fish street dad

On the official road, a team of horse-drawn carriages was slowly walking on the road, behind which a bamboo cage was pulled by a mule cart, in which more than a dozen tied pheasants were imprisoned.

"Brother Kun, let's go on our way so slowly, how long will it take us to reach the imperial city?" Bai Chunsheng grabbed a piece of sugar cane and gnawed it in his mouth, and asked while spitting out the bagasse.

These days, there is no such thing as "do not throw rubbish out of the car window at will". Like other passers-by, the mussel spit out the chewed bagasse directly to the side of the road. At that time, the bagasse was eaten by the sheep, which was very interesting to watch.

Before he knew it, he gnawed off half a sugar cane.

"Eat less, just now I saw that they caught some red fish. You can't eat too greasy after taking medicine these days. The meat of red fish is sweet and delicate, and it can be used to make fish soup. "Wang Kunfeng took the remaining pieces of sugarcane in the carriage and threw them on the steps outside the carriage, preventing him from eating any more.

In the past few days, in order to suppress the "instinct that belongs to the courtship period of mussels" in his body, Bai Chunsheng was forced to drink a lot of bitter medicine. Sugar cane, after drinking the medicine every day, I will give him a piece of it. It is right to eat sugar, and Dr. Mao also said that sugar cane and the middle moisten dryness, clear away heat and troubles, and eating in moderation can relieve the symptoms of dryness and heat in the body of mussel essence However, eating too much of this food is not good for the body. Wang Kunfeng knew that his mussels were not afraid of anyone but him, so he took the trouble to watch and control the amount himself every day.

"Red basket fish? I've heard of this kind of fish. It's said to be a tribute from Jinshang. The royal family in this dynasty loves red basket fish the most. How can they be caught here?"

"This was originally the place where the red fish was produced. This season's red fish is not the most plump, but it's still edible." Wang Kunfeng smiled and didn't say anything. Don't let his family He Mu know, his family He Mu just needs to open two small shops in such a relaxed and happy manner, and cook some delicious food. The person he likes should naturally be protected, and he is reluctant to be wronged in the slightest.

While talking, the two accompanying attendants came back carrying a basket. There was a large piece of ice on the bottom of the basket, and there were several fresh fish about a foot long on it. The weather in the north is still cold now. It froze to death quickly when it came up, and a thin layer of ice formed on the body of the fish, which made the carmine red scales on its back even more beautiful.

"How do you eat this fish?" Bai Chunsheng stretched out a finger and poked the flat belly of the fish.

"Imperial chefs usually use it to make fresh fish dumplings or fish soup. The fish meat is fresh and tender, and with the prepared sauce, the fresh fish dumplings made are the most delicious." Wang Kunfeng explained on the side .

San Lang was sent to another hospital as soon as he was born. He has never eaten the legendary imperial meal since he was so old. He was very moved when he heard it, and looked at his sister-in-law eagerly.

It happened that he hadn't cooked for several days, and his hands were itchy, so Bai Chunsheng rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook a meal of fresh fish for his cat master and Saburo.

Take the red basket fish and cut it clean, cut off the fish head, and cut it in half. This season, this fish has not yet reached the spawning period, and there are only a few newly developed roe strips in the stomach. Clean out the internal organs in the stomach Throw it away, and what is left is the fish meat as white as snow.

Peeling off the skin of the fish and putting it aside, looking at the thickness of the belly of the fish, Bai Chunsheng cut three fish in a row, and barely made enough for a plate of fresh fish.I also cut some ginger and garlic, mixed with fried soybean oil, melted a little sweet noodle sauce into it, and made a simple dish of dipping sauce.

The skin of the red basket fish still had some fish flesh attached to it, so Bai Chunsheng cut the fish skin into pieces and made a fresh fish soup with the rest of the fish flesh. The soup base of the fish soup was made from the bones of the red basket fish It's done, after cooking, take out the fishbone and throw it away, so that the fish soup will have the deliciousness of fish soup without the trouble of fishbone. Although my cat master and Saburo are cats in nature, they are not afraid of fishbone, but Bai Chunsheng always I am worried that they will be stuck by the fishbone, and I like to shave the fishbone habitually every time I cook fish.

