Chapter 318: Homemade Kabayaki Eel
The next day, after dawn.
Li Duoyu squatted on the stone bar and brushed his teeth, and the little fat dun got up reluctantly, his eyes were full of dark circles.
It doesn't look very good in spirit, and it looks stupid.
"The light in your room was on all the time last night, did you stay up late to write your winter vacation homework?"
Li Haoran said unlovely:
"It's done."
"You have thirty pages of homework during the winter vacation, can you finish it in one night, and you are also at stake, you didn't scribble, right?"
Li Haoran originally calculated well, a page of ten minutes, thirty pages can be completed in five hours, but the math problems are too difficult, if you calculate one by one, it is too late.
Sitting in the back, almost all the answers to math problems are scribbled, and when his aunt corrects his homework, he will definitely get angry.
"Uncle, when my aunt brings her winter vacation homework back in the evening, can you give me my winter vacation homework."
Li Duoyu, whose mouth was full of toothpaste foam, rinsed his mouth: "I had a lot of fun during the winter vacation, and now I know I'm afraid." ”
Little Fat Dun smiled bitterly: "Uncle, I know it's wrong, now I can only rely on you, if my aunt finds out, I will be scolded to death." ”
Li Duoyu glanced at this little chubby dun and couldn't help sighing, not everyone is suitable for studying.
With his procrastination character, if he wants to do big things in the future, it is estimated that he will be at the doorstep.
As an elder, there is nothing to teach him, only to teach him some correct life values.
"Haoran, as men, since we have done something wrong, we must have the courage to take responsibility, there is nothing to be afraid of being criticized, we are afraid that we know our mistakes, but we don't correct them."
Li Haoran looked aggrieved as if he had been struck by lightning.
"Uncle, you didn't teach me like this before, when you stole the chickens of the Wang Po's family and blew up the water tank of the old Lu family, you said that you would be fine if you were not discovered."
Seeing that Li Haoran said so loudly, Li Duoyu looked around sharply, fortunately the neighbors were not there, otherwise it would be quite embarrassing if they heard it.
No matter how you say it, he is now a village director, an advanced individual at the county level, and he still has to save face, how can he let these petty thieves ruin his image.
"Haoran, don't talk about this kind of thing in the future, you know no, our two things are different in nature."
"What's the difference?"
Li Duoyu was really asked, so he had to say seriously: "I'm an adult, you're a child, can we be the same?" ”
"Uncle, I really beg you, help me take out the homework book tonight."
The corners of Li Duoyu's mouth twitched.
"It's useless to help you take it out, when the time comes, your aunt will pay special attention to your winter vacation homework, and if you don't find it by then, think that you haven't turned it in, wouldn't it be even worse."
Li Haoran said: "Auntie doesn't change her winter vacation homework so quickly, it normally takes about a week, I just want to take it out and redo the scribbled part." ”
"Really?"
Li Haoran swept away the previous haze, his eyes widened, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice.
"When the time comes, I'll help you take a look."
"Thank you, uncle."
What Li Haoran didn't expect was that his uncle sold him in a blink of an eye, and after Li Duoyu returned to the bedroom, he saw Zhou Xiaoying, who was planning to go to school, and said directly:
"When you come back in the evening, give me Haoran's winter vacation homework book."
Zhou Xiaoying frowned, and her whole aura changed, instantly showing the majesty of being a teacher.
"Did he scribble the answer again?"
Li Duoyu nodded: "However, this time it's okay to admit your mistakes, and I want to take it back and do it again." ”
"But Haoran is always like this, it's not a way, there are so many days of winter vacation, why do you always have to rush to do homework on the last night?"
Li Duoyu smiled awkwardly: "It seems that I used to be like him." ”
"That's why you got a certificate of completion in junior high school."
Li Duoyu muttered softly: "Although I am a graduate, it's not good now." ”
Zhou Xiaoying said seriously: "Reading good books is equivalent to one more way out, which is the easiest way out for us." ”
Li Duoyu also felt that what Zhou Xiaoying said was very reasonable, but for them poor students, it was really painful to study.
"I also think that Mr. Zhou is right."
Seeing Li Duoyu's appearance, Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help but twist his arm: "You can't teach Tutu like this in the future, you know no." ”
"Pain, I know."
And at this moment, the voice of Old Man Mi came from the other side of the courtyard.
"Duoyu, you're not at home."
