Chapter 197 Grilled Fish

Xiao Ding first came to the river, left a branch and probed the depth of the water, fortunately it was not very deep, so he said: "Officer Shao, Assistant Meng, you wait for me on the shore, I will go down to catch fish, I used to go down to the river to fish, but I can be regarded as a veteran."

Meng Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, then Officer Shao and I will pick up some firewood and branches nearby, and we will use it to grill fish." ”

After the tasks were divided, they all started to act immediately, Meng Chuan went to find some branches, and when he came to string fish, Officer Shao went to pick up some dry firewood and came back.

Xiao Ding's technique is very good, and after a while, he touched four or five big fish from the river, and then threw them on the shore, Xiao Ding still wanted to touch them, Meng Chuan hurriedly said: "Xiao Ding, don't touch it, it will be wasted if you can't finish eating." ”

Hearing Meng Chuan's words, Xiao Ding reluctantly withdrew his hand, and then walked to the shore.

At this time, Officer Shao also packed up a large pile of firewood, Meng Chuan and Secretary Shao immediately set up the firewood, lit the fire, and said to Xiao Ding: "Xiao Ding, hurry up, it's too cold in the river." ”

It was winter, and although the river had not yet frozen, the temperature was close to freezing, so I immediately gathered around the fire and started to make a fire.

In Meng Chuan's marching bag, there was a little spare medicine, salt, which had never been useful, but this time it could be regarded as useful, Meng Chuan took out a small jar of salt and a knife from the bag, and walked to the river.

Seeing this, Xiao Ding immediately prepared to go over to help, Meng Chuan waved his hand and said, "I'll do this fish alone, you can just roast the fire there." ”

Meng Chuan threw the fish to the ground, and the fish fainted, then disemboweled, took out the internal organs and gills, and began to clean.

In this winter, it was really cold enough to clean the fish, but fortunately, Meng Chuan's hand speed was fast enough, and the four fish were cleaned in a short time.

Meng Chuan went over with four fish, and Secretary Shao had never grilled fish, so he thought that he could roast it directly by inserting it with a stick.

Meng Chuan looked at Officer Shao holding four sticks and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Officer Shao pointed to the fish and said, "Isn't it grilled fish, it must be grilled with a stick." ”

Meng Chuan saw that Officer Shao had no experience in grilling fish, so he said: "This must be baked with a stick on it, but it can't be directly inserted, you skim some fine branches first, and I'll process it for him first." ”

The grilled fish must be the larger the heating area, the faster it will be roasted, so the belly of the fish should be cut very open, and then the two pieces of fish meat should be stretched open with thin branches, so that a fish will become a flat shape, and only then can it be inserted with thick branches, Officer Shao looked at Meng Chuan's very skilled appearance, and asked: "Second Lieutenant Meng, you used to do a lot." ”

Meng Chuan said with a smile: "I used to like picnics, so I often grilled fish to eat, and sometimes I forgot to bring the tools for grilling fish, so I used this method to roast, this method is fast, and fragrant, and the taste is very good." ”

The other three fish were also made in this way, and then inserted on the ground, and let it roast slowly, and a few people roasted on the fire, watching the changes in the fish, chatting, and it was really pleasant.

Meng Chuan said: "I have a lunch box in my backpack, I'll go boil some boiling water to drink." ”

The lunch boxes are all iron boxes, and they are not afraid of burning, Meng Chuan scooped a box of water in the river, and then built a simple small stove with stones, put the lunch box on it, and boiled the water.

When grilling fish, the back of the fish is grilled towards the fire, not too close, otherwise it is easy to paste, put too far, and it is not cooked for a long time, and it is definitely cooked after an hour of baking.

