Chapter 452 A record-breaking monster!Make a sweet dish - sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice lotus root! 【Subscribe】

Lin Xu held the fishing rod with both hands, first tugged hard to stabilize his body, and then started to walk the fish.

Fishing for big fish is completely different from fishing for small fish.

Just pull the small fish out after taking the bait. As long as the fishing rod and line group pass the test, there will be no problem. Just grab the fishing rod and throw it out, and the small fish will fly out steadily.

But you can’t pull it hard to catch big fish, otherwise even if the fishing rod can hold it, the line group will not be able to stand it.

To catch a big fish, you have to take a walk to exhaust the strength of the big fish.

The so-called walking is not to let the fish swim casually, nor is it to fight the fish tug-of-war desperately, but to relax a little during the confrontation, and then continue to fight after relaxing.

Make the big fish uncomfortable as much as possible, so that the strength of the fish will be exhausted in a short time.

When the fish floats to the surface of the water, it basically means that you have no strength, and you can use the net to catch the fish.

"Xiao Xu, do you need help?"

"No, I can do it!"

When Shen Guofu saw his son-in-law catch the fish, he was more motivated than when he caught the fish himself.

Although the fish has not surfaced yet, depending on the strength of walking the fish, it should be more than ten catties.

I never thought that such a big fish could be caught in the pond in winter. This is the morning, the sun has not yet fully risen, and the water temperature has not risen. It stands to reason that the fish will not move.

But the reality is such a slap in the face, Geng Lele caught two crucian carp, and Lin Xu caught another big fish.

On the other side of the lake, Aunt Sun looked at the scene of Lin Xu walking the fish, and said curiously:
"This is different from what you analyzed."

The old grandson coughed dryly:
"Wild fishing is always full of surprises and surprises. This is also the charm of fishing. No matter how careful your analysis is, the fish will always come unexpectedly... Fishermen are often like this. Last time I caught those two black fish It’s the same when it’s time, it doesn’t play cards according to common sense at all.”

Not far away, in front of the small gazebo, brothers Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang watched Lin Xu catch the fish. They were so excited that they put down their fishing rods and ran over to watch. Although Lao Xie also wanted to go, he felt that since the younger brother could catch the fish, then my side It should be soon too.

Maybe the float will move in the next second, but you can't walk away.

I remember an old man said that once you are distracted while fishing, or drinking water, eating, going to the toilet, lighting a cigarette, etc., it will often trigger the fish.

You must concentrate and not have any carelessness.

On the shore, Shen Jiayue had already installed the copying net, and all the poles for copying the net had been pulled out, waiting for the big fish to come close and copy it out for it.

Humph, when the big fish comes up, I must take a photo.

Post in groups, Moments, or even under the topic of Linji food, let everyone take a look, my man, Shen Jiayue, is so powerful!
Lin Xu walked for about ten minutes, and the fish finally appeared.

It was a silver carp with a huge head. Judging from the wide body of the fish, this fish was no more than twenty catties smaller.

Although this weight is not as big as the few that Lao Huang sent to the store last time, it is not too small. After all, the water area is so big, and it is estimated that it has reached the growth limit.

As soon as the old grandson saw this fish, he immediately put down his fishing rod and trotted over with his scooping net:

"Yueyue, get out of the way, your net copying is too small to copy..."

This kind of big fish must be caught at one time, otherwise it will struggle in the water like a frenzy after being startled, and it may break the line group.

Today everyone's line group is average, and they are not going to catch too big fish. Who would have thought that Lin Xu could catch such a huge fish all at once?

Lin Xu supported the fishing rod and slowly pulled the fish towards the shore.

After reaching the range of the net, the old grandson grabbed the net with both hands, caught the fish's head, and then pulled the net back violently, dragging the fish to the shore abruptly.

"Wow, what a big fish!"

Everyone took out their mobile phones and took pictures together.

After everyone finished taking pictures, Lin Xu reached into the gills of the fish, lifted the head of the fish, and asked Shen Jiayue to take a picture of the catch.

After all, it's the first time fishing, so I have to take a group photo.

"I don't know how heavy this fish is..."

Shen Jiayue muttered casually during the photo shoot, and Lin Xu immediately said:

"Ninety-nine catties and three ounces... probably so, I estimated."

He originally wanted to say nineteen catties, three, two, five, but he felt that it would be bad to be too precise, and it would be better to be ambiguous.

After the photo was taken, Lin Xu started to pack the fishing gear.

