Chapter 1925: The people who toast together love to drink even more
"Erxia's family is doing much better this year. There is an older brother in the family who works on the construction site with his father. Together, the two of them earn 500 yuan a month. My mother digs mushrooms and dries them. Fern Ya has also made a lot of money this year, which is much better than in the past few years." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I brought it back this time. It’s time to distribute the quilts again. I will take you to visit your home tomorrow and let everyone meet the new English teacher in the school. I will also bring the quilts to them.”
“What kind of English teacher am I?” "Although Mai Xiaomiao said this, she was actually a little proud of her identity. In the end, she still made Zhou Zhi laugh.
Dry-roasted fish is a classic dish in Sichuan cuisine. The specific method is to fry the fish first, then cook it in the sauce until it is delicious and the juice is reduced. There is no oil on the plate but no juice, and the taste of the soup is They were all put into the fish meat and cooked dry.
The reason why this dish is difficult to make is that it requires all kinds of basic cooking skills. In addition to knife skills, fire skills, seasoning, and heat are actually very demanding. It is difficult for someone who is not a master of cooking to cook it well. .
Don’t choose a fish that is too big. An elegant fish of about one pound is the most suitable size.
Many people fail at the first step of frying the fish when making this dish.
The trick to frying fish is to dry the fish that has been seasoned with onion, ginger and salt with kitchen absorbent paper or a clean towel inside and outside. Heat the pot until it is boiling hot and then add cold oil to the pot. When the oil warms up, Pour out the hot oil and stir it with cold oil again so that the pot won't stick.
The next step is to fry the fish. At this time, the fire must be reduced. Do not flip the fish after putting it in, otherwise the fish will rot. Wait until one side of the fish body loses enough water and turns brown. Flip and fry the other side so that the fried fish will be complete.
Dry-roasted fish must be served with crispy pork belly. After frying the fish, add minced pork belly in the pot and stir-fry until the minced meat turns into dry and crispy small oily residues. Scoop it out and set aside.
At this time, the oil in the pot has turned into a combination of meat and vegetables. This kind of oil will taste delicious no matter how you cook it.
The next step is to stir-fry the ingredients. Add the scallions and fry them until they are charred black to make the scallion oil. Add the pickled ginger and pickled chili flakes and stir-fry. Add the watercress and stir-fry the red oil. Add a spoonful of sugar to make it fresh. Add soy sauce and pour in stock to make a sauce.
After the sauce is boiled, remove the battered onion segments and residue, add the fried fish and cook.
Cook until the fish is fragrant, then open the lid, add the previously fried pork belly to reduce the juice, add the green onion slices halfway through, wait until the juice has dried up, and the green onion slices are just cooked and fragrant, pour a circle of vinegar on the side of the pot, You can start the pot.
It is very simple to say, but every step has very high requirements. Of course, if every step is done well, the finished product will definitely be amazing.
Ya fish is a fish with fine scales. Zhou Zhi did not remove the scales when making this dish. The fried fish scales will become loose and puffy. When exposed to the sauce, they will turn into colloids during the cooking process. In the end, the thickening step is also included. No need, in Sichuan cuisine this is called "Zilai Gorgon".
Compared with dry-roasted fish, another pickled cabbage fish soup is too simple.
Take out the sauerkraut, chop it and squeeze it dry, put it in a hot pan without oil and stir-fry until the sauerkraut becomes dry as a whole, then add lard and fry it.
Then add boiling water to make pickled cabbage soup. After cooking for a few minutes, add turtles such as triangular peaks, oxtails, and loaches and cook them. Add salt to adjust the taste to the right one. Sprinkle with chopped green onion and serve. .
Because he wanted to drink soup, Zhou Zhi did not pour chili oil on the pickled fish and instead made paste of chili paste for dipping in water.
Although Mai Xiaomiao has the potential to be a "broad-spectrum" foodie, he still can't accept the taste of wood ginger oil and wood ginger powder, so Zhou Zhi can only add them to his own dipping water.
