Chapter Ninety-One: The Iron Pot Catfish

The second master glanced inside, only to see Tang Luofan looking at him unkindly, but he didn't care.

"Second master, is there something wrong?" The black dog glanced sideways behind him, Tang Luofan put down the dishes and chopsticks and sat down facing the two of them, staring at the movement here without blinking.

"I still want to talk to you about what you said to your eldest brother today!" The second master ignored Tang Luofan behind the black dog, and said lightly to the black dog.

"I'll go out for a while!" The black dog turned back to Tang Luofan and said.

"Come back early!" Tang Luofan suddenly changed his expression, stood up and smiled very gently, then walked up to the black dog, hugged her waist and kissed the black dog lightly on the forehead.

"Hehe, I see!" The black dog smiled lightly with him, but he couldn't help but scold him in his heart, and took advantage of her by pretending to be in this cottage.

When he returned to the restaurant, the black dog secretly thought to himself, and he didn't even let him touch his hand!

Thinking like this, the black dog followed the second master to a path outside.

"Second Master, what do you want to say?" The black dog said politely.

"The court recruits! It's not like nothing in the past few years, but the officials who came either looked down on our cottage or were afraid of our cottage to death, and in the end they didn't succeed! The second master said helplessly, "My eldest brother was born with my grandfather to be a bandit on this mountain!" It has been three generations since the king changed, and it has been more than a hundred years! ”

"It turns out that the source of the Three Fierce Mountains has been for so long!" The black dog sighed.

"My eldest brother's grandfather was once a loyal minister in the court, and after being framed, he was degraded to this mountain to guard the mountains and forests, so he occupied the mountain as the king! My eldest brother has always had this wish in his heart, hoping to make more meritorious contributions to the court! The second master sighed faintly, shook his head, and there was sadness in his tone.

"That's good! It is better to occupy the mountain as the king than to make a national contribution! The black dog naturally hoped that the bandits on the mountain would be recruited by the imperial court and that he would be able to go down the mountain safely.

"Over the years, our cottage has been getting better and better, getting bigger and bigger, and it has become more and more concerned by the imperial court! Something will happen! I'm afraid that in the near future, there will be a catastrophe on our mountain! The second master looked at the black dog.

"What does the second master want me to do?" The black dog heard the meaning of the second master's words.

"The black dog girl has a very good relationship with Jinghua City Zhang Zhutou, I hope to help us! We haven't been able to recruit people in the cottage several times, not only because we disdain to be with traitorous ministers, but also because there is no good recommender, and we can't catch up! Every time we want to recruit An, those villains come to us! The second master said.

The black dog thought of a more suitable candidate than Zhang Zhutou in his heart, nodded, and asked again: "However, seeing that your eldest brother and Xi Liuchang seem to be a little hesitant!" ”

"That's because the previous Zhao'an was very unpleasant, but it made the brothers reluctant to recruit again, worried that the brothers on this mountain would lose their livelihoods, so the three of us are here!" The second master said worriedly, "But if the black dog girl can really help us find a suitable sponsor and a suitable place for us and our brothers to stay, we must be grateful!" ”

"I'm afraid that the remaining two leaders won't agree! I also hope that the second master will advise him a lot, and after the family banquet, your brothers will resolve their grievances! I will discuss this matter with Zhou Yang! The black dog nodded in agreement.

"Good! Thanks a lot! The second master clasped his fists and saluted.

"Then I'll go back first!" The black dog nodded, reached out and pressed the second master's fist down, not being polite to him.

After going back, the black dog resisted Tang Luofan's suspicious and fierce gaze, and stubbornly relied on his cheekiness to survive, and fell asleep like this.

The next day, I didn't go to the kitchen yesterday to continue to study the catfish feast, and today can be regarded as a good research. The black dog had just reached the kitchen door when he heard a cry coming from inside.

"Don't! Don't! The young woman's cry was heard, but the bandits outside the door acted as if they hadn't heard it.

"What are you doing!" The black dog leaned over, but as soon as the black dog passed, some of the people at the door left, and some of them blocked the black dog's sight.

