Chapter 54: Can you sell the delicious smoked fish?
Li Taohua chuckled, "Guyu, mother didn't ask you to eat your noodles~"
"Ah? Oh." Guyu was confused for a moment, then quickly buried his head in eating noodles again.
Li Taohua ate the noodles very quickly. After finishing her noodles, she changed seats with Lin Dajiang and hugged Lidong.
Lidong enjoyed his meal. He finished the noodles in his small bowl and reached out to grab the grilled fish in the middle of the table.
"Fish, fish, fish~"
Lin Dajiang used chopsticks to break off a piece of meat from the fish's belly, removed the large fish bones, and gave it to Lidong.
Lidong took it, put it to his mouth and started to chew it.
Lin Xiaoman tasted the grilled fish and unexpectedly it tasted so good.
Perhaps it is because the pure natural and pollution-free river fish has delicious meat, and the fish grilled with just a few simple seasonings is fresh and not greasy.
Lin Dajiang felt very happy watching the children eating.
Although I only ate half of the noodles just now, having three meals a day now is something I couldn't even dream of before.
Even if I had eaten black flour porridge before, I would only be about 50% full, and it didn't have any oil or water, and I would feel very hungry in the middle of the night.
"Dad, you eat too!" Lin Xiaoman noticed that Lin Dajiang hadn't touched his chopsticks.
"Eat Xiaoman, Dad is full."
Lin Xiaoman knew that Lin Dajiang was used to using white lies to fool children, just like the fact that he didn't like meat buns, it was a false proposition.
Lin Xiaoman said nothing, picked up a large piece of grilled fish and gave it to Lin Dajiang, "Dad, eat quickly."
Lin Dajiang didn't want to eat it, so Li Taohua picked up a small piece. Although Lin Jingzhe was greedy, he only ate the fish tail and left the good meat.
Lin Xiaoman picked up a large piece of fish back meat for Li Taohua, "Mom, you eat too."
"Brother, you eat too." Lin Xiaoman pinched off the fish meat and the fish head and gave it to Lin Jingzhe. "The fish head is for you. The more you eat, the smarter you will be."
After Lin Xiaoman took three bites, more than half of the fish was gone.
Lin Dajiang's eyes were a little sore. Xiaoman and Jingzhe have grown up.
When he married Taohua, he felt like he was still a child.
It seems like I have become an adult while still being at the age where I love playing the most.
The twins made him feel fatherly love for the first time.
The child's repeated waking up at night tortured him a lot, but after two months, he gradually became adept at it.
As the children grow up, he is increasingly looking forward to the twins crawling, walking, and talking for the first time...
The good times didn't last long, as he discovered that Xiaoman couldn't speak and his movements were slower than those of other children.
He is different from Taohua. Taohua's pity for Xiaoman is shown on her face, but he pretends not to care and always treats Xiaoman as a normal person.
It seems that if I ignore it for a while, I won't feel so sad anymore.
I originally thought that the days would just pass by one by one, whether good or bad.
Unexpectedly, Xiaoman fell into the water and was rescued. After having a fever all over his body, he returned to normal.
He and Taohua cried with joy. On the day Xiaoman woke up and called for his parents, he and Taohua waited for Lidong to fall asleep and put him at the foot of the bed. They hugged each other and cried all night.
The next day, he resumed his idle behavior, except that every time he ran away, he went to the mountains to find food.
His Xiaoman has just been ill and needs to eat some meat.
Xiaoman seemed to be particularly lucky. He and Jingzhe went up the mountain and caught a nest of rabbits, an astonishing number of them.
This kid Jingzhe is not so lucky.
Later, Jingzhe caught a pigeon, a sparrow and some bird eggs. His mother, who had been biased all her life, gave the pigeon and half a bag of grain to his third brother.
Even my second brother's wife, who usually can't say a word, has something to say.
Later, he asked someone to go to his third brother's father-in-law's house. When he was carrying his third brother's wife out, he pretended to mention unintentionally that the Lin family had meat in the evening.
Sure enough, the third brother's wife rushed back to the village anxiously, and the conflict became more intense.
It is better to bring conflicts out, because only by bringing them out can there be a chance to separate the family.
It’s a pity that he is the eldest son, and he cannot bring up the matter of dividing the family property, otherwise he would be criticized by everyone in the village.
It doesn't matter if he is just an asshole, but the children are still young and cannot bear the stigma.
Later, he contrived another trick and called his younger sister back to muddy the waters.
Although they did not get much on the day of division, they still had to give one tael of silver and one stone of rice every year to support their parents in their old age.
He knew clearly that his mother wanted this pension money to deliberately make things difficult for him and his second son.
But he wanted to split the family business so badly. If he didn't, his children would never have enough to eat.
"Xiaoman, Dad is really..." Before he could finish his words, he heard Xiaoman's clear voice emitting a giggle.
She looked at him with a sharp gaze, "Dad, you still say you don't like meat buns? Big buns that are fragrant, soft and juicy, who wouldn't like them? It's not good for Dad to lie all the time."
Lin Dajiang smiled and shook his head. It was great that his Xiaoman could speak better than anyone else now.
Lin Dajiang took a bite of the fish that Xiaoman had picked up and found it especially delicious.
Lin Xiaoman also picked out the fish meat from Xiao Guyu's belly without any bones.
She also picked out the fish meat from the belly of little Lidong in his mother's arms, and little Lidong ate with his mouth full of oil.
