The peace of the Three Realms depends on me [Food]

75. Kung Pao Chicken and Spicy Chicken

The road was slippery in the snow, and Ji Ping'an was worried that Xiaobai would overturn the wheelbarrow, but Xiaobai pushed it steadily and quickly all the way down.Thinking back to the last time I went to Pingqiao Town, Xiaobai's pushcart was still not smooth, and it was only a few days later that he was able to push it so smoothly...

Ji Pingan concluded that he must have been secretly hiding to practice!Although Xiaobai of his family doesn't talk much, he is thoughtful and capable. He is willing to do as long as it can make him worry-free.

Ji Pingan hugged Xiao Huang and followed Xiao Bai's footsteps and walked home step by step, leaving Xiao Huang's happy singing and the two whispering on the mountain road.

As soon as he got home, Xiao Huang yelled to kill the chickens. The three majestic big roosters in the poor basket were frightened by Xiao Huang and shrank their necks and dared not move.

Ji Pingan hugged Xiao Huang, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Xiao Huang, how can you do this, speaking of which, you are still their kind."

Xiao Huang felt offended, he groaned, "Where are we the same kind, Xiaobai and I are the same kind!"

Ji Pingan and Xiao Bai glanced at each other, it seemed that Xiao Huang was not stupid, he actually knew that he was not an ordinary chicken.

Xiaobai said softly: "Although the boundaries between spirit beasts and demon cultivators are somewhat blurred, demon cultivators know their identities."

While talking, Xiaobai lifted the basket, and he put the two chickens in the basket into the chicken coop.If they get along well with the chickens at home, they might be able to brood in Ji Ping'an's house.

As for the remaining one, it will be the three of them and one dog for dinner.The chicken in the basket stretched its neck and let out a long cry as if it had foreseen its impending death.

Xiaobai is now able to kill chickens and fish very well. He went to the kitchen to get a knife and mixed it with salt water, and then went outside the courtyard.After a while, I heard two cock crows from Guolinzi. It seemed that the poor chicken had ascended to heaven.

When he was busy, Ji Pingan and Xiao Huang were not idle either.Xiao Huang didn't forget to roast the yams while boiling the water, and Ji Pingan took out the red peppers at home and started cutting them into pieces as long as the tip of his little finger.

When the water boiled, more than half of Shau Kei's red hot pepper segments appeared in front of Ji Ping'an.At this time, I lifted the Shau Kei and shook it slightly, and the white chili seeds fell from the cracks of the Shau Kei, and piled up on the table in a shallow layer.

Xiaobai entered the door with a large bowl of red chicken blood. He looked at the place where chili skewers were hung under the eaves of the corridor. The last bunch of chili skewers had disappeared.He was a little surprised: "Is it gone?"

Ji Pingan carefully put away the chili seeds, he said with a smile, "Yes, I have already eaten all the chili seeds at home. In previous years, my family could not finish all the chili peppers, but I didn't expect that this year it would not be enough."

Xiao Huang immediately became worried: "What should I do? Ping An, there is no chili to eat."

Ji Ping'an was happy: "Don't worry, you won't be hungry!"

People in the countryside are not bad for chili peppers. If you want to eat them in the future, you can go to Pingqiao Town to buy them, or you can ask He Lang for some.

As long as the next spring is warm and the flowers bloom, new pepper seedlings can be planted.Next year, he plans to open up a field around the fish pond to grow chili peppers, and chili peppers will be indispensable on his family's dining table in the future.

Xiaobai poured boiling water into the wooden barrel: "I'm going to shed my hair, just call me if you need anything."

Ji Pingan smiled: "Yes!"

Xiao Huang hurriedly turned out from behind the stove: "I want to see it! Xiao Bai wait for me!"

Almost out of the kitchen door, Xiao Huang still did not forget to take care of Ping An: "Ping An, Ping An, help me look after the potatoes, call me when they are ripe!"

Ji Pingan smiled: "Okay."