The black dog looked at these people, thinking that there must be something strange in his heart, and one dodged and shook these people for a moment and rushed in.

"Uncle, my wife is such a daughter, let her go! Let her go! ”

"Impossible! Follow me uncle, in this village, I promise that you will no longer suffer and no longer have to live in this small kitchen! ”

As soon as the black dog entered, he saw the refugees who had been taken in yesterday, the two men fainted on the ground for some reason, and the middle-aged woman cried and pulled at the head of the camp yesterday.

The battalion leader had a dirty coat in his hand, and the clothes on his body did not know if the men had struggled to tear it off, or if they had torn it off themselves. The girl who struggled on the ground had her coat snatched away, revealing her smooth but scarred body.

"What are you doing! This is! The black dog clapped his hands, and moved over a bench and sat down with a smile, "What about this singing!" One laughs and one cries! ”

Hearing this, the battalion head stopped his movements and looked back at the black dog.

"What do you mean by that?" The head of the camp snorted coldly and got dressed.

"And what are you doing here!" The black dog was unmoved, "This refugee girl has just arrived here, and you have made a move!" This kitchen is now my territory, do you have to consider grabbing people in my territory? ”

"This whole mountain is ours, and it has something to do with you!" The battalion head turned around with a sneer and said defiantly at the black dog.

"Then you're so powerful! Get me out! The black dog sneered, she wished she could be kicked out of this mountain!

"You! Hum! The head of the camp knew the importance of the black dog now, and he didn't want to entangle with her too much, so he glared at her and left unwillingly.

"What's your name?" The black dog looked at the girl who got up from the ground and hurriedly put on her clothes, and couldn't help crying.

"Ershun!" The girl whispered that although she was saved by the black dog, she was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word when she thought that the black dog had killed someone yesterday.

"That's it! Let's go aside! The black dog didn't bother to pay any attention to them, and turned back to the people who were watching the excitement and said, "Come in and carry these two away on the ground, I'm going to use the kitchen!" ”

A few bandits outside came in and carried the two men on the ground out, giggling and waiting to see what the black dog would do with the two women.

"Look at what, look!" The black dog turned around and roared, "I'm not going to cook for you at noon today!" finally recruited four cooks, two fainted, one was almost bullied, and one cried speechless! I'm not going to cook for you at noon today! Solve it yourself! ”

As soon as he heard that the black dog lost his temper, the crowd outside scattered in a hurry to be bored.

"You two stand aside and get out of the way!" The black dog simply treated them fiercely, so as not to cry one by one, but it would be a waste of time.

The mother and daughter helped each other to the side and sat down, and the black dog came to the stove and was about to start killing fish, when he saw the figure of the Fang butcher appear in the kitchen.

"Ahh

As soon as the fierce-looking Fang butcher came in, Er Shun, who had just received the fright, involuntarily exclaimed and shrank back.

Butcher Fang didn't pay attention to her, walked to the black dog, took the fish from the black dog's hand and said, "I'll come!" Shopkeeper, think about what to do! ”

The black dog nodded and stepped aside, this butcher is quite caring. The black dog hurriedly searched his brain for the recipe for fish soup, but there was no obvious idea.

"Brother Fang, what is the taste of the catfish feast?" The black dog asked, standing aside.

"Oily but not greasy, rotten but not scattered, the taste is strong but more than fragrant!" Butcher Fang said, "I've eaten it once or twice, and you still don't know the rules of this feast, especially the rules of this catfish feast!" ”

"What are the rules?" The black dog asked, confused.

"The family feast began, and the long table feast was in the middle of the hall, with three heads seated, twenty people in one battalion, and twenty-five battalion heads on the side. Starting from the lead camp, sit at the round table, five tables in the hall, and the rest are sorted down in turn, which is the position outside the hall! Although Butcher Fang said it, his hands were not idle.

That huge catfish had great strength, but it couldn't withstand the blow of Butcher Fang, and he passed out.

