Chapter 32: Spicy Stir-fried Rabbit
Zhou Yuesheng was thinking about something and unconsciously increased the strength of his hands, causing the chopping board to make banging sounds.
The rabbit meat was diced. His mood had adjusted and he returned to his usual silent and reserved self.
Yu Zhile glanced at him and continued cooking.
The steps for stir-fried diced rabbit with spicy sauce are relatively complicated, and the diced rabbit needs to be marinated for twenty minutes in advance. She starts by cooking the fragrant river shrimps.
Heat oil in a pan, pour in small river shrimps and fry until the moisture is dry. When the shell is crispy, add onion, ginger, garlic and chili and stir-fry.
After the aroma overflows, add appropriate amounts of soy sauce, salt and oyster sauce for seasoning, and stir-fry quickly and evenly.
The river shrimps were out of the pot when Chen Zhao happened to enter the kitchen carrying some water spinach.
Yu Zhile boiled water in a pot on a small stove and poured in the amaranth after it boiled.
Not long after, the water spinach changed color. She quickly fished it out and threw it into a large porcelain basin filled with boiled water.
"Why do we need to soak it in water?" Chen Zhao took out the small notebook again.
Yu Zhile covered the top with a bowl to ensure that all the dishes were submerged in water, saying, "Soaking in water removes the pungent taste and makes it taste better."
After five minutes, she squeezed out the water, chopped the lumps into pieces, sprinkled salt and oil, and mixed them well.
Chen Zhao brought a dish to the table with one in each hand.
Yu Zhile's gaze followed his back and finally fell on Zhou Yuesheng.
At this moment, his fingers tapped the table regularly, and his whole body exuded a sense of alienation that kept people at a distance.
The next second, Zhou Yuesheng seemed to sense her gaze and raised his eyes to meet hers.
His eyes were like an unfathomable ancient pool, without a single ripple.
"Sister, I want to learn how to stir-fry diced rabbit with spicy sauce!" Chen Zhao's body blocked his sight.
Yu Zhile pulled the corners of his mouth, relaxed his facial muscles, and joked: "It's impossible to cook successfully just by writing."
Chen Zhao scratched his head and showed his little notebook.
There are only a few words in the palm-sized notebook, and small paintings are neatly arranged.
"I wrote these down to show off to my grandfather. My grandmother loves spicy fried rabbit cubes, so I have to learn it on the spot," Chen Zhao explained.
Yu Zhile didn't expect this to be the reason, and smiled again: "Then I have to teach you seriously."
Chen Zhao put on a look of being ready for battle again.
Heat oil in a pan, fry the diced rabbit until golden brown.
"Don't over-fry in this step." Yu Zhile gave him some tips on judging the oil temperature. "Also pay attention to the oil temperature when frying spices later. Burning the pan will affect the taste of the whole dish."
Next, she will scoop out some oil, add the spices into the remaining oil and fry them until fragrant, pick out the residue with chopsticks, and then add ginger, garlic, peppercorns and a small amount of dried chilies and stir-fry until fragrant.
The last step is to pour in the diced rabbit, season, and stir-fry evenly.
The whole yard is filled with spicy, salty and fragrant aromas.
"No wonder my grandma has been thinking about this." Chen Zhao took a deep breath, and his mouth continued to secrete saliva.
At the dinner table, he was conquered after taking just one bite and started eating with his head down.
The fragrant river shrimps were equally crispy, salty and fragrant, and he ate them with great relish.
The meal was relatively dull and no one stayed in the yard for too long after the meal.
Yu Zhile returned to the house and asked about the operation of Xiaoyun robot butler.
"Host, after verification, the robot butler's interaction rate is normal, its behavior is proper, and its operating status is healthy." Xiaoyun answered quickly.
Yu Zhile breathed a sigh of relief. She felt a little uneasy because she saw that Zhou Yuesheng looked like he was ready to stab someone at any time.
Xiaoyun suggested: "The host can use more verbal comfort, which is very beneficial to the healthy operation of the robot butler."
In the evening, she asked Zhou Yuesheng to smash the snail tails, cut the pickled spring bamboo shoots into shreds, and make a dish of sour bamboo shoots and snail porridge.
