Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards!

"Haha, another one won!"

By the lake, Shen Jiayue put on a crucian carp rod and happily fished up small crucian carp and small white strips with Geng Lele.

She originally wanted to catch big fish and revive her position as the chief fisherman. After all, no one has been able to break the record of eight catties and eight liang of carp.

But Shen Guofu said that catching big fish is all about having fun, and the small fish must be really delicious, especially the small white strips, which are very delicious whether fried or fried.

As soon as she heard that it was delicious, the girl put on a small crucian carp rod, used the red worm bait that Lin Xu helped her mix, and transformed into a small fish killer.

Not to mention, there are quite a lot of small fish here, and fishing is very comfortable and gives a sense of accomplishment.

After catching another fish, Shen Jiayue did not throw the pole immediately, but looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Xubao, these little fish haven't grown up yet. Wouldn't it be too cruel for me to fish like this? It's like going to a kindergarten to bully children."

Lin Xu smiled:

"These small fish don't grow big. Even if you don't catch them, you may not survive until next spring."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because the water level in this pond has been declining. The less water there is, the denser the fish are. There is not enough oxygen in the water, so they can only die. If it rots, it may also affect the water quality."

The water in the ginkgo garden pond is brought from the river outside through the irrigation canal in the garden.

In winter, when the water level of the river drops, the water cannot flow through, and the pond will gradually dry up.

It will not flow in again along the irrigation canal until next spring, when the river water level rises. The reason why a pond of dozens of acres was dug when building the ginkgo garden was to store water and prevent the ginkgo from running out of water during drought.

The entrance from the irrigation canal to the pond has been isolated with barbed wire to prevent the fish in the pond from escaping and to prevent predatory fish from entering, which would bring disaster to the fish.

When Shen Jiayue heard this, she put down her psychological burden and continued fishing.

While they were fishing, Chen Yan and Ren Jie strode over from the plank road in the distance, carrying fishing bags and couple-style baseball caps.

Seeing that his cousin was using a small crucian carp rod, Mr. Chen couldn't help but said:

"Is it because you can't catch big fish that you become a kindergarten killer? But that's okay. The water for catching big fish is too deep. Cousin, you can't catch it, so I have to do it."

Shen Jiayue rolled her eyes:

"Everyone caught the fish last time. Who caught the little white stripe? I can't remember clearly. Can you help me recall it, Yan Bao?"

A must-have skill for anglers - trash talk each other before fishing.

Use words to disrupt the opponent's mentality, so as to achieve the goal of empty Taoist friends and not empty poor Taoists.

Chen Yan put down her fishing bag angrily and started to pack her fishing gear. Ren Jie was relatively polite. He first called Shen Guofu uncle, and then said hello to everyone.

"Lin Xu, Yanyan said that each of us had a big silver carp this morning, which weighed nearly twenty kilograms. She was so anxious that she didn't even have a good lunch, so she wanted to come over and catch one... There are so many big silver carp in the water. Fish?”

One big silver carp per person?

Lin Xu was a little surprised.

Didn’t you just catch one yourself this morning?

At the current temperature, the fish are already in a semi-dormant state. Even if you go fishing in the fish pond, you can't guarantee that everyone will have one.

When he was about to say that there was no such thing, Geng Lele said with a smile:

"We were just lucky in the morning. Maybe Brother Xu found a group of silver carp and we also benefited from it. Unfortunately, my fish was a little smaller and not as big as the one caught by Brother Xu."

Lin Xu: "..."

No wonder this girl and the two brothers Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang took a photo each holding a fish.

It turned out to be a fake.

No need to ask, this must be the little mushroom head's idea.

However, this way of lying is quite good. By adjusting the weight, the preconceived impression will no longer appear to be a lie.

If this girl claims to be exactly the same, my aunt will definitely not be fooled.

Lele understands psychology very well.

After Shen Jiayue and Chen Yan bickered for a while, she suddenly remembered that her mother would not allow her to eat too greasy dinner, so she looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"Xubao, mom won't let you eat anything too greasy. How else can you eat these small fishes besides frying them?"

This question is really...

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:

"It can be made into small fish stew, which means boiling all the fish into a paste; it can also be roasted, which makes it taste dry and fragrant; it can also be grilled... There are many ways to eat it."

