Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 44

On the way back, it was still Cheng He who took the lead, holding the lobster bucket in his left hand, the fish basket in his right hand, and his fishing rod on his shoulder, feeling satisfied.

Cheng Xinxin, Napoleon, and Jiang Yutong followed behind.

Jiang Yutong, who wanted to go deep into the mountain village and learn more about the culture of the mountain village, didn't feel that there was any point in following him.

The people in the mountains are hospitable, so she doesn't need to be hypocritical.

It would be a fool not to eat the newly caught moon fish or the newly caught crayfish.

Back in the dilapidated courtyard, she found a stool for herself, sat under the shade of a tree, and waited for dinner.

She looked around familiarly, and when she saw the three little wild boars humming, she ran over in surprise, bent down to look at them, and said repeatedly: "It's really alive! It looks very energetic! Heizi, you This is saving the lives of three wild boars, which is better than building a seven-level pagoda!"

She also imitated the villagers and called Cheng He Heizi.

At first, looking at such a small suckling pig and not following the sow, many people thought it would be impossible to keep them alive.

How did Jiang Yutong know that Cheng He passed the golden halo for the little piggies for three consecutive days, otherwise, how could there be such a big change?

In fact, not only the three little wild boars, but also the Polygonum multiflorum planted not far away. Not only are they alive, but they are also growing very well.That is also the reason for fully absorbing the energy of the golden aperture.It's just that Jiang Yutong didn't pay attention.

Cheng He threw the fish in a basin to raise, and then said to the two women, one big and one small, in the family: "I'll go to the honest house to get two pieces of tofu and some sauerkraut, and I'll be back soon. Be good at home!"

Cheng Xinxin readily agreed.

Cheng He went out, Jiang Yutong stayed where he was.

Why should I be obedient?
The tofu that people in the mountains often eat is ground by themselves.The tofu made of mountain spring water is tender and smooth, not astringent in the mouth, smells fragrant, and is very delicious.

It is more troublesome to make tofu, so it is impossible to beat it every day, but to beat a lot at a time, put it in clear water, and eat slowly for a week.

The spring water in which the tofu is placed is changed every day, and it will not go bad for a week.

Naturally, Cheng Shi also has ready-made tofu at home.

Sauerkraut is a must-have for every family.The pickled cabbage grows very well in winter, and it is very green. People in mountain villages like to use this thing to pickle sauerkraut, which can be eaten for a whole year.

Sometimes I cook some porridge for breakfast, and I don’t want to cook, so I just make some sauerkraut. It’s very refreshing and I send the porridge.In addition to being delicious, the biggest feature is that it is absolutely free of preservatives.

Living in the mountains, it can be said that winter has already been planned for the whole year of the coming year.

Cheng He went to his house and went straight to the back of the kitchen.Cheng Shi saw it, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "What stewed tofu are you eating today? Yo, do you still have sauerkraut?"

Naturally, he would not stop Cheng He, but turned around and went to get beer from the cold water bucket.

There are both tofu and sauerkraut. There must be good dishes today.

This awareness!
Cheng He said with a smile: "I'll just take you two pieces of tofu and a handful of sauerkraut, and you're going to pay for it!"

"Not only is it enough, I have to eat at least twice as much!" Cheng Shi said bluntly.

It doesn't matter to Cheng He, anyway, a large fish and a large plate of crayfish are already prepared for Cheng Shi's weight.

Cheng Shi inquired about Cheng He's fishing harvest today, and heard that he caught a moon fish and a plate of crayfish. When he thought of the delicious stewed fish and spicy and delicious crayfish tonight, his mouth watered It's all out, very excited.

But as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, his whole body seemed to be immobilized again, and he didn't move - he saw the beautiful fairy again.

The beautiful fairy was playing with Cheng Xinxin, smiling the whole time.

The fairy smiled, it was so beautiful!
Cheng Shi became honest all of a sudden, he didn't jump around when he walked, but pretended to be gentle.Unknowingly, he imitated Li Tao's elegant demeanor.

But soon, he felt a little discouraged. He knew that temperament is something that cannot be imitated.Li Tao can be so indifferent by her side, but he can't do it anyway.

Alas, why is there such a big gap between people?

At this moment, Cheng Shi couldn't help thinking, if only I were a rich second generation in a big city, it would be great to be able to accompany such a beautiful fairy, everything is really worth it.

The fairy greeted him with a smile, and Cheng Shi hurriedly agreed.But the fairy didn't look at him again afterwards, which made his heart that had just leaped for joy feel cold again.

But he didn't walk away, and approached Cheng Xinxin casually, "Xinxin, your father came back from fishing for crayfish today, do you want to eat?"

Cheng Xinxin raised her head and replied, "I want to eat!"

Then he lowered his head and continued to comb and braid Napoleon's yellow hair, ignoring him.

Cheng Shi squatted next to the two girls, one big and one small, but couldn't find a topic to talk about, so he scratched his head anxiously.

Cheng He was handling the moon fish, and when he saw Cheng Shi's anxious face, he was so happy that he wanted to laugh.

This blank!

I don't even look at the girl's aura. She has a very good family. She doesn't even look down on people with Li Tao's conditions. Are we mountain people enough for others?Don't think about it too much, so you don't feel uncomfortable.

But he didn't say anything, anyway, this girl is just here for sightseeing, and she will leave after two days when she gets tired of playing, so let Cheng Shi, a poor child who has never seen a beautiful woman, daydream for another two days.

Today's moon fish is eaten four times, he already has a belly draft, cut off the fish head, cut it into pieces, and make fish head tofu soup, this is one;

The belly of the fish is the most tender, and there are only a few main thorns, no small thorns, so just braise it.this is two;

The back of the fish is thick and has small thorns. He cuts off the thick meat on both sides, slices it into very thin slices with a knife, and cooks pickled fish in a while.this is three;

For the remaining fish bones and tails, he plans to make a fish jelly.This is four.

One fish and four meals, including soup, roast, hot and sour, and light to relieve heat, can be said to be very rich.

Seven or eight catties of fish, if you don't cook them separately, it will be difficult to finish.

It takes the longest time to make fish jelly, because only after a long time of cooking can the gelatin in the bones be boiled out, the soup for making fish jelly can be white and thick, and the fish jelly can be springy and gelatinous quality.

To be honest, this may be a dish suitable for women, because it contains colloids, which can beautify the skin.

Cut and wash the fish bones, heat the oil in the pot, sauté the seasonings, add some spicy, then add cold water and boil over low heat.

It is best not to be impatient and use too much heat when making fish jelly, as the bones will be boiled to slag after a while, but the gelatin inside has not been boiled out.

The pot was boiling slowly, and Cheng He would deal with the rest.

The fish head tofu soup is first marinated with cooking wine and ginger for a while to remove the fishy smell, so as not to be difficult to drink when drinking.

In addition, for the part of making sauerkraut fish, after the fish fillets are finished, put them on a plate, smooth them with egg white, and cook them in a pan for a while. The fish fillets made in that way are not to mention how tender they are.

The ingredients for one fish and four meals have been prepared, and the fish jelly in the pot is slowly continuing to boil, Cheng He quickly went to get the crayfish again.

Spicy crayfish once became popular in night markets across the country. Almost many provincial capitals have a street of spicy crayfish. As soon as you pass by, you will be surrounded by the unique smell of spicy crayfish.

Even those who don't want to eat it can't help but stop and look at the super big pots on the street and the crayfish boiling inside.

The oily big red lobster, mixed with the big red pepper, releases a unique aroma, which hits people's taste buds directly.

Under such circumstances, the only one who can hold back and not eat is probably only a saint?
