After the rabbit meat was chopped, Mrs. Ye began to prepare the dish.
Because there is a lot of rabbit meat and she was worried that the children could not eat spicy food, she planned to cook it in two ways.
One is braised rabbit meat, and the other is spicy stir-fried rabbit meat.
Ever since she met Mr. Cen, Mrs. Ye has never been short of seasonings for cooking. No matter whether they are easy to buy on the market or not, every time Mr. Cen buys for himself, he will buy an extra portion for Mrs. Ye.
This time, Meng Yu brought a large box of various spices and seasonings, including several sauces made by Mr. Cen himself.
Meng Yu helped to light the fire, and Mrs. Ye first fried sugar color in one of the pots.
After melting the rock sugar in the pot over low heat, Mrs. Ye kept stirring the syrup in the pot with a spatula, paying close attention to the changes in color.
When the color turns into a burnt brown, he quickly pours a pot of chopped rabbit meat into it, and then stir-fries it quickly.
The caramel is evenly coated on the surface of the rabbit meat, giving the originally pink and white rabbit meat a bright color.
After stir-frying evenly, Mrs. Ye added rice wine and soy sauce to the pot, stir-fried them evenly, poured in a pot of boiling water, covered the pot and let it simmer slowly.
The other pot of rabbit meat had already been marinated with seasonings and flour.
Mrs. Ye poured oil into the pan and lightly fried the rabbit meat, but not too dry. She quickly took it out and set it aside to drain the oil.
Next, pour out most of the oil in the pot, leaving only a small portion, and add the pickled peppers, ginger, garlic, peppercorns, etc. that Mr. Cen sent and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the red oil bean paste made by Mr. Cen himself and stir-fry until the fragrance overflows.
Although the red oil bean paste made by Mr. Cen himself is not the authentic Pixian bean paste in Sichuan and Chongqing, it has its own unique flavor.
When these seasonings are put into the pot and stimulated by the hot oil, the fragrance and spiciness burst out instantly.
Not only did it fill the kitchen, but a lot of it also came out through the chimney, and most of the people in the village could smell it.
"Ahem, who's cooking smell is that? It's too pungent."
“It’s a bit pungent, but it seems quite fragrant!”
"What's that smell? It makes me hungry."
Meng Yu had been with Mr. Cen for more than ten years and had long been accustomed to spicy food.
Although it smells a bit pungent, I still feel intoxicated by it.
He could even imagine the delicious and tender taste of the rabbit meat after it came out of the pot, and he licked his lips quickly to prevent his saliva from flowing out and embarrassing him.
"My mouth is watering before the rabbit meat even comes out of the pot.
"This would be amazing if paired with a little wine."
Meng Yu's words reminded Mrs. Ye that the good wine the family had bought in Tianjin had been almost finished during the Chinese New Year.
Mrs. Ye quickly poured the fried rabbit meat into the pot, stir-fried it for a few times, added water and brought it to a boil. She then pulled a few pieces of firewood from the stove, lowered the fire a bit, and said, "Keep an eye on the fire for me. I'll be back in a bit."
Meng Yu thought that Sister Ye was going to the bathroom and was too embarrassed to say it directly, so he didn't ask, and quickly took the fire tongs from her hand and said, "Mrs. You, go and do your thing.
"Although I can't cook, watching the fire is definitely not a problem for me."
"Remember to turn it over every once in a while, be careful not to burn the bottom." After giving the instructions, Mrs. Ye took off her apron, went back to the house to get some money, and went straight to the grocery store.
Who knew that as soon as he went out, he ran into Ye Qinggang, who looked haggard. He sneezed and couldn't help asking, "Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you cook at home? This is the first time I've smelled it."
"Well, we had some guests over, so I made some rabbit.
“People bring their own seasonings, and I’m just responsible for stir-frying them.
"Oops, sorry, did you choke me?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Although it's choking, it smells pretty good." Ye Qinggang said embarrassedly.
In fact, he had been thinking that if he asked, maybe Mrs. Ye would be kind enough to serve him a bowl!
It’s not that he is greedy, but the main reason is that the family has been eating noodles every day these two days. The elderly and he can still hold on, but the children are tired of it.
But when Ye Dasao said that there were guests at home, Ye Qinggang still didn't have the courage to ask for it.
After dealing with Ye Qinggang, Mrs. Ye met several villagers in succession, all of whom asked what delicious food she had prepared at home.
So the grocery store, which could have been reached in a short time, ended up taking several times longer.
In the grocery store, Wang Jindou and his wife were both there, each sitting on a small stool with a chair in the middle serving as a table, slurping noodles head to head!
Hearing footsteps, Wang Jindou quickly stood up, swallowed the noodles in his mouth with all his strength, and without even looking up, greeted out of habit: "Come on, I have all kinds of seasonings at home, what do you want to buy?"
He thought that people who suddenly came to buy things at noon might have run out of seasonings while cooking, so the first thing he did was to recommend seasonings.
But when his wife Yan looked up and saw that it was Sister Ye, she immediately stood up and greeted her warmly: "Oh, who was I at that time? It turned out to be Sister Ye. What do you want to buy? Come in and take a look. I will give it to you at the original price."
"Look at what you said, it's the right amount.
"Now that you say that, how can I even afford to buy anything?"
Yan immediately said, "Sister-in-law, if it weren't for your family, my husband would have lost his life..."
"Stop it!" Sister Ye interrupted Yan, "Brother Jin Dou gave my family a piglet, and you also came to visit us during the Chinese New Year with gifts.
"Didn't we already agree that this matter is over? If you keep doing this, I'm leaving!"
