Chapter 465: Grilled Fish Feast
The two of them first picked out more than a pound of fish and took it to be dissected.
Then pick out the trash fish such as crucian carp, white stripe, bearded fish, etc., and put them in a bucket.
The rest are all grass carp, silver carp, bighead fish and carp under a pound, if these fish are too small, they are not very tasty, especially with many spines.
Huang Yishan simply poured them into a bucket and carried them into a large vat next to the water platform in the backyard.
The big tank was bought when there was no running water, and there were many people in the family at that time, so they bought a very large tank, which is now used to store rainwater, water vegetables, and there are water lilies in it, and there are also a few small fish.
It's a bit quaint.
Shang Luoyu's fountain later also used this kind of water tank, which is probably inspired by this.
Forty thousand and Liu Lingyan followed him and came to the water tank, the two children were not half a tank high, and they kept screaming, and Huang Yishan took turns picking up the two of them.
After pouring into the clear water, the fish swims leisurely around, and the two children watch it with relish.
"Don't look at it, let's go back and grill the fish. After a while, Huang Yishan put them down, don't look at the child's small, it's actually quite heavy.
Siwan and Liu Lingyan didn't make any trouble, one of them obediently held his hand and returned to the front yard together.
Huang Yiming and Huang Yixi knew where to sell stone frogs, and they were very fast, so they bought fifty-eight of them and put them in the kitchen after a while.
It was also Huang Yixi's luck, there happened to be a family who went into the mountains for a few days and wanted to sell it in the market, which was all cheap for Huang Yixi.
Killing a stone frog is not complicated, first use a knife to lightly cut the tail of the stone frog, peel off its skin, and then remove the internal organs, remove the five tips, that is, the head and claws, rinse it under clean water, and then soak the stone frog in hot boiling water for a few minutes, remove and drain the water and cook.
The steps are simple, but most of the women are afraid of this animal, and Huang Yishan can't do it, so he can only ask the chef Huang Haitian to do it.
Huang Haitian rolled up his sleeves, his movements were very neat, and after a while, he finished killing the stone frog, and he was quick when he worked, not only killing the stone frog well, but also washing the bloodstained basket clean.
"Third uncle, you have to work hard for a while, so as not to spoil these good things." Huang Yixi hurriedly patted his ass.
"Put them in a basket and carry them to the front yard, and I will show my hand before the people, lest you come across such good things and waste them." ”
When I am a chef, my favorite is the diners, and usually, the villagers praise it, and occasionally there are bad reviews.
After all, he has not undergone formal chef training, and he can't be compared with the big hotel, but in the past two days, Huang Yixi's friends have eaten with relish, and Huang Haitian's whole person is radiant from the inside out.
At this point, he and Li Yuzhen are worthy of being husband and wife, and they both like to be touted by others.
Huang Yishan also likes it, but his hands are loose and not as stingy as this couple.
Huang Yidian is actually very strong, but his temperament and Huang Yishan are two extremes, he is tall and tall, and ordinary people rarely pay attention to it.
There is an earthen stove in the yard, and Huang Haitian is going to cook two dishes for the stone frog alone.
One is boiled stone frog soup, this soup is very simple, just now he killed the stone frog and prepared it separately on the side, remove the head and internal organs of the stone frog, keep the skin, and cut it into small pieces. Put the bullfrog pieces in the oil pan and fry it, pour in sesame oil, add an appropriate amount of water to the pot and simmer for about 30 minutes, and add an appropriate amount of salt before getting out of the pot.
There is not much soup in this dish, mainly for the three children Huang Xiangxi, Siwan and Liu Lingyan.
There is a folk saying in Baishui Prefecture that this kind of stone frog is the best to eat when children are just learning to walk, because the meat of the stone frog is rich in high protein, glucose, amino acids, iron, calcium, phosphorus and a variety of vitamins, and the ratio between essential amino acids in the muscle is more in line with the needs of the human body and is easier to be absorbed by the human body.
In fact, the stone frog is not only good for children to eat, but also for adults and the elderly, according to historical records, the stone frog that is known as "medicinal sores, longevity of food" is a precious mountain treasure in the imperial banquet of the ancient palace, and it is also a rare game and a gift on the table of the scholar class.
If there is a stone frog delicacy on the banquet of ordinary people's homes, it is enough to show the magnanimity of the host, and the guests are also honored to be praised as "a rare taste of the stone frog feast".
Huang Yixi saw that Huang Haitian put a bunch of stone frog meat with skin was not much, so he came over to beg for disgust, stone frogs are rare, or put a few more, all children can eat them, although Liu Lanhuang Xiangmei said that they were a little bigger, they had rarely eaten them before.
Isn't there a saying that it is better to treat adults than children?
Huang Haitian listened to it, mainly because he had many grandchildren, and if he ate them all, his family would not suffer. After listening to Huang Yixi's words, he took nearly half of the peeled pile according to his words.
Huang Yixi twitched the corner of her mouth, just now Huang Yiming said not to buy so much, she fortunately insisted on seeing it, bought 58 stone frogs with more than 11 catties, and spent 2849 yuan.
After the stewed stone frog was put in water, Huang Haitian did not rush to fry the stone frog, but instructed his wife to go to the kitchen to simmer a local chicken in a pressure cooker for later use, and then found an old iron pot with a hole in it, put it on the ground, took some firewood, put it in the pot, and then lit a fire.
The dry firewood burned easily, and when the firewood burned red, he took a bag of charcoal, held it and threw it in.
After a while, the firewood burned out, and the iron pot was full of red carbon fire, Huang Yishan took out the killed fish, and several adults washed their hands and put them on bamboo skewers next to them, ready to barbecue.
Honey, pepper, fine salt, chili sauce and other seasonings have been prepared, and the tools are also complete, all by his side, Huang Yishan is ready to demonstrate the skills of grilling fish to everyone.
If you want to make the dish delicious, the most particular thing is to use the right seasoning, there are two chefs at home, the seasoning is more, there are many rare seasonings on the market, and many of them are rare things in the countryside.
Huang Yixi only knew a few of them, cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise, etc., and she didn't even know incense sticks.
Li Yuzhen found the stone mortar, put those messy seasonings into the stone mortar and mashed them, and did not weigh them, Huang Yixi was a little afraid of whether the ingredients were poisonous, but when marinating these fish meat, the taste was very fragrant.
Brush with a layer of honey, sprinkle with a little salt, wait until the skin is wrinkled, and add the chili sauce and pepper.
When the seasoning is added, the surface of the fish begins to turn yellow, and the aroma comes out.
"It smells so good. The forty thousand attached to Huang Yixi's body sniffed and shouted.
"It's going to be right away. Seeing that he was greedy, Huang Yixi comforted him, and shouted: "Big brother and third brother, you go and bring the table out, take a few more plates out, and put the grilled fish in a while." ”
Seeing this, Huang Xiangxi also shouted in a milky voice, "Huang Yiming Huang Yidian, you go and bring the table out, take a few more plates out, and put the grilled fish in a while." ”
At his age, it was the time when he began to like to call the names of his elders, and as soon as he called, his grandmother Li Yuzhen smiled diligently, "How smart my grandson is, and he also knows the name of the third uncle." ”
The next generation is like this, and a grandson's fart is fragrant.
