The mud egg has now been roasted into a big mud block, and Yang Huairen raised the wine jug in his hand and toasted the old man first. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old man smiled and raised the wine jug in his hand, "Today, I thank you for your hospitality, please!" ”

The old man focused on Yang Huairen's method of making grilled fish, and he didn't pay attention to the rich aroma of the pot of wine in his hand.

He first slowly raised the bottom of the wine jug, poured a little wine into his mouth, smashed his mouth a few times, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "Boy, where did you buy good wine?" This taste, the old man dares to say that if it is the second in the world, there is no other wine that can be the first in the world. ”

Yang Huairen said in his heart, it seems that it is time to expand the scale of production with Suiyuanchun, although the price of Suiyuanchun is high, but it can only be bought in the city of Tokyo, although there are also some foreign merchants to buy, but it is also sold to the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and it seems that there is no restaurant in Qizhou City.

If Yang Huairen said that he brought it from the capital, it was easy to reveal his identity, so he said, "This is a friend who brought back a fine wine from the capital, and it is said that it has just become popular in the capital, so it can't be bought in Qizhou." ”

The old man sighed when he heard this, "It's a pity, it's a pity that such a good wine only has this small pot, and after drinking it, I don't know if the old man will be able to drink such a liquid in his lifetime." ”

The old man secretly glanced at Yang Huairen when he said this, Yang Huairen guessed what the old man meant, and snickered in his heart, this old man wanted to ask me if there was still this wine at home, but he was embarrassed to speak directly with a cheeky face, and actually said the words "lifetime", which is really interesting.

"There are still a few altars in the boy's house, why don't you give the old man an address, and the boy will order someone to send two altars to the old man tomorrow."

"Oh, how does this work?"

The old man said politely, "Today, the little brother taught the old man to fish, and invited the old man to eat wine and grilled fish.

It's better to be like this, the old man paid for your two jars of wine, tomorrow is still this hour, we are still meeting here, I don't know how much this wine costs a jar? ”

Yang Huairen is embarrassed, looking at the old man's dress, he doesn't look like a rich man, although it is said that he collided with Yang Huairen, but Yang Huairen's cotton coat is in the Gaochang cotton jacket bought from the merchants of the Western Regions, and the price difference between the old man's ordinary cotton jacket is ten times.

The price of two jars of Suiyuan Spring Wine in Tokyo is ten yuan, and for Yang Huairen, ten yuan is really the same as drizzle now, and his own business plus the dividends of the restaurant chain are the same as thousands of dollars a day.

But it's different for an ordinary person, that is, a skilled craftsman, this ten yuan is also half a year's income, Yang Huairen really wants to tell the price of these two jars of wine, I'm afraid to scare this old man.

"Uncle, although this wine is good, it is not worth a few dollars, but it is not sold in Qizhou City at the moment, so it is precious.

Besides, the two of us can fish together by this Daming Lake, which is also fate, and talking about money hurts feelings, doesn't it? There's no way I'm going to ask for this money. ”

The old man stroked his beard and laughed, "Good, good, good!" You owe me a favor from my old man. ”

The two chatted happily, but Tianba's younger brother was not interested, he was not even very interested in Sui Yuanchun, only very interested in the grilled fish in the hot and fragrant steam lumps.

He tried several times to grab the lump of mud wrapped in the grilled fish and break it open, but it was so hot that he tried several times without success.

Yang Huairen saw that he was anxious, funny and angry, and handed him a anxious dinner knife, "How hot and panicked you are directly, poke a hole with a knife, and let the heat bubble up quickly!" ”

Tianba's younger brother took the kitchen knife with a smile, found a bubbling gap in the mud lump and poked it in, then shook it from side to side, and poked a hole out.

The smell of the grilled fish came out with the steam, which made the three of them feel appetizing when they smelled it. When the heat was almost up, Tianba's younger brother moved the lump of mud wrapped in grilled fish to the big ice cube he carried, and slowly peeled it off layer by layer with saliva.

The lotus leaves inside had been roasted, and the mud layer that adhered to the outside was peeled off, revealing four grilled fish that were still bubbling with fish oil.

Freshly caught and processed fish are wrapped in lotus leaves and lake mud, and roasted in the fire, and the skin of the fish is already golden as if it has been roasted by the fire, but it is not in direct contact with the fire, but is heated evenly, and it is only roasted, but there is no place for baking.

However, the fish retains a lot of water and a kind of steamed tenderness, which is what makes it crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

This method of grilling not only locks in the original umami of the fresh fish without losing it, but also the fragrance of the mud and lotus leaves on the outside also penetrates into the fish, adding a lot of lotus fragrance.

There were no chopsticks at the moment, so Yang Huairen had already used the remaining few relatively straight firewoods to cut off the skin with a knife, made simple chopsticks and distributed them to the old man and Chen Tianba.

Fresh fish in winter is not as soft and smooth as the fish in summer and autumn, but the firm flesh is full of toughness, and after this special grilling, in addition to being crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it has a springy texture.

Yang Huairen tasted it and felt that it tasted similar to the grilled fish made by his father when he was a child, and his father's face resurfaced in his memory.

Brother Tianba's whole body was refreshed after taking a bite, and he only hated that there were no twenty bowls of rice in front of him to make him full.

The old man took a pair of chopsticks and looked at them before putting them in his mouth, the smell made him feel as if he was back to the good old days of eighteen, and his body was light and fluttering, as if he was about to fly.

He closed his eyes and enjoyed this seemingly ordinary, but very rare delicacy, his face was full of satisfied expressions, his head kept pointing, his body shook rhythmically, and his mouth kept saying "mmmmmmmm

The old man felt refreshed, ate a bite of fish, and drank a sip of wine in a small wine jug, and his body began to feel warm from the stomach to the whole body.

After eating a fish and drinking a pot of wine, the old man felt that he was all over the body, and the feeling was simply wonderful.

It's a pity that I only caught four fish just now, and I didn't have enough of it, and there were only four clean fish bones left on the ice.

A hundred paces away, both the ice-miners and the fishmongers on the other side seemed to smell the smell of fish that they had never smelled before, and even a flock of chaffins flew out of the bushes, flying and landing on the ice cube without any scruples, pecking at the delicious food that remained in the cracks of the fish bones.
