Chapter 63: Fish Soup
"The eldest sister will eat in the morning, the method of fishing just came to mind, the eldest sister doesn't know if this method will succeed, today I just try this method, this method will be successful, tomorrow the eldest sister will take you to catch fish, let's go, even the sixth sister and the seventh brother will take it." Liu Yiyu's sister and brother said as they walked towards the bamboo house.
"Mother, come and see, the eldest sister has caught a lot of fish?" Liu Yiyu's sisters and brothers came to the kitchen, and after placing the fish first, Liu Yiyang squatted in front of the wooden basin, his fingers kept poking the fish in the wooden basin, and Liu Yiyang turned his head and shouted at Liu Li.
"Is it really a fish? Eldest sister, why did you catch it, Qilang don't play in the water, don't get cold later." After Liu Li finished frying, after wiping the oil smoke on the bib on his waist, he walked into Liu Yihao, and after seeing that there were really fish in the wooden basin, and seeing that there were a lot of fish, Liu Li said to Liu Yiyu with surprise on his face.
"Mother, the eldest sister's method is very simple, that is, to dig an ice hole in the ice on the surface of the river, and after a while, these fish will all surface stupidly, and they will not resist if they are caught?" At this time, Liu Yishuang on the side said.
"It's as simple as that, eldest sister, can you take me to catch fish tomorrow, this fish catching job is more fun than others?" Since Liu Zhang's family was no longer crazy and crazy, and the life of the Liu family was much better than before, a few small ones were not yellow and thin, their hair was yellow, and their faces were a little fleshy and ruddy, and the original seven brothers were a little introverted and timid, but at this time they also became a little cheerful and lively.
"Cheng, go tomorrow, it's cold outside, you all go to the cave first, don't be cold, eldest sister will cook a fish soup for you to drink today." Liu Yiyu touched Liu Yiyang's head and said.
"Big sister, mother help you". Liu Li said.
"Mother, I'll come by myself, you go in first, I'll be fine in a while, just let the fifth brother light the fire for me." Liu Yiyu waved his hand.
Liu Yiyu first asked Liu Yihao to light the fire, fished out four adult palm-sized crucian carp from the wooden basin, first stunned the crucian carp with the back of a kitchen knife, and then took out all the internal organs in the fish belly and washed the blood in the fish belly.
Cut the back of the fish into tic-tac-toe lines, and then cook the fish to make the meat taste good.
When you've done all this, chop the ginger and shallots and set them aside for later use.
Wash the pot, put the oil, first burn the oil red, put the fish into the red pot 'zla' sound, the sound of crackling in the pot, Liu Yiyu's eyes and feet quickly turned the fish in the pot, so as not to burn the paste, after that, Liu Yiyu put the remaining fish in the pot and fried them into yellowish on both sides, then put the water, and then put the ginger slices in, boil for fifteen minutes to twenty minutes on medium heat to get out of the pot, and sprinkle the green onion on the pot.
The fish soup was boiled white, exuding a good smell of umami, and a few small ones in the cave came out of the cave from time to time and looked around the kitchen.
After Liu Yiyu saw that the fish soup was almost cooked, he picked up a wooden basin and put it next to the stove, after that, Liu Yiyu picked up two rags and pinched them next to the pot ears, directly carried the pot, and poured the fish soup into the wooden basin on the stove next to it.
Liu Yiyu asked the fifth brother to bring the fish soup to the cave first, and then went into the cave after going to burn the kang and stuffing a few pieces of firewood.
"Eldest sister, this fish soup is so delicious, or my eldest sister has a way, and she can catch fish in winter." Liu Zhang said after taking a sip of fish soup.
"Grandma, if it's delicious, drink more, you can eat some fish and meat, and you can't always drink soup." Crucian carp originally has nourishing properties, and when Liu Yiyu processed crucian carp, he did not remove the fish scales, which are rich in a variety of minerals, and it is said that they can also supplement calcium.
Liu Yiyu said, and put the fish meat with chopsticks into Liu Zhang's bowl.
"Chengcheng, grandma will drink soup, and everyone will eat." After Liu Zhang's saw that Liu Yiyu was going to clip fish meat for himself, the bowl that Liu Zhang's was holding turned sideways.
A few small ones, after hearing Grandma say to start the meal, the three small ones, holding the bowl, looked at Liu Li with blank eyes.
Liu Li shook his head with a smile, and after serving a bowl of fish soup to the three small ones, he sandwiched the fish meat in the three bowls.
"You two eat with care, don't swallow the bones of the fish." Liu Li was a little worried, Liu Yile and Liu Yiyang said.
"Mother, I'll take care of the eighth sister, you eat first." Liu Yiyu said and took the bowl in Liu Li's hand.
"Eldest sister, I can eat it myself, you just pick out the fish bones." Liu Yile took a bite of the fish from Liu Yiyu's clip, with a very enjoyable expression on his face, and squinted his eyes towards Liu Yiyu.
"Cheng". Liu Yiyu nodded in response, and after picking out the fish bones, he took a piece of black flour cake, tore it into small pieces, put it in a bowl, soaked it with fish soup, and let the eighth sister eat it.
"Ming'er left Grandma, Niang and Eighth Sister at home, we all went out to catch fish, we caught bigger fish, and we bought them in the town for some silver, and by the way, we can also pay back the old money borrowed last time.
After that, grandma, the eldest sister also plans, taking advantage of the fact that we have some surplus money in our hands, the eldest sister thinks about this, our family will also put two hoes, our family does not say much about the dry land, but for our family are some old and weak women and children, are some dolls and half-grown children, I am afraid that it is a little too busy, let's buy a few more hoes, so that everyone can take turns to work.
By the way, the eldest sister also thought about it in her heart, next year, what will be planted in our family's four acres of dry land, one acre of land will be planted with sweet potatoes, one acre of land will be planted with potatoes, and the remaining two acres of land will be planted with corn, grandma, what do you think." Liu Yiyu said while drinking the fish soup.
"Cheng, just do what the eldest sister said, although we have a large family, but they are some half-grown children, before the spring next year, our family has to be one step ahead of others, the soil in the dry field is loose, the soil stones and some weeds are out, and then fertilization, raising a soil is done."
"Tomorrow morning, let's go catch fish, the third sister will take the second sister, the fourth sister and the sixth sister, the eldest sister and I will take the fifth brother, Xun'er and the seventh brother, tomorrow morning, after you are familiar with it, in the afternoon, we will go to catch fish in groups of two or two.
The eldest sister estimates that this year's drought, the water level of the river has decreased, many people have gone to the river to fish, I am afraid that the fish in the river are almost caught, let's catch a few days of fish, I am afraid that there is not much left, but the eldest sister has a sentence you have to remember, too small fish, we can't catch, to release, we have to take a long-term view, don't do the thing of killing chickens and eggs, you know? ”。
