Chapter 517 Whole Fish Feast

There are several fish of different sizes left in the basin.

Fan Ming asked: "Do we keep these for our family to eat or put them back in the fish pond?"

Cai Yazhi said from the side: "Just keep two, and put the rest back."

But Zhang Taiping said: "This is not much, so don't put it back. I don't know if these are enough for a whole fish table at night."

"You eat all fish?" Cai Yazhi asked in surprise.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "Although they are all fish, they are made in different ways, and the tastes are also different."

"Then do you have anything else to prepare?" Cai Yazhi asked, "If you need anything special, I can prepare it in advance."

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "The seasoning at home is already complete, I don't need anything else, just a little rosin, but don't worry about this, I will go to the mountain to pick some after lunch later. "

"Brother, going up the mountain later? Take me with you." Fan Ming heard Zhang Taiping said that he was going to the mountain, so he hurriedly said.

"Okay. You add some water to the big basin first, so that the fish in it won't die of thirst."

Since there is a big meal in the evening, the meal at noon is not too labor-intensive. I just simply ordered some noodles.

After lunch, Zhang Taiping took Fan Ming to the mountain.Naturally, Wukong and Grimace followed, and Xiaoxi also flew out and landed on Zhang Taiping's shoulder.

"Come here, Wukong." Fan Ming waved to Wukong.

Wukong came to him without knowing why.This man is now wearing a yellow vest, he walks staggeringly, and from time to time he scratches his cheek with his hand or puts his forehead on his forehead to look into the distance, which is very similar to the movement of the great sage.The appearance always has an element of making people laugh, and the majesty and awe-inspiring majesty of the Great Sage making trouble in the Heavenly Palace can't be learned at all.

"Take the basket." Fan Ming said as he put the basket on Wukong's neck.

"Squeak!" Wukong immediately protested.

"Are you still not happy?" Fan Ming stretched out his fist, and Wukong died down.One thing falls one thing, and Wukong is beaten to death by Fan Ming.

But this guy rolled his eyes and thought of some bad idea. He was two steps behind and walked side by side with Grimace, and he was about to love that basket and hang it on Grimace's neck.

It's a pity that Grimace is a master who sees all directions and hears all directions. Although it seems that he didn't pay attention to its movements, none of its movements escaped Grimace's eyes.Just when it was about to hang the basket on Grimace's head, Grimace suddenly roared.

So scared that Wukong jumped up the tree.

"Wukong, you've really learned a lot, you even dare to make faces." Fan Ming gloated beside him.

Wukong bared his teeth on the tree, but unfortunately he couldn't do anything about the grimace or Fan Ming, so he had to sit down and carry the basket, jumping and running in front of everyone.

The most trees in the mountain are locust trees and pine trees. You don't need to go far to reach a pine forest.

Pine resin is the resin secreted by pine trees. When it first flows out from the trunk, it is colorless and transparent. After contacting with the air, it gradually becomes a honey-like semi-fluid. After a long time, it will become transparent crystals.

If the pine resin is cut artificially, an opening will be made on a specific part of the pine tree a few days in advance, so that the pine resin will slowly seep out and form a block after a few days.If it is done purposefully, the quantity produced will be large.And now the two of them did collect the natural turpentine, most of which were formed by accidental cracks in the pine tree, not a lot.

So the process needs to be found.

Zhang Taiping, an expert on Wukong, naturally would not forget it. He found a piece of turpentine and showed him how to collect it first, and then let him collect it from a high place in the tree. collection.

Xiaoxi could remember this kind of thing after looking at it once, and when she walked quickly through the forest, she found a piece in a short while, and then made a sound, and Wukong immediately went to pick it.Unexpectedly, the two of them matched well, even faster than Zhang Taiping and Fan Ming.

When Zhang Taiping and Fan Ming were looking for it, the grimace next to him suddenly let out a roar, and then heard "Jiujiu", the voice was immature.

Grimace rushed over to the nearby grass, revealing a small white figure inside.It was the little fox raised by Fan Ming at that time, looking at Zhang Taiping and the two, wanting to come over but afraid of grimaces and not daring to come over.

"It's a little fox!" Fan Ming said in surprise, and went to hug the little white fox in his arms.