The spring bamboo shoots were sour, crispy and refreshing, and the snails were plump and chewy, making Chen Zhao exclaim in delight.
Over the next two days, Yu Zhile quietly observed Zhou Yuesheng and found that he behaved as usual, which made him feel relieved.
On the day of Mrs. Yu’s 60th birthday, Yu Zhile got up early to go to the beach.
The sea breeze blew towards them with water vapor, and the long-lost feeling surprised the audience in the live broadcast room.
Gift special effects were flying all over the big screen.
"Good morning. The tide is low today. I am really looking forward to it." Yu Zhile also felt refreshed by the refreshing sea breeze.
Zhou Yuesheng was used to seeing her talking to herself and was no longer surprised.
The two of them acted separately as they did in the past.
Yu Zhile headed straight for the tide line, where the soft sand was washed away by the tide to form small ridges, exposing many seafood lying on the sand.
As she approached, she saw a large dark green shell half exposed on the beach.
"This is a scallop. It looks big, but only a small part of it can be eaten." Yu Zhile dug out a scallop that was bigger than her palm and drew a small circle on its surface. "It's great with garlic paste or pan-fried."
[Garlic paste can be paired with everything, I want to try it even more. 】
【Support anchors to mass produce garlic sauce. 】
Yu Zhile thought about this comment for a moment, but put it out of his mind after a few seconds because the idea was too difficult to implement.
She walked along the tide line, picking up many different shellfish along the way, storing them all in a small warehouse, leaving only the strips to put into a bamboo basket.
Suddenly, she saw a long trail of crawling. Following the trail, she saw a starfish with its legs twisted into the shape of the word "fire".
"Starfish, alive, steamed or boiled, usually its seeds are eaten." Yu Zhile turned it over and touched its tentacles, which were still squirming.
【pretty! 】
[Why do the foods on the host planet look so good? ]
The colorful starfish attracted many viewers, and they all wished that they could be in the small window today.
Yu Zhile put the starfish in his hand into the bamboo basket and replied, "There are not many now. We will collect more and put them on the shelves later."
After the high tide, seafood boomed.
She had only been walking for half an hour, and in addition to the miscellaneous shellfish in the small warehouse, she had already picked up more than a dozen scallops.
After another ten minutes, the number of starfish in the small warehouse reached double digits.
When he reached the reef area, Yu Zhile discovered a patch of snails.
Hundreds of snails with smooth shells and brown spots are scattered randomly, stacked and wriggling, creating a spectacular scene.
"This is flower snail. The meat is very delicious and can be blanched, stir-fried with hot chili sauce, or baked with salt." Yu Zhile was busy picking snails.
One third was put into a bamboo basket and the rest was thrown into a small warehouse.
[This snail is beautiful and fits in my fish tank! ]
[A new cooking method has emerged. Do you have a chance to see it today? 】
[Can the anchor's mud snails be eaten? 】
"Okay, let's make salt-baked food today."
"It's almost ready. We can eat it in a few days."
After picking up the conchs, Yu Zhile searched among the reefs again. She wanted to pick some abalone to dry them.
Not long after, she really found a nest of abalone in the crevices of the rocks. Each one was extremely lively, with plump and thick flesh.
"Old friend, abalone, I made dumplings with it before, and today I'll dry it." Yu Zhile simply showed the size and put it in his pocket.
She wandered around again and saw a large rock covered with seaweed.
"This is seaweed. It's commonly used to make egg drop soup. It can also be used to fry eggs or make fried rice." Yu Zhile introduced while pulling it, "It can be made into seaweed crumbs and used as a snack."
The tide had been out for a long time, and the seaweed was sticky and would be torn apart with the slightest force, so I had to use some skill.
Yu Zhile gathered the fruits for a long time and only left when the bamboo basket was full.
When the two met up, Zhou Yuesheng's record could be described as dismal compared to her great harvest.
A few scallops and a dozen clams, as well as some pretty but inedible starfish.
"These starfish will definitely be beautiful if made into specimens. The butler was awesome today." Yu Zhile thought of Xiaoyun's suggestion, patted his arm, and spoke like he was coaxing a child.
Zhou Yuesheng was silent for a long time and then hummed.
As soon as I returned to the courtyard, the troublemaker came again.
