Chapter 29 Fish Balls
After Ge Hongshan ate two bowls of cold tofu, he felt as if his heart, liver and spleen had been cooled down, which was very comfortable.

Hearing Liu Qingcao's question, he nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, it's cool, it has the effect of cooling down the heat, and it tastes better when eaten with seasoning, but this sugar is too expensive..."

"If the sugar is expensive, then sell it at a different price. Who doesn't know that sugar is more expensive than meat these days. Tell me, Uncle Gerrard."

After Liu Qingcao finished speaking, she paused and added:
"What's more, making sweet tofu is less trouble than spicy one. It's just a spoonful of sugar, and it's convenient to make it when you come to work."

After hearing this, Ge Hongshan's eyes lit up. Yes, he was still thinking about the cost. After Liu Qingcao said this, he found that he was really stuck in the mountain depression, and he was on the edge of a corner.

Liu Qingcao smiled, she didn't want a shrewd person like Ge Hongshan to suddenly be unable to turn around.

After the new dishes are confirmed, the next step is to sign the contract.

"Gerber, as I said before, let's write the paperwork in three or seven minutes."

Ge Hongshan glanced at Liu Qingcao, pursed his lips, and then spoke.

"I'll add [-]% to you. It's the money to buy the recipes. I'll make the decision for you. If there are good things in the future, just think about Uncle Gerrard."

"Then thank you Uncle Ge." Ge Hongshan was so frank, she didn't refuse, as long as the restaurant didn't mess around, she didn't mind doing business here for a long time.

After the contract was signed, Liu Qingcao didn't stay any longer, and left Huibailou by herself. Now she is alone, and she has a lot of things at home, so she has to go back and look at them before she can rest assured.

In the town, she bought everything she needed to buy, and then drove the ox cart back to the village.

The summer sun was so vicious that it made people dizzy. After Liu Qingcao unloaded the things from the car, he drove the cow to the shed. After adding water and fodder, he went to the house to cool off.

Being alone is really boring, not looking for something to do, Liu Qingcao panicked.

No, I took the hemp rope, sat on the chair in the room, and kept weaving the fishing net with both hands.

The fish in the pool in the mountains, she must bring some back to eat.

Sitting on a chair alone and weaving for an hour, Liu Qingcao numbered the whole net. Looking at the large fishing net, Liu Qingcao smiled.

"With this net, you have to catch a lot of fish, braised in soy sauce, steamed, charcoal grilled, fish balls, soaked, just thinking about it makes your mouth water."

After weaving the fishing net, Liu Qingcao put it into the basket, then left the house, went to the yard to wash the pigs and put them into the water.

After washing the pigs in water, she put them into the marinade, turned on the fire, and started to marinate the meat. In another pot, Liu Qingcao also added water, washed the rice in, and started cooking.

After lunch, she rested for half an hour, then hurriedly carried a basket on her back and went to the back mountain with a sickle.

After arriving at the back mountain, Liu Qingcao cut a basket of Guanyin leaves first, and then went to the water pool. She is small and not as strong as adults, so she had to put the fishing net into the water first, and tie her three corners firmly with hemp rope. On the side of the tree trunk, one horn was held in his hand, and he pulled the fishing net from left to right.

Pulling a net to the edge of the pool, Liu Qingcao quickly put the hemp rope of the fishing net in her hand on the branch of the tree, and then pulled hard, the fishing net slowly began to rise, and the fish in the net left the water, scared and panicked The fish began to flap their tails vigorously in the fishing net.

No one came to catch the fish in this pond, batch by batch they have grown up to now, and it is true that there are quite a lot of them. With just this net, she caught fifty or sixty catties.

Liu Qingcao untied one corner of the fishing net and pulled them together. In the end, Liu Qingcao dragged all the fish out of the water.

She selected four grass carp weighing about five catties from it and strung them up with ropes. The rest were tied together with the nets and kept in the pool.

With the basket on his back and the fish in his hands, Liu Qingcao quickly went down the mountain to go home.

