After the genius was abolished, he became my Taoist companion

59. Stir-Fried Tiger Liver

The fuel Ye Huan used to return home was not bloodthirsty vines, but all kinds of firewood he could get.After all, bloodthirsty vines are rare items, and they cost money to buy.

Most of Ye Huangui's household items are dead branches picked up from the mountains, or straws from various crops.He carefully bundled these firewood into one-foot-long handles, and when in use, just ignite them and stuff them into the stove.

What he recently burned were pine branches picked up from the mountains. Pine trees are rich in pine oil, which is particularly easy to burn.When it is burning, there will still be a strong pine scent, even though Ye Huangui installed a formation on the stove that can draw the oily smoke out of the house, this pine scent still wafts faintly from the stove.

Tan Duzhi likes to smell this smell, and he also likes to watch the flames burn.Every time there was a fire in the hearth, he would get closer to the hearth.

Ye Huangui's stove is different from the stove on the puppet car. In order to save space, the stove on the puppet car uses bloodthirsty vines, and the stove hole is also opened in the front.But Ye Huangui's stove bore was at the back, and Tan Duzhi had to turn to the back of the stove if he wanted to see the fire.

He has learned how to make a fire!Whenever he saw that the flame inside the stove was about to go out, he would quickly pick up a straw handle and stuff it into the stove.Ye Huangui didn't stop him either. In his opinion, Lao Tan had to find something to do to be more comfortable.

Seeing Tan Duzhi reappear behind the stove, Ye Huangui smiled and said, "Old Tan, don't make too much fire at first."

Tan Duzhi responded: "Yes, good." He had already discovered the pattern, and if he wanted the fire to burn well, he needed to lower the firewood a little.If you want the fire to be smaller, you need to use a fire stick to slightly suppress the flame.

There was a little more oil in the pot than usual for cooking, and before the oil smoked, Ye Huangui slid the tiger liver into the oil pot along the side of the pot.

The tiger liver instantly turned from red to gray when it encountered hot oil, and after a few flips, the original color completely faded away.Ye Huangui hastily fished out the tiger liver from the pot and put it on a large plate aside: "Old Tan, it's time to start a big fire!"

Tan Duzhi responded, and he picked up the fire stick and poked the stove's bore.The bright yellow firelight imprinted on his face, and he looked particularly relaxed.

Ye Huangui took out some of the oil in the pot and only left some bottom oil. When the oil temperature in the pot rose again, he poured the garlic sprouts from the Shau Kei into the pot.

coming!Tan Duzhi likes watching Ye Huangui stir-fry all kinds of vegetables the most!

A puff of green smoke evaporated from the pot, and the green smoke was quickly sucked outside the house under the action of the formation.Ye Huangui held a spatula in his hand and quickly stir-fried the dishes. He only heard the brief collision of the spatula and the iron pan, and the heated garlic sprouts sizzled.

This voice is more soothing than the singer's voice!

After stir-frying for a few times, Ye Huangui put the tiger liver in the big plate into the pot again, and he cooked it with a little cooking wine.Maybe the flame at the bottom of the pot was too hot. As soon as the cooking wine was put into the pot, a bright yellow flame burst out from the pot.

Ye Huangui was not afraid at all, he skillfully added the sauce that had been seasoned before to the pot.As soon as the gorgon juice was put into the pot, the flame went out with a whiff!

After a few stir-fries, the fire went out, and the stir-fried tiger liver was completed.

Ye Huangui greeted Tan Duzhi: "Old Tan! Alright!"

Tan Duzhi looked at the handful of firewood he had just stuffed into the bottom of the pot: ...

Ye Huangui smiled: "Leave it alone, it's okay! I'm going to marinate the tendon meat later, you let it burn first." While talking, Ye Huangui added more than half of the pot of water to the pot.

A plate of dishes that Tan Duzhi had never seen or eaten appeared on the dining table. The irregular triangle-shaped tiger liver was slightly curled, and the brown-red Gorgon sauce was slightly flowing on the gray-brown surface.The garlic sprouts dotted between the liver slices are green and the ginger shreds are bright yellow.

Zhaocai and Jinbao were circling the dining table again, Ye Huangui smiled: "Be quiet, isn't it enough to eat so much in the afternoon?!"

Hearing Ye Huangui reprimand him, Zhaocai immediately squatted in the corner and made a fuss, while Jinbao said 'hit me if you have the ability' all over his face.Ye Huangui already knew the temperament and character of the little animals in his family very well, but the more he knew him, the more he sighed: "Hey."