When they were just born, because the old fox was injured, the three little foxes were treated as pets at home for a while.However, when he was a little older and could hunt on his own, he left the house and lived with the old fox. After that, he has been hiding in the mountains and forests, and is rarely seen in the yard again.Unexpectedly, it appeared here.

Then there was another rustling sound, and two little red foxes came out, followed by a big fiery red fox.Apparently the whole family is here.

After playing with the little foxes for a while, Fan Ming helped collect pine resin.The foxes didn't leave either, but surrounded them, especially the three little foxes, although they were a little bigger and more mature than before, they were still lively and active.For a while it was still at the feet of the two, and for a while it ran up the tree again, fully embodying the so-called light body.

Looking at the turpentine in the basket, Zhang Taiping said to Fan Ming, "These are almost done."

Fan Ming stopped and shouted towards the depths of the woods, Wukong and Xiaoxi came back after a while, and the basket Wukong was carrying was already full.

The natural pine resin collected in this way cannot be eaten directly, but the purest part of each piece needs to be selected, so that there will not be much left in the two baskets that seem to be a lot.Fortunately, it doesn't take much to make fish, which is enough to make several times.

The four foxes, big and small, went home with the two, but when they were about to enter the village, the four foxes left from the side again.

"Brother, why are they leaving again?" Fan Ming looked at the foxes disappearing in the grass, and didn't have time to stop them.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "They didn't leave, but returned to the house from another way."

For animals, this kind of road that humans often walk, the smell of people coming from above is too strong, which will make them feel uncomfortable, so they seldom appear on the road that people often walk, but have their own special road that they often walk.

Sure enough, when the two returned home, the four foxes were already in the yard.

Several little girls have come back from school, and the whole family mobilized to cook dinner.

Mu Hongyu helped Fan Ming pick out the pure, transparent and high-quality turpentine; Cai Yazhi and Fan Ming prepared condiments and various tools in the room; Linger helped Zhang Taiping with a knife What about killing fish?

Yaya, Tiantian and Xiao Yuer were not idle either, and were assigned a task of peeling garlic.

There are many kinds of fish in the basin.One black fish, two arrow tooth fish, one white fish, two big crucian carp and one small carp, and one ricefield eel, and the rest are some half-sized miscellaneous fish.

Zhang Taiping also ate a whole fish feast, which was the last time he ate by the edge of Hulun Lake.The carp, crucian carp, white fish and redtail fish produced in Hulun Lake are plump and nutritious.I was very satisfied with the last time I ate it, so I have never forgotten this, and my own fish is not inferior to the fish in Hulun Lake, and the taste is better than that of cooked fish.

There are 12, 14, 20, 24 dishes per table for the whole fish feast, and there are even hundreds of dishes per table.But that also includes other seafood.There are not many fish species in the pond now, so we can only set up a table of the simplest whole fish feast of twelve fish.

The first dish Zhang Taiping cooked was "Carp Leaping over the Dragon's Gate".

This dish is based on the allusion of "Fish and Dragon Change".According to "San Qin Ji": "Longmen Mountain is on the east side of the river. Yu chiseled the mountain and cut off the gate for more than a mile. The Yellow River flows down from the middle. There are no cars and horses on both sides. Every spring, there are yellow carp coming from the sea and the rivers. He was only 72 years old. He first entered the Dragon Gate. Clouds and rain followed him, and the sky fire burned his tail later, and he turned into a dragon." Later, he used "a carp jumping over the Dragon Gate" as a metaphor for the success of the imperial examination and promotion.Later, it was also used as a metaphor to go against the current; to work hard.

Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, said in his poem "Gift to Cui Shiqing": "The three-foot carp in the Yellow River originally lived in Mengjin, and it didn't become a dragon when it was tapped. Then there will be disasters of "point amount" and "violent carp".Later generations described those who failed in the imperial examinations as "repaying the quota".

Since this dish has a positive connotation, people who eat whole fish feasts will basically order this dish.

The most important thing in the production process is to make the faucet.

Carve 4 or four faucet heads with white radish, tie vermicelli into a keel that is as thick as a thumb and [-] to [-] cm long, deep-fry in an oil pan to expand, take it out and wrap it tightly with egg skin, as the dragon body, and place the scales of the dragon with coriander leaves As a result, replace the dragon claws with chicken feet, take two white radish pies, and put bamboo sticks on them for later use.

