Chapter 93 Stewed Fish and Drink
Chapter 93 Fish Stewed Drink
Herodian!
The two horses stopped one after another.
White air kept spurting out from the nostrils. It was obvious that the two horses had been running for a long time. It can be said that they had reached the limit of their physical fitness. After stopping, they didn't even want to shake their tails, but just gasped quickly.
Merica waited for Zhang Chi to catch up and said with a smile: "Your riding skills are good, I can't even get rid of you."
Zhang Chi replied with a smile: "Don't put gild on my face. If I wanted to shake it off, I would have shaken it off. Moreover, it is not appropriate for you to ride this horse. My Chiyan Mountain is not only my daily riding, but Cannon also made a saddle for me during this period.
Otherwise, I wouldn't even have the ability to follow you and eat dust."
Zhang Chi is telling the truth. At the beginning, Zhang Chi could still keep up with Merica's steps, but the difference in level between the two is really big. You can't expect that after studying for a year, you can catch up with the strict equestrian training that Merica has accepted since childhood. Then you are disrespectful to your profession.
When Merica heard Zhang Chi say this, she said, "I didn't expect you to be quite considerate."
"I'm so fucking. I know that my level is improved a few months ago, but it's far worse than the cowboys. My efforts this year will catch up with other people's level for more than ten years, which is too much for me.
Okay, the horse has almost run away. We have been sweating for a year, so go back early,” said Zhang Chi.
Merica had run enough, nodded, so the two rode their horses towards the direction of the stable.
It was originally the way back, so the two of them arrived at the gate of the stable without walking for long.
He led two horses in, first removed the saddle sweat pad, and then wiped the sweat from the horse with a warm towel. If the horse caught a cold, some people would look at it. As long as the sweat was not cleaned up immediately on that day, the horse would definitely catch a cold.
After wiping the hair on the horse with a warm towel, they wiped it with a dry towel. They touched the hair with their hands, but couldn't feel too much moisture. They tried it under their armpits, and then wrapped the horse in the compartment of the stable.
"Do you want the big Niu Erhu?"
"Don't worry about them anymore. Just take care of yourself, hurry up and go back to the house to take a hot shower and change into dry clothes."
After saying that, Zhang Chi took the lead out of the stable. After watching Merica come out, he closed the stable door and trotted in the direction of the house.
Zhang Chi ran ahead, while Merica followed closely behind.
After running into the house and closing the door, Zhang Chi looked at the fireplace almost burning, so he went outside to take a bundle of firewood and hugged it in his hand and returned to the house, and added the firewood to the fireplace.
The two of them were crazy in the snow for a long time, so don't underestimate riding, especially such sudden turn and stops, which are really exhausting. Anyway, Melika doesn't know what to do, but Zhang Chi's clothes inside have been put on his body, which is very uncomfortable.
No matter how uncomfortable it was, Zhang Chi knew to let the lady come first, so he told Melika to let her go and take a shower first.
Merica was not polite either. She put her clothes in the car. After taking them away, she went into the bathroom. Merica looked at them and found out how Zhang Chi’s things were used.
After taking a shower and changing into dry clothes, Melika saw Zhang Chi squatting in the living room and choosing beans, so she put the changed clothes back into the car and turned into the room.
"I'll choose beans, you can go in and wash it."
"OK!"
Zhang Chi can no longer bear the sticky feeling on his body now, and threw down the beans in his hand and happily entered the bathroom.
If a man takes a bath for more than ten minutes, it is equivalent to a marathon. People like Zhang Chi usually pour water for twenty seconds, soap for twenty seconds, and rinse it with water for ten seconds. It is always done in two or three minutes.
When Zhang Chi came out of the bathroom, she found that Merica had picked a large pot of beans. When she saw this, Zhang Chi thought to herself: It’s bad!
When I got closer, I saw that Merica had chosen beans one by one.
"Oh, sister! Do you not look at insects when you choose beans?" Zhang Chi said with a wry smile.
"Will there be insects?"
Merica didn't expect that there were insects in the beans.
"The beans have not been treated with medicine and have not been treated. Of course there are insects growing naturally." Zhang Chi said to Merica, threw away the towel on his hand, squatted down and started picking it up in the basin.
"Don't choose, so many are enough, there are only two of us in total, only twelve kilograms of fish alone, just make less side dishes," said Zhang Chi.
"I can eat fish jelly tomorrow after eating today," said Merica.
"Hey, you really live in China. You have to eat fish and eat fish frozen." Zhang Chile was happy.
Merica said: "Of course I know. Are there any other dishes to choose?"
"It's gone, it's gone, you can rest." Zhang Chi didn't dare to let it choose vegetables again. Now, Zhang Chi has to rework the pile of beans and pick out the worms in the beans.
Merica walked around the house, but didn't even see a TV. She felt that there was nothing to play with for a moment, so she turned to Zhang Chi's side again.
"What pot to stew it in tonight?"
