Chapter Twenty-Eight

Jiang saw that Zhao Siniang casually accepted other people's snacks, and wanted to criticize her for a few words. But seeing that Zhao Siniang was so generous and sensible, and the children were so happy, thinking that they had never been able to buy a candy or a piece of snack for their children in their lives, they were very guilty, so they didn't say anything to Zhao Siniang, but just admonished: "Siniang, since we promised the shopkeeper Ming'er to send him fish balls, and accepted him such a heavy gift, we have to make that fish ball later!" ”

"Well, okay!" As soon as Zhao Siniang agreed, she shouted again: "Oops, it's not good!" ”

"What's up! Is there anything wrong with this fish ball? Jiang and the others asked in unison. The people in the township are sincere, and they will definitely do what they promise. When they heard Zhao Siniang shouting badly, they thought that something was wrong with the fish balls, and they all became nervous.

Zhao Siniang saw everyone looking at her in unison, and said embarrassedly: "Mother, I originally wanted to make brine pig's head meat for you to eat, but now I can only make white water pig's head meat for you!" ”

Only then did everyone put down their hearts when they raised their heads, and they all felt that Zhao Siniang was making a fuss.

Jiang Shi scolded: "I think something big has happened!" What is this, what is eaten is not the same! ”

Zhao Sanniang just cleaned the pig's head in her hand, and asked curiously, "Why can't you make that brine pig's head?" ”

"Hehe, I received other people's snacks, and when I was happy, I forgot to buy candy!" Zhao Siniang said with a dry smile.

Zhao Siniang saw Jiang and Zhao Sanniang glancing at each other and showing a "out of tune" gaze at the same time, and she didn't care. You won't understand the feelings of the leftover girl who didn't even receive a lollipop in her previous life, this is the first time that her appearance has been affirmed by others! Is it easy for people to get a good skin after two lifetimes? A little out of state is a normal drop!

Before Zhao Siniang finished spitting in her heart, Zhao Sanniang stood up and pointed to the two pig heads, and raised her head slightly, meaning you know.

All right! Zhao Siniang had to complain and have close contact with two pig heads, ten pig claws and three pig tails.

When Mr. Jiang and the others came back with the fish they bought from the dock, the pig's head was still stewed in one pot, and the soybean stewed pig's trotters in the other pot had been served and stewed with bone broth. Jiang's family also filtered the sweet potato pulp and put it in the water tank to precipitate.

"Siniang, look at the fish that your grandfather bought!" Old Man Jiang greeted.

Zhao Siniang saw that the fish in the basin were big and small, and the pot was full of it. Although there are mostly small fish with large palms, there are also a few large fish in two or three catties.

"Grandpa, is it really only ten cents for so many fish?" Zhao Siniang only felt incredible.

"Yes, it's time for this, so I can only sell it cheaper. This was bought with Zhang Dagui from our village, and he was very grateful when he bought it! By the way, you may not know him, but the first person to come to our shop to buy tofu this morning was her mother. Old Man Jiang explained, and then sighed: "I have been fishing all my life, and this is the first time I have spent money to buy fish from others!" ”

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely make these fish well and earn the money back." Zhao Siniang said confidently.

"Okay! I believe in our granddaughter's ability! Old Man Jiang nodded and smiled.

So Zhao Siniang asked Jiang and Jiang Yue'e to kill all the fish, and first brought her the big fish that had been scraped and washed.

I saw Zhao Siniang peeling and removing the thorns from the sliced fish, chopping it into minced fish and putting it in a basin. Then stir in one direction, adding the sauce made with various ingredients and sweet potato flour until the minced fish is strong, then squeezed into fish balls and placed in a bowl of warm water.

Then Zhao Siniang put up the big bone broth stewed in the pot, and poured the freshly pinched fish balls into the pot together with warm water. Then she asked Jiang to light the fire for her, boil the fish balls on high heat first, and then switch to low heat when they are almost cooked, and then take them out after a while, and it's done.

Zhao Siniang said before that she wanted to make tofu, although the method of tofu was not a secret, everyone had seen what tofu looked like, and there was not much curiosity. But fish balls are different, especially since the Jiang family has been fishing all their lives, and they have never heard that fish can be made into balls! All of them felt very novel. Therefore, the small stove room was full of people for a while.

At this time, they heard that the fish balls were almost ready, and everyone stretched out their heads to look into the basin. I saw that the fish balls were white in color, "round and jade", and the appearance was very good-looking.

"Siniang, this fish ball looks very good, but it has sweet potato flour added to it, can it be delicious?" Jiang thought of the taste of sweet potatoes and the taste of fish, how to think about it and how to feel weird.

"Mother, if it's delicious or not, won't you know if you taste it later?" Zhao Siniang said with a smile. Then he reminded Jiang and them: "It's not too early, let's hurry up and prepare dinner!" ”

So Zhao Siniang and the others drove out irrelevant people and began to get busy.

The pot where the fish balls had just been boiled was now empty, and Jiang steamed his nest.

Zhao Siniang opened the pot where the pig's head meat was stewed, and when she saw that it was almost stewed, she put the pig's head meat up, and she sliced the pig's head meat into thin slices.

Then Zhao Sanniang poured a little oil into the pot, and after the oil was hot, she put in the remaining fish head and fried it on both sides, and then scooped a few spoonfuls of soup from the wooden barrel containing the big bone broth and poured it into the pot. After the soup boiled, Zhao Siniang originally wanted to put the fish balls directly, but after thinking about it, she threw some tofu into it first. At noon, I made a plate of tofu, which was bought by the people of the same village, and there were two pieces left, Zhao Siniang originally wanted to make a mapo tofu, but then she was too lazy to bother with it, so she threw it directly into the soup pot. When the soup in the pot boiled again, Zhao Siniang poured the fish balls into the pot. After a while, the well-seasoned fish ball and tofu soup could be cooked, and after Zhao Siniang sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions on it, she asked Zhao Sanniang to serve it to the table.

And Zhao Siniang braised a big bowl of small fish, planning to add another dish to dinner. The rest of her fish is still in a basin, ready to be burned in the shop tomorrow morning. In fact, she also wanted to save trouble and burn all these small fish together, but the fish would become fishy if it was hot, so it was better to burn it now.

Tonight's dinner at the Jiang family was very rich, with three dishes and one soup: pig's head meat in white water, stewed pig's trotters in soybeans, braised small fish and fish ball tofu soup. The last two dishes were just fine, and Yang saw that Zhao Siniang had each put a large plate of pig's head meat and stewed pig's trotters ready to be served on the table, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and persuaded: "Just taste the taste, don't pretend so much, keep it for tomorrow and sell it for money!" ”

"Grandma, there are a total of 12 people in our family, and it's almost the same to taste one chopstick per person. And the things sold in our shop, of course, we have to taste them, otherwise the guests will ask what these dishes taste like in the future, how can we answer? Zhao Siniang said with a smile.

When Yang heard this, he had no choice but to give up.

At the dinner table, of course, everyone was full of praise for Zhao Siniang's craftsmanship. The most sought after by Mr. Jiang and Zhao Yongzhong is the white water pig's head meat, and even the chopsticks are lowered, and it is estimated that most of the dishes were killed by the two of them.

But the most strange thing is this fish ball, which is obviously filled with sweet potato flour, but I can't eat the taste of sweet potato, but it retains the freshness and original taste of the fish, and everyone is amazed.