Tan Duzhi picked up his chopsticks and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Huangui put a spoon in the custard bowl: "Speaking of which, both Zhaocai and Jinbao were brought up by me, why are their temperaments completely different? Zhaocai is very honest, while Jinbao is very disobedient."

When he heard Ye Huangui say that he was disobedient, Jinbao lay down on the ground aggrieved.Ye Huangui hurriedly changed his words: "Okay, okay, I won't scold you anymore."

Jin Bao still drooped his head and felt aggrieved, Ye Huangui couldn't bear it anymore, he put down his chopsticks and coaxed: "Okay, darling Yuanbao, I was wrong, let's not talk about you, okay!"

Tan Duzhi said faintly: "I think, I probably understand the reason for Jinbao's bad temper." With Ye Huangui's unprincipled pampering, it's only a problem for Jinbao to have a good temper.

Ye Huangui finally coaxed Jinbao at the price of two pieces of pork liver. After sitting down, he sighed: "I don't know why, every time I see Jinbao, I feel that I should treat it well. Look at it, but Lovely, how endearing."

Tan Duzhi answered: "Yes, even two or three nicknames have been prepared for it. There is only one big name for Zhaocai."

There are many nicknames for Jinbao, such as Yuanbao, Baobao... The contrast is really too strong.

While chatting gossip, the two ate together.Ye Huangui first took a chopstick of tiger liver and put it in Tan Duzhi's bowl: "Do you want to taste it quickly? I have never eaten tiger liver."

Tan Duzhi picked up a piece of tiger liver and stuffed it into his mouth. The soft and tender taste made him addicted immediately.The tiger liver wrapped in the sauce is neither fishy nor firewood nor dry nor hard. It tastes full of the unique softness and fatness of the liver.The slightly sweet sauce not only removes the fishy smell of the viscera itself, but also makes the viscera taste fresh and sweet.

Even though he knew what he was eating, Tan Duzhi had to say: "It's delicious. I never thought that liver tastes like this."

Someone once invited him to have a meal in Bumuxian, and there was a dish of eight-treasure liver on it. The taste of the liver was very hard, and it was said to be chewy, but it still smelled fishy after chewing carefully.Ye Huangui's stir-fried liver did not have this problem at all, and Tan Duzhi couldn't think of suitable words to describe the deliciousness of this dish.

It is said that it melts in the mouth, but it still feels a little bit worse.Even though it is such a soft thing, it has such a strong sense of existence after entering it.

The freshly bolted garlic sprouts are the icing on the cake. After the slightly spicy garlic sprouts are stir-fried, the spiciness turns into a sweet taste, which is crisp and refreshing in the mouth.Tan Duzhi couldn't help eating a few more mouthfuls: "It's my first time eating garlic sprouts, it's very good."

It obviously tastes like garlic meat, but it tastes completely different from garlic meat.Tan Duzhi didn't dislike the smell of garlic, and he didn't like it too much, but the garlic sprouts were unusually to his liking.This fried liver is salty with a little sweetness, and it tastes very good with rice.

Old Tan is not picky about food, and even ate the shredded ginger in it.

Ye Huangui prefers steamed eggs, and he likes to sprinkle a thick layer of green onion on the egg custard.The chopped green onion has turned from green to light yellow after steaming, and the fragrance of the chopped green onion has completely penetrated into the custard.Scoop up a large spoonful of custard and put it on the rice, stir it with chopsticks, and put it into your mouth with a snort, which is very comfortable.

Ye Huangui said: "After I get rid of the green vegetables, I plan to grow peppers in those two plots. I found out that you like to eat peppers. When the peppers grow, how about I make you something spicy?"

Tan Duzhi smiled and said, "Okay. You have the final say."

After dinner, Ye Huangui mixed all the remaining soup and water and fed them to Zhaocai and Jinbao.He has a severe headache, and the little animals at home don't like to eat his special food, but they like to eat the same food as him, which is good.

Tan Duzhi comforted him: "It's okay, Zhaocaijinbao is not an ordinary cat or dog at first glance. You can feed them whatever they want to eat. They may stop eating when they get tired of eating."

When Ye Huangui thought that he had been away from home for more than a month, and he could only go to the mountains to catch voles to make money, his heart softened again.He squatted next to the food bowls of cats and dogs, touching this one and then that one distressedly. After touching for a while, he suddenly found something, then he lowered his head and pulled the hairs on the necks of the two small animals: "Huh?!"

Seeing him standing up suddenly to close the kitchen door, Tan Duzhi was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"

After closing the door, Ye Huangui said quietly, "It's time to give them a bath."

