Yang Huairen already had two pots of Sui Yuanchun in his baggage, because he was afraid that he would be cold after sitting for a long time, so he was going to drink a few sips to keep warm when he felt cold. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Now I heard the old man say that he wanted to drink, and I don't know if the old man saw or smelled it, so Yang Huairen generously took out the two pots of wine, handed a pot to the old man, and then said: "It just so happens that the kid brought out the wine, as for the fish, no one else needs to do it, the kid will give you a grilled fish to taste." ”

"Freshly grilled fish? Is it just baked here? ”

The old man's eyes lit up, and his mouth began to spit as he spoke, which made Yang Huairen feel that this old man was really funny.

At this moment, Tianba's younger brother had had enough, and he ran back without knowing what he was hiding with his hands behind his back, his face bloomed with a smile, and he said, "Brother, do you think I brought you something back?" ”

Yang Huairen looked at him sweating profusely, didn't know what trick he was playing, and asked with a smile, "What?" ”

Brother Tianba happily replied, "Look, it's a fish!" ”

Brother Tianba took out a large shuttle-shaped ice cube weighing more than ten catties from behind his back, one end of the ice cube was big and the other was small, just like a big fish.

Yang Huairen pretended to be annoyed: "You are really good at playing, and you are not too tired to run over with such a large piece of ice, right?" Since we can't run out of strength, I'll send you to pick up some dry firewood around the area, and we'll roast fish by the lake this afternoon." ”

Brother Tianba smiled stupidly, turned around and was about to run, Yang Huairen hurriedly shouted, "Come back, come back, put down the ice in your hand, just for me to use as a cutting board, you really want to hold such a big piece of ice to pick up firewood?" ”

Brother Tianba looked down at the big ice fish he was still holding in his hand, and then he turned around and put it down embarrassedly, scratching his head, "Forget, forget, hehe......"

Looking at his back as he strode away, the old man said in surprise: "This kid is really big, it's a pity to be stupid." ”

Yang Huairen shook his head and said with a smile: "You are always looking away this time, this kid looks stupid, but in fact, he is fine, you will know when you eat fish for a while, hehe." ”

The ice cube that Chen Tianba brought over was just the right size to be used as a makeshift cutting board.

Yang Huairen took out a sharp special kitchen knife from his arms, took off the hat on his head and put it next to the ice cube, and then took out a fish from the fish basket and placed it flat on top of the ice cube.

The water carried by the fish when it came out of the water was frozen into ice cubes by the cold air at this time, and when it was put on the ice, it seemed to be frozen on it, which also saved Yang Huairen a lot of effort to fix the fish.

He skillfully started to reverse the scale from the tail of the fish, and the technique was very skillful, and the scales flew to the ground in an instant, but the skin of the fish was not destroyed.

When the fish scales were late, Yang Huairen cut the belly of the fish again, and only used a knife to circle the belly of the fish, and all the internal organs and stains in the belly of the fish slid out of the belly along the blade, not only the inside of the belly of the fish was clean, but Yang Huairen's hands were not dirty at all.

This made the old man who watched him remove the scales from the side also amazed, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Boy, what are you doing, your knife work is really much better than the chef in Taibai Building." ”

Yang Huairen and the old man met in Pingshui, in fact, they couldn't talk about friendship, but they were fishing in the same place together, which was considered a bit of fate, and between the words, there were some tempers, and so far I haven't even inquired about the old man's surname.

So Yang Huairen didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he just said casually, "The kid is just a little bit of cooking skills, it's nothing." ”

The old man also heard the meaning of his words, and no longer asked for the bottom of the matter, smiled faintly, and continued to watch intently as he dealt with the remaining three fish.

It didn't take much effort, but the four one-foot-long fish were all processed, and it seemed that they could be directly roasted with clean branches.

Although the fresh fish caught in cold water does not smell very fishy, the freshwater fish itself does not have much saltiness, and without salt, it will not be able to bring out the real umami of fresh fish, and the taste of grilled fish will be worse.

Yang Huairen raised his head, stretched his neck and looked around, then suddenly stood up and said, "Uncle, please wait a while, I will go to those fishmongers over there to have a look, and see if they have brought salt with them." ”

The old man nodded, "Well, yes, I also know that no salt will affect the umami of fresh fish." ”

Yang Huairen was also lucky, many fishmongers carried small packets of coarse salt, and he only spent some copper coins to bring back a small bag.

Yang Huairen mixed the salt with ice cubes on the cutting board, and then evenly spread it on the four cleaned fresh fish and the belly of the fish, and then he opened the mouth of the wine jug, and also smeared the whole body of the fresh fish with white wine.

When the old man thought that he was done dealing with it, Yang Huairen did not stop, and ran to the other side where there were many ice pickers.

In winter, the lotus flowers on the water surface have withered, but many lotus leaves under the water surface have not withered because the temperature has plummeted, and they have been frozen in the ice.

These ice cubes that are still green lotus leaves frozen in the ice don't want ice pickers, so they casually discard them by the lake, let Yang Huairen fish a piece over, fall on the ground and break the ice, take a few lotus leaves that are still intact, and run back.

He wrapped the four fish that had been simply marinated with these lotus leaves, dug up a lot of wet mud from the lake, and wrapped the lotus leaves wrapped in mud again.

The old man couldn't understand it, didn't he just take a branch to put the fish on it, light the fire, and add it directly to the top to cook it? This kid wasted half a day of hard work and made lotus leaves and mud, what is this for?

At this time, Brother Tianba also came back, and there were many plants of various colors around Daming Lake, and a lot of dead branches could be found after withering in winter, so Brother Tianba came back with a large bundle.

Yang Huairen dug a small pit with thicker branches in a dry clearing that was not covered with snow, then put the mud eggs covered with fish in it, covered it with some dirt, and then lit the dead branches piled up in the shape of a hill directly on top.

Brother Tianba guessed that the mud egg was wrapped in the fish that Yang Huairen had caught just now, but he didn't understand why Yang Huairen did this, and he looked puzzled like the old man, and at the same time felt novel, but he was even more full of expectations for the taste of the fresh fish roasted by this roasting method.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, the pile of dry firewood was burned, and when the smoke cleared, Yang Huairen used a branch to push aside the burned firewood ash again, and dug out the mud eggs buried under the fire again.

Yang Huairen kicked back the mud egg that was still steaming and had been roasted black and hard like a ball, and said with a smile: "The grilled fish is finished, it's time to eat!" ”