He was as curious as Xiao Huang when he was a child. Every time his grandfather slaughtered chickens and ducks, he would follow behind his old man.Every time he saw chickens and ducks being disemboweled, his eyes widened curiously.

Seeing Xiao Huang, Ji Pingan thought of his former self.He thought grandma looked at him when he was young with the same mood back then, right?

Ji Pingan soaked the chili slices in warm water to wash off the dust on them. He washed them three times in a row before he cleaned off the chili seeds mixed in the chili slices.

The color of the washed peppers changed from dark red to orange, and a pungent smell wafted out of Shau Kei.

At this time, the peppers could not be used directly, so Ji Pingan had to boil the peppers for a while.He didn't want to waste these peppers, so he wanted to make them into chili crisps and sandwich them in the spicy chicken.

In winter, the mud stove in his house has not been extinguished.After cooking the peppers on the tandoor, he removed the bag of peanuts that he had at home.After picking up the bag, Ji Pingan felt that there were a lot less peanuts in the bag, and it seemed that the bag of peanuts had been taken care of by Xiao Huang.

Ji Pingan shook his head with a smile, it seems that next year he will grow some peanuts.Fortunately, he likes to stockpile food. If he changed to a family with less favorable conditions, he might not be able to support Xiao Huang.

Peanuts are indispensable for today's two dishes, and Xiaobai and Xiaohuang both love peanuts. After thinking for a while, he scooped two bowls of peanuts in the pot.

The iron pot on the clay stove boiled quickly, and the chili segments dyed the clear water red.At this time, the peppers had turned a nice orange-red color, Ji Pingan picked them up from the pot and put them in the Shau Kei.

Just as he was controlling the water for the pepper, he heard Xiao Huang's cry from outside: "Ping An—Ping An, come and see! There are birds!"

What's so good about a bird?There are various kinds of birds living in the mountains near Qingshui Bay. Ji Pingan can often see colorful birds landing in front of his chicken coop to steal food.

Xiao Huang's exclamation sounded again: "Ping An, hurry up—you won't be able to see it if you come late!"

Ji Pingan felt that if he didn't go out to take a look at this bird, Xiao Huang could make trouble with him all night.So he put down the shauke in his hand and walked out of the courtyard. Following the sound, he walked into the fruit forest.

Xiao Huang looked up at the top of the persimmon tree and said to Ji Pingan: "Look, look!"

Ji Pingan looked up, and he only saw an orange-red figure flashing above the treetops.With a clear bird song, the bird on the treetop spread its wings and soared into the sky. Only then did Ji Pingan see the whole picture of the bird clearly.

This was probably the most beautiful bird Ji Pingan had ever seen. It had a slender neck and long, flowing tail feathers.When it flies past, its whole body seems to be glowing.

It's just that the way the bird looked at Ji Pingan made him feel that it was not an ordinary bird. How should I put it, with a hasty glance, Ji Pingan saw the mockery in its eyes.

Xiao Huang offered a treasure: "Isn't it beautiful?!"

Ji Pingan nodded: "Yes, thanks to our Xiao Huang, I can see such a beautiful bird. Thank you Xiao Huang!"

Xiao Huang chuckled, and then a finger-sized round black lacquered thing floated in front of him, which looked like some kind of fruit.But as a fruit, it was too round, which reminded Ji Pingan of the sesame candy balls made at home.

Xiao Huang said tremblingly: "The little bird gave it to me, give it!"

Ji Pingan thought for a moment, it seems that he was right.That bird was probably Xiao Huang's acquaintance. Seeing Xiao Huang in his home, he thought he was in danger and came to see him, and even left something for him...

He smiled and rubbed Xiao Huang's head: "Thank you, Xiao Huang, for your kindness! You have to keep what the bird gave you, otherwise the bird will be sad."

Xiao Huang shook his head regretfully: "Okay~"

Ji Pingan looked around: "Where's Xiaobai?" Why didn't he see Xiaobai?

Xiao Huang pointed to the river: "Xiao Huang is killing chickens by the river!"