There were still a few red fishes left, too small to be used as fish sticks and fish soup. After thinking about it, Bai Chunsheng simply scratched the fish a few times, added seasonings and marinated for a while, then took Came to make some grilled fish.

Because there is not much fish oil on the red basket fish, if you want the grilled red basket fish to be delicious, you have to brush two layers of oil on it when grilling to improve the taste and prevent the fish from being burnt.The red basket fish after being scorched by the flames is so delicious that the mouth can't help it just by smelling it.

Saburo was still a little reserved at first, but after the smell of grilled fish came out, he couldn't hold back any longer, fidgeting and watching his sister-in-law grilling fish there.

When Uncle Cat started preparing grilled fish from his own mussels, he became a big cat very consciously.

Eating grilled fish or something is the most enjoyable eating in its original form.

Seeing this, Saburo hesitated for less than three seconds, and turned into a yellow and white kitten on the spot, meowing twice at the grilled fish that was already dripping with oil, with round and big eyes, and a burning gaze. Staring at the grilled fish on the shelf, the idiom "salivating" is perfectly expressed.

"Okay~ Drink some fish soup to warm your stomach first, and then eat grilled fish and fresh fish sticks." Bai Chunsheng couldn't help being stared at by two cats. Taking the opportunity to serve them with fish soup, he quickly reached out. The thief handed two cats, and hurriedly put two plates of fish soup in front of him and Saburo before the cat got mad, "Eat it quickly!"

Uncle Cat glared at him dissatisfied, how dare he belittle his uncle in front of his fiance?I will settle accounts with you in detail tonight!Right now, it's more important to eat the fish first. He lowered his head and licked a small groove on the fish soup with his dexterous tongue.

As expected of the tribute fish, the fish soup made of red scorpion fish is extremely delicious, the fish meat melts in the mouth, and it has a hint of sweetness. The cats, one big and one small, eat it without lifting their heads. The round and lovely buttocks Sticking it out there, it looks so fluffy and feels very good to the touch...cough!In broad daylight, it is wrong to belittle your fiancé and brother-in-law~

In order to divert his guilt of trying to belittle his uncle, Bai Chunsheng also filled a bowl of fish soup and ate it by himself. After eating, he immediately threw away the idea of ​​belittle him. This red fish is indeed a tribute, even the fish bones The finished fish soup is so delicious!In order to increase the taste of the fish soup, Bai Chunsheng added some sweet potato rice parts to the fish soup, which made the taste of the soup thicker. After the fish meat inside was wrapped in the sweet potato rice parts, the meat was smoother and more elastic. It was really delicious!

It's no wonder that the two cats in the family didn't even raise their heads after eating.

Originally, he wanted to give some fresh fish soup to Dr. Mao and others to taste, but he decided to keep all the fish soup in an instant. The two cats in the family may not be enough to eat, so others should bear with it.

Sure enough, after a while, the two cats ate up a small pot of fresh fish soup. If it wasn't for the sake of face, Bai Chunsheng had reason to believe that Saburo really wanted to climb into the pot and eat the rest of the pot. The fish soup was licked clean.

Fortunately, the grilled fish was also ready. Worried that the two cats would be hot, Bai Chunsheng deliberately put the grilled fish aside to cool for a while. Now that the temperature of the fish is just right, he unloaded the grilled fish from the simple grill made of tree branches , One cat and two fish, just right.

Smelling the delicious grilled fish, Mr. Cat raised his head and glanced at him. Pressing his sharp claws on the grilled fish, he accurately drew out a large piece of fish belly with less thorns and more meat, and pushed it to the edge of the plate, indicating that he would also like to eat it. eat together.

Seeing this, Saburo pulled out a large piece of fish belly from the plate in front of him and placed it on the side of the plate alone, looking at him with big round eyes with a smile on his face.

