Fenggui will go on a long journey tomorrow, and in the past he would leave the village after the rain. This year, because of Du Heng, he stayed at home until Qingming.
Du Heng is preparing food for Fenggui to travel. Fenggui is a curmudgeonly and irritable person. He must put his food on a nice plate, and he can take it out whenever he wants to eat.He proudly threw many sets of bone china bowls to Du Heng, each of which was exquisitely shaped, and Du Heng used these plates to serve him food.
His favorite sausage and spicy meat must be indispensable. Du Heng steamed, cut and packed more than 30 plates for him.The remaining five black beasts were also made into cold-eat rabbits and roasted rabbits. Fenggui could take at least three away.For non-spicy roast duck and roast chicken, Du Heng packed a dozen of them for him.There are more scraps scattered around for him to fill a large basin.
In addition, Du Heng also asked him to bring a lot of marinated Kui beef tendon meat, which is not too spicy.If Fenggui just eats alone, he can eat what Du Heng asked him to take away until this winter.At that time, Fenggui will be able to come back, and then there will be new things to take away!
One-third of the meat in the house was taken away by Feng Gui, which made Jing Nan extremely jealous: "I should also go out and ask Du Heng to make me a bunch of delicious food."
Feng Gui put his hands in his hands and said leisurely: "It's not a matter of saying that you want to go out? It's not because you are lazy and don't like going anywhere."
Jing Nan ate a marinated egg and said leisurely: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest. No matter how good it is outside, it is better to have a home. Besides, there is Du Heng at home. I can eat hot and good food at any time. You can only Living on the contents of the storage bag, hehe~”
Feng Gui rolled his eyes: "Old Nan, you really feel bad for doing this."
Jing Nan snorted: "How many times have I told you, don't call me this nickname. Don't forget, you have one too, do you need me to tell Du Heng?"
Du Heng, who was busy on the stove, cut two pieces of braised pork and fed them to Xiaoxiao and Wen Qiong. He turned his head and asked, "Huh? Fenggui has a nickname? What's it called? Tell me about it?"
Fenggui bared her teeth and threatened Jingnan: "If you dare to tell Du Heng, I will tell Xiaoyu all the things you did before."
Xuanyu, who was brushing the secret sauce prepared by Du Heng on the grilled fish, turned his head in surprise: "What matters?"
Seeing that the three of them were about to pinch each other, Wen Qiong said with a smile: "It's so lively, I can't bear to leave."
Du Heng was stunned: "Master? What are you talking about? Where are you going?" Wen Qiong is leaving?Why hasn't he heard of it before?Wen Qiong gnawed on the braised pork and said casually, "I'm going to leave on the day of Lixia."
Du Heng almost cut it to his hand: "Hey? Lixia...isn't it just next month? Master, are you leaving now? When will you come back after leaving? What about my practice?"
Wen Qiong picked up another piece of braised pork from the chopping board, and she said calmly: "Before I leave, I will teach you everything I can teach you before you form an alchemy. As long as you practice hard after I leave, it won't take long Jie Dan. I have something to do at home, so I can't always stay in the village."
Du Heng understood and sighed a little: "Is our master-student relationship only a short period of three months?"
Wen Qiong said calmly: "Even if I only teach you for one day, I am still your master. There is a saying in the cultivation world? You will be a teacher for one day and a father for life. If you enter my door, don't even think about begging others I have become a teacher. I know that you look good."
Du Heng hurriedly cut a thick piece of stewed meat to honor Wen Qiong: "Don't dare, the master taught the disciple not to forget. I'm not used to thinking of you leaving? If you leave, who will supervise the disciple? "
Wen Qiong squeezed the stewed meat and ate it with oily mouth: "Cultivation is one's own business. If you rely on others to supervise everything, it's better to live a lazy life without practicing."
Wen Qiong smiled at Du Heng: "Besides, after I left, your practice officially started. Do you think it's easy for you? I'm afraid you won't even be able to leave the village if you haven't formed the alchemy."
What Du Heng could say, he could only smile embarrassingly: "Master is right."
Jing Nan said with a smile: "Xiao Qiong is right, don't think you can be lazy if she leaves. There is never a shortcut to practice, don't worry, we will look after you instead of Xiao Qiong."
Du Heng said with a bitter face: "Okay, okay, I understand."
Feng Gui pointed to the big wooden basin beside him: "I've been wanting to ask since just now, is the thing soaked in there... a mountain balm head?"
There is a large wooden barrel next to the stove, and a huge pig's head is soaked in the wooden barrel.The pig's head has been split in half, and the pig's ears and tongue have been cut off and cleaned carefully.The water in the bucket has become clear, and the pig's head can be seen clearly even if it is immersed in the water.
Du Heng smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to braise a pig's head to eat."
Feng Gui frowned: "Why are you eating this kind of leftovers again? Is there no meat at home? Let Lao Dao deliver the meat, why bother?"
Du Heng smiled while feeding and said: "Spring is the season for all things to rest and live. No matter how many animals there are in the mountains, we must give them time to reproduce. There is still meat at home, at least until autumn. The meat will not be broken. I It’s just that I have to take enough to be inexhaustible, and the leftovers are delicious when they’re done.”
What Du Heng said was true. Since he came to the village, Jing Nan and the others ate a lot of discarded leftovers.Not many people were willing to eat the feet of mountain ointment mole, but in Du Heng's hands, his stewed hooves were soft and glutinous, no worse than the meat on his body.
There are also chicken heads, duck feet, goose necks, etc., marinated for a while, and those who like spicy food can't stop eating.It is made into white-cut five-spice ones, and Jing Nan has to touch two of them to gnaw if he has nothing to do.
At first they all refused when they saw Du Heng cooking leftovers, but now they say no, their bodies are more honest than anyone else.
Du Heng said with a smile: "Don't look down on Shan Gao's head, there is a lot of meat on a pig's head. The pork head meat is well marinated, and it tastes crunchy. It's great to drink with!"
Hearing that he could serve wine, Feng Gui suddenly became excited: "Then you can marinate a little more, I can take it away!"
Du Heng said with a smile: "It's more troublesome to clean up this. We can eat half of it, and you can take the other half."
In order to tidy up a mountain paste head, he and Xuan Yu spent half an hour scrubbing and brushing, even the mountain paste's teeth were whitened.The mountain paste is more than twice as big as the pig in my hometown, and a pig's head is comparable to a cow's head.
While talking, Du Heng cut up the marinated meat and put it on a plate: "At noon, we will simply deal with it. In the evening, we will eat pork head meat."
It is said to be easy to deal with, but the dishes are not simple at all.I saw a plate of white-cut stewed pork on the dining table, and there were two kinds of dipping sauces beside it.After a while, Xuanyu's grilled fish came up, and it was another meat dish.
Since Du Heng started practicing, the changes on the dining table are obvious.When he first arrived in the village, there were big fish and meat on the table.Meat and vegetarian dishes are now on the table equally, Jing Nan thinks that after a while, only vegetarian dishes will be left on the table for meetings.
Jing Nan sighed: "Xiaoyu, Du Heng's cooking is getting simpler and simpler, you see, he is getting more and more perfunctory."
Today's lunch has three dishes and one soup, which are white-cut braised pork, five-spice grilled fish, pickled Du Xian and wine and herb head.Although there are only four dishes, each dish has a sufficient portion, and everyone will not waste it after a meal.Back in the Chinese New Year, there were turntables on the dining table. Compared with that time, the food now is shabby.
Du Heng turned his head with a smile: "That's not the case. In autumn and winter, people need to nourish themselves, so it's okay to eat more fatty food. In spring, they should eat a little lighter, so that people can be active. In summer, people will be more light. I don’t have much appetite, I’m too tired to eat big fish and meat.”
Seeing Jingnan's suspicious expression, Du Heng said: "Don't underestimate the vegetarian dishes. Vegetarian dishes are delicious and easy to make than meat dishes. Look at the pickled fresh stewed outside. In fact, it is very troublesome to make. But it tastes better than meat dishes. Chicken soup and the like are refreshing, and the taste is not bad."
Jing Nan was still frowning: "Oh?"
