The Blessed Princess
Chapter 106 The Fish Burn
Chu Lan, Lu Yuhong, and Xie Jue were on opposite boats, and Xie Ying was on this side of the boat. The four of them each took their place, took the fishing line, took the bait, and started fishing.
What Wei Ruo needed came a while later, but it didn't matter, because the four fishermen didn't harvest so quickly.
After a while, joran Chu Lan began to move.
After a few pulls, caught a black fish that weighs about two catties, although not as good as mandarin fish, but still a fish with good meat quality, very suitable for baking.
Chu Lan asked his men to take the fish to Wei Ruo's boat.
After getting the fish, Xiumei brought the fish to the stern of the boat so that the smell of fish handling did not affect the interest of some people, then handled very neatly.
The removal of scales, the removal of entrails, and the removal of gills, the movement is smooth and smooth, and after a while, the newly live and kicking fish becomes white and clean.
Then cut the flower knife in the belly of the fish and sprinkle the coarse salt for salting.
As Xiumei was handling the fish, the servants of the Xie family also drove the boat to deliver the purchased items to Wei Ruo.
Garlic, leeks, lettuce, bean sprouts, peanut shells, these are ingredients that can be purchased today.
There was also a small iron pot.
To speed up the pace, Wei Ruo and Xiumei worked together on the division of labor, with Xiumei in charge of handling ingredients and Wei Ruo in charge of cooking.
Wei Ruo rarely cooked by himself, and usually let Xiumei come when he had enough time.
Wei Ruo moved the two stoves and shelves used to boil water to the bow of the ship, lit a fire, and installed iron racks.
While Wei Ruo and Xiumei were making preparations, Xie Jue was also harvesting, a goldfish weighing more than four catties.
Seeing that the two brothers had obtained so much, Lu Yuhong was a little anxious, although the other two did not plan to compete, Lu Yuhong had the desire to win in his heart.
Xie Ying was also anxious, she swore that she would catch a big fish for Wei Ruo to roast, but there was still no movement until now, furious!
Xie Ying subconsciously glanced at the opposite Lu Yuhong, thinking that she could not be the last, and had to catch a big fish faster than Master Lu.
However, God's wish was not fulfilled, Xie Ying's fishing rod had not moved, Lu Yuhong's fishing rod had been plucked first.
He pulls the fishing rod full of hope, but finds that it is a pitiful little crucian goldfish.
Although crucian carp is delicious, it is not suitable for grilled fish because of its large duration and small size.
Lu Yuhong was slightly disappointed, this time Xie Ying's shocked voice came from across the boat.
"Ruoruo, I have a fish hook, help me pull it fast! Very strong!" Xie Ying's voice was excited.
Wei Ruo hurriedly came forward to help Xie Ying hold the fishing line to avoid being pulled by the fish.
“What should I do, Ruoruo, I can't pull it!” Xie Ying was a little anxious.
"Don't worry, let's loosen up and tighten for a while, walk for a while, and pull up when there's no strength," Wei Ruo said calmly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Wei Ruo and Xie Ying cooperated, not rushing to pull the fish, but adopting the loosening and tightening method that Wei Ruo said, pulling back and forth.
The three people on the opposite boat originally wanted to send someone to help, but it turned out that the two girls were orderly and calm.
Xie Jue's hanging heart sank, if the fish escaped, with his sister's personality, it would probably be uncomfortable for half a month.
Lu Yuhong's heart was still hanging, he was very curious what kind of fish Miss Xie's family caught.
After throwing an incense stick, the fish in the water lost its strength, Wei Ruo said to Xie Ying, "Let's pull it hard now."
Xie Ying nodded: "OK!"
The two pulled the fishing rod hard, and finally pulled the fish out of the water.
As the fish came out of the water, Xie Ying exclaimed.
“Ruoruo, fast and see what kind of fish this is, it is very big!” Xie Ying's voice was extremely excited.
"This is a large head goldfish, also known as a silver goldfish and a fat head goldfish. It has a large head and fresh flesh," Wei Ruo said after distinguishing it.
Bighead carp are fish that tend to grow very large. Yang Xie Ying caught her weighing seven or eight catties, but that was not the limit for this type of fish. There must be a bigger goldfish in the East Lake.
“If you use mine to bake, it will be delicious!” Xie Ying said happily.
"This fish is too big. It may not be easy to cook whole fish. I'll cut the fish's head off and save it to make fish head soup. The belly will be grilled, and the tail of the fish will be fried again "wei ruo said.
“OK, okay, listen to you, do whatever you want.” Xie Ying nodded repeatedly, handing it to Ruoruo for cooking and cooking, and she continued fishing!
Lu Yuhong, who was in the boat across, looked at the fat fish Xie Ying and then at the small crucian carp she caught, and suddenly felt depressed.
No, no, how could he, Lu Yuhong, lose to a female family?
Lu Yuhong asked his subordinates to ask for an additional fishing rod, and he planned to put a few more fishing rods in his hands!
After Wei Ruo helped Xie Ying catch a fish, he started grilling the fish.
The charcoal fire was just right, and the black fish caught first was almost salted.
Wei Ruo applied vegetable oil on the fish, then put it on the fire and roasted it.
While grilling the fish, Wei Ruo started frying the seasoning with another stove and the pot he bought, and put in soy sauce, salt, and five seasoning powders (amomum, cloves, cardamom, cinnamon, etc, and the star anise) which he brought, and ground into powder according to the proportions of Mix), cooking wine, shallots, ginger.
After frying for a while, the fragrance smelled and seeped into the lake.
As an eater, Lu Yuhong's eyes sparkled as he kissed her, he stood up and looked towards Wei Ruo.
Once the sauce is sauteed, set it aside and wait for the fish next to it to be roasted.
After the golden-baked black fish on both sides, Wei Ruo moved the grilled fish into the pot. The bottom of the pan is already covered with chopped side dishes.
Put the fish on the side dish, add the boiling water and start cooking.
Wei Ruo took out another jar from his backpack, took out a black bean from it, and spread it over the fish.
As the water boils, there is a seductive smell, the scent of all the seasonings is forced out, and the taste seeps into the fish.
This smell made Lu Yuhong, who had just sworn to catch a big fish, lose the mood for fishing, he glanced towards Wei Ruo from time to time, for fear of losing something.
Xie Ying was also a little greedy, she was eager to taste the grilled fish made by Wei Ruo.
Seeing that his cooking was almost finished, Wei Ruo asked someone to take a bowl of soup, he put half of the fish and side dishes into a large bowl, he said, and then ordered Xie's servants to send the rest of the fish along with the pot to the pan. .
The servants took the iron pot from Wei Ruo and rowed the boat to Chu Lan and the others.
