After washing Sika's feet and face, Li Wanqi took it to the sofa to play.

She took out a cat teasing stick from the cat nest that had not been used for a long time and teased Sika.

Sika was lying lazily on the couch, occasionally patting his paws in response, but Millie was pounced on the side, having fun.

"Sika, you bad guy, do you know that you're going to film next week, and then you won't see your dearest master, and I won't see you when you think about crying. ”

Li Wanqi said with Sika's big face.

"Meow. ”

Sika replied lazily, I don't think you want to cry.

"When filming, you have to make a good impression on others, and if someone kills you, you scratch it with your claws. ”

Li Wanqi pinched Sika's little paws, pinched its little flesh pad hard, and the sharp claws came out.

When Sika first came, Li Wanqi also thought about cutting Sika's nails, but this guy refused to die, and he never cut it again, but when Sika played with her, he always put his claws away, and Li Wanqi didn't plan to cut it.

Millie also has small claws, but they are not sharp, unlike cats, rabbits can't put away their small paws, and their claws are used when walking or sitting down normally, and they can't be cut at will.

The big black fish that Sika caught today, Wang Huisu plans to use it to make hot pot.

The meat of black fish is delicious and extremely nutritious, and it is sold at a high price in the market, and it was also listed as a high-quality ingredient in ancient times.

In some rural areas, the black fish is also known as the 'filial piety fish', and only the elderly and pregnant women deserve to eat the 'filial piety fish'.

There are many allusions to the 'filial piety fish', the reason why it is called 'filial piety fish' is because the legend says that after the mother fish spawns, the body is thin and weak, and the eyesight is reduced and there is no way to hunt, just like the glaucoma of the elderly, some young fish feel sorry for their mother, they will take the initiative to drill into her mouth, sacrifice themselves, be willing to be an offering, become the food of the mother, and repay the grace of its nurturing.

This situation and this scene are deeply moving, so it is called 'filial piety'.

In some places, a large black fish is offered to the elderly to celebrate their birthdays, as a way to express the filial piety of the younger generation to the elders.

Of course, this is not the case under the modern science and technology shooting, in the long process of evolution, the black fish has developed the instinct of protecting the child, unlike many fish, they will not let the small fish go after spawning, but have been taken care of until the small fish can live alone. The mother swallows the juveniles in her mouth, not to eat them, but when in danger, the broodstock will hide the small fish in her mouth and release the small fish when it is safe.

This is also a manifestation of maternal love, but in the eyes of the ancients, they were more willing to understand and accept the touching legend of 'filial piety'.

Today is Saturday, May 12, 2018.

Tomorrow is Mother's Day.

Li Wanqi has been thinking about what gift to give Wang Huisu these days.

"Mommy, tomorrow for Mother's Day, what gift do you want?" Li Wanqi said at the kitchen door with Sika in her arms.

"Gift, I'm happy if you get into the top 10 in your class. Wang Huisu said with a smile.

"Uh...... I'm working on it, but what about this?"

"You are happy every day, you are learning and improving, and you are in good health, which is the best gift. ”

Wang Huisu took out a piece of ginger, "Come and shave ginger." ”

"Oh. ”

Li Wanqi put down Sika and went over to help with ginger.

"It's been a long time since I've played hot pot, the last time I ate it was the mutton hot pot I ate during the Chinese New Year, this black fish that doesn't slip in autumn, is it delicious to play hot pot?" asked Li Wanqi while shaving ginger.

"This is called black fish, the meat is firm, not fishy, it is the best to use it to play hot pot, you can eat it by rolling it, it is fresh and sweet, nourishing and nourishing, muscle and blood, people are eating it when pregnant women are confined, and it is also very good to boil porridge. ”

Wang Huisu began to deal with the black fish.

To make a fish fillet hot pot, no matter what kind of fish is used, the most important step is to cut the fish fillet well, to be thin and large, so that it is easy to cook after being scalded in the pot.

Black fish has no small spines, except for large bones, almost all of them are fatty fish, which is the most suitable for fish fillet hot pot.

Sika and Millie were squatting at the door of the kitchen, and the fishy smell wafting in the air made Sika like it very much, except for the small goldfish he raised that he couldn't eat, the rest of the fish Sika still liked to eat.

Millie hides behind Sika's buttocks, and doesn't know why Sika likes to watch these horrible scenes so much, and Millie is terrified.

After Wang Huisu kills the fish, clean it, and then it's time to show off the knife work.

Fillet fish is not as good as cutting meat, and it is difficult to make beautiful fillets if you are not a professional.

She prepared a relatively thin knife and a clean towel, the purpose of the towel is to dry the water on the fish, and at the same time hold the fish with the towel to prevent the piece from moving and slipping.

Wang Huisu first held down the head of the fish with her left hand, cut down from the neck of the fish with a knife, until the bone, and then changed the knife to cut the tail horizontally, this process she did very carefully, when cutting, the left hand pressed with a towel, followed the blade to move slowly.

In this way, the meat of the black fish on one side is cut in its entirety, and the meat on the other side is cut off in the same way.

"Mommy, do these flesh have thorns?" Li Wanqi said curiously.

"Blackfish don't have small spines. ”

Wang Huisu put aside the fish skeleton in his hand, and later fried the skeleton and the fish head in the oil pan for a while, and added hot water to boil the fish soup to make the soup base of the hot pot.

As she spoke, she slice the two pieces of fish skin downward, slice off some of the large bones on the belly, and finally cut the two large pieces of meat into thin fish fillets at a 45-degree angle.

The big black fish weighing six catties, after processing, was also filled with a large plate of fish meat, which was definitely enough for three people and a cat.

Li Wanqi curiously twisted a piece of fish meat and said in surprise: "It's so thin! When will I have this kind of knife work?"

"It's in the next life. ”

Wang Huisu patted Qiqi's hand, "Don't twist your dirty hands, these will go directly to the hot pot later." ”

After the fish was processed, Wang Huisu washed two lettuce, some white tofu, potato chips, bean skin, fresh mushrooms and other ingredients, and ate them together in the hot pot for a while.

"There may not be any fresh mutton in the market now, otherwise buy some mutton and come back and soak it with this fish fillet, then it will taste delicious." ”

Wang Huisu said regretfully, the good mutton on the market was picked early in the morning, if there is mutton together, fish and sheep, isn't it 'fresh'.

The fish bones and some minced fish meat that were sliced before, Wang Huisu sorted them out, added green onions and ginger to fry them in an oil pan until fragrant, and boiled them into a soup base with hot water, which was fragrant.

Li Wanqi sniffed her nose, and her eyes suddenly showed anticipation.

"It's so fragrant! The fish Sika caught is really very fragrant!"

Wang Huisu didn't use that kind of seasoning packet, he seasoned it according to the taste of Qiqi and Li Yumin, and after everything was ready, he could start shabu-shabu meat!

"Qiqi, help get the things out. ”

"Uh-huh!"

Li Wanqi brought out the ingredients one by one, Wang Huisu brought the boiler to the table, turned on the electricity and began to burn, the soup itself was hot, and it soon rolled up.

Before the fish was soaked, I could already smell the strong fresh fragrance.

Sika has already bitten his own small bowl and waited, how can there be no cat without such a lively thing as hot pot!
