Chapter 106 106. Mountain Chinese Cuisine

After twisting the neck of the pheasant, Ah Miao immediately dragged it back, and desperately asked Mr. Li to claim credit.

This pheasant is very beautiful, with a red crown, blue neck, yellow, brown, brown and purple feathers, dotted with various spots, and a tan long pheasant trailing on the tail.

Hans saw it, and smiled from a high place: "It's lucky, there is a roast chicken to eat at noon, this is a colorful pheasant, the wild meat is very fragrant."

Li Du threw the pheasant into the mountaineering bag and said, "I don't want to roast it, I'll make you stewed pheasant with mangosteen shoots. Well done, Miao. I'll give you the chicken legs later."

"Meow meow meow." Ah Meow yelled and moved her hairy head in front of him, making sure to let him pat her before she would leave.

With five people digging bamboo shoots, a large pile can be dug in an hour.

However, despite the large number of people, Mr. Li himself actually did the work. Hans took advantage of this opportunity to date Natalie, while Stephen and Hannah were flirting with each other.

After digging until noon, they found a mountain spring and decided to camp here.

Li Du poured out a bag full of mangosteen shoots and pheasants, and asked, "How much did you dig?"

Hannah's mountaineering bag was only half full, and Stephen was honest and willing to do it. Like Hans, the mountaineering bag was empty.

"You didn't dig any of them?" Li Du asked sullenly.

Hans sneered: "Isn't there seasoning, pots and lunch boxes in my bag? I'm worried that the bamboo shoots will crush them, so you know, haha."

Li Du did know what this guy did, and he could guess the answer just by looking at Natalie's flushed face and panting appearance.

But Hans was quite self-conscious. He took over the job of peeling the bamboo shoots. Stephen went to clean up the pheasant, while he honestly peeled the bamboo shoots.

Li Du looked at the edge of the stream, and there were some small fish swimming happily in it, which meant that the river water was very clean and could be directly used for cooking.

Stephen said: "The source of this stream is not far away. There is a reservoir on it. The water quality is very good. When I was in middle school, Hannah and the others often came here to fish."

Li Du walked up the stream, and he saw a small pond with several people fishing on it.

After cleaning up the pheasants, Stephen also went to have a look. When he came back, he brought two northern pike, which are common in freshwater rivers in the United States.

"I exchanged chicken intestines and viscera for two fish. I'm lucky. I can make grilled fish." He smiled happily.

Li Du nodded and said: "This pike looks good, you clean it up, I'll go to stew the chicken."

He asked Hans to bring a small pressure cooker. There was a lot of firewood on the mountain. After making an isolation zone, he lit the firewood inside and quickly started a fire.

Li Du cut the pheasant into pieces and threw them in to stew. He bought fennel, star anise, tangerine peel, pepper, and green onion, ginger and garlic from the Chinese supermarket.

However, this is pure pheasant and fresh bamboo shoots, so there is no need to put a lot of seasoning in it, otherwise it will affect the deliciousness of pheasant and the fragrance of bamboo shoots.

After peeling the bamboo shoots, Hans came over and asked, "What else can we eat besides stewing soup? We can't roast them here, can we?"

Li Du smiled and said, "Why can't you bake it?"

He took out the prepared aluminum foil, sprinkled some olive oil on it, then put sliced ​​bamboo shoots in it, wrapped it up and put it on the grill to bake.

After finishing this dish, he took out a pack of vacuum bacon meat from the bag, cut the bamboo shoots into thin strips, wrapped them in bacon, and put them on the grill as well.

That's not all, he used an iron lunch box to boil water, put the bamboo shoots in and boiled them briefly, took them out, rinsed them in cold water, and mixed them with chili oil.

There are also a few simple but chic side dishes such as bamboo shoot salad, green bamboo shoots with vinaigrette, and roasted bamboo shoots with soy sauce, so that when the meal is ready, there will be a bunch of dishes on the floor.

Hans kept blinking his eyes: "Schete, you should be opening a restaurant instead of doing warehouse auctions. I bet if you open a restaurant, you will definitely be able to get three Michelin stars!"

Li Du shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I do storage auctions, I'm sure I can become the king of treasure hunting."

If he said this when we first met, Hans would definitely laugh, but after hearing what he said now, Hans nodded in agreement: "Indeed."

Stephen asked with admiration: "Li, can I learn cooking skills from you? Hannah likes to eat Chinese food. I think my hands can not only hold wrenches and spray guns, but also kitchen knives and pots."

Li Du smiled and said, "Of course, just look for me later."

Stewed mangosteen shoots with pheasant is a hard dish. First, a bowl of soup is given to each person, and a chicken leg is given to Ah Miao.

Sitting next to Mr. Li, Ah Meow held the chicken leg with her paws, her big eyes narrowed into a slit as she ate one bite at a time, and she meowed twice from time to time, looking extremely cheerful.

The pure pheasant and the pollution-free mangosteen shoots, the combination of these two is like a dog for a long time. The meaty fragrance of pheasant and the fragrance of bamboo shoots are perfectly combined, and it is full of fragrance in the mouth.

After finishing a bowl of soup, Natalie said to Li Du: "Hi, Li, do you have a girlfriend now?"

"No." Li Du smiled.

Natalie nodded and said, "Very well, I announce that you have it now."

A group of people looked confused: "..."

Seeing their expressions, Natalie suddenly laughed: "I'm talking about Sophie, I gave Sophie to you, but there is one condition, I will have a seat at your dinner table in the future. "

Hans laughed and said, "As long as you are with me, you will always have a place at their family's dining table."

Li Du is not someone who can't take jokes, he said: "If you can betroth Sophie to me, not only the dining table, but also your place on my bed."

"This is so explosive, my God, four people fighting?" Hannah exclaimed.

Stephen picked up the lunch box and said, "Let's leave, there is no room for us who are pure."

The mangosteen shoots were not heavy after they were peeled. After eating, they dug some more. Li Du filled all three hiking bags before going down the mountain.

When they parted, Hans said to him: "By the way, the Flagstaff City Government will organize a talent recruitment fair this weekend. Don't we want to hire a porter? Go and see then."

Li Du nodded and said: "Okay, in addition, you should pay more attention to the storage information. We didn't make any money this time, and we must make some money next time."

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something, and pondered: "Actually, what do you think if Stephen can be the porter?"

Although porters have a bad reputation, this is an opportunity to enter the storage auction. With two people leading them, Stephen can start his own business in the future.

Besides, they can give him dividends during this period, so that he can also earn a lot.

Hans shook his head and said, "No, he is too honest, he will be eaten if he enters this industry. He likes cars, and repairing cars is his hobby. When he is skilled enough, I will give him the funds to drive a car with Hannah. Repair shop."

Li Du said: "You are a good brother, but what do you mean by the first sentence? Am I not an honest person?"

Hans sneered and said: "Except for being honest with women, you can't tell it at other times. You have cheated more people in the past three months than I have cheated in my thirteen years of work!"
