Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 133: The Small Yard Has Much Joy (3)
Chen Youfa recognized bean sprouts. When his family used to make tofu, the soybeans were not handled well, and occasionally there would be sprouts, but the sprouts from those soybeans were said by the old man to be poisonous, and the color was not as good as Mu Xiang's. Very provocative.

He thought for a while, and said: "Why don't I take some back home at noon and burn it for a try, I have to try it myself before I can recommend it to others, girl, don't you think so?"

Mu Xiang smiled and agreed, "Okay, you can take all of these back, and I'll bring you two more fish. I built a pond at my house and picked up a few fish. When cooking at noon, I asked Aunt Chen to cook the fish. It’s spicy, and if you add tofu and cook it together, it’s sure to be delicious!” She winked at Caiyun, and Caiyun ran back home.

"Oh, I don't want fish. Your family is not rich, so you can keep it for yourself." Chen Youfa would not want her fish.Mu Xiang often buys his tofu, and he knows a lot about Mu Xiang's family. It is not easy for such a young girl to live alone with her younger siblings.

"My family has it. It's best to eat it when it's fresh. If you marinate the salted fish, it won't be fresh," while Muxiang was talking, Caiyun came out with two big carps tied with straw ropes in one hand, and put them on the table. On Chen Youfa's cart.

Chen Youfa was very sorry for being tricked, so he insisted on not wanting their tofu money. In comparison, the price of tofu and fish is not at the same level, so he still made money!
It was agreed to send Ganzi over in the afternoon, business was good today, and the weather was not too bad, so Chen Youfa thought of selling tofu on the way, and if he couldn't sell it, he just took it home.It's cold recently, and his family makes a lot of tofu.

Caiyun brought the tofu home and started cooking with her elder sister.

Eating fish at noon is a must. Mu Xiang thought it would be better to cook a boiled fish. Last time I made it in Fushoulou, but Caiyun and Mulang didn't eat it. Today there are fish at home, and there are enough fish, so make more Boil the fish and let them eat their fill.

In fact, there was another reason, but she automatically ignored it.

He Liancheng soaked in the water for a long time, eating spicy dishes at noon can drive away the cold.

Caiyun washed the rice and put it into the pot, and said to Mu Xiang, "Sister, I'll cook the rice, and then I'll go to cut and wash the fish. Cook the lunch by yourself. I'll fetch water first." There was a fishy smell on it, and it was everywhere. Caiyun was going to fetch some water first, put it in a bucket, and keep it alone before taking care of the fish.

Mu Xiang stopped her, "Wait a minute, don't be so anxious, you don't have to watch the fish at noon, I'll go with you, you can't finish it by yourself until dark."

Caiyun went to the well with the bucket and said without looking back, "It's okay, I'll do it first, you cook the vegetables first."

Other girls didn't dare to kill the fish, but Caiyun was very calm, she first followed the little fish to dissect it.

Before killing the fish, she rubbed the kitchen knife against the edge of the well to sharpen it a little, it would be much faster.

A bluestone slab was placed along the side of the well. It was picked up by the river when Wu Qing was there last time. Besides this piece, there were several smooth and flat pebbles in the yard. A piece of broken pebble was piled up to form a The rectangular table is usually used for drying goods at home, or drying sauces, etc., which is very convenient to use.

Caiyun picked up a broken rag and placed it on the slate to prevent it from slipping when scraping the fish scales.

The fish scales need to be scraped against the growth direction of the scales. Hold the fish head with one hand and use a kitchen knife with the other to quickly scrape the fish scales.

The next step is to place the fish horizontally and cut open the belly of the fish with a kitchen knife.The strength has to be controlled just right, not too heavy or too light.If it is too heavy, it will scratch the internal organs of the fish and make it difficult to clean.It's too light, and it can't be scratched.

If the fish is to be marinated, it must be cut from the back of the fish.Because the meat on the back of the fish is the thickest, if the salt is not applied, the fish will be easily spoiled.

Caiyun was not in a hurry to clean the fish that had been dissected, and put it aside for now, and it would not be too late to wash it after the dissection.

Mu Xiang was thinking about Caiyun cleaning up the fish in the yard alone, so she quickened her cooking.

The coriander in the vegetable garden was just tender, and when she went to find Damei in the morning, Caiyun went to dig some fresh ones.

Mu Xiang thought about making a salad with coriander.

The method is also very simple. After removing the roots of the coriander and cleaning it, cut it into small pieces, add salt and mix well. After about 5 minutes, the water in the coriander will seep out and force the water dry.

Put a spoonful of vegetable oil in the pot, after it boils, and after the oil is wet and cool, put the dried red pepper powder in it.The chili powder is ground by herself with a stone mill, boiled in vegetable oil, it becomes a fragrant chili oil, poured on the coriander, it is fragrant and fragrant.Finally, when you are eating, add a few drops of sesame oil.

In the past, their family wouldn't have dared to think of such a high-end product as sesame oil.But it's different now, not only because of the money, but also because Mu Xiang feels that she can't treat her stomach badly.People live to eat well, sleep well, and feel good.

Some eat when they eat, and some sleep when they sleep, so as not to wake up one day and go back out of nowhere, so this trip will be a big loss.

The coriander grown at home is a pollution-free natural vegetable. Even if it is made with simple and common seasonings, it will be very fragrant and go well with rice.

As for the boiled fish, because she had to do it herself, her knife skills were not as good as those of the chefs in Fushoulou. The fish meat that came out was different in size, and she almost cut her hand.

But fortunately, after working for a long time, I finally sliced ​​out half a pot of fish.

Remove the fish bones from the fish, and don't throw them away. They can be used to boil fish soup and make soup base.

In order to make the fish more tender and smoother.You need to use egg white and salt first, add a little vinegar, stir and wrap evenly on the fish.

Her family has a lot of spices, and it is very convenient to make seasonings. The spices have to be oiled once, so that the fragrance can be well forced out, but when the oil is oiled, the heat should be good, otherwise it will be easy to burn.

Soybean sprouts are available at home, and with a large piece of tofu, they can be used as ingredients for boiled fish.

Because soybean sprouts taste slightly bitter, they must be fried with vegetable oil and dried red pepper until they are half-cooked.

As for the fish meat, after the fish bone soup is ready, only the soup is forced out, and the bone dregs are discarded, then the spices that have been oiled before are put in, and the fire is boiled, so that the fragrance of the spices can fully blend into the fish soup.

The fish fillet is very thin, and it needs only a little cooking before it is ready to eat.
