Su Qing said that her uncle and Meng Hang would definitely come over to help later, and they would have enough manpower to help her, so she could rest assured.
Zhu Xiuyun was really exhausted, so she nodded in agreement. She went back to her room and lay on the bed. Only then did she feel sore all over her body. She relaxed and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Su Qing asked Su Ping to deal with the head of the alien beast and a pile of hooves first, and asked him to use fire to burn all the fine hairs clean, especially in the ears and the gaps between the hooves.
Su Qing sorted out the various kinds of meat in the basin, bagged the ones not to be eaten today and put them in the refrigerator. Some were refrigerated and some were frozen.
It took me a long time to put it all in. The refrigerator at home is too small. Fortunately, I will eat half of it today.
Next, she had to wash the selected beef, mutton and venison with clean water until there was no trace of blood. She didn’t like doing this job.
Meng Hang happened to run over and handed everything to him while Su Qing went to make barbecue seasonings.
Find out the star anise, peppercorns, cumin, etc. at home, grind them into powder with a machine, mix them together, and put them in a bag. Leave some seasonings for marinating the meat, and grind the rest into powder. I also stir-fry a little in a large pot and add some salt. This will More fragrant.
Su Qing stuck out the tip of her tongue. The seasoning was really useless. I would go up the mountain and pick some back tomorrow, otherwise those peppercorns and star anise would have turned to mud in the beginning of spring.
It will cost money to go to the town to buy. It is estimated that the village will be under martial law for two days and you will not be able to leave. I don’t know if the uncle has found the missing villagers.
There must be someone who cares more about this kind of thing. Grandpa Er and Grandpa Meng will definitely inquire about it. Their children will not have to worry about it. She will cook a delicious meal for everyone to enjoy.
None of the elders have ever eaten the meat of these three exotic animals, so why should they care about diarrhea!
During this period of time, they often ate food from the mountains, and nothing happened. The adults only felt a little uncomfortable, and they recovered quickly. As long as it was not high-end exotic animal meat, ordinary people could eat it at will, but usually everyone would be reluctant to part with it. Every time I catch a rabbit, I sell it for money.
Meng Hang came over and said, "Qingqing, I will clean all the meat and internal organs, and make sure there is no blood at all."
Su Qing nodded and went over to take a look. It was indeed quite clean.
Su Ping finished the work of burning the fur on the heads of the exotic beasts. Not to mention that her uncle did the job very neatly, she might not be able to do it so cleanly herself. Although the hair was burnt black, not even a single hair fell down.
The three of them continued to work, and the kitchen was filled with pots and there was almost no space left.
"Meng Hang, cut these two pots of beef into four cubes, put it in the pot under cold water, boil out the blood in the meat, take it out, and cook three heads and hooves of exotic animals. This job is very simple, can you do it? ?”
"Qingqing, don't worry, leave this work to us."
The children in Shanquan Village have not been working since they were young. Cooking meat is too simple.
Meng Hang cut the beef cubes quickly, and Su Ping lit the fire, added water to the pot, and started to cook the beef.
Su Qing marinated all kinds of offal with seasoning powder, rice wine, onions, ginger, and garlic to remove the fishy smell. She never eats animal offal herself, and she doesn't know how to cook it. She just followed the method of cooking braised pork and tried cooking it. Maybe it tasted better. good.
The three of them were busy, and Su An also came over to help with the work. If the others didn't come, they were really tired and needed a break. The women were even busier. They had to sort out so many exotic animal meats when they got home, freeze, marinate and air-dry them separately. , also busy.
"Qingqing, I'm here to help. My mother is a little tired. Let her rest at home first. My father went to inquire about the news. I don't know how the village chief and others are doing. There are more than ten people who haven't come back."
"Yes." Su Qing said yes, saying that she understood. She welcomed her uncle to help. There was a shortage of manpower, and the most important barbecue stove was not available yet.
"Uncle, help me build an earthen stove in the yard. Burn charcoal or firewood below, and put a wire mesh or an iron plate on top."
Su An touched his head and looked confused, not understanding.
Su Qing had no choice but to go into the room and draw a simple diagram and explain it to him. Su An then understood and said that he happened to have a suitable iron plate at home. He went back to get it and left it to him to build the earthen stove.
