Chapter 452 I’m looking forward to it more and more!
After that, Mu Qingye asked again: "Shall we plant these nightshades now?"
Li You nodded, "Plant it first."
It is easy to plant and can be planted quickly.
Li You went to the utility room and took out a hoe, picked up the nightshade and walked to the wild orchard.
Mu Qingye, Ling Xiaoru, and Xia Xiaoyue also followed.
Arriving at the wild orchard, after Li You selected the place, he started digging a hole. The hole does not need to be too big or too deep. When Li You puts two hoes down, it will be a hole.
Mash the soil a little more.
Done.
Mu Qingye, Ling Xiaoru, and Xia Xiaoyue were responsible for the planting.
It only took ten minutes for all the nightshades to be planted. Li You brought two more buckets of water over and poured some water on each plant.
After watering, it's done.
From then on, there was another kind of wild fruit in the wild orchard.
Very good.
We walked out of the wild orchard and returned to the front of the hotel. At 4:30 pm, it was almost time to start grilling fish and beggar’s chicken.
For grilled fish, they use crucian carp, which is about half a catty per piece. They can grill it as much as they want, as long as it is enough.
As for the beggar's chicken, just make two.
Li You's chicken was obtained from the game copy of "Legend of Hot Blood" last time. It's a big one. It's a lot to make two.
Last time we got more than 3,000 chickens, now less than half are left.
However, I can still persist for a long time, so I’m not afraid.
Mix the yellow mud first.
Li You chose a place next to the vegetable garden and poured all the loess in the bag onto the ground.
I brought another bucket of water over in a bucket, ready to make peace.
Xia Xiaoyue, Ling Xiaoru, and Mu Qingye were all squatting nearby and watching.
This is Li You's first time working with Huang Ni, so he has no experience and can only try slowly.
I played with mud when I was a kid. I wonder if the experience of playing with mud is useful? I guess it is useless.
Li You first tried with a part of the loess. He first piled the loess into a mountain pile, and then dug the soil from the middle to all sides to make the middle empty.
Similar to Hehesha Cement.
Add water to the middle, and when you think it's almost done, use a small shovel to turn the surrounding soil into the middle.
Little by little, the loess began to slowly turn into yellow mud.
It feels pretty good and quite fun.
"It seems like the children are playing in the mud." Ling Xiaoru said with a smile.
Li You said: "It should be said that the children in the past. Now even the children in the countryside seem to hardly play in the mud."
Ling Xiaoru nodded, "It is true that children nowadays hardly play with mud anymore. Every era has its own different marks."
Li You said: "That's true."
At this time, Li You felt that this part of the yellow mud was almost mixed, and the viscosity was already relatively high.
Yellow mud is very sticky.
In this case, it’s okay. The first time with Huang Ni, it seems to be quite successful.
Then continue to mix in all the remaining loess.
I kept kneading and kneading, and after ten minutes, all the loess finally turned into yellow mud.
Not bad, not bad.
Li Youhe is satisfied. Xia Xiaoyue, Ling Xiaoru, and Mu Qingye also think it is very good.
Is it going to be officially launched next?
Li You nodded, "Let's get started. I'll go to the kitchen to process the chicken a little bit and apply some seasoning. You guys wash out the lotus leaves."
"Okay." Xia Xiaoyue and the three others said the same.
Li You nodded and added: "Actually, the earliest beggar chickens didn't use lotus leaves or tinfoil."
"No lotus leaves or tinfoil?" Xia Xiaoyue and the three of them were a little surprised. "If we don't use these, then we just wrap the yellow mud directly on the chicken? Isn't that unhygienic?"
Li You said: "It's not wrapped directly on the chicken, but on chicken feathers. Because the earliest beggar chickens didn't pluck their feathers. They only opened a small door at the tail and hollowed out the internal organs. Then the chickens were yellowed.