"But what if I still want to eat fried food?"

"Then use an air fryer. Using the principle of heat exchange, the food can be fried like a frying pan, but without oil."

Shen Jiayue has baked sweet potatoes in an air fryer before, but because it is not as efficient as an oven, she has not tried it again.

Now when I heard that the air fryer can fry small fish, I immediately became excited.

"You can teach me when you go back. If you can, I'll cover all our fried fish from now on!"

Hoho, thanks to technology, kitchen novices like us also have the opportunity to make fried dishes.

In the past, every time Xu Bao wanted to practice frying, he was afraid of being squirted by the hot oil. But now, with the help of the air fryer, he can fry food freely.

Chen Yan came here for the big fish today, so without saying a word she took out her seven-meter-two fishing rod, arranged the line group, threw the fishhook into the water, and imitated Zhang Mazi's He said in a tone:

"When I come to the Ginkgo Garden this time, I only want to do three things: catch big fish, catch big fish, or special... or catch big fish!"

Originally, she wanted to say something special to welcome the occasion, but her uncle and aunt were both here, so she had better not say bad words. If Ren Jie was alone, it would be no problem. After all, I am the aunt.

What happened to the elders who said a few bad words?

If you dare to have an opinion, cry immediately!

Shen Jiayue continued to catch small fish and prepare for the fried food in the evening.

Geng Lele, who wanted to taste Sister Yue's craftsmanship, also got excited. He grabbed a ball of bait in his hand, hung it with a fishhook, and then threw it into the water.

Not long after, Xiao Baitiao was caught easily.

It's so simple that it's a bit boring.

Chen Yan waved to the two of them:

"Children's group, go play in the small pond over there. Don't interfere with our fishing for big fish. The fish are all scared away by you with all the noise..."

Shen Jiayue sneered:

"You catch the fish first and then talk about it, air force guy. No, not the air force guy, but the white stripe guy."

Chen Yan was just about to retort when he saw that his fish float had moved. He stopped talking trash to his cousin and quickly stared at her attentively.

Not long after, the fish float sank.

Before it sank to the bottom, Chen Yan pulled hard.

She thought it was a big fish, so she pushed hard, and a small white strip about two inches long flew out of the water.

Geng Lele smiled:

"It's the first time I've seen someone fishing for small white stripes with a 7-meter-2 fish. It's a lot of fun, right?"

Chen Yan looked depressed:

"This is an oversized fishhook. How did you hook it up?"

After throwing the fish up, I saw that it was caught on the fins and the whole fish was hooked up.

Shen Jiayue came over to take a look:

"Wow, it's really a huge thing. You need to fill a pig-killing pot with water to make fish soup. I'm afraid a hundred people won't be able to finish it... There's something here, Yan Bao."

After saying this, the girl sang to the tune of "Little White Poplar":

"A little white stripe, growing on the fishhook~~~~"

Chen Yan angrily took off the small white strip and threw it into the fish guard.

No matter what, there is no air force.

Lin Xu watched for a while, but did not choose to fish. Instead, he took the shovel and continued digging lotus roots.

Ren Jie took a look, got up and went to help.

Crispy lotus roots can be used as fillings and cold dishes, and noodles can be stewed or used as desserts.

In addition, you can use an air fryer to make lotus root strips in the same way as French fries, which also has a unique flavor.

Lin Xu dug out several roots and looked at Mi Lan while resting in an open space and asked:

"How did you deal with these lotus roots in the past?"

"The workers are allowed to dig up and eat them themselves, or dig some to give to friends, and the remaining roots are used as seeds for the next year... Someone said before that these lotus roots must be completely removed, otherwise the new lotus roots will rot."

In this case, there is no psychological burden to keep digging.

Lin Xu dug up a dozen noodle lotus roots and six or seven crisp lotus roots. The long ones had seven or eight knots and the short ones had three or four knots.

These lotus roots can be stored at home for a long time with the soil in them. Wash them and scrape off the skin when you eat them. They will still taste fresh and sweet.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Xu and Ren Jie packed the dug lotus roots in snakeskin bags and put them in the car. At the same time, they used an aerial camera to take a bird's-eye view of the entire ginkgo garden.

If I really take over later, I won't be blinded.

