Chapter 21 The sauerkraut fish is coming
When the father and son returned home, they told the family that everyone was overjoyed when they had sold out of gloves. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Lin Yujuan calculated the account, except for the two pairs given to her grandparents, a total of seventeen pairs of gloves were sold, and only one pair was sold for 14 yuan, earning a total of 284 yuan. The cotton I bought from the uncle's family was twenty wen a catty, a total of five catties. The processing fee is five wen per catty, a total of twenty-five wen. In addition, it took 20 wen to add dyeing. The cost cost was one hundred and forty-five wen. In this way, I only earned more than 100 wen in total, but there are still a lot of threads left. It's just that there is not much black, and there are still a lot of navy blue and red. It's not good to sell, so keep it for your own family to weave clothes in the future.
Now the most urgent thing is to continue to twist and dye. Lin Yujuan said to her brother Lin Yukou: "Brother, you can go to the uncle's house." Let the eldest sister help our family twist the thread again, and it will cost five catties like last time. ā
"Okay, I'll go talk to the eldest sister." Lin Yukou also knew that he was in a hurry this time, so he hurriedly went to his uncle's house without eating. When I arrived at my uncle's house, the family was having lunch. Lin Yukou said what he meant, and the lobby sister agreed. The eldest uncle and eldest aunt did not object, and it seems that they all know what happened last time.
Three days later, the three mothers and daughters of the Qi family finished weaving the remaining black cotton threads, and there were still two pairs left before they were woven, so they replaced them with navy blue. The lobby sister also sent the twisted five catties of cotton thread over. Just wait for Lin Yukou and them to take them to the street to dye today. At the end of the month, the pickled cabbage in the jar was also good. Lin Yujuan tasted it, and it tasted good. Thinking about waiting, Gu Lao and everyone bought a fish and came back to make sauerkraut fish. Lin Guilu and his son packed their things before dawn and set off for the town.
Lin Yujuan also quickly got up, freshened up and went to Gu Lao's house. She was afraid that if she went late, people would go to the street. When he arrived at the edge of the dock at his house, Boss Gu happened to collect the fish and came back. I'm ready to have breakfast and go out on the street. After hearing that Lin Yujuan wanted to sell fish, she let her pick it on the boat herself.
"Uncle Gu, I want to buy a herring or black fish. Do you have one today? She asked, as she got into the fishing boat.
Boss Gu said: "There is no herring fish, but there is a black fish of about two catties." He brought out a barrel from the cabin, and inside it was a big black fish. Let's go, go to the shore, and I'll get you a straw rope to put on. So saying, they both got out of the boat and went ashore. He pulled two straws from the haystack on the edge of the dock and rubbed his hands back and forth a few times. A straw rope will do, pinch the black fish's gills and pass through it to the fish's mouth. After tying the knot, he took out the rod scale and weighed it, and the first two catties were counted as two catties. received twenty-five dollars from Lin Yujuan.
Qi saw his daughter come back with a black fish and asked her what she was going to do. Lin Yujuan said: "Don't worry, let's have breakfast first and then prepare." So saying, he put the fish in a wooden basin and went to breakfast. Breakfast is naturally multigrain porridge with your own kimchi. As she ate, she recalled the recipe for sauerkraut fish. I ate a lot in a restaurant in my previous life, and I know how to do it. There are green onions and fruits at home, ginger, garlic, and peppercorns, and pepper to go to grandma's house to look for it. There are no pickled peppers, and instead of pickled peppers made at home, you can only put half of them. Starch is not available and can be replaced with flour. Eggs are also available at home.
After breakfast, Lin Yujuan went to her grandmother's house to find some pepper and a little rice wine. When I got home, I had to ask Qi to help when I killed the fish. She can't do this yet. Qi Shi held a kitchen knife, and he was about to scrape the scales when he grabbed the black fish. The black fish struggled hard, don't look at the black fish that is only two catties, the strength is not small. After a few breaks, Qi Shi was annoyed, grabbed the fish and threw it to the ground. It was almost all of a sudden, and after Qi had finished scraping the scales and cutting his belly. Lin Yujuan hurriedly brought water to wash the fish and put it on the cutting board.
"Mom, you try to get rid of all the big spines of the fish. Then diagonally into pieces. ā
The Qi family still didn't quite understand, so Lin Yujuan had to grab the knife and show it to the Qi family. Only then did she understand how to get it.
"It's so much trouble to eat a fish." Qi said
"Mom, let's not be afraid of trouble. If this dish can be made, our sauerkraut will be easy to sell. There are three cylinders, not hundreds of pounds. Lin Yujuan said.
After the Qi slices were ready, Lin Yujuan added salt to the slices and caught them. Then rinse with water to know that the fillets are translucent. Add a little rice wine, pepper, egg whites and a little salt to the fillet. Then I peeled the green onions, garlic, and ginger sauerkraut with my sister Xiujuan, washed and cut them, took out a pickled pepper and cut it in half. Then he asked his sister to go to the stove to make a fire, and she instructed Qi to make fish on it.
