"Then let them go? Doesn't it look like we are a little bored?" Yan Yuan said. No pop-ups
The four of them looked at each other, feeling a little bored.
"Then, do you want to eat these sparrows?" Liu Ruxuan asked.
Yan Yuan naturally did not dare to answer this question hastily. He really wanted to eat the sparrow. This guy has always been very curious about things he has never eaten before.
"No, no, this sparrow is so small, it's not enough for me to eat. I just think it's a bit boring for us to catch them with great difficulty, scare them half to death, and then let them go. I should It can be regarded as cruelty to small animals. If they are killed and eaten directly, it is not considered cruelty to animals." Yan Yuan said.
The question Yan Yuan mentioned is not nonsense. A few years ago, a domestic pharmaceutical company that harvested bile from live bears was heavily criticized, and public opinion at home and abroad condemned it. In particular, some people raised their arms and thought it was animal cruelty. According to their point of view, bile extraction should give the bear a happy death and should not be used as a tool for bile extraction. This is very reasonable.
Jiangbian was very surprised to hear the news at the fish restaurant at that time, and he couldn't figure it out. These people are so concerned about even the rights of bears. It is said that they are very concerned about those hundreds of bears. They should be very charitable people. But Jiangbian couldn't figure it out. In the same year, hundreds of people died in domestic school bus accidents. Why couldn't these people cheer up?
"Anyway, I can't let you eat such a cute little bird." When Liu Ruxuan couldn't explain the truth clearly, she talked politics with Yan Yuan.
Naturally, Yan Yuan always wanted to maintain a high degree of consistency with Liu Ruxuan on major issues of right and wrong, "That is, I can't bear to do anything to such a cute sparrow. Since the mother-in-law said so, I think it's better to let it go." "
Liu Ruxuan also felt that comrades who could correct their mistakes were still good comrades, so she decided to give Yan Yuan a chance to make amends, "Then go over and release all the birds. Don't let them get hurt."
"Don't worry. I'm the best at this." Yan Yuan ran over quickly.
Jiangbian was a little confused by Yan Yuan's words, so he just let a few birds fly. What else is he good at? That doesn't seem to be a difficult matter.
Yan Yuan didn¡¯t use any special techniques, he simply overturned the bamboo basket and the sparrows flew away. Even one of them was a little stunned by the collision with the bamboo basket, and it still stood there, spinning around.
¡°It¡¯s really none of my business, it knocked itself out.¡± Yan Yuan turned around and explained.
The unlucky little sparrow spun around in circles and finally recovered. Seeing that Yan Yuan had come to his side, he hurriedly flapped his wings and flew high.
Yan Yuan was still looking at Liu Ruxuan's eyes, but Liu Ruxuan kept staring at the little sparrow. When he saw the little sparrow flying away, a smile appeared on his face.
Yan Yuan didn¡¯t know whether this smile was honey or a knife, the expression on a woman¡¯s face was always difficult to decipher.
When I looked back, the little sparrow had long disappeared.
Yan Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little regretful in his heart, "It's a pity that I didn't taste the fried sparrow. It's a pity."
It turns out that this guy really wants to eat sparrows, but how dare he show it in front of Liu Ruxuan.
It doesn¡¯t matter if you¡¯re on the riverside, there¡¯s really nothing to eat with the little meat from the sparrows.
Jiangbian walked over and put the bamboo basket away, and whispered, "Actually, sparrows are not tasty. They are all bones and no meat. If you want to eat game, I will make you a special dish at noon. Last night , some of my dogs came back with two pheasants in their mouths from time to time."
"I don't want to eat sparrows, but I'm still very interested in the pheasant you mentioned." Yan Yuan denied it, but his face was full of smiles.
"Well, you go in first, I have to prepare some raw materials." Jiangbian said.
Jiang Bian returned to the kitchen, picked up a bamboo strip knife and walked out the door.
There is a bamboo forest not far from the house on the river.
Yan Yuan also followed him in a hurry.
"Brother, are you going to make a bamboo tube pheasant?" Yan Yuan was indeed a professional, and he got seven or eight points in one guess.
"Absolutely." Jiang Bian nodded.
There are skills in cutting bamboo. If you cut it casually, this bamboo is really not that easy to cut. If you cut it straight, it will be like breaking ten chopsticks with your hands. It will definitely not break. But if you cut it diagonally, as long as the bamboo strips are blunt, you can easily make a big hole.
Choose a bamboo from the current year by the river. The bamboo is very tender and the taste is more mellow. When making dishes, the fragrance of bamboo is purer. Looking at the vintage of bamboo seems complicated, but actuallyBut there are rules to follow.
In those days of bamboo, the sepals at the bottom of the bamboo were not rotten or even intact. You can tell at a glance that it is from that year. The color of bamboo that has been growing for many years is very different, and the color of the bamboo joints is also very different.
In those days, it was easier to chop bamboo. With just two or three cuts, a bamboo as thick as a vegetable bowl could be chopped down to the ground by the riverside.