Du Heng smiled and said: "There are many people in the family and a lot of food, so it's lively to eat. But if there are fewer people, don't you eat? Even if you are alone, you must eat well. Unless I am the only one left in the family, otherwise I will not be perfunctory .”
Jing Nan looked at Du Heng: "I don't believe it, unless you let me drink a bowl of soup first." He had already moved a small stool and sat at the door, and he could already smell the umami in the soup.If he is not allowed to eat a bowl first, he will wait in vain.
Du Heng said seriously: "It's not ready yet, we have to wait and add something."
Du Heng was holding a piece of lettuce in his hand, which was the first ripe lettuce he had urged with his spiritual energy.He didn't expect there to be lettuce in the realm of comprehension. If he hadn't seen the dry lettuce stalks in the spiritual field, he would have missed this spring vegetable.
The lettuce was only a foot long, and the swollen stem was only four inches in diameter at its thickest point.It is short and fat, and it is not at all different from the lettuce stalk that is as tall as a person in Jingnan's field.
Jing Nan said that the vegetables Du Heng grows are the same as his own. For the same vegetables, Jing Nan grows long and thin ones, while Du Heng grows short, fat and short ones.The lettuces in Du Heng's field are only one foot high now, and each one is as green as a flower.
Du Heng's horizontal knife slices the lettuce from the root.The skin of the lettuce is malleable, and a knife is stuck at the boundary between the skin and the meat. With a little force, the top piece of skin can be peeled off.The lettuce skin contains milky white slurry, which is what Jing Nan needs, but they are of no use to Du Heng.
What Du Heng wanted was lettuce meat that was as tender as emeralds after peeling off the skin!It's a pity that he only brought out one piece of lettuce, and he cut the peeled lettuce into more than a dozen hob pieces.He put the lettuce in a bowl and walked to the stove under the eaves.
Lift the lid off the casserole pot on the stove with a creamy broth simmering in it!This is Du Heng's pickled fresh meat that has been stewed for almost an hour. At this time, the soup is thick like milk. Du Heng fished out the floating onion knots, and then pushed the lettuce into the pot.
Wen Qiong walked to the side and took a look: "Wow, it looks delicious. No wonder you were busy early in the morning."
Du Heng said with a smile: "This pickled duxian is a seasonal dish in our hometown. We use last year's bacon and this year's fresh meat and spring bamboo shoots. It is best to add a few venetian knots to stew together. A piece of lettuce."
Wen Qiong nodded: "It looks delicious. Can you teach me how to make it? I will try it when I go back?"
Du Heng stirred the pot with a spoon, and two pieces of square pork belly were fished out from the spoon.He smiled and said: "It's rare that the master is interested in this dish. If you like it, I will tell you first, and then I will write down the recipe for you later?"
Wen Qiong smiled: "Okay, if I'm too lazy to do it when I go back, I'll give them the recipe."
143
Standing next to the casserole, Du Heng said: "Take the bacon first, and it is best to use the pork belly part. The amount of pork belly depends on the number of people in your family. If there are more people, you can put more, and if there are fewer people, you can put less. The bacon should be soaked first. Soak for an hour to remove excess salt. Then cut into pieces and blanch for later use.”
Wen Qiong nodded: "Yeah, I know bacon, and I see that they sometimes make some and put it away. Can the bacon they make be used?"
Du Heng thought for a while: "Of course it can be used. If the master is worried, I will give you some bacon I made to take away when I go back."
Seeing Wen Qiong nodding, Du Heng continued: "Then take fresh meat, preferably streaky part. Put as much fresh meat as you like in bacon. Then cut it into pieces and blanch it for later use. Fresh bamboo shoots in spring are cut into pieces. Block or slice, blanch in water. These three ingredients are ready, put them together in a pot and add water and a small amount of ginger slices to stew. If you see foam after the water boils, remember to pick it up.”
Du Heng said the precautions slowly, while Wen Qiong squinted her eyes and listened.At this moment, their master and apprentice identities have been exchanged.Feng Gui and the others also listened carefully, only to hear Du Heng continue to say: "After the foam is removed, it can be stewed slowly after adding white wine. Be careful not to overheat the fire, just use a low heat to simmer slowly. Stew more than half of it." After hours, poke the meat with chopsticks, and it will be almost soft and rotten, and the venetian knots can be removed."
Wen Qiong looked at the knotted tofu products in the pot, and she was a little embarrassed: "Maybe I can't buy such a good venetian knot over there."
Du Heng smiled and said: "If you can't buy it, don't put it, it's nothing. If you buy a bad venetian knot, it will smell bad if you put it in. If there is a suitable one, put it in when the incense stick is about to start. .If there is lettuce, put it in the first two cups of tea. If you like to eat soft and rotten ones, you can put them in together with venetian knots for stewing."
Wen Qiong nodded humbly: "And then? Do you want to add anything after the time is up?"
Du Heng said: "Try the saltiness when the time is up, because there is already salt in the bacon, and under normal circumstances there is no need to add salt. If it is too bland, you can add some salt, if it is too salty... then you can only add more salt." Soup. So when I make it for the first time, I suggest to try the saltiness after half an hour of stewing, so as to add water as appropriate."
Wen Qiong smiled: "So many precautions? It's so troublesome."
Du Heng squinted his eyes: "It's not troublesome. The master has persisted in such a difficult and troublesome matter of cultivation. It's just a dish, and it's not troublesome at all. If you taste the saltiness and it feels right, you can cook it. Oh, that's right. If possible, you can also put a handful of shallots and stew it together, it will be more fragrant."
In fact, when the old family cooks this dish, MSG or chicken essence should be added at the end of the pot. Du Heng couldn't find a substitute for the time being, so he had to leave it out.
While talking, the lettuce in the pot was almost cooked.Du Heng greeted Jing Nan: "Where is the person who wants to drink soup?"
Jing Nan rushed over with the bowl in hand: "One bowl, one bowl." He couldn't stand this kind of salty soup, and challenged his willpower every time.
A few pieces of meat and bamboo shoots were placed in a white porcelain bowl, and a piece of emerald green lettuce was sandwiched inside.Sniff it, fresh!The smell of bacon and fresh meat is intertwined, and there is also the smell of spring bamboo shoots in it. This smell directly seduces the glutton in Jing Nan's stomach.
Just when Jing Nan was about to take a sip happily, he heard the sound of drinking soup from the side.
Looking down, Xiaoxiao was already drinking soup from the bowl in Du Heng's hand. Xiaoxiao gave the judgment before Jing Nan, and he flapped his little wings: "Jiujiu!!"
Jing Nan took a sip of the soup, and the soup was as delicious as imagined.There is a little bit of sweetness in the meat-soaked soup, which is the taste of bamboo shoots. After taking a sip of the soup, Jing Nan felt his irritability fly away.He couldn't help but took another big mouthful of soup, and after smacking his lips, he gave a comment: "Fresh!"
After drinking the soup, it is time to eat meat.There are two kinds of meat in Jing Nan's bowl. The skin of the bacon meat is slightly reddish, and its meat quality looks firmer than the fresh meat next to it.After an hour of stewing, the bacon is soft and rotten, and it is full of salty fragrance when chewed in the mouth.Compared with the steamed bacon that I ate before, it has another taste, and the taste is not bad!
The fresh meat was stewed so crispy, the fat meat melted in the mouth with a light sip, and even the delicious lean meat underneath loosened.The taste of this stew is good, and those who are short of oil and water will feel comfortable from the mouth to the heart if they serve it with chopsticks.
Spring is the season of bamboo shoots. During this time, Jing Nan and the others ate a lot of bamboo shoot-themed dishes.Braised bamboo shoots in oil, shredded bamboo shoots, cold bamboo shoots.The taste of the bamboo shoots is actually the same, but with different ingredients, the bamboo shoots are contaminated with other flavors, and the taste of the bamboo shoots in each dish is different.
The louvers are really troublesome to make. Jing Nan and the others saw Du Heng press the louvers layer by layer, and finally got a few thin yellowish louver rolls.The venetian knot is stronger than tofu, and it always smells like beans when it is stewed, but Jing Nan thinks it is better to cut a few pieces of tofu inside.
He couldn't understand why he added louvers to the soup, maybe it was Du Heng's feelings?