"You guys eat it. I'm taking medicine these days. Doctor Mao said that you can't eat spicy or irritable food. This grilled fish is sprinkled with chili powder. If I eat it, I will be scolded by Doctor Mao." Bai Chunsheng laughed. He opened the soup pot on one side, and there was half a pheasant in it. After stewing for more than an hour, the taste of the chicken soup was very delicious and rich. gone."

Uncle Mao also happened to think of this, so he didn’t try to persuade him any more. He lowered his head together with Saburo, and started to eat quickly. The two grilled fish were not big, and after a while there were only two fish skeletons left. Eat clean.

"Eat slowly, there are still some fresh fish sticks." Bai Chunsheng put the noodle slices on the fire and cooked them, and brought the fresh fish sticks that had been cut earlier to share among the two cats.

Originally, the fresh fish should be eaten first, but now the weather is cold, and there is no heat in the stomach, so I eat such a cold food. I am worried that the two cats at home will have a stomachache, so Bai Chunsheng violated the eating time of the fresh fish without authorization. Arrange it to be served last.

I thought the fresh fish soup was delicious enough, but I didn't expect that the fish stick dipped in sauce has another unique taste.The flesh of the red basket fish was even more tender and bouncy than the salmon that Bai Chunsheng ate in his previous life, and the small dish of fish was eaten up in a short time.

Uncle Cat stepped on his paw in embarrassment, the fish cake was so delicious just now, he even forgot to let his own mussels taste it too.

"Is it delicious? It's a pity that I'm still taking medicine, so I can't eat such cold things. When I get better, I'll let someone catch more red fish and come back to taste it." Bai Chunsheng saw his own Master Cat felt uncomfortable, so he couldn't help comforting him.

"There are still some noodle slices here, do you want to eat more?" A pot of fish soup plus a plate of fish sticks and four pieces of grilled fish may seem like a lot, but in fact there are not many. Bai Chunsheng specially made more noodle slices, It is inconvenient to make hand-rolled noodles when you are away from home. You can only knead a piece of dough and make the simplest noodle slices. Take out half of the stewed pheasant, disassemble it into chicken shreds, and wait until the noodle slices in the chicken soup are cooked. After cooking, add shredded chicken and sprinkle some chopped green vegetables into it, and you have a simple and delicious chicken noodle soup.

Smelling the delicious and mellow aroma of pheasant soup, the two cats involuntarily nodded their fluffy heads.

In this way, walking and eating all the way, it took ten days to arrive at Linjiang City, which is also the largest city from the Imperial City.

Wang Kunfeng decided to rest here for two days before setting off.Firstly, he can take his mussels to visit the bustling Linjiang City. Secondly, the local specialty crystal shrimp is on the market, and everyone is here, so naturally they want to have a real treat.

Linjiang City is the city with the largest area, the largest population, and the largest output of freshwater among the four major cities guarding the imperial city. Because it is close to the widest and longest Qinglian River in this dynasty, countless people from all over the world pay tribute every year. Fresh fish will come ashore from here, and they will be transported to Beijing from the official road by fast horses. Therefore, compared with the imperial city, Linjiang City can eat more fish, shrimp, crab and shellfish as tribute.

After Wang Kunfeng and his party entered the city, they did not go to the post station. Instead, they found an inn near the pier and booked a small yard for others to stay and pack their things. He took Bai Chunsheng with him to the pier Foraging nearby.

Sanlang watched helplessly as his eldest brother took his sister-in-law out to open a small stove, and he wanted to follow, but he was afraid that his elder brother would be angry, so he hesitated and missed the best time to follow him, so he could only go back to his room to rest. Anyway, even if the elder brother forgot, the elder sister-in-law would definitely bring some fresh fish for herself when she came back.

The wharf of Linjiang City covers a very large area and is very grand. Even after the morning market time, there are still many people. It is more refined and diverse than their small towns.

It was really an eye-opener for Bai Chunsheng to walk all the way. For the first time, he felt that this place was really different from the time and space he used to live in.

