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

84. Fried meatballs

In autumn, wild shepherd's purse pops up in the fields.After a winter of warming, they have grown very large.The shepherd's purses that grew up against the wind and snow are not as bright as in spring. They are gray and unremarkable when they stick to the ground.

The shepherd's purse at this time is not as tender as spring ones, but when mixed in the stuffing, the flavor of wild vegetables is particularly strong.Ji Pingan likes wild vegetables in winter. He bent down and used a small sickle to dig out palm-sized shepherd's purse.

After leaving the earth, the leaves of the shepherd's purse bent towards the earth, falling into the basket like gray-green balls.

Ji Pingan liked digging wild vegetables very much. When he was a child, he didn't understand why his grandparents would carry baskets on their backs to the mountains and fields to harvest these inconspicuous little things when the time came.

Now he also understands the fun of digging wild vegetables: things that grow naturally can be harvested with a little time.Not to mention saving energy, the process of finding wild vegetables is relaxing, and every bit of discovery is joy.

Shepherd's purse, wild onion, gray vegetable, bracken... Grandpa and grandma can always find the freshest and tenderest of them at the right time, and they will be delicious after a little cooking.

Now he is also following in the footsteps of his elders to search for fresh seasons all over the mountains and plains, and he is also happy for the unexpected harvest.

In Ji Pingan's bamboo basket, a small half basket of unattractive wild shepherd's purses soon appeared, just as he was digging hard with his head depressed.He saw a pair of old cotton shoes in front of him.He didn't even need to look up to know who it was, he found this pair of cotton shoes for Xiao Huang.

Xiao Huang is eating, and he has already eaten all the yams at home.In the past two days, he has found something more interesting to eat, which is fragrant sand taro.Regardless of whether it is a small taro or a taro mother, just throw a few in the stove, pull it out when the time is up, peel the skin, and then dip some paste chili, it will be supremely delicious.

In front of Ji Ping'an, several warm and fragrant taro seeds appeared, and Xiao Huang's mouth was full of taro paste.He said vaguely: "Do you want to eat taro?"

Ji Pingan smiled and said, "You can keep the taro and eat it yourself. If you like it, next year we will grow some by the fish pond."

Xiao Huang chuckled, squatting beside Ji Ping'an: "Okay."

Ji Pingan smiled and shook his head, Xiao Huang asked: "What's the matter?"

Ji Pingan said: "It's really a bit reluctant for you to chop meat."

Xiao Huang's patience is far worse than Xiao Bai's. It is no problem to ask him to eat dozens of catties of melon seeds, but he is definitely not happy to ask him to chop dozens of catties of meat.Let's chop it slowly after he goes back. Anyway, there are still a few days before the Chinese New Year, so there is plenty of time.

Little Huang plausibly said: "I didn't ask him to do something, he asked for it himself." Why not do it if you can be lazy?

Ji Pingan buried his head and continued digging wild vegetables, while Xiao Huang followed behind him, sporadically sprinkling some taro skins along the road.Seeing Ji Pingan concentrating on digging wild vegetables, Xiao Huang couldn't help it: "Ping An, aren't you curious at all?"

Ji Pingan asked, "Huh? What are you curious about?"

Xiao Huang pointed in the direction of the house: "Don't you want to know what Xiao Bai is talking to Wolf Shisan?"

Ji Pingan smiled: "What's so curious about this, everyone has a little secret."

Xiao Huang was thoughtful: "Even if that person is Xiao Bai, aren't you curious?"

Ji Pingan picked wild vegetables unhurriedly: "Everyone has curiosity, and it would be a lie to say that they are not curious. But I think trust and respect are more important than asking the truth. Xiaobai is willing to tell me, sooner or later Tell me. If he doesn’t want me to know, I’ll just make him unhappy even if I keep asking.”

Xiao Huang was stunned for a moment, and after a while he said, "Ping An, it's very kind of you."

As demon emperors, Leng Changtian and Wumo often encounter people who approach them for various purposes, and they are tired of watching false plays.

This is the first time they have met someone who treats them well without purpose. Whether they are Xiao Huang Xiaobai or the Demon Emperor, in Ji Ping'an's eyes, they are his important people and people worthy of trust and respect.

This feeling is very good, at this moment Xiao Huang finally understands why Xiao Bai would rather stay at the risk of being killed by himself.Ji Ping'an deserves their sincere treatment, and it is a kind of luck for them to meet such a person.