After finishing all this, it's almost time to go back.

He came to the pond and said to everyone:

"It's almost time to go. We have to prepare dinner when we get back. I don't know what time we will eat today... By the way, let us see everyone's catch."

If they directly asked everyone to put away their poles, this group of fishermen would definitely refuse by saying, "I'll come back with another 100 million poles."

But when it came to showing off the catch, it immediately scratched everyone’s itch. Xie Baomin first said:

“My catch was the simplest, a crocodile weighing about two pounds, and four or five flat crucian carp weighing over half a pound. I should be at the bottom today.”

Although he said he was at the bottom, his face was filled with uncontrollable pride.

This catch is enough to make a delicious meal for my wife and children in the evening. I fry the crucian carp, stew two pieces of crucian carp in soup, and braise the rest for a delicious meal.

Lao Suntou happened to catch a crucian carp at this moment. He put away his pole and said:

"One carp, a bunch of crucian carp, I don't even count them. There are about a dozen of them in total. They are all small fish, and they are a bit hard to handle."

The retired SWAT instructor said he couldn't take it out, so he slipped the fish guard out and deliberately shook it to make the fish inside jump.

It's full of caution.

Shen Guofu sat up from the fishing chair calmly:

"I only caught three carp, each weighing two to three kilograms... I don't have room to put them at home, so I'll just send them to the store when I go back."

Several people were packing their things. Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele had already finished closing the stall and were thinking of ways to take back the few kilograms of small fish in Yuhuzhong.

Only Chen Yan was sitting quietly on the shore, like a sculpture.

It had been an afternoon and the fish hadn't moved at all. She was unwilling to just go back and planned to stay there for a while. She even made plans to drive to buy fish after everyone returned.

I talked so much when I came here, how could I do it without catching a decent one?

In the small pavilion not far away, Dundun, who had already slept in Han Shuzhen's arms, couldn't help but yawn when she saw this situation.

Forget it, stop bullying my aunt.

"Yan Bao, aren't you leaving yet?"

"Wait a minute, I feel like the big fish...hey, my float...haha, the fish is on!"

While Chen Yan was talking, she suddenly noticed that the fish float sank, and she subconsciously clenched the fishing rod with both hands.

When she pulled out, the seven-meter-two fishing rod suddenly bent into a bow.

"The fish is on. The fish is on. My brother-in-law quickly helped me assemble the net. This fish is definitely big, hahahaha... finally the fish came."

Only then did Lin Xu discover that his sister-in-law, who was determined to catch big fish, didn't even open the net.

It really takes the metaphysics of fishing to its extreme.

He assembled the net and stood waiting.

Not long after, a catfish weighing six or seven pounds was pulled to the surface.

Chen Yan backed up the fishing rod and took a few steps back. After reaching the range of the net, Lin Xu hit the catfish's head with a steady move and pulled it to the shore.

Lin Xu mentioned it and said:

"Six pounds and eight taels, not bad, not bad, very powerful."

"Hahahaha, this fish is so big, it can really wait for something giant!"

Mr. Chen smiled so much that his molars were exposed. As soon as he took off the hook, he couldn't wait to take a group photo to tell the good news to the sisters in the group and encourage the fishing guys in the group.

Well, it's just a simple encouragement, nothing else.

After she finished taking the photo, Geng Lele immediately came over:

"Sister Yan, let me use your fish."

After saying that, she held it in her hand and stretched it forward thoughtfully to make the fish appear bigger. After Xie Yuhang finished taking the photo, the girl happily posted the photo to the group.

"I'm happy to win the second one, a big catfish weighing seven pounds and four taels. If you want to eat it, 1 will be deducted!"

Chen Yan, who was sending a message in the group, took a look and realized what was going on among the group of people this morning:

"I'm just telling you, how could there be so many silver carp... After all, I am ranked second in today's fishing rankings?"

After that, she said to Shen Jiayue and Geng Lele:

"Thank you both for using bait to attract the small fish away. Otherwise, if these small fish make a fuss, they may not be able to catch this big catfish weighing 6 pounds or 8 liang."

Hehe, in this situation, I feel so happy when I say these words!

After everyone has packed up, drive back with Mi Lan and the others.

