Chapter 63: Piercing the Fish

"Sister Yiyun, what are you doing here." After Liu Yun saw Huang Yiyun carrying a wooden bucket of fresh small fish and shrimp from home, she asked a little puzzled.

"Sister Yiyun, today I saw you go down to the pond to fish, and you didn't get these small fish and shrimp back, where did you get such small fish and shrimp. I have time to teach your second brother to make some small fish and shrimp. Liu Qing smiled and said to Huang Yiyun.

"Second Brother Liu, I didn't see Liu Yun go down to the pond to fish today, I pretended to go to catch small fish and shrimp, I guess I'm afraid that who in your family likes to eat these, but my family doesn't like to eat small fish and shrimp, and there are so many, so give it to your family to eat, uncle and aunt, don't dislike it?" Huang Yiyun said a little embarrassed.

"Yiyun has a heart, my aunt just likes to eat these small fish and shrimp, fry and put dried chili powder, and then put some garlic down, the taste is old and fragrant, and there is a bitter taste in the small fish, and my aunt just likes this taste, so today Yun'er, this girl, is to catch small fish for my aunt, Yiyun sent my aunt what I like to eat, and it is too late for my aunt to welcome? How could it be disgusting. Aunt Liu got up and took the wooden bucket and dried fish in Huang Yiyun's hand and put them aside, and handed Huang Yiyun a bench for Huang Yiyun to sit down.

"Your family still has so many small dried fish, Yiyun girl, it took a lot of time for you to catch these small fish!" Liu Cheng opened the lotus leaf wrapped in the thing, and was a little surprised to see that the lotus leaf was still dried small fish, and then, after fishing the wooden barrel brought by Huang Yiyun with one hand, he saw that the small fish in the wooden barrel were clean, not to mention, the number was still very large.

I thought that in the wooden barrel brought by Huang Yiyun, those small fish floated to the surface, and after a small fish head appeared, and after opening their small mouths and constantly spitting water, I thought that there were only those small fish floating on the surface, but I didn't expect that there were many small fish at the bottom of the barrel.

Liu Cheng estimated that there were at least seven or eight catties of small fish in the bucket.

"It didn't take much time, my family put a ground cage in the canal in the paddy field at night, put a little bait in the ground cage, and then go to the ground cage early in the morning of the next day, and the ground cage can catch a lot of fish and shrimp and even yellow eel loaches. After a long time, it is natural to save this. "Huang Yiyun also has no private hiding.

"Isn't the ground cage used to net with a fishing net or fished with fish?" Liu Cheng asked after not understanding the word ground cage.

"The holes in the fishing nets and fishing are too big to catch small fish and shrimp, and the ground cage is made of bamboo chips, which has good sealing and can be permeable. Huang Yiyun said the method of weaving the ground cage.

"Dad, you also make one, when the time comes, my mother wants to eat small fish, and our family will also go to the ground cage, and when the time comes, when my mother wants to eat, we can go and catch it."

"Done, dad will weave one." Uncle Liu also thinks that the ground cage is better, and it is much better than fishing nets and fishing to catch small fish.

The tiny fish escaped directly through the nets and the holes in which they were fished, and in the past they had to use a dustpan to get some small fish to eat.

It's tiring, not to mention.

"Yiyun, you go back and talk to your grandma, I haven't harvested much of the sweet potatoes planted by my family this year, so I will exchange wheat for some sweet potatoes with your family, and one pound of wheat for two and a half pounds of sweet potatoes for your family." Aunt Liu said after rubbing the corn next to Huang Yiyun.

"This ......, I have to go home and ask my grandma." After Huang Yiyun heard Aunt Liu's words, he immediately hesitated.

The Liu family planted an acre of sweet potatoes, Huang Yiyun knew about it, and the harvest was very good, and he wanted to exchange wheat for sweet potatoes with his family, just to help his family, so that his family would not spend money to buy pasta in the town.

Subsequently, Huang Yiyun rubbed the corn kernels at Liu's house for a while, and after talking for a while, he said goodbye and left.

When Huang Yiyun returned home, he saw that his uncle had returned, and on the side of the hall, there were two grass carp of four or five catties and a carp of three or four catties.

"This is sent by the Zhang family." Huang Yiyun affirmed.

"Mother, this fish, should we eat it slowly after raising it, or smoke it into a cured fish to eat?" Huang Liu also asked.

"Do we have a lot of fish? You can eat it for a while, smoke the grass carp and eat it! If you want carp, raise it and eat it later. ”

"Grandma, let the grass carp be dealt with by the eldest sister! Let's not smoke it and eat it, the eldest sister will eat the fish. Huang Yiyun's heart moved slightly.

"Fried fish. That's a lot of gas! ”

"It's not fried fish, it's tied fish, which is quite cut into pieces, marinated in a jar, and after a while, you can eat it. Moreover, after the fish is tied out, there is a unique wine fragrance and spicy taste, the flavor is unique, the mellow fragrance is overflowing, and it is a winter delicacy.

The most important thing is that the taste of the fish is better, not to mention that it is not like smoked preserved fish, which is too hard and not suitable for the elderly or people with bad teeth. After Huang Jiang's hearing about fried fish, Huang Yiyun explained.

"Cheng, the eldest sister thinks that kind of practice is good, so you do that. Grandma just eats. ”

"Okay, then the eldest sister will dispose of this fish first." Huang Yiyun nodded, and walked to the back kitchen with three fish.

The carp is raised and kept for later consumption.

Wash the grass carp, cut a knife on the skin of the fish, marinate it with fine salt for 24 hours, hang it in a ventilated place to dry until it is semi-dry, and then smoke it with firewood to remove the fishy smell.

After removing the fishy smell, cut it into sections, mix the fish pieces with white wine, red yeast rice, star anise, bay leaves, grass fruits, and cinnamon powder and marinate for 5 minutes, and then put them into the jar and seal them, and they can be used in about half a month.

It's just that there is no red yeast rice, and Huang Yiyun plans not to use red yeast rice.

Originally, red yeast rice was used to dye fish, so that the marinated fish would look better.

However, when it is time to steam the fish, you can put more chili powder, so that it looks as good as it when steamed.

After processing the fish, Huang Yiyun hung under the eaves.

I plan to start tonight, and smoke the cured grass carp in the firewood room.

After Huang Yiyun dealt with the grass carp, he walked to the hall and said to Huang Li's family, "Grandma, when the eldest sister went to Liu's house just now, Aunt Liu said that their family didn't harvest much sweet potatoes this year, and they wanted to exchange wheat for some sweet potatoes with our family to eat, saying that one pound of wheat was exchanged for two and a half catties of sweet potatoes for our family." ”

"Hey! The second family of the old family, you go and pick out the big sweet potatoes, pick 30 catties of sweet potatoes, and exchange them for 10 catties of wheat, two and a half catties of sweet potatoes for one catty of wheat, which is too little, and we can't take advantage of others. Huang Li also knew that this was because the Liu family wanted to help their own family, and they didn't want to spend money to buy flour in the town.

People should also know that they are used to eating flour and rice, so they want to change to wheat that can be ground into white flour.
