CHAPTER XVII
However, Qin Moshu has always been a pampered and unfazed facial paralysis, and his senses about things like skin appearance are just a flash. (Joke, if you want to look at your face, he's seen enough of himself, okay.) οΌ
"Little brother, may I ask how to get to the main family in Liujia Village." Fu bowed again and asked.
Brother? Bai Jiaojiao looked down at his flat chest that could park the plane, and suddenly his mood was even less good. Are you blind, she is such a beautiful girl with red lips and white teeth, and she can still be looked at! Hehe, it's good, it's good, new hatred and old hatred. "Are you looking for Lizheng?"
This little brother's voice is also very crisp, delicate like a girl. Qin Moshu nodded, but he was thinking in his heart, is this the real jade-faced Xiaolangjun! His group of fox friends are really blind.
A poor county magistrate who relies on the people's accounts came to Lizheng? Four big words suddenly appeared in Bai Jiaojiao's mind, and officials protect each other. "Lizheng's house is in that direction, you just go ahead and turn left."
Don't ask her how she knows where Lizheng's house is, joke, it's strange that she knows her from an outsider. The whole village also knows her own family, Aunt Wang's house and Widow Liu's house who was taken by Bai Hua last time!
"Thank you." Qin Moshu thanked him and followed the direction pointed by Bai Jiaojiao.
No thanks, no welcome. Bai Jiaojiao squinted his eyes and smiled slightly, Widow Wang must like you.
Thinking of what Bai Hua said about Widow Liu's pure love for their family, and the people who often smear their family behind their backs, he suddenly spat out, it was really cheap for her.
Five cents bought a happy Bai Jiaojiao, turned his head and forgot about Qin Moshu, and then took Bai Hua and them back with a full load. When Liu saw them come back, he first split his head and covered his face and reprimanded Bai Hua.
Bai Jiaojiao sympathetically gave Bai Hua a look with a black pot, and then stood aside with his eyes and nose, and waited for Liu's anger to be enough before handing over the water.
This little conscienceless person was obviously her idea, but she was scolded, but she found an opportunity to be courteous. Birch gas is itchy in the teeth.
"A-Niang, don't be angry, look." Bai Jiaojiao uncovered the fishing net covered in a bag, and dozens of fat big fish were still jumping in it, each of which was half an arm long.
Liu took a breath and hurriedly closed it. "Where did you get that?"
"It's in the river, and that's only part of it."
"Shut up." Liu's anger did not subside, and he glared at him. "Lian'er, you say."
"Auntie, Auntie, Brother took us to catch fish, Sister said that the fish on the side are easy to catch, and we really caught a lot." Ah Lian doesn't lie, naΓ―ve. "Even Ah Lian caught a lot of small fry."
After confirming that it was not stolen by them, Liu was relieved. But then I was sad. "How can we eat so many fish, let your father take it to the town and sell it?"
The birch fluttered and poured all the fish into the broken water tank under the big locust tree at home. "Daddy is not easy to get on the road, and besides, this fish is not fresh when it arrives in the town, so it can't be sold for a few dollars."
"Then what do you say?" Liu helped change the water in the tank, which could not be raised for a few days.
"A-Niang, why don't you let me try." Bai Kyaukjiao exchanged for spices such as ginger and shallots, starch, olive oil, sweet and spicy sauce from the system, and it cost a total of ten copper plates.
In Liu's disbelief, he patted his chest and promised that it would be delicious, but Liu thought that even if it was bad, it would not be a waste, so he agreed.
"Auntie, you help me take care of these fish. Cut it in half and remove the bones and large spines from the back. This black film must be cleaned, and the meat must be scraped off with a knife along the skin of the fish. β
"Ah Lian, you can help Sister Ah beat all these fish into fish paste."
Under Bai Jiaojiao's demonstration, Liu tried one, "Is this so?" β
"Well, A-Niang, you did a great job." Bai Jiaojiao praised, that's right, she just wants to make fish balls.
The fresh fish that grew up eating aquatic plants and drinking clean water and making it by hand is much more delicious than the fish balls mixed with thick starch in later generations.