Stop fishing and go fishing.

At noon today, I will focus on this fish and make a whole fish feast.

While he was busy packing his fishing gear, Shen Jiayue began to post photos of his catches everywhere, and when posting, he said modestly:

"It's only 19.3 catties, less than 20 catties. It's pretty average, not too big."

Ho Ho, such a big fish, a little Versailles is not too much, right?
After watching this fish, Geng Lele originally wanted to continue fishing, but after thinking about it, he said to Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang:

"Come on, help me lift the fish and I'll take a picture of the catch."

you shoot?

This is the fish that Uncle Lin caught. What does it have to do with you?
As soon as the two brothers expressed their doubts, Geng Lele said:

"I have several sets of simulated papers for the college entrance examination. I haven't used them very often. How about..."

Upon hearing this, the two brothers rushed to help take pictures.

Just like that, Geng Lele mentioned the fish with difficulty, asked Xie Yuhang to take a photo, and then sent it to Moments:

"Brother Xu just caught a fish. I didn't expect that I also caught one. I weighed it and it was 18.4 catties, which was slightly smaller than Brother Xu's. It was the first time I caught such a big silver carp. I took a photo to commemorate it. Unfortunately, my godfather didn't like it. Eat fish, otherwise you will have to take it home for the old man to taste."

Humph, let me write an English check, and I will be angry with you, a food lover.

After sending it out, she continued fishing contentedly with her hand pole, and the two brothers Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang saw that they could still do this, so they also took a photo with the fish.

After Uncle Lin caught the fish, we also each caught a big fish, isn't that reasonable?
Not long after, the brothers also posted photos of the catch. Chen Yan, who was visiting relatives in Xicheng, saw it and immediately asked in the group:
"Are you stabbing the silver carp's nest? Why do you have one? It's not such an exaggeration to go fishing in the black pit, right?"

Mr. Chen felt that he had missed an opportunity to rectify his name.

Such an easy fishing place, you must try it next time, and feel the joy of walking big fish!
After packing up the fishing gear, Lin Xu put on the fishing bag and walked towards the house with the big fish. He was going to put it in the pool first, dig some lotus roots later, and then officially start cooking lunch.

When he walked, Dundun followed with his little butt pouted, and occasionally wanted to stretch out his paw to pat the fish, but finally held back.

I guess I still remember the last time I took a photo of myself in the water in my hometown.

Mi Lan took the mobile phone and frantically sent messages in the girlfriends group:

"Hurry up to the Ginkgo Garden. Boss Lin has just caught a super big silver carp. He is going to eat fish at noon."

A few girlfriends didn't react at first.

Just about to ask what dishes are there, but then I thought that Boss Lin made it, and any dishes would not be unpalatable, so they cleaned up separately and planned to come to Gingko Garden to have a big meal together.

Lin Xu came to the kitchen and put the fish into the pool.

After a while, dig the lotus root and start to clean up the fish.

Mi Lan followed in and said:
"The meat is in the refrigerator, and most of the ingredients are in the storage room next to it. In this pot is the glutinous rice that was soaked yesterday... I want you to make some glutinous rice and lotus root. I heard that the glutinous rice needs to be soaked in advance, so I'm afraid it will be delayed. , so people got involved yesterday.”

Lin Xu opened the basin next to it and looked, and found that half of the basin had soaked glutinous rice.

If you want to make all glutinous rice lotus root, you can make a big pot.

He smiled and said:

"When the lotus root is dug up, I will start to do it."

Putting the fishing bag in the car, he carried the shovel and took Dundun and Shen Jiayue to dig lotus roots together.

Mi Lan followed behind with a bamboo basket, ready to help.

By the pond, Han Shuzhen was waiting to see old Shen Zhongyu.

As a result, the float did not move at all.

When Lin Xu and the others came to dig lotus roots, she completely gave up on Old Shen and went to the lotus pond to play with Dundun.

Aunt Sun, who originally wanted to experience fishing, also gave up fishing and went to watch lotus root digging together.

At this moment, most of the water in the lotus pond has dried up, just like wasteland. When digging, it feels like digging sweet potatoes in the ground, which looks very interesting.

And Xie Yufei and Xie Yuhang, this time also went to the ginkgo forest with Su Peipei to take pictures.

In an instant, there were only three fishermen left by the bustling pond.

It was good that someone was with you just now, but now there is no one around, Shen Guofu is somewhat boring.

