Chapter 197: Cooking by the Lake (Part 1)
Chen Mo closed his eyes, a happy smile appeared on his face, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Mobile
When he opened his eyes, Chen Mo's eyes were bright, his face was full of confidence, and he looked confident.
Putting down the bag he was carrying and opening it, Chen Mo took out a black pot, a spatula, and a small box for seasonings from the bag.
"Chen Mo, you still have a spatula in your bag?" Zhao Ling hurriedly gave the camera to Chen Mo.
"It's a must-have for a chef. Chen Mo smiled and asked the fishermen, "Where can I use a stove?"
Guihusheng hurriedly said: "Our family is cooking by the lake, and my stove is over there, so I'll bring it over immediately." ”
Movable cooktop?
It's quite advanced!
Chen Mogang finished sighing, only to see Hu Sheng carrying a coal stove, snorting and running over, and the raised tendons on his arms were particularly obvious.
"Dang" sound.
Hu Sheng put the stove in front of Chen Mo, and said with a long breath: "Here, this is it." ”
As soon as the coal stove was put down, someone came over with the burnt briquettes.
Chen Mo: "..."
Although the equipment is simple, it evokes Chen Mo's fond memories.
You must know that in the countryside, Chen Mo has been dealing with firewood for a long time, and it was not until he grew up that he had a coal stove, and then he began to use gas.
The fire of the briquettes was burning, and Hu Sheng brought over a small table and placed it aside, on which a lot of various spices were placed.
Chen Mo rolled up his sleeves and prepared to dry.
Over there, Zhao Ling had already erected the retractable tripod, fixed the live broadcast lens of the mobile phone, and then came to Chen Mo's side.
This formation is like a live broadcast of an outdoor food show, and the location is still on the edge of the famous Taihu Lake.
"Where did this kid come from, what is this for?"
"I heard that I came from Jinling, and I said that I was looking for food everywhere. ”
"It's not easy to come out at a young age. ”
"He's going to cook with whitebait? It's funny, isn't it delicious to have such a small fish?"
......
In the midst of everyone's gossip, Chen Mo put the back pot on the stove to heat it, and put a plate of fresh whitebait aside.
The Song Dynasty poet Zhang Xian once had a poem cloud, after the spring whitebait frost perch, the whitebait and perch are listed as treasures among the fish. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, whitebait was already listed as a 'tribute'. Chen Mo picked up the spoon and said in his mouth.
Zhao Ling stared at Chen Mo with wide eyes, her eyes were bright, and she said, "Chen Mo, I didn't expect you to be really a treasure boy and know so much. ”
Chen Mo smiled "hehe", said "where, where", and started the topic of "storytelling" again.
"About this Taihu Lake whitebait, there is a legend that it is the incarnation of Meng Jiangnu. Chen Mo looked at the live camera, his demeanor was natural, and he seemed to have entered the role very well.
"I've lived here for so long, and I didn't know that this little whitebait was a tribute, and there was a legend. A fisherman sighed.
Chen Mo nodded and said, "Legend has it that after Meng Jiangnu cried down the Great Wall, she ran to the edge of Taihu Lake and threw herself into the lake water, turning into a white silverfish. ”
Hearing Chen Mo say this, Zhao Ling looked at the blue waves of the lake, and on a whim, chanted: "Thinking of going to a thousand miles of smoke and waves, the twilight is heavy and the sky is wide", which is quite tragic.
Now Chen Mo is even more sure that this Zhao Ling is the female version of Liu Zongyuan.
The hot pot is finished, and Chen Mo has started to do it!
Although it was a whitebait that had just been fished out of the lake, it didn't move much after it was put on a plate because it had no scales.
Add the washed whitebait to refined salt and an appropriate amount of white wine, marinate and set aside.
Take out a small bowl, beat in two eggs, add starch to the egg mixture, make a paste, and then put the marinated whitebait into the egg mixture to hang the batter and put it on a plate to dry.
When the oil in the pan is 5-6 hot, add the prepared egg batter whitebait.
With the addition of whitebait, streams of fish fragrance mixed with egg fragrance continue to gush out of the oil pot.
"Wow, it smells so good. ”
"Fried whitebait? Why didn't I think of that?"
"You think it's going to be fried casually, don't you see that you have to do a lot of preparation, if you throw it directly into the oil pot, I'm afraid that such a small whitebait will become oil residue in a while. ”
As the fishermen talked, they stood on tiptoe and looked at the fried whitebait that was tumbling in the pan.
Chen Mo, who was closest to the oil pot, smelled this fragrance, and his saliva was about to flow out, this method of fried whitebait was still told to him by his grandfather at that time, but he never had the opportunity to use it, but he didn't expect to use it at this time.
Knowledge is indeed wealth, this sentence is true.
It's always good to learn something whenever and wherever you are, because you don't know when you're likely to use it.
Fry the battered whitebait with a spoon over and over again, and when the oil temperature rises, remove all the fried whitebait.
Deep-fried whitebait, success!
The whitebait that has just been fished out of the oil pot is golden brown all over, and the surface is still bubbling up, and the white heat is mixed with the thick aroma of fried fish.
Chen Mo couldn't help but take one and put it in his mouth first.
With a "click", Chen Mo's eyes lit up!
Too...... Mrs. Mrs. is delicious!!
Chen Mo himself never imagined that according to such a simple cooking method that his grandfather once taught, he would be able to make such a delicious fried whitebait!
A "click" sound rings in my ears.
Chen Mo saw that Zhao Ling was tasting a fried whitebait with relish.
"Hmm~~" Zhao Ling made a happy voice.
"In the past, when I hosted a food show, I could only watch the food every day, but I couldn't eat a bite, but now I can finally eat the freshly prepared food. ”
With the sound of "click, click", Zhao Ling quickly finished the whitebait in her mouth, and licked her lips unsatisfactorily.
"It's so delicious, it deserves to be the champion of our Jinling Youth Cup, I didn't expect such a small whitebait to be so delicious!" Zhao Ling praised without reservation.
"That's... Can we taste it?" Guihusheng desperately held back his saliva and asked Chen Mo cautiously.
What an honest Taihu fisherman.
"Of course you can!" Chen Mo finished with a smile and pushed a plate full of fried whitebait forward.
Fishermen who had been eager to try it out immediately flocked to it!
More than a dozen hands reached for the plate at the same time, and in just a few seconds, the plate was empty, only a little residual oil stain remained.
The sound of "click" came and went.
"Hmm~~ delicious, fragrant and crispy. ”
"Wow, this whitebait doesn't have any spines, and it doesn't smell fishy. ”
"I've lived in vain all these years, I didn't even know that whitebait was so delicious!"
"I've never eaten such delicious fried fish, it's much better than fried hairtail!"
The fishermen praised as they ate.
Zhao Ling's raised hand stopped in the air, and before she could take the second one, the fried fish on the plate was snatched up.
Seeing Zhao Ling's resentful eyes, Chen Mo hurriedly said, "I'll fry another plate." ”
I have a food house
