As the crispy shell cracks gently, the white fish meat inside is revealed, as well as various vegetables included.
Due to the various spices and seasonings that have been applied in advance, the color of the vegetables is slightly brown, and the attractive aroma is exuded under the fish meat.
"Try it, everyone, how do the vegetables taste like this?" Su Qingluan said, using chopsticks to slowly open the belly of the fish.
As she moved, bright brown soup slowly flowed out from the belly of the fish, and she said to her younger brothers and sisters: "I didn't put Evodia in this fish. You can eat it if it's not spicy."
"What is Evodia?" Su Xueyan asked in confusion.
Su Qingluan blinked at her: "It's a condiment that makes your mouth hurt after eating it."
The little girl immediately remembered the painful experience of eating onions before, and quickly shook her little head like a rattle: "I don't want to eat anything with Evodia!"
Su Xuanhe curled his lips when he heard this: "Hmph, coward, I'm not afraid!"
The little girl was laughed at and pouted unhappily. But she didn't become stubborn and insist on "challenging the impossible" - anyway, she didn't eat anything that would hurt her mouth.
Su Guangfu and Yang were the first to taste the vegetables inside the fish belly.
Yang's eyes lit up: "These lotus root slices are soaked in the fresh flavor of fish, and they are even more delicious than usual!"
Su Guangfu also nodded: "The fish inside is very tender."
Su Qingluan nodded: "Because although the fish skin on the outside has been roasted until crispy, there are vegetables in the belly of the fish, which can seep out the soup when it is heated, keeping the fish inside delicious, smooth and tender."
Su Xuanhe had black marks on the side of his mouth as he ate, and he couldn't stop eating: "The skin of this fish is crispy and fragrant. It is different from the dry grilled fish I have eaten!"
Su Qingluan pointed to the lard on hand and said: "When I grill fish, I brush it with a layer of oil every time I turn it over. This allows a layer of oil to adhere to the surface of the fish skin and bake it naturally. The fish is crispy and not dry.”
"The bean sprouts here are more delicious than the vegetables in the fish soup!" Su Xueyan's eyes turned into two crescents as she ate.
Seeing that her sister loved to eat, Su Qingluan gave her some bean sprouts in front of him: "Because only the soup of the vegetables itself is used as the 'soup base' to absorb the delicious taste of the surrounding fish, it is naturally richer and more delicious than the taste in the fish soup." fragrant."
As he said that, he took off the hottest one and glanced at his younger brother pointedly: "I said some people just laughed at my sister because she was very impatient. Here is a grilled fish with a lot of Evodia. , do you want to try it?"
Then he smiled at his parents and said: "Dad, grandma, my daughter likes spicy food. Although this fish is just to satisfy her craving, the taste is indeed a bit strong. Dad and mom can try it less first, and then eat it if it suits your taste. "
Su Guangfu and Yang had only seen dogwood in Tusu wine during the Chinese New Year before, and they didn't add much.
In the past, due to the expensive seasonings, the family basically had no money to buy many spices except coarse salt and a small amount of soy sauce and vinegar. Therefore, the couple had no idea of the specific spiciness of Evodia.
Therefore, both of them were a little cautious when taking off their chopsticks.
This is the wisdom of adults.
However, there is a brave kid here - Su Xiaoer, a child who does not have the wisdom of an adult, but Su Qingluan's words just now made Cai Chenggong arouse his unwillingness to admit defeat.
So with the idea of "let you see how brave a real man is", Su Xuanhe straightened his back and quickly launched an "attack" towards the grilled fish that the sister said was "the spiciest and most mouth-heavy". ".
With a "click", Su Xuanhe tore off a large piece of fish with chopsticks.
Since this fish has much more spices than the other two, and there are still particles of various seasonings on the fish skin, Su Qingluan couldn't help but remind her: "Put the seasonings on the fish skin before eating." Give it a shake, otherwise it will be too much."
I never thought that it would be a good thing if she didn't say this, but as soon as she said this, it made her naughty brother even more unconvinced.
He held a small bowl filled with fish and vegetables and said, "With just such a spicy taste, I won't cry like Sanya!"
After saying that, he began to dig into the food in the bowl.
At the beginning, Su Xuanhe's movements were like a storm. But after a while, his movements began to move slower and slower, slower and slower.
Moreover, a blush began to appear on his little wheat-colored face due to running around outside every day, and beads of sweat began to form on his forehead.
Su Guangfu, who was sitting next to Su Xuanhe, saw his son's reaction and whispered: "Don't be brave if you can't eat it."
Yang also noticed that Su Xuanhe's reaction was not right, so he came over and asked, "Son, are you eating too much spicy food?" Then she turned around and went to bring Su Xuanhe some water.
Su Qingluan had also been watching her brother's reaction all morning. She frowned slightly and turned around to get some of the burritos that were left over every day to relieve her brother's spicy taste.
Su Xuanhe has been stubborn since the beginning and refused to eat cake or drink water.
But then he felt the pain in his mouth getting worse and worse, and the pain made him dizzy. He had to admit defeat, picked up the tea bowl filled with water, and ate the burrito handed over by his sister.
However, he was very aggrieved when eating and drinking, and tears kept rolling in his eyes - as if it was such a shame to "give up" because he couldn't eat spicy food.
Especially, when he saw Su Qingluan calmly putting the very spicy fish with the skin into his mouth and chewing it without any emotion, he even had a look of admiration on his face.
The happiest person was naturally the little girl Su Xueyan - she had just been laughed at by her brother for not being able to eat spicy food, but in the end, her brother himself was tortured by the pungency of Evodia to tears.
She clapped her little hands happily: "Brother, it's embarrassing to cry!"
This time, it's Su Xuanhe, the older brother's turn, to pout.
Su Qingluan was also in a good mood. On the one hand, she thought it was funny and cute that her little brother wanted to save face and suffer. On the other hand, it was natural that he had eaten such spicy and satisfying food for the first time in a long time.
For a person who doesn't like spicy food, it has been nearly two months since he traveled through time. Not to mention spicy food, even the salty and sweet flavors were unsustainable in the beginning. It was simply a human suffering.
Although the spiciness of Evodia is still somewhat lacking compared to chili peppers, and it is spicy and slightly bitter, without the spicy and fragrant taste of chili peppers, but for her now, it is enough to satisfy her cravings.
After all, in an era when iron pots and shovels are considered "luxury goods", how much more luxury can you ask for?
Soon, all three fish were wiped out.
Facts have proved that, except for Su Qingluan, who is a real spicy food lover, even my parents can only eat medium spicy food before they can't stand it.
In the end, because the food was not enough, Su Qingluan had to make the food from the spiciest fish into a burrito, and put sweet jam made from "Sour Gou'er" in it to relieve the spiciness, so that Su Guangfu and Yang could eat it. Next - As for the other two children, this level can be considered a "highly difficult challenge".
Su Xueyan naturally stayed away from this kind of "difficult challenge". Su Xuanhe took a few bites, but he never wanted to cause the whole family to get into trouble later.