Ji Pingan smiled and said, "Don't you want to watch him kill chickens?"

Xiao Huang shook his wings, and he stuffed the ball under his wings: "Yes~ I saw the little bird and ran away with the little bird, I will continue!"

Seeing Xiao Huang happily walking towards the river, Ji Pingan was worried for a moment.He remembered that Xiaobai said that he and Xiaohuang had a bad relationship before and kept fighting.

If what the bird left for Xiao Huang is useful to Xiao Huang, Xiao Huang will become even more powerful than now, right?It's good that Xiao Huang has become stronger, but I hope he won't fight Xiao Bai after he recovers.

After a while, Xiao Bai came back with a bamboo basket dripping with water, and there was a cleaned chicken lying in the bamboo basket.Seeing Ji Pingan standing on the road thinking, Xiao Bai said softly, "It's packed."

Ji Pingan said hesitantly: "A bird was given to Xiao Huang..."

Xiaobai said softly: "I know, it's okay."

On the day Wolf Shisan found out about his stay in Clear Water Bay, Xiao Huang's identity could not be concealed.If Wolf Thirteen could find it here, those of the Yu Clan would of course also be able to find Leng Changtian.

Perhaps Leng Changtian would kill him after recovering his memory, but he still chose to let him live.Leng Changtian, who has lost his memory, is just Xiao Huang from Ping An's family. What did Xiao Huang do wrong?He is just a happy and innocent little yellow chicken.

If one day he regained his memory, the two of them would fight to the death, and Xiao Bai would admit it.

Ji Pingan breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled and said, "That's good. Let's go home and cook."

He didn't know what kind of people Xiaobai and Xiaohuang were like in the past, as long as they were still in his home, they were his family.

After packing up the chicken, the sky gradually darkened.The lights in the house are also on, so let's talk about the lights in Ji Ping'an's house.

In the past, Ji Ping'an used soybean lamps at home. As long as soybean oil was added to the lamp, the wick could absorb the soybean oil and burn brightly.When soybean oil burns, it emits black smoke, and the smell is not very pleasant.

He also has a few candles at home, which burn much less smoke and are brighter.It's just that candles are more expensive than oil, and Ji Pingan only keeps a few for emergencies.

However, after Mr. Xia and the others remodeled, balls appeared on the roof beams.I heard from Xiaobai that this is a barrier controlled by aura. As long as the sun is out, the barrier will absorb the aura of heaven and earth.When in use, just dial the button on the wall, and the enchantment will light up.

This is much easier to use than the previous bean lamps and candles. The enchantment is clean and bright, and you can move it according to your will without making the house dark.

Every time he saw the enchantment, Ji Ping'an would lament the brilliance of his cultivation methods.

Xiao Huang sat beside the table and began to peel the potato skin happily. He looked at the chicken on the chopping board with bright eyes.This is really a fat chicken!Chopped off the neck and feet, it's a ball!

Ji Pingan looked at the chubby chicken and said, "I've never seen such a big chicken!"

Xiao Bai held the kitchen knife: "Should I cut it into pieces like before?"

Ji Pingan pointed to the two chicken legs: "The meat on these two legs can be used to make Kung Pao chicken, and the rest can be chopped into such large pieces." He circled his thumb and index finger, and the two A not-so-round circle appeared between the fingers.

Xiaobai understood at a glance. With only two knives, the two fat and tender chicken legs were removed from the chicken.Ji Pingan weighed these two legs, good guy, these two legs probably weigh two or three catties!

Ji Pingan said: "Can you remove the bone of the chicken, and then cut the chicken into such big cubes?" Ji Pingan gestured to Xiaobai with his thumb: "It's so big!"

Isn't this a trivial matter?

Just when Xiaobai was about to move the knife, Ji Pingan suggested: "You can leave a little meat on the bone, and you can mix it into the chicken nuggets later."

The meat with bones is delicious, and the fried bones are also quite chewy. Both Xiao Huang and Huzi should like this kind of bones.

