been here for a few months, and she had already learned the tricks of the maids in the village.
Sure enough, it has nothing to do with people, but is an innate talent of the region. "Yes, yes, you wait first."
Zhang An, who couldn't afford to offend a woman, sneaked into the kitchen to work.
I picked some fresh hawthorn from the space, washed it, squeezed it into juice directly in the space, and mixed it with some space spring water before bringing it out.
You can also take it out and pound it, but it is too troublesome to clean up the mess. It is not as easy as squeezing the juice directly in the space.
It is best not to drink the juice of those hawthorn fruits in the space directly, because Zhang An made up for it and lost all his teeth, and it took him three days to recover.
Not only adding space spring water, Zhang An also had to add some sugar and honey to combine the sour taste.
"Okay, drink this and you won't be able to hold on for a few minutes."
Because of the dilution of honey, sugar and space spring water at home, Su Ying wanted to drink more after drinking a glass.
Although Zhang An drank a pot, he couldn't let her drink the rest.
Otherwise, it won’t work if you overdigest it later. It’s a rare occasion, so Zhang An put the rest in the refrigerator and expected to use it at night.
After serving his wife, Zhang An went to the old house to find the red chun wood recipe he wanted.
I originally thought that there was still a lot of wood, so Zhang An planned to learn how to make a steamer by himself, just to practice his skills.
It can be found that there is not much red toon wood left at home, and there is no room for waste.
So Zhang An gave up the idea of doing it himself and went to Lin Carpenter's house to ask him for help.
"Uncle Carpenter, I haven't had time these past two days, please help me make two steamers."
When Zhang An ran to Carpenter Lin's house, Carpenter Lin rarely did any carpentry work. , but resting.
"Okay, go get the materials."
Zhang An came over, and Carpenter Lin agreed smoothly.
Originally Carpenter Lin thought that what Zhang An was going to do was just two wooden steamers for normal rice steaming.
I didn’t ask Zhang An why he didn’t do it himself, because he knew Zhang An was lazy sometimes.
But when Zhang An moved all the wood, Carpenter Lin was dumbfounded.
“No, when you bring so many materials, do you want to make a steamer for steaming cattle or steaming horses?”
There are about eight or nine recipes for this pile of red chrysanthemum wood. They look like pieces and are in good quality.
As a carpenter, Carpenter Lin was very fond of materials like this.
But Zhang An brought so much wood to make a big steamer.
At this time, he understood why Zhang An came to him. Because Zhang An couldn't handle this big guy, he asked him to take action.
"I plan to make these two steamers for steaming wine, so I can make them as big as I can. If they are small, they won't be able to steam much grain."
Anyway, Zhang An has already planned, one wooden steamer and one wine steamer. It should be at least one meter high.
“Why do you still want to make wine by yourself? Wang Xinhua’s making wine every day is not enough for you to drink. He is so idle every day that he has nothing to do.”
He is not a person who specializes in making wine. It's very troublesome to clean up after brewing once. In Lin Carpenter's eyes, Zhang An was in a hurry.
“I heard from Mr. Huang that the liquor brewed from blood rice is good. It happened that my family’s blood rice harvest was pretty good last year, so I planned to brew a batch to see.”
Originally, it was He thought Zhang An had nothing to do, but when he heard Zhang An talk about using blood rice to make wine, Lin Carpenter immediately changed his attitude.
"Zhang An, tell me the truth, did Huang Er give you his brewing method?"
Zhang An's mouth was filled with blood rice and Huang Er again. Yes, Carpenter Lin still doesn’t understand the meaning behind this.
Back in the village, he, Old Huang, used so much grain and could only produce so much wine, but he was laughed at by many people in the village.
But later, Huang Er drank that wine to cure his poor health, and one bottle was sold for more than a hundred yuan. Suddenly those guys who made fun of others stopped laughing.
At that time, there were not many people who had tasted Laohuang's wine, and Carpenter Lin was one of them.
Zhang An just smiled and did not answer. Lin Carpenter suddenly felt the bottom of his heart.
“We’ll make this steamer right away. I promise it’ll be ready for you in two days. But when the wine comes out, I’ll have to divide it evenly and taste it.”
Although Lao Huang’s wine is so bloody Rice wine is widely spread in the village, but many people are skeptical because they have never tasted it.
Carpenter Lin is different, he is one of the few who has tasted it himself.
To this day, he can't forget this incident, because at that time, he only had a few drinks and it knocked him out. It was not a deep impression.
“You’ll be satisfied with just a pound of wine. Don’t worry, I’ll drink as much as you want when the time comes. If you can’t finish it, I’ll let you carry it back.”
After saying this, Carpenter Lin said I was so happy that I immediately started moving the materials back to the main room to start work.
After measuring the size of the wood, the carpenter Lin took out his tools and was ready to start.
“Breaking materials is a personal skill. If you can’t break them well, you need to practice more.”
The first step in making a steamer is to break the materials. Carpenter Lin knew that Zhang An was not skilled at it, so he taught him while doing it.
To make a big steamer, the steamer board will naturally need to be broken larger, which will naturally take a lot of time.
Zhang An watched Carpenter Lin doing his work and also picked up an ax to break materials together.
"Come on, come on, don't do anything, just do what you have to do."
But before two pieces were split, Carpenter Lin started to attack people.
Without him, because Zhang An was not good at it, he broke the fine red lip wood every time.
These materials are all treasures in Lin Carpenter's eyes. How could he tolerate Zhang An's wasteful behavior?
Zhang An, who was kicked out, felt helpless.
When I got home, I only saw Su Ying lying on the deck chair in the courtyard.
Zhang An walked over and took a look and found that the silly wife had fallen asleep leaning on the recliner.
It seemed that he was indeed too full at noon. He had only been out for a while, but Su Ying slept so soundly.
The current temperature has not yet reached 20 degrees. Zhang An was worried that she would catch a cold while sleeping in the yard, so he gently picked her up and brought her back to the room.
But no matter how careful she was, no matter how light her movements were, Su Ying still woke up when she went upstairs.
"Hey, you're back, ha~~~, Uncle Zhu just called and told us that they will come to our house tomorrow."
Su Ying rubbed her eyes and nodded. Said with a yawn.
Both hands naturally hugged her man's neck. Although she woke up, she still wanted to continue sleeping.
"Okay, I understand. If you are sleepy, just keep sleeping."
Back in the bedroom, Zhang An put his wife on the bed. Su Ying didn't say anything. He pursed his lips and slowly fell asleep again.
Zhu Yuliang will go to the countryside tomorrow, and there is a high probability that he will come here to list his place.
Originally Zhang An thought it would be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but he didn’t expect them to come so soon.
But it would be better if he came here and hung up the sign earlier so that he could release the two black-necked cranes.
Some time ago, Zhang An underestimated the popularity of the two black-necked cranes because there were so many people watching the black-necked cranes.
Every day there are people outside the fence in their backyard. Even the rapeseed that is about to bloom in the field outside the fence has been trampled a lot.
In order to reduce the heat and restore tranquility to the backyard, Zhang An could only shut the two black-necked cranes into the space.
