The group bought a lot of ingredients and spices and returned to the boat.

Because Jiangcheng is a big wharf, there are more people who load goods here, and I am afraid that it will take place at night to set sail.

Some people take a long time to load the goods, so when Liu Ruyue and his party come back, it is not too late.

The things on the ship don't need to be personally managed by the ship's boss, and when he saw Liu Ruyue coming back, he came up, "Can you make lemon fish at noon today?" ”

"Yes."

The water tank has completely turned into a fish tank, and if you don't cook fish yourself, the kitchen will have to be filled with fishy smells.

"Eat lemon fish at noon, and prepare to make braised pork at night." He only eats fish, and he doesn't go hungry.

Liu Ruyue felt that these boatmen were doing physical work all day long, and this time the boat boss was willing to spend money and gave her enough silver to purchase ingredients, so she would borrow flowers to offer Buddha and make some delicious food to treat everyone.

The more I can't eat, the more I miss it, and the boat boss dislikes it very much, "In this weather, eating braised pork will be a little greasy, so it's better to make a few more pots of lemon fish." ”

"Less delicious, less delicious, do you know what Sazi means? If you cook too much at once, it won't taste good, and you won't get tired of eating it at noon and at night. Liu Ruyue simply scolded him in Bashu dialect.

The boss of the boat was rare about the sour and spicy lemon fish that Liu Ruyue concocted, and now he drooled when he tasted it back, "I know, don't you make braised pork?" It also makes a sour and delicious cold dish, which I think is also suitable. ”

In this matter, Yingge is still in the line, and he is not afraid of crossing his waist, "My ten mothers can do whatever they want, don't eat if you don't want to, just eat your fish." ”

"I still have to walk for more than half a month on the rest of the road, and I have time to do whatever I want to eat, so take my time." Fish is a cold food, and the cold dishes that the boat boss wants to eat must also be sour and spicy, and eating it like this is not good for the body.

Cooking on a boat is different from cooking in a house, and it is impossible to cook dozens of dishes in one meal.

Therefore, Liu Ruyue insisted on the idea of cooking by herself.

The boat boss has never met such a stubborn cook, what is the difference between making cold dishes and braised pork, isn't the meat used the same?

Back in the kitchen, Liu Ruyue got busy.

It was still early at noon, so Liu Ruyue felt that the fish was not in a hurry.

Prepare the braised pork to be eaten at night, in order to absorb the flavor, the braised pork is not like other freshly prepared and eaten dishes, which have to be boiled for a long time.

She first asked Zhu Yong, the cook on the boat, to help her carefully clip off the pork belly with skin, pig's trotters, beef, pig's tongue, and pig's ears with tongs.

The pig's tongue is not so troublesome, and it is soaked directly in water to remove the blood after washing.

Then on the pot where the pot is hot, stick the outer layer of pig's trotters and pork belly on the iron pot and blanch it.

In this way, it is better to burn off the short pig hair that has a peculiar smell and is not easy to get rid of.

Gently scrape off the blackened part with a kitchen knife and wash it carefully with a loofah cloth.

After all the meat is processed, soak it in ice water for later use.

After that, prepare the marinated ingredients.

Because I have to cook for more than 20 people, I buy a lot of ingredients, and I can marinate a large pot, so I can't be stingy with spices, otherwise if I marinate it for a while, the taste will not be enough.

The most important thing about braised meat is the marinade, Liu Ruyue didn't buy ready-made, and now she spreads out the spices she just bought on the table one by one, and starts picking with a pottery bowl.

After sitting for a long time, the weight does not need to be weighed, and there is a number in my heart.

I caught 3 money star anise, 1 money more cloves, 2 money dried peppercorns, 3 money cinnamon, and 2 money cumin.

The spices are poured into a stone mortar (jiu), and the larger cinnamon bark and star anise are smashed with a wooden hammer (dui).

Once all the spices have been shattered, you can't continue to smash them with great force, which will cause the spices to splash.

Instead, gently pound, after the peppercorns are also mashed, start grinding, patiently grind these spices into spice crushes, without finishing the grinding into powder.

After that, take 4 yuan of spice crushed and put it into a sewn gauze bag to make a material bag.

The spices after grinding can better remove the smell of the ingredients and give them a base taste.

Then pour half a bucket of water, a small bowl of cooking wine, 80 yuan of salt, and a good spice bag into the large iron bucket.

Stir well with a spoon.

At this time, the ingredients of the pork tongue have been soaked in water for almost two hours, and they are scooped up.

Then put it in a seasoned iron bucket and continue to soak and marinate for 4 hours.

Taking advantage of this moment, Liu Ruyue taught Zhu Yong to make lemon fish.

Being able to learn new dishes, Zhu Yong was enthusiastic, much happier than helping her handle pork just now, and basically didn't let Liu Ruyue help much, he slaughtered all the fish by himself.

Judging by this posture, he intended that each boatman would have a fish for himself.

Liu Ruyue demonstrated on the side, Zhu Yong followed along, and the two of them contracted half of the fish.

Fortunately, there are four layers of large steaming drawers in the kitchen, otherwise it will take a long time to steam the fish one by one.

Changed to golden soup lemon fish fillet, and the boat boss was not happy.

Today at Jiangcheng Wharf, I bought lemongrass and lime, so the lemon fish made today tastes more authentic and refreshing.

At lunchtime, the boatmen finally ate the lemon fish they had been thinking about, and the taste did not disappoint them, and they all gave Liu Ruyue a thumbs up.

"What about me? Half of the fish is made by me, why don't you praise Lao Tzu? Zhu Yong didn't get angry, and went shopping with him in the morning, and the boatman who disliked him for making pig food was a slam shot.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, Brother Zhu hasn't gotten off the boat yet, learn a few more dishes, and I will praise you every day for the delicious dishes you make."

"You kid, you're still hurting my ......"

Liu Ruyue returned to the small table belonging to her group, only to find that Yingge was not there, "What about Yingge?" ”

Chu Qianche held the baby in his left hand, and put the fish meat in his mouth neatly with his right hand, and raised his head when he heard the words, very helpless, "She directly took a plate of lemon fish back to the house to eat." ”

Okay, is this afraid that Chu Qianche will rob her of fish and meat to eat, she has done so much today, and she doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat.

After a busy morning, Liu Ruyue was also hungry, wiped her hands on her apron, sat down and ate with chopsticks.

Lemon fish made with lime is really better than lemon made with yellow lemon.

"Eat braised pork tonight, why don't you start marinating it now?"

Chu Qianche is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot?

Liu Ruyue explained, "You have to soak it for 4 hours." ”

"Can you eat at night?" Chu Qianche looked puzzled, and when Liu Ruyue looked over, she returned to her indifferent face, as if she didn't care, just asked casually.

"If you can't eat, it's tomorrow's lunch." According to Liu Ruyue's requirements for cooking, the preparation time is sufficient, and it is delicious only after it is tasted.