As soon as the voice fell, there was only a loud noise, and the two Zhaocaijinbao went under the cupboard and jumped over the cupboard. The movement and speed were so shocking that Tan Duzhi didn't know what to say.

Ye Huangui knew this would happen a long time ago, and he was not in a hurry.After washing the pots and bowls in a slow manner, he boiled a whole pot of boiling water in the big pot. After the water boiled, he took out a slightly smaller wooden barrel.

A whole pot of boiling water was poured into the wooden barrel to steam a huge mist, and the formation in the kitchen worked hard to expel the water vapor outside the kitchen.

Cold sweat dripped from Tan Duzhi's head: "Are you going to bathe them...or burn them?"

Ye Huangui poured water into the barrel and said, "Of course it's a bath!"

After filling most of the bucket of water, the water in the barrel was lukewarm.Ye Huangui took out a small bottle from the storage bag, he uncorked the bottle and poured a few drops of liquid into the water.The blue liquid quickly dissipated in the water, and a cool mint smell came.

Tan Duzhi sniffed it: "What kind of spiritual liquid is this?"

Ye Huangui said: "For Uncle Fu's deworming medicine, every year in this season, fleas will grow on Zhaocaijinbao's body. Take precautions in advance!"

Tan Duzhi: ...

So just now, Ye Huangui picked up the hair that made money and treasures, did he see fleas?

Ye Huangui knocked on the edge of the barrel: "Fortune, treasure, do you do it yourself, or do you want me to do it?"

Because Zhaocai's body is too big, its head can't get under the cabinet.Ye Huangui walked over and hugged Zhaocai: "Come on!"

A lot of water in the wooden barrel splashed out with a splash, and Zhao Cai was soaked in the water, with his legs resting on the edge of the wooden barrel: "Hey..." It was beeping, while looking at Tan Du with begging eyes Of.

Tan Duzhi sympathized: "Wash it, a dog that doesn't like bathing is not a good dog."

Zhaocai rested his head on the edge of the barrel with gloomy eyes: "Oh..."

Ye Huangui moved a small stool and stood in front of the cabinet. Jin Bao was trying to shrink into the cabinet, but it was too big.Ye Huangui stretched out his hand and grabbed the hair on the back of its neck: "Hiding for what? If you hide again, I'll beat you!"

Jin Bao pitifully said, "Oh..."

Ye Huangui pushed Jinbao into the water: "Oh, it's useless! Who wants a dirty kitten or dog! Of course, people will like it only if it is clean and fragrant!"

Tan Duzhi looked at Ye Huangui, who was washing and brushing Zhaocaijinbao next to the barrel, and he suddenly remembered being served by him with a loofah on the puppet car.

Tan Zhenren looked serious: Ye Huangui's action of rubbing Zhaocai Jinbao's hair is exactly the same as the action of rubbing mud for him?

60. All the belongings

Tan Duzhi finally understood why Zhaocai Jinbao didn't like to take a bath. Ye Huangui rubbed them up and down three times, and then forced them to make a cup of tea in the water before they could get up.After the two small animals crawled out of the water, their legs were unsteady.

After this operation, at least half an hour has passed!It's not over yet, Ye Huangui took out a towel and wiped the water on the two small animals carefully. When the water was almost dry, he took up the spiritual energy in his hand and cast a spell: "Dry it!"

Tan Duzhi didn't want to make complaints about it, it was clearly the Canghuo Pendant, an unsuccessful fire spell!

Zhaocaijinbao's fur was fluffed up twice, it looked shiny, it felt fluffy and soft, and it smelled like mint.Ye Huangui loves them so much: "Let me pet them~"

Zhaocai Jinbaosheng just stood there and let the master press his face on them and rub them left and right, what else could he do?The master who raised her with one hand can only be pampered.

After stroking a few handfuls of hair, Ye Huangui felt refreshed, and he took two pieces of red rope out.Tan Duzhi saw that he had dripped two drops of insect repelling liquid on the red rope, and he understood what Ye Huangui was going to do: "You want to tie the rope to Zhaocai Jinbao?"

Ye Huangui responded: "Yes, there are more snakes, insects, rats and ants on the mountain this season. Bring insect repellents, and those things will not dare to approach them to attract wealth and treasure. Tomorrow I will give auspicious ducks and ducks Hang two."

Tan Duzhi smiled lightly and said, "You are so kind to them."