When Li Duoyu heard it, he hurriedly replied: "Yes, I'll come right away." ”
Li Duoyu rubbed his twisted arm and pouted: "It's too hard, it's blue now." ”
After Li Duoyu went out, he found that Old Man Mi was carrying a sack: "Old Mi, I've worked hard for you, just ask me to get it, why don't you run by yourself." ”
"It's just a small thing, just a convenient thing."
Old Man Mi continued: "These eels were caught temporarily, and only eight of them were obtained, and seven of them were small, but fortunately, there was a big one in it, about three catties, which was still good." ”
"It's okay, I just want the small ones, by the way, how much do these total cost."
"Exactly fifteen."
Zhou Xiaoying, who was just about to go out, couldn't help frowning after hearing the price: "How can you buy such an expensive thing." ”
Old Man Mi said with a smile: "Teacher Zhou, you don't understand this, this thing is a little expensive, but it's good for men, Director Li is so busy every day, he really should make up for it." ”
Zhou Xiaoying suddenly remembered what Li Duoyu said yesterday, and said that he wanted to change something to make up for it, could it be this thing.
She just said casually, why is it so serious, and she really buys something to make up for it.
She also occasionally chatted with female colleagues about bedside topics, and compared to other men, Duoyu was already very good.
The one in Shanshan's family is Xiao Weidong, who was imprisoned, and he beats his wife very well, but if you come to that, it is said that it will not take more than two minutes from the beginning to the end each time.
The two have been married for five years, and she really hasn't experienced a full tide.
After giving Old Man Mi fifteen pieces.
Li Duoyu emptied the wild eels in the sack into a wooden barrel and carried them to the well to wash them.
The eels are quite energetic, and they are not easy to catch, and it seems that they are just caught, just like Old Man Mi said.
The wild eels didn't look much different from the ones he farmed, except for the color.
The ones he farms look black and white, while the wild eels are either yellow or cyan.
And to really distinguish whether an eel is wild or farmed, it is not about the body color, but about the details.
Wild eels have smaller eyes, a wider mouth and slightly larger fins, and a bloodshot belly with a gold-edged belly.
Li Duoyu still remembers very clearly that in his previous life, the price of wild eels in Rongcheng was often five to ten times that of farmed eels, and this huge profit made many farmers think crookedly.
Some farmers have developed something called "ecological eel" in order to pass off farmed eels as wild.
It is to raise the farmed eels in a specific stream area for a period of time, so that after changing color, they will starve it for a period of time and sell it as wild eels.
Take the hairy crab to Yangcheng Lake to "cross the water" of a nature.
The only difference is that the eel will undergo a change in body color depending on the environment, making it look more like a wild eel.
However, for grilled eels, the difference between wild and farmed is not very big, and the most important thing is the kabayaki sauce required for grilled eels.
That's the soul of Kabayaki eel.
During the years of working in the dark, Li Duoyu didn't know how many times he had made the puyaki sauce, and the recipe had long been deeply ingrained in his mind.
The main ingredients of Kabayaki sauce are mirin, sake, sugar, and soy sauce.
Sugar and soy sauce are definitely available at home, but the more troublesome are the two seasonings of mirin and sake.
Miso is a rice-wine-like seasoning in the island nation, which is brewed from sweet glutinous rice and koji.
In the Japanese food system, mirin has the same status as domestic cooking wine, and it is also used to remove the smell and improve the freshness, and it is also a very versatile flavored wine.
Fortunately, mirin is not very difficult to brew, it can be brewed in just a few days, and in the absence of mirin, you can also directly use local rice wine and brown sugar to replace it.
And sake can also be replaced with local rice wine, and the green and red wine made by Daddy happens to be a type of rice wine.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Duoyu asked Chen Huiying, who was feeding rice cereal to Xiao Tutu in the room, "Mother, is there rice wine and brown sugar at home?" ”
Chen Huiying replied: "There is brown sugar, but there is no rice wine." ”
"Okay, I know, I'll go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something, if there is anything to buy."
"There's nothing to buy."
After a while, Li Duoyu bought all the ingredients needed to make the sauce and began to boil the sauce directly.
The recipe for kabayaki sauce is very simple, but to make a delicious sauce is a great test of the chef's skills.
Even if Li Duoyu is very familiar with the kabayaki sauce, but in the case of different raw materials, he has boiled the kabayaki sauce five or six times.
Only then did he concoct a satisfactory sauce, although it could not be exactly the same as when he was in the island country in his previous life, but the overall flavor was at least eight images.
