Chapter Twenty-Nine: Making Fish, Wild Things

In fact, no matter what kind of fish it is, it can be made into fish soup.

It's just that some fish soups are fresher and tastier.

Lee's fish soup this time was originally made with other purposes.

After listening to what Zhao Yu said, she immediately took Zhao Yu to the vegetable garden in the backyard, and without feeling distressed, she picked up a basket of wild onions, wild garlic, wild mint and other wild vegetables that could remove the smell and deodor.

Zhao Yu watched from the sidelines, and said in her heart that according to the amount of her milk, not to mention that it was enough to make fish soup at noon, and even fish soup could be made the day after tomorrow.

After harvesting the wild vegetables, Li took the vegetables to the well and cleaned them up.

Zhao Yu followed aside and thought about persuasion, and said in his heart that these are not dishes, and it is useless to have too many dishes.

I don't plan to eat it in my stomach, how much can I use to remove the fish, it's better to let them grow slowly, and I want to eat them when I want to.

It's not about sustainability!

But when the words came to her mouth, Zhao Yu was directly persuaded by the hot gaze in her grandmother's eyes.

Zhao Yu: Forget it, I guess it's fish soup is really delicious.

was talking about fish soup, and outside the door, Zhao Shanchuan broke in with a bucket full of fish in each hand.

After sleeping all night, Zhao Shanchuan is now in good spirits, and he got up early in the morning and went to the river with the rest of the family to fish.

According to Zhao Fuxiang's meaning, their family is engaged in selling fish, and they get up early and go back and forth between towns and villages on weekdays, and they are also tired for a long time.

It's time to get some rest and get ready for the next summer harvest.

It's just that everyone doesn't think so, they are all ordinary peasant men, who are struggling to make food and clothing on weekdays, thinking about earning more money to live, how can they really stay at home and not work.

No, it was only a night's rest, and everyone still got up in the morning and continued to work.

Zhao Fuxiang is worse than them, Li said that last night, Zhao Fuxiang went to Changping County early today to inquire about the situation.

No one is more relaxed than anyone else!

"The second child is back, put the fish bucket aside first, and I'll clean it up later."

Seeing Zhao Shanchuan coming back, Li hurriedly took the time to reply.

"I know, mother, there are still a few buckets of fish by the river that I haven't brought back, so I'll leave."

Zhao Shanchuan is also a real person, after hearing Li say this, he directly carried the two large buckets of fish in his hand to the well without thinking about it.

Seeing that Li was squatting by the well to clean up, Zhao Shanchuan threw off his arms and started to fetch two buckets of well water from the well and put them aside.

Li Shi looked at Zhao Shanchuan's sweaty appearance, and he was also distressed, waving his hand while still speaking, "Okay, okay, you go and get busy, just do it." ”

"By the way, tell the boss a few of them, my son will come back early after this busy period, cook at home at noon today, thinking that the fish soup made yesterday is delicious, and continue today."

Originally, in order to save food, most people did not late for lunch during the slack time.

But at the moment, the family is too physically exhausted to catch fish.

Li gritted his teeth, but still took out the silver money to buy a new small stone of coarse grain, and their family returned to the state of three meals a day.

Not surprisingly, this should continue until the end of this year's summer harvest.

"Hey, I see."

Zhao Shanchuan scratched his head and grinned, revealing his beautiful and neat big white teeth.

Stretched out his hand and wiped his sweaty head casually, shook his hands left and right, and Zhao Shanchuan strode away from the yard.

Seeing that Zhao Shanchuan was gone, Li raised his elbow and stabbed Zhao Yu in front of him, signaling the girl to hurry back to her senses, "Erya, hurry up and go with your milk to see the fish in the fish bucket, what's the point about making fish soup?" ”

Although Li is illiterate, she has lived a long time and has seen a lot.

Although she called many of the names of the fish in the river, she had never caught a fish, and she had seen a lot of them by the river just because of the different looking fish.

The black and white fish I used yesterday made a delicious fish soup.

If I change to other fish today, will the fish soup continue to taste good?

Lee didn't know.

That's why she needs to ask Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu was stabbed by her milk, her body was not stable for a while, and a big fart squatted and swayed to the ground.

There is a lot of shade around the well, and Li has been busy washing and scrubbing, and the surrounding ground is overflowing with a lot of water.

Zhao Yu squatted down like this, and his pants were wet.

Zhao Yu......

Zhao Yu scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly got up from the ground.

It's just that the dampness in the butt behind her makes her a little uncomfortable, and she always wants to reach out and tidy it up.

However, Li was in a hurry, and Zhao Yu could only let go of the awkwardness in his heart and followed behind Li's buttocks.

Zhao Yu poked a small head out of Li's back and glanced down at the fish in the bucket.

At this time, the bucket was filled with fish, and there was a faint illusion of overflow.

Between the swings of the fish's tail in the bucket, the water splashes around the irritation.

Looking at the different types of fish in the bucket, Zhao Yuxin said, if you really want to talk about it, there are indeed many types of river fish in the river at the entrance of their village.

First, there are four freshwater fish of green, grass, silver carp and Yong to divide the world equally, plus crucian carp, mandarin fish, catfish and other flowers bloom, in short, there are a lot of freshwater fish, you can eat more.

In order to see more clearly, Zhao Yu bypassed the Li clan who was blocking in front of her, leaned over to the bucket and looked in with her eyes.