"Crystal Shrimp! Crystal Shrimp just landed! 130 copper coins per catty, the last two baskets! They will be gone when sold out!" Two fishmongers on the side of the road yelled loudly.

"Isn't this too expensive?" Shopkeeper Bai, who knows how to live on a budget, frowned when he heard the offer.

"It's not too expensive. A crystal shrimp of this size can be transported to the imperial city quickly, and it will cost three taels of silver a catty~" Wang Kunfeng seemed to be familiar with the prices of fish and shrimp in various places, so he pulled him and squeezed there. In front of the fish monger, he asked for a basket of crystal shrimp.

The crystal shrimp is really as its name suggests, the whole shrimp is transparent, and the legs of the shrimp can be seen through the back of the shrimp. It is probably a cold-resistant variety. In such a cold weather, the shrimp is still alive. rare!It's worth the price just by looking at it.

After buying the crystal prawns, Wang Kunfeng took Bai Chunsheng for a stroll and bought two baskets of shellfish the size of pigeon eggs, a big blue-backed fish half the length of a person, and a small fish the size of a little finger. The fish, called needle-headed rice locally, looks very similar to the small fish that Bai Chunsheng used to cook fire-baked fish in his previous life, commonly known as "Ma Nen Zi".

Seeing a poor family on the side of the road selling wild onions and garlic with bare feet, Bai Chunsheng took out a bunch of copper coins and bought them all. , Uncle Cat is a little puzzled, but since he is here to play with Fu Lang, it is only worth the money spent if Fu Lang is happy.

This is the "husband chasing skill" taught to him by Hei Yujing. When you go out with your husband, you must not cowardly spend money!

What's more, his mussels are not the vixen who spend money like water in Heiyujing's family. Sometimes they are even more frugal than him. When they go shopping, they rarely buy anything other than fresh ingredients.

Uh... It's a bit early to say this.

Seeing his mussel parked at a peddler's stall, "Moving Money Bag" Wang Dalang followed him consciously to give money.

Seeing what He Mu was holding, Wang Dalang was stunned.

"Brother Kun, do you think this bell hydrangea is very beautiful? Why don't you buy one and take it home as a gift for Saburo? I don't think Saburo has any toys." Bai Chunsheng shook the bell hydrangea to his cat master, and the hydrangea gave out a burst of sweetness. The bell rang, and Uncle Cat couldn't hold back, and almost turned into his original form and rushed towards him.

"Cough! How old is Saburo, what toy do you buy?" Uncle Cat taught with a serious face, "Sister-in-law is the mother, don't spoil him."

"Isn't it just a hydrangea? Besides, Saburo is still young, and it's time to play with toys. He won't be able to play when he grows up, and the store said that if he buys this hydrangea with bells now, he will also give a pack of replacement bells." It's only 45 copper coins." Bai Chunsheng took out a money bag from his sleeve, and counted out 45 to the peddler, who originally planned to sell it for [-] copper coins, but unexpectedly, the young man paid back the price on his own. , before he agreed, he decided to buy it at this price on his own.

The peddler wanted to stick to the original price, but when he saw Wang Dalang, who was very big and carrying a big fish that was half the length of a man, he immediately decided to give up. Anyway, he didn't lose money at this price, he just made less money.

Putting the hydrangea into his arms, Bai Chunsheng happily went back with the basket filled with crystal shrimps. Along the way, the replacement bells in his sleeves kept ringing pleasantly, making Mr. Cat's paws very itchy.

Back at the temporary inn, the accompanying attendants had already arranged all the bedding and other things. Knowing that the master specially reserved a yard with a small kitchen, mainly for the convenience of cooking and eating, they even set up firewood and oil for cooking. Salt, sauce, vinegar, rice noodles, etc. are also fully prepared. Other tableware and chopsticks are prepared by the inn. Big cities are different. Even the tableware used in the inn looks better than what they usually have at home. It's much more refined, so you don't have to buy a new one.

After returning, Bai Chunsheng put down the ingredients, took out the bell hydrangea hidden in his bosom, and sent it to Sanlang.

