"Fish? There should be no fish for sale in the town at this time." Lu Ming reminded her.
There are not many people selling fish in this era, because they don’t know how to cook it, so the fish tastes earthy. In her previous life, she had two classmates who came to college at the beach and never ate river fish.
But because it is meat, the price is much cheaper than pork, so some people occasionally buy it and eat it.
He Yunxi also knew that he couldn't buy fish in the town now, so he thought for a while, "I remember there should be fish in the creek behind the mountain, right? Let's go catch it."
"Catch, catch fish?"
"Yeah. Go grab two and eat them tonight."
She always had the temperament to do what she said. She took out a fork from the utility room, threw it into the backpack and carried it away.
Lu Ming was a little speechless. Why does this sister-in-law say that wind is like rain now?
Is it so easy to catch fish?
Moreover, the stream is on the other side of April Mountain, and beyond it is March Mountain where wild beasts often haunt. What if something happens?
"Sister-in-law, please wait, I'll go with you." He asked the younger ones to look at the house, and he quickly chased after them.
He Yunxi and Lu Ming climbed over two mountains and saw the creek at the foot of the mountains.
"Sister-in-law, there are often wild animals in the March Mountains over there, so we'll do it here," Lu Ming said.
"Can."
He Yunxi took out his fork and walked around the creek. He walked around but didn't see any fish.
Lu Yan, carrying a small roe deer on his shoulders, came down from the opposite mountain and saw two people wandering by the stream.
"What are you doing here?"
Lu Ming heard Lu Yan's voice and said, "Sister-in-law wants to eat fish and wants to catch fish."
Lu Yan saw He Yunxi holding the hunting fork and throwing the little roe deer into the basket on his back, and asked, "Did you catch it?"
"No." He Yunxi spread his hands, "I didn't see a single fish."
She was confident in her skills, but there were no fish in the stream, so she was a skilled woman who could not make a meal without rice.
"The fish are not here, there is a pool above, and the fish are there."
"Then let's go there and catch him."
As she said this, she went to carry the basket, but Lu Yan took it and carried it away.
He Yunxi smiled and followed.
He Yunxi thought it was a small pool, but he didn't expect it to be a big pool. The water was very deep at first glance.
There were fish swimming under the water, but they were swimming relatively deep. With her strength, it was impossible to hit the fish with her spear.
She said with some disappointment: "The water is so deep, it will be difficult to catch fish unless you have a fishing net."
It's getting late now, and it will definitely be dark if we go back to get the fishing nets.
Looks like I won’t be able to eat the fish head with chopped pepper tonight.
Lu Yan glanced at her: "Do you want a big one or a small one?"
"The big one. The big one is delicious when you make fish head with chopped pepper. You can also have the small one. I'll make soup for my mother to drink." He Yunxi said.
Lu Yan walked to the water pool and stared at the water pool.
He Yunxi was a little curious, could he hit a fish in such deep water?
Just as he finished thinking about it, he saw him thrust his fork into the water hard. When he took it out, there was a big fish on it.
He Yunxi was very surprised. The fish was swimming very low just now, and the resistance of the water was so great. Lu Yan could still thrust the fork in. This is not the strength that ordinary people can have!
"Is this okay?" Lu Yan asked.
He Yunxi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, okay. But there are too many of us and there is not enough food. Can you catch two more?"
Lu Yan said nothing and speared two more big fish.
Three large carps weighing four to five kilograms are quite enough to eat.
Then Lu Yan forked a few more crucian carp.
The three of them packed up and went home. The little guys looked at the three big fish and were not as excited as seeing the meat.
"Sister-in-law, the fish doesn't taste good, it just smells fishy." Lu Yunqing said.
"Don't you believe my sister-in-law?" He Yunxi scratched her nose, "When my sister-in-law cooks it, don't eat it!"
Lu Yunqing thought about how delicious the stinky pig intestines she had made before, and she hesitated again. In the end, she chose to believe He Yunxi.
"The pig offal made by my sister-in-law is delicious, and this one will definitely be delicious too!" After saying that, she nodded, indicating that she really believed her.
He Yunxi was amused by her and went to deal with the three fish.
Three big heads are used to make minced pepper fish heads, three fish, one is used to make sweet and sour fish, and two are used to make boiled fish.
After these few days of eating chili peppers, everyone in the Lu family now eats spicy food. Lu Yunqing and Lu Qi are relatively young, so eating sweet and sour fish is just right.
There is no vinegar, but He Yunxi found a fruit in the mountains that tastes a bit like lemon. The taste is similar to adding vinegar, so it can be used to make sweet and sour fish.
The three fish heads are marinated, stir-fry the chopped peppers, put them on the fish heads, and steam them in a pot.
Then she cooked boiled fish and used bean paste. The spicy taste made Lu Yunjiao sneeze.
Finally, make the sweet and sour fish. First, roll the marinated fish in egg liquid, then dip it in pea flour, then fry it in oil, and finally stir-fry the salt, sugar and juice pea flour to make the seasoning.
, poured onto the charred and crispy fish.
The simple version of sweet and sour fish is ready.
"Wow, sister-in-law, it smells so good!" Lu Yunqing couldn't help but exclaimed as soon as she entered the restaurant.
Others also sniffed it vigorously, almost feeling greedy in their stomachs due to the scent.
He Yunxi carried Lu Yunqing to a stool and sat down. He gave her a piece of sweet and sour fish and said, "The other two kinds of fish are a bit spicy. If you can't eat it, just eat this one."
Lu Yunqing smelled the aroma of the fish and took a bite. The crispy, sour and sweet taste made her little eyes light up.
"The fish cooked by my sister-in-law is really not fishy!" she said happily.
Lu Ming and the others also had fish. Whether it was boiled fish or sweet and sour fish, they really couldn't taste the earthy smell.
"I didn't know that fish could be so delicious!" Lu Yan sighed.
Before Hong Bo's death, his family was relatively wealthy. He often ate meat and fish twice, but the earthy smell successfully dissuaded him. Now he realizes that it's not that the river fish is not delicious, but that the cooking method is wrong.
Three portions of fish completely changed the Lu family's view of fish.
After dinner, Lu Ming burped: "Sister-in-law, this boiled fish is delicious. Can we catch it tomorrow?"
"There will be crucian carp tomorrow. Let's make crucian carp soup and drink it." He Yunxi said.
This time no one said that the crucian carp soup tasted bad. They were all waiting for He Yunxi to make the crucian carp soup tomorrow.
"Second brother, you go to the county town to get medicine for your mother tomorrow, and buy some tofu when you come back." He Yunxi ordered.
Crucian carp soup and tofu are perfect partners. How can you stew crucian carp soup without it?
"Tofu? What is that?" Lu Ming asked doubtfully.
He Yunxi paused: "Is there no tofu in the county?"
She described tofu, and both Lu Yan and Lu Ming shook their heads.
There was no tofu in the original person's memory, and she thought it was because there was no tofu in the town. Now it seems that there is no tofu in this era.
Thinking of this, her eyes couldn't help but light up.
