Chapter 156: Small Things and Big Crafts
The boat boss has his own rules and regulations, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, sometimes stopping, there are many ways to go, and Su You is still in the stage of learning with an open mind.
For example, after noon today, the boat boss stopped the boat and let everyone move freely, saying that he would have to set off before dawn tomorrow, and crossed the not very friendly Shama Department in one go, and arrived at the beeswax shop of the department.
The boat leaned against a stream, the blue gauze tent was pulled up, and the white rattan deck chair was walked on the Ah Ho Mi and Su You, and in front of it was a bamboo pole rack, on which were placed two golden bamboo fishing rods.
The bottom of the fishing rod is a kite wheel-like reel, which is in the shape of a bagua, and the latest folding knife-grade ball bearings are used on the central axis, representing the highest level of metal processing technology in Shijia Iron Workshop.
The fishing line is pure mulberry silk, three filaments are woven into a thin line, and then the three fine threads are woven into a thicker line of a larger diameter, which is gradually thickened, and the wet process is also used, that is, the water glass solution is added when winding, and the weaving is more compact, representing the highest silk thread processing level of the Sujia Printing and Dyeing Workshop.
The rod has a set of magnetic rings, from large to small, embedded in wire claws that are used to cross the line.
Although the cavity inside the magnetic ring is extremely small and can only pass through the line, there is glaze inside, so the inner wall is smooth and abnormal, and will not hurt the silk thread, which is the superb glazing technology of Shijia Porcelain Workshop.
The handle is inlaid with luodian, and the paint color is very gorgeous, not to mention, this is the latest mineral paint technology developed by the Cheng family.
A small fishing rod represents the highest level of craftsmanship in the Song Dynasty.
There is a cotton knot on the silk thread, which holds the silk thread very tightly after absorbing water, and can be slid on the silk thread to adjust the fishing depth.
The cotton knot is used to block the small copper ring of the Nandi floating, after the drift is blocked, the drift body is not underwater, holding the bait pendant, and only a short piece of drifting tail is exposed on the water surface.
On the tail is a small red-green mesh, separated by a thin black lacquer line in the middle, a small float, but nearly a month of effort.
The fish hook is bent after fine grinding of fine iron wire, and then carburized, with extremely high strength, extremely fine hook body, and some elasticity, which is more than the advanced manual hook of later generations, and is not different.
Su You's hook has no barbs, and for him, the current waters are simply fish warehouses, and with the skills he brought in later generations, running fish is a joke.
There is also a small delicate clip on the top of the rod, connected to a thin spring, and a small bell on the top of the spring, and the small bell will jingle when the rod shakes slightly.
Next to the chaise longue is a small table with a black iron stove burning pine cone and bamboo charcoal.
A delicate white copper kettle sits on top.
There is a coffee table on the side of the two of them, a small vase with a few wild flowers on it, and a set of crystal-like glass bowls of tea on each side.
There is also a fruit box with melon seeds, small dried meat, dried fruits, and sweets.
Ten meters away from the two of them, there were three samurai from the Second Forest Division, their hands pressed to the hilt of their swords, motionless.
In the surrounding mountains and forests, there is actually a small team, but you can't see it.
Su You squinted his eyes as if he was asleep, although Ah Homi was still a Song costume and a very beautiful girl, she was pressed under her buttocks with one leg crossed, and she didn't sit on it, and smashed Su You with pumpkin seeds.
Su You was so troubled that he had to sit up: "Sister, what are you going to do?" ”
Ah Homi raised his hand again, and when he saw Su You sitting up, he put the melon seeds in his mouth and bit the shell: "I want to eat grilled fish!" ”
Su You lay back again: "I'll wait for a while to come back and roast it for you." ”
Ah Ho Mi didn't do it: "It's not as delicious as you when you tie it up!" ”
Su You rolled his eyes: "It's not all the same seasoning, besides, today's fish is big, and it's not delicious to grill." ”
Ah Homi smashed Su oil with melon seed shells again: "Then you catch a few small ones." ”
Su You had no choice but to stand up again: "Sister, you didn't do it yesterday when you fished for the small one, you have to fish for the big one." Today I changed the big hook, and you have to catch the small one again. My rig is very delicate, and it is a hassle to change the strands! ”
Suyou's fishing rig is also divided into a main line and a subline, and the subline is one size smaller than the main line, so that even if you encounter a big fish, at most the subline will be broken and a hook will be lost, while the rest of the rig can be saved.
