Chapter 198: There has never been such a thing as a famous name(1/2)
As the sky grew dark, Jiang He came back from outside carrying two fishing rods and a big goose.
The big goose was still alive, with a pair of small eyes staring at Xu Qing in the living room.
A row of question marks hung on Xu Qing's head.
"Why does it smell so bad?"
Jiang He wrinkled his nose, put the fishing rod aside, and walked over with the big goose in one hand. When he saw the durian in Xu Qing's hand and the suspicious residue on his mouth, his expression suddenly became very complicated.
"Why did you carry a goose? What were you doing this afternoon? It couldn't be..."
Xu Qing already had guesses in his head.
Fishing - didn't catch anything - caught someone's goose and brought it back.
Jiang He is a mature fisherman.
"I bought it..." Jiang He looked down at the big goose, then at the clock in the living room, covered his mouth and nose with his other hand in disgust, and said in a low voice: "I will come back early to cook next time.
"
"It's not too late, I left something delicious for you..." Xu Qing pushed most of the durians left on the table towards her.
Jiang He's expression changed drastically and he took a few steps back.
Xu Qing licked his lips and explained: "This is called durian, which is the same as stinky tofu..."
"Don't eat it!"
"..."
It took a lot of effort to explain that he was really not eating shit, and Xu Qing couldn't let Jiang He try to take a bite.
I went home to cheat on the house but I didn't get it. I bought a durian from Xu Wenbin and the others and wanted to give it to Jiang He to taste, but it was a pity.
Xu Qing had to solve it alone.
"You really didn't catch it somewhere secretly? Now even if it is left free-range, it still belongs to an owner. You have to let someone put it back," Xu Qing said.
Jiang He was already boiling water and preparing to cook the goose. The goose was still confused and looked at the winter melon with its two small eyes.
"I bought it. There was an old lady selling it in the market. I thought it was so pitiful that no one was buying it, so I bought it back."
"What about the fish you caught?" Xu Qing didn't believe it.
The fisherman from the Air Force came back with a big goose in his hand, which made people suspicious no matter how he looked at it.
"I caught several and gave them to Pingping."
"Pingping?"
"Young yogurt girl, I went fishing with her, but she didn't catch any fish, so I gave her all mine." Jiang He said in the kitchen.
"So generous."
This explained why she came back with two fishing rods. Xu Qing now believed that she did not catch other people's geese, but bought them herself.
If it was caught outside, Jiang He would probably happily show off to him as soon as he walked in. This was his 'trophy' from hunting in the wild.
"It's just a few, not enough for us to eat for a meal. She lives alone, and it's just enough for a meal, so I gave them all to her." Jiang He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the geese from the ground.
"Wait, are you going to kill it?" Xu Qing asked.
"Otherwise?" Jiang He was a little confused and took a look at the goose neck, "You want to bite it to death?"
"...Okay, I'm just curious why you don't buy the cooked ones if you want to eat goose."
There is a roast goose shop just a block away, with oily roast geese hung in it, half and half.
"Originally I wanted to buy a duck, but then when I saw it, I remembered that you were chased by a goose when you were a child, and you burst into tears..."
"That's just my mother exaggerating. I was just chased for a while and didn't cry." Xu Qing corrected her seriously.
"Anyway, I just suddenly wanted to eat."
Jiang He pinched the goose's wing and suddenly handed it to Xu Qing. It was amusing to see Xu Qing's back, and then he caught it and went into the kitchen.
Xu Qing followed to the kitchen door and leaned against the door frame to watch her operations.
To be honest, if this thing was given to him, he wouldn't know what to do with it. He might break its neck and then look it up on Baidu.
Jiang He looked quite skilled. He took a bowl and placed it on Yantai. He pinched the goose wings with his left hand, hooked one of the goose legs with his little finger, then fixed the neck with his free index finger and thumb, and manipulated it with one hand.
Appearing to be slaughtered.
"Do you want me to help..."
Before Xu Qing finished speaking, Jiang He picked up a kitchen knife and slashed the goose's neck, then grabbed the goose's head, and blood flowed into the bowl.
