The pheasants caught in Mingxi are called bamboo partridges in the village, and their scientific names are gray-breasted bamboo chickens. They usually live in hilly areas, or in bamboo forests and bushes at the foot of mountains.
When Mingxi met these bamboo partridges, they were on a family outing. A dozen of them were walking in a long line at the foot of the mountain. Mingxi adjusted the current intensity of the stun gun and hit it with one hit! Put down the whole family!
She and Ming Song picked and brought back four male partridges. As for the female partridge and the young, they were all released into the forest.
The feathers of bamboo partridge are light brown, smaller than domestic chickens, and not as fat as domestic chickens, but the meat is tender and delicious, and is very suitable for roasting (it is also suitable for stewing, roasting, deep-frying, and stir-frying) eat).
Ming Song was responsible for killing the chickens, and Tian Zhenzhen was responsible for boiling water and plucking the feathers. The pheasant feathers should not be wasted, so Dazhuang and Erzhuang could be buried in the vegetable field and used as fertilizer.
Mingxi took a kitchen knife to chop onions, ginger, radishes, and beans, and prepared a large pot of vegetables. After Tian Zhenzhen finished plucking the feathers, Mingxi took over and started handling the four pheasants.
First rinse the chicken with clean water, then use a bamboo skewer to poke some holes in the chicken, then rub them inside and out with old ginger, apply coarse salt on them, and rub them while rubbing them, until the surface is evenly coated. The chicken skin is shiny and shiny.
Tian Zhenzhen couldn't understand her sister-in-law's tactics, "What are you doing?"
Mingxi raised his head and smiled at her: "Hey, this is called massage. It can make the chicken taste better."
Mingsong was also looking at the fresh food. As long as the farm food could fill his stomach, how could there be such tricks?
"Sister, it's still dangerous to go hunting in the mountains. I think you can work as a cook in a county restaurant and earn a lot of money every month." He said with emotion.
Tian Zhenzhen disagreed, "Do you think being a cook is easy? I'm so exhausted when it's meal time. In summer, I have to guard the hot stove and my clothes haven't dried all day long!"
After hearing this, Mingsong hurriedly said: "No, no, no, we no longer want to be cooks."
"Haha!" Mingxi laughed. She didn't want to work for others. She had already worked hard enough in her previous life.
"Ye'er, go home and get the honey we bought yesterday." Mingxi turned to her eldest daughter and said.
"Why are you still using honey?" Tian Zhenzhen exclaimed, "That is a valuable thing, and only the ladies in the city can afford it."
Ye'er was about to run home when she heard her aunt say that honey was expensive. She couldn't help but stop and looked at Mingxi hesitantly.
"The roasted pheasant coated with honey is more fragrant!" Mingxi said.
Appetite finally defeated the desire to save, and Ye'er hurried home.
"Sister-in-law, the cold radish you made last time is refreshing and less greasy. It is much more delicious than the radish from Fuxing Restaurant. It will definitely be more perfect when paired with roasted chicken!"
Tian Zhenzhen was so praised that she said, "Well, then I'll get another one."
"Hey, thank you sister-in-law~"
Mingxi continued to concentrate on massaging the chicken.
Even though she seems to be familiar with everything, this is actually her first time making roast chicken.
How could there be such leisure and ease before? She is either working or on the way to work every day. She is so busy that she can only eat fast food products and nutritional pills to fill her stomach. She has no extra time and energy to cook delicious food. Fortunately, she has watched many food tutorials, and now I have a chance to show my talents~
After the massage, she stuffed the ginger slices, carrots and onions she had just prepared into the chicken belly according to the method in her memory. She also stuffed a handful of green onions and tied the chicken belly tightly with bamboo skewers to prevent the stuffed vegetables from leaking out. .
In fact, we should have some more potatoes, but unfortunately no one in the village grew potatoes. I guess potatoes were not yet fully popular at this time.
