Chapter 68 Yellow Bone Fish
The crabs in the bucket were as big as Fu Jingyou’s fist. The two ounces did not escape. Some of the big ones probably had to catch up to the three ounces.
The June Child Crab, this size not only passes the test, but is also impressive.
Lu Miao was diverted and drooled at the few crabs that appeared from time to time and crawled sideways, "I was thinking this morning, what's the use of catching such a small crab? ? You can’t eat it...”
“Well, Fu Jingyou, can you steam these crabs together for lunch?”
Nothing could be fresher than June yellow!
Even if there is a shortage of ingredients and seasonings and you cannot make spicy crab, just steaming it is enough to make people lose their eyebrows!
Lu Miao was lying on the edge of the armrest of the recliner, smiling "hum hum hum", her delicate appearance concealing a bit of embarrassment and shyness.
Just like a kitten begging for food, it meows and wants you to feed it delicious food, but for various reasons, it hesitates to come close, or does not dare to enjoy the meal with peace of mind. Not easy food.
Familiarity is familiarity, but it does not conflict with the fear of rejection or being driven away.
Lu Miao took care of Fu Jingyou's sensitivity, while also carefully protecting her own sensitive areas.
But she was overthinking it, because in Fu Jingyou’s eyes, why are crabs and turtles so common in the lake?
Precisely because no one eats these things.
In the past, if the uncles and aunts in the team encountered a turtle or crab, they would either kick it into the lake, or trample it to pieces, then shovel it into the fertile land of the field.
Not worth it at all.
After pouring the crabs out of the basket in the morning, he hesitated for a long time before choosing to stay, waiting to see what Lu Miao would say at noon.
And to be honest, Fu Jingyou was quite surprised when he heard Lu Miao said he wanted to eat crabs.
Surprised that crabs are really edible.
Lu Miao wanted to eat, but Fu Jingyou didn't refuse. He fished out all the crabs and put them into the basin together, and asked:
"What should I do with the crabs?"
< br>
"No need to do anything, just put some water in the pot, put the steaming tray on the steamer and steam it!"
Lu Miao's eyes turned into crescent moons, her wish was fulfilled, "Hey hey hey", smiling sweetly and sweetly, " Didn’t I get a lot of ginger last time? Cut some ginger slices and steam them. , you can eat it directly after it is steamed, or you can eat it with some vinegar.”
The atmosphere was heightened here. Even though he had never steamed crabs himself, Lu Miao still jumped out of the lounge chair and was eager to try it. Di wants to help Fu Jingyou.
Lu Miao had been grilling outside all morning. Fu Jingyou originally wanted her to take a break, but at this time, whether it was yellow bone fish or crab, they were all things he had never eaten before. Although I know the general method, but I still feel it doesn't make sense.
It would be nice if Lu Miao could stay with me and keep an eye on him.
Fu Jingyou didn't shirk, he took the kitchen knife and put it in the basin. When Lu Miao took the basin to the well first, he went into the house and got the woodcutter.
He went to the bamboo forest behind and cut down a bamboo. He pulled off a handful of side branches and pulled off the bamboo leaves. Just like he brushed Lu Miao's shoes last time, he fiddled with it and tied it into a small brush.
He returned to the well and fetched a bucket of water. After filling the wooden basin, he first took out the crabs and brushed them clean before proceeding to deal with the yellow-bone fish.
Lu Miao had just finished peeling garlic in the house and was taking out a stack of bowls from the old cupboard and packing the peppers, green onions and other spices to be used.
Seeing that Fu Jingyou was about to kill the fish, she poked her head around, raised her voice and said crisply:
"There is a layer of mucus on the yellow bone fish. That needs to be dealt with too. It is the yellow layer. You can scrape it with a knife...be careful not to prick your hands."
Fu Jingyou is careful, Lu Miao was not worried that the knife would hurt him, but he was worried that the fish was slippery and the thorns on both sides of the jawbone would prick him.
Don’t look at the two thorns that seem to have no lethality. The most they will hurt is a little bit of pain. At this time, medical technology is backward. If you are accidentally stuck, you will get infected or have other problems. In good cases, even in serious cases, amputation is possible.
Lu Miao lowered her head to cut the dried chili peppers. She had just cut a few slices. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She raised her voice and shouted:
"Just chop off the head of the yellow bone fish!" "There's not much meat on the head anyway.
Fu Jingyou responded in a low voice, thinking that Huang Yatou had the killing method that Lu Miao said. He immediately raised the knife without hesitation, and soon the four fish heads that were still opening their mouths rolled to the side. .
He picked up the fish head, stood up and threw it into the woods behind the kitchen with a wave of his hand.
When he squatted down again, he began to carefully clean the fish intestines and the yellow film on the surface of the fish body.
After a lot of work, we finally got to the step of heating the pan and burning oil.
Fu Jingyou has never eaten yellow-bone fish and tofu soup, but he used to drink crucian carp soup when he was a child. The fish was always cooked and fried in the pot. With this in mind, he did the same.
Lu Miao was on one side and wanted to help, but she was really afraid of the oil splashing in the pot.
Stomping around in the kitchen, Lu Miao's eyes suddenly lit up. He took off the dustpan for catching rice from the wall and held it in front of him, and approached the stove again.
Fu Jingyou sighed helplessly, "If you're afraid, just go and sit aside. It's too hot to stand here."
"No, I have to keep an eye on it. If you do something wrong, what can I do?" Correct you promptly.”
He has the hardest mouth in his whole body.
Lu Miao was holding a dustpan, just like Captain America in the Marvel movie, standing next to Fu Jingyou at this moment. She said she was following, but in fact she was silently observing to see what Fu Jingyou did.
Fu Jingyou couldn't say anything, so he had to put his heart in the pot and think about getting it done as soon as possible.
His subsequent series of operations did not disappoint Lu Miao. Lu Miao was even surprised that he could still do this with soups and vegetables!
For example, after frying a few yellow-bone fish in the pot, push it to the side to make a little space, and directly pour in the prepared peppercorns, garlic paste, chili pepper and ginger shreds and stir-fry until fragrant. , directly scoop two ladles of water into the pot, cover the pot and bring to a boil. There is no need to pour it out, wash the pot, pour oil and stir-fry until fragrant.
Not only does it save time and work, it also saves cooking oil resources!
Lu Miao couldn't help but nod her head, silently keeping these tips in mind.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lu Miao nodding. Fu Jingyou thought she was confirming that the preparation of the yellow bone fish was fine. Unexpectedly, she opened the pot and opened the lid. She pursed her lips and asked uncertainly:
< br>"Is this good?"
Fu Jingyou nodded.
Lu Miao hesitated for a moment and said, "It seems to be different from what I ate before."
Fu Jingyou suddenly felt awkward and asked, "What's the difference?"
"Soup. The color is different.”
Soup? The color of the soup...
Fu Jingyou was stunned for half a second, remembering that Lu Miao had used soy sauce for turtles and mud frogs before. He half-believed it, took the soy sauce bottle and poured a little into the pot.
The fire in the stove was very strong, and the pot was bubbling all the time. He stirred it gently with a spatula, and the color of the soup became attractive.
He turned back and asked Lu Miao tentatively: "Is this right?"
Lu Miao's eyes lit up for a moment, "Yes! It's this color!"
Fu Jingyou He breathed a sigh of relief and put the lid back on the pot, not in a hurry to serve it out.
