Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 106 The Charm of Pepper

Mei Huanzhang's injuries have all healed, and the poison in his body has been completely eliminated.Xiao Yilin also fully recovered.So Jing Yi is going to use chili peppers to make some spicy dishes today, so that everyone can appreciate the charm of chili peppers.

Jing Yi planted a lot of small peppers, and because of a little use of the wood-type ability, the small peppers are already red at this time.Jingyi tasted it was spicy enough.

Jing Yi has always felt that her abilities are a bit mutated, so she experimented with chili peppers in order to study her abilities.

In the spring, she took the pepper seeds to the mountains, used the woody ability to cross the peppers with other plants, and then really bred a variety that was different from the small peppers.This variety bears larger fruit, like the big peppers.Although not as spicy as the chili pepper, the taste is very good.

Jing Yi used supernatural powers to give birth to some seedlings, and then brought them home and planted them in the third courtyard beside the new courtyard, and they are growing very well now.So Jingyi is going to make some dishes with two kinds of peppers for everyone to try today.

Jing Yi said last time that she wanted to make pickled fish for Lin Xiuhan, but she never fulfilled it, but this time there is black fish again, so she has to cook the pickled fish well.

Jing Yi asked Qiao Hong to clean up the black fish scraper, and then she personally sliced ​​the black fish meat into moderately sized and thick fish fillets, cut the fish fillets into sections, and then added pepper, egg white, and white wine to the fish fillets, fish heads, and fish fillets respectively. , salt, sugar mix well and marinate for a quarter of an hour.

The sauerkraut at home is pickled by Jing Yi herself, and she has eaten it many times, and it is very good.Jing Yi squeezed out the water from the sauerkraut and cut it into shreds.There are also various fungi collected from the mountains at home, and Jing Yi also cut some of them.

Slice the green onions prepared in advance, slice the ginger, and mince the garlic.Heat up the pan, pour in an appropriate amount of oil, add scallions, ginger slices, minced garlic, and bean paste and fry until fragrant, then add chopped shredded sauerkraut and stir well.Pour enough boiling water into the pot. After the water boils, pour in the fish head and fish fillets, cook for about a quarter of an hour, and then add the cut mushrooms.

Then put the marinated fish fillets into the pot one by one, spread them out with chopsticks after putting them in, cook until all the fish fillets change color, add a little salt and pepper, stir evenly and then take out of the pot.

Jing Yi added some oil to the pot, then added Chinese prickly ash, chili, etc. to fry some chili oil, and directly poured the fried chili oil on the pickled fish, so that the aroma was more overbearing, and the smell of chili oil was everywhere in the yard .

Finally, sprinkle some coriander on top of the fish with pickled cabbage poured in chili oil to complete the dish.

Sauerkraut Yujingyi is served in a small white round porcelain basin.There are tender white fish slices, yellow-green sauerkraut shreds, and white and brown mushrooms in the golden soup.It's also peppered with red and green crushed peppers, and topped with a pinch of emerald green cilantro.Just looking at it like this is very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

Coupled with this domineering fragrance, people's appetite will be whetted before they taste the taste.

It was the first time for Qiao Yan to watch her young master make this fish with pickled vegetables, and it was also the first time to see her cooking with chili peppers.

Qiao Yan swallowed her saliva and said, "My lord, I didn't expect this chili to be so fragrant after being fried in oil. This pickled fish looks delicious."

Qiao Hong, who was sitting in front of the stove and helping to light the fire, was also swallowed by the scent.

Jing Yi smiled and said, "Didn't I share several shares, and you have one too, you can try it later."

Jing Yi was afraid that other people would not be able to get used to the taste of the chili for the first time, so she didn't put much chili, and the taste was not very spicy.

Qiao Yan knew how to make fish balls, so Jing Yi handed it over to Qiao Yan to make this dish.However, others have never made rice eels, so Jing Yi made braised rice eels by herself.There are also garlic spareribs and a dessert that Jing Yi personally made.

Jing Yi and Qiao Yan cooked a large table of dishes together.

Jing Yi, who had a lot of dishes and ingredients, made more and distributed them to the guards who came with Xiao Yilin.Jing Yi was afraid that they would not have enough to eat, so she asked Qiao Yan to cook some more dishes for them.

The food was served in the main hall, accompanied by Mei Huanzhang and Jing Yi.It's not the first time Lin Xiuhan has eaten at the same table with Xiao Yilin, besides, there are not so many rules in Jingyi's house.Both Lin Xiuhan and Xiao Yilin went as they please.

Except for Jing Yi, the other three looked at the unfamiliar dishes on the table and waited for Jing Yi to introduce them.

Jing Yi said with a smile: "Today I have prepared enough ingredients, and bought some freshwater fish from the villagers, so I made some new dishes today."

Jing Yi pointed to the sauerkraut fish and said, "This is pickled cabbage fish. It is made of black fish fillets, supplemented with sauerkraut, mushroom seeds, peppers and other ingredients. Brother Xiao, you brought me this pepper last year. I will pick it up this year. Planted some, and now it’s ready to eat.”

Xiao Yilin didn't expect that the little girl he brought had been planted and could still be eaten, "Then I have to taste it."

Xiao Yilin has the highest status here, and everyone is waiting for him to move their chopsticks.

Xiao Yilin picked up a piece of tender white fish and put it into his mouth. The fish had no thorns, the meat was fresh and tender, and had no fishy smell. It also had a sour and a more pungent taste.He knew that this was the taste of chili that the little girl said.

The fish is dipped in the soup, and the umami taste of the fish mixed with various flavors such as sour and spicy forms a unique flavor, which tastes very refreshing.

Xiao Yilin looked at Jing Yi with sparkling eyes, "Jing Yan, this dish you created is really delicious."

Jing Yi said: "Try the sauerkraut and mushrooms in the soup again. Uncle, Brother Lin, you should try it too."

Xiao Yilin was afraid that everyone would be restrained because of his status, and said: "Everyone, don't be restrained, we don't have to care about so many rules here at Jingyan, just feel free."

Xiao Yilin also ate shredded sauerkraut and mushrooms. Because the shredded sauerkraut was boiled in the soup, it was mixed with the umami flavor of fish and chili, so it was sour and fragrant, and the mushrooms were also very delicious.This dish is truly delicious to the extreme.

Xiao Yilin thought that if this dish could be served in the restaurant, the restaurant's business would definitely be more prosperous.

Mei Huanzhang and Lin Xiuhan also tasted the pickled fish, and Lin Xiuhan immediately gave a thumbs up, "Jing Yan, this dish is absolutely amazing. I didn't expect this chili to be so special, it's absolutely amazing."

Jing Yi picked up a piece of braised eel with chopsticks for uncle, "Uncle, you can try this braised eel. It is made of rice field eel. The meat, blood, head, and skin of rice field eel have medicinal value. It can nourish blood." , invigorating qi, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying, and eliminating rheumatism, etc. Rice field eel meat is sweet and warm in nature, has the effects of nourishing the middle and blood, and curing deficiency. It is very nourishing for the body, so you should eat more.

Brother Xiao, you should also eat more, this is a rare good thing. "

Mei Huanzhang said with a smile: "I have only lived here for a long time, and now I have gained a lot of weight. It seems that I have to control my food intake in the future. I don't want to become a big fat man when I get old."

Everyone laughed when they heard the words.

Lin Xiuhan said: "Old Mr. Mei is right. The food cooked by Jingyan is irresistible. After eating, I want to eat more. I eat too much before I know it."