"Is this for me?" Saburo looked at the pink hydrangea in his hand in amazement. A few iron bells were sewn on the hydrangea with strong embroidery thread. a toy.

"Cough~ put it away, your sister-in-law bought it for you specially, it's just this one, if you lose it, it will be gone." Uncle Mao walked over with an unhappy face, seeing how the hydrangea in Sanlang's hand looked and was not pleasing to the eye, His family's mussels haven't bought toys for themselves yet.However, after all, Sanlang is still young, and his elder sister-in-law is like a mother. Bai Chunsheng loves Sanlang because of his face. Thinking of this, Uncle Mao's unhappy mood instantly improved a lot.

"Thank you, Brother Chunsheng!" Sanlang put away the hydrangea bell happily, and decided to turn into a cat and play with it when he returned to his room.In the past, he was very envious that other domestic kittens had toys, but their family used to live in such a tight situation that it was difficult to even eat. No matter how naive he was, he would not let the nanny and the eldest brother even eat in order to buy toys for him. Don't eat, and when you grow up, you will get used to life without toys. As long as the family is together, it is not a big deal to have no toys.

Unexpectedly, since Brother Chunsheng even thought of this, he bought him such a fun hydrangea with bells. Hearing the melodious sound of the hydrangea shaking, the smile on Sanlang's face became sweeter.

"You go and cook, I have something to do with Sanlang." Wang Kunfeng asked his family to cook, and he dragged Sanlang into the house.

"Brother, what's the matter?" San Lang was absent-minded while holding the hydrangea ball.

"Bring it!" Uncle Cat stretched out his hand.

"What?" Saburo looked over blankly.

"Hum!" The cat snorted coldly, and instantly turned into a big tabby cat. It rushed over, threw the hydrangea in Sanlang's hand into his arms, chased and rolled it on the ground, and the room was filled with the melodious ringing of bells.

The first and only toy in Sanlang Miaosheng's life was robbed, and he was a little stunned for a moment. After being stunned, he couldn't help being angry. How could the elder brother be like this?This hydrangea was obviously given to him by Chun Sheng's brother, and the eldest brother asked him to keep it away just now, what happened?As soon as I turned around, I grabbed it and started playing.

With a flat mouth, Saburo instantly turned into a chubby yellow and white cat, staggered and ran after his hydrangea, trying to snatch the hydrangea back from the big cat's claws.

Where can I get it?

The big cat rolled the hydrangea and teased his younger brother for a long time, until Sanlang was exhausted and lay on the ground looking at him aggrieved, then pushed the hydrangea under his paws, and the two brothers rolled the hydrangea back and forth to play, not for a while Then the delicate hydrangea was rolled a little dirty.

One of the bells was cut off by a sharp cat's claw.

"Brother, what should we do? The hydrangea is broken~" Sanlang looked at the bell that fell to the ground and was stunned.He originally planned to keep the hydrangea as a souvenir, but he didn't expect it to be broken an hour after he got it.

"Cough~ I told you to put it away carefully, look, you played it badly?" Uncle Cat turned into a human form on the spot, put on his clothes, ignored Saburo, who was squatting on the ground, sad, and fled with a guilty conscience. to the scene of the crime.

Bai Chunsheng listened to the sound of the bells rolling in the house, thinking that Saburo must have turned into a kitten playing hydrangea at this moment, so with a satisfied smile on his face, he rolled up his sleeves and started cooking.

"I'll help you!" Uncle Cat rolled up his sleeves, picked up the kitchen knife on one side, and helped Bai Chunsheng drag the half-human-long green-backed big fish to the well for slaughter.

The meat of this big blue-backed fish is very thick, and it is difficult to cut through it with an ordinary kitchen knife, but this is not a problem for Mr. Cat. The viscera inside was discarded, and the super big fish head was cut off. Looking at the fish head, which was laid flat and bigger than the cauldron in the yard, Mr. Cat was a little embarrassed for a while.

How to eat such a big fish head?
