Chapter Ninety-Six: The Eel

The meal was ready, and the parents came back with the babies.

When I entered the door, my father spoke: "Why did you get a car back again, and how much does it cost?"

Li Junge said: "Isn't it convenient to pull things, your more than ten fish ponds are about to be cleared, and the old user's agricultural technology station Mr. Wu's car is not suitable, and when the time comes, you can use the equipment to pull fish fry or something." ”

The old father smashed his mouth, and the baby's stall is getting bigger and bigger.

Liang Huili pursed her lips and smiled, thinking that you haven't seen your son's letter of intent to contract, I'm afraid it will scare Uncle Li if you take it out.

The little babies shouted uncles and aunts noisily, and they made a mess.

Li Junge hurriedly shouted: "Go wash your hands, let's start eating." ”

This table is not enough to sit, so it is simply divided into two tables, and the adults and children are separated.

Li Junge took out another jar of orange wine, mixed some honey from the forest farm, and everyone began to eat and drink.

Zhu Chaoan said: "I'm surprised, why are your lettuce so delicious!"

This green bamboo shoot was made by Li Junge from the space, and everyone felt that the taste was fresh and unusual lettuce.

Xiaomei didn't drink, took a sip of rice, and said, "Well, that's it, even the rice is fragrant." ”

Li Junge said: "This rice is the new rice that was only beaten two days ago. ”

Then he turned to his father and said, "By the way, after this grain is beaten, is there time to make a fish pond?" ”

Dad said: "Then let's get it in the next two days, call your little cousin, Hongguang, He Miao, and then call Shangzhiqiu as a guide, then it's almost the same." ”

Li Junge said that it will be done, then you will make the pond, and I will take the children to the side of the mountain to get fish fry.

When the babies heard that they were going to get fish in the terraces, they all clapped their hands vigorously.

Li Junge asked Wang Congjun a few more people, and said, "Ba Po, how do you want to play? Why don't you go and hunt for some loach eels in the afternoon? By the way, I will go to inspect the crucian carp fry in the field." ”

Wang Congjun was very excited and said, "Ouch, the eel is a good thing, I haven't eaten it for a long time." ”

Xiaomei and Ren Xiaoqian also think it's good, but they're worried that the sun will be too big and tanned.

Liang Huili said that she wanted to learn from her grandmother, and Ayinyu said that she was going to Uncle Orion, so she didn't follow this time, just come and eat at night.

After eating and resting for a while, Li Junge took out a few round-mouthed baskets, with upside-down bamboo thorns on the mouths, and the eel loaches couldn't get out if they were thrown in.

There is also a round bamboo cover with a beam in the middle, which is used to cover the fish and touch the fish.

Let the children bring all the bamboo baskets at home, and also carry several plastic buckets, each of them was given a straw hat, and a shovel, and the group headed for the abandoned terraces in the mountains together.

When I came to the middle of the mountain, I found a terraced field with not too much grass. Xiaomei and Ren Xiaoqian couldn't help it when they saw the ditch flowing at the edge of the field, so they took off their sandals and went down to play in the water.

Let the babies be divided into several groups along the ditch, two people in each group, one holding a basket in the ditch, and a baby standing next to him with a bucket, and then said to Xiaomei and Ren Xiaoqian: "You go to play on it, I'm going to release water soon." ”

Xiaomei smiled: "No, we have to catch fish too!"

Li Junge thought that the two of you might not be as good as the babies, so he said indispensably: "Then hurry up, you also go and get a basket to block the ditch, put a bucket next to it, and throw something into the bucket when something is washed into the basket." ”

Then he shouted to the bottom, "Are you ready? I'm going to release the water!"

A few shovels shoveled open the water inlet of the ridge, and the water in the field flowed out in an uproar.

Soon I couldn't see it, and there was a lot of commotion below.

The two beauties were the most jubilant.

"Ouch, here, there's a fish rushing down!"

"Ahh

"Loach! Oh, it's so slippery! Run away! Mei Xian Zilun, grab it!"

The babies below also began to open, giggling and laughing, and kept throwing the small fish and loaches in the basket into the bucket.

After a while, they were all mud monkeys.

Wang Congjun and Zhu Chao'an are still commanding directly, and they are all there to make their mouths strong.

Zhu Chaoan is the most nagging.

"Xiaomei, I didn't say you, you can't even catch crucian carp, you can forget about loaches. ”

"Oh, you don't believe in evil, you see, you catch a loach, everyone has caught a few fish, we have to be efficient. ”

"By the way, how good it is to hold it with both hands, ouch if it doesn't work, you still have to run!"

Angry, Xiaomei splashed a handful of water: "Pig worm, you come down! The old lady hasn't cleaned you up for a long time, right?!"

After about forty minutes of water, seeing that the water in the field was almost gone, and the water in the ditch had returned to its original appearance, Li Junge asked the baby to come up with the beauties, and the basket was still blocked in the ditch, only carrying the bucket, and pulling up his trouser legs at the edge of the field, this is about to go to the field.

This time, Wang Congjun and Zhu Chaoan will also participate.

Everyone went down to the field, and a lot of rice fish were drilling in the shallow water.

Li Junge and Wang Congjun, Li Yuning, and Li Yusong were responsible for catching eel loaches, because this requires craftsmanship.

The rice fish is relatively easy to catch, Zhu Chaoan is responsible for covering the place where there are fish, and the babies and beauties are responsible for touching.

Ignoring the giggle over there, Shimoda here began to look for eel holes along the edge of the field.