"This catfish feast will not be served at the main banquet, and everyone will eat almost when they are finished! Everyone gathered in the hall, twenty-five camp leaders plus three masters, plus three leaders recommended one person, and two people selected from each battalion, these eighty-one people are also a good sign to take ninety-nine eighty-one! ”

"What are these eighty-one people doing?" The black dog then asked.

"Grab the fish! At the sound of an order, eighty-one people rushed forward together, and whoever can grab the fish and meat to eat will have good luck in the coming year! Butcher Fang didn't know what he had in mind, and a smile actually appeared on his face.

"Grab the jackpot?" The black dog thought about that picture in his mind, and it was indeed very spectacular.

"That's it!" Butcher Fang packed up the fish and gave the place to the black dog.

The black dog looked at the fish in front of him, looked at the big pot beside him, and simply stewed catfish in an iron pot.

Thinking about it like this, the black dog's hands were also busy. A piece of fat pork was brought in from the outside, not to be stewed for a while, but to be refined.

The earthy smell of this catfish is relatively strong, and you need to use materials to mask this taste, the best thing is to use fatty pork to refine oil, with the help of this strong oil to cover up this taste.

The black dog used his knife and chopped the fat pork into thin slices, and the burning stove heated the pot, and the black dog put the fat pork in it. Zra's voice immediately rang out, and just listening to it made one look forward to the next food.

After refining the oil, the black dog was not in a hurry to take out the pork, and at that time, he put the chopped green onions, ginger and garlic, and the dried poisonous pepper into it and stir-fried them together.

All of a sudden, a strong smell wafted out.

Strike while the iron is hot, all kinds of seasonings can't wait to put in, after adjusting the taste, the black dog poured a small half pot of water into it, after all, this is not a big pot of rice, only a part of it can be made.

After adding water, the catfish, the essence of the dish, was also put in, and the black dog covered the lid and filled it with firewood.

Then after waiting for no more than half a cup of tea, I poured a spoonful of white wine into it to remove the fishy smell, and there was nothing left for this dish except waiting.

"Eh, little lady, make lunch!" Liao fifteen appeared at the door and leaned over with a shy face.

"Get out!" The black dog picked up the kitchen knife.

"Girl, be careful, don't hurt your hands!" Liao Sixteen didn't know when he came here, and when he saw the black dog picking up the kitchen knife, he hurriedly said.

"Humph!" The black dog put down the kitchen knife, "I won't cook for you at noon tonight, figure it out yourself!" ”

"That Li Yingtou made you angry, I apologize!" Liao 15 was refreshing, "Little lady, hurry up and make lunch!" ”

"I'm not the cook of your stockade, the four of them are!" The black dog pointed, "Kill them, don't think about eating in the future!" ”

"I'll cover them in the future! No one will bully them! Little lady, you can do it! Liao fifteen bumped the black dog's shoulder and smiled flatteringly.

"Look at your sophisticated appearance, it's better to be your brother!" The black dog hooked Liao Sixteen's chin, "White and well-behaved, more obedient!" ”

"Girl!" Liao Sixteen took a step back with a red face, lowered his head and clasped his fists and saluted the black dog.

The black dog chuckled, crossed his waist and said, "Anyway, I won't cook at noon today, and I want to eat and beg those people to go!" ”

There is also a reason why the black dog does this, these people have no relatives when they first arrived, and it is fundamental to find a way to survive in this village! People are iron and rice are steel, and this village is short of cooks, and these people can still have a bit of status when they are busy working.

Liao fifteen looked at the mother and daughter, a little disgusted, and their hands trembled with fear, this shake into a spoonful of salt, a shake in a spoonful of sugar, a shake in a spoonful of chili, who can stand this!

"I can tell you, people have to fight for themselves, you have no reason to stay, and sooner or later you will be kicked out!" The black dog turned back to the mother and daughter as if warning.

"Yes, got it!" The middle-aged woman said, and the two men stood up, hesitating not knowing what to do.

"Cabbage boiled tofu, potato slices fried meat, two dishes, make a big pot! What to do every day in the future, you all think for yourself! Seeing that the two of them cowered, the black dog offered to help again.

This time, the two nodded, and then they got busy.