After entering the Fifth Ring Road, Xie Baomin went home directly. Mi Lan and her girlfriends also turned around and headed towards Sanlitun because they had invited friends for dinner.

Lin Xu, Chen Yan, Shen Guofu and others drove to Yingchun Street first, and sent Lao Sun and his wife home. They then put the extra catch in the store, picked up some ingredients for cooking in the evening, and picked up the food. Zeng Xiaoqi here, driving home.

"Xubao Xubao, please teach me how to fry fish in the air fryer. I'll try it."

Lin Xu looked at the small white bars, which were about three or four kilograms, and said:

"I have to clean it up first. Just wait. I'll call you when I'm done."

"Oh...can I air-fry it first and make something else to eat?"

"Okay, you can go downstairs and buy some marinated chicken wings that are connected to the bone and meat. Just adjust the temperature and time according to the instructions and you'll be good to go."

"Sounds so simple."

Shen Jiayue was too lazy to go downstairs, so she directly used her mobile phone to place an order for express delivery from a nearby supermarket, and bought some ingredients such as finished meat skewers and chicken wings.

In the living room, Shen Guofu and Geng Lele were playing games with game controllers.

Zeng Xiaoqi sat on the sofa next to her, talking about the results of today's meeting with little interest:

"The leader of the station said that I can manage the column, but the advertising investment must be handed over. He also said that this is a key project of the station and so on, and asked me to focus on the overall situation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yan said:

"This must be the advertiser that you rejected before and left the relationship with your leadership... This kind of thing is basically unsolvable, because you think that the program you have devoted your heart and soul to is just a golden egg in the eyes of others, and they can't even wait. When the golden rooster is hatched, I want to crack the egg... Little Qiqi, what are you going to do?"

Zeng Xiaoqi shook her head:

"I haven't decided yet. Several leaders asked me to think about it first. Mr. Zhen is quite supportive of me, but he is the channel director and can't control this."

Chen Yan patted her shoulder:

"No matter what decision you make, we will advance and retreat with you. Don't put pressure on yourself. Enjoy the delicious food later, eat and drink enough, and get enough sleep before we talk about work."

"Thank you, Baby Yan."

"Tch, you're welcome. I'm your eldest sister. I won't sit idly by and ignore anything that happens to anyone."

In the kitchen, Lin Xu put several big fish in the pool, and he, Ren Jie, and his assistant Han Shuzhen were cleaning up the small fish. They used scissors to fry the fish's belly and take out the internal organs. That's it.

This kind of small fish does not need to be scaled or gills removed. It can be cooked in the air fryer after marinating it later.

However, the air fryer can fry more than ten strips at a time. With so many people eating today, it is faster to fry in the oil pan. It is also a good time to compare and see the difference between the air fryer and real frying.

Pick up the small fish, wash them once, drain the water, add onions, ginger, peppercorns, salt, soy sauce and pepper to marinate.

After marinating, remove the onions, ginger and pepper, sprinkle some dry starch and mix well.

Then place baking paper under the air fryer and place the fish one by one.

Set the temperature and wait for the delicious food to come out of the pan.

Lin Xu set up a pan, heated it up and put the fish on it one by one. He planned to try the baking method to see how it was different from the air fryer or deep-frying.

Finally, he set up the oil pan and prepared to fry it.

"Lin Xu, how are you going to eat this carp?"

"I'm going to make it into a fish that has passed through the water. I'll clean it up later. The fish that goes through the water have to be killed and cooked now...Brother-in-law, please help me chop up those green millet peppers and fresh peppers. I'll make it later. The spicy one with rattan pepper should be very good.”

"OK."

Ren Jie has never cooked before.

But since I fell in love, I learned from the nanny at home and the canteen chef at work, and now I am considered a qualified house cook.

Well, since you’re going to marry someone who can’t cook, there must be someone in the family who can cook, right?

As soon as he heard that Lin Xu wanted to be a water fish, his interest was aroused:

"Is this difficult? Can I learn it?"

"It's not difficult, it's very simple. As long as you master a few key points, you can cook the fish well... I'll fry the fish later and you can learn it after watching it. It's very simple."

In order to prevent overturning, Lin Xu had just exchanged the excellent method of fish in water.

But after redeeming it, I discovered that there was no need to redeem it with points.

Because the method is really simple...