This thing is paired with pickled fish, which is a must-have in Zhou Zhi's opinion. This view is also agreed by Lao Chiri, Tu Liangzhi, and Jile Abi.
Seeing Lao Chiri take out the local wine jar containing grain wine again, Lu Hui and Hao Chunwang were so frightened that they waved their hands repeatedly as they walked in: "No way, I can't come, why don't we drink a lot today?" Bar..." "I can usually drink a lot of wine. Today I have cooked some delicious food. I'm sorry if I don't take a drink..." Tu Liangzhi coaxed him, and Zhou Zhi just got himself involved.
However, Zhou Zhi only had a taste of it today. His reason was very strong. He had to build a new system in the evening, which was also a national project and could not be delayed.
Mai Xiaomiao nodded repeatedly while holding a rice bowl filled with dried roasted fish, indicating that this was true.
“There is a sword hidden in Yayu’s head.” At the dinner table, Zhou Zhi explained the characteristics of Yayu to Mai Xiaomiao: “Here, you can also get a fish head, and I will teach you how to find it.”< br>
In fact, if you want to play with Yayu's sword, it is best to make fish soup. After being fried and cooked like dry roasted fish, Yayu's sword will lose its flavor and lose its play value.
But there is no problem in getting the exclamation of Mai Xiaomiao who has "never seen the world". After a while, Mai Xiaomiao followed Zhou Zhi's example and took out a fish head from the fish head. It is made of a small bone, and the sword has a body, a hilt and a sword pattern, exactly like a sword.
“It really does!” Mai Xiaomiao felt that she could gain a lot of strange new knowledge every day: “Why is this?”
"There is no reason for this, it's just a coincidence. For example, there is a place in the body of a hairy crab that looks like a little Arhat, and the pharyngeal bone in the body of a big herring, which is used to crush screw shells, can actually be picked out and played with," Zhou Zhi said, "As for whales Beard, one horn Whale teeth, they have been exploited for many years."
"Longmen array wants to sell medicine, and you have to go down with a clear cup in front of the door..." Old Chi Riyi. Lun Jiu came to Zhou Zhi again: "Xiao Miao is not picky at all. She eats everything, she’s such a good girl! Why don’t you come with me?”
Mai Xiaomiao happily picked up the sake cup: “Well, Grandpa Chiri, I and I wish you good health every day. Happy! ”
Lao Chiri looked at Zhou Zhi, then at Xiaomiao, and laughed and said: "Okay, you two served together, grandpa likes to drink more!"
After dinner, the two finally got down to business. Alright, I got into the study and started logging in remotely.
It's late autumn and the weather is a bit cold. Zhou Zhi remodeled the study and added a computer console on the left hand side of the door. Behind the console are two swivel chairs. Behind the swivel chairs is a wooden table with an electric tea table on it. Make tea, and there is a lacquerware treasure box, which contains melon seeds, peanuts, pine nuts and other nuts, as well as some candies.
When people sit on a swivel chair, they can work towards that end, and they can enjoy it when they turn 180 degrees.
"Your study is so beautiful..." Mai Xiaomiao still couldn't express the Chinese word "elegant", but the layout of the room made her feel more comfortable.
Whether it is the various colored log furniture around, the iron stove copper kettle on the table, the original and rustic porcelain, and the exquisite lacquerware, they all give people a sense of peace and tranquility. When you come to this room, your mind seems to be It’s different.
"Read everything in bits and pieces, and sort it out when the time comes." Mai Xiaomiao looked at the couplets written on the wall by Zhou Zhi: "Did you write this? I discovered another talent of yours! ”
The inscription on this painting is simply two words "Zhou Zhi" and two seals, so it is not difficult for Mai Xiaomiao to recognize it.
As soon as Zhou Zhi heard this, he knew that Mai Xiaomiao did not understand calligraphy and said with a smile: "I was forced to practice by my parents when I was a child, so I was just so-so."
"The writing is very beautiful! These two sentences are so beautiful. What does it mean? ”
