My portable world of mixed farmers

Chapter 111
In the space, Dong Shanhe is sitting at the junction of the small river and the big river fishing, while his wife is playing with the hounds.

For a while, he ordered the hound to catch a pheasant, and for a while, he ordered the hound to catch a hare. In the end, Liu Miaomiao was so bored that he asked the hound to catch crickets.

"Daughter-in-law, are you too bored?" Dong Shanhe sat on the chair, put down his fishing rod and turned to look at her.

"It's just so boring. I really want to hurry up and give birth to the baby, so that I can have fun." Liu Miaomiao wanted to climb the mountain at No. [-], but she couldn't help it with her big belly. There is nothing I can do with a big belly, so I can only stroll around on the plain of No. [-] land and by the big river.

"Hey, big fish!" Dong Shanhe brought up a big fish.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll make you a fish head with chopped peppers at noon!" Seeing the fat-headed fish weighing seven or eight catties in his hand, Dong Shanhe decided to make a fish head with chopped peppers for a taste.

Ever since I tasted the chopped pepper fish head made by my uncle yesterday, Liu Miaomiao has never forgotten it, and said repeatedly that I still want to eat it, and I still want to eat it.

In order to reassure her and also for his own ears, Dong Shanhe finally made up his mind to try to make fish head with chopped pepper.

"Let's go, let's go home!" Dong Shanhe threw away the fishing rod, and returned home with the bucket containing the fat head fish.

Dong Shanhe is of course well aware of the reputation of chopped pepper fish head, such a well-known Hunan cuisine, Dong Shanhe who likes to eat it has definitely tasted it.

Fish head with chopped pepper is usually made of bighead carp fish head and chopped pepper as the main ingredients, steamed with soy sauce, ginger, green onion, garlic and other auxiliary ingredients. The dish is bright red in color, rich in flavor, and tender in texture.Fat but not greasy, soft and glutinous in taste, fresh and spicy.

There are many ways to chop pepper fish head. Dong Shanhe chose the most common way, which is also the one that my uncle made yesterday.

First of all, Dong Shanhe slaughtered the fat head fish. After the slaughter, the fat head fish was chopped off from the middle of the fish, leaving one fish head.
Dong Shanhe doesn't know how to make chopped peppers, so he can only buy ready-made seasoning packets at the dry and fresh store. Dong Shanhe hurried downstairs and went to the dry and fresh store to buy two packs of chopped peppers. Dong Shanhe looked at the seasoning of chopped peppers The pack is relatively small, so I bought two packs, so if one pack is not spicy enough, then I will have another pack.

Looking at the onion, ginger and garlic on the stove, as well as pepper powder, cooking wine, steamed fish soy sauce, and arowana salad oil, Dong Shanhe suddenly became full of pride. Isn't it just chopped pepper fish head? Even if I haven't done it myself, but I can't help myself.

Shred the onion, ginger, and garlic. After everything was ready, Dong Shanhe tried to make fish head with chopped pepper for the first time. Liu Miaomiao also stood in the kitchen and watched Dong Shanhe make it.

First of all, Dong Shanhe washed the head of the fat head fish, cut it open from the middle of the fish lip, and cut a few diagonal knives on the thicker part of the fish under the head. This is done for faster steaming when the fish head is steamed for a while.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Shanhe sprinkled cooking wine, pepper, and salt on the fish head and spread them evenly. "Ouch!" Accidentally, Dong Shanhe's right hand was stabbed by a fishbone, blood gushed out immediately, and then the cooking wine and salt on the right hand began to irritate Dong Shanhe along the wound.

"What's the matter, husband?" Hearing Dong Shanhe's ouch, Liu Miaomiao asked two steps forward.

"Why is it bleeding? Does it hurt?" Liu Miaomiao asked while holding Dong Shanhe's right hand.

"If you don't let go of my hand, it will really hurt to death." Dong Shanhe, who was stung by cooking wine and salt, couldn't bear it anymore, and gently broke away from Liu Miaomiao's concern, turned on the faucet and started to wash again.