What surprised him the most was the green lettuce!The stewed lettuce was so soft that it broke when poked with chopsticks.The fresh and tender lettuce is rich in juice and has a unique fragrance.
After Jing Nan ate a piece of lettuce, he felt unsatisfied. He wondered whether he and Du Heng grew the same kind of lettuce?Why is the lettuce he grows dry, but the lettuce grown by Du Heng is so delicious?
At the kitchen table, everyone is holding soup bowls and drinking soup.Du Heng felt a little regretful: "There are few lettuces. If I had known earlier, I would have brought up a few more no matter what."
Wen Qiong comforted: "You are already very powerful. Many monks in the early stage of foundation establishment can only give Lingzhi the strength to grow but cannot make Lingzhi fully mature. As long as you maintain this state, you will be able to lay a solid foundation."
Du Heng took a sip of the soup, he was actually quite afraid of what Wen Qiong would say.To be honest, he felt that Wen Qiong was a little split. Every time he beat him, he felt like a waste, and when he praised him, it gave him the illusion that he was a genius.
Being Wen Qiong's disciple is so difficult, Du Heng wanted to shed bitter tears for himself.
The food at noon today is actually very delicious, but for Feng Gui, it feels a bit clear and watery.He said with some dissatisfaction: "I have to leave tomorrow, and you didn't cook me spicy dishes today! You even said to cook hot pot bottom ingredients for me, but you haven't done it until now."
Du Heng cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Don't worry, I'll fry the bottom ingredients for you tonight. I promise you will have plenty of bottom ingredients when you leave tomorrow. I have to practice in the afternoon, so please be considerate."
Du Heng has already discovered the way of co-existence of cooking and practice. For example, after eating, he put the mountain paste head in a pot to marinate. During the period of stewing the mountain paste head, he can go to practice, pull weeds in the field or Go to Peizhu Forest to compete with the bamboos.As long as the time is right, when he comes back from practice, he will be able to get a pot of delicious braised pork.
Using this method, he has recently made a lot of braised pork.If it is inconvenient in the future, just cut a plate of stewed pork and stir-fry some ingredients to deal with it.
The climate is humid during the Tomb-sweeping Season, and this season happens to be the season when everything grows wildly. The spiritual fields in the village are full of flowers of various colors.There are also flowers blooming in Du Heng's spiritual field, and the broad beans he planted are blooming.
There are small purple flowers blooming on the cyan broad bean stalks, and the scent wafts faintly.Xiaoxiao and Sui Sui looked for the 'little ears' that grew independently on the broad bean leaves.Occasionally let them find a 'little ear', Xiaoxiao will tweet to announce the good news to Du Heng.
Du Heng immersed himself in pulling weeds among his garlic seedlings, and the garlic seedlings that Xuanyu dug for him from the mountain had already begun to breed garlic sprouts.After a few more days, he will have garlic sprouts to eat.
Next to the garlic, a row of peas grew.The peas were planted late, and in this season, the peas would bloom small purple-red flowers like broad beans.But in Du Heng's field, the pea seedlings are only about ten inches long, and they are far from flowering.
Although it has not bloomed, it is when the pea shoots are the most tender.People who like pea sprouts are looking forward to this umami taste. The tender bean sprouts are picked and scalded in boiling water, and the green ones are scooped up in a bowl with dipping sauce. The taste is endless aftertaste.
Unfortunately, Du Heng is picky about vegetarian dishes. He doesn't like many vegetables with a strong taste, and pea sprouts are one of them.But he likes pea pods, green peas are delicious no matter what they do!
In the spring afternoon, Du Heng wandered in the field like a moving aura.His body kept drawing the spirit energy of the five elements between heaven and earth, and the spirit energy circled around his body before returning to the field.Wherever Du Heng went, the crops jumped up suddenly.
Wen Qiong stood on the ridge of the field, and she commented: "He has a good posture, even if I leave now, he can continue to practice smoothly."
Xuan Yu bowed to Wen Qiong: "Thank you." Wen Qiong hurriedly replied: "Master Xuan, you are being polite. To be able to reach this level is related to Du Heng's own aptitude and understanding."
Xuanyu said: "Without you building the foundation for him, he would not be able to practice the Dharma until now."
Wen Qiong smiled: "With you all by my side, he will take this path sooner or later." It was the first time Du Heng saw Wen Qiong and Xuanyu standing together and joking, to be honest, when he first saw this scene, he would Sourly envious of Xuanyu.Later, he would be frightened, afraid that the two people would think of some way to torment him during the conversation.
But now, there was an unspeakable emotion in his heart.He suddenly felt that Wen Qiong was standing in the wrong position, as Wen Qiong stood there, Xuan Yu had Wen Qiong in his eyes.
Du Heng scratched his cheek, spring is really easy to make people cranky.He raised his voice and asked the two of them: "The pea shoots in my field are edible, does anyone want to taste this?"
Xiaoxiao got out of the broad beans: "Jiujiu!!" He wants to eat!Please don't forget him!

Today's practice is really easy to distract. When standing in the bamboo forest, Du Heng suddenly thought of a problem.If Feng Gui and the others left, wouldn't there be only four of them left in the village?How lonely it must be!
Du Heng was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he had already been sent flying by Peizhu.The sound of the bamboo being pulled out and cracking echoed in my ears, and Du Heng was beaten bloody.
When Du Heng came out of Peizhu Forest, his clothes were stained with blood.Du Heng groaned and lay on Xuanyu's back: "Oh...it hurts..."
Xuan Yu looked behind him distressedly: "Are you distracted? You shouldn't be beaten like this."
Du Heng sniffed Xuanyu's cold fragrance, and he snorted twice: "Well, I just walked away for a while, I really can't think wildly in practice, Peizhu almost killed me."
Seeing Du Heng being recited, both Jing Nan and Feng Gui were taken aback: "Oh, why did you fight so badly today, Du Heng, are you distracted?"
Du Heng was embarrassed. The whole village knew about his distraction, and he was really ashamed to see others.
Jing Nan hurriedly took out the elixir: "It's okay, it's not a serious injury. I admire you too. You dare to lose your mind in Peizhu Forest. Come, tell me, what are you thinking?"
Du Heng said embarrassingly: "I thought that if Feng Gui and Master left, there would be only four of us left in the village, and I would feel so lonely."
Hearing what Du Heng said, Feng Gui and the others fell silent.
Feng Gui thought for a while and said: "I don't want to leave either, but I have to go because of my duty. I'm sorry..."
Feng Gui's sudden apology made Du Heng not know what to say, Du Heng said guiltily: "I didn't mean that, I still have to do what should be done. That's what I thought, I won't be distracted when I am practicing in the future .”
Xuanyu carried Du Heng on his back to get the medicine, and when Du Heng came down from the stairs, he was a resounding hero again, but his broken arm was still not healed.
Du Heng looked a bit miserable today, sitting on a chair, he felt like a puppet put together by an unqualified puppeteer.His arm was bandaged and he would have grinned if touched.
Such a Du Heng will definitely not be able to make dinner, but fortunately Xuan Yu is here, and Xuan Yu can cook under Du Heng's command!
At this time, the yam paste head in the stewed meat pot has been marinated in place, and with a light poke with chopsticks, the chopsticks can pass through the meat on the cheeks and reach the bones.
Du Heng said to Xuan Yu apologetically, "I've caused you trouble."
Xuan Yu was taking the yam head out of the pot, half of the yam head was steaming in the wooden basin, and it smelled delicious.It just looks kind of scary.
There was a layer of oil floating on the brine in the pot, Xuanyu asked: "Put the brine away or just pour it out?"
Du Heng thought for a while: "Let's pour it out. In fact, you can use this bibimbap to eat for little wontons." It's all broth and bibimbap, and the puppy will not dislike it.
Xuanyu looked at the little wonton: "Okay, I'll keep it for bibimbap later."
Jing Nan and Feng Gui silently raised their thumbs up: "It's too cruel."
Little Wonton snorted twice, it chased its tail twice and then lay down beside Du Heng's legs, looking very cute and innocent.
Once the pig's head has cooled slightly, the meat can be peeled off the bone.It wasn't Du Heng who peeled the pig's head today, but it didn't affect Xiaoxiao's eating next to him.
