Chapter 61: Remove the Smell of Mud
"No, eldest sister, I want to tell you, I know how to get rid of the muddy smell, if it is done, our family can not only add a dish, but also sell it for money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Otherwise, let's let the eldest brother catch a few fish in the river, and the eldest sister will eat them in the evening. ”
Zhang Yueyao's heart moved when she heard this, if it is really as Yue'er said, it is really good. "Okay, when the eldest sister finishes washing the rest, I'll tell the eldest brother about it when I go back."
After resting for several days, the remaining pig offal at home was only washed today, and when it was cleaned, it was good to add a dish. Don't look at this thing, it tastes good and can be drunk, but it's troublesome to wash. If it weren't for Yue'er's space that could remove the smell and dirt by herself, she wouldn't want Yue'er to keep it, for fear of getting dirty and smelly inside.
At lunchtime, Zhang Yue'er and her eldest sister told them about being by the river, and also asked for the eldest brother's consent.
It's just that there is only one net in the utility room at home, and it is also hard work to cast the net. The eldest brother was the least injured, so he let the second and third brothers stay at home, and then took her and the eldest sister out to fish after taking a nap.
Seeing that the eldest brother put away the fishing net placed in the river, there was a fish weighing more than three catties in it, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Eldest sister, the eldest brother has caught a fish, and catching another one will be enough for us to eat." "Because I said it too quickly, I accidentally choked it.
"Yue'er, don't worry, the eldest brother will catch it. We took the bucket over and let Big Brother load the fish. After patting Yue'er on the back a few times, and then putting away the clothes on her body, Zhang Yueyao carried the wooden bucket and pulled Yue'er over.
The river water was a little cold, and the eldest brother and sister didn't let her touch the fish, and when they saw the eldest brother put the fish in the wooden barrel, he put a few small finger-sized fish together. There was a small hole in the fish net, and I didn't look at it carefully when I found it out, and I had to make up for it when I used it up this time, otherwise there would be a few small fish left.
Then the eldest brother cast a few more nets in the river, two of which were empty, and each of the rest was rewarded. In addition to the big fish caught before, two more two-pound ones and one three-pound one were caught. Seeing that the bucket was full of fish, they packed up and went home.
When they got home, the second and third brothers were in the yard digging over the shrubs that had been removed from the mountains, because the sun-dried shrubs would be sharper.
"Big brother, you're back, have you caught a fish?"
"Third brother, I caught it, you see that the bucket is full of fish, and it is all full, and I can't put it down before I come back."
"Well, Jiaze, I'll come to these in the yard, you pick up two big ones in the bucket and wash them for your eldest sister to cook at night, and you put the rest in the small ditch in the backyard to raise, remember to block the small ditch with mud, don't let the fish run away."
Zhang Jiaze took the wooden bucket in the eldest brother's hand, saw several fish in it, and happily slaughtered the fish in the backyard, he didn't forget that at noon Yue'er promised him that he would let the eldest sister make delicious fish.
When she was on the way, she had already discussed with her eldest sister to make a braised fish and a sauerkraut fish at night, and when she saw the third brother carrying the fish to the backyard, she quickly followed her to the backyard. Let the third brother scrape the scales of the freshly slaughtered fish, remove the fins and gills, and clean the internal organs, and wash the black membrane and tendons inside, which is the strongest fishy smell and the strongest earthy part of the fish body. Then he rinsed the blood, cut the head of one of them in half, and cut the flesh of the fish into the length of his little finger by pressing it against the bones. Then put the two sliced fish in a bowl separately and marinate with an appropriate amount of salt and shochu. Since there was no cooking wine, shochu was used instead.
When everything was ready, Zhang Yue'er lit the fire under the stove, watched the eldest sister fry the woad first, and then made braised fish and sauerkraut fish according to the simple steps she said. The seasoning at home is not bad, and I bought it last time I bought New Year's goods in the town. It was also after she asked this time that she found out why the fish in the river tasted muddy and smelly!
The seasoning is not bad, but there is less wine and ginger, and then the black membrane and tendons are not removed when dissecting the fish, and there is no pickling, so the taste is not good. And the fish here is generally boiled in three ways, one is braised in a braised sauce, one is steamed, and the last one is boiled in soup. Most of them are braised and steamed to eat, because the fish soup in the river has a stronger fishy smell, that is, the soup is boiled and drunk only after giving birth to a child. If you don't want to eat something heavy, you can either go to the mountains to catch it, or go to a restaurant in the town to buy it, or if you can't, it depends on your cooking skills.
Needless to say, the fish in the mountains are naturally raised and sweet, and the chefs in the restaurants must have a secret recipe for cooking, and the cooking skills can only show the craftsmanship of each family.
When I heard the eldest sister tell her before, she listened to the sweat of her head, no wonder the family rarely eats fish, she thought that the eldest brother didn't eat it! It's not that she doesn't eat it, but she saves it. The fish in the mountains are not easy to catch, and the fish in the river are not delicious, and she usually pays too little attention to them.
This is the eldest sister's first time to try it, although I don't know how it tastes, but the fragrance in the kitchen has wafted to the yard, causing the three brothers to come to see the excitement.
Waiting for the dishes to be served, everyone tried the taste of the fish, the taste was better than expected, the eldest sister's craftsmanship is really good, it is so good at one time! Even she doesn't like to eat fish very much, the fish is fresh and sweet, there is no earthy smell, and there is a mixture of sauerkraut with the fragrance of green onions, and two spicy seeds are added to the sauerkraut fish, which is delicious and delicious. The eldest brother was full of praise, and in the end, the two pots of fish were eaten cleanly, and the third brother kept saying that he would eat fish tomorrow, which made everyone laugh happily.
Zhang Jiaze watched the fish in the two pots eat up, and couldn't help but say: "Big brother, I didn't expect the eldest sister to do what Yue'er said, and there was no muddy smell in the fish." Let's go catch fish tomorrow, we can sell more of them, it's best to do it last time, make dishes at home and take them to taste, and you can also go to Piaoxianglou to try. ”
"Well, we can go to Piaoxiang Building to try it, or we can set up our own stall and sell it for nothing, and then we can sell it cheaper. Jia Xuan's arm can't be used, these days Jia Ze and I take turns to catch more fish in the river and save them, and when they save more, they will be sent to the town to sell in a few days. Take advantage of everyone's New Year's goods to sell more money. ”
Regardless of whether there is silver or not, each family will buy such a fish to be auspicious, "more than every year"! There are also fish sellers in the town, but when they sell it, let the people who buy it taste it, and the price will not be too much, so more people will buy it. If you save more, you can sell it for more money, and when everyone knows the way to get rid of the fish, it will be difficult to sell.
He didn't think about selling the method of removing the fishy for money, the life of each family was not easy, and it was good to be able to fill his stomach, let alone eat some meat and vegetables. In such days, their family didn't want to earn this silver after many years, fish is also considered meat and vegetables, and they have to be caught in the river, so it's not bad for everyone to eat, not to mention that this method is what Yue'er told them, and it's good to accumulate more kindness for Yue'er.
