Chapter 293 Smoked Fish

"Speaking of this smoked fish, hehe, I can't help but want to eat a plate, the main raw materials of this authentic Yanxia smoked fish grill are made of hemp hook fish, boat nails, red tail slightly, warped mouth white and other fish, these fish are the characteristic fish species of Fushui River. The resulting smoked fish grill is thick, delicate and has few bones. The first is to wash, the fish is broken first, the fish is exhausted, and then rinsed with water, repeating several times. The second is steaming, sprinkle some salt on the washed fish, put it in a large pot and steam it over medium heat, and the steaming time depends on the number of fish until it is steamed. The third is to dry, put the cooked fish on the bamboo pole one by one, and move gently in the process of taking the fish to prevent the fish from being broken. The drying time should not be too long, as long as the steamed fish is dried in water. Fourth, the smoke, this is the key link, first the dried water of the fish on the wire fence fumigation, can not use open flame, the fuel is best to choose plate crumbs and chaff two, in the fumigation can also add some orange peel, the smoke can not be too big, can not be too small, every once in a while to turn the fish over, once can not turn the second time, can also be placed on the sun during the day to dry, the color after the fumigation is light yellow, there is a fragrance, you can eat raw, the best way to eat is to use slow fire to roast and eat. The man said.

Wow??? I couldn't help but swallow my saliva, this ancient people were really particular about eating, I didn't expect this small place to eat a fish is so elegant, as soon as I heard this man's description, a plate of this grilled Yanxia Xunyu fish roasted came to my mind.

"Thank you, big brother, I can eat the most authentic smoked fish there, how do I go out?" I quickly asked.

"Oh. Hehe, I also want to go and eat a plate, the contemptible surname is Zhang Mingqiang, who runs a cloth village in Tongshan, what is the name of the girl?"

"Oh, call me Xiao Qin. Hehe. I replied.

"In this way, I'll take Miss Xiao to the Liu Ji Fishing Village. Zhang Qiang said.

"Okay, I'm tired of Brother Zhang, Xiao Er, bring me another plate of sesame cakes. I'll take it. I shouted to the little two. I thought that such a delicious hemp cake would be taken back and let Liu Yifan taste it too.

"Miss Xiao is polite, I want to go anyway, I'm just dropping by. Zhang Qiang said politely.

After a while, Xiao Er wrapped a hemp cake in paper and brought it over, and after I paid, I went out of the hemp cake shop with Zhang Qiang.

"Go ahead. After turning left, we will reach the Fushui River. There are more than 10 fish smoked shops on this Fushui River. Outsiders don't know which one is the most authentic. Zhang Qiang said to me as he walked.

"Yes, hehe, it's good that I met Brother Zhang today. Wait for the fish money ordered by Brother Zhang to count as mine, and I will be treated as Brother Zhang to show me the way and explain the hard work of these ingredients. I said with a smile.

"No, no, you are guests, we are the masters, how can there be a saying that the guests invite the master, if you want to invite, it should be me to invite you, wait for the fish you ordered, Brother Zhang will pay, you don't have to excuse yourself." "This Zhang Qiang seems to be extremely enthusiastic and sincere, it seems that this person is really good.

"How can you let Brother Zhang break the bank, no. "I'm a little embarrassed.

"Just listen to me, when it comes to this most authentic smoked fish, it is the Liu Ji Fishing Village, the ancestor of Liu Ji's boss Liu Xiaosen is the first person to invent this smoked fish practice, passed down from generation to generation, although the smoked fish shop is opening more and more, but we locals know that this Liu Ji is the most authentic," said Zhang Qiang, who had the sole of his shoes.

Naturally, I would like him to say that food is very tempting to me.

"As early as more than 100 years ago, the ancestor of Liu Ji also smoked a plate of fish for the emperor at that time who visited the private service, and the emperor ate Longyan Dayue at that time, and rewarded Liu Ji's ancestor with a gold ingot, and now the gold ingots are still placed in the shop, this is a living signboard, hehe. Zhang Qiang said.

By this time we had reached the Fushui River.

At a glance, many shops are still open under the lights, and people come and go, shouting and shouting, so it is not lively.

Come on, delicious smoked fish???

Come on, the most authentic smoked fish, the guest officer is invited????

Eat the best smoked fish, come to Wang Ji?????

Eat smoked fish and listen to songs???? There is also a sound of opera coming from inside the shop, this businessman is shrewd, powerful for profit, can think of any way.

"This is Liu Ji. Zhang Qiang took me to a very lively shop and stopped.

This shop is the largest of all the shops along the river, and it has the largest number of diners, and almost every table is full, so this business is extremely hot.

"The two guest officers are inside, please, there are still places inside. A shopkeeper who looked quite handsome stepped forward to greet us and said.

Zhang Qiang and I entered the shop with the little er.

There is a display table in the upper left corner of the shop, and in the middle of the platform is the gold ingot, wrapped in a red cloth, and placed very elegantly, it seems that the generations of Liu Ji have attached great importance to the gold ingot.

The shopkeeper took me to find a seat and sat down before speaking.

"What flavor of smoked fish do the two guest officers want to eat, we have Baiwei smoked, five-spice mix, spicy mix, spicy roast, original roast, original steamed, original smoked seven flavors, each flavor is nine yuan, and Baiwei smoked is five yuan. How many dishes do you order, guest officer?" asked Xiao Er.

Seven processes??? It sounds very tempting, but I'd like to try all seven of them.

"The best taste here is the original steamed and grilled, and the barilla smoke is also delicious, so let's start with these three. Zhang Qiang took out two copper coins and gave them to the little two.

Xiao Er took the copper coin and walked into the inner hall.