The chubby smile squatted next to the chopping board, he could nibble off a piece of meat from the pig's head in the wooden basin just by stretching his neck.But he wouldn't do that, he tilted his head and looked at Xuanyu, expecting that Xuanyu would stuff the first piece of meat into his mouth after peeling it off.
Du Heng laughed when he saw Xiaoxiao like this, and he said to Xuanyu: "Xuanyu, you can peel off the brittle bones in the upper jaw of Shanyou and give it to Xiaoxiao."
This is a delicacy that can only be eaten at home, and the meat is crispy, and the children love it.
Xuanyu nodded, and he peeled off a piece of curly flesh about the size of a palm from the upper jaw of the mountain paste, with lines and lines on it, which really looked unusual.
Du Heng introduced: "This piece of meat is not edible outside, Xuanyu, you cut it off and let everyone taste it. Of course, the first piece is for Xiaoxiao."
Xuan Yu raised the knife and fell, the fist-sized brittle bone was divided into six pieces, of which the outermost piece was the largest.Xuanyu picked it up and handed it to Xiaoxiao, who took the piece of meat with squinted eyes.
He only heard the crunchy sound coming from his mouth, and he shook his wings with a smile and let out a laugh.
Feng Gui's eyes were warmed by that slapstick sample, he rubbed and smiled, then walked over and squeezed a piece to taste: "It doesn't look very good, but the taste is surprisingly crisp."
Du Heng is very good at stewed meat, he prefers white cut, but this time he added some soy sauce to the pot when stewing the yam head.The marinated pork head is brownish red in color, which looks better than the usual white-cut pork head.
Xuan Yu pinched a piece of crispy bone and stuffed it into Du Heng's mouth, Du Heng smashed it: "I haven't tasted this taste for many years."
The stewed shan yao tou was very successful, and even this crispy bone was tasty.The five-spice crispy bone breaks apart with a slight bite in the mouth. This kind of taste is not only liked by children, but even Du Heng likes it.
Wen Qiong and the others didn't feel satisfied after sharing the crispy bone, so Xuanyu tore off the other side of the palate.
Everyone felt unsatisfied: "Why is Shan Gao not up to snuff? Can't the mouth grow bigger?"
The mountain ointment in the basin has its eyes closed, if there is knowledge in its spring, the coffin board may not be able to hold it down.
While the pig's head was still hot, Xuanyu grabbed the protruding gums from the pig's nostrils, and he grabbed the nostrils with the other hand, and with both hands, half of the pig's face was torn off.There are only a few tendons between the pork and the bones. A little force can tear the tendons off the bones, and a few holes will appear on the bones.
The eyes of pigs are deeply sunken in the eye sockets, and there is a lot of meat sticking around the eye sockets.Xuanyu put down the bones, he took a small knife and turned it around the eye sockets to cut off the tendons sticking to the bones.Then, with some force in his hand, half of the pig's face was removed by him. There was still some edible food on the bone in his hand, and there was a brittle bone in the nasal cavity.
After Xuanyu pulled out the brittle bones and a few pieces of meat attached inside, the bones became smooth.At this time, the pig's head can only be used to feed dogs.And the only dog in the family, Little Wonton, was very calm. Even if Jing Nan handed the bone to Little Wonton, Little Wonton just looked up at him.
Jing Nan: "Puppy, are you eating bones?"
Little Wonton: ...
Du Heng was a little strange: "Dogs usually like to chew on bones, why don't our wontons like to chew on bones? Does it mean that they don't like to eat without meat?"
Little Wonton shook her tail at Du Heng, raised her two white eyebrows above her eyes, and looked very simple and honest.
Du Heng bent down and touched the little wonton's head: "Our wonton doesn't like to eat bones without meat, how about stewing pork ribs for you next time?"
The tail of the little wonton was shaken by the wind, Jing Nan put the pig bone in the trash can: "Cut, it's useless to keep you, you don't even want to eat the bones, why don't you go to heaven?"
Du Heng scratched the puppy's chin: "Don't bully it, it's still young."
Jing Nan said quietly: "You just protect it, sooner or later you will regret it."
A pot full of meat was stripped from a pig's head, not counting the two big ears and thick tongue.Shan Gao may be able to speak human, its tongue is larger than that of ordinary pigs, and it looks like a cow tongue.
Cut the pork tongue and pig ears into slices and put them on the plate while they were still hot. Everyone rushed over and tasted a few slices each.
There are crisp bones in the pig ears, and a layer of skin is wrapped on both sides of the crisp bones.After marinating, the pig's ear has no smell at all, and it tastes crunchy.
The taste of pork tongue is firmer than that of meat, and the meat is firm and chewy when you bite into it.The salty marinade has entered the tongue, and the aftertaste is endless after eating it empty-handed. If it is dipped in Du Heng's special dipping sauce, it will be really delicious.
Xuanyu cut half a pig's tongue and half a pig's ear, and put a full plate.In addition, there is pork cheek, which is different from what it looks like. Many people think that the pork is full of fat. In fact, it is just the opposite. There is more lean meat than fat on the pig's head.
Xuanyu cut a piece of meat near the pig's nostrils. The brown-red meat was cut into thick slices. When it was hot, it was soft and glutinous, but when it cooled a little, it had a crispy feeling.The meat near the neck is thicker, and the fat behind one finger is slightly transparent, followed by flexible lean meat.
Wen Qiong carefully tasted the different parts of the pig's head, and she was amazed: "I never knew that the taste of the pig's head is so good. Every part tastes different. This is delicious!"
Xiaoxiao ate so much that her mouth was full of oil, and she couldn't stop mouthful after mouthful.Hearing what Wen Qiong said, Xiaoxiao also nodded: "Jiujiu!"
Xiaoxiao not only eats by himself, he also takes good care of his little brothers.Du Heng saw him stealthily throwing the pig's head meat under the table, and Xiao wonton and Nian Nian Sui Sui were waiting under the table.Everyone didn't stop him when they saw it, but thought he was very cute.
Du Heng said with a smile: "There are still several mountain pastes and Kui Niu's head in the refrigerator. If you like it, I will pack it up when I have time."
Du Heng felt that the sheep's heads, pig's heads, and ox's heads in his refrigerator were all eaten up, and winter was coming.
Feng Gui put his hands in his hands and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I'm leaving tomorrow. Du Heng, after you finish it, leave me a few, and I'll send someone back to pick it up. By the way, I wanted to ask just now, Shan Gao head Where is the brain inside? Why is there no brain?"
Ever since Fenggui ate the brains of the black beast last time, he fell in love with the dense and smooth taste of the brains.When he ate chicken and duck in the past few days, he would bite open the skull and suck out the brains inside.
He used to disdain to eat this kind of food, but now, he feels that as long as there are enough ingredients, he can eat it as a meal.
Du Heng smiled and said, "I asked Xuanyu to put away the brain, and I will put it into the hot pot next time. It tastes very smooth!"
Shan Gao has a very large brain, three times larger than a pig's brain.How enjoyable it would be if such a pig's brain was made into a brain teaser!It's a pity that Du Heng can't eat spicy food, and the brains will end up in Xiaoxiao or Wen Qiong's stomach.
Feng Gui stared straight: "Is it a bully?"
Du Heng looked at Fenggui with a smile: "Why don't you wait for Xuanyu to fry the hot pot base at night, cook it for you first and let you eat it before you go to bed?"
Feng Gui thought for a while: "Well, this is acceptable."
Smiling and rolling his eyes at his uncle with disdain, he robbed himself for something to eat again. Uncle really hates it, so let's leave early.
Du Heng felt that the group of people in the village, when they met for the first time, were all shiny and golden, and their natures were exposed after a long time.One is more childish than the other, and one is more difficult to coax.
But Du Heng thinks that he likes this kind of village and this kind of people. Compared with those who know people and face but don't know their heart, the people around him are like gods.
The author has something to say: Feng Gui: I have fallen to the point of eating pig's head, hey...
Jing Nan: You have eaten large intestines, let alone pig heads?Be content.
When I was young, whenever spring and summer came, there would be pig heads for sale.