Ye Huangui smiled: "This is what it should be. You have to be responsible for raising them." While talking, he tied the red rope around Zhaocaijinbao's neck. I have given them the operation of tying the rope, and now I am motionless and let Ye Huangui rub it.

After taking a bath for Zhaocai Jinbao, Ye Huangui's bath today was a waste, his clothes were already half wet.If Tan Duzhi's guess is correct, he will go to take a bath again in a while.

But before taking a bath, Ye Huangui still has important things to do.He soaked three or four pieces of tendon meat in the sink in the afternoon, and he could marinate the meat overnight before going to bed.

The skin of tendons that had been soaked for half a day turned slightly white, and Ye Huangui washed them one by one and put them in the pot.

The taste of tiger meat is somewhat different from other meats. In order to completely remove the fishy smell of tiger meat, Ye Huangui added a lot of ginger slices and green onion knots and white wine to remove the fishy smell.At the same time, he also prolonged the blanching time, the spindle-shaped meat shrank after blanching, and the white tendons at both ends became short and poked.

A piece of arm-long tendon shrank by a third after blanching!

Ye Huangui sniffed the blanched tiger tendon meat. He didn't know whether the spirit tiger meat had a sour smell or the tiger meat had been stuffed in the lucky bag for a long time, and the tendon meat had a slightly sour smell: "Well... I thought it could be made for nothing, but it seems that it can only be marinated with heavy ingredients."

Tan Duzhi said: "Is there a problem with the meat?"

Ye Huan handed it to him and smelled it: "Old Tan, sniff, does it have a sour smell?"

Tan Duzhi shook his head after smelling it: "I think it smells like ordinary meat. If I insist, it has a fishy smell."

Ye Huangui said: "I have heard people say that cat meat is sour, but I have never eaten cat meat. I think cats and tigers belong to the same family, and tiger meat may also have a little sour taste. But It's also possible that this is my psychology."

Forget it, he should give up the white cut and change it to stewed sauce!

Ye Huangui took out a small piece of gauze, and he sewed the gauze into a small bag, and then added four star anise, a small piece of cinnamon, and a few fragrant leaves into it.

Tan Duzhi didn't know much about the remaining seasonings. Seeing him looking around curiously, Ye Huangui introduced them to him one by one: "This is Angelica dahurica, just put two slices of this. This is clove, put seven Eight grains are enough; this is licorice to increase the flavor, put five or six slices; this is grass fruit, add two to enhance the flavor; ah, this is fennel, add a pinch to increase the fragrance."

Finally, Ye Huanhui put a dried chili into the gauze bag: "It has a slightly spicy taste, which can cover up some fishy smell."

Tan Duzhi was convinced: "It's hard for you to remember the usage and dosage of so many spices." Tan Duzhi had already discovered that Ye Huangui's recipes were changing every time he made things.

Ye Huangui scratched his head embarrassingly: "Hey, it doesn't matter if you have more or less, as long as you enjoy cooking, you can do it and others will enjoy it."

Previously, Ye Huangui used warm water to wash the blanched tendon meat. When washing the tendon meat, he added half a pot of water to the pot.At this time, the water in the pot was already hot, and Ye Huangui put the tiger tendon meat into the pot along the side of the pot.After the tendon meat was put into the pot, there was more than half of the pot with water and meat, and all the meat was honestly submerged in water.

Ye Huangui took out his small stove, and Tan Duzhi was puzzled: "Are you going to make pancakes?"

Ye Huangui smiled and said, "No, I'll fry it up."

Tan Duzhi didn't understand: "Sugar color?"

Ye Huangui explained: "Sugar color is to melt rock sugar with water or oil and stir fry it slowly. After the sugar changes color, it can be used for dyeing. In fact, soy sauce also has a dyeing effect, but the color of sugar fried with rock sugar is more beautiful. .”

Tan Duzhi nodded, he quietly watched Ye Huangui's operation.Ye Huangui threw a handful of rock sugar into the pot and added a little water.The flame at the bottom of the furnace was burning unhurriedly, the rock sugar in the pot slowly shattered and melted, the sugar water changed from a clear transparent color to a slightly golden yellow color and gradually deepened, and the bubbles in the sugar water also changed from small bubbles to large bubbles .

When the sugar water turns purple, the sugar color is finished.Ye Huangui scooped a large spoonful of soup from the marinated meat pot and quickly poured it into the small pot. There was a crackling sound in the pot, and when the movement stopped, the water in the pot had turned a beautiful reddish brown.

