Xiangchuan opened the lid of the pot, and a burst of fragrant steam floated out from the pot. Inside was Xiangchuan's familiar smell of fish and onion and ginger. The mixed aroma of pepper stimulated everyone's appetite, making everyone swallow their saliva in unison. Even Qiu Manman, who has always been skeptical, couldn't help but want to have a taste. The person involved, Xiangchuan, was the calmest. She calmly took out the insulated gloves from her pocket, took out the hot lunch box from the pot, thought for a while, and sprinkled some minced garlic on it. This simple version The steamed fish is finished. She opened the terminal and looked at it. It was just after ten o'clock, and it was not yet noon. Isn't it too early to eat now...
She was thinking this, and when she was about to put the lid on the pot, a ring of regretful "Hey~~?" sounds suddenly sounded around her, which immediately stopped Xiangchuan's movements. You don't need to look back to know that this group of guys in the class, who are submissive when they see the ingredients and attack at the speed of light when they see the cooking, are coveting the steamed fish.
"Xiangchuan, Xiangchuan," Qiu Manman hurriedly came over. The smell of the fish was even stronger, and she almost couldn't control her saliva. "The fish is ready, why don't you eat it right away?"
"It's not even eleven o'clock yet. If I eat now, what should I have for lunch later?" Xiangchuan looked at her warily. She had heard Qiu Manman's tone so many times in the past few days that she naturally understood what she meant: Xiangchuan! hungry! rice! But Xiangchuan himself hasn't eaten it yet.
"Isn't there something in the lunch box later? You just made it now, so we can try it for you." Qiu Manman blinked. If it weren't for a little bit of saliva flowing out of the corner of her mouth, Xiangchuan would really be attracted by her. His increasingly proficient acting skills fooled him.
"Tell the truth." Xiangchuan crossed his arms on his chest and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
Knowing that Xiangchuan had seen through her own thoughts, Qiu Manman felt confident. She said loudly: "I want to eat fish! Xiangchuan, let's start eating now!"
Full of energy! good! energetic! Kagawa praised in his heart. She looked around the camp for a week. Almost ten students in the camp all had the same idea. Their eyes were full of eagerness to try. Xiangchuan sighed: This fish will probably not be left until noon.
When she opened the lid again, there was a burst of cheers in the camp, which startled the two classes by the river: What are these freaks in Class 8 doing again?
The excited Qiu Manman pulled the slightly embarrassed Liang Gong and began to skillfully dismantle the lunch boxes that Xiang Chuan had eaten yesterday and assemble them into small square bowls, and then delivered them to Xiang Chuan. There were seven or eight stacked in front of Xiang Chuan. Xiangchuan looked up at everyone and said: "There are not enough bowls. Girls and girls, boys and boys will share a few bowls at once. If you can't accept sharing, you can wipe them before using them. Of course, if you have It's best if you bring a bowl. By the way, I don't have enough tableware here. If you don't like it, bring your own tableware."
As soon as the words were spoken, the students rushed back to their tents and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find portable tableware and portable folding bowls that were originally used to cut solid food. The mysophobia of modern people was undoubtedly revealed. This week, Qiu Manman and Liang Gong, who were accustomed to sharing tableware with Xiangchuan and others, were naturally not included.
Two minutes later, everyone gathered around Kagawa with bowls of various shapes. The scene looked like a famous scene in the 21st century of high school students queuing up to get food.
...There seems to be no difference?
Naturally, his family gave him some preferential treatment. Xiangchuan first picked up an empty bowl next to him and picked up a piece of fish maw with serving chopsticks. The chopsticks pierced the fish skin, revealing the white and tender fish meat. Even Hachi, who had seen chicken and beef last week, The students in the class were also amazed. Transparent oil can even be seen under the belly of the big grass carp that was kept in the wild. This surprised Xiangchuan and gave Qiu Manman a big piece. Liang Gong followed him with the same treatment. The third portion of the fish belly was natural. It was left to herself.
After dividing the portions among his family members, it was the turn of several classmates. As the others hadn't come back yet, the fish that Xianggawa divided with serving chopsticks was also quite large. Fortunately, the grass carp was fat enough, so everyone could pick it up. It was a big piece, except for the head and tail of the fish, there was still almost half of it left.
"Be careful when eating. River fish has a lot of spines. Don't stuff it in one mouthful, otherwise you will have to go to the hospital if the fish bones get stuck in your throat." After finishing his work, Xiangchuan bit the straw of the fruit milk bottle and warned everyone. The hospital quickly became serious, although the saliva on their lips made them look not serious at all.
The first one to speak bravely was still Qiu Manman.
She bit off the edge of the fish, and the tender fish steak broke with one bite. The fish, the fish skin, and the fish oil sandwiched in the middle slid into her mouth. The fresh aroma that she had never experienced before rushed straight to her forehead. It was incredible that there was no fresh flavor on the fish. The disgusting fishy smell was replaced by a delicious, tender and smooth feeling. The pungent taste of salt and pepper made her unable to help but continue to take the second and third bites...Thanks to the fish belly part. There are fewer words, otherwise she would definitely get stuck at her speed.
Seeing Qiu Manman gobbling it up like this, the others relaxed and started eating. I wonder if it was because modern river fish have been genetically modified. Xiangchuan looked around for a while and found that no one spit out fish bones? Could it be that some biologist who had a fish bone stuck in his throat as a child secretly modified the gene pool of river fish?
The answer is indeed close to ten.
Seeing how delicious everyone was eating, Xiangchuan's not-so-hungry stomach began to growl. She picked up her bowl, put the fish in her mouth, and frowned after taking the first bite. The spicy flavor of pepper did cover up the single taste of steamed fish to a certain extent, but as a southerner who must add soy sauce to eat steamed fish, she really couldn't accept steamed fish without soy sauce.
Soy sauce, soy sauce, or should I say beans, beans, where are you——
With an expressionless face, Xiangchuan wiped out the piece of fish maw in his bowl, moved away from his place, and let his still unfinished classmates pick up the second portion with public chopsticks.
"Xiagawa! Is this fish head edible?"
After finishing the second portion of fish maw, Qiu Manman curiously picked up the fish head and put it in his bowl to examine it. Steamed fish heads are indeed rare for modern people. Liang Gong and Fu Chengkai couldn't help but go over to take a closer look. A few glances.
"Some of the meat on it can be eaten, as can the fish eyes. If you open the fish skull, you can see some transparent paste inside. Those are the fish brains. These can be eaten, although they have no taste." This is the truth. , after all, there is no soy sauce now, and I didn’t pay much attention to the fish head when it was just marinated. It definitely doesn’t taste as good as it did in the 21st century.
After getting the answer "It's okay to eat", Qiu Manman immediately started to eat the fish head. But after all, it was her first time to eat fish head, so she was a little embarrassed. The fish bones were all on her face. She saw it next to her. The classmates laughed, and Xiangchuan couldn't help but laugh too.