Xiaobai looked at Xiaohuang: "OK."

After a while, the two chicken legs turned into a big bowl of diced chicken with skin under his knife, and the rest of the chicken also turned into chicken nuggets of similar size and were placed in a basket.

76. Kung Pao Chicken and Spicy Chicken

Both diced chicken and chicken nuggets need to be marinated in advance to remove the fishy smell, but the marinating method is slightly different.

Ji Pingan put the diced chicken in a large bowl. He added half a spoonful of salt, sugar, and pepper to the diced meat, and then shook a spoonful of soy sauce, cooking wine, sweet potato flour and oil.

After stirring evenly, the diced chicken was dyed the color of sauce, and Ji Pingan put the big bowl aside: "Okay, it's enough to marinate a cup of tea like this."

Xiaobai said with emotion: "Every time I see you marinate things in Ping An, I feel that you use different seasonings." It's too complicated, and he always forgets what seasonings to use for each dish.

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "It's actually very simple, just put what you want based on your feeling."

Xiaobai thought carefully for a moment: It seems that Ping An is not suitable for Danxiu.

If alchemy is as casual as cooking, Ji Ping'an's way of alchemy as he pleases, I'm afraid it will fry the oven every day.

Ji Pingan soon began to put seasonings in the chicken nugget basin according to his feeling. He put the three brothers who had gone fishy in the wooden basin, and shook a little five-spice powder in it.Especially salt, Ji Pingan added a little more than usual.

In addition, he also cracked an egg and three tablespoons of sweet potato flour into it. After adding a little cooking oil and stirring well, the Kung Pao Chicken and Spicy Chicken can be made.

He poured half a pot of soybean oil into the pot. Fortunately, Xiaobai went to Taohuadong today, so he was able to pump oil in the oil workshop in Taohuadong.Otherwise, the two dishes tonight will die due to insufficient oil at home.

Xiaobai sat down behind the stove skillfully, and Ji Pingan said softly, "Fry the peanuts first, and the fire should not be too high."

Xiaobai lifted the fire fork and pressed the branch in the stove, the flame on the branch became smaller at a speed visible to the naked eye: "Okay."

Ji Pingan poured two large bowls of peanuts into the clear oil, so that the peanuts could be fried slowly as the oil temperature increased.If the fire is too big and you throw it in, if you don't handle it properly, the peanuts will become mushy.

The peanuts in the soybean oil sank obediently to the bottom, and they need to be fried for a while before they come out of the pan.Taking advantage of this time, Ji Pingan put the chilli segments that were set aside to control the water in the wooden basin.

Seeing Ji Pingan adding five-spice powder, glutinous rice flour, sesame seeds, sweet potato flour and sesame seeds to the wooden basin, Xiao Bai wondered, "Do you want to marinate the peppers too?"

Ji Pingan stirred the chili segments in the wooden basin, and the orange-red chili segments were soon covered with a thick white paste.The loose chili peppers were sticky together in the pot, and many chili peppers were stuffed with mush.

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "I'm going to make a season-style spicy chicken today. When I was a child, I ate my grandma's. I think you will like it."

Xiaobai and Xiaohuang immediately began to express their loyalty: "Everything made by Ping An is delicious!"

Ji Pingan grinned happily: "You will know after you try it out."

The peanuts in the pot were soon fried. At this time, the peanuts in the pot made a slight beeping sound, and the oil in the pot also bubbled slightly.Ji Pingan scooped up the peanuts and put them on a large plate aside. The freshly cooked peanuts squeaked and sang, and occasionally one or two who couldn't stand the loneliness would burst open their coats to reveal the slightest hints of their insides. Yellow kernels.

The fried peanuts were oily, and Ji Pingan brought the plate to the table.The freshly fried peanuts were hot and soft, and the taste was not very good. Ji Pingan was not worried about Xiao Huang stealing them.

