I run a farm, how can I become a zoo?

Chapter 264: Make a Pickled Fish
'Eat, but in this weather, can we catch snakeheaded fish? ? '

Xu Suxin still knew about the weather where snakehead fish appeared.

For example, when the weather is hot, snakeheaded fish will float up and stay under some weeds, looking for some fish to eat.

And now, it's already autumn.

The temperature has also dropped recently, so whether it can be caught is still a question.

"Haha, don't worry, wife. Fortunately, the weather today is 22 degrees. Snakehead fish will still be out at this time."

'Wait a moment, I'll chop down a bamboo and tie it with a line and a fishhook. '

Su Mu smiled slightly and quickly chopped down a piece of bamboo.

Remove the sharp parts.

Only stronger areas remain.

The fishing rod made of mottled bamboo is about five meters long.

A five-meter fishing rod, coupled with a 1.5-meter line, is completely enough.

There are actually several ways to catch snakeheaded fish.

The first one is to hit with a lure.

However, Su Mu didn't buy a lure, so he had to settle for the next best thing and use spotted bamboo as a fishing rod.

And the bait hung on the fishhook.

You can use a frog.

But, frogs are beneficial animals after all.

So there is absolutely no need to use this.

Then another option is to hang pork on the fishhook and hang a small piece of meat to catch snakeheaded fish.

In fact, this method is just a bit difficult to wait.

If you see snakehead fish appearing near some weeds.

Then you just need to walk over gently.

Then slowly lower the fishhook to the side of the black fish, then move it up and down to create movement, staying for a second or two in between.

Most snakehead fish will bite the hook.

'Daughter-in-law, let's go. '

Soon, Su Mu had all the things ready for fishing snakeheaded fish.

Then he brought a bucket and set off with Xu Suxin.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the water storage lake together.

As soon as he came over, Su Mu found several large black shadows in the middle of the water storage lake.

"Brother Mu, look carefully, the one in the middle couldn't be herring, right?"

'My dear, you've grown so big. '

Xu Suxin also saw it and immediately said excitedly.

After all, look at this black shadow.

I'm afraid even a herring weighs eight or nine pounds.

'Well, it must be a herring. It looks so big. '

'Today we mainly get a black fish. If it's a black carp, we'll get another one another day to taste the taste of the herring. '

Su Mu smiled slightly, and then looked around the water storage lake.

Not long after, he heard a sound coming from the weeds not far away.

It was the sound of snakeheads biting.

"Daughter-in-law, there is some movement over there. Let's go over there and walk more slowly."

"Uh-huh."

Xu Suxin followed Su Mu cautiously.

Soon they came to the weeds.

As soon as he came over, Su Mu saw the figure of a black fish floating on the water.

It looks like he weighs about five or six pounds.

This scene made Su Mu feel happy.

It seems that the pickled fish at noon today is available!

Soon, Su Mu hung the pork on the fishhook, then stretched out the bamboo, slowly put the pork on the fishhook into the water.

He started to move up and down, making noise to attract the black fish to bite the bait.

hold head high!
It only takes a moment.

A black fish bit directly on the hook.

Even pull the fishing line deeper.This scene happened quickly.

But Su Mu has quick eyes and quick hands.

Two seconds after the black fish bit the hook, he suddenly lifted it up.

For an instant.

A snakehead fish, about five kilograms, was pulled directly from the water.

He was directly pulled ashore by the fishing line.

As soon as it landed, the snakehead fish began to swing its body vigorously.

Trying to get back into the water.

But it has already come up, how could Su Mu let it go back.

After all, this black fish is the pickled fish at noon.

Su Mu held the fishing line, put the black fish in the bucket, and then helped it get the hook.

Immediately put the lid back on while removing the hook.

"Brother Mu, this method of fishing for black fish is too simple. It has only been a while since we caught such a big one."

Although Xu Suxin had seen Su Mu fishing several times.

But at that time, all Su Mu fished was grass carp or carp.

As for Heiyu, this was the first time I saw Su Mu Diao.

"Haha, this is actually the easiest way."

"The first thing is to look for the location where snakehead fish are found. If you don't find it, it's completely useless to just look for a place near weeds."

'And we were very lucky. We heard the noise as soon as we came over, so we were able to catch this snakehead fish so quickly. '

"Let's go, let's talk as we go, lest this snakehead fish dies. If it dies, the meat won't taste good."

Dead fish meat is not delicious at all.

Not as smooth as live fish meat.

'Hmm, so that's it. Indeed, we are very lucky. We have gained something as soon as we came here. At noon today, we had pickled fish. '

'But this snakehead fish grows very fast. It's only been a few months and it already weighs about five kilograms. '

'After all, this guy is a carnivore, and there are many small fish in my water storage lake, not many black fish, so they naturally grow fast. '

'Actually, I'm thinking about feeding some seabass when the time comes. The seabass is used to make steamed fish. As long as the ingredients are mixed well, the taste will be very delicious. '

In fact, if you use a suitable one for each type of fish, the taste will naturally be good.

Like grass carp, it is suitable for boiled fish or braised fish.

As for carp, you can use it to make sweet and sour carp or braised carp.

As for black fish, it is best to use it to make pickled fish.

That way, it will only taste better.

Soon, Su Mu and the others returned home with the results of the victory.

After returning home, Su Mu also brought a scale and weighed the black fish.

Excluding the weight of the bucket, the black fish weighs a full five pounds and seven taels.

If you remove the things in your stomach, it would be about five pounds and one-two taels.

'Kill the fish, kill the fish. '

After weighing the black fish, Su Mu directly brought a knife and cutting board.

Then he started killing the snakehead fish in the yard.

Shoushan and Xiaojiu smelled the smell of blood and immediately surrounded them.

The things in the black fish's stomach were inedible, so Su Mu threw them directly to Shoushan and Xiaojiu for them to eat.

After cleaning the contents of the snakeheaded fish's belly, you can start to fillet it.

Of course, the scales on the black fish have also been removed.

If you don’t have a special tool for removing fish scales at home.

Then you can put some salt on the appearance of the black fish.

In this way, the mucus on the snakehead can be reduced, making it easier to grasp the fish scales better.

In this case, it will naturally be cleared much faster.

After the black fish was filleted, some salt was put into the Su Mu fish meat to make the fish taste better.

After the salt has marinated in the fish for a few minutes, you can pour in some light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and then coat it with a little starch.

The fish cooked in this way will be more tender.

After getting these done, the next step is to wash and cook the rice.