"Miss Xiao, don't think I'm making my own opinion, hehe, what I introduced to you is absolutely not wrong, the most delicious of these seven flavors are these three, and there are two of us, three plates of fish are just right, and it's a waste to order too much, if you still want to eat, you can also order other flavors tomorrow." This Zhang Qiang seemed to see that I was a little uncomfortable, so he said this.

"What Brother Zhang said makes sense, hehe. I replied with a smile.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties walked out of the inner hall of the store. This person has a little fat body, two goatees at the corners of his mouth, and a blue blue hat on his head.

"Oh, Boss Liu is out, this person is the owner of this store, Liu Xiaosen. Zhang Qiang on the side said.

"Boss Liu???"

"Oh, Boss Liu is good. ”

Many people in the dining hall knew this, and Liu Xiaosen greeted him one after another.

"Thank you for coming to my Liu Ji, I feel very honored to be a person in Liu, I hope you will give more opinions about what is wrong with the shop, and we will correct it. Be sure to correct it. Liu Xiaosen hugged his fists and said politely to everyone.

I can't see that this person is quite good at business.

That Zhang Qiang also got up at this time and stepped forward to talk to Liu Xiaosen. I don't care much about their conversation, I care about the three fish that I ordered to come up quickly.

About ten minutes later, the shopkeeper came to us with three plates.

"Look at Luo, guest officer. The fish you ordered. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he put the three plates of fish on the table next to me and Zhang Qiang.

Wow???

This taste???

It's so fragrant???

"This dish is plain steamed. You see. The fish meat is dried after repeated processes and then taken back to the steamer to steam, the fragrance is pure, and the steamed fish are all our Tongshan small ginger unique to Tongshan. The small ginger is shredded, and steamed with this smoked fish, it tastes very good, let's eat it first. Zhang Qiang pointed to the fish closest to me and said.

I quickly picked up my chopsticks and put a piece of fish in my mouth.

Oh??? The taste is so refreshing, the fish is steamed after being smoked and grilled, and it becomes chewy and tender, and there is no trace of fishy taste.

"It's delicious. I couldn't help but say in admiration.

"Hehe, let's try this plate again, this plate is the original grill, the original sun-dried dried fish has to go through an hour of baking on the slow fire before it becomes like this, an hour to keep turning, keep brushing this Liu Ji special spices, eat and see. Zhang Qiang pointed to the second set and said to me.

I picked up a small fish in the second dish and put it in my mouth.

Click????

Ah, the fish was grilled so crispy, I chewed it with my teeth, and the fish was crispy like a biscuit in modern society, and the taste was two extremes compared to the steamed taste.

"It's delicious, it's delicious. I put another piece of fish in my mouth and said.

"The best thing to eat should be this plate of Baiwei smoked, this is Liu Ji's signature smoked fish, if you say that the first two plates taste good, but many fishing villages can make this taste, but this Baiwei smoked in addition to this Liu Ji no other fishing village can make it again, this Baiwei smoked in the smoked fish, even the firewood used in the smoked fish is added to no less than 20 kinds of spices, the people in charge of smoking the fish are all the close relatives of this Liu Ji, come and try it. Zhang Qiang said.

I quickly picked up a piece of fish from the third plate and put it in my mouth.

Crisp??????

Fragrant??????

I couldn't understand this fragrance for a while, but it was very fragrant anyway, and sure enough, this signature dish tasted amazing.

"How's that?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"It's delicious, I've never eaten fish so good. I said with a smile.

"Then eat more. Zhang Qiang also started eating with chopsticks.

Then we both ate the three plates of fish to our heart's content.

"Xiao Er, bring me five plates of fish with different flavors. "After a few minutes of eating, there was a sound behind me, and it sounded familiar.

Who is it? I couldn't react for a moment, and I couldn't help but turn around and look at the past.

It's Xiaoyaozi????

I saw Xiaoyaozi and another man sitting at the dinner table not far from us, this man was estimated to be the same age as Liu Yifan, and at this time he was respectfully setting up the dishes and chopsticks for Xiaoyaozi, this person should be a disciple of Xiaoyaomen.

"Oh, Xiao Qin, you're here too. The carefree child soon spotted me and said to me with a smile.

"Father-in-law. I shouted, got up and walked over to Xiaoyaozi and the others.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to meet you here, girl. Xiaoyaozi said to me.

"Yes, father-in-law, why did you come to Tongshan?" I asked, sitting down.

At this time, Zhang Qiang also walked over.

"Miss Xiao, who are these two?" asked Zhang Qiang.

"Oh, Brother Zhang, this is my father-in-law. I said to Zhang Qiang.

"Fortunately, I will be glad to meet, contemptible Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang said politely to Xiaoyaozi.

"Oh, hehe, let's do it, I haven't seen my righteous daughter for a long time, we have something to say, I'm sorry. Xiaoyaozi said to Zhang Qiang.

"Well, Brother Zhang, thank you for your hospitality today. I said.

"Oh, hehe, that's good, Miss Xiao, I'll take my leave first. After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, he returned to the table to eat smoked fish.

"Let's eat smoked fish first, hehe, let's find a place to talk after eating, by the way, this is my eldest disciple called Deng Yao, this martial arts conference Deng Yao represents us in the free door, Deng Yao, this is the righteous daughter Xiao Qin in my heart, you can call him junior sister." Xiaoyaozi pointed to the middle-aged man and said to me.

"Hello junior sister. Deng Yao said to me politely, this Deng Yaoguo has a face, he is not tall, and his voice is soft.

"Hello senior brother. I said.

Then Xiao Er brought five plates of fish, and the two of us began to eat. (To be continued......)