The first step in catching an eel is to find a hole, and generally there will be an eel below the hole with a smooth underwater exit.

If you see a small bubble at the entrance of the cave, it will be even more inseparable.

Eels generally have two or three holes, and when digging a hole, the eels may come out of another hole and escape, so catching eels requires quick eyes and hands, not just staring at the subordinates, but paying more attention to the reactions around them.

The technique of catching the eel is also very important, use the middle three fingers, the middle finger is raised, the index finger is pressed down, and then the eel is stuck between the three fingers, and the eel will not be able to run.

But there is no need to look carefully here, the terraces have been barren for too long, and there are too many eels, so you can basically start into the hole.

The eels in this field are very fat, and the small Li Junge beckoned everyone not to want it, and only two taels or more stayed.

Several of them were veterans, and they all opened in a short time.

Wang Congjun ran in the countryside with Li Junge, and the technique was not forgotten, only to see him bend down and reach out into the mud, grope a few times, and soon found a big eel of two or three taels.

"Yo, yes, the eel is not small. Li Junge said, and he also scooped one out of the hole under his feet.

The eels in the field seemed to be inexhaustible, and soon there were two or three catties of eels in the basket on everyone's waist.

Li Junge felt that it was almost over, so he stopped and went to see Zhu Chao'an and them.

No one could see it, and their faces were covered in mud.

"Yo, Xiaomei, Qianqian, what about you applying a mask?" Li Junge laughed.

Xiaomei is still very proud: "We can catch many young and old in the second skin!"

Li Jun looked at several buckets, half a catty to one catty of carp, two to half a catty of crucian carp, and half a bucket in each bucket.

Li Junge said: "It's almost, we can't deal with it anymore, let's go back." ”

Zhu Chao'an had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and said: "Ouch, my old waist is almost gone, and this cover is not light when it is wet, the two beauties are slipping around with a baby!"

Everyone came up from the field with a smile, and Li Junge said: "There is one last wave, and then it is the moment to witness the miracle!" After speaking, he sealed the ditch with mud and began to divert water into the paddy field.

The ditch below lost its water source and dried up quickly.

The baskets that began to stop in the ditch were full of jumping fish and struggling loaches.

Xiaomei cheered with Ren Xiaoqian, and went down the ditch with the babies.

It's a lot of money. Everyone began to descend the mountain.

Walking to the door of the house, Li Junge saw that no one could see this, so he simply said to Zhu Chao'an: "You take them to swim, wash their bodies by the way, and come back, I'll cut the fish and make dinner." ”

The adults and children threw the buckets, baskets, and baskets in the open dam and ran away.

Liang Huili was still in the house, and when she came out, she looked at it and said, "Wow! You have done so much!"

Li Junge said: "This is just a field, not too much, I have to put some into the pond." ”

Move out a few large plastic basins and separate the fish, loaches, and eels.

Leaving a few carp and a dozen crucian carp, Li Junge lifted the fish to the edge of the pond and pretended to put them in the pond, but in fact they all received them in the space.

I came back and took a shower, changed my clothes, and began to cut the eel.

From the house came a bench, an awl, a knife.

Knock the eel unconscious on the edge of the basin, nail it to the bench with an awl through the eye, cut the eel in two pieces from the back of the head, then scrape off the head and bones, cut it into pieces and throw it into the basin.

A small ten-pound eel can be enough.

Grandma, Mom and Liang Huili also came over to help, and one of them took a pair of scissors to deal with the loaches.

This mess alone lasted two or three hours.

I looked at the carp and crucian carp, forget it, and save it for tomorrow morning to make soup for the babies.

After taking the eels and loaches to the house, they were washed and cleaned, and I went to the field to get some cucumbers, loofahs, and green onions.

Heat a pot of hot oil and pick out a small pot of smaller loaches.

Once the oil is hot, pour the small loaches into it and fry them.

Fry until the skin of the loach begins to harden, remove the small loach and start to fry it in the eel segment.

Fry until the oil becomes clear again, Li Junge takes out most of the eel and drains it, and continues to fry the rest until the skin is crispy and charred.

Then the small loaches that have been fried for the first time are fried again in the pot, and the small loaches that have been fried twice become crispy.

Scoop up the small loach and drip oil, Li Junge poured out the oil, left more bottom oil in the pot, added pepper, garlic cloves, ginger slices, soaked ginger and chili pepper and stir-fried until fragrant, then added bean paste, soy sauce fried to make the oil color, and finally added cooking wine and broth at noon.

Once the soup is boiling, slide the large loaches and cucumbers into the pot.

Add the green onion in the middle.

Wait until the cucumbers are soft and the loaches are soft and rotten, add salt and remove from the pan.

At this time, the swimmers all came back, shouting that they were hungry, and then they called for dinner.

Li Junge used the same method to process eel and loofah, but this time he didn't put watercress and soy sauce, and the vegetable oil came out with a bright color.

After that, add the bottom oil to the pot, put in garlic slices, ginger slices, Sichuan pepper, dried chili pepper segments, green and red chili pepper segments and stir-fry, fry until fragrant, put in the batch of dried eels that have been fried for a long time before, and finally scoop some chicken fir oil, grab a handful of chicken fir shreds in the oil into it, and finally add salt and sprinkle sesame seeds and stir-fry a few times out of the pot.

Finally, use pepper noodles, chili noodles, and salt to fry the small loaches that are fried and cooled first.

Everyone went to the table to eat, and a group of subordinate dogs at the door couldn't walk when they smelled the smell, and lined up in two rows at the door.
