20. Golden eel
Gasping, Ao Muyang thought of the changes in the general who had just absorbed the Jindan water qi, these lobsters had changed too much!
It's not good! It's not good to be spotted with a lobster!
The decrease in the number of lobsters is not to disappear in vain, but that they fight each other, and once one lobster is ripped off the claw, it will be eaten by other lobsters!
There were still lobster remains in the fish pond, and there was a large lobster with a piece of tail meat in its mouth that was slowly chewing.
This discovery made Ao Muyang's scalp numb, how could this be?
There is a fence next to the pond, which is a small door made of bamboo, which can divide the pond into several pieces to divide different fish and shrimp.
He first separated the lobsters with a fence, and just after processing, Ao Xiaocal returned.
The boy had served lobsters yesterday, and if he had seen it, he would have noticed something strange.
So Ao Muyang stopped him and said, "Little Niu, what are you carrying in your hand?"
Ao Xiaoniu said with a smile: "I caught a lot of small fish and shrimp today, enough for big lobsters to eat for several days." ”
Ao Muyang took it and said: "Okay, I'll get it myself, that uncle will arrange something for you, uncle wants to treat you tonight, you go back to your mother to come over and help, eat well tonight." ”
Ao Xiaoniu was a young man, and immediately ran out excitedly.
The general squatted on the edge of the lobster pond and licked his mouth coveted, Ao Muyang went over to drive it away, the lobsters killed and devoured each other not because of hunger, they were competing for the Jindan water vapor in each other's bodies.
Similarly, it was not the lobsters that the general coveted, but the Jindan water vapor in their bodies.
Ao Muyang found that there were fewer lobsters in the early morning, but he didn't think much about it at that time, thinking that the general was stealing it, but now it is obvious that he misunderstood the general.
These lobsters were valuable, and he couldn't feed the general, so he pushed them out.
The general wagged his tail and saw a few dogs running into the mountains, so he chased them to play.
Ao Muyang put the dried shrimp into the pool, and the lobsters ate again, he poured all the bags of small fish and shrimp into it, and then covered the fish pond to prevent anyone from discovering the weirdness.
He cleaned up the kitchen and prepared spices and onions, ginger and garlic to cook.
Ao Fugui was the first to enter the door, he held a beer in his left hand and a woven bag in his right hand and asked, "Sheep, have a lot of wine to drink tonight?"
Ao Muyang said: "Yes, what did you take." ”
Ao Fugui smiled and said, "Good thing!"
He opened the woven bag, and inside were some yellow eels, which were golden, long, thick, twisting and sliding in them, full of energy.
Ao Muyang became interested: "Dig the ambergris lake?"
"Where else can I be?" Ao Fugui said, "I'm fine today, so I went over there to dig for a day, and I dug up so much, just under the wine." ”
The origin of the name Ambergris Lake is not only a legend, but also because it is indeed rich in products, and the fish, shrimp and crabs produced in the lake are especially delicious, as if they were indeed raised by the dragon's fairy water.
This kind of yellow eel is one of the delicacies produced in the lake, the name is golden eel, there is only one three-edged thorn in the whole body, the thorn is less thick, the meat is tender and delicious, and the nutritional value is huge!
Among them, the greatest nutritional value is blood tonic, qi invigorating, anti-inflammatory, disinfection, as well as aphrodisiac and anti-rheumatism, the latter two are particularly miraculous.
Which of the people living by the sea, especially the elderly, is not afflicted by rheumatism? The old people in Longtou Village are in good health, and the reason why they rarely get rheumatism is because they often eat golden eels.
In addition, the golden eel is one of the most important species in the competition between Longtou Village and Wangjia Village, and this fish is famous in Hongyang City, and many rich men are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.
Of course, they certainly don't eat it for the rheumatism of the golden eel.
Regarding the golden eel, there is also a local saying, called June beauty, yellow eel fat, men laugh, women called......
Because of the taste and medicinal effect of the golden eel, it is even said that this golden eel was also levied by the imperial court as a tribute during a certain period of the Qing Dynasty.
There are more than 20 yellow eels caught by Ao Fugui, with a length of more than half a meter and a small one of less than 20 centimeters, like chopsticks.
There are a lot of them, but the weight is not large, Ao Muyang said: "How did you get the cubs up?
Ao Fugui said: "I don't fish those dogs in Wangjia Village, they will also fish, they almost dug the edge of the ambergris lake, big and small." ”
Ao Muyang shook his head, he picked it, selected more than a dozen golden eels that did not grow long, and then raised them in a water tank.
Golden eels are very easy to raise, they can live for many years by putting mud in the tank, pouring water into the lake, and adding some small fish and shrimp as food.
These eels are the main course, and they are popular even in the big hotels in Hongyang City.
After bleeding and shaving the internal organs, he divided the eel into two parts, one for eel soup and one for eel segments, which was the most conventional practice.
The free-range chicken sent by Ao Mufeng was boiled by him, and there was still some clear soup left to drink, he just added water to boil the yellow eel, and then added a few wolfberries to it, ensuring that the soup made the man drink it twice as good and refreshing.
The eel section is a test of kung fu, but this is a piece of cake for Ao Muyang.
Ao Xiaoniu's mother and son arrived, Ao Muyang turned his head while cutting green peppers and said: "Sister-in-law Qiu Min, there are pork ribs in the refrigerator, you make a braised pork ribs, there are a lot of dishes in it, you look at a few." ”
He turned his head to speak, his eyes did not look at the cutting board, but the kitchen knife chopped on the cutting board as if it had eyes, and cut the green pepper into a well-proportioned one.
Ao Xiaoniu looked at it and was amazed: "Uncle Yang, your knife skills are really good!"
The fishermen don't pay much attention to drinking too much, as long as there are enough dishes to eat and enough wine to drink.
There was still fish jelly in the refrigerator, Ao Muyang took it out and cut it into slices, Song Qiumin brought some wild vegetables, he opened it and smiled: "Good thing, evergreen." ”
Evergreen is an ornamental herbaceous plant, and the 'evergreen' in Longtou Village refers to another plant, which is wild winter rape.
Winter rape is still green after winter, so they are called 'everypevine' and 'evergreen' in the local dialect, and it is the cabbage heart of winter rape that is used as a wild vegetable, which is the most tender in these places, and it is picked and dried in spring, and the cold salad is very delicious.
Ao Muyang did it himself, he rolled some peanuts and smashed them with a knife, stirred them with ham and Wan Nianqing.
Wan Nianqing has already been salted when it is marinated, so there is no need to add salt, just mix it with light soy sauce, oyster sauce and vinegar, and if you like to eat spicy, you can dip it in chili powder, which is more pungent in taste, which is definitely an excellent appetizer.
When night fell, Ao Mupeng, Ao Qianqi and other people on the ship arrived one after another.
Ao Fugui set up a table under the Guanxiang tree, Ao Mufeng brought a bucket of herbal tea, and they drank sweet herbal tea together.
Ao Muyang drank a bowl and said, "Well, that's good, you go back and add some mint to it, put less rock sugar, and change it to honey, it tastes better, and the effect of dispelling heat is also good." ”
Ao Mufeng smiled: "Wo Ri, you really know a lot." ”
The general came in from the door, blood was dripping from his mouth, Ao Muyang thought it was fighting, and hurried over to check.
When he reached the door, the general ran out again, and then took a hare with a bitten neck in his mouth and slipped it into his hand.
Ao Fugui, who walked to the door, laughed: "Wocao, sheep, your general has become a fine!"
