Chapter 335 Delicious Rabbit Stewed Potatoes
Chapter 335 Delicious Rabbit Stewed Potatoes
After hearing what Zhang said, Brother Yun patted his chest and realized that Zhang had not reacted just now.
Only now did she react.
"Boss, do you think we should braise this rabbit or stir-fry it spicy?"
Zhang said to herself. Before Brother Yun could say anything, she made her own decision, "Let's make it braised. We can put potatoes in it."
"When the rabbit meat is cooked, the potatoes that have absorbed the juice will taste better than the meat."
Zhang took the rabbit meat wrapped in large leaves and walked towards Yun the butcher.
"Here, sir, chop the rabbit into small pieces. I'll put the potatoes on and stew them later."
"Okay, I'll clean the rabbit meat and then chop it. By the way, wife, are these the only pancakes you haven't baked?"
"Yes, wait until the pancakes are out of the pot, then you can stew the meat directly. By the way, boss, cut a bowl of pickled peppers and ginger for me, I will need them later."
"Okay, I'll go get it later."
After five or six minutes, Zhang shoveled the pancake out of the pan.
Wash the pot with water and start preparing to stew the rabbit.
"Zi Rui, you can turn up the fire a little. I want to stew the rabbit."
Xie Zirui added a few pieces of firewood to the stove, "Aunt, did my brother and his friends catch a rabbit in the mountains?"
Zhang lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, Yiyi caught a fat rabbit in the mountains. Let's stew the rabbit tonight."
Xie Zirui immediately became happy. The food had been improved tonight, which was really great.
After the pan was hot, Zhang poured half a bowl of oil into the pan. The fire was high and the oil heated up quickly.
Zhang put the chopped pickled peppers and pickled ginger into the pot and stir-fried them. When the aroma of the peppers and pickled ginger wafted from the pot, she poured the chopped potatoes into the pot.
Next, she kept frying the rabbit meat. When the moisture in the rabbit meat dried up and the outside of the rabbit meat was a little burnt, Zhang added half a bowl of soybean paste to the pot.
Wait until the rabbit meat is coated with soybean paste, then add star anise, Sichuan peppercorns and half a bowl of white wine into the pot.
Finally, Zhang added half a basin of water to the pot. She covered the pot and said, "Zi Rui, it's up to you now."
"Aunt, don't worry, I will watch the fire carefully."
"That's good. I'll go cut some potatoes now."
In the end, Zhang cut five large potatoes and put them all in half a small basin, which looked like a lot.
She estimated that the rabbit meat would need to be stewed for a while longer, so she turned around to help Yun the butcher pick wild vegetables.
It quickly got dark and Yun the butcher lit the oil lamp.
Except for Yun Yiyi who was sleeping and Xie Zirui who was making a fire, everyone else was picking wild vegetables by the light of the oil lamp.
"Mom, I smell a strong aroma of rabbit meat. Is the rabbit meat cooked?"
Zhang smiled and glanced at Brother Yun San. "Brother San, you have a very good nose. Wait, I'll add the potatoes. As long as the potatoes are cooked, we can eat."
Upon hearing this, everyone smiled.
Zhang looked at the rabbit meat and saw that it was almost done. She poured the potatoes into the pot and covered it.
"Zi Rui, just cook it for another ten minutes."
"I know, aunt."
The next ten minutes or so became unbearable.
The aroma of rabbit meat became stronger and stronger. Everyone's eyes kept turning to the iron pot.
Finally the time came and Zhang opened the lid of the pot. The potatoes were already very soft and ready to be served.
She deftly put the rabbit meat into the bowl.
"Boss, quickly set the table for dinner. Oh, and someone go wake up Yiyi."
"It will be ready soon, wife."
Butcher Yun cleaned up the table, put the porridge into the bowl, put the chopsticks away, and brought over the baked pancakes.
When Zhang placed the basin of rabbit meat in the middle of the table, she said, "Okay, it's time to eat."
At this time, Yun Yiyi also came over, rubbing her eyes, "Mom, the rabbit meat smells so good."
"It's just been served, sit down and eat."
Yun Yiyi sat down immediately, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of rabbit meat and started eating.
"Wow, Mom, the rabbit meat is so fragrant and delicious."
"Mom, potatoes are delicious too."
"Wife, fresh meat tastes better when stewed."
Everyone was talking loudly while eating.
Zhang was also eating and laughing.
The rabbit meat and potatoes fill up almost a small bowl.
However, the Yun family had big appetites, so they ate all the rabbit meat. Third Brother Yun even used a piece of bread to dip into the remaining soup and ate it all.
"The food tonight is so delicious. I wish we could eat like this every day." Brother Yun San said while touching his belly.
Others nodded in agreement.
Zhang laughed and poured cold water on everyone, "What are you thinking, you? With your appetite, if you eat like this every day, our family's food won't last through the winter."
Butcher Yun smiled awkwardly, "Wife, I think we can improve our food occasionally."
Zhang rolled her eyes at Yun the Butcher and said, "That's a good idea."
Others thought it was okay. After all, there weren't many places where people could eat to their heart's content at this time.
"Big brother, take your brothers and sisters to Guanlu for a walk to help digest their food. Watch them wash up and go to bed later."
"Okay, Mom." Brother Yun responded obediently.
Soon, all the brothers and sisters of the Yun family went for a stroll on the official road.
Yun the butcher was left behind to help Zhang clean up.
After all the pots, pans, and utensils were washed, Zhang brought the oil lamp into the carriage.
Zhang and Yun the butcher, using the light of the lamp, took out all the yams from the basket and put them back into the basket.
When Zhang poured out all the yams, she was very surprised.
"Boss, I didn't expect the children to pick so many yam beans."
"That's a lot indeed. But yam beans are easy to store, so let's save them and eat them slowly."
"Okay. Put the yam beans in the basket. Just leave the top open. Don't cover it. It will rot easily."
Butcher Yun took the empty basket and put the yam beans into it.
"Head, our children have really grown up this year. Look at how much they have gained in the mountains recently."
"Yes, these things the children found in the mountains are enough for us to spend the winter in comfort."
Zhang then sighed deeply, "Alas, the children have worked too hard."
"Who says it isn't true? Even though we have been eating well recently, the children haven't gained weight. It's because they work too hard."
"Now the children basically just lay down on mats and fall asleep. It's obvious that they are very tired."
"There's nothing we can do. We don't have any elderly people to help look after the house, and we can't go up the mountain to help the children."
"It's okay, wife. When the weather gets colder, we have so much food at home. You can cook different dishes for the children every day."
