Chapter 969 Delicious Umi

(Thanks to friend 08a for the reward and encouragement, and thanks to friends sunyw0211 and wader_boy for the monthly pass encouragement)

Lao Liu's daily life is actually very simple now, just for the family's three meals a day, and then around his eldest daughter and two little babies.

When I was eating oily fish at noon, the inspiration came and I planned to make some bad fish, but the idea was unstoppable.Even Xiao Lele was attracted, and the nap was temporarily cancelled.

In fact, Lao Liu only ate it once, and it was brought from his hometown by a little brother from his original security team.At that time, it was very delicious to eat, and Xiao Lele also liked to eat it, but it was not available in the market.

This slightly special delicacy is buried in memory.The orthodox method is of course somewhat complicated and requires a lot of materials.However, after Lao Liu did some research on the Internet, he felt that it was better to come to a non-mainstream one.After all, this is in the north, and some materials are not so easy to handle.

For example, he didn't even know where to buy the fermented glutinous rice.Moreover, he is still the master who can do whatever he wants, so how can he have the time to explore this?It's better to improve the traditional method by yourself, whether it's delicious or not, let's talk after it's done.

With Lele, I went to the fish pond at the foot of the mountain to catch some big crucian carp.It's not so easy to catch. Now the breeding density in the pond is low. It's not like before, you can catch a lot of fish with one net, and then choose the fish you use.

After returning home, Lao Liu cleaned up the fish.Looking at the method on the Internet, it seems that there is still a process of air-drying. How can Lao Liu wait so anxiously.

Just put it on the side to control the water, this will do.It's not intentional to reduce the program, it's already improved anyway.

After adding water to the pot and adding various seasonings, Lao Liu poured the washed big bones into it.He felt that the fish would taste better if it was stewed in boiling broth.And the cooked big bones can be sauced, so it's pretty good to eat at night.

Little friend Lele, just follow him around, even if the fire on the stove is a little hot, she doesn't care at all.When it comes to cooking, the little guy is very hardworking, especially if he cooks new dishes today.

But when the bone broth is being stewed, you really don't have to keep looking at it.Put the chopping material under the stove and stew it by yourself.

Lao Liu was not idle either. He fried the caviar sauce for Lele with the fish roe he took out when he was slaughtering the fish.Now he eats fish less frequently, and more often he eats grass carp and black fish, and Lele also eats less of his favorite fried fish roe sauce.

I took my daughter and played with the two children for a while, and the soup over there was almost ready.It's just a taste, you don't have to wait until the bones are stewed.

I took out the small iron pot at home and ordered fish like this. If you use the big pot at home to make it, it would be too wasteful.

Anyway, Lao Liu doesn't know what the effect of his improved method is. Anyway, it is much worse than the original version.

After the fish in the pot is stacked, we start to add broth and various seasonings to it.What kind of cooking wine, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, bean paste, sugar, salt, all kinds of dry ingredients, there are a lot of them.

He just played with his own imagination. Anyway, in Lele's eyes, he, a bad fish, did just fine.

After everything is done here, he will directly turn on the fire and simmer.You can adjust other ingredients, but you really can't cut corners in the process of slow cooking.

If you don't cook enough, your fish really doesn't know what it tastes like.At least that thorn, you don't expect to be stewed.You can't boil it over a high fire like stewed big fish at home. It cooks quickly, but if you boil it for a long time, the meat will fall apart.

Anyway, in Lao Liu's view, this is slow work and meticulous work.After all, I did too little this time. If I had a little more, I would use a large pot, add a full pot of soup, and stew it dry. The effect should be better.

Now that I use a small pot, I have to come over every now and then to have a look.Don't expect to be able to eat this bad fish today, the last process seems to have to be boring.

Of course, the normal boring time is sometimes very long, but if you can be bored for a day at Lao Liu's place, you will be successful.No matter how much, he can bear it.

After all the work is done, Lao Liu is also very happy in his heart.Regardless of whether it is delicious or not, at least there is a beautiful little hope.Now this season is not sure what to eat, this is very good.

"Dad, shall we go outside to play? I want to catch two praying mantises." Xiao Lele leaned in front of him and said.

Old Liu touched her head, "Okay, let's go to the field for a while. But you can't take your younger siblings with you. There are mosquitoes in the field, and they will bully younger siblings."

Xiao Lele obviously has some regrets, but actually wants to play with her younger siblings.But thinking about being bitten by mosquitoes, the big bag was very itchy, so she didn't dare to take the two small ones with her.

The sun was still a little big, so the father and daughter put on big straw hats.