"Why are you so careless? I'll find you a Band-Aid." Liu Miaomiao said and walked out of the kitchen.

But when Liu Miaomiao got the YN Baiyao Band-Aid from the medicine box, Dong Shanhe had already dried his hands and sat on the sofa to rest.

"Come on, I'll put a Band-Aid on you." Liu Miaomiao said, regardless of Dong Shanhe's willingness or not, he directly put it on Dong Shanhe.

"You put it on, how can I cook?" Dong Shanhe looked at the band-aid in his hand and asked.

"If you can't do it, don't do it. Do it tomorrow, and just don't eat today." Hearing Liu Miaomiao's righteous words, Dong Shanhe's sense of happiness immediately rushed to his head.

"It's okay, after applying the material, I won't use my hands anymore." Thinking of the next process, Dong Shanhe will no longer go into battle with bare hands like just now.

Twenty minutes later, "The fish head should be marinated, I'll go and see." After Dong Shanhe finished speaking, he walked from the sofa to the kitchen, and Liu Miaomiao followed Dong Shanhe into the kitchen worriedly.

Dong Shanhe poured chopped peppers into a small stainless steel basin, poured cooking wine into the chopped peppers, and stirred vigorously with chopsticks, "One bag of chopped peppers seems not enough." Dong Shanhe looked at the small bag of chopped peppers and felt Some were missing, and another bag was opened.

Immediately afterwards, Dong Shanhe poured a little salad oil on the surface of the marinated fish head, spread the sliced ​​ginger and scallion on the large plate, and then put the marinated fish head on the large plate.

The plate was bought by Dong Shanhe at the supermarket, with a diameter of nearly forty centimeters, and the edge of the plate was raised to prevent the soup from overflowing.

"Husband, put more peppers, put more." Liu Miaomiao was still beside Dong Shanhe urging Dong Shanhe to put more chopped peppers, Dong Shanhe stopped and put some chopped peppers on the fish head until the fish head Cover them all.

Put an appropriate amount of water in the steamer, bring to a boil, then place the fish head and cover it.

"Daughter-in-law, you can eat after waiting for 15 minutes!" After finishing all this, Dong Shanhe knew that there was only one last step left, and then he could taste this delicious food.

Time passed quickly, and 15 minutes passed in the blink of an eye. Dong Shanhe lifted the lid of the pot, and a burning sensation of chopped pepper rushed to his forehead, "Ah! Ah!" Dong Shanhe couldn't help but slapped two Sneezes, and the same goes for Liu Miaomiao behind him.

Dong Shanhe poked the fish with a chopstick, feeling no hindrance at all, knowing that the fish head should be cooked.

Take out the steamed fish head, pour out the excess soup in the bowl, sprinkle with chopped green onion, pour in steamed fish soy sauce, then heat up an appropriate amount of oil and pour it on top.

When Dong Shanhe announced that he was done, Liu Miaomiao didn't wait for Dong Shanhe to bring the food to the table, and started eating directly on the stove.

"You little greedy cat, can you eat at the table? You don't look like a girl at all." After Dong Shanhe cleaned the frying pan, he turned around and saw his daughter-in-law stealing food.

Liu Miaomiao ignored Dong Shanhe and kept waving his chopsticks, "Is it delicious?"

"It's not bad, but it's a little worse than your uncle's." Even so, Liu Miaomiao didn't put down his chopsticks.

"Aren't you talking nonsense! Uncle has been a chef for fifteen or sixteen years, and if he can't cook such a signature dish of Hunan cuisine, he can't get along."

After Dong Shanhe brought the chopped pepper fish head to the table, he carefully observed his masterpiece. The hot red chopped pepper covered the white and tender fish head meat, emitting a hot and fragrant aroma.

Dong Shanhe took a sip of his homemade fish head with chopped pepper. The freshness of the fish head was preserved in the meat as much as possible, and the taste of chopped pepper penetrated into the fish just right. It exploded.