As soon as she got home, Liu Qingcao kept the fish in the water, and after a while after washing the Guanyin leaves, she went to deal with the fish.

A lot of Avalokitesvara leaves were picked yesterday, but Ge Hongshan said that the two pots are too few, and the sales will drop sharply after the hot weather, so we have to add half of the amount.

Unable to do so, Liu Qingcao had to make more.

Guanyin leaves were washed and put into the firewood room, and Liu Qingcao began to process the fish in the water basin.

Tonight, she plans to cook one fish, remove the spines from the rest of the fish, grind them into minced meat, make fish balls, and freeze them in ice cubes.

Liu Qingcao quickly picked up four fish, one was marinated with scallion and ginger water to remove the fishy smell, and for the other three fish, Liu Qingcao picked out the fish bones one by one, and then began to beat frantically, beat...

"Oh my god, I'm so tired..." Liu Qingcao busily beat for an hour before she was able to succeed.

Looking at the surimi beaten out of the basin, Liu Qingcao rubbed her two sore arms, sighed, then shook her head, thinking, this fish ball can't be sold in Huibailou, originally I was still thinking about sending fish balls, but now it seems that it is better to change things and sell them for money.

After resting for a while, Liu Qingcao poured the prepared green onion and ginger water into the surimi again. In this era, many spices are medicinal materials and are not used as seasonings. This pepper was also bought by Liu Qingcao at the pharmacy.

The last time starch was used to make braised fish, Liu Qingcao searched for a long time at the shops in the town, but she couldn't find it in the end. In the end, she had to pick up potatoes from the woodshed and made potato starch to make fish. The materials to be used for the pill.

After adding the scallion and ginger water and stirring evenly, Liu Qingcao brought eggs, salt, pepper, and potato starch into the surimi and started a new round of stirring.

Making meatballs is a labor-intensive job. After doing it once, Liu Qingcao doesn't want to do it again. It's really tiring.

Wait until the surimi is evenly stirred, and the chopsticks can draw obvious lines on it, and that's it.

After the fish paste is ready, Liu Qingcao draws water, puts it in the pot, rolls out a ball with a wooden spoon, puts it in the water, and the fish balls float.

"It seems that the technique is not bad." Liu Qingcao praised herself as she looked at the floating fish balls.

One by one, the fish balls were put into the pot, and the floating fish balls filled the pot surface, and there was still more than half of the fish paste in the pot.

Liu Qingcao didn't wait to finish cooking, so she quickly turned on the fire. After 3 minutes of burning, Liu Qingcao picked up the fish balls and put them in a cold water basin. In this way, the fish balls will be more resilient and bouncy to eat.

Once the pot was ready, Liu Qingcao replaced the hot water in the pot with cold water, and continued making meatballs. It didn't take long to finish all the fish paste.

Two large pots of meatballs were soaked in cold water. After soaking for a long time, she brought ice cubes and put them in the pot to continue cooling down.

When the temperature of the fish balls cooled down, Liu Qingcao only left eight balls and put them in the cupboard. She will use the fish balls to make a dish for dinner later.

After Liu Qingcao controlled the water for the remaining fish balls, he put them in the cellar of the firewood house and kept them frozen in a large basin of ice cubes.

After the fish balls were ready, Liu Qingcao went to the river to fetch water to water the vegetable fields while there was still time. There was too little manure in the house, so Liu Qingcao kept the waste water from washing pigs every time, and added some cow dung , The vegetable leaves are retting, and now it is perfect for watering the vegetable field.

After watering the vegetable field, the sun started to set and the temperature was not that high. Liu Qingcao was walking home with a bucket.

On the way, she thought about everything she had come here, from having nothing to now not worrying about eating and drinking, she has never been free for a day, and she is so busy every day.

Being so busy every day, although fulfilling, this body is a bit too much.

"Oh, I have to go to the dental store and buy someone to come back. If it's not possible, I can hire two people."

Liu Qingcao was walking on the road, her eyes were on the road, but her mind was constantly thinking about things.