The big smart eyes move with the fish in the bucket.

That's right, Zhao Yu plans to pick the fish himself.

Seeing the opportunity, Zhao Yu stretched out his hand and motioned for the Li family to hurry up.

Li rolled up his sleeves, his hands were as fast as lightning, and he grabbed the fish in the bucket directly, good guy, a grass carp about a foot and a half was carried in her hand like this.

"This fish makes soup, is it okay?"

The Li family tilted his head, and it was naturally Zhao Yu who asked.

Obviously, although Li Shi shot extremely fast, there were still mistakes, and the fish she caught at the moment was not Zhao Yu's finger.

Looking at the grass carp in Li's hand that was still alive even if it was out of the water, Zhao Yu twisted his eyebrows and tilted his head to think about it.

Grass carp for soup?

I haven't tried it, but it seems to work.

Zhao Yu nodded, agreeing with Li's idea of using grass carp to make soup.

Anyway, in her heart, the grass carp meat is tender but not greasy, appetizing and nourishing.

Make a soup, although it is not as famous as braised grass carp, sweet and sour grass carp, soft grass carp, and grass carp tofu, but you can eat it!

But it's a pity, the best thing to cook is the sauerkraut fish.

The sauerkraut accumulated in the winter at the level family has been eaten, and there is no hair at the moment, so I can only think about it in my heart.

At this time, Zhao Yu began to diverge her thinking, and the Li family on the other side directly threw the grass carp into the wooden basin she prepared.

Having learned the lesson of yesterday, Li felt that a grass carp might not be enough to eat.

Looking at the wooden barrel and thinking about it, Li Shi followed and reached out and fished another one from it.

This time, the species was changed again, and it was actually a mandarin fish about a foot long.

Yo he, Zhao Yu opened his mouth wide, surprised!

I didn't expect there to be mandarin fish in the barrel.

It's amazing!

However, the mandarin fish is good!

The mandarin fish has delicate flesh, few spines and more meat, and is delicious, which is the best among fish.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Zhihe wrote the famous poem "The egret flies in front of the Xisai Mountain, and the peach blossoms flow and the mandarin fish is fat" in "The Fisherman's Song".

What does this mean, it shows that the mandarin fish is really delicious!

It's a bit of a waste to make such delicious fish into fish soup.

Zhao Yu said uncertainly, "Milk, or this fish should be steamed." ”

Zhao Yu drooled and suggested that Li change the way to eat.

She licked her lips that were a little dry, and said that although she couldn't eat squirrel osmanthus fish, eight-treasure osmanthus fish and other precious delicacies, this steamed osmanthus fish could still be arranged with hard work.

For fish with delicious meat, steaming is the best way to preserve its deliciousness.

Faced with such a mandarin fish, Zhao Yu decided to treat it with the highest courtesy.

"Okay, then steam."

Li threw the mandarin fish into the basin, waved his big hand, and directly agreed with Zhao Yu's approach.

Anyway, she just wants to verify the problem of defishing.

The earthy smell is gone, and it makes no difference whether it is steamed or boiled.

I have to say that although the two grandparents have different brain circuits, they magically think of going together.

The two methods of steaming and cooking are enough for their family to have a simple lunch.

Once you've decided on how to make the fish, the next steps are much simpler.

According to Zhao Yu's command, Li cleaned up all the fish neatly.

Then don't forget to use wild onions, wild garlic and salt water to soak it to remove the smell.

Not long after finishing this stubble, Yuan, who had gone up the mountain to hunt in the morning, rushed back.

Yuan Shi carried a sickle, carried a basket on his back, and walked into the courtyard with brisk steps.

Because he had just come back, he hadn't had time to clean up, and Yuan was still stained with grass and wood chips.

"Mother, Erya" Yuan shouted with a smile, and then rushed to the backyard with a roar.

Li Shi watched his second daughter-in-law run to the backyard in a hurry, and suddenly rolled his eyes angrily, and thought of the heavy back basket on Yuan's back, and couldn't sit still.

"Erya, you are guarding here, and the milk will come back when you see it."

After saying this, Li chased after him in a hurry.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law disappeared in front of Zhao Yu's eyes one after the other.

Zhao Yu......

Forget it, she's better to watch the fish.

It's really no wonder that Yuan walked fast and urgently, who let her go up the mountain this time, and she gained a lot.

I don't know what happened, but as soon as she went up the mountain, she ran into a pheasant that hit her in her arms.

followed, Yuan seemed to be open, picking up all the way, and before she could finish reading all the traps she had dug, the back basket behind her was filled with prey.

Including three pheasants, four hares, and even a small wild boar cub weighing nearly twenty pounds.

Good guy, Yuan himself is red-eyed.

This luck is also good!

Hurriedly wrapped these treasures with branches and rattans, Yuan didn't stop long, and went down the mountain with a roar.

For fear of being seen on the road, she deliberately walked all the way along the winding path, and she didn't dare to stop more.

Fortunately, I returned home safely in the end.

Worried that the wild boar cubs in the back basket would be injured, Yuan quickly ran into the backyard.

The area of their backyard is large, and the surrounding area is not small with chicken racks and courtyard walls, which can hide living creatures.

Carefully put the two live pheasants and four hares into the vacant cage, Yuan held the little wild boar cub in his arms, and carried a pheasant with his neck twisted in one hand, raised his head, and rushed to Li Shi head-on against the wall.