Ye'er ran back with a jar of honey, and Mingxi smeared the four pheasants one by one with honey, wrapped the two ends with bamboo leaves, and roasted them on the fire. They were roasted until they were sizzling with oil and the fragrance was overwhelming!
It didn’t take long for the delicious smell of pheasant and the fragrance of bamboo leaves to fill the whole yard at the same time!
Dazhuang and Erzhuang smelled the smell and could hardly move, staring straight at the roast chicken on the stove——
The skin gradually browned under the flames, and the honey and coarse salt melted into the oil. A few drops of oil dripped into the fire, and immediately there was a sizzling sound. This sound made the ears itchy and the taste buds secreted uncontrollably. More saliva! Absolute, absolutely amazing!
Erzhuang was so greedy that he almost cried. He looked at Mingxi and shouted, "Auntie! You are my biological aunt!"
Tian Zhenzhen was so embarrassed that she dug her toes on the ground. How could her own son be so virtuous? If you are greedy, you will talk nonsense!
"She is your biological aunt, otherwise it would be fake?" Tian Zhenzhen angrily hit Er Zhuang with her elbow and said disgustedly, "Go and set the dishes."
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go!" Erzhuang was so active that cooking had become the top priority in his life.
At this time, outside the courtyard gate, Mrs. He next door leaned out half of her body and looked into the courtyard curiously, "Hey, Ming family, what are you doing to make delicious food? My little grandson Xiang is crying at noon!" "
Mingsong said happily: "It's my sister..."
Before she could finish her words, she was grabbed by her daughter-in-law. Tian Zhenzhen replied with a subtle smile: "Aren't these two brats in my family eating too much? They couldn't get enough to eat no matter what they eat every day, so their aunt caught a few bamboo partridges for the children. Tooth-beating ceremony, alas, these bamboo partridges are too thin, there are so many mouths in the house, I don’t know if they are enough to eat.”
She blocked the conversation first to prevent Mrs. He from asking for chicken from home.
Mrs. He smiled coquettishly, "Is Da Zhuang almost fifteen years old? It's time for his appetite to increase."
As he spoke, he looked at Ming Xi next to the stove, and the smile on his face deepened, "It's also because Da Zhuang Er Zhuang has a good aunt, that's why he is so lucky. Lady Xi, your hunting ability is really good, my little one is If my grandson can learn even a little bit, I won’t have to worry about it in the future.”
Mingxi: "Hey hey hey~"
Tian Zhenzhen finally came to her senses. It turned out that Mrs. He came here not to beg for meat, but to get close to her sister-in-law!
I don’t know what’s going on in the past two days. The whole village is spreading the word that Mingxi has been accepted as a disciple by the gods. Obviously she and Mingsong have not told the outside world. The two children at home are also very talkative. I don’t know how this news got out. Got it!
Tian Zhenzhen now feels that Mrs. He in front of her is quite suspicious!
"Mingsong! Is your sister here with you?"
Zhao Lizheng's voice suddenly sounded outside the door. Everyone looked together and saw Zhao Lizheng and Zhao Youde appearing at the door.
"Ouch! What does it smell like? It smells so good!" Zhao Youde sighed, and when he saw Mingxi next to the stove, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he strode up with a smile, "Congratulations, Mrs. Xi! Your medicine is really miraculous! I I came here specially to tell you the good news!!!”
Ming Xi smiled happily when he heard this, "Great! With Uncle De, can my matter be handled?"
Zhao Youde nodded confidently and replied with a smile: "Our county magistrate is a good official. He said it himself that what you want to do is reasonable and reasonable. Regardless of whether the medicine can be used or not, it must be done for you! In a few days God, when the young master is well, the county magistrate will bring him to visit in person to say thank you!"
"Oh my God!" Mrs. He suddenly screamed and exclaimed, "The county magistrate is coming to our village!!!"
This voice attracted all the nearby villagers over!
