In the era of scarcity, even if you live by the sea, you can't always eat fresh fish.
First of all, there was a maritime ban policy in ancient times, which was strict until the Qing Dynasty, and the stupid Qing government cleared the coastline and moved many fishing villages inland. If someone goes to sea, whether it is fishing or sightseeing, it will be treated as a marine operation and will be killed.
Secondly, in ancient times, even if you caught fish, you had to take it to the market and sell it. Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm farmers, and the same reason, those who eat seafood are not fishermen.
The most important thing is that in the past, people did not dare to go to sea easily, especially to go to the far sea, and only relying on those sea proverbs and the laws observed by the eyes were not enough to warn of dangerous weather in the ocean.
When the fisherman goes out to sea, he really hangs his head on the bow of the boat, and he may lose both people and boats at any time, so after people catch the fish, they try to squeeze the highest profits, sell everything that can be sold, and leave those that cannot be sold to pickle them, and eat them slowly after pickling and salting.
Before dinner, there was nothing to say, so Wang Bo told Eva about some things he had heard about the fishermen.
"I can understand this, life is very hard, most of our Ukrainian history, the people can only eat black bread and a little salted meat, which is similar to your dry food and salted fish, right?"
Wang Bo nodded and said: "Yes, that's it, but the difference is that the only way you eat salted meat is simply bread and make salted broth, and there are many ways to make salted fish." β
Eva asked, "I knew I could fry it, and then what?" β
Bo Dad smiled: "Fried and eaten is actually the current way to eat, if there was oil to fry fish in the past, then who would eat fish?" The money for oil can be exchanged for pork. β
Eva is interested in cooking, but for some reason, she really doesn't have a talent for it.
When she heard that there were many ways to eat salted fish in the past, she asked what kind of dishes she could make.
Bo Dad saw her curiosity and said, "In this way, it's actually good to eat a salted fish dish once in a while, why don't we make these dishes tonight." β
Wang Bo washed his hands and said, "Then I have to help." β
To eat salted fish dishes, the staple food cannot be steamed bread or rice, but coarse grains must be used to paste cakes, such as bud rice flour cakes, Sihe flour cakes, etc., which are specially paired with salted fish.
Bo Ma took out a bunch of flour, including cornmeal, bean flour, sweet potato flour and millet flour, and then used pure milk and white sugar to mix the noodles, plus egg whites, this steamed cake is much more delicious than steamed rice.
"Get in the car and get off the dumplings." Bo's mother smiled while calling for cakes, "I still want to give you noodles to eat at night, the noodles from your fourth aunt's house, her family is really delicious." β
Wang Bo took out a bottle of sunset honey and said, "You add this honey to the noodles, it tastes better." β
Bo's mother said: "Sprinkle a little sugar is enough, right?" It's too sweet, why do you eat salted fish? β
Wang Bo thought for a while and said, "Why don't you divide it into two parts, one part is made into a sweet one, this honey is very good, and it is made by a very powerful foreign beekeeper in the town." β
"Isn't that McCullough honey?" Bo Daddy asked.
Wang Bole said: "Yo, Dad, do you still know McAlough honey?" β
Bo Dad snorted and said, "Don't underestimate your father, didn't you bring a lot of them with you every time you went home before?" β
Indeed, Wang Bo forgot about it.
Eva asked if there was anything she could do to help, and Lao Wang hurriedly protected the stove: "Don't, dear, we have a reunion dinner tonight, so don't get involved." β
Bo's mother pushed him and said angrily: "How can the bear child talk? Come, doll, come to Mom, you light the fire for Mom, you will definitely be able to do this. β
Wang Bohaha laughed and said, "Mom, aren't you scolding?" I just don't let Eva interfere, you let the house go to the fire. Also, we're not married yet, and you even call your mother. β
Bo Dad, who was chopping salted fish, interjected: "Remember when I called and said that you need to come back again?" That's it, you come back this time to settle the marriage for us, at least get engaged first. β
This Wang Bo was very happy, nodded and said okay, Eva was alone here, everything was up to her, and she also shrugged her shoulders and said okay.
Bo Dad and Bo Ma suddenly smiled, and when Bo Ma called for cakes, Bo Ma poured a pound of peanut oil into the pot.
Wang Bo was surprised: "Why are you pouring so much oil?" β
Bo's mother said: "This is made for her son and daughter-in-law, of course, more oil is used, peanut oil is called cakes, the more oil, the better." β
Bo Daddy took out some soaked peanuts, rolled up his sleeves and boiled oil in a wok, after boiling, he first put star anise and Sichuan pepper, then chili pepper and green onions, ginger and garlic, and then added fish pieces to continue frying.
Wang Bo prepares soy sauce and vinegar, Bo Dad adds these condiments by dividing them by two, pours hot water and puts the chopped celery on them, and then puts the peanuts in the pot and stews them together.
This is salted fish stewed with peanuts, which is considered a cold dish, and after cooking, you must wait until the dish is naturally cool before eating.
Wang Bo makes salted fish and eggplant pot, this dish is not easy to make, you can only use fish, and you have to chop the fish into meat foam.
Tear the eggplant into strips and oil it, then add the green onion, ginger and garlic to make it fragrant, put the fish foam into the pot and stir-fry vigorously, and finally fry it together with the eggplant, and wait until the flavors of both sides are combined, and the dish is ready.
When he was making a salted fish and eggplant pot, Bo Daddy turned on the rice cooker, wrapped the salted fish in a large amount of chili, green onions, ginger and garlic, and put it in a basin to steam it in a rice cooker.
This is steamed salted fish, to put it bluntly, in the past, they used to eat salted fish in their fishing villages, and this method was the most, which was delicious and cost-saving.
In addition, there are braised salted fish, salted fish roasted pork, salted fish stewed tofu, etc., Wang Bo and Bo Dad teamed up, and six or seven dishes came out soon.
After Bo Ma finished the cake, she brushed the oil in the pot onto the pot and pasted the pieces of dried yellow croaker in the pan and fried them.
Fried dried fish in a big pot, this is the best taste of dried fish in Wang Bo's food, once in the imperial capital for a period of time he wanted to resign from his job to do this business, and took his parents to find a market in the imperial capital to sell cakes and fried dried fish in a large pot.
There are also two cold dishes on the table, namely shredded salted fish and crispy salted fish, which are all made before, and they can be served directly when the rice is served.
There is a bit of a conflict between shredded salted fish and steamed salted fish, it is to tear the salted fish into strips after steaming and eating, but there is also a conflict between the two, steamed salted fish is used for rice, and shredded salted fish is used for wine.
When the smell of rice wafted from the table of five people, Zhuang Ding and the fat cat brothers ran back, they had been playing in the snow on the street before.
Bo Ma looked at the snow fox who had been sitting in the corner and said, "Is this a cat or a dog?" It's so beautiful and good, you finally have a decent pet now. β
Wang Bodao: "This is a fox, snow fox, you say it's good?" Look at itβ"
As he spoke, he took a piece of dried fish and stuffed it into his mouth and ate it with a delicious taste.
The princess immediately played with her life, rushed to Wang Bo and jumped to grab dried fish to eat. (To be continued.) )
