Chapter 43 It’s so hot, I want it again

Using salt water can certainly make many bacteria and insects run out, but it is not thorough.

But if you use salt water and add oil, the things inside can't be hidden at all.

After pouring all the snails into it, Li Chen began to remove the heads of the non-spicy space peppers.

Use a kitchen knife to gently make a small cut on the peppers, clean each one, and empty the pepper seeds inside.

Li Chen took out the remaining meat, chopped the meat first, and then mixed it with cornstarch.

When it is almost done, add a little edible salt, and finally add auxiliary seasoning.

Tap, tap, tap!

Li Chen's knife kept flying, and he also chopped the garlic cloves into pieces, and prepared the green onions, ginger, star anise, bay leaves, and cinnamon.

"Ba Ba..." Li Beiwu rested his chin on the armrest of the chair, staring at Li Chen with round eyes, watching him fill the minced meat into the peppers with a spoon.

"It smells so good!"

Li Chen smiled, and the little yellow dog below stared at him. Even dogs know what is delicious.

Li Chen had eaten this kind of dish occasionally before, and he also made it himself based on his memory.

As for whether it is delicious or not, it is really hard to draw a conclusion now.

The red peppers are all filled with minced meat, while the green peppers are steamed and roasted!

This kind of pepper will have the fragrance of firewood, and the taste is relatively pure.

If he was not afraid that Xiao Wu could not eat spicy food, he would not use this non-spicy pepper at all.

Wash the pot and boil water, put in rice, and start cooking!

At this time, layers of strange things have been driven out of the big iron basin of snails.

Wherever Li Chen went, Li Beiwu and Doudou, one person and one dog, followed him.

First, take out the snails and pour out all the dirty water in the basin.

Two buckets of clean water were taken out and washed twice again.

Li Chen took out a large pair of scissors, removed the tail of the snails, and threw them into a large bowl.

This is a hard job and takes a lot of time, but it is also very enjoyable when eating.

Just when Li Chen was concentrating on cutting the snails, he suddenly found a little hand reaching out.

Li Chen saw Li Beiwu holding her sleeve and clumsily wiping his sweat.

The little girl looked focused and serious, just like the focus she usually has when eating.

The little hand was very soft and small, and it was very difficult to wipe it. Not only could it not be wiped clean, but it also made Li Yi itchy.

"Xiao Wu!"

"Huh?" Li Beiwu stared at her own father with her dark and bright eyes curiously.

"Thank you."

Li Beiwu's little face blushed leisurely, and then she lay on Li Chen's back embarrassedly.

"Xiao Wu is still shy?"

"No!"

"Then why are you hiding?"

"I... I... I'm not hiding."

Li Beiwu put her little hand on Li Chen's back and giggled.

Li Chen let her do whatever she wanted.

Put the snails back into the water and wash them for a while.

There are some dried red peppers at home, and we need to pick some Sichuan peppercorns.

That's the good thing about being in the countryside. Almost everything that can be used is available.

Fresh Sichuan peppercorns are definitely fresh and spicy!

Wash and chop the dried red peppers. Also prepare some green onions, ginger, and garlic. Cut the coriander into small pieces. Bay leaves, fennel, and beer are all ready on the side.

At this time, the rice in the pot is cooked and steaming.

"It smells so good!" Li Beiwu licked his lips. In addition to the aroma of rice, there is also the smell of peppers.

This is steamed and fully cooked.

Put it in a large bowl, sprinkle some salt and pepper, and then hand Li Beiwu a small round wooden stick, saying: "Xiaowu, Dad will give you a task."

"Okay!" Li Beiwu immediately nodded excitedly, opened her arms and was carried to the chair by Li Chen and stood by the table.

"Twist it hard like dad!" Li Chen demonstrated to her.

Li Beiwu took it immediately, but her hands were too small, and she needed two hands to hold the small round wooden stick.

But you have to say, this little girl is still very capable when doing things.

"Woof woof——"

The little yellow dog Doudou was too short to climb up the chair, and could only watch the little master standing on the chair while he was spinning around anxiously below.

Li Chen cleaned the pot, heated the pot and added water, and when the water temperature rose, he put the snails into the pot.

Cook over high heat for five minutes, then blanch the snails and dry them.

After cleaning the pot, add rapeseed oil, and the sizzling sound with a very strong smell of rapeseed oil penetrated into the nasal cavity.

Li Beiwu fiddled with the peppers while sniffing her nose.

When the oil was 70% to 80% hot, add pepper, dried pepper, star anise, and bay leaves and stir-fry quickly to bring out the fragrance.

Then add onion, ginger, and garlic, and stir-fry evenly.

Li Chen picked up the bean paste on the side, scooped in two spoons, and then added a little salt and beer to stir-fry.

Although the whole kitchen was a bit choking, the fragrance was also particularly strong.

After frying, the snails were immediately put into the pot. Under the high fire, the whole fragrance became more charming.

Li Beiwu didn't know how many times he swallowed his saliva, and even forgot the work in his hands, staring straight in the direction of Li Chen.

After stir-frying, add perilla, and then collect the juice.

If conditions permit, you can pour in a little starch water, if not, it doesn't matter.

After the sauce is absorbed, it is taken out of the pot smoothly, and finally sprinkled with a little coriander, and a bowl of fragrant snails appears.

Li Chen turned around and saw his little foodie, and his eyes did not move.

"Do you want to eat?"

Li Beiwu nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Go wash your hands!"

"Okay!" Li Beiwu climbed down the stool and rushed out without saying a word.

In front of delicious food, she has no position at all.

After frying, the red pepper wrapped meat is completely fragrant.

Li Chen knew that what he did might not be right, and the main thing was to find the feeling. Of course, it was okay as long as he and Xiaowu could eat it.

Changing the way to cook delicious food for the little girl is what Li Chen enjoys most.

None of the three bowls can be considered as the main dishes, but Li Beiwu's eyes are flashing.

Li Chen carried Li Beiwu to the chair and brought her a small bowl.

"Ci Rourou!"

Li Beiwu's eyes fell on the red pepper wrapped meat.

Li Chen smiled and picked it up for her. Li Beiwu immediately smiled and said thank you daddy, then half-raised her buttocks and took a bite of the bowl.

"Hmm..."

Li Beiwu chewed and made a proud sound.

"Is it delicious?"

"Good!" Li Beiwu narrowed her eyes, "Dad, you are so awesome."

Li Chen was immediately happy. This little girl's mouth is really sweet.

Li Chen also picked one for himself. The red pepper was very tender. It was not the spicy variety. Therefore, when he took a bite, it was slightly sweet.

Then it was neutralized by the taste of meat.

At this time, eating it with a mouthful of rice, the whole person is too happy.

"Do you want to eat snail meat?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Beiwu nodded like pounding garlic, very excited.

Li Chen picked up a big one with his hand, picked out the meat inside with a toothpick, and put it into Li Beiwu's mouth.

"Hoohoo..."

After chewing for a while, Li Beiwu opened her eyes wide and looked at Li Chen with watery eyes and stuck out her tongue.

"Spicy, spicy, spicy..."

Li Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly handed her the water prepared on the side.

Li Beiwu raised her head and drank a big mouthful of it, and fear of the snail appeared in her eyes.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Are you still eating?"

He didn't put in much chili, but children really can't eat spicy food.
