Chapter 16: Fish Stew (Part II)

With the materials ready, Jiayi is about to officially start. After lighting the fire and setting up the pot, he carefully took out a small pot of oil from the small cabinet next to him, which was the oil pressed from the camellia seeds in the mountains.

Every autumn, the villagers will go to Shiling to pick camellia fruits, come back to dry them and squeeze the oil. Because there are several quantities harvested every year, limited by the pressing process, the amount of tea oil obtained each year is not much. In addition, the lord will collect a large part of the tax, and this oil is more precious.

In order to be able to do a good job of this fish, Jiayi can be regarded as having made a bloody investment. When the pot was hot, he carefully poured some oil into the pot and heated it. He also cut a few slices of salty fat meat into the oil pan and fried it all.

Generally speaking, animal fat is more fragrant, and adding some meat can make the fish more fragrant and increase the flavor. And after the fat is fried, the fat meat will not get tired of eating. Then add minced garlic and chopped onion and stir-fry until fragrant.

Wait until the chopped onion has changed color, then fry the sliced red ribbon fish and the three-scaled fish with a knife. Kaichi retrieved the ale from Gary's room and poured some into the pot to remove the fish. If you don't have cooking wine, let's replace it with this.

He took a wooden spatula and gently turned the fish over in the pot, but unfortunately, it was not fried well, and the skin of the fish was broken and broken. If only there was a nonstick pan, he prayed silently in his heart. Originally, I should have added some old soy sauce to flavor and color at this time, but no, not even sauce, whether it was soybean paste or bean paste, I had to forget it.

Seeing that the fish was fried, Jia Yi quickly scooped up some water and slowly added it to the pot. Every time he added water to the pot after frying, Jiayi was always worried, for fear that the clay pot would suddenly heat and crack open. But fortunately, I don't know if the quality of the pot is excellent or because I am more careful, the pot has been safe and sound.

Add water until the water is submerged over the fish, and Jia Yi took a wooden spatula and copied the bottom of the pot to prevent it from sticking. Then cover the pot with a lid and add firewood to boil.

After boiling for about 20 minutes, the water is already boiling. Jiayi opened the lid of the pot and used a wooden spatula to copy the bottom of the pot to prevent it from sticking. If the bottom of the pan is burned, it will not be perfect. Add a pinch of salt, cover the pot and continue to cook for about 10 minutes, then reduce the soup slightly.

Sprinkle the chopped garlic sprouts and green onion leaves into the pot, cover the pot and simmer a little, and you can start the pot. In this way, this not-so-perfect clay pot fish stew is complete.

The rain was still in the pot, so Donna got up and followed the scent to the kitchen.

"It smells so good!Kaichi, did you make it?" Donna asked Kaichi as soon as she smelled the fragrance. Although limited by the materials, the family has a certain recognition of Jiayi's cooking skills.

Jia Yi feels that his cooking level has surpassed that of his previous life, although it is still not very good according to the level of the earth. When he used to cook, he always liked to put a little spice in the kitchen. What kind of spices in the kitchen do not put a little bit in the dish, I always feel that there is something shortcoming, and my heart is itchy. I especially like to put vinegar, and I like to put a little bit of any dish, more or less a problem. So it turned out that his cooking was not very delicious.

Here, he doesn't have so many spices, but the dishes he makes are more refreshing. And on Earth, there are parents who cook at home and restaurants outside the home, so the demand for cooking skills is not so strong. He sometimes wants to practice his cooking skills, and he heard that good cooking skills are more attractive to girls (children, you read more novels, and your appearance is more attractive to girls, you look at giant pandas, sell a cute, and eat for a lifetime). It's a pity that he has a terminal illness, advanced lazy cancer and advanced procrastination, and he is incurable.

And if he didn't cook hard, he would have to eat those dark dishes now. I don't have a choice, I have to be more careful when I start cooking. After all, he is so young, although he has developed well, but he can't even harden except for appetite. Assi...

Seeing that Donna had come to the pot, Jia Yi took a small piece of fish meat with a spoon and handed it to Donna's mouth: "Come and taste it, see if it's delicious!"

Donna stretched out her snow-white teeth, carefully bit the fish, blew suddenly, and then put the fish in her mouth, and said as she ate, "Well, it's delicious! ”

People here chew some rhizomes called polydont wood every morning to clean their teeth, and they don't brush their teeth or anything, and they don't know why their teeth are so well maintained. Although it is called wood, it is actually a herbaceous plant that grows everywhere near water. The roots of the multi-toothed wood are relatively thick, and when chewed open, they are full of fibers, and it feels like wood, so it is named after the wood.

