Chapter 700 Shaver
When Zhou Zhi and the others poured out the small trash fish they had caught and piled them in a pile on the cement floor, Jiang Hongxingtang’s guests couldn’t help but lament: “Why did they get so many?! My family They said there were more river catfish in the tank.”
“Where can I keep the river catfish?” Zhou Zhi found that there was no room here.
"I tied them with ropes to raise the fields." Auntie said, "This is too much."
"It's okay, there are many of us, let's do it together." Zhou Zhi knew What is Auntie afraid of?
There are also many good things in the dead fish. The girls are left with scissors to cut open the stomach and remove the internal organs.
Except for the water honey, which does not need to be scraped, the rest must be scraped with a knife or the back of a fingernail. Leave it to the boys to do this.
Zhou Zhi and Yang He were responsible for picking the shrimps, adding some salt to the water to make it easier for the shrimps to empty their stomachs, and then began to tear the yellow spicy dices.
This is a bit of a technical test, but the main thing is to be bold and decisive when catching the yellow pepper, so that it has no time to struggle, so that it will not sting your hand.
The thumb and middle finger are stuck behind Huang Lading's two horizontal pectoral fins. The thumb presses Huang Lading's mouth. Huang Lading can no longer move. Use another hand to cut off Huang Lading's abdomen. At the joint between the two cheeks at the bottom, tear it down and flick it, and a strip of yellow peppercorns will be done.
The speed of the assembly line operation was not slow, but it still took everyone more than an hour.
The miscellaneous fish were also sorted according to size. While Auntie was in charge of cleaning, Zhou Zhi and Jiang Hongxing started to lay the fire pit.
The fire pit is two troughs built with bricks. A pile of firewood is burned to prevent fire, and then it is planed and smoothed. A baking tool similar to a screen window is placed, and the miscellaneous fish is mixed with salt and tasted. , pour it on the fire pit and spread it out, it is considered to be baked.
Then you cannot move them anymore. You must wait until the bottom surface has dried to a certain degree of hardness before turning them over, otherwise the small fish will be turned over.
Actually, Zhou Zhi has a better way, which is to spread gauze and straw at the bottom, but that method requires the use of a large pot. It can be done at night in winter, but it will definitely not work today.
The dishes that were finally settled on were soft carp, pickled cabbage and spicy diced soup, dry-roasted honey seeds, stir-fried river shrimp with chili and chives, cold crucian carp and steamed croaker.
As for the miscellaneous fish and shrimps baking on the fire pit, they are considered gifts to be taken away.
Today's dish was very wasteful. Zhou Zhi first gave Jiang Hongxing the money to buy the big catfish, so that his aunt would no longer have any pressure on using oil.
Ruandu carp is actually similar to braised carp. Chop the carp into large pieces, coat it in flour and fry it first. Then use watercress to soak the ginger, pickle pepper, green onion and knots, stir-fry until fragrant, add water, add soy sauce, pepper and other seasonings, then add it and fry it. After the fish fillets are cooked until the fish fillets become juicy and fragrant, sprinkle with the remaining scallion knots and toss slightly before serving.
The rest of the dishes are simple, and the dry-roasted honey dumplings are my aunt’s specialty. They use diced fatty and lean meat from bacon to make the dumplings, which have the flavor of ham, and also add diced bamboo shoots. Dried salted vegetables with a little water, outstanding farm style, more aromatic than the city's dry-roasted rice dumplings made from fresh pork.
My aunt can no longer cook cold crucian carp, so she has to do it carefully.
In fact, just steam the crucian carp and let it cool, drain off the water, put it on a plate, and pour it with the special cold sauce.
The cold sauce includes minced ginger, garlic, raw chili, chopped green onion, chopped perilla leaves, green pepper oil, soy sauce and sesame oil. After spreading, pour a ladle of hot oil to stimulate the aroma.
My aunt was very happy to see it: "You mix this fish with elbows, there are more seasonings than fish."
"Well, this seasoning tastes good when mixed with beer!"
< br>
"Let's eat!" While Zhou Zhi was cooking, Yang He had already taken his friends to watch the fish in the bay where the river catfish was kept.
The big fish were surrounded by a large bamboo fence for ducks. The bamboo fence was inserted into the field, and a ditch was opened in the middle. The water in the ditch was thirty to forty centimeters deep, which could barely submerge the big catfish. inside. In order to prevent it from escaping, Jiang Hongxing also passed a rope under its chin and tied it to the fence, which was a double insurance.
The forty-pound catfish is almost one and a half meters long, not much shorter than He Shiqing.
Fang Dashuai, who had made great contributions to more than ten kilograms of small fish, was hit hard.
Fortunately, good food saves the day.
Everyone has a lot of activities today and works quite long hours. It’s already two o’clock in the afternoon and I’m very hungry.
The table was set up, and a large table was filled with people. Jiang Hongxing held out a jar of longan wine, a specialty of the island, and shared the wine with everyone with a smile: "Eat the vegetables first, eat more vegetables, let's Eat until you’re half full first, then open it up and drink!”
After speaking, he patted the jar and said, “I made this wine according to the recipe you gave me. Your fourth cousin is really good at it. Everyone says the wine is good.” There is an indescribable fragrance in it, which is very comfortable."
"Really?" Zhou Zhi felt itchy and took a sip before Jiang Hongxing asked everyone to raise their glasses. , smacked his tongue: "Huh? There is indeed a tail, it should smell like flowers and fruits, but I can't tell what kind of flowers and fruits it smells like. It's really strange!"
"So my fourth cousin is an expert!" Jiang Hongxing said with a smile: "With just a few medicinal herbs and longan fruit, I made the tail of the flower and fruit. No one would have thought of it before opening it!"
"This is a source of wealth, you guys are I won’t let my uncle suffer every time. Come on, let’s have a drink first, and then eat the fish!”
“Cheers!” This wine is nourishing, so girls drink it more Yes, everyone raised their glasses.
The fish is delicious, the wine is fragrant, and people are still hungry. As soon as the chopsticks are started, everyone can’t stop.
Jiang Hongxing looked at a group of dolls, smiled and said to her friend: "Children in the city are just prettier than those in the country. Don't you think so, Mr. Tang?"
"Huh?" Zhou Zhi looked up and realized that the girls, except Feng Xueshan, were all a little coy: "Huh? Are you putting on makeup on the boat? It's light, and you haven't put on eye makeup yet. You can't even tell it unless you pay close attention."< br>
A few girls became even more coquettish, and only Feng Xueshan smiled and cursed: "I want you to take care of it!"
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hongxing shook his head: "No, I am not talking about a girl. , I’m talking about you.”
“Us?” Zhou Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered: “Hey! I went out for a vacation and brought them a small gift-a razor! "
"No wonder!" Jiang Hongxing said with a smile: "The boys on the island are similar to you, but they have a ring of fine hair on their lips, and they look less energetic than you!"
"How dare you tell the boys on the island that you don't shave once for ten and a half days!" Auntie spat.
Although there are many people, there is also a lot of harvest, and the dishes are rich enough. Yang He also discovered a way to eat it, which is to pick the seasonings for cold crucian carp and put them in a bowl, and take the potatoes that Auntie cooked in the morning and let them cool. Eat with dip.
Zhou Zhi secretly tried it and found that it tasted quite good, so he also got a portion for Jiang Shuyi.
Liang Hong saw the result and stretched out the bowl: "Where's ours?"
Jiang Shuyi blushed and lowered her head to play with the potatoes with chopsticks.