He looked at the motionless fish float, then at Xie Baomin and Lao Suntou, and felt that it was not a problem to wait so long, so he tied the rope and went to brag to them with a cigar in his mouth.

Not long after, the Big Three of the Air Force squatted by the pond with a cigar in their mouth, staring at the water in a daze.

In the end, it was the old grandson who spoke first:
"Maybe we don't agree with the feng shui here, and the temperature hasn't risen yet. Wait a minute. The opening period for fishing in winter is usually in the afternoon. There's a lot of hope."

"Yes, it's okay even if there are no fish in the morning, just continue fishing after lunch."

"You have to be patient when fishing, but you can't be impatient."

Several people encouraged each other and continued fishing.

On the other side, Lin Xu took a shovel and dug up a whole slender, crispy lotus root, which looked like five or six knots.

But the noodle lotus root, because he wanted to make glutinous rice lotus root, he dug several roots, each with several knots, more than one meter long, very heavy in his hand.

"The quality of this lotus root is good. I'll dig some later when I leave and eat it at home."

milan said:

"Dig more, anyway, if you can't eat it all, you'll just rot in the ground... Xiao Lin, what do you think is the best way to arrange the meals we have all year round here?"

Lin Xu thought for a while and said:
"In spring, all kinds of wild vegetables are the mainstay. There should be a lot of wild vegetables in this garden in spring, right? In addition to wild vegetables, all kinds of mushrooms, Chinese toon leaves, bamboo shoots, elm money, sophora japonica, etc. are all favorites of customers."

Upon hearing this, Mi Lan felt that this made sense, so she asked again:
"What about summer?"

"In summer, I usually come here to avoid the heat. I can cook some fresh side dishes, and some uncommon ones, such as lotus root belt, fried pumpkin flowers, fried lotus flowers, cicada monkeys, various barbecues and seasonal dishes."

He scraped off the soil from the lotus root and continued:
"As for autumn and winter, there are all kinds of harvest dishes, such as sweet potatoes and taro, together with lotus root, ginkgo, chicken, duck, fish and goose, stewed in an iron pot...Anyway, each season has a different theme, so that it can be unique and unique. With unique features, tourists are naturally willing to come.”

The best way to manage this kind of place is to find someone who understands ecological gardens, and transform the entire ginkgo garden into a place where you can eat, drink and have fun.

What the capital lacks most now is short-distance leisure places.

If Mi Lan's ginkgo orchard is done well, the business will definitely explode in the future.

Especially in late autumn, the ground is covered with yellow leaves. After the fame spreads, people who just take wedding photos can stand here.

After all, who could resist a grove of golden leaves?
While chatting, Lin Xu saw that the lotus leaves had dried up near the water, but they hadn't fallen off and were still intact, so he picked a few pieces.

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

"What are you picking this for, Xu Bao?"

"It's used for steaming lotus root meatballs. It can be placed underneath to prevent sticking. At the same time, it can also make the steamed meatballs have a faint lotus fragrance, which makes them more delicious."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue also picked a few slices:

"Put it in the car and take it home later, so that tomorrow morning you can steam me delicious food with a lotus leaf flavor."

After finishing speaking, she said to Han Shuzhen:
"Mom, you can stay with Dad at our house tonight, let Dad have a game addiction, and let's eat delicious food together tomorrow morning."

"Okay, your dad bought a game console secretly, and he was bored playing at home by himself, just let him have a good time at night."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiayue persuaded with the appearance of a young adult:
"Mom, how nice it is to play with dad. The game is very fun. The more I play, the more I discover it. No wonder games are called the ninth art. Some games are really well done."

Han Shuzhen waved her hands in disgust:

"Tch, I don't want to play, Dundun... Do you want to pick a leaf too? Come and pick it with grandma."

Lin Xu finished picking the lotus leaves and was about to go back to the kitchen to make lunch. Aunt Sun followed and asked in a low voice:

"Xiao Xu, just now you mentioned the method of steaming meatballs with lotus leaves, how did you do it?"

"This is a very simple lady, I will teach you later, basically you can understand it at a glance, it is not difficult at all."

"That's fine, it's just that the aunt will help you today."

When he came to the door of the kitchen, Lin Xu first washed the large pieces of sludge on the surface of the lotus root with a water hose.

After rinsing, it was taken to the kitchen, ready to make glutinous rice and lotus root first.

The so-called glutinous rice lotus root is to put the soaked glutinous rice into the lotus root, seal it and stew it with sugar water. Because some osmanthus honey is habitually sprinkled on the plate, it is also called osmanthus glutinous rice lotus or osmanthus honey lotus.

