Chapter 10716
“Although Fifth Aunt said that every other house has it, the one in our house is definitely the most valuable!” Yang Ruoqing said.
Wang Cuilian and Yang Ruoqing thought of going together and nodded lightly: "Your fifth uncle and fifth aunt are people who know how to repay kindness. This is to thank you for helping them take care of the yard during this time."< br>
“Yes, they are indeed such people.” Yang Ruoqing also said, and tied the bundle tightly again.
Yang Ruoqing said to Wang Cuilian: "Aunt, I will send the things back to the bedroom in the backyard first, and then go to the kitchen."
Wang Cuilian said: "Okay, then I'll go to the kitchen and wait for you."
Yang Ruoqing returned to the bedroom, put away food and clothing in categories, and temporarily pressed the two amulets separately on the Tuan Yuan Yuan. under the little pillow.
Children have weak yang energy and pure souls. If there are really things in this world that cannot be explained scientifically, then keeping these amulets with you will also be beneficial and harmful.
After doing all this, she went to the shower room again, washed her face, and made herself clean and fresh. Then she closed the door and went straight to the backyard stove.
In the kitchen, Wang Cuilian had disemboweled the five or six kilogram grass carp that Blacksmith Luo had caught.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming over, Wang Cuilian broke open the big grass carp that had been arranged into a flat plan and asked Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, is this the way to prepare grilled fish?"
Yang Ruoqing nodded happily, "Big grass carp" Mom did a great job cleaning it!”
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed how to eat grass carp today. Since they just ate minced pepper fish head and fish fillet two days ago, Yang Ruoqing suggested grilling the grass carp today. .
So Wang Cuilian asked what kind of knife skills are needed to grill fish.
The knife technique is also very particular. For the braised fish, it is to cut the fish from the side and then cut it into circles of fish pieces.
If it is pickled fish during the twelfth lunar month of the New Year, you have to cut it from the back, cut it to two-thirds, and then make a ninety-degree turn.
If it is steamed, open the sides and then apply a cross knife on the back of the fish to facilitate the flavoring.
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's praise, Wang Cuilian was a little embarrassed playing with the grass carp in her hand and said, "What's the point of this? It's similar to the pickled fish during the Chinese New Year."
"Oops. , in short, aunt corrects The knife has been modified very well. Look, the fish head has been chopped open from the middle, but the head is still connected and not really disconnected. It’s very good.”
Yang Ruoqing came to take it! The big fish in Wang Cuilian's hand was another rainbow fart.
Wang Cuilian was so embarrassed to stay here and listen to the filming, her face was so hot!
Seeing Yang Ruoqing holding the fish and marinating it, Wang Cuilian asked Yang Ruoqing: "What should I do next?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Auntie, rest first. Let’s start after a while of burning the incense!”
During this time of burning the incense, Yang Ruoqing wants the marinade to penetrate into the fish.
And taking advantage of this free period, she was free to prepare other ingredients for grilled fish.
Peel potatoes and cut potato strips, cut cucumber strips, wash bean sprouts, cut tofu skin, prepare fried peanuts, take out a handful of Sun's pickled sauerkraut from the sauerkraut jar and soak it, then soak kelp sprouts...
Ingredients such as kelp sprouts are common in the coastal areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
But here, especially in ancient times when transportation was backward, kelp sprouts were a rare ingredient.
However, the Luo family does.
This is money power!
It's a pity that there are no lettuce and lotus roots this season. I always feel that something is missing. However, the auxiliary ingredients for grilled fish that can be prepared on hand are enough, so be content with what you have!
Yang Ruoqing was busy preparing other ingredients for lunch. On the other side, Blacksmith Luo finished delivering the five-bedroom couple and temporarily closed the door to the front yard and went straight to the backyard stove. Fang came looking for help.
"Qing'er, I heard your aunt said that you want to grill fish at noon? I found the iron frame for grilling fish. Do you want to build a small earthen stove in the yard to set up the iron frame?"
Yang Ruoqing looked at the barbecue rack held by Blacksmith Luo and was amused.
"Uncle, today's grilled fish won't be cooked on this barbecue rack. I'll go into the pot and lean on it slowly." The fish body is golden brown on both sides and the skin is not broken, and the fish meat is almost half-finished, so it's almost ready.
In this case, Blacksmith Luo sent the iron frame back to its original place.
At the small pot outside, Yang Ruoqing fried the fish directly in the big pot. The fish was relatively large, and grilled fish needed to be dried whole and was not suitable for cutting, so the small pot outside was a bit too small and not suitable.
Wang Cuilian is responsible for filling the firewood, while Yang Ruoqing is frying the fish. This is a delicate job, and you have to work slowly and carefully.
While ensuring the uniformity of the fire, it not only tests the skill of the person holding the spoon, but also tests the patience, both of which are indispensable.
Finally, with the sizzling sound of steam coming out of oil, Yang Ruoqing expertly fried the big grass carp until both sides were golden brown. From the outside, she thought it was cooked.
She put the big grass carp aside, cleaned the pot, and started to prepare the side dishes she had prepared before.
The bean sprouts and bean skins are blanched, and the potato strips are fried golden and crispy...
When all this is done, she takes out a large iron rectangular tray that she has prepared, and first puts the The side dishes were spread out, and then the main character, the big grass carp, was placed on top of a thick layer of side dishes. Then, she started to season it.
The seasoning is to put all the daily ingredients in the kitchen at home in proportion. The grilled fish needs to be spicy to be delicious, but considering the two children, slightly spicy is ok.
The sauce is evenly poured over the fish body, penetrating into every inch of the fish. The excess sauce flows down the fish body, soaking and wrapping the side dishes.
The alcohol stove prepared in advance is placed on the dining table in the dining hall, and the grilled fish face plate is placed on the alcohol stove, and then the low heat slowly begins to heat.
The alcohol will be added twice later. When the rice is cooked, the grilled fish will be soft, spicy and delicious.
“Auntie, let’s cook the rice in the big pot, and I’ll make two more stir-fries in the small pot and that’ll be enough.”
"Okay."
While cooking, Yang Ruoqing steamed two small bowls of sesame oil and egg custard for the two children.
I peeled two sweet potatoes, broke off two corns, washed a handful of raw peanuts, and steamed them together with the rice.
This thing is called "Five Grains". It doesn't necessarily have to be all five kinds. You can steam whatever you have at home. Anyway, it has a meaning.
Imagining that fish alone is not enough, Xiao An is a young man who enjoys all kinds of meat, so Yang Ruoqing took out a piece of good pork belly slices, stir-fried the oil in the pot, and added various seasonings such as minced ginger and garlic. , finally add a ladle of water to cover and bring to a boil.
After boiling, I cut a whole cabbage into the pot and poured it in. Then I grabbed a handful of sweet potato vermicelli and threw it into the pot to stew.
Many people are used to soaking sweet potato vermicelli in water before putting it in the pot. Yang Ruoqing will only soak it in advance unless she is making a dish called Ants Climbing a Tree.