Xiao Huang threw the last taro in his hand into his mouth, and he said to Ji Ping'an, "Ping'an, let me dig wild vegetables for you." Give arch.

Ji Pingan stood up with a smile: "That's enough, I just need some wild vegetables to taste. If you like it after eating, I'll make fried spring rolls for you in a few days."

Xiao Huang repeatedly nodded: "Yes, good!"

He knows that spring rolls are delicious, and Ji Pingan's spring rolls must be delicious!

After digging the wild vegetables, it's time to pick the greens.Each of the green vegetables grown in Ping An's family is like a flower, and each one weighs one or two catties. This kind of short-legged green vegetables is perfect for making stuffing.

The leaves of green vegetables in winter are thick and tender, and they make a crisp sound when pinched lightly.Xiao Huang squatted in the vegetable field and picked up a bunch of green vegetables with great interest. After a while, he picked up a big basket of green vegetables.

Ji Pingan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Enough is enough, not so much!"

Xiao Huang said seriously: "Yes, Wolf Shisan will be eating at home today. Cook more vegetables for him, and he will eat less meat."

Ji Pingan: ...

Xiao Huang is really a family-friendly chicken.

As soon as Ji Ping'an entered the yard, he heard the sound of chopping meat evenly from the kitchen.He thought it was because Xiaobai was not used to Xiaohuang chopping meat by himself, but when he walked into the kitchen, he saw Wolf Shisan was chopping meat without complaint.

Ji Pingan:! ! !

He turned his head to look at Xiao Huang with a relaxed face, and then at Xiao Bai who was lying on the table with his hands in his hands and squinting his eyes.How dare these two have the nerve to let customers chop meat!

Ji Pingan quickly put down the things in his hands: "Mr. Wolf, how can I trouble you to do it? Let me do it!"

Wolf Thirteen smiled all over his face: "This is what it should be. I still want to bother you at your house for a few days, and I still want to eat the meals you cook. Please let me help with things, otherwise I will feel bad."

Now that everything has been said, how can Ji Pingan refuse.He looked at the meat that Wolf Thirteen had chopped up. As expected of a demon cultivator, the meat he chopped was really good.The meat needed to make meatballs should be between meat granules and meat paste, and the meat in front of you is just right.

It can be said that this is much better than Ji Pingan's own chopping!

The pink and white meat paste is piled up in a large basin, which looks very spectacular.Once the meat filling is in place, the rest of the process is quick.

Ji Pingan added chopped green onion and ginger white wine to the stuffing, which was used to remove the fishy smell and enhance the aroma.

In addition to these three things, the minced meat should also be seasoned with an appropriate amount of salt, some sugar for freshness, a few spoonfuls of pepper for flavor, and half a bowl of soy sauce for color.A few eggs are needed to make the mashed meat tender, and half a bowl of sweet potato flour to make the taste soft and tender.

When Ji Pingan put these seasonings on the minced meat in the pot, it felt like a pink and white hill with colorful covers.Red, green, white and black, the colors are particularly rich.

Xiao Huang took a deep breath and began to fart: "It looks delicious! Ping'an is amazing!"

Wolf Thirteen stood beside him with a terrified expression. The Emperor Yu was taken away by some strange thing, right?Everyone in the world knew that Emperor Yu Leng Changtian was a picky and fussy person, and if he wanted to hear a word of praise from him, the sun came out from the west.

Ji Pingan laughed and said, "It hasn't been fried yet, so I don't know if it tastes good."

Xiaobai opened his eyes: "It must be good."

Wolf Thirteen: ...

He hammered his head. Is he crazy, or are the two demon emperors crazy?If the world knows that two people who beat you to death when they meet are sitting in a kitchen and flattering a mortal, everyone will go crazy if word spreads.

Ji Pingan didn't know anything about Wolf Thirteen's psychological activities, he was trying to cheer himself up.

The meat for making meatballs needs to be whipped repeatedly to make the meat sticky so that the fried meatballs will not loosen.In previous years, Ji Ping'an's arms were sore even if he cooked five or six catties of meat.With twenty catties of meat this year, he is already prepared that he will not be able to lift his arms tonight.

Just when Ji Ping'an rolled up his sleeves and was about to stir the minced meat, Xiao Bai changed from a little white cat with his hands in his hands to a tall and tall man.He said to Ji Pingan in a gentle voice, "I'll do it."

