The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 122 Completing the Final Steps
For Li Sanlang, the next few months will be much more difficult than before.

But also because of this, Li Sanlang's homework was reviewed more solidly.

Whenever he thinks of his little daughter-in-law and wants to live a good life for her, Li Sanlang doesn't even dare to sleep too deeply.

Every day, I try my best to study more and learn more knowledge to enrich myself.

The main reason is that he wants to pass the exam this time. It's not that such a young man has a good name, but he just hopes that he can quickly enter the officialdom and help his family.

If you don't win, you have to wait another three years, and you don't know what will happen in the middle.

Li Sanlang couldn't wait, and he didn't know if he still had this opportunity to wait.

Qingqing is a lucky person. Since they got married, his body seems to be much better.

But the doctor also looked at it, and they all said that he was the root of the disease brought out of the mother's womb, and there was no way to cure it...

Fang Qingqing didn't know that Li Sanlang had so many complicated thoughts, so she just told him happily: "You must not eat well in the government school, let my sister-in-law make more delicious food for you these few days."

And she also intends to learn and make some new dishes to eat.

Like, for example, fish with pickled cabbage.

They are an inland city, not near the river or the sea, and there are not many opportunities to eat fish.

The main reason is that the fish has many bones and is fishy, ​​and it needs seasoning and good cooking skills to make it delicious, so most people must like to eat meat first.

So there are not many people buying and selling fish on weekdays, and it just so happened that Fang Qingqing thought of making sauerkraut fish, but when Li Erlang came back with a load, he brought two grass carp.

It is said that a lot of fish just happened to be collected in the fishpond at the family's house, and they were shipped to the county town together. After selling for a day, they were going to collect the stall and go home, so they simply gave him the remaining two fish as a bargain.

And there happened to be sauerkraut pickled by her mother-in-law at home, and the recipe of pickled fish immediately appeared in Fang Qingqing's mind, so she excitedly went to her sister-in-law to let everyone try this fresh dish|色|.

After the internal organs of the fish have been processed and the scales are cleaned, Mrs. Li first slices out the fish meat on both sides of the fish body, cuts the fish bones and meat into pieces and puts them in a large bowl with the fish head for later use.

Thinly sliced ​​fish was put into another large bowl, salt was added to the bowl, and after mixing evenly, some rice wine was added according to Qingqing's instructions.

It is said that this can get rid of the fishy smell, and then pour oil on the fish fillets to lock the moisture.

Although Fang Qingqing's hands-on skill is not as good as her mouth's skill, but now Mrs. Li firmly believes in what she says.

Especially knowing that many of Qingqing's methods are learned from books, I am more willing to listen to her.

Sister-in-law Li is thinking that the third daughter-in-law is now tainted with the "scent of books" because she has dealt with scholars a lot.

Then if I deal with her more, will I also become——

Uh, like the third daughter-in-law said, full of bookishness?

The fish fillets and fish heads are marinated separately, and the sauerkraut is washed and cut into strips.

Then heat the pan, add a tablespoon of oil, sauté the chopped ginger and garlic until fragrant, then pour in the chopped sauerkraut and fry.

In fact, if you want to cook pickled fish, the most important side dish should be pickled peppers. Unfortunately, Fang Qingqing saw that the Li family didn't seem to eat much peppers on weekdays——

[Dear, according to historical records, pepper was introduced in the Ming Dynasty. 】

Fang Qingqing was dumbfounded||forced| for a while, she didn't know the dynasty she was in now.

To be precise, she had seen detailed records about the age of emperors and generals in the book, but it was completely different from what she had learned in history class in her previous life.

With such an entry, it is impossible to know whether what happened in the Ming Dynasty was before or after this time and space.

However, according to Fang Qingqing's speculation, this is an era of fiction, and the course of social development should be ahead of the background of the Ming Dynasty that she knows.

So, in this era, pepper has not been widely promoted and planted among the common people?

The system did not speak in her mind anymore, so Fang Qingqing knew that the conclusion she had guessed was correct.

It just so happens that Li Sanlang needs to study often to waste his throat, and eating chili is not good.

Simply, the side dish was omitted. Anyway, this sauerkraut is homemade and strong enough to believe that the final product will not be bad.

Sister-in-law Li's talent in this area is not bad. Fang Qingqing only briefly explained it, and she fully understood the true meaning of it.

In actual operation, it is completely like a person who is familiar with it.

After putting the sauerkraut, ginger and garlic on the plate, add oil to the pan again, this time frying the fish bones until golden.

Shi Shi, who was used to living a hard life, saw it next to him, and suddenly felt a little pain in his cheek.

I endured it and endured it, and finally muttered: "Prodigal woman, how can you be so frivolous?"

As a result, Fang Qingqing whispered next to him: "Mother, this is delicious, and it's to replenish Sanlang's body."

Shi Shi didn't believe it at first, what good can this fish head and fish bones do?
Fang Qingqing said again: "Fish is a dead thing. People in the world eat it only to satisfy their own appetites. In fact, the nutrition of a fish is all in the head and bones."

Hearing that the words were said in a polite manner, as if a scholar would say them, Shi immediately believed them.

She stopped talking, and with a kind smile on her face, she looked at the fried fish head in the pot——

It looked like she was looking at her most beloved little son.

Sister-in-law Li has gotten used to it and keeps her face expressionless.

See, this is the difference in treatment between the daughter-in-law that the mother-in-law likes and the daughter-in-law that the mother-in-law likes in general.

If Second Aunt Li saw it, she might still be thinking, this is the difference in treatment between the daughter-in-law the mother-in-law likes and the daughter-in-law she doesn't like.

After frying the fish bones and fish heads, Mrs. Li poured two tablespoons of water into the pot, and a pot of milky white ||color|| soup appeared in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, there was sauerkraut and ginger and garlic that were just fried, and the aroma overflowed instantly.

Now, Shi Shi believed in the words of the third daughter-in-law even more, look at how delicious the fish made after her instruction.

The third daughter-in-law is really good, and the aboveboard and eccentric old woman completely attributed the credit for the well-cooked dish to the third daughter-in-law.

I don’t remember at all, but the one who actually cooks this dish is the eldest daughter-in-law!

Sister-in-law Li is not discouraged at all, this fish is not small, and two of them are cooked together. After it is done, her men, sons and even daughters will definitely share some to eat.

As a woman, she already felt very satisfied.

It is estimated that it is almost time, so there is only the last step left, which is to scald the fish fillets.

This is the step that most tests the heat and the skills of the person who handles the spoon. The fresh and tender fish fillets are easy to cook. Of course, this is not a problem for Mrs. Li.

After she prepared a plate of fish with pickled cabbage, sprinkled with chopped green onion and drizzled with hot oil, she completed the last step.

In the end, it was brought out of the kitchen, but there were big boys, [-], [-], [-], and even Li Xiaomei and Niuniu outside, all lying on the door of the kitchen, drooling.

She couldn't help shaking her head and laughing, these children are living a much better life now than when she was a child.

Why do they all look so hungry?
