Chapter 902: Fish Bites Sheep (For Ling Xiaoqi and Clan Bi)
Yaksha casually clicked on an auxiliary soldier and said, "You go with her!"
She immediately turned around and said to Tu Duan and Kachiha: "You two also come with me, and you have to help the fairy master carry the fish in a while." â
Yaksha glanced at the two of them and didn't stop. Although his two auxiliaries can cast magical powers, their own physique is not very strong, and if they really catch a big fish, they will indeed not be able to drag them ashore.
Ning Xiaoxian led the auxiliary soldier who looked like a toad to the seaside respectfully, which was more than a hundred zhang away from the fishing village, and no matter how good the eyes of the Yaksha were, he couldn't see the cattiness for a while. Then she gestured at her request, and the auxiliary squinted at her and said, "Hey, you're asking a lot." "But the Yaksha ordered him to come, obviously to help, and there was no way to refuse.
It was so ostentatious that it didn't want to plop into the sea, so it stretched out its hand and pinched the water trick, and the sea water in front of it was suddenly separated from it, and the big toad walked down with its chest up, until it was no longer visible in the blue waves.
Ning Xiaoxian couldn't help but sneer, and ordered Kachiha and the two to guard here, and she turned around and went back to the village by herself.
The Yaksha of the Patrol Sea looked fierce, but she couldn't even reach the entry level in the way of food, so with her ability to deal with it, it was naturally not too easy. However, she walked around the village to inspect, but her brows were slightly furrowed, and the reason was very simple: there were too few seasonings in this village, and she saw that in addition to salt, there were only two beets and a few nine-story towers that could be used for seasoning. The reason why the diet of later generations is ever-changing, in addition to the excellence of the ingredients, is not unrelated to the increasingly wide range of spices and seasonings used, and the cooking tools in the village are very simple, she has many tricks that she can't use.
This morning, the tide had just receded, and there were some fresh catches on the loess sculpture platform, she walked over to take a few looks, and her eyes rolled, and she fell in love with something. Immediately afterwards, it was found in the drying field outside the fish house, but this was the thing that the little baby of the fish took out to dry on the bamboo bamboo a few days ago. The people of the Xi clan like to dry the seafood that can't be eaten, and she was also surprised to see this thing, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but hook up, and she said that she had this baby, and she was afraid that you wouldn't swallow your tongue together!
At this time, the men who had been hunting came back one after another, and she picked a little yellow sheep from the prey that had dried the blood, and after shedding the hair, she took two large pieces of loin with skin, and threw them into boiling water to boil.
At this time, the toad auxiliaries had already come back with their chests protruding, and the two coolies behind them were indeed carrying a big fish. This big brown fish was more than four feet long, had a large mouth, had thorns on its back, was covered with spots, and weighed at least sixty or seventy pounds.
The people of the Xi clan have only seen such a big fish at the bottom of the sea, and they really want to eat it, unless the hurricane blows the big guys in the sea ashore, so they come forward to watch.
Ning Xiaoxian was very satisfied. This guy is a treasure among the sea fish - dragon grouper, commonly known as sea bass talc grouper.
In Huaxia, such a wild good fish has to be sold for at least one hundred and eighty yuan per catty, and this one on the ground alone is ten thousand yuan, and she named this kind of fish because it is not easy to catch it because it is inhabited at the bottom of the rock, so she can delay more time to make her prepared, who knows that although the Tao of this auxiliary soldier is low in her eyes, after all, it is an aquatic monster, and she is naturally restrained by the fish in the sea, and it does not take much effort to drive this big fish ashore.
Taking advantage of the crowd surrounding him, the auxiliary soldier with his back to the Yaksha suddenly winked his right eye at Ning Xiaoxian.
Tu Duan Shun lĂŹ succeeded.
She was immediately relieved, and the smile on the corner of her mouth had already swept away before she could condense, and then pulled out her fangs and gently poked the big fish to death. Taking meat from living creatures, she couldn't be so cruel.
Yaksha watched her cut two large pieces of meat from the fish, cut them at will, and then threw them into a wok and boiled them with the mutton, and then went on to take care of other things. In addition to the fact that the technique looked particularly skillful, he didn't see anything special, he couldn't help but snort from his nose, and secretly said that if it wasn't delicious for a while, Lao Tzu would take you to fill his stomach. When he was waiting for food, he had nothing to do, and when he saw the fish, he couldn't help but feel big, and hugged her into the house.
In this era, there is no door in the house, and those who really want to peep can see the light at a glance as long as they lie on the door. Although no one in the village had the courage to do this, the sound of humming and chirping from the house reached the ears of many people without concealing it.
Ning Xiaoxian took a sip secretly, and said in his heart that after the transformation of the Patrol Yaksha, he looked like a human, but he did not get rid of his crude and ferocious nature inside, and turned a deaf ear at the moment, concentrating on the things at hand.
âŚâŚ
Half an hour later, the Yaksha paced out of the house, and the food was ready.
In front of him were two large clay pots.