But when it was just baked for half an hour, the back of the fish began to squeak and oil, and the smell of the fish also diffused, Secretary Shao and Xiao Ding couldn't wait to ask when they smelled the fish fragrance: "Assistant Meng, when will this fish be roasted?" ”

Meng Chuan smiled: "Don't worry, I'm going to bake it for a while, I'll sprinkle some salt on it first, and wait until it tastes good." ”

Meng Chuan unscrewed the small salt jar, poured a small pinch and put it in the palm of his hand, and then slowly sprinkled it on the fish, the salt can not be sprinkled too much, otherwise it will be salty, and the salt is used for flavor.

The four fish were evenly sprinkled with a little salt, and the fragrance of the fish was even more overflowing, and both of them couldn't wait to taste it.

After Meng Chuan put the salt jar away, he said, "It's going to be roasted for twenty minutes, don't worry, four fish of this size are definitely enough for you to eat." ”

At this time, the water was also gurgling and bubbling, Meng Chuan found two wooden sticks and brought the lunch box to the side of the fire, let it cool a little, and when he ate grilled fish, he would definitely be thirsty, and he could quench his thirst by drinking this water.

Officer Shao smelled the fragrance of the fish, his stomach was hungry, and he was looking at the fish and looking at the watch for a while, and after fifteen minutes, Secretary Shao really couldn't bear it, and his stomach was going to twitch if he didn't eat some.

After Officer Shao stood up, he said: "I don't care, even if it is raw, I have to eat it, my stomach is drumming, and if I don't eat it, I will be hungry to death." ”

This fire is burning relatively vigorously, so it is almost cooked, Meng Chuan smiled: "It's almost cooked, you can eat it, you be careful to burn it." ”

Officer Shao hurriedly picked up three fish, one by one, Officer Shao liked to eat a little salty, so he said to Meng Chuan: "Second Lieutenant Meng, you give me the salt jar, and I will pour a little." ”

After Meng Chuan handed the salt jar to Officer Shao, he instructed: "Don't pour too much salt, otherwise you will be disgusted if you eat too much." ”

Officer Shao nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know." Then learn Meng Chuan to pour the salt into the palm of his hand first, and then sprinkle it little by little, and the sprinkling is quite even.

Then I took a bite, the taste of this grilled fish is simply not to say, the outside is charred and the inside is tender, and it tastes crispy, but the aroma of the fish has not been lost at all, especially the oil from the fish grill, accompanied by the white and tender fish, it is simply delicious.

Xiao Ding also felt a little light, and hurriedly said: "Officer Shao, you give me some salt, and my food is a little light." ”

Officer Shao was concentrating on eating fish, so he had time to get him a salt jar, so he said vaguely: "Take it yourself." ”

Meng Chuan took a bite of this fish, but felt that the taste was just right, if this grilled fish was put too much salt, it would cover up the umami of the fish, and he would be very thirsty after eating.

At this time, the boiling water in the lunch box also turned into warm water, Meng Chuan handed the lunch box to the two of them, you eat slowly, come and drink some water.

Officer Shao, who had killed a grilled fish in less than two minutes, also felt a little thirsty, so he took the lunch box and began to drink water.

Meng Chuan's fish put a little salt at the beginning, so it was not very salty, and it was eaten slowly, so it was not very thirsty after eating.

After Xiao Ding and Officer Shao finished eating, they divided the other fish, because they were sprinkled with salt, so their mouths were very dry, and a little boiling water in the lunch box was not enough for the two to drink, so the two of them were ready to drink some river water.

Meng Chuan said: "If you still want to stand up tomorrow, don't drink this river water, otherwise diarrhea will pull you out of prostration." ”

Officer Shao and Xiao Ding immediately reflexively asked, "What should I do, I'm so thirsty now." ”

Meng Chuan said: "Otherwise, you just wait for this water to boil, or you open your mouth wide and drink some northwest wind, now the moisture in the air is more sufficient, and it should be able to relieve a little." ”

Officer Shao and Xiao Ding glanced at each other, immediately grew their mouths, and drank the northwest wind, not to mention, it has some effect, although they are still very thirsty, but it can indeed relieve a little. (To be continued.) )
