Chapter 252: Uninvited Guest
Jiang Xuan lived on the central island for almost a week, and every day they drove around the lake or under the lake a few times, and the rest of the time was to eat, drink, and have fun on the central island.
Except for the strange whistling sound heard on the first night, the remaining two days were peaceful, with no accidents and no trace of the predator demon.
In the depths of Taihu Lake, the aquatic creatures are fighting every day, according to such a fierce confrontation, I don't know how long it will be, the aquatic creatures in Taihu Lake will have to die, but this is cheap Jiang Xuan them, it is quite convenient to fish, every time you see a dry battle, you can't help but say, from the top of the net down, come up must be full of harvest, there is everything in the net, only the unexpected no net can not be, yesterday morning actually netted a dozen thick water snakes, and a large number of river mussels, came back to cook the soup fragrant to death, afterwards a person and a snake bone gritted his teeth to playγ
The central island also tossed them unseemly, Jiang had nothing to do, and expanded the original small camp of dozens of square meters to hundreds of square meters, and the surrounding woods were all cut down, and the cut down tree trunks were nowhere to be stacked, so they were simply piled up around the camp and made a small fortress.
The aborigines of the island poured blood mold, pheasants, snakes, mountain mice, and all kinds of birds, and lived a life of fear every day, and they were replaced by a group of ordinary people, who might not be willing to eat these, but this time, there was a rabbit, a fox, a dog, A zombie, the fox is born like to catch birds and eat chickens, and mice or something, this kind of animal is all Su Su's favorite snacks, Chang Xiaotu is idle and loves to dig holes, often under the big tree, digging and digging, the tree is just digging down, and then revealing a litter of small animals with a confused face, not to mention ginger, as long as it is an animal with blood, it is his dish.
Gou Ritian has a good nose, and on the side, the dog fights the human power for the tiger, and no animal can escape their claws.
After eating and sleeping every day, and destroying it after sleeping, Su Yao proposed to go back, and the mask and skin care products ran out!
"Let's go tomorrow. Jiang Xuan said while using a knife to remove the scales of an arm-length Taihu Lake white fish.
Today, I was lucky and caught more than a dozen Taihu Lake white fish. White fish, white fish, white shrimp, whitebait, because of its color is white, so it is called "Taihu Lake three white".
The white fish meat is delicate, the fat under the scales is more, it resembles an anchovy, it is a precious fish in Taihu Lake, among the three whites, the white fish is the most rare and precious, this thing used to be a tribute, and it died when it came out of the water, so it is necessary to pay great attention to the freshness of the ingredients, and it must be caught and eaten freshly, mostly steamed and boiled, etc., in order to maintain the original taste of the ingredients.
The key is that this thing is basically not able to survive in artificial breeding, and the water quality of Taihu Lake has actually been more polluted in recent years, whitebait and white shrimp can often be seen, white fish is getting less and less, and the size is getting smaller and smaller, you can meet the white fish the size of an arm, even if there are large pieces of aquatic life fighting every day, this luck is quite good.
Driving out in the morning, I saw two groups of fish fighting, and there were dozens of big white fish in one of them, Jiang Xuan put down the net without hesitation, joking, this kind of fish has a very fierce temperament, it is a bit similar to piranhas, carnivorous, once the fight starts, it is definitely rushing to the front, and the worst death, it is better to catch it and sacrifice the five internal organs temple.
"Good. "Su Yao is also very interested in this white fish, she has eaten it before, but it is not so big, and it is semi-artificial, pure natural and wild have to try their luck.
More than a dozen fish, the taste is different after a long time, eat them all, anyway, there is Chang Xiaotu, it is a few times more will not be wasted, just two large pots, a pot to boil water, a pot to burn oil, the fish is washed and the internal organs are removed, the knife is slightly changed on both sides, and it is not too complicated, put some soy sauce and salt to marinate it slightly, and stuff a few ginger shreds in the place where the knife is changed, and steam it on the water, and the taste will come out.
Steam for ten minutes, remove from the pot, sprinkle some green onion and ginger foam on top, hand over a spoonful of hot oil, and stab it for a while.
Whole!
The fire cliff is the most precious gift from God to human beings, and cooking is also one of the important techniques that distinguish human beings from other animals. As for the original ecological taste like sashimi, it is still possible to taste it fresh, and it is impossible to eat it as a staple food all year round.
A plate of fish is steamed and it is just over two catties, a few people, you have a chopstick, I have a chopstick, and I will see the bottom in a blink of an eye.
Chang Xiaotu hugged the plate, drank all the soup, gnawed on the fish bones on the side, and Jiang Xuan began to steam the second fish.
One after another, the more they eat, the more greedy they become, and it is estimated that these dozen or so are not enough to eat.
"No, no, I'll go around later. Jiang Xuan licked his lips.
"Yes, yes, this fish is so delicious! Jiang Xuan, when we leave, grab some and go back to the pond at the door of the house to raise it!" Chang Xiaotu said.