"Sister, why don't you eat?" Guyu Yuanyuan's eyes rolled around, "Sister, please eat more!"
"I'm full, not hungry." Lin Xiaoman responded with a smile.
She hasn’t finished eating the rice balls she made in her space!
After dinner, the family washed up early and went to bed early.
Farmers usually don’t light oil lamps unless there is something important.
Oil lamps are expensive these days.
I was cooking long-bearded worms in the second half of the night, and the oil lamp at home was almost used up.
As soon as Lin Xiaoman touched the bed, he slipped into the space.
The first thing to do when entering the space is to exchange all the wild vegetables and weeds that you have picked.
Bang, bang, the points kept dropping, and finally got stuck at ninety-eight and couldn't move.
She tried several times to identify the remaining weeds but couldn't.
She only needs two points to redeem the back garden of the villa!
How come there are two of them stuck? She was stuck in the middle and felt uncomfortable all over.
Lin Xiaoman lay on the soft sofa for a while, comforting her disappointed and sad soul, and jumped up immediately the next second.
She is no longer a food blogger who can support herself by doing nothing.
She is now Lin Xiaoman, the daughter of Lin Dajiang, a poor peasant in Shanglin Village.
After adjusting her mood, Lin Xiaoman went into the kitchen, cleaned the grass carp, and put it in a basin for later use.
Lin Xiaoman decided to make the sauce for the smoked fish first. She poured half a pot of water into the pot, added two spoons of dark soy sauce, five spoons of light soy sauce, half a bowl of rock sugar, two spoons of cooking wine, five star anises, a piece of cinnamon, and five bay leaves. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for half an hour.
After half an hour, turn off the heat and pour the sauce in the pot into a large bowl.
The temperature in the space was constant, so she could only put the large bowl in the refrigerator and wait for it to cool down.
I don’t know if the space refrigerator is durable?
It won't go awry if I put it in while it's hot, right?
Lin Xiaoman cut some ginger and green onion segments, put them in a bowl, added half a bowl of cooking wine and a spoonful of salt, stirred well, and marinated the fish for half an hour.
During this time, she took out the ready-made crispy pork and chicken nuggets from the refrigerator, brushed them with oil, and fried them in the air fryer.
It took almost half an hour for the crispy pork and chicken nuggets to be ready.
She tasted a few pieces. It was a familiar taste, but she felt a different mood while eating it.
To keep the space warm, she planned to find a chance to go to town the next day or the day after tomorrow to buy some lean meat to fry crispy pork, and take the opportunity to mix the crispy pork in the space into it.
After making the crispy pork, Lin Xiaoman took out a large bowl of sauce from the refrigerator, which was indeed cold.
Everything was ready, and she started frying the fish fillets.
When the chopsticks were put into the oil pan and small bubbles began to appear, Lin Xiaoman put in the fish pieces.
Stab, stab~
The fish pieces make a "cheerful" sound when put into the pan.
The fish meat is easy to fall apart, so do not turn it over immediately after putting it into the pan.
Lin Xiaoman waited for almost two minutes before turning the fish over.
It took more than half an hour to fry all the pieces of a big grass carp.
Fry the fried fish pieces on both sides for one minute each. Take them out and put them into the prepared sauce while they are still hot to soak them in the flavor.
Before the next pot of fish fillets is served, remove the fish fillets from the sauce.
After the fish pieces are taken out, take the newly fried fish pieces out of the oil pan and soak them in the sauce.
Repeat this process until all the fish pieces are cooked.
Although I was tired, I felt very happy the moment I finished making the delicious food.
In particular, when I thought of Xiao Guyu's sparkling eyes tomorrow and Lin Jingzhe's wide-open eyes, the little remaining fatigue disappeared.
Lin Xiaoman took a piece and tasted it. The fish skin was very crispy. When he broke it open, he saw that the fish meat was still full of juice...
......
After everything was packed up, Lin Xiaoman slept on the big bed in the space for a night.
Without her cell phone, she fell asleep quickly.
The next day, Lin Jingzhe woke up with a somersault.
As the redemption points increased, she felt that her hearing in the space was getting better and better, and she could hear everything happening outside clearly in the space.
She flashed out of the space, walked out of the room, and saw Lin Jingzhe punching randomly.
No matter what era, as long as he is a boy, he may have a martial arts dream.
Lin Xiaoman walked to the kitchen reluctantly, took out the smoked fish from the space, put it into the large bowl with a notch, and then threw the bowl in the space into the space as if nothing had happened.
"Xiao Man, what smells so good?"
Lin Xiaoman had just finished all this when Lin Jingzhe poked his head into the kitchen.
Dog nose?
Lin Xiaoman complained secretly.
Fortunately, she acted quickly and threw the modern, exquisite and beautiful bowl into the space in time.
Lin Xiaoman turned around and said with a smile: "Smoked fish."
Lin Jingzhe was surprised: "When did you do it?"
Lin Xiaoman lied without thinking, and replied seriously: "When you were asleep! Brother, don't you want to try a piece?"
Lin Jingzhe couldn't resist the temptation and picked the smallest piece and put it in his mouth.
"Woo—— ...
"What's wrong with Jingzhe's mouth? Why is he speaking with a lisp?" Lin Dajiang walked in, stretching lazily, and slapped Lin Jingzhe on the back.
Lin Jingzhe ignored him and said, "Such delicious smoked fish, Xiaoman, can you sell it?"