When the pot is hot, pour in the oil, and pour a few drops as usual. Lin Yujuan shouted, "Pour again, pour again, there is too little oil." Qi Shi quit, "It's still poured, it's almost half a bowl of oil." Lin Yujuan saw that it was useless to shout, so she had to grab the oil pot and pour some oil into it. The Qi family who watched shouted, "You little girl, do you have such a dish?" You're a loser, a pound of oil makes you can't cook twice and it's gone. Grab a bowl and scoop it up. ā
"Mom, we're doing experiments and experiments. It's not that we eat like this every day, just this once. Don't worry, think about how much oil money you have to earn back after selling the sauerkraut in three large jars. As he spoke, he quickly put the green onions, ginger, garlic, and peppercorns in and stir-fried until fragrant. After wafting out the fragrance, add sauerkraut, and half a pickled chili pepper to continue stir-frying. After stir-frying until fragrant, add the fish head and bones, fry them for a little and bring them to a boil. After boiling, simmer for a while, then add salt and pepper to taste. Once the flavor is ready, pour the marinated fillets into the pot and continue cooking. When cooked, you can put it in a bowl.
"Okay? It smells so good. Lin Xiujuan walked up to the stove from under the stove and said.
"Nonsense, so much oil. Isn't it fragrant? Qi said angrily, still remembering her oil.
"No, I'm going to have to fry the incense with oil again. I washed the pot first. Lin Yujuan said.
"What? Do you want to stir-fry with oil again? You see, there is such a thick layer of oil floating in this fish bowl. Qi Shi's voice couldn't help but think.
"Don't worry, don't worry, Mom, you smell this and know that we must have done it." Lin Xiujuan comforted.
People here don't eat spicy, so Lin Yujuan plans to cut some green onions and fruits, and stir-fry garlic. Heat the oil pan again, add the green onion and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant. Then use a spatula to drizzle over the fillet. The scent of oil wanted to waft out. Lin Yujuan took a deep breath, "It's so fragrant, taste it." As he spoke, he handed over a pair of chopsticks.
"Are you fish ready? So fragrant? "It turned out that Brother Lin, who went out to play, also came back.
"Hehe, what a coincidence that you came back. You try it too, be careful with the stabs. Lin Yujuan also handed him a pair of chopsticks.
"Oh, it's delicious, it's delicious." Brother Lin did not forget to praise him.
"Then this fish, did you eat it at home or will it be sent to the town to taste it for the owner of the restaurant?" Lin Xiujuan asked.
"Then it depends on whether Mom is willing to give up the oil haha." Lin Yujuan still felt that it depended on Qi's meaning.
"Let's keep this at home today, cook it at noon, and eat it together when your father and Yukou come back." Qi said and put away the chopsticks in the hands of the three sisters and brothers to wash.
"Forget it, little brother, don't be greedy. We'll eat again at noon, huh? Lin Yujuan comforted her younger brother and swallowed her saliva. There is no way, usually I eat too little fish and meat, and there is no oil and water in my stomach. Lin Yujuan dragged Lin Xiaodi to the house. The red cotton thread was cut in a short section, and a knot was tied to teach Brother Lin to play with the flower rope.
In the suffering of Lin Xiaodi's waiting, Lin Guilu's father and son finally came back. The happy little brother Lin suddenly pounced on his brother, "Brother, why did you come back." I miss you guys. Lin Yukou was really happy in his heart, my brother is still very successful. I haven't seen it for a long time, and I think about my brother.
"This kid wants to eat sauerkraut fish. I said I wouldn't eat until you came back. Does he not want to kill you? The Qi clan ruthlessly exposed Little Brother Lin's lies.
"Sauerkraut fish made? Really delicious? Lin Yukou salivated. He wanted to taste what it was like. I've heard my sister mention it since I was making sauerkraut, and I can't be late until today.
"Alright, alright, you're all going to wash your hands and eat." Qi gave an order, and several children in the family rushed to wash their hands. Taking advantage of the time to wash her hands, Lin Yujuan asked Lin Yukou, "Brother, how are the gloves selling?" ā
"Of course everyone wants it, after all, they are all students in the academy. Don't they all pay attention to a gentleman's words, and it's hard to chase a horse. It's all written in the book, but they wrote it themselves. If you regret it, it won't be good. Lin Yukou said.
"So all thirteen pairs of gloves were sold today?" Lin Yujuan asked.
"That's natural, and I took advantage of the break to send it over. There was no counteroffer, and many people made a decision. But I said I'd have to wait a few days. The cotton thread was also sent for dyeing. It's all black, and I asked the shopkeeper to help me get it faster. But people say it will take four days at the earliest. Lin Yukou explained the matter of dyeing the thread again.
Lin Yujuan knew that it was already very fast to be dyed in four days. "Okay, we'll take a break for a few days. As soon as the thread arrives at home, it is quickly woven and sent to others. ā
"When the time comes, the affairs of the family will be entrusted to me and the lock. All you have to do is knit your gloves. Lin Yukou's words made Yujuan very heartwarming to listen to, although this brother was only nine years old. But he really understands a lot of things.
"Okay, let's hurry up and eat. You also taste the sauerkraut fish. Lin Yujuan beckoned her brother to hurry up and eat, the food was cold very quickly this day.
At the dinner table, the family finished the fish fillet and ate sauerkraut. In the end, the sauerkraut was gone, and I still couldn't get enough. Qi Shi was eating in his mouth, and his heart was still distressed. It's really a waste of oil to burn the fish this time. After having lunch, I discussed waiting for Gu Lao to order another fish, and I will make it again tomorrow and send it to the restaurant in the town.