Chop the green onion and ginger into minced pieces, mix them into the fish puree and stir clockwise, add salt, egg whites, water, olive oil, seasoning powder in batches, stir well, and then add a proportional amount of starch.
Squeeze into fish balls and put them in cold water to cook them slightly, and the balls are snow-white and pink.
Bai Hua looked at Bai Jiaojiao's small palm for a while, one after another, "Jiaojiao, what is this?" β
"Fish balls."
"Isn't it fishy to make of fish?"
The soup made of fish bones on the pot on the side was also boiling, and all the fish bones were fished out, Bai Jiaojiao sighed slightly, it would be better if he could use big bone broth.
Scoop up the cold water, put down the hot soup, and after boiling hot, it will be served with a fragrant aroma. Coupled with the green and tender and cooked vegetables, the color is even more attractive.
Ah Bao couldn't help it at first, took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and didn't spit it out while shouting hot. Bai Hua laughed and dug one up. "This tastes ......"
"How's it going, isn't it tender and elastic?" Bai Jiaojiao is still very confident, because her cooking skills have increased by three points.
Seeing this, Liu also tasted it and said with admiration. "Where did you come up with so many ideas in your little head, such a strange way for you. However, there is no fishy smell at all, but only the salty taste of the fish remains, and there are no spines and it is very elastic. β
Of course, the cost alone cost twenty copper plates, although I bought a lot of spices and didn't run out yet.
When the white father and the others returned, there was a large pot of fish ball soup, a plate of sweet and sour fish, and a plate of fried vegetables on the table.
Bai Li, who was rarely at home, smelled the fragrance when he entered the house. "Yesterday, I heard A-Niang say that Kyaukuk's craftsmanship is good, I guess this must be made by Kyaukuk."
Father Bai also agreed. "Anyway, it must be something that your aunt can't do."
"You two, you've only started to be picky after eating my food for so many years, it's too late." Liu laughed and scolded.
"Hey, what is this? The color is like jade, and the shape is like a pearl. Bai Li saw the fish balls on the table at a glance, picked one up and tasted it. So tender. β
"Brother, you've been in town for so long and well-informed, guess what it's made of." Bai Jiaojiao said deliberately, when it comes to learning, I'm afraid that her eldest brother has more knowledge than the second brother who is serious about going to school.
"I've never seen this color, but when I followed the shopkeeper to the restaurant to see a doctor, I saw minced meat made of balls of this shape, which are bigger than this one, but not so tight."
Sure enough, most of the meatballs made outside are made of flour, while she uses systematic refined starch, so the shape is more complete.
The white father washed his hands with the well water used to wash the vegetables and sat down. "It doesn't matter what he does, it tastes good."
"If you taste it carefully, you can taste a hint of river freshness, it shouldn't be made of fish."
"Ali's tongue is the most sensitive." Liu said with a smile. "Isn't it exactly, your younger brothers and sisters went to catch fish early in the morning, and it was not easy to deal with them, so Jiaojiao thought of this idea."
"No wonder I see what's in that big tank." Father Bai praised. "What do you have in your head, how did you come up with it?"
Bai Jiaojiao blinked and his eyes widened, "It looks from the book, and the second brother's miscellaneous book says that there are people in Kyoto who make meatballs out of fish, so I tried it out of curiosity." β
"Really?"
Bai Hua nodded hurriedly under the inquiring gaze of Father Bai. "Yes, I borrowed it from my master a few days ago." He didn't know what miscellaneous records he had, he didn't know anything about writing and drawing, and he didn't know what books he had.
"Sounds interesting, borrow it from me when you have time." Bai Li drank the soup slowly, and he didn't know what he thought he was tasting. "Kyauk-kyauk?"
"I only know a few." Bai Jiaojiao explained to Bai Li under the pressure of Bai's father and Liu's doubts.
"Brother, don't you know, Jiaojiao is interested in everything when she recovers from her illness, and she often pesters me to ask questions, and she learns quickly."
Fortunately, Bai Jiaojiao pestered Bai Hua for a while in order to change his name, so that someone could pass through the circle.