Fenggui will go on a long journey tomorrow, and in the past he would leave the village after the rain. This year, because of Du Heng, he stayed at home until Qingming.
Du Heng is preparing food for Fenggui to travel. Fenggui is a curmudgeonly and irritable person. He must put his food on a nice plate, and he can take it out whenever he wants to eat.He proudly threw many sets of bone china bowls to Du Heng, each of which was exquisitely shaped, and Du Heng used these plates to serve him food.
His favorite sausage and spicy meat must be indispensable. Du Heng steamed, cut and packed more than 30 plates for him.The remaining five black beasts were also made into cold-eat rabbits and roasted rabbits. Fenggui could take at least three away.For non-spicy roast duck and roast chicken, Du Heng packed a dozen of them for him.There are more scraps scattered around for him to fill a large basin.
In addition, Du Heng also asked him to bring a lot of marinated Kui beef tendon meat, which is not too spicy.If Fenggui just eats alone, he can eat what Du Heng asked him to take away until this winter.At that time, Fenggui will be able to come back, and then there will be new things to take away!
One-third of the meat in the house was taken away by Feng Gui, which made Jing Nan extremely jealous: "I should also go out and ask Du Heng to make me a bunch of delicious food."
Feng Gui put his hands in his hands and said leisurely: "It's not a matter of saying that you want to go out? It's not because you are lazy and don't like going anywhere."
Jing Nan ate a marinated egg and said leisurely: "The golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as my dog's nest. No matter how good it is outside, it is better to have a home. Besides, there is Du Heng at home. I can eat hot and good food at any time. You can only Living on the contents of the storage bag, hehe~”
Feng Gui rolled his eyes: "Old Nan, you really feel bad for doing this."
Jing Nan snorted: "How many times have I told you, don't call me this nickname. Don't forget, you have one too, do you need me to tell Du Heng?"
Du Heng, who was busy on the stove, cut two pieces of braised pork and fed them to Xiaoxiao and Wen Qiong. He turned his head and asked, "Huh? Fenggui has a nickname? What's it called? Tell me about it?"
Fenggui bared her teeth and threatened Jingnan: "If you dare to tell Du Heng, I will tell Xiaoyu all the things you did before."
Xuanyu, who was brushing the secret sauce prepared by Du Heng on the grilled fish, turned his head in surprise: "What matters?"
Seeing that the three of them were about to pinch each other, Wen Qiong said with a smile: "It's so lively, I can't bear to leave."
Du Heng was stunned: "Master? What are you talking about? Where are you going?" Wen Qiong is leaving?Why hasn't he heard of it before?Wen Qiong gnawed on the braised pork and said casually, "I'm going to leave on the day of Lixia."
Du Heng almost cut it to his hand: "Hey? Lixia...isn't it just next month? Master, are you leaving now? When will you come back after leaving? What about my practice?"
Wen Qiong picked up another piece of braised pork from the chopping board, and she said calmly: "Before I leave, I will teach you everything I can teach you before you form an alchemy. As long as you practice hard after I leave, it won't take long Jie Dan. I have something to do at home, so I can't always stay in the village."
Du Heng understood and sighed a little: "Is our master-student relationship only a short period of three months?"
Wen Qiong said calmly: "Even if I only teach you for one day, I am still your master. There is a saying in the cultivation world? You will be a teacher for one day and a father for life. If you enter my door, don't even think about begging others I have become a teacher. I know that you look good."
Du Heng hurriedly cut a thick piece of stewed meat to honor Wen Qiong: "Don't dare, the master taught the disciple not to forget. I'm not used to thinking of you leaving? If you leave, who will supervise the disciple? "
Wen Qiong squeezed the stewed meat and ate it with oily mouth: "Cultivation is one's own business. If you rely on others to supervise everything, it's better to live a lazy life without practicing."
Wen Qiong smiled at Du Heng: "Besides, after I left, your practice officially started. Do you think it's easy for you? I'm afraid you won't even be able to leave the village if you haven't formed the alchemy."
What Du Heng could say, he could only smile embarrassingly: "Master is right."
Jing Nan said with a smile: "Xiao Qiong is right, don't think you can be lazy if she leaves. There is never a shortcut to practice, don't worry, we will look after you instead of Xiao Qiong."
Du Heng said with a bitter face: "Okay, okay, I understand."
Feng Gui pointed to the big wooden basin beside him: "I've been wanting to ask since just now, is the thing soaked in there... a mountain balm head?"
There is a large wooden barrel next to the stove, and a huge pig's head is soaked in the wooden barrel.The pig's head has been split in half, and the pig's ears and tongue have been cut off and cleaned carefully.The water in the bucket has become clear, and the pig's head can be seen clearly even if it is immersed in the water.
Du Heng smiled and said, "Yes, I'm going to braise a pig's head to eat."
Feng Gui frowned: "Why are you eating this kind of leftovers again? Is there no meat at home? Let Lao Dao deliver the meat, why bother?"
Du Heng smiled while feeding and said: "Spring is the season for all things to rest and live. No matter how many animals there are in the mountains, we must give them time to reproduce. There is still meat at home, at least until autumn. The meat will not be broken. I It’s just that I have to take enough to be inexhaustible, and the leftovers are delicious when they’re done.”
What Du Heng said was true. Since he came to the village, Jing Nan and the others ate a lot of discarded leftovers.Not many people were willing to eat the feet of mountain ointment mole, but in Du Heng's hands, his stewed hooves were soft and glutinous, no worse than the meat on his body.
There are also chicken heads, duck feet, goose necks, etc., marinated for a while, and those who like spicy food can't stop eating.It is made into white-cut five-spice ones, and Jing Nan has to touch two of them to gnaw if he has nothing to do.
At first they all refused when they saw Du Heng cooking leftovers, but now they say no, their bodies are more honest than anyone else.
Du Heng said with a smile: "Don't look down on Shan Gao's head, there is a lot of meat on a pig's head. The pork head meat is well marinated, and it tastes crunchy. It's great to drink with!"
Hearing that he could serve wine, Feng Gui suddenly became excited: "Then you can marinate a little more, I can take it away!"
Du Heng said with a smile: "It's more troublesome to clean up this. We can eat half of it, and you can take the other half."
In order to tidy up a mountain paste head, he and Xuan Yu spent half an hour scrubbing and brushing, even the mountain paste's teeth were whitened.The mountain paste is more than twice as big as the pig in my hometown, and a pig's head is comparable to a cow's head.
While talking, Du Heng cut up the marinated meat and put it on a plate: "At noon, we will simply deal with it. In the evening, we will eat pork head meat."
It is said to be easy to deal with, but the dishes are not simple at all.I saw a plate of white-cut stewed pork on the dining table, and there were two kinds of dipping sauces beside it.After a while, Xuanyu's grilled fish came up, and it was another meat dish.
Since Du Heng started practicing, the changes on the dining table are obvious.When he first arrived in the village, there were big fish and meat on the table.Meat and vegetarian dishes are now on the table equally, Jing Nan thinks that after a while, only vegetarian dishes will be left on the table for meetings.
Jing Nan sighed: "Xiaoyu, Du Heng's cooking is getting simpler and simpler, you see, he is getting more and more perfunctory."
Today's lunch has three dishes and one soup, which are white-cut braised pork, five-spice grilled fish, pickled Du Xian and wine and herb head.Although there are only four dishes, each dish has a sufficient portion, and everyone will not waste it after a meal.Back in the Chinese New Year, there were turntables on the dining table. Compared with that time, the food now is shabby.
Du Heng turned his head with a smile: "That's not the case. In autumn and winter, people need to nourish themselves, so it's okay to eat more fatty food. In spring, they should eat a little lighter, so that people can be active. In summer, people will be more light. I don’t have much appetite, I’m too tired to eat big fish and meat.”
Seeing Jingnan's suspicious expression, Du Heng said: "Don't underestimate the vegetarian dishes. Vegetarian dishes are delicious and easy to make than meat dishes. Look at the pickled fresh stewed outside. In fact, it is very troublesome to make. But it tastes better than meat dishes. Chicken soup and the like are refreshing, and the taste is not bad."
Jing Nan was still frowning: "Oh?"
