Chapter 10: Delicious Pickled Fish

I returned home with my third sister in my arms. It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. The sun was still very strong. After all, it was still mid-August in summer.

Xi Yunfei was already so hungry that he was rumbling. The people of the Tang Dynasty were used to eating two meals a day. After eating a bowl of noodles soup at around 10 o'clock in the morning, the water has not yet been dripping.

"Brother, hurry up and pack a few fish, I'll prepare the seasonings, let's cook sauerkraut fish and eat it." Xi Yunfei shouted to the elder brother who was dancing with a mountain knife next to him.

The third sister in her arms also followed suit: "Brother, I won't kill fish, I'm hungry and flat. Are you going to starve me to death?"

"Uh." The elder brother said that it was hard for you brother and sister to serve him. He looked helplessly at the old mother who was lowering her head and putting her shoes on her soles. However, Liu turned a blind eye to the matter outside the window and had no intention of paying attention to him.

There is no way, the elder brother is like his father, and the elder brother is so hard.

I picked out two grass carp with arms length from the water tank in the corner of the yard. The elder brother looked happy. There were always 15 or 16 kilograms in the two. There were more than a dozen of them in the water tank size, and there would be meat to eat every day in the future.

"Erlang, how do you plan to cook it? Roast in fire or boil it in water?" Liu looked at Xi Yunfei.

Xi Yunfei put down the third sister in her arms and let her play with it by herself. He looked at the two big grass carp weighing seven or eight pounds, and saliva flowed, saying, "Brother separates the fish and cuts it into thin slices alone, and just leave the rest to me."

"Cut the slices, are you going to make fish stew?" Liu's eyebrows slightly frowned. The fish stew is eaten raw. Although it can be eaten, it is not a special sauce at home, so it will definitely be difficult to eat it directly.

Xi Yunfei didn't know what fish stew was, nor did he know that fish stew was the sashimi of later generations. He shook his head and said, "I want to make pickled fish, forget it, you will know in a while, so you can relax. After cooking, you can ensure that you can eat a big bowl."

Xi Yunfei told his elder brother how to cut the fish, so he went into the bedroom to buy a pack of pickled fish seasonings for 30 yuan.

After thinking about it, there seemed to be no cooking oil at home, so I bought another bottle of Golden Dragon Fish Mixed Oil 5L for 40 yuan. Before going out, I tore off the packaging and threw it directly into the stove in the yard.

"This thing is also in your bag?" the elder brother asked, pointing to the big barrel of oil.

Xi Yunfei was speechless, why ask so clearly: "They are all from our house. What is my bag? Isn't mine yours?"

"Uh." The elder brother smiled embarrassedly, but Liu looked at his eldest son with anger. There was no need to ask some of them too clearly.

The third sister was so heartbroken that she ran over: "Second brother, what is this? Is it delicious?"

Xi Yunfei smiled and said, "Silly girl, this is the oil used for cooking, not just drink it, oh, by the way..."

After touching the third sister's head, Xi Yunfei ran into the house again. When he came out again, he was holding a large bottle of iced black tea in his hand, which cost only 5 yuan.

"Come on, this is a drink. The third sister goes to get a few bowls and let's drink it separately."

Open the iced black tea and put it on the bluestone slab, Xi Yunfei started to get busy with the blended oil and seasoning bag.

There are some ready-made seasonings such as onions, ginger, garlic, pepper and other ready-made seasonings at home. There are many of these things in the mountains. My third sister usually digs them, so there is no shortage of them.

Use a kitchen knife to cut the onion, ginger and garlic aside, wash a handful of peppercorns for later use.

Xi Yunfei filled the pot with water, put a few slices of ginger to remove the fishy smell, and planned to cook fish bone soup first. [@¥ABC Novel Network                                                                                                         �

"Brother, the water will boil later. You throw the fish bones and heads in and cook first. I'll dig some vegetables to add ingredients."

My mother, Liu, planted some common green vegetables in the backyard, including cabbage (called "玉"), carrot (called "玉"), spinach (called "玉"), okra, also called "winter amaranth", as well as onions and garlic, and two peppercorns in the corner.

Xi Yunfei's target is ginger and radish. These two types of vegetables are most suitable for stewing, especially hot pot and boiled fish bottoms, which are generally indispensable.