Take out the live carp, cut it quickly from the back, peel it straight along the fish spine, and peel it straight under the skin with another knife, take out two pieces of fresh fish meat, cut them into butterfly flower blades, and put them back on the fish body. Insert the tails into the bamboo sticks, put them in the middle of the two dragons, put them in the posture of a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, pour some fish soup on it and serve.

Although this dish is highly technical and complex in workmanship, it requires skilled technology and fast speed to keep the fish fresh, the soup is fresh and the meat is tender, and the taste is mellow.

This dish is the most complicated, and the next few dishes are relatively simple.

Two crucian carp, one made into braised crucian carp, one made into purse crucian carp.The black fish was made into sweet and sour crispy fish, and the white fish was made into grape fish.

This grape is also somewhat talkative.After removing the internal organs of the whole fish, use a blade to cut across the outside, and then lightly pass the oil in the pot, so that the place where the knife is placed on the fish shrinks into pieces, just like a bunch of grapes.

Then pour dark red grape juice on it, so that the whole fish looks like a bunch of purple grapes.Not only does it look like it, but it also tastes like grapes.It is true to its name.

Two arrow-tooth fish were boiled into soup. These two fish are a bit small. If they are eaten in a different way, they will not be enough to fit between the teeth.

As for the rice field eel, it was simply braised in soy sauce.

Of course, the whole fish feast is not all fish, if so, these fish are really not enough for the whole family to eat.Also added several cold dishes.

By the time everything was ready, it was already dark.

Zhang Taiping untied the apron on his body and said to Cai Yazhi: "Have you called Lu Feng over?"

Everyone who came in the morning gave a fish, and finally Mr. Li and Mr. Tang also gave two.Only it was not given to Lu Feng's family, and the plan was to call her over at night.

"Oh, if you don't tell me, I'll forget about it. I'll hurry over and call over." Cai Yazhi hurriedly washed her hands and went to Lu Feng's house.

After the two came over, the family sat around a large table and had dinner.

Wukong can eat any food, except fish.Monkeys are anxious monkeys are anxious, monkeys are impatient, and it is impossible for them to be patient and remove the fishbone bit by bit, which is guaranteed to be a bite.I have learned this lesson a long time ago, so now Wukong can only look at others greedily.

Now the house is not just a table of people on the table, but also animals all over the ground.I don't know that these guys came back after smelling the smell like this, and Xiao Zi and the big-tailed squirrel were also nearby.

Only a few parrots and Xiao Zi could eat fish, so Zhang Taiping put a few pieces of fish meat for them.

Seeing that Yaya's chopsticks came a little too fast, Cai Yazhi said worriedly: "Slow down, spit out the thorns inside, and prick your mouth carefully."

Although Yaya nodded in response, the movements in her mouth did not slow down.

Now even Zhang Taiping can't stand it any longer. You must know that the fishbone stuck in the mouth can be big or small. If it's just in the mouth and it's easy to take it out, it's nothing more than a pain for a while, but if it gets into the throat, then But it's troublesome, it's a very dangerous thing.

Said aloud: "Eat slowly, and no one will grab you."

Zhang Taiping's words were a bit heavy, the little girl was really full of speed, but she even dropped down emotionally.

Zhang Taiping didn't want to see the little girl look sad, so he pointed to this dish and said, "Do you know the name of this dish?"

The little girl's mind was quickly attracted, and she shook her head.

"It's called Carp Leaping over the Dragon's Gate." Zhang Taiping said with a smile, "Do you want to hear the story of Carp Leaping over the Dragon's Gate?"

The little girl nodded, even Lu Feng, Cai Yazhi and the others had never mentioned this dish, they all listened to him and waited for him to talk about it.

Zhang Taiping put down his chopsticks and told the story of the carp jumping over the dragon's gate and the ins and outs of this dish.

Wine must be indispensable in the process of eating, and there is Mu Hongyu, an alcoholic.Zhang Taiping took out some of all kinds, and chose what he liked according to the tastes of different people.Mu Hongyu naturally chose the kind of black wine with a high alcohol content.

This meal lasted until the eclipse of the moon, and Mu Hongyu was inevitably drunk.