Du Heng smiled and said: "There are many people in the family and a lot of food, so it's lively to eat. But if there are fewer people, don't you eat? Even if you are alone, you must eat well. Unless I am the only one left in the family, otherwise I will not be perfunctory .”
Jing Nan looked at Du Heng: "I don't believe it, unless you let me drink a bowl of soup first." He had already moved a small stool and sat at the door, and he could already smell the umami in the soup.If he is not allowed to eat a bowl first, he will wait in vain.
Du Heng said seriously: "It's not ready yet, we have to wait and add something."
Du Heng was holding a piece of lettuce in his hand, which was the first ripe lettuce he had urged with his spiritual energy.He didn't expect there to be lettuce in the realm of comprehension. If he hadn't seen the dry lettuce stalks in the spiritual field, he would have missed this spring vegetable.
The lettuce was only a foot long, and the swollen stem was only four inches in diameter at its thickest point.It is short and fat, and it is not at all different from the lettuce stalk that is as tall as a person in Jingnan's field.
Jing Nan said that the vegetables Du Heng grows are the same as his own. For the same vegetables, Jing Nan grows long and thin ones, while Du Heng grows short, fat and short ones.The lettuces in Du Heng's field are only one foot high now, and each one is as green as a flower.
Du Heng's horizontal knife slices the lettuce from the root.The skin of the lettuce is malleable, and a knife is stuck at the boundary between the skin and the meat. With a little force, the top piece of skin can be peeled off.The lettuce skin contains milky white slurry, which is what Jing Nan needs, but they are of no use to Du Heng.
What Du Heng wanted was lettuce meat that was as tender as emeralds after peeling off the skin!It's a pity that he only brought out one piece of lettuce, and he cut the peeled lettuce into more than a dozen hob pieces.He put the lettuce in a bowl and walked to the stove under the eaves.
Lift the lid off the casserole pot on the stove with a creamy broth simmering in it!This is Du Heng's pickled fresh meat that has been stewed for almost an hour. At this time, the soup is thick like milk. Du Heng fished out the floating onion knots, and then pushed the lettuce into the pot.
Wen Qiong walked to the side and took a look: "Wow, it looks delicious. No wonder you were busy early in the morning."
Du Heng said with a smile: "This pickled duxian is a seasonal dish in our hometown. We use last year's bacon and this year's fresh meat and spring bamboo shoots. It is best to add a few venetian knots to stew together. A piece of lettuce."
Wen Qiong nodded: "It looks delicious. Can you teach me how to make it? I will try it when I go back?"
Du Heng stirred the pot with a spoon, and two pieces of square pork belly were fished out from the spoon.He smiled and said: "It's rare that the master is interested in this dish. If you like it, I will tell you first, and then I will write down the recipe for you later?"
Wen Qiong smiled: "Okay, if I'm too lazy to do it when I go back, I'll give them the recipe."
143
Standing next to the casserole, Du Heng said: "Take the bacon first, and it is best to use the pork belly part. The amount of pork belly depends on the number of people in your family. If there are more people, you can put more, and if there are fewer people, you can put less. The bacon should be soaked first. Soak for an hour to remove excess salt. Then cut into pieces and blanch for later use.”
Wen Qiong nodded: "Yeah, I know bacon, and I see that they sometimes make some and put it away. Can the bacon they make be used?"
Du Heng thought for a while: "Of course it can be used. If the master is worried, I will give you some bacon I made to take away when I go back."
Seeing Wen Qiong nodding, Du Heng continued: "Then take fresh meat, preferably streaky part. Put as much fresh meat as you like in bacon. Then cut it into pieces and blanch it for later use. Fresh bamboo shoots in spring are cut into pieces. Block or slice, blanch in water. These three ingredients are ready, put them together in a pot and add water and a small amount of ginger slices to stew. If you see foam after the water boils, remember to pick it up.”
Du Heng said the precautions slowly, while Wen Qiong squinted her eyes and listened.At this moment, their master and apprentice identities have been exchanged.Feng Gui and the others also listened carefully, only to hear Du Heng continue to say: "After the foam is removed, it can be stewed slowly after adding white wine. Be careful not to overheat the fire, just use a low heat to simmer slowly. Stew more than half of it." After hours, poke the meat with chopsticks, and it will be almost soft and rotten, and the venetian knots can be removed."
Wen Qiong looked at the knotted tofu products in the pot, and she was a little embarrassed: "Maybe I can't buy such a good venetian knot over there."
Du Heng smiled and said: "If you can't buy it, don't put it, it's nothing. If you buy a bad venetian knot, it will smell bad if you put it in. If there is a suitable one, put it in when the incense stick is about to start. .If there is lettuce, put it in the first two cups of tea. If you like to eat soft and rotten ones, you can put them in together with venetian knots for stewing."
Wen Qiong nodded humbly: "And then? Do you want to add anything after the time is up?"
Du Heng said: "Try the saltiness when the time is up, because there is already salt in the bacon, and under normal circumstances there is no need to add salt. If it is too bland, you can add some salt, if it is too salty... then you can only add more salt." Soup. So when I make it for the first time, I suggest to try the saltiness after half an hour of stewing, so as to add water as appropriate."
Wen Qiong smiled: "So many precautions? It's so troublesome."
Du Heng squinted his eyes: "It's not troublesome. The master has persisted in such a difficult and troublesome matter of cultivation. It's just a dish, and it's not troublesome at all. If you taste the saltiness and it feels right, you can cook it. Oh, that's right. If possible, you can also put a handful of shallots and stew it together, it will be more fragrant."
In fact, when the old family cooks this dish, MSG or chicken essence should be added at the end of the pot. Du Heng couldn't find a substitute for the time being, so he had to leave it out.
While talking, the lettuce in the pot was almost cooked.Du Heng greeted Jing Nan: "Where is the person who wants to drink soup?"
Jing Nan rushed over with the bowl in hand: "One bowl, one bowl." He couldn't stand this kind of salty soup, and challenged his willpower every time.
A few pieces of meat and bamboo shoots were placed in a white porcelain bowl, and a piece of emerald green lettuce was sandwiched inside.Sniff it, fresh!The smell of bacon and fresh meat is intertwined, and there is also the smell of spring bamboo shoots in it. This smell directly seduces the glutton in Jing Nan's stomach.
Just when Jing Nan was about to take a sip happily, he heard the sound of drinking soup from the side.
Looking down, Xiaoxiao was already drinking soup from the bowl in Du Heng's hand. Xiaoxiao gave the judgment before Jing Nan, and he flapped his little wings: "Jiujiu!!"
Jing Nan took a sip of the soup, and the soup was as delicious as imagined.There is a little bit of sweetness in the meat-soaked soup, which is the taste of bamboo shoots. After taking a sip of the soup, Jing Nan felt his irritability fly away.He couldn't help but took another big mouthful of soup, and after smacking his lips, he gave a comment: "Fresh!"
After drinking the soup, it is time to eat meat.There are two kinds of meat in Jing Nan's bowl. The skin of the bacon meat is slightly reddish, and its meat quality looks firmer than the fresh meat next to it.After an hour of stewing, the bacon is soft and rotten, and it is full of salty fragrance when chewed in the mouth.Compared with the steamed bacon that I ate before, it has another taste, and the taste is not bad!
The fresh meat was stewed so crispy, the fat meat melted in the mouth with a light sip, and even the delicious lean meat underneath loosened.The taste of this stew is good, and those who are short of oil and water will feel comfortable from the mouth to the heart if they serve it with chopsticks.
Spring is the season of bamboo shoots. During this time, Jing Nan and the others ate a lot of bamboo shoot-themed dishes.Braised bamboo shoots in oil, shredded bamboo shoots, cold bamboo shoots.The taste of the bamboo shoots is actually the same, but with different ingredients, the bamboo shoots are contaminated with other flavors, and the taste of the bamboo shoots in each dish is different.
The louvers are really troublesome to make. Jing Nan and the others saw Du Heng press the louvers layer by layer, and finally got a few thin yellowish louver rolls.The venetian knot is stronger than tofu, and it always smells like beans when it is stewed, but Jing Nan thinks it is better to cut a few pieces of tofu inside.
He couldn't understand why he added louvers to the soup, maybe it was Du Heng's feelings?