The original planting is good. Although there are wormholes, the leaves are large, fat, tender and juicy. Such ginger dishes are most suitable for long-term stewing, especially pork belly and vermicelli, which is simply too delicious. The radish is very healthy. If you dig one at will, it is enough for the whole family to eat.

Xi Yunfei wiped off the saliva from the corner of his mouth and went to the stream to wash the vegetables. When he came back, the yard was filled with a refreshing smell of fish.

Seeing that the fish bone soup in the clay pot had turned white, Xi Yunfei hurriedly opened the pickled fish seasoning pack and poured it in to cook it together. At the same time, the washed ginger and chopped radish slices were also added.

For a moment, the whole yard was filled with a smell of sauerkraut that made people feel salivation.

"Wow, it smells so good, it's even more fragrant than the fish soup just now." The little girl thrust Qiong's nose and hugged Xi Yunfei's thighs.

Xi Yunfei smiled, took a bowl from the side, and then scooped a spoonful of soup with a wooden spoon: "Come on, give our little princess a taste of it."

Xi Yunfei also took a sip and felt that the taste was good, but it was a little light. It seemed that there were too many vegetables, but it was okay, just add two packs of instant noodles and seasoning bags.

At this time, the eldest brother just came over with a large bowl of cut fish slices, but his eyes were staring at the bowl of soup in the little girl's hand. Is this the meaning of looking for it?

Xi Yunfei took the fish slices in anger and wanted to tease him, the greedy brother, but when he saw the fish in the bowl, he was stunned.

"I'll go, brother, you're good at knife skills. You even pulled out the fish bones?" Xi Yunfei picked up a piece of crystal clear fish slices, which were shining in the sunset.

There are many fish bones in the grass carp. Xi Yunfei was worried that the little girl would not be suitable for eating, but at this time he had no worries.

The eldest brother glanced at Xi Yunfei proudly, as if this was not a great deal, it was just killing two fish.

Xi Yunfei turned to Liu and asked, "Mom, have you been so bad before?"

Liu was stunned when he heard this. It took him a long time to react to what Xi Yunfei said. He smiled and said, "Your elder brother has been hunting in the mountains since he was a child. He taught himself how to kill a few fish. Killing a few fish is really nothing. He can also separate the flesh and blood of wild boars. All butchers in the county want to accept him as an apprentice."

"Oh? He is still a talented brother who knows nothing about himself!" Xi Yunfei once again looked at him with admiration.

The next step is very simple. Because there is no egg white and starch, Xi Yunfei directly divided the fish fillets evenly in four bowls, and then poured them with boiling fish soup. In this way, the fish can be cooked and can be kept strong and will not dissipate.

After scalding the fish, a few boiled soft and radish were added in each bowl, and some chopped green onion and garlic were sprinkled. Finally, stir-fry the oil, stir-fry the peppercorns and pour the oil on the fish fillets, which is the completion.

Looking at the sauerkraut fish with oily aroma in the bowl, except Xi Yunfei, the other three people felt incredibly amazing. The main reason was that this dish was too fragrant and extremely luxurious. The oil that she dared not waste in normal times was used like water by Xi Yunfei.

If it weren't for seeing a large bucket next to the stove, Liu and his elder brother would have already started spraying.

However, at this time, the two looked at each other, and finally could not resist the temptation of Xi Yunfei and the third sister eating, and they also joined the ranks of feasting.

"This fish soup... I've never lived in vain in my life. This fish soup is so delicious." Liu happily ate it and kept saying praise to Xi Yunfei.

The third sister was not worried about speaking at this time because she didn't know how to use chopsticks. The little girl grabbed the meat with her hands and ate it. Her hands were covered with oil and water, and there were pepper and chopped green onions on it. Her mouth was also full of food, as if she was afraid that she would snatch it if she ate too slowly.

Xi Yunfei was very happy when he heard Liu's praise. The feeling of a family gathering together for dinner was really comfortable.

"It would be great if this big eater didn't destroy the atmosphere." Xi Yunfei looked speechlessly at the elder brother who had finished eating fish meat and was picking on the fish bones and fish heads in the clay pot, and called it a big shame.
