Chapter 198: Taihu Silver Knife

Chen Mo just put a plate of fried whitebait away, and was immediately swept away by the fishermen of Taihu Lake. Mobile

This is already the fifth set!

And Chen Mo just grabbed one of each plate when it was just fried, and then the plate was gone.

"Chen Mo, these fishermen's appetites are really good, this is the fifth plate, I only ate four fried fish, the more I eat, the more hungry I become. Zhao Ling said with a smile.

"It is understandable that the fishermen who live on the shores of Taihu Lake have never eaten whitebait as a cuisine, and today when they encounter this kind of opportunity, I am afraid that it will completely explode. Chen Mo said as he put the sixth plate of fried whitebait on the table.

Zhao Ling ignored her ladylike image and quickly carried two silverfish.

"Click"

Wait, something seems wrong.

No one stepped forward to grab this plate of fried whitebait.

Just when Chen Mo was puzzled, an old man with frosty bones and frosty hair leaned over, supported a cane, and slowly walked out of the crowd with the support of Guihusheng.

The old man was very thin, with almost no excess flesh on his cheeks and thin cheeks on his face

It was already a little sunken, the white hair and beard were snow-white, and the beard was very long, almost reaching the chest.

However, although the old man is not young, he seems to be in good spirits.

Looking at the old man's open squinting eyes, Chen Mo suddenly remembered Master Hong from Jiangning.

"Hello young man, I heard that your whitebait dish is delicious, and I want to try it. Although the old man's voice was not loud, his breath was long, and his breath was not weak.

"Chen Mo, this is my grandfather, named Gui Fusheng, and he is the village chief of our Taihu Lake Fishing Village. Guihusheng introduced.

Fusheng... Husheng... It's all good names.

"Old village chief, hello, you have a tooth, is it okay to eat this?" Chen Mo said loudly.

The village chief closed his eyes, raised his hand and waved vigorously, and said to Chen Mo: "Although I am old, my ears are fine, you don't have to speak so loudly." ”

Chen Mo hurriedly laughed "hehe".

The village chief stepped forward and took a closer look at the fried whitebait on the plate, and a smile appeared on his face, and many folds suddenly floated.

"I have good teeth, and I even gnawed on pig's feet during the Chinese New Year last year. After the village chief finished speaking, he couldn't wait to pick up a fried whitebait and put it in his mouth.

"Click"

The village chief ate with relish, his mouth fluctuated a little, but the smile on his face never disappeared.

"It's delicious, it's really delicious!" the village chief said clearly, and the corners of his eyes, which were not big, narrowed into crescent moons, "I didn't expect that this little whitebait tastes so good, fresh but not fishy, fragrant but not greasy." ”

After speaking, the village chief ate a few fried whitebait in a row, and everyone gathered around quietly watching the old man eat one after another, but no one went to the plate to take the whitebait to eat.

While eating, the village chief suddenly stopped his movements and froze on the spot.

I saw the old man retract his hand stretched out to the plate, stomped the cane on the ground with his left hand, and said angrily: "I knew that those foreigners didn't have a good heart, and came to build a factory to buy our whitebait, it turned out to be such a delicious ingredient, but alas, it's all my fault, as the head of a village, I didn't find the value of whitebait, and I, the village chief, am incompetent!"

Guihusheng hurriedly stepped forward to hold the old village chief's arm, and said urgently: "Grandpa, this can't be blamed on you, salvaging whitebait and selling it to the factory is the result of the discussion of our whole village, only blame us Taihu people, who have grown up in Taihu Lake all our lives, but we have not found the treasure of whitebait." ”

"Ahh

"Actually, your treasure is not only a whitebait, this Taihu Lake Sanbai mentioned by Chen Mo's mouth, there are two more. Zhao Ling said.

"Oh?" the village chief hurriedly raised his head, looked at Chen Mo and Zhao Ling with hope, and asked, "You mean 'Taihu Sanbai'?"

"Do you know?" Chen Mo was a little surprised, thinking that no one here knew the saying of "Taihu Lake Sanbai" anymore.

The village chief nodded slightly, his eyes were a little confused, as if he was recalling something, and said after a while: "When I was very young, I seemed to have heard of the saying 'Taihu Sanbai', but I actually didn't know what this Taihu Sanbai was referring to, I always thought it was some treasure sunk in Taihu Lake." ”

Chen Mo once again popularized science: "Taihu Lake Sanbai, in fact, refers to the whitebait, white fish and white shrimp here in Taihu Lake, and the aquatic products in these three lakes are called Taihu Lake Sanbai." ”

"So to put it this way, our white fish and white shrimp are also good ingredients?" the village chief hurriedly asked.

"Of course. After Chen Mo finished speaking, he immediately asked the surrounding fishermen, "Who can give me a white fish?"

As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged fisherman walked out of the crowd, holding a small white fish in his hand and said: "I have one here that has just been fished out of the lake, and I originally planned to sell it at a good price in the factory, but when I heard you say this, I don't want to sell it, so I will give it to you to see if you can use it to make delicious food." ”

Chen Mo stepped forward to take the white fish in the hands of the middle-aged fisherman and said, "Look at this white fish, the fish is long and narrow, with fine bones and scales, and the silver light is flashing, it seems to be a little fierce, and it doesn't look very delicious." But in fact, this fish has a lot of fat under the scales and the meat is tender, making it a very good fish food. ”

"Yes, we fishermen make a living by catching and selling fish, and we sell some of the white fish to the factory, and there are some lean ones left, and no one eats them, because these fish look a little fierce and should not be very tasty. Said the middle-aged fisherman who provided the white fish.

"yes, we used to grill this kind of fish, and it wasn't very tasty. A small child continued.

White fish for grilling?

What a waste of ingredients.

Chen Mo untied the oil bag, threw it out, and the parcel was spread out, and there were seven knives inside, from large to small, from long to short, from wide to thin, from left to right, emitting a glittering white light in the sunlight.

"White knife with white fish, it's a perfect match. ”

Chen Mo picked out the third knife placed on the right side, the Dragon Sparrow.

Dragon sparrow has a unique advantage in making fresh aquatic dishes.

The iron ring on the body of the dragon bird knife slashed over the body of the fish, scraping off the scales one after another, and the body of the fish became smooth and clean.

Chen Mo said while handling the white fish: "This white fish is the same as the whitebait just now, it is not an ordinary ingredient. This white fish has a nickname, called Taihu Silver Knife. ”

"And the fish called the knife?" Zhao Ling hurriedly asked.

Chen Mo nodded and said, "That was the last year of the Ming Dynasty..."

Chen Mo looked at the text displayed after the Eye of the Titan scanned the white fish, and said synchronously: "At the end of next year, Zhang San, a fisherman from Taihu Lake, led a group of people to fight fiercely in this Taihu Lake with the Qing soldiers who went south..."

I have a food house