What surprised him the most was the green lettuce!The stewed lettuce was so soft that it broke when poked with chopsticks.The fresh and tender lettuce is rich in juice and has a unique fragrance.
After Jing Nan ate a piece of lettuce, he felt unsatisfied. He wondered whether he and Du Heng grew the same kind of lettuce?Why is the lettuce he grows dry, but the lettuce grown by Du Heng is so delicious?
At the kitchen table, everyone is holding soup bowls and drinking soup.Du Heng felt a little regretful: "There are few lettuces. If I had known earlier, I would have brought up a few more no matter what."
Wen Qiong comforted: "You are already very powerful. Many monks in the early stage of foundation establishment can only give Lingzhi the strength to grow but cannot make Lingzhi fully mature. As long as you maintain this state, you will be able to lay a solid foundation."
Du Heng took a sip of the soup, he was actually quite afraid of what Wen Qiong would say.To be honest, he felt that Wen Qiong was a little split. Every time he beat him, he felt like a waste, and when he praised him, it gave him the illusion that he was a genius.
Being Wen Qiong's disciple is so difficult, Du Heng wanted to shed bitter tears for himself.
The food at noon today is actually very delicious, but for Feng Gui, it feels a bit clear and watery.He said with some dissatisfaction: "I have to leave tomorrow, and you didn't cook me spicy dishes today! You even said to cook hot pot bottom ingredients for me, but you haven't done it until now."
Du Heng cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Don't worry, I'll fry the bottom ingredients for you tonight. I promise you will have plenty of bottom ingredients when you leave tomorrow. I have to practice in the afternoon, so please be considerate."
Du Heng has already discovered the way of co-existence of cooking and practice. For example, after eating, he put the mountain paste head in a pot to marinate. During the period of stewing the mountain paste head, he can go to practice, pull weeds in the field or Go to Peizhu Forest to compete with the bamboos.As long as the time is right, when he comes back from practice, he will be able to get a pot of delicious braised pork.
Using this method, he has recently made a lot of braised pork.If it is inconvenient in the future, just cut a plate of stewed pork and stir-fry some ingredients to deal with it.
The climate is humid during the Tomb-sweeping Season, and this season happens to be the season when everything grows wildly. The spiritual fields in the village are full of flowers of various colors.There are also flowers blooming in Du Heng's spiritual field, and the broad beans he planted are blooming.
There are small purple flowers blooming on the cyan broad bean stalks, and the scent wafts faintly.Xiaoxiao and Sui Sui looked for the 'little ears' that grew independently on the broad bean leaves.Occasionally let them find a 'little ear', Xiaoxiao will tweet to announce the good news to Du Heng.
Du Heng immersed himself in pulling weeds among his garlic seedlings, and the garlic seedlings that Xuanyu dug for him from the mountain had already begun to breed garlic sprouts.After a few more days, he will have garlic sprouts to eat.
Next to the garlic, a row of peas grew.The peas were planted late, and in this season, the peas would bloom small purple-red flowers like broad beans.But in Du Heng's field, the pea seedlings are only about ten inches long, and they are far from flowering.
Although it has not bloomed, it is when the pea shoots are the most tender.People who like pea sprouts are looking forward to this umami taste. The tender bean sprouts are picked and scalded in boiling water, and the green ones are scooped up in a bowl with dipping sauce. The taste is endless aftertaste.
Unfortunately, Du Heng is picky about vegetarian dishes. He doesn't like many vegetables with a strong taste, and pea sprouts are one of them.But he likes pea pods, green peas are delicious no matter what they do!
In the spring afternoon, Du Heng wandered in the field like a moving aura.His body kept drawing the spirit energy of the five elements between heaven and earth, and the spirit energy circled around his body before returning to the field.Wherever Du Heng went, the crops jumped up suddenly.
Wen Qiong stood on the ridge of the field, and she commented: "He has a good posture, even if I leave now, he can continue to practice smoothly."
Xuan Yu bowed to Wen Qiong: "Thank you." Wen Qiong hurriedly replied: "Master Xuan, you are being polite. To be able to reach this level is related to Du Heng's own aptitude and understanding."
Xuanyu said: "Without you building the foundation for him, he would not be able to practice the Dharma until now."
Wen Qiong smiled: "With you all by my side, he will take this path sooner or later." It was the first time Du Heng saw Wen Qiong and Xuanyu standing together and joking, to be honest, when he first saw this scene, he would Sourly envious of Xuanyu.Later, he would be frightened, afraid that the two people would think of some way to torment him during the conversation.
But now, there was an unspeakable emotion in his heart.He suddenly felt that Wen Qiong was standing in the wrong position, as Wen Qiong stood there, Xuan Yu had Wen Qiong in his eyes.
Du Heng scratched his cheek, spring is really easy to make people cranky.He raised his voice and asked the two of them: "The pea shoots in my field are edible, does anyone want to taste this?"
Xiaoxiao got out of the broad beans: "Jiujiu!!" He wants to eat!Please don't forget him!
144
Today's practice is really easy to distract. When standing in the bamboo forest, Du Heng suddenly thought of a problem.If Feng Gui and the others left, wouldn't there be only four of them left in the village?How lonely it must be!
Du Heng was stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he had already been sent flying by Peizhu.The sound of the bamboo being pulled out and cracking echoed in my ears, and Du Heng was beaten bloody.
When Du Heng came out of Peizhu Forest, his clothes were stained with blood.Du Heng groaned and lay on Xuanyu's back: "Oh...it hurts..."
Xuan Yu looked behind him distressedly: "Are you distracted? You shouldn't be beaten like this."
Du Heng sniffed Xuanyu's cold fragrance, and he snorted twice: "Well, I just walked away for a while, I really can't think wildly in practice, Peizhu almost killed me."
Seeing Du Heng being recited, both Jing Nan and Feng Gui were taken aback: "Oh, why did you fight so badly today, Du Heng, are you distracted?"
Du Heng was embarrassed. The whole village knew about his distraction, and he was really ashamed to see others.
Jing Nan hurriedly took out the elixir: "It's okay, it's not a serious injury. I admire you too. You dare to lose your mind in Peizhu Forest. Come, tell me, what are you thinking?"
Du Heng said embarrassingly: "I thought that if Feng Gui and Master left, there would be only four of us left in the village, and I would feel so lonely."
Hearing what Du Heng said, Feng Gui and the others fell silent.
Feng Gui thought for a while and said: "I don't want to leave either, but I have to go because of my duty. I'm sorry..."
Feng Gui's sudden apology made Du Heng not know what to say, Du Heng said guiltily: "I didn't mean that, I still have to do what should be done. That's what I thought, I won't be distracted when I am practicing in the future .”
Xuanyu carried Du Heng on his back to get the medicine, and when Du Heng came down from the stairs, he was a resounding hero again, but his broken arm was still not healed.
Du Heng looked a bit miserable today, sitting on a chair, he felt like a puppet put together by an unqualified puppeteer.His arm was bandaged and he would have grinned if touched.
Such a Du Heng will definitely not be able to make dinner, but fortunately Xuan Yu is here, and Xuan Yu can cook under Du Heng's command!
At this time, the yam paste head in the stewed meat pot has been marinated in place, and with a light poke with chopsticks, the chopsticks can pass through the meat on the cheeks and reach the bones.
Du Heng said to Xuan Yu apologetically, "I've caused you trouble."
Xuan Yu was taking the yam head out of the pot, half of the yam head was steaming in the wooden basin, and it smelled delicious.It just looks kind of scary.
There was a layer of oil floating on the brine in the pot, Xuanyu asked: "Put the brine away or just pour it out?"
Du Heng thought for a while: "Let's pour it out. In fact, you can use this bibimbap to eat for little wontons." It's all broth and bibimbap, and the puppy will not dislike it.
Xuanyu looked at the little wonton: "Okay, I'll keep it for bibimbap later."
Jing Nan and Feng Gui silently raised their thumbs up: "It's too cruel."
Little Wonton snorted twice, it chased its tail twice and then lay down beside Du Heng's legs, looking very cute and innocent.
