Chapter 18 Whole Fish Feast (Ask for Recommendation and Collection)
New book seedlings, eager for everyone's support, there is a chapter in the evening!
----------------
The people are forgetful, and soon leave the matter behind, and worry about the food in the future.
Qingshi Town can buy rice and grain again, but it has increased tenfold compared to before, and it is really not something that the people in the mountain village can afford to consume.
Less than half of the winter, most of the people in Changshou Village and Liujiazhai have run out of food, and the stored game has been eaten up, all relying on the cabbage and radishes in those cellars to survive, and some people have begun to slaughter their own chickens and pigs, but if this continues, it will definitely not last in the spring.
Some people ventured into the mountains to hunt, but the results were not very good, but there were accidents such as falling and being buried in the snow.
"San Lang, it can't go on like this, you have to think of a way, if it really doesn't work, go and ask the monkey again!" After Chen Laohan finished inspecting the village, he finally couldn't help but ask his grandson for advice.
"Ah Weng don't panic, tomorrow I will gather the young people of the village, I have my own way to live!"
Chen Laohan was overjoyed, and without asking what the specific method was, he immediately instructed Chen Dalang to notify the families.
The next day, not only the young people of Changshou Village arrived, but more than 30 people also came to Liujiazhai, and it was naturally Liu Boqin who took the lead.
"Saburo, what do you mean with chisels and fishing nets?" Everyone feels that these two things are completely incompatible.
"You'll understand when you get there!"
A group of dozens of people walked upstream along the valley, and the snow on the road was more than half a foot deep, but fortunately, the mountain stream had formed a thick layer of ice, and it was easier to walk from the ice.
After more than an hour, we came to the waterfall and the pool.
The waterfall has long since turned into an ice skate, and the ice in the waterhole is thick enough to run horses.
"Could it be that the soldiers are fishing?"
"Brother Liu guessed right!" Chen Jiping has to admit that the IQ of the people in this era is actually not low, but it is limited by vision and productivity, and some things cannot be imagined, and some things are not dared to do.
"Can it be done?"
"Hehe, just try it!"
The villagers are generally skeptical, and they can catch fish by digging through the ice? But it's all coming, of course you have to try it.
According to Chen Jiping's method, everyone dug an oval circle, and worked together to drag up the big ice cube first, and then throw some chicken intestines and other things on the water.
Soon, the fish heads were crowded, and a large number of fish began to compete for food, and some fish even jumped out of the ice.
"Lots of fish!"
"Look at that one, it's two feet long!"
"Ah, there's also a red carp~"
Chen Jiping hurriedly stopped everyone's shouting and ordered to go to the net.
In fact, now, without him, everyone knows what to do.
The first net went down, a total of more than 100 fish were caught, including a big herring, at least seventeen or eighteen pounds, all of them were about to become fine, if it wasn't for Liu Boqin's early opportunity, a fork was fatal, and it almost broke out of the net.
With such a harvest, everyone was full of energy, and then went to the second and third nets, considering that there was no way to get it back any more, so I gave up.
Everyone acknowledges that fish can fill their stomachs, but people in mountain villages don't like to eat fish, because the meat doesn't taste as much as pheasant and hares, and it is troublesome to pick the bones.
Therefore, the people in the village were not too excited when they saw the thousands of catties of fish transported.
Liu Boqin and the others divided the fish and prepared to go home, but Chen Jiping kept them, "Everyone, go slowly, wait for me to make a table of whole fish feast for everyone, and then leave after eating!" ”
Everyone knew that Chen Sanlang was good at cooking, so they all geared up to taste what the monkey disciples could make of fish.
Braised fish fast, sauerkraut fish, sweet and sour fish, fish head tofu, and finally a pot of fish stickers, Chen Jiping will make far more than these kinds of fish, but the conditions are limited, so he can only do these.
However, the people who ate the whole fish feast didn't think so, they ate too much bland, tasteless boiled fish, and then ate these dishes that they had never eaten before, and almost bit their tongues off one by one.
"It's so delicious, I've lived for decades, I didn't know the fish was so delicious!" A strong man from Liujiazhai said.
"There are a lot of good things you haven't eaten, our San Lang is the reincarnation of Peng Zu, do you know who Peng Zu is? That's the God of Cooking! "A villager of Changshou Village looks like he is honored.
"What the eldest brother said is very true, can you ask San Lang to teach us how to make these fish, so that our family can also try them?"
This one was a little embarrassed, Chen Jiping smiled and said: "If you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach!" ”
Of course, he did not show off his cooking skills, but to let the people learn to eat fish, so that they would make great efforts to catch fish, and this winter would survive.
He undoubtedly achieved his goal, realizing that fish can still be made very delicious, the people of Changshou Village and Liujiazhai are full of energy, and the nearby villages are not far behind to fish.
There is not only one waterhole near Liangjie Mountain, there are two large and small rivers, the fish industry resources are very rich, and it is not a problem to meet the food of hundreds of households.
Yuan Ri Festival, that is, New Year's Day, this is the first New Year that Chen Jiping has been reborn, although there is a lack of food and clothing, although there are no firecrackers, but it is still full of New Year's flavor.
The day before the festival, Chen Jichang took Chen Erya and Chen Jiping to the town to shop, although the town has not yet returned to its original liveliness, at least they can buy wine and some daily necessities.
In the night vigil, the whole village sang and danced, and it was not until the time passed before resting.
Early the next morning, the whole family worshiped their ancestors under the leadership of Chen Laohan and went to the grave to burn paper.
The old man specially commended Chen Jiping in front of the ancestral tablet, and took out a new good sprinkle to present to the ancestor.
Then make peach charms, visit the door to pay New Year's greetings, and each family will come up with the best food to entertain guests, etc.
Chen Jiping specially offered fish and chickens made by him in the mountain temple, as well as a jar of good wine, but it disappeared in an instant, indicating that the god of Li Mu accepted his heart.
Then I ran hard to the Five Elements Mountain to greet the monkeys.
Sun Wukong is undoubtedly a more affectionate person, "What are you doing here to cover the mountain with heavy snow, I don't have the money to give you a new year!" ”
"Who is with whom? This time I brought you two jars of good wine, enough for you to drink a few meals! ”
"It's not big, it's not small!" The monkey flicked him lightly, and a bag immediately appeared on his brain, but he was used to it.
"I can't stay for a long time for the New Year at home, you use it slowly!"
"Wait!" Sun Wukong stopped him, "When the weather is warm, I'll teach you some real skills!" ”
Chen Jiping knows that the hard work of the past half a year has paid off, but he is not a very utilitarian person, "Don't force it, I have no interest in fighting and killing!" ”
A few immortals in the air can't wait to come down and beat him, what a good opportunity, is this kid really stupid or fake stupid?
"You really don't want to learn martial arts?" Sun Wukong also felt incredible.
"As long as we can protect ourselves, we don't want to be Monkey King!"
"Let's go, let's go!" Sun Wukong hated iron a little, but after thinking about it, the three saints of Huoyun Cave were all cultivating merits, and it was clear.
Then he started scratching his ears and cheeks again, what he is best at is fighting, and now people say that he is not too interested, what can he teach?