After the peanuts are fried, it's time for the chilli.While the oil in the pot was warm enough, he carefully sprinkled the sticky peppers in the pot into the pot.This is a very skillful movement. If the speed is slow, the peppers in the back will be mushy before the peppers in the front are fried.The speed is fast, and the peppers are sticky and sticky together and cannot be fried through.

As soon as the battered peppers were put into the pot, the quiet oily noodles suddenly became lively.Fine golden bubbles appeared on the surface of the oil, and after a while, a layer of red and white pepper floated on it.

The layer of paste wrapped on the surface of the pepper has been turned into a thin crisp shell after high temperature. Some of them hang on the surface of the pepper, some get stuck in the middle of the pepper, and some stick to the neighbors next door.

The aroma of fried chili hits the face, which is even more fragrant than Ji Pingan's oil-splashed chili.Xiao Huang suddenly felt that the sweet potato in his hand was no longer fragrant. He put down the sweet potato and stretched his neck to look at the iron pot: "It's safe, it smells so good."

Ji Pingan smiled: "Yes, chili crisps are not too spicy, you can eat chili crisps together with spicy chicken."

Xiaobai was full of admiration: "Ping An, I don't think there is anything that cannot be blown up in your hands."

Ji Pingan smiled and said: "It's okay, I think that as long as it can be imported, it can be handled in this way."

The peppers in the pot have been fried thoroughly during the conversation, and the crispy shell on the top has turned golden brown.Some peppers that have not reached the crisp shell are already crispy.Ji Pingan took out all the hot peppers from the pot and put them in the Shau Kei again.

Most of the Shau Kei’s chili section exploded into a whole Shau Kei’s chili. It can only be said that the Gorgon juice wrapped on it made a great contribution.The fried chili oil was fragrant and fragrant. Before the temperature dropped, Xiao Huang couldn't help it: "Let me take a bite, just one bite!"

Ji Pingan used a small bowl to fill half a bowl of chili crisps for him: "Don't burn it."

The treatment that Xiao Huang has, Xiao Bai naturally will not be less.Ji Pingan put half a bowl of chili crisps on the side of the stove: "Would you like to try the taste, Xiaobai?"

Xiao Bai casually squeezed a grain and threw it into his mouth, chewing lightly on the chili and the crispy shell on it shattered between his teeth.The mellow aroma of the oily chili spreads from the tongue, and the crispy shell is salty and crispy, which makes Xiaobai have an illusion: what he eats is not the oily chili, but some kind of meat.

The taste of chili crisp is not the same as that of oil chili. Oil chili has an obvious spicy taste, while chili crisp has only a slight spicy taste.It's more crispy than spicy.

After chewing a few chili crisps, you will feel the dense spiciness in your mouth.The spicy flavor is divided into two routes, one route goes straight to the forehead along the mouth, and the other route slides along the esophagus into the lungs.

Xiao Huang smacked his mouth happily: "Ah, it's so delicious!" He can eat three big bowls of this oily chili!

Xiaobai tasted the chili crisps: "The crispy flavor is delicious, spicy and salty, better than the chili at noon." He only took one bite of the spicy chicken at noon, and it can be said that Ji Pingan's cooking is much better than the one at noon!

Ji Pingan also pinched a few pieces of chili crisps and chewed them: "When I was young, to coax me to eat chili, grandma would deep-fry chili crisps for me."

Now that Ji Ping'an has someone who is willing to coax him, life is getting better and better.

The ordinary chili crisps have already conquered Xiaobai and Xiaohuang's stomachs, and the following fried chicken cubes and fried chicken nuggets opened their eyes even more.

After taking out the oil and chili peppers, the diced chicken was put into the pot first. Ji Pingan slid the marinated diced chicken into the pot along the side of the pot.After a crackling sound, the chicken in the pot quickly shrank and changed color.

From time to time, Ji Pingan used a strainer to push the diced chicken in the pot. After half a stick of incense, he fished out the diced chicken that had changed color and put it aside to filter the oil.At this time, the diced chicken is already cooked. Although it does not have the effect of being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it has a tender and smooth taste. It must be used to make Kung Pao Chicken!

