According to Liu Ye's words, Kong first marinated the incense for a stick of time, and then started cooking.
Today I made crucian carp stewed with tofu. The white and tender fish soup is mixed with tofu, and it smells fresh and delicious.
When Mrs. Yang saw Liu Ye's eyes looking at Cai, she thought about it and said, "Ye'er must be hungry! I'll scoop you a bowl of fish soup and you drink it first."
"No, aunt, we can eat together later!"
"What are you afraid of? My family is not particular about it. Besides, everyone eats this stewed tofu every day and has long been tired of it!" As he said this, he took the bowl and scooped out a bowl for Liu Ye.
Liu Ye is also welcome. Although the fish soup is a bit fishy, the tofu is tender and delicious. With only salt, Kong's ability to make such a meal is pretty good!
She thought for a while and asked, "Auntie, is there any wine at home?"
"Yes, I'll get it."
Liuye asked Mrs. Kong, "Sister-in-law, please put some of the seasonings I gave you in the pot."
Kong glanced at Liu Ye, opened the small porcelain bottle, poured some, and looked at Liu Ye.
"Sister-in-law, stir it up and give it a try!"
Kong turned over the vegetables and tasted the fish soup. He found that the fishy smell was less and the taste was more delicious.
"Ye'er, it seems to taste a lot better!"
Liu Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, please put some more sugar and have a taste."
Kong nodded, found some sugar and put it in, tasted it, put a little bit in it, thought about it, and put in some seasonings.
At this time, the eldest aunt had already brought the wine. Kong already understood Liu Ye's intention, so she poured some in, tasted it, poured some more in, and then said in surprise: "Ye'er, there is no fishy smell anymore."
, and it tastes good too.”
Liu Ye said with a smile: "My eldest cousin really has a talent for cooking. If it is stewed for a while, the tofu will be more flavorful, and it will only taste better."
Kong nodded and added another handful of firewood!
"Auntie, my cousin is very talented in cooking. There are a lot of people coming and going at the dock in the town. Why don't you let your cousin open a shop in the town?"
Yang and Kong looked at each other, and Yang stammered: "This...will anyone buy this?"
After all, as far as their family is concerned, they have long been tired of eating fish every day!
"Auntie will know after she tries my cousin's craftsmanship soon!" Liu Ye said with a smile.
Yang looked at the willow leaves, looked at Kong who was a little nervous, sat back and started to light the fire.
After a while, the fragrance of fish mixed with the fragrance of tofu floated out of the pot.
Mrs. Yang had long been tired of stewed tofu, but today, when she asked about the smell of fish, she became a little greedy, especially when the lid of the pot was opened, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
"Why does today's dish smell so fragrant?" Yang said, taking a bowl and scooping out two pieces of tofu and fish soup.
I found that the fishy smell of the fish was completely gone, and the tofu was tender and tasty, very delicious.
"Auntie, put some green onions in here!" As she said that, she put some green onions in Yang's bowl.
After adding the green onion, the fish tastes even more delicious.
Yang took a sip, then another sip, and finished the fish soup and tofu in his last breath, saying, "Today's tofu is so delicious!"
"Auntie now thinks that cousin-in-law can sell it in the town!" Liu Ye said with a smile.
"Is it really possible?" Yang said uncertainly.
"Why not? In addition to fish soup tofu, you can also sell fish soup noodles. The cost is low and it is an exclusive business. Even if others want to imitate, they don't have the craftsmanship of my cousin."
Yang was obviously moved and said, "Let me think about it again!"
Kong naturally saw her mother-in-law's hesitation, and she hoped that her mother-in-law and father-in-law would agree. Although her father-in-law was now the village chief, he was so prosperous on the surface that he couldn't finish the village affairs every day. Now he still works for the whole village all day long.
If you are worried, you might as well go out!
"Auntie, let's start eating! I'll teach my cousin how to fry fish."
"Fried fish?" Yang glanced at his eldest daughter-in-law and asked confused.
Kong shook his head and said he didn't understand.
However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not ask any further questions. Instead, they scooped out the rice, poured out the vegetables, repainted the pot, and put it on the fire.
When Mrs. Yang saw Liu Ye pouring the entire jar of oil into the pot, she was so distressed that she almost bled, and said, "Ye'er, why are you pouring so much oil!"
"Auntie will know about it soon!" Liu Ye said with a smile, completely ignoring Yang's distressed face which was wrinkled together!
When the oil is 50% hot, let Kong put in the fish and fry until golden brown on both sides, then take it out.
Willow Leaf tasted it and found that it tasted good, but was soft and not as crispy as what she had eaten before.
Willow Ye tried hard to think back, is there any skill in frying fish?
Kong looked worriedly at Liu Ye and frowned. She was really afraid that she was not cooking well or that the fish was not yet cooked, so she said, "Ye'er, does it taste wrong?"
"It tastes pretty good, but..."
"It's not cooked yet? If it's not cooked, just put it in and fry it for a while!"
When Yang said this, Liu Ye's eyes couldn't help but light up. Indeed, the dried fish they bought back were fried, but after returning, they were oiled again to make them fragrant and crispy.
He said: "Sister-in-law, fry all the fish first, and then put it in and fry it again."
When Yang heard this, he felt dizzy. How much oil would be used?
Forget it, forget it, Ye'er brought this oil anyway.
Seeing that her mother-in-law had no objection, Mrs. Kong had no choice but to follow Liu Ye's advice and blow it up again.
Willow Leaf tasted it and realized that it was right. It was fragrant and crispy, and even the bones could be eaten.
He took one and gave it to Mrs. Yang and said, "Auntie, please try it!"
Yang looked at the fish in front of her distressedly, then gritted her teeth and took it.
After wasting so much of her oil, she wanted to see how delicious it was!
Yang knew that crucian carp had many thorns, but she didn't remove the thorns when she saw the willow leaves, so she just ate it like this. She took a big bite and found that the bones could even be eaten, and it was really delicious.
After eating it quickly, he took another one and said, "Ye'er, this fish is delicious, but it consumes too much fuel!"
"Auntie, you don't like wasting gas, but restaurants are not afraid! As long as it's delicious, people will buy it."
"Ye'er, do you want to sell the fish to restaurants in the town?" Kong was the first to ask.
Liu Ye nodded, "Not only will it be sold to the town, but also to the county. We will marinate the fish at home first, and then fry it so that it will not rot easily and can be preserved, and then send it to the town or county."
Yang was overjoyed after hearing this. There were only so many restaurants in the town, let alone the county. If the restaurants were willing to sell their fried fish, then they would not have to worry about selling the fish at home. Maybe the fish in the village would not be sold either.
Worry about selling!
"Ye'er, do you think this can solve Hejiacun's current predicament?"
"The current predicament may be able to be solved, but I think my uncle should restrict the villagers from overfishing. Otherwise, all the small fish will be gone, and there will be no big fish!"
She saw that her uncle's family even caught crucian carp cubs that were six to seven centimeters long, but there were not many big fish.
Yang said with a sad face: "Oh, there weren't many big fish last year, and today they are even rarer!"
Liu Ye frowned after hearing this. She felt that it was necessary for the young husband to have a good talk with his uncle!