"Hey, it's so easy to chop?" Yan Yuan was very surprised. Such a thick bamboo was chopped down to the ground by the riverside.
"What's so difficult about this?" Jiang Bian said.
"Can I try?" Yan Yuan asked.
"It's up to you." Yan Yuan said.
The bamboos in the bamboo forest are so densely packed that it would be a waste not to cut them down. Unlike other tree species, bamboo can grow and even become useful in one year. This bamboo forest needs metabolism. If it is not cut down, the growth and reproduction of the bamboo forest will slow down, and eventually the bamboo forest will become old.
Old people in the village said that the large-scale drought in the early years of liberation had reached the bottom of the Lujiang River. All the food in the village was eaten up, and everyone was hungry. Some households had chickens that were too small and they were reluctant to kill them. They had no food to feed them and left them to fend for themselves.
But soon someone discovered that these chicks lived a very nourishing life, and their sacs seemed to be swollen every day. A householder who entered the house was very curious. When he touched it with his hand, he was surprised to find that there was food in the chicken pouch.
The next day, the householder paid special attention to the movements of the chickens, and found that they had all entered the bamboo forest.
After entering the bamboo forest, the chickens kept pecking on the ground, as if there was food on the ground.
When I took a closer look, I found that there were indeed small light yellow particles on the ground, like broken rice. When the wind blows, it seems like rain in the bamboo forest. All that fell down were things like broken rice.
When I looked up, I realized that all the bamboos had seeds, and they fell immediately when the wind blew.
The family quickly ran back to the village to report the good news. The village collected all the bamboo seeds. The huge bamboo forest collected thousands of kilograms of grain, allowing the villagers to tide over the difficulties.
¡°But after the bamboo forest blooms and bears seeds, they all die at the end of the year. Later, someone in the village read the information and learned that when bamboo was dying, it chose to bloom and bear seeds to maintain the continuation of the race. Therefore, although all the bamboos in the bamboo forest died, the seeds that fell in the bamboo forest finally started to grow again after a few years of rain when it rained.
Jiangbian handed the sword to Yan Yuan.
Yan Yuan took the knife and started chopping.
Yan Yuan's strength was very strong, but he was unable to cut into the bamboo like Jiangbian did. Instead, it bounced high and almost hit his forehead.
"I don't believe it anymore." Yan Yuan slashed with the knife again, but this time, he was careful to avoid the direction in which the bamboo knife bounced. Although it was also unable to cut in, it did not create any danger.
Jiang Bian smiled and said, "Just look at me chopping bamboo, and you'll know why."
Yan Yuan took a look at it and found that the bamboo piles cut by the river had slanted edges, and he naturally understood the mystery.
Yan Yuan adjusted the blade of the knife, and finally cut into the bamboo.
After using six or seven swords to finally bring down the bamboo, Yan Yuan felt a sense of accomplishment.
At this time, Jiangbian had already used the saw he brought to cut off several bamboo joints from the bamboo, and then took these bamboo joints back home.
In addition to the magical allusion, this kind of bamboo in Banshan Village also has another characteristic. Its bamboo joints have a fresh fragrance, and the fragrance of the bamboo leaves is also very rich. It is also a raw material in the Jiangbian recipe. For this reason, several bamboo trees were planted in the space along the river. By this time, it had turned into more than a dozen bamboos.
Jiangbian knows that if the bamboo in the space is used to make the fragrant bamboo grilled pheasant, it will definitely taste more unique. But he couldn't just get out the bamboo joints, so he went to the bamboo forest and first took a few bamboo joints to cover his ears and eyes.
Back home, Jiangbian looked for an opportunity and replaced the bamboo joints with bamboo joints in the space, and the bamboo used bamboo leaves in the space. Even the water used for cooking comes from space.
I found a suitable bamboo section with one end closed by the river, then cut the pheasant in half, put it into the bamboo section, added some salt to it, and poured in an appropriate amount of water. Then, twist the green bamboo leaves taken out from the space into a ball, stuff them into the bamboo tube, and tightly plug the unsealed end.
There was always a fire burning in the stove to keep warm. Jiangbian put the bamboo tube directly into the fire and placed it diagonally in the fire to roast.
This bamboo is not easy to catch fire. After roasting on the fire for a long time, the skin is only slightly charred, plus the riversideIt was impossible to light it by flipping it all the time.
After a while, white gas finally emerged from the bamboo tube, and a leisurely fragrance immediately filled the kitchen.
"Oh, it smells so good. Is it edible by the river?" Liu Ruxuan was a layman. As soon as she smelled the fragrance, she thought she could eat it.
Xiao Yalin smiled and said, "If you eat it at this time, it will probably only be medium rare."
"Oh, don't you smell the fragrance already?" Liu Ruxuan asked puzzledly.
"The smell can only mean that the water inside has boiled and the surface of the chicken has begun to mature, so the fragrance wafts out with the water vapor. But most of the chicken is still raw. You have to wait at least ten minutes." Xiao Yalin said.