Ah Homi said: "No matter, just eat grilled fish!" ”
The siblings were making a fuss, when the float clicked twice, then disappeared, followed by a slight movement of the rod, and the bell rang.
Su You hurriedly got up to close the rod, and after a few rounds, he shook in front of him, and it was a red-billed carp of more than two catties.
Su You said to Ah Homi: "It's the smallest, you can only bake it." ”
Ah Homi clapped his hands: "Great! ”
A samurai took the fish, pulled a knife from his waist, and prepared to cut it.
When Su You saw the knife, he stopped the samurai: "Show me the knife." ”
Ah Homi waved his hand: "Go and cut the fish, I have the knife here, look at me." ”
After speaking, he took out a small knife with a silver sheath from his arms.
Su You pulled out the knife, which was thin, thin and sharp, and what was even more strange was that the blade was inverted, contrary to the usual blade, more like a small straight-handled scythe.
Su You turned over and over to see the novelty, and there was a tiger claw knife type in later generations that was also reversed, but the blade was very thick, which was very different from this one.
Ah Homi smiled: "This is a fish knife, which is very suitable for killing fish on weekdays, shaving meat from bones, repairing nails, and beards." ”
"The most common use is to trim horses' hooves, rescue horses, cut reins and cargo ropes in an emergency, fast and convenient."
Su You looked at the knife with a unique shape: "I really pay attention to learning everywhere, this trip out, I have learned a lot about ships, bows and crossbows, marches, whistles, and orders!" ”
Ah Homi smiled at him with cross-eyes: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, those old masters and gentlemen in your school palace value articles, this time they have been out for so long, don't bring some poems back, be careful of the board!" ”
The bell rang again, and Su You ran over to collect the one over there: "It's hard to rest for a long time, sister, you know how to sweep me!" ”
The flavor of grilled fish is very strong because of the large number of spices used in it: bay leaf, cinnamon, ginger, fennel, cardamom, cloves, lingcao, lemongrass, perilla, ......
Oilseeds include lard, butter, tea oil, soybean oil, and spicy rice oil.
In addition, bean paste, Yongchun dew, minced chicken, snow salt, pepper, green onions, garlic, ginger......
Although it is said to be grilled fish, it is actually three processes: frying fish, stir-frying, and stewing, which has nothing to do with grilling.
The Wanzhou grilled fish of later generations is a famous dish that is well-known throughout the country.
When the samurai of the Erlin Department cleaned up the fish and brought it back, Su You asked him to use a fish knife to make a cross knife on the back of the fish, and change the inside of the fish to a straight knife, and then use garlic juice to mix rice wine and smear it on the top of the carp.
Two days ago, in order to make the grilled fish, Ah Homi and Su You have destroyed a square copper ear basin worth three times, in line with the principle of waste utilization, Su You decided to play barbecue often along the way.
After the fish flavor is enough, let the samurai of the second forest department carry the fish head and pour oil, fry it on both sides and put it at the bottom of the basin to fry it.
Fry the fish and set it aside, then stir-fry.
Scoop out the excess fried fish oil, add lard and butter to burn again until about seven ripe, pour various spices into the stir-fry until fragrant, and then add bean paste and spicy rice oil sauce to stir-fry, the sauce on the pot surface will soon be red and bright, and the aroma is pleasant.
Wuqian Yongchun dew was poured into it, taking away the fishy smell of oil and the medicinal smell of spices, and finally adding an appropriate amount of minced chicken and salt.
The valley is slowly filled with the aroma of tempting appetite.
In another pot, stir-fry the side dishes, add the stir-fried spice base to the bottom of the pot, and then add an appropriate amount of soybean oil and green onions, garlic slices, and ginger slices.
The side dishes are placed in order according to the ripeness of the ingredients, and after they are all fried, add salt, minced chicken, pepper, white sesame seeds, crispy peanuts, crispy soybeans, chopped green onions, and coriander.
Spread the fried fish to the bottom of the square copper ear basin, arrange the fried fish, and pour the fried side dishes over the grilled fish, and the dish is complete.
Ah Homi has a very good reason: "This dish must be eaten hot, so you can't wait for them to come back!" Hurry up and bring it over! My brother is not allowed to take back the wine, so bring it together! ”