Once the pig's head has cooled slightly, the meat can be peeled off the bone.It wasn't Du Heng who peeled the pig's head today, but it didn't affect Xiaoxiao's eating next to him.
The chubby smile squatted next to the chopping board, he could nibble off a piece of meat from the pig's head in the wooden basin just by stretching his neck.But he wouldn't do that, he tilted his head and looked at Xuanyu, expecting that Xuanyu would stuff the first piece of meat into his mouth after peeling it off.
Du Heng laughed when he saw Xiaoxiao like this, and he said to Xuanyu: "Xuanyu, you can peel off the brittle bones in the upper jaw of Shanyou and give it to Xiaoxiao."
This is a delicacy that can only be eaten at home, and the meat is crispy, and the children love it.
Xuanyu nodded, and he peeled off a piece of curly flesh about the size of a palm from the upper jaw of the mountain paste, with lines and lines on it, which really looked unusual.
Du Heng introduced: "This piece of meat is not edible outside, Xuanyu, you cut it off and let everyone taste it. Of course, the first piece is for Xiaoxiao."
Xuan Yu raised the knife and fell, the fist-sized brittle bone was divided into six pieces, of which the outermost piece was the largest.Xuanyu picked it up and handed it to Xiaoxiao, who took the piece of meat with squinted eyes.
He only heard the crunchy sound coming from his mouth, and he shook his wings with a smile and let out a laugh.
Feng Gui's eyes were warmed by that slapstick sample, he rubbed and smiled, then walked over and squeezed a piece to taste: "It doesn't look very good, but the taste is surprisingly crisp."
Du Heng is very good at stewed meat, he prefers white cut, but this time he added some soy sauce to the pot when stewing the yam head.The marinated pork head is brownish red in color, which looks better than the usual white-cut pork head.
Xuan Yu pinched a piece of crispy bone and stuffed it into Du Heng's mouth, Du Heng smashed it: "I haven't tasted this taste for many years."
The stewed shan yao tou was very successful, and even this crispy bone was tasty.The five-spice crispy bone breaks apart with a slight bite in the mouth. This kind of taste is not only liked by children, but even Du Heng likes it.
Wen Qiong and the others didn't feel satisfied after sharing the crispy bone, so Xuanyu tore off the other side of the palate.
Everyone felt unsatisfied: "Why is Shan Gao not up to snuff? Can't the mouth grow bigger?"
The mountain ointment in the basin has its eyes closed, if there is knowledge in its spring, the coffin board may not be able to hold it down.
While the pig's head was still hot, Xuanyu grabbed the protruding gums from the pig's nostrils, and he grabbed the nostrils with the other hand, and with both hands, half of the pig's face was torn off.There are only a few tendons between the pork and the bones. A little force can tear the tendons off the bones, and a few holes will appear on the bones.
The eyes of pigs are deeply sunken in the eye sockets, and there is a lot of meat sticking around the eye sockets.Xuanyu put down the bones, he took a small knife and turned it around the eye sockets to cut off the tendons sticking to the bones.Then, with some force in his hand, half of the pig's face was removed by him. There was still some edible food on the bone in his hand, and there was a brittle bone in the nasal cavity.
After Xuanyu pulled out the brittle bones and a few pieces of meat attached inside, the bones became smooth.At this time, the pig's head can only be used to feed dogs.And the only dog in the family, Little Wonton, was very calm. Even if Jing Nan handed the bone to Little Wonton, Little Wonton just looked up at him.
Jing Nan: "Puppy, are you eating bones?"
Little Wonton: ...
Du Heng was a little strange: "Dogs usually like to chew on bones, why don't our wontons like to chew on bones? Does it mean that they don't like to eat without meat?"
Little Wonton shook her tail at Du Heng, raised her two white eyebrows above her eyes, and looked very simple and honest.
Du Heng bent down and touched the little wonton's head: "Our wonton doesn't like to eat bones without meat, how about stewing pork ribs for you next time?"
The tail of the little wonton was shaken by the wind, Jing Nan put the pig bone in the trash can: "Cut, it's useless to keep you, you don't even want to eat the bones, why don't you go to heaven?"
Du Heng scratched the puppy's chin: "Don't bully it, it's still young."
Jing Nan said quietly: "You just protect it, sooner or later you will regret it."
A pot full of meat was stripped from a pig's head, not counting the two big ears and thick tongue.Shan Gao may be able to speak human, its tongue is larger than that of ordinary pigs, and it looks like a cow tongue.
Cut the pork tongue and pig ears into slices and put them on the plate while they were still hot. Everyone rushed over and tasted a few slices each.
There are crisp bones in the pig ears, and a layer of skin is wrapped on both sides of the crisp bones.After marinating, the pig's ear has no smell at all, and it tastes crunchy.
The taste of pork tongue is firmer than that of meat, and the meat is firm and chewy when you bite into it.The salty marinade has entered the tongue, and the aftertaste is endless after eating it empty-handed. If it is dipped in Du Heng's special dipping sauce, it will be really delicious.
Xuanyu cut half a pig's tongue and half a pig's ear, and put a full plate.In addition, there is pork cheek, which is different from what it looks like. Many people think that the pork is full of fat. In fact, it is just the opposite. There is more lean meat than fat on the pig's head.
Xuanyu cut a piece of meat near the pig's nostrils. The brown-red meat was cut into thick slices. When it was hot, it was soft and glutinous, but when it cooled a little, it had a crispy feeling.The meat near the neck is thicker, and the fat behind one finger is slightly transparent, followed by flexible lean meat.
Wen Qiong carefully tasted the different parts of the pig's head, and she was amazed: "I never knew that the taste of the pig's head is so good. Every part tastes different. This is delicious!"
Xiaoxiao ate so much that her mouth was full of oil, and she couldn't stop mouthful after mouthful.Hearing what Wen Qiong said, Xiaoxiao also nodded: "Jiujiu!"
Xiaoxiao not only eats by himself, he also takes good care of his little brothers.Du Heng saw him stealthily throwing the pig's head meat under the table, and Xiao wonton and Nian Nian Sui Sui were waiting under the table.Everyone didn't stop him when they saw it, but thought he was very cute.
Du Heng said with a smile: "There are still several mountain pastes and Kui Niu's head in the refrigerator. If you like it, I will pack it up when I have time."
Du Heng felt that the sheep's heads, pig's heads, and ox's heads in his refrigerator were all eaten up, and winter was coming.
Feng Gui put his hands in his hands and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I'm leaving tomorrow. Du Heng, after you finish it, leave me a few, and I'll send someone back to pick it up. By the way, I wanted to ask just now, Shan Gao head Where is the brain inside? Why is there no brain?"
Ever since Fenggui ate the brains of the black beast last time, he fell in love with the dense and smooth taste of the brains.When he ate chicken and duck in the past few days, he would bite open the skull and suck out the brains inside.
He used to disdain to eat this kind of food, but now, he feels that as long as there are enough ingredients, he can eat it as a meal.
Du Heng smiled and said, "I asked Xuanyu to put away the brain, and I will put it into the hot pot next time. It tastes very smooth!"
Shan Gao has a very large brain, three times larger than a pig's brain.How enjoyable it would be if such a pig's brain was made into a brain teaser!It's a pity that Du Heng can't eat spicy food, and the brains will end up in Xiaoxiao or Wen Qiong's stomach.
Feng Gui stared straight: "Is it a bully?"
Du Heng looked at Fenggui with a smile: "Why don't you wait for Xuanyu to fry the hot pot base at night, cook it for you first and let you eat it before you go to bed?"
Feng Gui thought for a while: "Well, this is acceptable."
Smiling and rolling his eyes at his uncle with disdain, he robbed himself for something to eat again. Uncle really hates it, so let's leave early.
Du Heng felt that the group of people in the village, when they met for the first time, were all shiny and golden, and their natures were exposed after a long time.One is more childish than the other, and one is more difficult to coax.
But Du Heng thinks that he likes this kind of village and this kind of people. Compared with those who know people and face but don't know their heart, the people around him are like gods.
The author has something to say: Feng Gui: I have fallen to the point of eating pig's head, hey...
Jing Nan: You have eaten large intestines, let alone pig heads?Be content.
When I was young, whenever spring and summer came, there would be pig heads for sale.