Seeing that someone was cooking, although Liao Shifu wanted to eat the black dog's meal, he had nothing to say. Someone outside called out to him, so he hurried out and went back to work.

At this moment, the catfish in the black dog pot can also be cooked.

The soup was not dried up, and the black dog was afraid that he would paste the pot if he didn't grasp the right heat.

The black dog took a few bowls and carefully put out the fish in this pot, and the tender fish was accidentally broken by the spoon when it was put on the plate, and the black dog quickly and slowly served it in distress.

The fish is delicious, the skin is smooth and tender, and the mouth is melting, and there is no better adjective to describe it.

"How?" The black dog asked.

Butcher Fang frowned, couldn't say why for a long time, and finally said: "It seems to be the same, it seems to be different, sixteen, bring your brother here!" He's eaten this, let him try it too! ”

"Okay," Liao Sixteen immediately went out when he heard this.

The black dog has a little hope in his heart this time, maybe it will be successful this time.

"You two, come over for dinner too! It's still a little bit before they have lunch, so you eat first! The black dog still felt sorry for the mother and daughter in his heart, and when he heard the black dog say this, the two didn't dare to resist, so they quickly served the meal and ate it.

After taking a bite, Ershun raised his head in surprise and glanced at the black dog, and couldn't help but say, "It's delicious!" ”

The black dog glanced at her, smiled slightly, and was very satisfied.

"What's wrong! Call me back again! "Liao fifteen came back noisily.

"Fifteen, take a bite and see how it tastes compared to the eldest lady!" Butcher Fang said.

When the butcher said this, Liao Shifu didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly picked up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to savor it. It seemed that he was enjoying his meal very much, and he ate one bite after another.

"How? Is it the same as the eldest lady? Black Dog asked nervously, expecting his answer.

"You're delicious!" Liao 15 sighed sincerely, "But the big bite of catfish banquet I ate that year was even more delicious!" I can't tell the difference, it's not as delicious as that anyway! ”

"It's okay, there's not much difference, let's use this as a prototype and improve more!" Seeing that the black dog seemed to be a little disappointed, Butcher Fang comforted him.

"Girl, your cooking is already a delicacy in the world! No need to compare yourself to others! Liao Sixteen also comforted.

"It's okay, there's still four days left!" The black dog smiled hard and said, "Take a break!" I'll do it again in the afternoon, I'll send this to Donald first! ”

As he spoke, the black dog picked up two bowls of fish and meat, filled two bowls of rice, and walked to the room.

Back in the room, the black dog also finished eating absentmindedly, and then fell on the bed to think about this catfish feast. Tang Luofan saw that she was upset, and it was rare that he didn't look at her, and deliberately went out to leave her space to think.

In the afternoon, the black dog came to the kitchen again, and the two of them used the morning method to make various improvements.

Two more servings of catfish were made, and one was made with more chili ingredients on the original basis to make a spicy soup. But because it was contrary to the taste of the catfish feast in his memory, he gave up like this.

The second part is based on the original foundation, cut the catfish into slices, pay more attention to the knife technique and marinated ingredients, and wait until the soup is ready to put the whole catfish into it, and simmer the catfish by heat and low heat.

But the taste is very similar, but the catfish tastes different from the soup, and the two cannot be combined.

In this way, another day passed, and there were still three days before the family banquet, and the black dog studied with Butcher Fang for another day, but the more he studied, the worse he did at the beginning.

The two had no choice, so in the end they had to reluctantly set this catfish banquet into an iron pot catfish practice, but neither of them was very satisfied. But there was no other way but to decide.

On this day, the black dog got up early in the morning, and tomorrow night it was time to hold a family feast. Today I have to go to the back mountain to pick vegetables, and I have to go to the pond to catch the biggest catfish, I haven't caught a catfish for so many years, and the people on the mountain are ready to go with this black dog.

It's also fun to see who can catch the catfish with a bamboo pole.

Black Dog picked out one person from one battalion among the people who were going to go, twenty-five people plus Black Dog and Tang Luofan, and Hei Nianfang also had to go over to join in the fun.

No, Black Dog and Tang Luofan were ready to go to the gate to gather with these people.