Ji Pingan said softly: "You haven't recovered yet, so let me do it."

Xiao Huang put his hands in his hands and gave Lang Shisan a cool look, and Lang Shisan saw a threat in his eyes.His whole body trembled, and then he stood up tremblingly: "Let me come! Mr. Ji, I have great strength!"

Ji Ping'an was a little moved, Wolf Thirteen was so enthusiastic.He didn't come into contact with many demon cultivators, but all he met were good people!

Wolf Thirteen is worthy of being a subordinate of the Demon Emperor, and he is too reliable in his work.Ji Pingan looked at the minced meat that was stirred in the wooden basin. The minced meat could not smell the fishy smell of meat, only the smell of various seasonings.

Ji Pingan gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Wolf is too powerful!"

Wolf Thirteen wiped the sweat from his brow: "Where is it? It's too serious." His master is already very scary, but there is Yuhuang standing next to him, God knows how scared he is.He was afraid that he would burn him if he didn't do a good job as Emperor Yu!

His admiration for Ji Pingan has increased to a new level. This kind of courage cannot be found in the entire demon world.

Ji Pingan poured most of the oil into the pot, and he asked Xiao Bai with a smile, "Can your body handle it?"

Xiaobai sat neatly behind the stove: "No problem."

Wolf Shisan watched his master skillfully adding firewood to make a fire. He felt that his Tianling Gai had been hammered heavily by an invisible hammer, and his soul turned into a screaming villain and flew out of the Purple Mansion.

As the temperature of the oil gradually rose, Ji Pingan held a lump of meat with his left hand, and saw that he squeezed lightly, and a meat ball the size of an apricot appeared on the tiger's mouth.He carefully scooped the meat ball from the tiger's mouth with a spoon, and then rolled the meat ball into the pot along the edge of the pot.

The oil in the pot suddenly boiled, and large strands of oil sprayed out from the bottom of the pot, and the bluish-white oily smoke was quickly sucked out of the house by the formation.Ji Pingan squeezed four times in a row, and soon a smell of fried meat wafted out of the pot, luring Xiao Huang to circle around the stove.

Xiao Huang asked impatiently: "Are you ready? Ping An, why don't you do more?"

Ji Pingan smiled and said: "Don't worry, first make a few small samples to taste the taste, if there is any problem, you can remedy it in time, if there is no problem, you can formally explode it."

Xiao Huang understood, after all, such a big pot of meat, wouldn't it be troublesome if the seasoning was not good?

After half a stick of incense, the oil flowers in the pot gradually became smaller. At this time, when I scooped them up with a sieve, four round golden meatballs appeared on the sieve.

The meatballs exuding the aroma of meat are so fragrant, Xiao Huang feels that this taste is even more fragrant than the fried chicken last time!Even though he just ate a lot of taro, his greedy worm crawled out of his stomach: "It smells so good!"

Ji Pingan put the meatballs on a side plate, and when the meatballs cooled down, he picked up the meatballs in the bowl and distributed them to the people in the kitchen: "See if it tastes good?"

Wolf Shisan held golden meatballs with chopsticks, and the meatballs were so cute.After frying, the meatballs are slightly smaller in size and look more rounded.Although there are many meatballs inside, the surface of the balls is quite smooth.

Smell the aroma of the meat, bite lightly, the outer layer of meat has been crispy, but the inner meat still maintains a soft texture.The mellow gravy bursts in the mouth, salty and delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the taste is solid and satisfying!

Wolf Thirteen was so moved that he almost cried—this is the taste of happiness!

The author has something to say:

Whenever it comes to the Chinese New Year, the family will fry meatballs and steam Chinese New Year steamed buns. The meatballs will be made in a big pot, and the steamed buns will be red.At the end of the year, every household in the village smells of meat and steamed buns.

Now the taste of the new year is getting weaker and weaker, and there is no expectation for the new year, and the new year has become a festival that wastes people, money, and heart.

I don't like Chinese New Year more and more, I don't like regular meeting-style treats between relatives, and I don't like being pointed at.

Parents used to say: Children look forward to the New Year, adults are afraid of the New Year.I think children nowadays are not looking forward to the New Year, because the usual living conditions are good, and they no longer look forward to new clothes.

But I still feel very lucky, I am lucky to live in a good time, and every day is as rich as Chinese New Year!
