Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 71 The Fat Eel

Han Li shook his head with a smile when he heard this voice. He was very happy but also a little depressed.

If I clean up Zhang San when the time comes, he will become a dog that fell into the water twice and was beaten up, and I feel a little weird in my heart.

But now there are mostly elements of joy, and it is obviously not possible to go up the mountain at this time today.

Reward yourself with something delicious that night. I don’t know how it tastes like fried bacon with chili.

Just as Han Li was thinking about it, he saw the group of little fellows in the village returning from the river, carrying a snakeskin bag in their hands.

"Tie Dan, what are you trying to catch?"

"Brother Han, we touched some eels by the river, and we are going home to roast them here."

When Han Li heard that the eels were caught, he almost slapped himself on the forehead.

Although he seldom went to the river, why didn't he think of the rice field eel?

This month is the time when rice field eels are at their fattest, but in this day and age, everyone doesn't like to eat them very much.

Because rice field eels have a strong earthy smell, heavy oil and heavy ingredients are needed to taste delicious.

But in this era, all kinds of materials are not very complete, and oil is an item that cannot be more precious than precious.

Most people put oil on a drop-by-drop basis, and no one is willing to pour half a pot of oil for frying a dish.

Han Li opened the bag and took a look.There are several eels in it, all of which are fat, big and long.

All of them are more than 60 centimeters long, and it is estimated that one will weigh eight or nine.

As far as the physique of these eels is concerned, if you take a cold look, those who don't know it will think it is a snake.

Han Li looked at the rice field eel in the bag and became more and more greedy. The names of dishes such as stir-fried rice field eel, spicy eel, and shredded eel in oil had come to his mind.

After decades of storage, this kind of eel is definitely a very rare rarity.

"Tie Dan, give me these eels in exchange. How about I exchange them with sugar?"

"Brother Han, you can take it if you want to eat it. There are a lot of rice field eels and they are easy to catch. We will catch some more later."

"How can I do that? I can't take advantage of your children. Besides, I plan to trade rice eels with you for a long time."

"Brother Han, your taste is really weird. This stuff doesn't taste good at all, and it will go bad after two days at most. What do you want so much for?"

"It's fine for me to eat it as a cornbread. If I touch a rice field eel in the future, I will exchange it for me. Next time I go to the county town, I will buy you biscuits to eat. But be careful not to be bitten by a rice field eel."

"It's only fools who are bitten by them."

Han Li asking the children to help him touch the eels was just a way out, and he would catch some if he had nothing to do.

Rice field eel is a good thing. It has the effects of nourishing blood, nourishing qi, reducing inflammation, strengthening muscles and bones, and eliminating rheumatism.

It has a good effect on insufficient Qi and blood, palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, sore limbs, and weakness of waist and feet.

It doesn't matter even if he can't finish it, he plans to grind all the extra eels into powder.

Then send it back to Sijiu City and use it as a health product for Han Pa and Han Ma to take daily, at least it will make their bodies stronger.

Now it is a pure natural wild eel, which is not comparable to the heavy metal and drug-excessive eel of later generations.

After Han Li got home, he started cleaning up the eels, which were not easy at all.

Its skin has a lot of mucus and is very slippery, but it can't make any waves in Han Li's hands.

Flick the eel lightly with your fingers and it will die, and then it will be disembowelled and its internal organs taken out.

After rinsing the killed eel, sprinkle some salt and rub it vigorously to remove the earthy smell as much as possible.

Then rinse it clean, cut it into sections, and Han Li marinated it with white wine and sliced ​​ginger.

He lit the lantern and sat on the kang with a book to read.

At this time, He Mi pushed open the street door and came in. There were a few steamed buns mixed with noodles in the basin in her hand and said.

"I haven't eaten yet. Today we are steaming steamed buns over there, so I made a few more and brought them here for you."

Han Li: "I won't say thank you to you, but you've come here. I bought some eels from Tie Dan just now, and you can eat some at my place later."

He Mi: "No, Hongmin and the others are still waiting for me to go back for dinner."

"Well then, the rice field eel is being pickled now, why don't you come over later, the rice field eel is a good thing."

"It's not good..."

"What's wrong, if it weren't for the fact that there are too few rice field eels, I would have personally sent them to you."

Han Li passed the basin that He Mi brought while speaking, and the palms of the two inevitably touched each other.

Han Li wanted to take the opportunity to hold the other's little hand, but seeing He Mi blushed, he retracted his hand and had no choice but to give up.

After Hao Hongmin's family sent steamed buns to Han Li in He Mi, Yang Xiuying said at this time.

"Hey, everyone said that Han Li and He Mi met the wolf that day, is there something else going on? Otherwise, why would she say that she helped Han Li steam the steamed buns?"

Yun Yingying: "What else can happen? A weak woman meets a wild wolf. At this time, a hero descends from the sky and puts on a show of a hero saving the beauty. The beauty's heart is touched, and she is determined to repay the hero for saving her life..."

When Yun Yingying said this, she was taken aback for a moment, and then said as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, I haven't seen a wolf killed yet. If only I went up the mountain with Han Li that day."

The others didn't notice Yun Yingying's strange behavior, but her twin sister gave her sister a meaningful look.

This silly sister seems to have forgotten that as long as two people are at a certain distance, they can feel each other's strong emotional fluctuations.

But she won't poke her sister, it's good to think about it now.

Since coming here, the family has not been in touch with them, and it is not sure what happened in the future.

They may be taken back to Sijiu City to find an agency to work, or they may be sent to the farm to participate in more arduous labor.

The situation of the two Yun family sisters was noticed by Hao Hongmin. She glanced in the direction of the next door thoughtfully, and finally sighed inwardly.

He Mi stood at the door and took two deep breaths before entering the yard with the basin.

Then the laughter of several girls came out, and Han Li's side was after He Mi left.

He started to heat the oil in a pan, fry the surface of the rice field eel until golden, and then take it out for later use.

Stir-fry the ginger, garlic and chili until fragrant, and add the miso bought from the villagers' homes.

Put the rice field eel, add water, simmer, boil the water, open the salt, and then you can eat it when it is cooked. This taste is amazing.

After eating and drinking, Han Li took a flashlight, bucket, and snakeskin bag and went for a walk by the small river.

It's better to catch eels at night, since I can't sleep now anyway, so it's better to come out and prepare more goods.
