Chapter 333 Pickled Sour Bamboo Shoots
Just do it. After Li Heng made up his mind, he immediately took out a pile of fresh bamboo shoots and started peeling them on the spot.
"We're here to help, too."
Except for Lu Xiaoxiao, who was still washing dishes, everyone else squatted beside Li Heng consciously and started beating him.
"Stab it~prick it~"
Soon, the sound of people peeling bamboo shoots could be heard outside the gate.
In addition to the outermost hard shell that needs to be peeled off, the inner layer of bamboo shoots also needs to be removed.
Because the bamboo shoots are too thin, they are generally not used as raw materials for pickled sour bamboo shoots, otherwise it will affect the taste of the final product.
Pickling pickled bamboo shoots is a time-consuming process, and it takes about five to ten days to see the effect.
Li Heng naturally didn't want to wait for such a long time. He couldn't wait to make the snail noodles tonight.
Fortunately, when he went out, he didn't forget to take the big vat with the formation engraved on it.
The Chaos Clock Formation can speed up the flow of time by up to ten times, which means that if he starts marinating now, it will be ready tomorrow at the earliest.
Li Heng counted the time while peeling bamboo shoots. Before he knew it, he had peeled a basket full of bamboo shoots.
"That's almost enough. You don't need to peel it anymore."
After weighing the bamboo basket, Li Heng stopped what he was doing, patted off the debris stuck to his clothes, and said to the other friends who were helping.
Li Heng was not willing to throw away the stripped bamboo shoots.
Before peeling it off, he specifically asked everyone to collect this thing together.
Although it cannot be used to make sour bamboo shoots, it is still no problem to use it to make a few dishes.
Like what, cold bamboo shoots with bamboo shoots, shredded chicken with bamboo shoots, stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat...
Li Heng thought about it casually, and many different ways of eating bamboo shoots appeared in his mind.
So he simply decided that they would be his dinner today.
"Brother Li Heng, can't you eat this bamboo shoot shell?"
Xiao Chi saw that Li Heng had collected a large pile of bamboo shoot shells, and pointed to another pile of brown bamboo shoot shells and asked.
"Just take these and throw them away. Even pandas won't eat the bamboo shoot shells."
While Li Heng ordered Xiao Chi to clean up the temporary kitchen, he was also handling the peeled bamboo shoots.
First, cut the whole bamboo shoots into large pieces.
Be careful to store the younger stems separately from the slightly older roots.
As for how Li Heng distinguishes the boundaries between tender and not tender, it naturally relies on his years of experience in eating bamboo shoots.
The reason why it is so troublesome is that the bamboo shoots need to be boiled in water in the next step.
Bamboo shoots from two different parts have different boiling times, so they need to be distinguished.
The purpose of boiling water is to remove part of the bitter taste of bamboo shoots and increase its taste.
Boil a pot of water over high heat, add the roots of the bamboo shoots first, and blanch them for a while.
Then add the tips of the bamboo shoots and cook for another ten breaths before taking them out and controlling the water.
Next, you need to prepare a clean basin that has not been stained with oil, and pour the bamboo shoots into it.
After it cools naturally, add an appropriate amount of salt and stir thoroughly.
Prepare a clean, oil-free jar and add the pickled bamboo shoots.
Boil another pot of hot water, let it cool, then add a little salt to make brine.
Then pour the salt water into the jar containing bamboo shoots. The salt water must be flush with the mouth of the jar.
This will ensure that other impurities will not be mixed during the pickling process, thus affecting the taste of the sour bamboo shoots.
After all this is done, the jar can be sealed and placed in a large vat.
Two days later, open the lid of the jar again, add a few drops of white wine into the jar, and convert it to the time outside the jar, that is, two to three hours later.
After handling the bamboo shoots, Li Heng took the time to make some sweet potato flour from sweet potatoes. He had made some potato flour before.
Li Heng didn't know which kind of vermicelli was more suitable for making snail noodles, so he just tried them all.
By the time he finished making sweet potato vermicelli, it was already evening.
After finally preparing to sit down and rest for a while, the two little ones immediately came over.
"Brother Li Heng, it's time to make dinner!"
"What? Are you hungry now?"
"I've been working all afternoon, and I'm not as hungry as you two! Can't you let me take a break?"
Li Heng poked the heads of the two little ones and said angrily.
"Then how about I make fried eggs and fried rice for everyone for dinner?"
The carefree Lu Xiaoxiao would occasionally feel sorry for her brother Li Heng.
But today, in addition to feeling sorry for her brother, she also wanted to show off her cooking skills as the senior sister of Little Chef Feng in front of the two new members.
"That's a good idea. It's settled. Xiaoxiao, you go ahead and fry the rice first. I'll fry three more dishes later, and dinner is ready."
Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to show off his skills, so Li Heng naturally wouldn't stop him.
There happened to be some leftover food, which was originally prepared for the disciples of the Miaoyin Sect, but they didn't come out at all, so this was just leftover.
If it had been normal, there would never have been so much food left.
"Yo! I didn't expect you, a little one, to know how to cook!"
When the goblin heard that Lu Xiaoxiao was going to cook, he became interested and jumped on her shoulders, ready to watch her cooking process.
It has seen the big spicy sticks used as weapons by Lu Xiaoxiao. It is said that those things are the snacks she made.
"Senior Brother Dan, is my little senior sister's cooking skills trustworthy?"
Tian Xiu seemed to have some doubts about Lu Xiaoxiao's strength. After all, in his opinion, Lu Xiaoxiao was not much older than his sister Tian Niu.
Children of the same age are probably still playing with mud on the floor. Where can there be such a small kitchen repairman?
He had always thought that Lu Xiaoxiao's claim to be senior sister was mostly a joke, but he didn't expect that she actually planned to cook today.
Tian Xiu was even a little worried whether Lu Xiaoxiao could hold such a heavy iron pot.
"You're looking down on people, aren't you! Let me tell you, our little senior sister, among other things, at least is unmatched by other apprentices in her skill at egg fried rice."
Danning looked at Tian Xiu's expression and knew what he was thinking.
"real or fake?"
Tian Xiu was doubtful, then turned to look at Su Lingxuan and Jiang Xueer.
"There's nothing wrong with that. We've all eaten the little egg fried rice."
The two women nodded in affirmation.
"It feels incredible, right?"
"Come on, come on, I have nothing to do anyway, why don't you listen to us tell you about the glorious deeds of my little senior sister."
Dan Ning pulled Tian Xiu to sit next to him, preparing to tell him about Lu Xiaoxiao's past cheating on his father.
"Speaking of little senior sister's egg fried rice, there is one person who cannot be avoided, and that is our senior sister's father, senior Lu Xuan..."
Next, Tan Ning and the others told Tian Xiu in detail how Lu Xiaoxiao used dark cooking to poison his father.
"Um, is the senior named Lu Xuan okay now?"
This was the question that Tian Xiu was most curious about after listening to the story. At the same time, he also sighed in his heart, this Lu Xuan is really a great father!
"Well, brother Tian, there's no need to worry. Senior Lu's cultivation level is as high as the sky. A few bowls of egg fried rice won't be able to defeat him."
After recalling that interesting episode, Dan Ning was filled with tears.
I once remembered that these apprentices were chased by Lu Xiaoxiao and fed egg fried rice several times. Fortunately, the boss Lu Xuan stood in front of them.
If it weren't for Senior Lu's selfless dedication, they probably wouldn't be able to eat the delicious egg fried rice made by Lu Xiaoxiao.
Li Heng rested on the recliner for a while, drank a cup of tea, and finally planned to get up and make dinner.