One was filled with soup, the color of the soup was milky white that he had never seen before, and it was extremely fragrant. A salt babe covered with snowflakes, and in the salt bait stood old clams, as if they had lived in the mudflat.
"What is this?" he tapped on the soup pot.
"Fish and sheep. â
Isn't it just a matter of putting the fish and mutton in the pot and boiling it? Yaksha snorted, he had eaten boiled fish here before, and although it tasted fresh, he was tired of eating it. Now the little girl volunteered, and he thought that she had a lot of skills, but she just put a few more pieces of mutton in it. Look at her ordinary, but she has fine skin and tender meat, and she will be boiled and eaten in a while.
Thinking so, he scooped up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, he wanted to complain a few words, but he didn't know that his tongue tasted this, and he couldn't turn it for a while, he only felt that a fresh spirit permeated from head to foot. He swallowed another piece, and his mouth was still unsatisfied, so he simply picked up the big basin and poured half a pot of milk soup in one gulp, and then he let out a long breath, as if all the internal organs were transparent.
Ning Xiaoxian didn't feel strange when he saw him eating ginseng fruit, but tilted his head and asked, "Do you think it's okay adults?"
Patrol Yaksha hiccuped, "It's okay, it's okay." "Reach out and break the razor clams inserted in the salt pile, this thing is hot in the hand, but when you peel it off, the clam meat inside is snow-white, and when you chew it, there is a large bag of sweet juice overflowing the tip of the tongue, and occasionally two salt grains are also merged into the mouth, but with the smell of firewood, it is indescribably delicious.
He had also eaten this thing in the sea, and he was covered with mud and sand, and it smelled so fishy in his mouth, how could it be so fragrant when he boiled it with salt?
Ning Xiaoxian watched him eat twenty or thirty in a row, and suddenly said, "Lord Yasha, may I survive?" She has always been accustomed to holding her life in her own hands, and she can't lure this monster just by virtue of the beauty of the fish, she wants him not to go back on his word, because maybe this monster will cooperate with her in the future.
Patrol Yaksha was eating heartily, and he didn't like anyone to disturb him, so he just waved his hand when he heard this, and said impatiently: "Yes, get out." â
She smiled, retreated into the room, and paced to Changtian's side.
At this time, the monsters have not yet appeared as treacherous and cunning as Miluo in later generations, and they are still simple people, so the opening of the Yaksha means that everyone's lives are safe.
For her, these two moves are just a small test. The village is scarce, so the food she takes out must be simple to season, which can highlight the umami of the material itself. Although salt-baked razor clams are extremely simple, they are enduring in the coastal areas of China, and naturally there is a reason for it. Best of all, this dish is so simple that it only needs to be salted, but the coarse sea salt is picked from the reef, which is perfect for cooking.
As for the other dish of "fish and sheep belly", it is just the name she casually uttered, the real name of this dish is "fish bite sheep", the most authentic method is to stuff the lamb into the belly of the osmanthus fish and cook it together, after this legal system, the fish is not fishy, the sheep is not fat, and it is very delicious. But if she wants to get an auxiliary soldier to go out and do everything for Tu Du, she can only ask for big fish by name. Sixty or seventy pounds of dragon hair, even in modern China, she can't find a few cauldrons that can be cooked, let alone the Xi Village, so she only made a condensed version to deal with the Yaksha.
The origin of the word "fresh" is originally the combination of fish and sheep. Qi Huangong, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, was good at adjusting the five flavors of his imperial kitchen, and pioneered the method of "hiding sheep in the belly of the fish", so the descendants formed the fish and sheep into a "fresh" word. However, Yiya originally steamed the turtle and the sheep, this famous court dish in the Southern Song Dynasty is also known as "turtle steamed sheep", the real "fish bite sheep" is a classic in the traditional Hui cuisine.
However, these two things are not enough to make Yaksha eat without fault, because she has no green onion and ginger in her hands, no soy sauce, star anise, no Shao wine and rice wine, without these seasonings, the soup she makes is just an ordinary taste, far from amazing.
The real decay turned into a magical killing weapon, but it was the thing she found on the bamboo bamboo of the fish. It looked like a fat maggot, the length of a tail finger even when dried, and was a mollusk that the Hispanics had pulled out of mudflats or crevices in rocks. She has no psychological burden on eating sea worms, because the main ingredient of a delicious "bamboo shoot jelly" on the coast of Fujian Province in China is actually a sandworm on the tidal flat.
And this kind of sea insect caught by the Xi family also has a well-known name in China - sea intestines. It is only produced in Bohai Bay, with the effect of warming the liver and kidneys, aphrodisiac and solidifying essence, it can be said to be a man's blessing, but there is still a secret hidden in this thing: if the sea intestines are dried and ground into powder, and added to the dishes and boiled, it will produce a particularly delicious and special taste.
This taste is very similar to the condiment that modern people are very familiar with, that is, monosodium glutamate.
Many people in China are tired of its taste and refuse to add it to their dishes, but don't forget, for first-time diners, it's really delicious. R1152