Chicken cubes are fried for a short time, while chicken nuggets are fried for a long time.Ji Pingan's chicken nuggets, which had been shaken off the ginger, slid into the pot along the side of the pot, and with the sound of the fat bursting, the chicken nuggets in the wooden basin quickly entered the pot.

Under low heat and slow frying, the color of the chicken nuggets gradually changed, and the tempting aroma of fried chicken became stronger and stronger.Xiao Huang is particularly satisfied with his chicken nuggets: "There's a lot of meat on it, and it looks delicious."

Ji Pingan smiled, Xiao Huang's resentment is really great, it seems that he really didn't eat well at noon: "Yes, Xiao Huang can open his belly to eat today!"

After the chicken nuggets were fried until golden, Ji Pingan scooped up all the chicken nuggets and put them in the Shau Kei beside him.The current stove and the side of the sink look very spectacular. I saw a large bowl with a shauke for filtering oil. On the shauke, there are chili crisps, diced chicken, and fried chicken nuggets.

The large stove is almost out of place, it seems that the spicy chicken tonight is a tough dish!

At this time, Ji Pingan said to Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, the fire can be a little bigger."

It is best to fry the chicken nuggets again, so that it tastes crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.Ji Ping'an was most afraid of eating that kind of spicy chicken that was too sticky to bite!

Xiao Bai responded, and he poked the fire fork, and the flame in the stove became much bigger.Ji Pingan took the opportunity to remove some residues floating in the pot. After frying the oily peppers, the oil in the pot was no longer as clear as before, and looked slightly reddened.

After the oil is hot enough, he puts the chicken pieces in the pan again for deep frying.The color of the chicken nuggets became darker, and the smell of the meat became better.

The re-frying time is much shorter than the initial frying time. When they make a slight collision sound when they touch, the chicken nuggets are considered to be fried.Ji Pingan scooped up all the chicken pieces quickly: "Xiaobai, can you help me pour the oil in the pot into the jar? Just leave a little base oil."

Xiao Bai stood up from behind the stove, and he brought out an oil jar from the cupboard, which was specially used to store the fat of fried things.Ji Ping'an lives a meticulous life and cannot tolerate any waste.Besides, the oil tastes better after frying the meat, and it tastes very delicious when used to stir-fry vegetables.

Xiaobai placed the jar next to the stove, lightly tapped the side of the pot with his fingers, and the fat in the pot was sucked into the jar by the invisible aura.Seeing that there was only a shallow layer of oil left on the bottom of the pot, Xiao Bai stopped his movements: "Is it all right?"

Ji Pingan nodded again and again: "It's ok!"

It's just that there is a little residue in the base oil, which is dark and not very good-looking.Xiaobai lit the oil pan again, and saw that the residues in the pan flew up and left the pan, leaving behind a clear bottom oil, which made people feel comfortable.

Ji Pingan was shocked by this move: "Xiaobai, when I practice in the future, please teach me this trick!"

It would be best to teach him the kind of magic that can do the housework well by snapping his fingers. If he learns this trick, how much trouble he can save!

The author has something to say:

I was so sad yesterday, thank you guys for your comfort.No matter how difficult life is, you still have to stand up and move forward, the old cat will work hard!

Speaking of which, in order to write these two dishes, I ordered takeaway.As a result, guess what?

Two takeaways worth more than [-] yuan, the peanuts in the Kung Pao Chicken are soft, and the chicken tastes like killing the salt seller, and it doesn’t cost money to put salt.

The chicken in the spicy chicken died miserably!It was so fried that I couldn't even bite.I shook the packing box, and there was only one-fifth of the chicken, and the remaining four-fifths were peppers and peppercorns.

Both dishes arrived cold in my hand!

Ahhhhh!Fortunately, the old cat has eaten delicious spicy chicken and kung pao chicken, so he was not fooled by them!

Unscrupulous takeaway shop, return my expectations!