Not to mention, there were days when they didn't go out for a walk together, so Xiao Lele was very happy.As for the matter of catching the mantis, it seems that the little guy has forgotten it.

"This is to bring Lele out to play? I just hit some Umi, let Lele eat."

Just as he was strolling, Li Fengjiu walked over head-on, and raised the Umi that he was holding in his hand.

Even Lao Liu's eyes lit up when he saw it. This is a good thing. I have so many lands in my house, and I actually forgot this childhood delicacy.

"Want to eat?" Seeing Lao Liu's eyes, Li Fengjiu joked.

"Come on, you can eat it at home, and Lele and I will go to the field to find it. There are so many sorghums planted, so you can eat whatever you want." Old Liu said domineeringly.

When I was young, there were many sorghum planted in the village, and the Umi at that time was a childhood delicacy.Later, they all switched to rice. The yield of sorghum is still low, so there are few crops, and they can't eat it even if they want to.

Seeing these ummis today, not to mention teasing out his saliva, is almost the same.I took two from Li Fengjiu, and one from Xiao Lele, and the gluttonous bear could only watch.

In fact, this is a kind of germ. With this germ, the sorghum plant will be useless, and it will not be able to produce grain at all.

In terms of taste, Umi is a bit dry and choked when eating, but even Xiao Lele likes the unique taste.The little bit left was a bit reluctant to give the gluttonous bear a taste.

But Lele still misses the little animals, even if he is a little bit reluctant, he still gives it to the gluttonous bear.

It finally came, but it disappointed the gluttonous bear a little.This dark, dry thing is not very tasty to eat, why do you still eat it so delicious?You lied to bears like this, won't your conscience hurt?

Old Liu glanced at the gluttonous bear, "Who made you want to eat, the bear can't eat anything good, it's too wasteful."

After criticizing the gluttonous bear, he hugged Xiao Lele and ran straight to the sorghum field to kill him.

If it was a child, there would be a lot of Umi in the sorghum field.But now that this variety has been improved, that is to say, he grows more sorghum now, otherwise it would be quite laborious to get a bundle of black rice.

Xiao Lele couldn't do the matter of breaking Umi.I can only watch Lao Liu dig into the ground, and when he comes out again, he will hug a few black rice.

The little guy ate quite well, and once in a while, he ate a stick that made his little mouth black.

Lao Liu's sweep was indeed very powerful. Regardless of the heat and humidity in the sorghum field, he searched for Bai Lai for more than an hour.

But don't think that there are too many Umi, so it's not easy to get home.There is a gluttonous bear, and this is the bear who carries the living.

Anyway, the sorghum with umami was useless, so Lao Liu just got a few off, then tied the umami to the pole with sorghum leaves, put it on the gluttonous bear, and it was over.

"Dad, Lele is almost full." The little guy frowned.

I can't make fun of Lao Liu, "It's okay, I will go home and play with the little animals later, and when we eat at night, let's eat later, and you can eat much better again."

The little guy nodded after thinking for a while, and then glanced at Umi on the gluttonous bear's back.In fact, I still want to eat, but I am really full.

This is the case with Umi, which is comparable to peaches in terms of satiety.This means that what Lao Liu picked today is very fresh, if it is older, it will all turn into black smoke noodles.

But even so, there are still some old ones. The little Lele now has smoky makeup on her lips.Then there are some greedy eyes, sneaking a glimpse of Umi's gluttonous appearance from time to time, which is really rare for Lao Liu.

After a long time without carrying his daughter away, Lao Liu put his big straw hat on the gluttonous bear's head, then knelt down and patted himself on the shoulder.

Gi Lele was so happy that he climbed up and sat firmly on Lao Liu's shoulders.

The angle of view from this angle is very wide, and there is a feeling of being able to look at the mountains and small mountains.Maybe Lele can't describe it well now, but people just like to sit high and ride high.

Otherwise, the little guy usually likes to ride the gluttonous bear the most, because the gluttonous bear is tall.If you are on a hurry, you will ride a big scarf and a big flower.

The hottest period has passed.Now the workers are also coming out to work, and when they see their father and daughter playing, they will also come over to have a chat.

They are more concerned about little girl Lele, everyone knows that she is a girl with many talents.It seems that the little guy likes Umi very much, so what else is there to say, you broke it yourself today, and I will send you home tomorrow.

Old Liu felt that it seemed that Xiao Lele was better off than himself in the village.Many of the workers who came here didn't know each other, but Xiao Lele was very familiar with them.

Thinking about it, the little guy would walk around outside every day, so it's normal to get acquainted with the big guy.The current self is much more homebound than usual.At most, it's just pushing the babies around the village, but not running around like Lele.