Of course not, the pond at the door of the house and the Taihu Lake are not the same taste at all, and besides, it is not something that you will definitely encounter if you want to catch it.
While the fish were steaming, he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water in the shallows below, and followed the sound to see that there was an old man with a white beard, driving a boat, and stopped in the shallows.
The old man looked quite old, but he was very athletic, and he jumped off the boat with agility and walked towards them with a smile on his face.
"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant!" The old man was not polite at all, came over and lifted the lid of the pot, leaned over and sniffed it deeply, then raised his head and asked with a smile, "When can I eat this?"
Jiang Xuan and the others were all stunned, where did the cheeky old man come out, they had never seen such a person who didn't treat himself as an outsider!
A big bald head, no hair and no beard, a little fat, a bulging belly, but quite strong, not young, but the arms are quite thick, at first glance it is the kind that often works.
"Hey, hey, old man, it's not ripe yet!" Chang Xiaotu snatched the lid of the pot and put it back on, crossed his waist and lectured the old man: "You lift the lid of the pot now, the heat runs away, the fish is not steamed thoroughly, and the fish will get old if you steam it again!"
"Huh?" The old man looked dazed and shook his head: "I...... I don't know. So, can you still eat this?"
"It's okay to eat, but it's definitely not that delicious. You old man!" said Chang Xiaotu.
"Hey, hey, hey, blame me, I'll go and get you a few white fish back later, which is compensation. The old man smiled, but his eyes glanced at the pot from time to time, and he looked greedy.
"Old man, who are you?" Jiang Xuan asked curiously.
At first, Jiang Xuan thought that this was a monster, a god or a demon, or it was simply a predator demon or something.
But in the space, there is no judgment on this guy, and Gou Ritian doesn't smell the demonic energy from him.
It's the smell of water, the kind of smell that fishermen often have.
"My surname is Niu, you can call me Lao Niu. The old cow licked his lips again, glanced at the cauldron, and then pointed to the east, and said, "I live on Trident Island over there, and I am a fisherman." β
Jiang Xuan of Trigeminal Island knew that it was about ten kilometers away from here, and it was one of the inhabited islands in Taihu Lake.
"It's so fragrant!" The old man didn't leave the food for three sentences, smacked his mouth and said: "I've been fishing these days and passed by near here, and I always smell the fragrance wafting out from the shore, hehe, I don't have any hobbies, I just like to eat, I really can't help it today, come up and take a look." β
Seeing his slanderous appearance, a handful of saliva was about to come down, Jiang Xuan couldn't bear it, seeing that the fish was almost over, he simply brought it out, poured hot oil, and said, "Uncle Niu, you eat first, I'll make it later." β
The old bull's eyes lit up: "Then how embarrassing!" As he spoke, he took the plate very embarrassedly.
I don't need chopsticks, and I'm not afraid of getting hot, so I grab the tail of the fish, open a big mouth, and send the whole fish to my mouth.
Several people were stunned, the old cow's big mouth was like a rice bucket, the big fish started from the beginning, and he ate it one bite at a time, even the bones and meat were not wasted at all, eating and eating, and staining some soup, and after a while, the whole fish was gone.
"Wow ha, it's delicious, it's delicious!"
After the old cow finished eating, he danced happily like a child, and looked at the remaining fish with an expectant expression.
"Hey, old man, you're not right, we're just a few fish, and you still have to eat them!" Chang Xiaotu said dissatisfiedly.
"Oh oh oh, yes, yes!" the old man thought for a moment and said, "This way, you do it first, and I'll go catch a few more!"
After speaking, he turned around and left, trotted all the way and jumped onto the boat, waved his hand to Jiang Xuan and them, held up a water line with the pulp, and rowed into the distance.
Jiang Xuan: They made this old man who suddenly appeared inexplicable.
"This old man, I always feel that something is not right. Gou Ritian muttered.
Jiang Xuan also felt that he didn't say that he was a monster or not, and he didn't smell the demonic energy from him, but his character was so weird that when strangers met for the first time, how could there be such a thing?
"Whatever, I think he's a delicious ghost!" Chang Xiaotu said: "Jiang Xuan hurry up and take advantage of the old man's not coming back, let's eat more by ourselves!" Otherwise, I look at him like that, and when he comes, these few fish are not enough for him to eat alone." β
"Don't be so stingy, such a big Taihu Lake, I'm afraid there will be no fish to eat. Jiang Xuan's impression of the old man is actually quite good, although the old man is greedy, but he is quite affable, and he is quite interesting.
Started steaming the fish again, and after steaming, the two old men did not come back, so they let Chang Xiaotu eat it, and when the third one was ready to start the pot, they saw the old man rowing back in a small boat from a distance.
When the boat docked, I saw a lot of water creatures jumping around in the cabin.
In just half an hour, I didn't expect the old man to catch a boatload of fish.
"Come, come, come and help get it!" said the old man as he dragged the boat to shore and greeted him loudly.