When the kabayaki sauce is ready.
Next.
It's about killing eels and grilled eels.
In the island country, before they killed the eel, they would use ice to stun the eel, and it would be easier to kill it when the time came.
Where can you find ice on Tantan Island?
Li Duoyu directly grabbed an eel that was almost seven taels in size, fell directly on the chopping board, and then held the knife with his back to its head, and "Bang Bang" was twice.
As the eel's body continued to twist and roll, it didn't take a minute for the eel to give up struggling
Li Duoyu took a clean iron nail and nailed the eel's head directly to the cutting board.
The kitchen knife gently slashed and pulled down the eel's gills, and the action of breaking the belly and deboning the fish was smooth.
In less than a minute, an eel was cleaned up by him, and the fastest he had ever done was twenty seconds.
After processing the eel.
Next is the most important part of the charcoal grilling process, when grilling the eel, it is very important to master the heat.
Among them, the skin of the eel is a very important part, if it is grilled too much, it will lose its Q-elastic fat, and if it is not baked enough, it will produce a fishy smell.
Generally, it is necessary to bake until the skin is slightly charred and oozing grease, and during the baking process, the sauce must be brushed four or five times.
In fact, grilled eel is not particularly difficult, it is similar to domestic barbecue, and you can master the heat.
It took most of the day.
Li Duoyu finally grilled an eel, smelled it, and the charcoal fire grilled it was very fragrant.
Li Duoyu tried it first and found that it was really delicious, and the wild eel seemed to taste a little better, and the meat was firmer and more elastic.
"Auntie, come out and help me eat something and see how it tastes."
Chen Huiying came out with a small picture on her back, and after seeing that the fourth child had made a mess of the kitchen, she said with a little anger:
"I love cooking so much, why don't I go to the city and be a cook."
"Let's try it first, how does my grilled eel taste?"
Chen Huiying glanced at the grilled eel and frowned slightly, but she still picked up the chopsticks and put a piece of eel meat into her mouth.
The moment of the lower mouth.
Chen Huiying's whole person froze in place, she had never eaten such a delicious thing, and her whole person was instantly refreshed.
"Duoyu, where did you learn this dish?"
Li Duoyu grinned: "I learned it from the people of the island country." ”
He did learn it from the islanders, and Li Duoyu really didn't lie to her about this.
Chen Huiying was speechless, this stinky boy had been shouting that he wanted to go to the island country to be a chef before, but he didn't want to go out to investigate last time, but he really went to learn.
"A-Niang, is this grilled eel delicious?"
Chen Huiying nodded: "It's delicious, it's very delicious." ”
"It's delicious, you eat more."
But after eating a piece, Chen Huiying put down her chopsticks: "I'll wait for everyone to come back in the evening, and then we will eat together." ”
"There's a lot of eel, you eat it first, and I'll bake it."
But no matter what Li Duoyu says.
Chen Huiying is still reluctant to eat.
Li Duoyu saw that he couldn't move her, and he didn't persuade her anymore, their generation is used to it, and food and clothing have been a problem since childhood, let alone eating delicious food.
But even if there is something delicious, they are often reluctant to eat alone, and they have to wait for everyone to come back and eat together.
This reminded Li Duoyu of when he was in junior high school, when someone else gave them a watermelon.
Lao Li and A-Niang were reluctant to eat, so they hid in the cabinet, wanting to wait for him and Xiaoying to come back and eat together.
As a result, the watermelon was bitten by a mouse, and by the time it was found, it was half rotten.
The angry A-Niang for a whole year, as long as she sees a mouse, she will chase and fight, and she will not give up if she doesn't catch it.
Li Duoyu was holding Tutu.
The guy was quite restless, and bit directly at his shoulder, and made a sucking motion.
Depending on the situation, I would like to drink milk.
Li Duoyu took a chopstick, dipped it in the juice on the grilled fish, and put it in front of Xiao Tutu.
After this guy smelled the smell, he directly inhaled it.
"Dad~Dad~"
Li Duoyu made a small piece of rotten, spinless eel meat and put it in his mouth.
Little Tutu's eyes widened and he had an expression of enjoyment.
"Daddy~Delicious~"
When Xiao Tutu said the word delicious, Li Duoyu was stunned, is this the process of growing up with the child?
Before, he would only call his father and mother, but now he will actually say that it is delicious, and sure enough, the child changes so much every time. (End of chapter)