This is a typical Jiangnan dish, but now it has been spread all over the country and has become a favorite of many people.

Wash the lotus root and cut it section by section. The noodle lotus root is generally short and thick. Use a scraper to remove the skin of the lotus root, wash it again, and then bring the soaked glutinous rice to prepare.

Cut off one end of the lotus root with an oblique knife, grab the glutinous rice and pour it into the hole of the lotus root.

The reason why the oblique knife is cut is for the convenience of sealing, and the sealing is stronger and not easy to break.

When Aunt Sun saw Lin Xu doing this, she washed her hands and began to help. This is very simple and there is no difficulty. The only thing to remember is to gently poke each hole with chopsticks to ensure that there are no gaps in the lotus root hole.

After it is full, put the cut lotus root back to its original place, pierce it with a toothpick, and seal the mouth, so that a glutinous rice lotus root is ready.

There were a lot of people today, and there were still people coming later, so Lin Xu made about ten festivals of lotus root.

If there are any leftovers, Mi Lan can also take them back.

All done, put into a large pot, add water to cover the lotus root, put a few large pieces of old brown sugar in it, and a small bowl of washed and pitted dried red dates.

Putting red dates can enrich the taste of lotus root, and it can also make the color of lotus root more ruddy and beautiful.

Bring the water in the pot to a boil over high heat, then cover the pot and turn to medium-low heat to simmer.

The lotus root needs to be stewed for more than one and a half hours to be ready, so it should be done in advance so as not to delay eating at noon.

After adjusting the fire, Lin Xu didn't rush to make meatballs, but took out the big fish that was dying from the pool, first hit the head with the back of a knife a few times, and then used the tip of the kitchen knife to hit the bottom of the fish head, in the middle of the pectoral fin Take a stab.

This is the heart of the fish, and after piercing it, the blood of the fish can flow out as much as possible.

"Is there still such a way?"

Aunt Sun was amazed to see that she had never bled fish on purpose before killing fish at home.

Lin Xu said:

"After bloodletting, the fish meat will be whiter and tenderer, and the fishy smell will also be reduced a lot. If you feel that the heart is not easy to handle, you can chop a knife at the base of the tail. The blood can also be drained here."

"Next time Lao Sun catches fish, I'll give it a try."

When the blood of the fish was almost gone, Lin Xu took the electric scale scraper and scraped the scales carefully.

He has obsessive-compulsive disorder, and every time he eats fish, as long as he eats fish scales, he will immediately lose his appetite.

Especially the scales on the belly and spine of the fish are easily overlooked.

Scrape the scales of the fish, cut open the belly of the fish with a knife, and take out the internal organs.

The fish is big and has a lot of viscera. Lin Xu took out a small pot and cleaned it up later, just to make dried fish offal.

Then use a kitchen knife to cut off the entire huge fish head from behind the pectoral fins, cut the fish head open from below, and remove the gills, teeth and some connective tissue in the mouth.

Turn it over again, put a flower knife on the thick part of the meat, spread it evenly with scallions and ginger slices, a little salt and light soy rice wine, and marinate.

While busy, Mi Lan walked in with two cups of hot tea, saw that the fish head had been removed, and asked curiously:

"What are you going to do with this fish head, Xiao Lin? Braised in soy sauce, or chopped pepper?"

Lin Xu smiled and shook his head:

"Not at all. I'm going to make the famous fish head pancake in Yanjing. It's cold, so eat something warmer."

fish!head!Bubble!cake? ! ! !

Both Mi Lan and Aunt Sun were a little surprised.

Because of this dish, it seems that the family can't always make the taste of the restaurant.

Since Lin Xu made a move today, there is absolutely nothing to say about the taste.

And maybe it can reveal the secret of the delicious fish head cake.

Thinking of this, Mi Lan asked curiously:

"Can I watch this... while it's being made?"

"Okay, there's nothing secret about it, as long as you know how to do it, you can do it at home."

When Aunt Sun heard this, a puzzled expression appeared on her face:

"Your uncle Sun asked me to make it a few times before, but every time I made it, it was either fishy or not fragrant enough, and the soup was not as thick as the restaurant. Is it thickened?"

Lin Xu shook his head:

"It has nothing to do with thickening the sauce. It's because the gelatin in the fish head hasn't boiled out... Watch me make it later. After reading it, you will know the key to the delicious fish head cake."
