It's Saturday, and it's the last day of work in the factory.

It will be the eighth day of the first month of next year to go to work again.

As soon as Lin Zhen entered the hospital after work, the third uncle smiled and said, "Lin Zhen, is there something tomorrow?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"I want to borrow your bicycle tomorrow to ride, don't you have two, lend me one, and I will go fishing by the lake with one by one."

He tasted the sweetness of fishing last week, and the eldest Yan Jiecheng took his daughter-in-law back to his parents' house, so he took the second Yan Jiefang to follow him to the lake.

Lin Zhen shook his head and smiled: "No, this time, Uncle San, I'm going to go fishing tomorrow, two bicycles, and one for Lou Xiao'e." ”

"Oh, well, I can't borrow that rod or shrimp pot."

"Hahaha, don't help the poor, you have already finished the happy event for Yan Jiecheng, there is nothing to worry about, of course I have to use it myself."

After breakfast the next day, Lin Zhen took his wife and children to the suburban lake.

The third master had already come early, and he had already caught five or six crucian carp at the spot where he had harvested last time.

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, most people are preparing for the New Year's goods after the holiday, and there are almost no people who come to the lake to smash ice holes and fish.

Looking around, except for Lin Zhen's family, there are only three masters.

In fact, in this era, the environment is less polluted, and there are fish where there is water in the wild.

But there are almost no people who really have time to go wild fishing.

People in the countryside are busy earning work in the production team, and even children are assigned tasks.

Want to catch fish in the river? Unless you're earning enough for your work.

People who can earn enough work are tired and rest after work, and they don't have the energy to catch fish.

Workers in the city have one day off every week, and most of them go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to line up to buy things.

Even if you have a little free time, hang out with friends and family, and the day will pass.

The work schedule is tight, and there is time for wild fishing and leisure, which can be said to be very rare.

"It's too late, I've already caught five or six!" Yan Bugui saw Lin Zhen's arrival, and smiled proudly.

"Hehe, Uncle San, you don't necessarily come early and leave early, I'll be able to fish a full basket in a while!"

Lin Zhen can quickly calculate the location of the fish according to the water potential and topography.

It's eleven o'clock in the morning, and the ice on the river is not as thick as it was some time ago.

The wintering fish gather at the sunny water's edge.

Lin Zhen used a wooden stick to pry open a piece of ice and threw down the shrimp pot containing chicken bones.

I also found a sunny inlet, pried open the ice cubes by the river, and sprinkled millet soaked in rice wine to make a nest.

These nesting millets have been soaked for several days, and the results are remarkable, and soon the fish under the water are active.

"Wife, prepare to collect the fish." At the beginning of Lin Zhen's pole, a crucian carp weighing more than eight taels was fished out.

For Lin Zhen, who has practiced his physical skills to the full level, he doesn't need traditional bait for fishing, he only needs to make a nest to attract the fish.

He has a sharp eye and can see through several feet of water.

The hand is strong, and the fishing rod is like a long whip, and the hook can easily hook the fish when it enters the water.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was fishing with bait, and Lin Zhen was hooking fish underwater with a hook.

This kind of kung fu is not something that ordinary people can practice, and without sharp eyes and strong strength, you don't have to think about it at all.

Yan Bugui was surprised: "Huh? Fish on the lower rod? Looks like we have to make a nest! ”

Lin Zhen didn't have time to chat with him, so he took advantage of the effect of nesting and threw fish on the shore one after another.

Lou Xiao'e patronized and picked up fish on the shore, and the four second sons happily ran and played on the side.

Five minutes later, Lin Zhen closed the pole.

I changed the place again, pried open the ice at the water's edge, and sprinkled the millet soaked in rice wine.

When all the fish are encircled, use the hook to hook directly.

The fish he catches are rarely shut-up, either with their stomachs or tails.

An hour later.

Lin Zhen harvested more than 20 catties of fish, almost all of which were crucian carp bigger than a palm.

More than a pound of river shrimp was also harvested in the shrimp pot.

"Yes, it still makes sense to go wild fishing, Uncle San, we've fished enough, I won't chat with you, let's go first, hahaha."

Yan Bugui pursed his lips with envy, "You didn't chat with me either, you're fishing here." ”

"It's okay to fish enough, it's not good to stay by the lake for a long time, go back and talk."

Yan Bugui looked at the sky, it was already past twelve o'clock at noon, and it was indeed not suitable to stay by the lake for too long.

I also hurriedly put away the pole and went home.

After the six arrived home, the four sons went to run and play, Lou Xiao'e began to make lunch, and Lin Zhen cleaned up the fish and shrimp.

More than a pound of river shrimp let Lou Xiao'e steam it and eat it at noon.

All the crucian carp is made into vinegar lees.

The practice of this bad fish is cumbersome, but it is sour, soft and fresh, and has an endless aftertaste.

Lin Zhen had eaten it a few times before he crossed over, and after coming to this world, his understanding of vinegared fish deepened a lot.

The fish breaks the belly and picks the gills, does not scrape the scales, and after cleaning, they are placed on the bamboo grate one by one, and put them in the sun to dry.

It is necessary to dry the crucian carp for at least three days on a sunny day to dry two-thirds of the water before proceeding to the next step.

Here, Lin Zhen was packing up the fish, and the stupid pillar came back from outside.

Seeing this, he smiled and said, "If you don't scrape the scales, you want to make sake lees fish?" Do you want me to teach you? ”

Lin Zhen said with a smile: "On the one hand, the defeated generals still dare to fight?" I'm going to make vinegar fish. ”

Silly Zhu said disdainfully: "Still vinegared fish, the kind that simmered overnight?" Let's sour you, that's not easy to master, just listen to me make sweet and sour soft mess for the child, it's almost more than 20 pounds, right? It's a pity if it's simmered. ”

"Haha, you don't have to worry about it, it'll be ready for you to taste in a few days."

"Okay! If you really want to do it, I'll steal the teacher. ”

"It's not okay to steal a teacher, if you want to learn, you can kowtow to the teacher!"

"You pull it, don't blow it, let's talk about it when it's done!"

This year, spring is early, and spring will begin on the 24th day of the lunar month.

It was a sunny day for a few days, and the warm sun warmed up quickly, and in three days, the crucian carp was dried.

On the evening of the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Lin Zhen brushed the dried crucian carp with a layer of honey.

Put a layer of ingredients and green onion and ginger on the bottom of the pot.

Then place the fish heads in the middle and arrange them one by one.

Spread another layer of green onion and ginger, then arrange the fish.

After the fish is arranged, mix a catty of vinegar, three taels of soy sauce and a small amount of salt with cold water, and add it to the pot to cover the fish.

After the fire boils, change to sporadic simmer.

It simmered from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., then turned off the heat and simmered overnight.

Lin Zhen is enjoying the joy of making vinegared fish.

The whole courtyard was driven crazy by him.

The smell of bad fish had long since spread throughout the yard, and the smell was even more enticing than the smell coming from the delicatessen.

The crucian carp, which has been dried for two-thirds of the water, fully absorbs the juice.

And the combination of sauce was adjusted to the point of golden ratio by Lin Zhen.

Coupled with the mastery of fire, the crucian carp and various ingredients are perfectly integrated.

The penetrating vinegar flavor pushes the fusion of fish and soup to a new peak.

The courtyard is filled with an intoxicating fragrance of sourness.

Lin Zhen's behavior is undoubtedly poisoning in the middle of the night.