"What are you helping me with?" Jiang He tilted his head.
"It's nothing, be careful." Xu Qing saw the big goose struggling hard.
pitiful……
"Too cruel."
Xu Qing shook his head and sighed, unable to bear to look any further, "Logically speaking, I should have made a cut there, and then you should have clenched your little fist at the door of the kitchen and watched..."
"Are you coming?" Jiang He gestured, but the goose's blood continued to flow.
"never mind."
Xu Qing waved his hands and accepted the fact that Jiang He crushed him in handling live birds.
In the past, she would hunt pheasants and ducks when she had nothing to do, and the little darts would swish.
He took his phone and searched Baidu, then turned around and said, "Keep the blood and don't throw it away."
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that goose blood is mild in nature, salty in taste, non-toxic, and enters the heart, liver, and stomach meridians; it has the effects of detoxifying and clearing the diaphragm, softening hardness and removing blood stasis, replenishing qi and replenishing qi, warming the stomach, opening fluids, and treating deficiency and thirst.
It can also fight cancer.
"You are so cruel." Jiang He muttered in a low voice. Seeing that the blood was almost drained, he called Xu Qing to come in and pour the hot water from the pot into the bucket, and then threw the goose in to scald it and remove its hair.
Goose is no better than chicken. It is too big to be eaten in one meal. I only used half of the ginger. Cut it into pieces and blanch them. Then, following the tutorial on my phone, I added two spoons of oil and one spoon of sugar, and added ginger slices and pepper.
, star anise, cooking wine of various kinds...
The fragrant braised goose is ready.
Freshly killed meat not only tastes different from frozen meat, but also tastes better when cooked. Xu Qing, who just thought it was cruel, had tears streaming down her face.
“It tastes so good the first time I make it.”
"The essence of cooking is the same, control the heat and seasoning..."
Jiang He, bah bah, taught Xu Qing what he had learned, and Xu Qing spit out a piece of bone.
"Is it delicious?" Jiang He looked at him with squinted eyes and smiled.
"Hmm, smells good!"
Xu Qing held the bowl and sighed, even if Jiang He becomes a fat man one day, he will still be able to do it with this skill.
"How much did it cost?"
"Seventeen yuan per catty. This goose weighs more than six catties. I was given a discount of six catties, and then charged me a hundred yuan."
"Well, it's not expensive, it's pretty good."
In terms of food, Jiang He is not as economical as hand cream. She may be reluctant to buy hand cream worth hundreds of yuan, but it will be different if she replaces the hand cream with chicken, duck and fish.
When people live, they need to eat all kinds of things, taste all kinds of things, and fill their stomachs full. This is ranked first among needs. As for taking care of hands, it is usually ranked last. In view of the pervert Xu Qing,
If you like to play with your hands, let me mention it a little bit - at most, it will be ranked fourth or fifth, no more.
Jiang He thought to himself, took out the duck feet and put them into Xu Qing's bowl.
"Don't you like feet? I'll give them to you."
"?"
Xu Qing felt very embarrassed.
Half of the big goose was eaten cleanly by two people, and there were two small piles of bones on the table. I was also lucky enough to taste a small piece of winter melon - although I can't eat heavy salt, it doesn't matter if I try it occasionally.
Jiang He's cell phone rang. It was from an old woman with the note 'Ping Ping'. Last time it was 'Gong Ping', but now it has become a double character...
It must have been taught by that old woman.
Xu Qing was very unhappy because he saw that he was noted as "Qing Qing".
"It seems to be coated in flour. Let's eat it like this next time." Jiang He clicked on the photo sent by the other party and swiped his finger to enlarge it. On it was a plate of fried golden fish.
I was misled by Xu Qing in the past. After catching such a small fish, I would bring it back to make soup and never fry it.
"What's going on with Qing Qing?" Xu Qing asked.
"that is you."
"I know, don't you think...she looks very feminine?"
"You look like a woman?" Jiang He was surprised and looked him up and down.