This is nothing to say. There is such a large iron pot under the corridor. You can't use the big pot to change to the small pots in the kitchen. With that thing, you can't cook the fish brought by Merica even in three pots.
"There is an iron pot on the corridor frame" Zhang Chi replied.
Merica said: "I'll move it back into the house."
"What do we do to move it? Let's eat it directly outside, so we don't worry about the cold around the pot. The key is to move it into the house. What if I get poisoned, I dare not guarantee it," said Zhang Chi.
Merica thought for a while and said, "Then it's up to you. Do I need me to help with the following things? If I don't help, I will do my business."
Zhang Chi thought to himself: If you help, I might as well be busy by myself.
So he said, "You are busy with yours, there is nothing to do next."
Hearing Zhang Chi say this, Melika returns to the car and gets the notebook and handles business directly on the dining table.
Zhang Chi passed the beans twice, picked out more than ten beans with insects, and then put them in the water to clean them.
Put the washed beans aside, peel the potatoes, cut them into hob pieces, take out the tofu, cut off a small piece, and put the remaining tofu directly into the basket and hang it outside to make frozen tofu.
I found a handful of fresh red peppers, a handful of green peppers, green onions, garlic and so on, and Zhang Chi began to kill fish.
A twelve pound big carp can’t be killed directly. You have to use a hammer to hit the forehead and knock it out to kill it.
He took the fish out of the box and threw it directly on the snow outside. After letting the fish jump a few times, Zhang Chi walked to the fish with a hammer and came in a flash of his head.
Dong!
The fish stopped moving for a moment.
He took it back to the corridor frame, and used a knife to cut each head and tail. He gently patted the fish meat with the blade body, and pulled the fish tendons, and then the tendons on both sides were removed, which made the scales and cut the belly.
Zhang Chi found that the fish belly was full of fish roe.
Zhang Chi liked this thing very much. He immediately took a bowl of fish roe and put it on. Except for the fat, he would throw it out as garbage.
After finishing the fish, Zhang Chi put some flower knife on the fish and marinated it with salt and a little cooking oil for a while. Such a big fish has a strong smell of earth and fish, and if it weren't for marinating it, it wouldn't be able to cover the smell.
While pickling, Zhang Chi patted some garlic, cut some ginger, and stopped the green onions. Of course, coriander is indispensable for cooking fish, and Zhang Chi loves coriander.
"Do you eat coriander?"
Some people don’t like to eat, so Zhang Chi asked Merica.
"I'm fine with nothing," said Merica.
After hearing this, Zhang Chi continued to work hard.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the fish was almost marinated. Zhang Chi grabbed the flour and patted the fish, making the fish stick to the flour.
Next is to create a fire.
First light the alcohol block, then scatter the chopped firewood, leaving a certain gap between the firewood, so that the wind can pass by and the fire in the stove can be larger.
Waiting for the heat, Zhang Chi slipped the pot with oil first, waited for the pot to scoop out the oil from the slide pot when it heated, put the cool oil in the pot, then grabbed the fish head and tail and put the fish in the pot.
Honey... it's!
The fish body combined with the oil in the pot made a heart-wrenching sound.
Because there is flour, the fish skin will not be fryed. When I was about to turn the fish over, the fried side had a little burnt yellow, and the flour attached to the fish skin had already bubbled.
This is the best state because these small bubbles will absorb the soup, which will make the fish skin very delicious.
After the fish on both sides were frying, Zhang Chi pushed the fish slightly to the side with a spoon, and started to fry the ingredients with the fried fish, ginger and garlic can be put in it at this time.
Wait until the aroma is fragrant, just add water. The water will pass through the fish body. Then put soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and seasonings like fermented black beans into the pot.
The whole fish soup was covered with sauce, covered the pot and started to cook.
After waiting for the fish to cook for a while, when the pot started to vent, Zhang Chi had already opened the lid of the bowl and turned the noodles around the edge of the pot. This was the staple food tonight.
At this time, put all the side dishes such as potatoes, beans, tofu, etc. into the pot, cover the pot and continue to stew.
Once again, when the pot was simmering, the aroma of fish came out along the lid of the pot, straightening the nose.
At this time, you have to change to low heat and simmer slowly over low heat to stew the flavor into the fish. Of course, the umami flavor of the fish will also be stewed into the pancakes along the pot and the side dishes.
After stewing, close the juice over high heat so that the fish soup will become thicker. This is the most essential part of a pot. If you pour rice on, Zhang Chi can eat two large bowls.
"Melica! Eat".
Zhang Chi carried two chairs, placed them directly to the side of the pot, and invited Merica to come out for dinner.
As soon as Merica went out, she said, "It smells so good."
When Merica's eyes fell on a bottle of white wine placed on the edge of the pot, she asked Zhang Chi, "Is there still a drink?"
"How can you do it if you don't drink some alcohol to drive away the cold? Come on, if you don't dislike it, put on this military coat."
As he said that, Zhang Chi put on his military coat and sat on the chair.
