Chapter 72 Trying to Eat Rabbit Cold
Not all rabbits were moved to the rabbit house. Xu Congyi specially picked three fat rabbits to stay at home and planned to cook them cold tomorrow. At first, he wanted to cook them on the day of moving the rabbit house, but after a busy day, there were still a lot of leftovers at home. He couldn't bear to waste the food, so he decided to cook them cold tomorrow, which coincided with the idea of Xu's family. People who have experienced hard times cherish every bite of food. They know that food is hard to come by, so how can they be willing to waste even a little bit?
The day before, when Tang Xiaowu came to get popcorn, Xu Congyi had a smile on his face and specifically reminded him: "Xiaowu, when you come today, remember to restore the number of boxes to the previous number."
Today is the fifth day. According to the previous contract, they will have a rest in the next two days. Xu Congyi is looking forward to it. She can relax in these two days. At the same time, she is also a little worried that Tang Xiaowu will forget to tell Tang Wenhao, so she decided to remind him when Tang Xiaowu comes.
Although a large pot of rice was stewed, the remaining egg fried rice might only be enough for five people. If Xu Cong'an had a huge appetite, this amount of egg fried rice would barely be enough for three people. So Li Dahua specially rolled some noodles, which would be very delicious when mixed with broth with minced meat, tofu or chicken. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, sweet potato vermicelli has not been included in the lunch made for the men in the past ten days. Today's egg fried rice was warmly welcomed by everyone, and there were still a lot of stewed chicken pieces left in the pot. After tidying up the rabbit house, Xu Congyi quickly washed the dried sweet potato vermicelli and threw it directly into the pot to soak without hesitation. Soaking the vermicelli in broth can make it fully absorb the flavor and become more delicious.
As expected, no one knows a son better than his mother. Fortunately, Li Dahua rolled a lot of noodles. The two brothers almost ate all the fried rice at the dinner table at night, because they thought that the family had eaten at noon, so the rest was left for the two brothers, and they ate it first. But looking at the only little fried egg left in the bowl, Xu Congyi couldn't help but sigh. The saying that the little boy eats the father down is true. Li Dahua over there couldn't bear to watch either. One of her two sons was extroverted and the other was introverted. One was a hungry wolf who devoured food and the other was a deep and quiet hungry wolf.
The next morning, Hunter Xu and Old Man Xu also went up the mountain again. They would go deeper into the mountains. They had good physical strength, so they could go inside to chop wood and leave the wood outside for women and children. This was already a consensus in Liushuzhuang Village. Before going up the mountain, Hunter Xu slaughtered the two fat rabbits that he had left behind, chopped them into small pieces and put them in the kitchen to soak. He had asked in advance yesterday how big the rabbits should be cut into, so he could start directly after Xu Congyi had breakfast.
Although she went to bed early and got up early here after traveling back in time, it was cold now and the nights were long. Xu Congyi always didn't want to get up. When she first came here, it was probably September, and it was already light at around five in the morning, but now it was light at around six. She couldn't get up, she couldn't get up at all. Fortunately, her family spoiled her, and if she didn't want to get up, they would just keep the food warm in the pot in the kitchen and eat it whenever she was hungry. In fact, Li Dahua and Xu's mother had already mastered the method of making popcorn, but the family was busy repairing the rabbit house some time ago and no one went to chop wood. In addition, except for the first day, the family didn't let Xu Congyi help with the breakfast making process, so they just let her sleep until she woke up naturally. Xu Congyi was considerate of their hard work, so she didn't let them do it for her anymore. Now that the rabbit house was built, she felt relieved and she could stay in bed without any pressure.
Although he was lazy in bed, it was only half past eight when Xu Cong got up and washed up. After doing two rounds of radio gymnastics, he felt relaxed all over.
After finishing her exercises, she took out the reserved breakfast from the pot and ate some of it. After eating, she changed the water for the rabbit meat again. Rabbits have a special fishy smell, so she had to change the water several times to wash away the blood as much as possible. When soaking, she added a little white wine to remove the fishy smell. She didn't plan to eat it at noon, but thought of making it after lunch, so that it would taste better when cooled in the evening.
There were also some hawthorn fruits in the warehouse, which Xu Congyi had picked from the mountain when he had nothing to do. Hawthorns are hard to store and can be stored for a long time in a cool place. She had always wanted to make candied haws, but she was too lazy to do it, so they just stayed there. When Xu Congyi went to the warehouse to get eggplants and potatoes, he saw them and planned to boil some hawthorn water to drink later, which was sour, sweet and appetizing.
After soaking the rabbit meat in blood, Xu Congyi took out the diced rabbit meat and drained the water. Xu Congyi also squeezed it with his hands. He wanted to squeeze out as much water as possible so that it would taste better when fried. Otherwise, the taste would be too floury. Then he put it into a bowl and put onion, ginger, a little white wine and salt to marinate it. It would be better if there was pepper powder. Xu Congyi put a little bit of pepper powder instead. Xu Congyi likes a stronger taste, so he marinated it before lunch so that it can be marinated for several hours.
Lunch is simple, with multi-grain rice and stewed eggplant with potatoes. The cooked eggplant, potatoes and rice mixed together are so delicious. No meat is needed, lard can add a lot of flavor. Although Xu Congyi is not from Eastern Province in modern times, she also knows a saying there, "Stewed potatoes and eggplant will make the old man die of stuffing."
In order to eat the delicious rabbit made by Xu Congyi in the evening, Li Dahua deliberately controlled the quantity when making lunch. Everyone ate with restraint and only ate until they were full, saving their stomachs for dinner. Xu Congyi also noticed that everyone obviously ate much less at noon, and she suddenly felt stressed.
Xu Congyi: What should I do? Three rabbits may not be enough to eat!
After taking a short nap, Xu Congyi woke up before one o'clock, but it was almost ready. Xu Congyi fried the spice oil first, prepared various spices and put them aside waiting to be put into the pot. Xu Congyi suddenly remembered that he could fry some peanuts and put them in. He quickly searched for peanuts in boxes and cabinets. Because he was afraid that the rats and hungry wolves in the house would steal them, Li Dahua put them high. Xu Congyi finally found them. When Xu Congyi found them, Li Dahua also came back. If he had known, he would have waited.
The oil temperature does not need to be high for frying peanuts. Fry slowly over low heat otherwise they will easily get burnt. After taking out the peanuts, the oil temperature is just right for frying the spices. Pour in the scallions, ginger and various spices. Fry until the scallions turn golden brown and then take them out. At this time, add the marinated rabbit cubes and fry until the dense bubbles become smaller and the oil becomes clear. Xu Congyi took out a piece and tasted it. It was almost done. She didn't like it to be too dry. At this time, put all the chopped dry chilies into the pan and stir-fry with the rabbit meat. Stir-fry for a few times and then add the peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Finally, add the chili powder.
The ingredients were limited, and Xu Congyi also learned how to cook it from the space. She had never tasted authentic cold rabbit, but she picked up a piece with chopsticks to try it, and it tasted good. She filled a full porcelain bowl with it and could eat it after it cooled down.
The cold rabbit was ready, but Xu Congyi felt that it was a snack like the modern duck, and it couldn't be the only dish for dinner. Even if it was, it was made from three rabbits and it wouldn't be a big deal if the bones were removed. Moreover, it was quite spicy and eating too much would easily cause a sore throat, so Xu Congyi had to think about what else to cook for dinner.