"It's all thanks to the teacher. When I was an apprentice with the medicine veteran, it was more delicious to add some pharmacology to the dish!" said Kaichi. In fact, these are all excuses, just to cover up his own abnormality, and he explained it to his parents.

It is really a wise choice to worship medicine as a teacher, and if there is anything abnormal with others, just say that it was taught by the teacher. Yao Lao is usually lonely and mysterious, and his communication with the villagers is limited. Parents will never go to Yao Lao for confirmation of these things, and Yao Lao does not pay attention to these small things at all, and he does not come to the Jia family. Therefore, Jiayi's practice of Tai Chi and cooking are all blamed on Yao Lao, perfect!

The family believes his excuses, in fact, parents are happy that their children are more mature and smart, and they don't think much about it. They haven't experienced the influence of Internet novels, and they can't think of things like crossing over and grabbing at all. In fact, Jia Yi also cooked before worshipping Yao Lao as a teacher, and he did it very well. But his parents are usually busy with work, so they accepted Jiayi's explanation without much thought. It's that Donna will be a little confused, but she is also a little Lori herself, and some of them still care about what these messes do. Besides, Jiayi's performance can only be said to be smart, and he is far from being a demon.

As soon as Jia saw that the fish was ready and the rice was OK, he took out Yao Lao's food box and filled two servings: "Mom, I'll go to the master's house to deliver the food, and I'll eat it at his side." ”

After speaking, he took the food box and walked to the medicine family.

Jia Yi came to Yao's hometown, and Yao Lao had already gotten up and was dispensing medicine in the medicine room. As soon as Jia set up the meal, he went to call the teacher to come over for dinner.

"Teacher, it's time to eat, there's something delicious today, I'll make it." He greeted Yao Lao like this.

In fact, today's dish has been talked about for most of the day, in fact, it is just an extra fish, the staple food is wheat, not flour, and it is boiled with a little salt. There are only two dishes, one for fish stew and one for boiled cabbage. Why Jiayi does it is called stewing, and the others are called boiling, because the others are boiled, simply boiled, added water, cut, boiled, salted, cooked, simple and rough, easy to learn and easy to know.

Yao Lao came to the table and saw a large bowl of snow-white fish, but he didn't react for a moment: "What is this?" Where did it come from? How did it come from?"

"Teacher, this is a fish. Jia Yi found out the fish head at the bottom of the bowl and administered the medicine.

At this time, the old man had already recognized that it was a fish, but he couldn't figure out how it came about: "Nonsense, I'm not old enough to even know the fish, I'm asking how the fish came from." ”

"Cut, you clearly asked what this is?" Kaichi pursed his lips and muttered quietly.

But this little action seemed to be heard by Yao Lao, and he was glared at by the old man. Jia Yi hurriedly said, "Of course I caught it!

"You caught it? I only seem to have given you the line, and the hook hasn't arrived yet, right? Do you still have a fish hook at home? How could it be?" he felt a little incredulous, if it weren't for the real bowl of fish here, he would have thought that Kaichi was lying.

"Could it be that I'm really old enough to forget what I've done?" Yao Lao thought to himself, he was already a little doubtful of himself, thinking that he had already bought the fish hook back and gave it to Jia Yi.

"Teacher, this is not an iron hook, a wooden hook. Jia Yi explained to his teacher.

"Wooden hooks?"

"It's just to cut a small wooden skewer, tie the thread in the middle, put on an earthworm, tie it to the river, and after one night, you will catch a fish. ”

Kaichi roughly explained his initiative, at least in this case. He was still a little confused when he saw the teacher's expression, so he said, "Teacher, I'll go home and show you the fish hook I made." ”

The one who looks so sad is simply a brocade that does not return to his hometown, like a brocade at night.

Seeing this, Yao Lao hurriedly stopped: "No need, eat first, it should be cold in a while, and I'll talk about the fish hook later." ”

"Oh. When Jia heard this, he had no choice but to stop his ostentatious heart and sit down to eat.

Yao Lao tasted the fish and unconsciously praised: "This fish is really good, it is delicious, the meat is delicate, and it is not fishy." "Even when he used to be out surfing, he rarely ate such delicious fish.

Jia Yi was very happy to hear this: "Really! I did it, I did it alone." ”

Yao Lao listened and nodded slightly, not knowing whether it was Zanyu Meat or Zanjiayi. He felt that he still seemed to underestimate his students, not only did they cook well, but they could also use the conditions around him to solve problems creatively.

It's just that he doesn't know that it's not Jiayi's original, Jiayi is a smuggler, and these things are all brought to the doctrine. As the saying goes, stand on the shoulders of giants. Well, this sentence was said by Newton, not as the saying goes.