The chicken feathers are wrapped in mud. After it is simmered in a pile of firewood, the yellow mud will be broken open. The yellow mud will fall off along with the chicken feathers, leaving only the tender and attractive chicken."
Is that so?
Xia Xiaoyue and the three of them were amazed because it sounded a bit magical, but also a bit simple and crude.
It's really a bit crude to just wrap it in yellow mud without even plucking it out.
Li You smiled and said: "It's a bit crude. However, the beggar's chicken made like that has a unique flavor."
"Then shall we pluck the chicken feathers today?" Mu Qingye asked.
"Plucking." Li You said: "My chickens are all plucked and their internal organs have been cleaned. It doesn't work even if I don't want to pluck them."
"Okay, okay." Mu Qingye breathed a sigh of relief, "It's better to pluck the hair."
Xia Xiaoyue said: "Boss, which one tastes better, plucking or not plucking?"
Li You said: "Each one has its own merits. Although the original special flavor is lost after plucking the hair, it will have an extra fragrance of lotus leaves because it is wrapped in lotus leaves."
Xia Xiaoyue nodded, "It's best to each have his or her own merits."
I'll eat the plucked ones today. If I have a chance, I'll try the unplucked ones later.
You have to experience both flavors.
After that, Xia Xiaoyue, Ling Xiaoru, and Mu Qingye began to wash the lotus leaves. Li You walked into the kitchen, took out two chickens from the storage compartment, and prepared to handle them briefly.
In fact, you can do it without any processing. Wrap it directly in lotus leaves, then wrap it in a layer of yellow mud, and then put it into a pile of firewood and roast it.
However, if some processing is done, the taste will be better.
So, do it simply. Use onions, ginger, soy sauce, cooking wine, etc. to smear the whole body of the chicken and marinate it for a while.
Then that's it.
After both chickens are coated, let them sit still and marinate for ten minutes.
After that, Li You took out twenty more crucian carps from the storage compartment. The ones that had been killed were all about half a catty.
Prepare twenty items first. If there are not enough by then, just add more.
The most primitive method of grilling fish, the fish can also be grilled without any treatment. Just find a wet branch and thread it through, and then grill it over a fire.
However, you can simply handle it before baking it.
Li You will take care of it now. Apply the same onion, ginger, soy sauce, cooking wine, etc. to the whole body of the fish, and then marinate it for a while.
After finishing the operation, Li You walked out of the kitchen and came outside the store.
Xia Xiaoyue, Ling Xiaoru, and Mu Qingye have already washed the lotus leaves and separated them one by one to dry.
Not bad.
Next, dig the hole where the beggar chicken mud balls will be placed.
The beggar's chicken clay balls can be roasted directly in the firewood pile. However, the best way is to dig a hole of suitable size on the ground, then put the beggar's chicken clay balls in and fill the hole.
The top of the beggar's chicken clay ball is about 10 cm above the ground.
Then make a fire on it and use the high temperature of the earth under the fire to cook the chicken bit by bit.
This will take a long time, but the stewed chicken will be very good, tender and fragrant, and it will make people drool.
It's still early now, so let Xia Xiaoyue and the three of them slowly light the fire and simmer it slowly.
You can also grill fish on the fire, which is perfect!
He took the hoe, chose a place on the dirt floor next to the vegetable garden, and said to Xia Xiaoyue and the others: "How about baking here?"
Xia Xiaoyue and the three of them nodded, "Okay, it's a good position."
Li You nodded and started digging a hole with a hoe.
None of the three Xia Xiaoyue understood, so they all asked, "Boss, why are you digging a hole?"
Li You explained the reason.
The three of them, Xia Xiaoyue, suddenly realized. It turned out to be like this. They had previously thought that they were just putting the beggar chicken clay balls in the fire to bake, but now they knew that they had to dig a pit underneath and put the beggar chicken clay balls into the pit.
Roasted inside.
It feels more interesting this way.
People are looking forward to it more and more!
