Chapter 35: Stir-fried yellow eel
"Eldest sister, these are what you and your uncle went to the field to catch last night, what are you doing when you catch them, my mother is scared when she looks at them?" Huang Liu looked at the contents of the barrel, kept drilling around, like a snake, Huang Liu's body couldn't help but tremble.
"Mother, these are called yellow eels, whether they can be sold for money, my daughter doesn't know, but they must be edible, and they are very delicious, and my mother eats them and wants to eat them."
"Big sister, this thing looks weird and scary, why haven't we seen it before?" Huang Jiang also asked.
"Our hometown is the authentic north, and Wenfu City is between the north and the south, and this thing is afraid that it is a product of the south, so it is normal that we have not seen it."
"Eldest sister, this is what you said was fun yesterday, why didn't you wake up the fourth brother?"
"It's just that, didn't wake up the fifth sister?" The fifth sister also chimed in.
"You slept like a piglet, I can't wake you up, eldest sister, and now I blame the eldest sister." Huang Yiyun scratched the noses of the two of them and said.
"Eldest sister, didn't we release the ground cage yesterday? Have you gone to the ground cage today? The second sister suddenly thought of this.
"The eldest sister has just been woken up by you, and she hasn't had time to go to the cage?"
"Eldest sister, I took the third sister and the fourth brother to the ground cage." After the second sister heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Cheng, don't go to the river, stare at them and don't play in the water. I also brought a wooden bucket to fill the fish. Huang Yiyun said a few words.
"Eldest sister, we know, let's go." The second sister waved her hand excitedly and took a few small ones to the ground cage.
"You're still young, just play at home. How fun do you think yellow eels are? Huang Jiangshi grabbed Qilang, and after seeing that Qilang was not happy, he curled his mouth and wanted to cry, Huang Jiangshi hurriedly pointed to the yellow eel in the barrel.
When the seventh brother looked at it, he didn't care about going to the ground cage, holding the edge of the barrel, and staring at the yellow eel in the barrel with a wink.
"Why are you all gathered in the kitchen, what are you doing here? Where are the babies going? After Huang Li and his uncle came back from weeding and fertilizing in the dry field to catch insects, they saw Huang Liu's few blocked in the backyard kitchen, and after seeing a few babies running happily to the field at the door, Huang Li asked with some curiosity.
Now that the house has been built, and the dry land is also planted, Huang Li does not restrict his children, and when he is not busy with farming, as long as he does not go to the river, he can just play with them
"You're all looking at the eel! At first, I thought the eel was a snake. You're not scared, are you? Huang Conghe laughed.
"Yellow eel." Huang Li said a little strangely when he heard this word for the first time.
"I'm scared, my mother, my aunt and my sisters were scared just now, and now Shichiro is not afraid." Huang Yiwen ran forward, threw down Huang Conghe, raised his little head and said.
"This is the yellow eel, eldest sister, you went out with the second child yesterday to catch this thing." After Huang Li saw the yellow eel in the barrel.
After seeing these yellow eels rolling in the wooden barrel one by one, Huang Li was also startled at first, but after knowing that this yellow eel was not a snake, Huang Li was not afraid, and after taking a closer look, he said, "Big sister, this thing will be accepted by the big bowl of vegetable restaurant in the town?" ”
Huang Li asked with questions.
"I will accept it, even if we don't accept it, our family can eat it by ourselves, this is not meat anyway." Huang Yiyun nodded affirmatively.
In modern times, yellow eel is expensive to sell, not to mention this kind of pure natural yellow eel, Huang Yiyun estimates that nine times out of ten, he will buy it in a big bowl of vegetable restaurant.
"Eldest sister, since the restaurant in the town will be acquired, why don't we go to catch some tonight, and we will go to the town early in the morning tomorrow to ask." After Huang Conghe heard that he could sell it to the restaurant in the town, Huang Conghe's eyes lit up.
"Cheng, let's catch more tonight, and call the second sister." Huang Yiyun also nodded.
If you don't accept the big bowl of food in the restaurant, you can eat it yourself, but you can find another way to make money.
"Uncle will make one more bamboo tongs like that now, and let's bring a few more torches." After Huang Conghe said this, he went to the utility room on the side.
"Second brother, eldest sister, you will not stop you from going to the field to catch yellow eel and grandma, but you must know that food is the life of our boss, and remember not to spoil the rice in the paddy field." Huang Li was afraid that the two of them would accidentally trample on the rice in other people's paddy fields in order to catch yellow eels and sell them for money, so Huang Li instructed a few words.
"Grandma, we know this, we are just walking around on the ridges, and we have not stepped into the paddy fields, grandma can rest assured." Huang Yiyun also knew this, she nodded and replied.
At noon on this day, a few small eyes looked at the yellow eel in the barrel, and then looked at Huang Yiyun from time to time.
Huang Yiyun couldn't help but smile after seeing this, it seems that his younger siblings heard that he said how delicious the yellow eel was, and after they hadn't eaten it one by one, they were a little greedy, so he directly instructed the second sister to select more than 20 relatively thin yellow eels to come out.
First, let the second sister sprinkle a lot of plant ash into the yellow eel, and let her use the plant ash to rub off the sticky liquid on the yellow eel's body and put it aside for later use.
"Second sister, third sister, you two will bring out the fish you got back today, and clean up the three palm-sized crucian carp, let's cook fish soup and drink it today, and the other small fish and shrimp will be spread directly on the sieve, and directly exposed to dried small fish, which will be kept for later eating." Huang Yiyun commanded.
"Okay."
Originally, these small fish were fried in deep oil, and then fried with chili peppers are the most delicious.
It's just that frying consumes a lot of oil, and the Huang family can't afford it, so they have no choice but to dry it.
It was the ground cage that was placed in the canal yesterday, and today the second sister went to collect the ground cage.
There are several aquatic species in the cage, not to mention small fish and shrimp, there are also loaches, yellow eels and crabs, and there are three crucian carp the size of adult palms.
It's rich in variety.
Huang Yiyun saw that the second sister cleaned up the yellow eel.
Heat the oil until the oil is red.
Put the eel in.
It's just that after the live yellow eel was put into the red-hot pot, the yellow eel jumped a few times and quickly rolled into a circle.
After frying the yellow eel until it is golden on both sides, then add chili peppers, garlic seeds, perilla leaves, add a little salt, and quickly stir-fry a few times.
Stir-fry the garlic and shiso leaves until fragrant, then put them on a plate and remove them from the pan.
It's just that after the garlic seeds and perilla leaves are put in the pot and stir-fried, the fragrance suddenly smells so good.
A few small ones sniffed hard, smelled the smell, swallowed hard, and looked at the yellow eels in the pot.
Crucian carp soup is better to make.
After boiling the red oil, burn the ginger slices, fry the crucian carp on both sides, and then put water to cook.
After the crucian carp is boiled until it is milky white, add a little salt to taste before cooking, and then sprinkle a little chopped green onion to get out of the pot.
Originally, in the crucian carp soup, put some tofu to cook together, the taste is better, but the Huang family does not have tofu, but the boiled crucian carp soup is also very delicious.
