Chapter 64: The Whole Fish Feast
After a while, Li Jianguo made tea and came over to drink Tang Zhenghua to burn the fire together, and the two men, who added up to more than 60, were still discussing the issue of the fire.
Chengxin didn't care, took out a small wok, put it on another earthen stove that had just been lit, and then began to pour water into it.
I will boil some warm water and soak the fungus I brought, if it is cold water, it will be slower.
The three men on Chengxin's side were almost done, and the female comrades who were playing and taking pictures and recording the video came over with firewood.
"It's a fire, Zhenghua, you get out of the way and I'll cook.
Huang Qian drove her husband away at once, and then took the two daughters to cook on the fire.
But these women who have never cooked like this directly put a large handful of firewood into the stove, fortunately Chengxin saw it, otherwise they were going to eat pot at noon today.
After looking at the rice, it was almost over, and Chengxin didn't let a few girls add fire, so that the embers in the stove were smothering for a while.
Turning back to the wok, Chengxin poured some rapeseed oil, and when the oil dissipated the foam, Chengxin put a little lard.
Then, garlic, ginger, celery, and shallots were fried in it, and when these were fried and dried, Chengxin took them out and threw them aside.
A few people didn't understand Chengxin's operation, but they didn't ask, and they all watched Chengxin cooking curiously.
After Chengxin finished fishing the things in the oil pot, he put a packet, which was originally looted from his mother, and the hot pot base was fried in it.
Then it's time to add the soup left over from cooking the ribs just now, which is also considered a stock.
The ribs were directly put down and cooked together, and when the soup opened, Chengxin was in the current variety of vegetarian dishes, and before the pot was finally started, Chengxin asked them to put out the fire, and then put down the sliced beef and lean pork.
Then I tasted it, it tasted good, but it was short of salt, so Chengxin added a little more salt, and a pot of hot pot was cooked.
"Alright, get ready to dry.
Cheng Xin said to everyone, and the girls started to video again, what kind of scooping, eating around the earthen stove. Anyway, I'll use your phone to record and take pictures of you, and I'll have to give my grandfather a revisit if you use it.
A pot of dishes was eaten in half an hour, and a few people were not too spicy, so they drank a lot of tea.
This time Chengxin was a lot more relaxed, Su Xue and the others volunteered to go to the lake to wash the dishes, and the name is beautiful, you men cook, then our women wash the dishes.
Ignoring them, Chengxin, Li Jianguo and Tang Zhenghua began to prepare for fishing.
The matter of bait was taken care of by Li Jianguo, and Chengxin was also happy, holding a hand pole, taking a lump of wine lees and earthworms to the place where the crucian carp was dropped last time to make a nest and dry.
After fishing for a while, Chengxin crucian carp Huang Lading caught several fish, and the two people who caught big fish have not yet opened.
"Brother Xiao Zhong, you don't have any big fish in this lake? I didn't eat for half an hour. Li Jianguo asked.
No big fish? Chengxin was not happy, and took out his mobile phone and flipped out the video.
"Brother Li, come and see.
After speaking, Chengxin handed over the mobile phone.
"Ouch, I'm obedient, what a big grass carp, caught here? Li Jianguo asked in surprise.
"What do you think? Chengxin's casual hand is a rhetorical question.
"Hehe, if you have it, I'll just catch one similar to you, and after speaking, I started fishing with great interest.
In the afternoon, the two did not catch too big fish, three or four catties of grass carp caught two, and silver carp and silver carp also fished two.
The largest one is a mouth that is nearly one meter long, and I don't know how Tang Zhenghua dropped her.
As for Chengxin, fishing can be an afternoon of crucian carp and yellow spicy ding, a total of six or seven catties, and two unexpected joy stone crawlers, which look a little similar to yellow spicy ding, but the mouth to the abdomen are flat and wider.
Su Xue and a few of them, one will pat this pat, and the other pat.
They tossed wild flowers all the time, and they all wore hats made of wild flowers on their heads.
When you're tired, come over for a cup of tea and watch them fish.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, the group also put away their things and sorted out their things, and then took the ox cart home.
After arriving home, Chengxin sent the big buffalo back to the pen of the old house, and also brought some yellow spicy dices and crucian carp for the two old men to drink in stewed soup.
After going to see the experiment, Cheng Xin took a closer look at it in his hand, and there was no problem with the skin and chicken claws under the wings, and the whole chicken was still full of vitality.
Forget it, let you go today, Chengxin put aside the idea of turning her into a white chicken and let her go.
"Hey Chengxin, don't you take that chicken away?
Seeing Chengxin leave empty-handed, grandma asked a little puzzled.
At noon, he found that there was a chicken in the basket, and when he thought of someone in his grandson, he thought that Chengxin was going to eat it, so he didn't move.
"No milk, there are a lot of fish today, so I won't eat chicken, and I'll remember to stew the yellow and spicy dice, the crucian carp is fried, I'll go back to cook first, and Chengxin will go home non-stop after speaking."
When Chengxin came back, several people took a shower, and the three girls were washing their clothes by hand at the sink, but in that way, it seemed that they hadn't washed much by hand.
"What, I have a washing machine in this kitchen, Chengxin kindly reminded.
However, the women paused, and then said to Chengxin: "No, our clothes are not too dirty, just scrub them a little."
Hehe, slap the swollen face and become fat, okay, you can wash it by hand if you are willing to do it, without saying much, Chengxin went to the kitchen and took a knife and began to kill fish.
There was no one to help him this time, maybe these people were not from ordinary families, and they hadn't killed anything.
After doing it for a while, Chengxin solved more than two catties of crucian carp tofu soup and one pound of yellow and spicy dice, a big-headed fish, plus a one-meter warped mouth.
Crucian carp is fried with pickled peppers, stewed soup with yellow and spicy dices, chopped peppers from the fish head of the big-headed fish, and sauerkraut fish with the fish body. However, this cocked mouth stumped Chengxin.
Such a big one, more than 70 centimeters long, steaming is a bit difficult, mainly because there is no such a big plate, right?
But there are more ways than difficulties, Chengxin finally went to the old house to find a stainless steel plate, rectangular, fifty centimeters, put the cocked mouth in it, bend it for him a little, and it was almost loaded.
It wasn't until dark that Chengxin made all the dishes, and none of the other dishes were all fish.
As I just said, a fried crucian carp is roasted with pickled peppers, as well as a soup stewed with yellow and spicy dices, a fish head with chopped peppers, a pot of sauerkraut fish, and the rest is steamed in the middle.
The extra-large stainless steel plate, with a cocked mouth and placed in the middle, this fish is also easy to make, cleaned, cooking wine to remove the fish, put a handful of shallots and ginger slices in the stomach, plus some bean food.
Then it is steamed in a pot, and after steaming, put some shredded green onions and coriander, and drizzle some hot vegetable oil from the pan from beginning to end.
Several people sat there taking pictures, and then kept them ready to eat.
"Zhenghua, what's wrong with you? Calf pain? Huang Qian asked her husband.
"Well, it's a little bit in the afternoon, and it's even more painful this night, maybe it's going to rain tomorrow, Tang Zhenghua said.
The rest of the people took out their mobile phones to take a look, well, the weather forecast said that there would be light rain tomorrow, which seemed to be the cause of the weather.
"Do you want to take some painkillers? Huang Qian asked, seeing that her husband's calf hurt her, she also felt distressed.
"Hehe, no, it's a small problem, just grit your teeth and it's over, and it'll be almost the same tomorrow morning, Tang Zhenghua said.
A few people saw that he could persevere, and he didn't persuade him much, painkillers are not too good things, and they don't take them if they can.