Su Qing returned to the kitchen and continued to work, cutting the two pots of meat into thin slices, adding seasoning powder, salt, rice wine, etc. to marinate them.
Cutting meat is not an easy job, and you can't use magic. If my uncle turns around and sees the kitchen knife cutting meat automatically, he will faint.
But just by herself, two large pots of meat were enough for her. Mainly because she was short, it was a bit difficult to cut the meat. Fortunately, Meng Hang was free and took over the job of cutting the meat. All she had to do was put in the seasoning and marinate.
Su Qing secretly decided to eat more nutritious food and work hard to grow taller. Her parents are not short, and she will definitely not be petite.
Su Ping was responsible for cooking the meat. He cooked the beef cubes first, then the cow heads and hooves. After cooking, take them out. Su Qing asked him to clean the blood foam and set it aside.
Put a few large sticks of firewood on the earthen stove, Su Qing brushed the pot, heated the pot, poured oil, stir-fry the seasonings until fragrant, poured water, put cooking wine, soy sauce, onion, ginger, garlic salt, added beef cubes, covered the pot, and turned the pot to low. Bring to a simmer.
We have a big firewood pot at home. Put all the beef in the pot and there is still plenty left in the pot. Su Qing throws in four more cow hooves. The braised pork becomes more and more fragrant as it cooks. A lot of seasoning is needed to remove the smell.
Su Qing felt that the seasoning was not enough, so he asked Meng Hang to go home and bring what he had at home to use, and they would go up the mountain to pick it tomorrow.
A few large pieces of firewood were placed in the stove and slowly simmered over low heat. Several people continued to work. There was no need to keep an eye on the stove fire. They could just add more pieces of firewood every now and then.
Su Qing carried the basket and went to the planting fields to pick vegetables. She couldn't just eat meat, but also had to eat some vegetables to relieve her tiredness.
Pick a few cucumbers, break off a few green corns, and bake them. Roasted green peppers and eggplants are also delicious. We have potatoes and sweet potatoes at home. Potatoes and beef are a perfect match.
After filling her backpack and bamboo basket with vegetables, Su Qing returned home easily.
Meng Hang got the condiments back and was sitting by the stove watching the fire. He was the most skilled at this job.
Su Ping and Su An were thinking about how to build an earthen stove. They picked up a lot of bricks and piled them on the side. There was an iron plate as big as a desk erected on the side.
Su Qing didn't have the kind of wire mesh in his mind, so he could only use iron plates instead. Then the barbecue would taste almost like charcoal grilling, but the iron plate barbecue was just as delicious, so I'll make do with it.
Who told her to insist on eating barbecue? There is no ready-made barbecue rack. It is not worth spending money to customize it.
Su Qing washed the picked vegetables and put them in a basin for later use.
Seeing several exotic animal heads, she picked out one and put it on the chopping board. She picked up a kitchen knife and wanted to chop it into two halves. It would taste better and get out the brains inside. She forgot about it at first and waited until her uncle finished cooking. Thinking about it, she didn't know whether the brains could be stewed or not, so she might as well pick them out!
Su Qing didn't eat animal offal in her previous life. She didn't know how to cook any offal soup or pork head meat.
But the meat of exotic animals is precious. In line with the principle of not spoiling things, I can boil it casually to make braised food. In case someone likes to eat it, and the elders are not picky about food,
Su Qing picked up the kitchen knife and chopped it down hard.
According to her idea, the alien beast could be hacked to death by itself, so a boiled cow head was nothing. Unfortunately, she misjudged the hardness of the alien beast's skull, and failed with one cut. She could only shout in frustration:
"Meng Hang, I can't cut it, come on."
Meng Hang was watching the fire, smelling the fragrance in the cauldron, and kept swallowing saliva, imagining that after the stew was cooked, he could enjoy it.
He suddenly heard Su Qing calling him, turned his head, and almost made him laugh,
Su Qing was a small person, holding a large kitchen knife in her hand. She wanted to cut open the half-cooked beef head with one knife.
Unfortunately, Su Qing was too short and the chopping board was a bit high, so she couldn't use her strength. The kitchen knife only made a small cut and got stuck on the bone.
Meng Hang stood up and said, "Get up and let me do it. Your little chicken strength is up to me! Just cut it in half, right?"
