The next morning, Zhuang Chuchu, Mrs. Sun, and Xiao Qi came to Shao Dayu's house on time with a few entourages. Shao Dayu's house is located on the edge of the lake, a few ordinary bungalows, the roof is dried fish, and the front of the house is strung with strings of tile fish.

Zhuang Chuchu and they brought some gifts, wine, sugar, snacks, etc. to the Shao family. The Shao family has three fathers and sons, and there is an old mother at home, who usually helps with sewing and mending.

The eldest son of the Shao family worked on another boat, and because he did a good job of making fish heads, he was nicknamed Shao Yutou. He was as thin as his father, but he was a bit smart. Zhuang Chuchu and they came, he came out to pour tea and give up his seat, helping Zhang Luo to entertain.

The youngest son of the Shao family is very different from Shao Yutou, he has just become an adult, and his gray beard has just pierced the skin and grows wantonly on his lips. Although he is thin, he is half a head taller than his father, and because of his father, people call him Shao Xiaoyu. It seems that he is not good at talking, Zhuang Chuchu and they came, he just looked at it, smiled and nodded his head to say hello, and then disappeared quietly.

Zhuang Chuchu found that the father and son of the Shao family have a special place, their arms are longer than ordinary people, ordinary people stand up with their hands vertical, their hands are generally to the buttocks, and the hands of the three of them can hang down to the center of the thighs.

Zhuang Chuchu asked Shao Dayu what was going on, and Shao Dayu said: "Have you noticed this? Our ancestors fished and fished, and unconsciously, their upper limbs stretched longer than others, and then passed on from generation to generation, and it became like this." ”

"Isn't it easier to catch fish, fish, and make fish?" ”

Shao Yutou stayed to accompany Zhuang Chuchu and they chatted, and Shao Dayu went to the back kitchen.

Shao Yutou said that he was on the No. 10 boat, and Yingzi, who sang a minor tune on the boat, had been engaged to him, and after a year or two, he would save some money to repair the house again, and he should get married.

After a while, Shao Dayu came over and said that the meal was ready, please take a seat, and the group moved to the dining room. The meal has been arranged, and there is a pot of soup in the middle of the four dishes.

These home-cooked dishes are different from the dishes I ate yesterday. The dishes are all made of fish. The crystal fish head is steamed with red and green chopped peppers, and the gelatinous substance under the fish head becomes crystal-shaped, which is pleasant and sour.

After everyone tasted this crystal fish head, they praised each other, and looked at the next one, this one, it is a very powerful fire dragon gate, the fish yard is good seasoning cut into scales but constantly skinned, it is fixed into a gantry with a bamboo stick, lightly fried in oil to set the shape, and then take out the bamboo stick, wrap the seasoning on the surface again, put a special gantry chassis out, a layer of oil in the chassis, ignite the fire, the blue-yellow tongue of fire gently roasts the dragon gate, the surface of the fish is golden, and the burnt fragrance is tangy.

This dish is not only a test of knife skills, but also a test of proportion. If the fire is too big, the fish will be scorched and old, and if the fire is too small, it will not be able to burn that layer of brown.

Xiao Qi asked Shao Dayu: "Why is this dish called Burning Longmen?"

"Because the legend says that the carp jumped over the dragon gate, the carp burned the dragon gate in order for the little carp in the back to enter the dragon palace. ”

"I see. ”

There are also two dishes, one is a large bowl of pepper sesame fish bubbles, spicy tendons, Xiaosi didn't taste it after a few bites, and thought it was beef tendon. One is a quick dish made of fish roe, the fish roe is scattered, and it is fried with squeezed pepper until it is finely chopped and dried and fragrant, these two dishes are really two dishes. Everyone unconsciously holds a bowl of rice and eats it with relish.

There is a pot of soup in the middle, milky white soup, with thin milky white filaments floating in it, dotted with a few threads of seaweed, a few pieces of coriander, and a few red peppers as decorations, and a few deep-bellied spoons are placed next to the soup pot.

