Chapter 464 The Fun of Doing It Yourself

Chaoci Baidi among the colorful clouds, thousands of miles of rivers and tombs return in one day, the sound of apes on both sides of the bank can't stop, the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains.

We went down the river in a small boat, and within a quarter of an hour, we all returned to the underground river village where we started.

When we got to the pier, Uncle Wang hurriedly asked everyone to get off the boat, then tied the boat to the pier, and took everyone to go home.

"Xiaoyi, do you want to play in the village for a while, or start cooking now?" Uncle Wang asked Zhang Yi after entering the village.

After discussing it with everyone, we will cook and eat first, and then go home directly after eating.

So Uncle Wang took everyone to the kitchen at home. He said it was a kitchen, but it was actually a shed made of asbestos tiles. There were three clean and tidy stoves underneath. No small effort has been made to the hygiene of the home.

"The kitchen is here. There are vegetables on the closet and in the freezer. You can take whatever you want to eat. Of course, you can go to the backyard to pick it yourself." Uncle Wang said to everyone with a smile.

"Okay, let's take a look first!" Zhang Feng decided without hesitation, and began to check all kinds of vegetables and meat in the kitchen.

Isn't it said that the erbeard fish is a specialty of the village?Zhang Feng searched the entire kitchen, even the water tank, but found no trace of it.

"Uncle Wang, are there no Erbeard fish here?"

"Hehe, yes, why not, but not here, in the pool outside, everyone follow me." Uncle Wang led everyone to the door.

It turned out that Uncle Wang dug a small pool in his yard. The pool was square, about two meters long and less than one meter wide. There were more than a dozen Erbeard fish swimming around in the pool, and the largest one was half as long. It is more than one meter long, and it is estimated to be about seven or eight catties.

"Which one do you want? I'll catch it for you." Uncle Wang fetched the net from the side and asked Zhang Feng and the others with a smile.

"Just this one, the one that weighs more than one catty will do!" Zhang Feng pointed to a fish that was [-] to [-] centimeters long and said,

The fish in the pool is indeed a wild erbeard fish, which is often called catfish.

This fish is a nocturnal animal and hides quietly in pits at the bottom of the river or under the roots of trees during the day.Catfish are bottom aggressive fish and some even attack mice.

However, catfish are afraid of light, and like to live in crevices, deep pits, soil or stone caves at the bottom of tree roots, and waters with slow flow, so it is not easy to catch them with fishing nets.

Every spring, catfish come out to move and look for food.It does not eat after winter, and spends the winter lurking in deep water areas or caves. If there is nothing to invade, it generally does not swim.Catfish have small eyes, weak eyesight, and come out at night. They rely entirely on their sense of smell and two pairs of tentacles to hunt.

So, now is the perfect season to catch catfish.

……

After confirming the catfish that Zhang Feng and the others needed, Uncle Wang made a move immediately. The scooping net in his hand rushed into the water like lightning.

Before everyone could react, the catfish had already been caught in the net. Zhang Feng and the others were deeply moved by the fact that a person in his fifties still has such agility.

"I'll leave Zhang Yi's cooking to you. Xiaoyue Xiaolin, you guys go to the backyard to have a look, pick some vegetables, and clean them. I'll kill the fish and prepare to cook." Zhang Feng grabbed the catfish and smiled. Then he told his brothers and sisters.

"Understood brother!!" Seeing that it was getting late, everyone split up, busy with their own tasks.

As the saying goes, you can have enough food and clothing by yourself, and you can only experience this kind of fun if you participate in it yourself, so everyone started to act with a smile, preparing to cook a delicious lunch by themselves.

Zhang Feng took a kitchen knife from the kitchen, slapped the catfish to death twice, then cut open its abdomen with a knife, and threw away all the internal organs. Although there were still many good things inside, Zhang Feng didn't want to waste the effort. Such a large fish is enough for everyone to eat.

The catfish was processed in two or three strokes. Zhang Feng went into the kitchen again and found two pieces of ginger and a handful of red millet peppers. The fish fried with this kind of peppers was strong enough, spicy and delicious. People are salivating.

"Brother, is there anything I can do for you?" Zhang Yi walked back quickly, and it seemed that the rice had been cooked in the rice cooker.

"It's just right, you help me wash the ginger."

"Okay, it'll be ready soon." Zhang Yi picked up the ginger and walked towards the sink by the kitchen.

The two little girls came back with two baskets of vegetables in a short while.

Seeing the two baby sisters picking so many vegetables, Zhang Feng smiled wryly and shook his head, can the four of us eat and play?

"Xiaoyue, wash the garlic sprouts, shallots and parsley first."

"Understood bro!"

In just one cup of tea, the two of them cleaned up all the condiments.

Zhang Feng didn't delay, he carried the hatchet, the blade was as bright as silver, and he cut the garlic, shallots and coriander in two or three clicks, and put them in a small bowl, ready to be cooked at any time.

"Uncle Wang, give me half a catty of pork belly." Seeing that his sister would come after picking some cabbage, Zhang Feng was going to make a cabbage dumpling soup.

Ten yuan for half a catty of pork.

Although the various ingredients in Uncle Wang's house are slightly more expensive than those on the market, Zhang Feng can understand, after all, they also want to make money, right?
Moreover, all the ingredients here are grown by their own family, and they are safe to eat. Even the pork they just bought is a local big fat pig, which not only does not contain clenbuterol, but also has a more fragrant meat flavor.

咵 咵 咵 咵...

There was a flash of swords and swords on the cutting board. Everyone has eaten minced meat, but only those who cook often know that the minced meat chopped by oneself is somehow better than the machine.

After chopping the minced meat, put it all into a large bowl, then add minced shallots, a little salt, and stir well. You can make a cabbage dumpling soup later on. It must be very delicious when you think about it.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Feng asked his cousin to help light the fire, and Zhang Feng started to fry the first dish, braised erhuzi fish in soy sauce.

"Wow! It smells so good!!"

Pour millet pepper and other condiments into the hot oil pan, there was a sudden swishing sound, and a burst of thick smoke was raised. With the constant stir-frying, the condiments in the pot finally exuded a strong fragrance , the little greedy cat watching beside him couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Stay away, the oil will jump on your clothes later."

"Hee hee, no way!" The little girl stuck out her tongue knowing that her elder brother was joking with her.

Zhang Feng's cooking speed is really fast, and within an hour, the four delicious dishes are finished and the work is over.

A spicy braised catfish, a delicious cabbage dumpling soup, a lighter hot and sour potato shreds, and finally a cold lettuce.

Although the four dishes are not many, they are all very sufficient, and they are extremely delicious. After playing for a whole morning, everyone is hungry. Everyone cooks, fills up the rice, and starts to eat it. The food is extremely sweet .