He poured the sugar in the small pot into the pot of stewed meat, and then added white wine, soy sauce, sliced ​​ginger, rock sugar, and two tablespoons of salt into the pot. After these seasonings were fully mixed in the pot, he used chopsticks to Dip in the soup, hmm!Neither salty nor bland!Stew in this way for an hour, and then soak until tomorrow morning, the taste of the stew will fully enter the meat!

When covering the lid, Ye Huangui didn't forget to throw the gauze bag he sewed into the pot along with a handful of green onion knots.He stuffed two pieces of wood with the thickness of a calf into the stove, cleaned up everything around the stove hole, and clapped his hands: "Okay! You can leave it alone! Old Tan, do you want to take a bath?"

Tan Duzhi nodded: "Yes, good." When Jinbao intercepted the fish in the afternoon, the scales of several fish flew on him.

When the two came out of the bathroom, the smell in the kitchen was already very strong.Ye Huangui took a deep breath and closed the door: "It must taste really good tomorrow morning!"

Tan Duzhi thought that Ye Huangui would climb into bed after closing the door, but unexpectedly he was uncharacteristic today.Not only did he not climb into the bed, but he also drew the curtains, and he also brought the bean lamp from the kitchen into the room.

Ye Hugui, with his wet long hair, sat at the round table in the room and took out his small notebook, and he muttered: "940 five taels..."

Speaking of which, he got up and walked around the room to search. He skillfully found a basket from under the bed, a cloth bag from the cabinet, a jar in the corner, and a cloth bag from under the pillow. bag.

Open these jars and jars, and there are silver notes, copper coins and broken silver in them.Ye Huangui unfolded the bank notes one by one: "Five hundred... five hundred and five..."

After ordering the bank notes, he wrote down in his notebook: 550 taels of bank notes.

Then there were silver ingots and broken silver coins, and there were 83 taels in total.

Adding the copper plate, the copper plate is converted into about five taels of silver.

A total of 630 taels of silver, this is Ye Huangui's entire net worth except for the house and small animals.

Seeing that he wrote seriously, Tan Duzhi rolled the wheelchair to Ye Huangui's side: "How far is it?"

Ye Huangui smiled: "It's still three hundred and seven taels short. Oh, you don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it."

Tan Duzhi said: "More than 300 taels, you need to save it for a long time."

Ye Huangui said: "It won't take long. At worst, I'll borrow from Uncle Fu first. You see, after a while, the fruit trees I planted will bear fruit one after another. I didn't sell them in previous years, and we can't finish eating them this year. You can take it to the town to exchange for some change. You can also find some herbs in the mountains, and more importantly, I have a few wild ginseng plants. When they come out in autumn, I can at least pay back 150 taels to Forber..."

There was a tiny light in Tan Duzhi's eyes, and he looked at Ye Huangui seriously.

Ye Huangui is still planning: "If the stewed meat tastes better tomorrow, I can also sell the stewed meat in Baixun Town or Bailu Town. This is Linghu anyway, and the raw beef in the town can be bought for forty cents. It’s a catty, sixty cents a catty of cooked spirit tiger meat is not too much! We will get tired of eating these seven and a half spirit tigers, and I can sell some and get back some money.”

"By the way, I can still work as a handyman in the Beast Master Sect, and I can earn 150 coins a day..."

Tan Duzhi couldn't help but reached out and rubbed Ye Huangui's hair, Ye Huangui looked up suspiciously: "What's wrong, Old Tan?"

A wave of spiritual energy overflowed from Tan Duzhi's hands, and the spiritual energy rolled along Ye Huangui's hair roots to the ends of his hair, and his hair dried up in an instant.

Tan Duzhi said softly, "Thank you."

Ye Huangui stroked his hair, and he said happily: "It's not too late to thank you the day you stand up!" After a pause, he began to mutter: "How many times have I told you, how did you talk to Jin? Bao is disobedient? Don’t waste your spiritual energy! It’s not easy to accumulate a little spiritual energy!”

Tan Duzhi changed the subject: "Are you going to sleep with Qiaoqiao in your arms tonight?"

Ye Huangui was really fooled: "Ah, yes!"

The author has something to say: Ye Huangui: Die, Zhaocaijinbao has fleas on his body.Come!bath!

Fortune-telling: beep...

Ye Huangui grabbed it: "Let's go!"

Jinbao: Aww!

Ye Huangui squeezed it out: Come here!

Ducks and ducks laughed loudly: Angang Angang Goose~

Ducks who bathe every day do not have to worry about fleas!

Auspicious: 哕哕哕哕哕哕~

Ji Xiang, who was able to sit on Ye Huangui to death, said that he loved taking a bath.