Scooped the soup with a small bowl and spoon, and when the soup entered his mouth, Zhuang Chuchu found that the milky white filament was not vermicelli, it was fish shreds, which were peeled and deboned with the most tender part of the fish, and hand-chopped and stirred spoon to make such a slender and long thin line. It melts in your mouth and tastes extremely delicious. Take a sip of this soup and feel that every cell in your body is moisturizing and blooming.

Everyone was amazed. Zhuang Chuchu said: "Master Shao invited us to eat such a delicacy today, thank you very much. ”

Shao Dayu said: "How about putting these fish dishes in your Xiaomeishan?"

"Of course that's good. Zhuang Chuchu said: "These meals are absolute signature dishes." Drinkers, drinkers, food, young and old. Is the master ready to give us the recipes for these dishes?"

Shao Dayu couldn't invite him, so it was good to bring back the recipes of these dishes, and made them into signature dishes, so that the chef practiced them carefully.

Shao Dayu said, "No. Actually, I didn't do these dishes today, and I didn't make these dishes. You smell my hands. ”

Shao Dayu let Xiao Si and Xiao Wu smell his hand, and there was no fresh fishy smell. He said: "Today's table of dishes are all made by children. ”

"Made of small fish?"

"Yes, it's all made of small fish. Xiaoyu has been learning to cook with me for a few years, and this kid is not good at words, but he has a job in his head and a good idea in his heart. It's also quite savvy to make fish. I may not have as many fish dishes, but my fish cooking skills are not below me at all. I'm lazy a lot now, and he's actually doing it a lot of the time. Half of yesterday's ten kinds of fish were made by him. ”

"Actually, when he was already on his own, I had planned for him to find another boat to work on, like his brother. But he wouldn't. ”

He didn't want to stay on the lake, he said that such a life was at a glance. This kid has more ambition than I am. Yesterday you said on the boat that you wanted to hire a fish master, and I see that you are sincere and easy to get along with. Thinking that I won't leave and let Xiaoyu go with you, we discussed it when we came back, and Xiaoyu was also very willing. ”

Shao Dayu called the small fish out. Zhuang Chuchu circled around Shao Xiaoyu several times, saying that he really didn't expect the fish made at such a young age to be so delicious. She grabbed Xiaoyu's hand and said, "Great! Xiaoyu, you will stay with us in Xiaomeishan in the future! I am older than you, you can call me sister in the future." ”

Shao Xiaoyu had never felt such enthusiasm, and his face turned red all of a sudden. Xiao Qi hurriedly stepped forward and freed Xiao Yu's hand from Zhuang Chuchu's hands: "In the future, they will all be their own people, you can find me or her for anything, you will call me Seventh Brother in the future." Xiao Yu nodded.

Everyone was very happy, and Zhuang Chuchu took five hundred taels of silver to Shao Dayu. said that Xiaoyu's salary will be counted from now on, and now Xiaomeishan is still under construction, and he will come to pick up Shao Xiaoyu to Xiaomeishan after half a year.

Shao Dayu said that it would not take five hundred taels for half a year, Zhuang Chuchu said: "If you have more, you should pay a deposit, just because you can repair and repair the house, so that Shao Yutou's marriage can be done as soon as possible." ”

The family was grateful. Shao Yutou said that he would teach Shao Xiaoyu all the dishes he knew with his father within half a year. Shao Dayu said that there was no need for Zhuang Chuchu to pick up the small fish again. Half a year later, he personally sent Xiaoyu there, and he had to discuss with Xiaoyu in person to set the recipe before returning.

Mrs. Zhuang Chuchu and Mrs. Xiaoqisun were very grateful. The Shaw family stayed again and again, so the group stayed at the Shao family for two more days and ate several delicious fish dishes, all made by small fish. Only then did they say goodbye one by one and begin the next journey.
