The salted fish Lin Chou mentioned was slightly different from the salted fish these guys understood - what he wanted to make was "fish rice".
Fishermen and the sea can support the continuity of a culture. Fish is a staple food, and fish in coastal areas has become as important as rice in the Central Plains.
Throughout the ages, coastal areas (especially along the Chaozhou coast) have had the custom of making fish rice. The so-called fish rice can generally be understood as fish cooked in fresh seawater.
The fish used to make fish rice are mostly amberjack, or various more common and cheap fish species, and they are eclectic.
The production method is also very simple. Gradually arrange the fish in a fish basket woven from bamboo or tree rattan, with the head on the edge and the tail in the middle, and then put the whole basket into a seawater pot to cook.
The cooked fish rice can be sprinkled with salt after being passed through the sea water. It can be stored longer than fresh fish. Even if it cools down, it does not need to be reheated and the flavor will remain the same.
The reason why it is called fish rice is because there was no rice to cook during the period of scarcity, so fish could only be used as rice.
(Ahem, although it is very untimely, when I write this, I can’t help but remind Sanguan of the picture of the hard years when I could only rely on hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake to fill my stomach...)
On the other hand, sea fish has more garlic clove meat. After the cooked fish is minced, the fish meat is actually quite similar to rice grains.
Lin Chou used a very common type of mackerel this time.
Take the mackerel fish produced along the coast of Mingguang, for example. Each fish is as thick and fat as an adult's elbow. When placed together, they look like twin brothers. There is almost no difference in size or appearance.
Mackerel itself contains more oil, the fish meat is tough and textured, and the fishy smell is light.
Mackerel, with a surface color that gives it a patina and a hint of gold, is the best among them and is full of flavor. In fact, many people in Mingguang prefer to enjoy mackerel of this quality with peppers, red onions, fresh wild vegetable sprouts, etc. A sumptuous meal of fish and meat, and a few mouthfuls of high-quality Qingquanshan, is a complete bourgeois life.
"Fish and rice..."
Qin Wuyong's expression was a bit nostalgic,
"Hey, when I was a kid, I lived near Zhengdongmen. My family almost didn't eat rice. I ate this all the time - well, there was no seasoning, just salt. At most, I mixed it with a few wild vegetables. Now that I think about it..."
A mackerel, with its head outside and tail inside, was neatly arranged in a basket and looked very similar to some kind of flowers. Qin Wuyong took the opportunity to take a few pictures as a souvenir.
Lin Chou said,
"Then you are better than me. I live near the west gate, far away from Heichenhai. Eating fish every time is not much different from celebrating the New Year."
"Mackerel and fried fish with rice, just thinking about it will make your mouth water!"
Lin Chou placed several cooked mackerel directly on the hot iron plate and grilled them. The water and oil between the skin and flesh of the fish quickly seeped out and made a sizzling sound.
With a few flicks of chopsticks, the fish skin, internal organs, and fish bones were completely separated. The fish meat turned into uniform flaps under Lin Chou's hands, and the surface was coated with a layer of fat and burnt color like a tipsy drink.
Discard the rest, and transfer the fish rice with only the fish meat removed to the pan. Season with just a little white pepper, add chicken bone soup and soy sauce, and thin the water starch to reduce the juice.
This is a very common method of stir-frying. Grilling on an iron plate is used to add a caramel aroma to the fish and rice, and bone broth is used as the base to create a balanced flavor.
Pour the steaming rice into a bowl, put a layer of fish rice on top, sprinkle with green onions, chili peppers, minced garlic and sesame seeds. Put a perfectly timed hot spring egg in the center and pour a few drops of soy sauce to declare it complete.
The last dish that goes with the fish rice is a large plate of thick-cut mackerel sashimi, and the dipping sauce is a mustard vinegar sauce made from devil's pepper and sea grapes.
It is worth mentioning that sea grapes are also a common seaweed in coastal areas. They are also known as "longevity algae". Small "grapes" hang evenly on the vines in clusters, as if the color changes from The sturgeon roe is from light green to dark green, and has an attractive texture and juicy texture. You will never tire of eating it as a salad dish.
Of course, crushing sea grapes into juice is also a very suitable choice for making some soups.
Lin Chou pinched her chin and took a few glances.
"Emmmm, this is almost the same as the fish rice that dad made for me, at least eighty percent similar, that's what I mean."
Qin Wuyong and Huang Dashan looked at each other, feeling sour in their hearts.
"Depend on..."
"Mad, dad is a great chef."
"That's right..."
Huang Dashan grinned and thought to himself, if I could eat such an exquisite meal every year when I was a child, hiss...it tastes so good! !
Lin Chou slapped his forehead,
"I just said, is there something missing? Where is the perilla... You Rong? Go to the back mountain to pick some fresh perilla leaves, the green ones, not the purple ones... I remember there are them under the papaya tree in the east.
And reminded,
"Be careful not to get stung by a wild bee."
"Okay Shitora!"
Su Yourong responded crisply, her ponytail jumping happily.
Lin Chou handed a bowl to Leng Han, waved his hand and said to the others,
"Then what, you can divide the rest."
This was what Huang Dashan and his group were waiting for. They happily held their bowls and started eating without even saying a polite word, and Lin Chou was used to it.
Leng Han held his chopsticks and looked at the big bowl with a hesitant expression.
"Is this...fish rice...should I mix it before eating it?"
"Oh~ haven't you eaten before?"
"Um..."
Not to mention eating it, I guess Cold Tyrannosaurus has never seen this kind of "high-end customization" that is almost only popular in alleys.
Lin Chou raised her eyebrows, very seriously.
"Being born in Mingguang and never eating fish and rice, Leng Han, your childhood and life can be said to be incomplete!"
"..."
Leng Han, who said it with a serious look on his face, was a little doubtful. Is it really incomplete?
"Do you want to break the eggs too..."
"Mix it vigorously until it becomes sticky and delicious... There seems to be a little less pepper. I'm going to cut some - ah, by the way, did you eat the pepper buds that were mixed last time? No? I'll make another one. Especially for dinner.”
Green and verdant cold pepper buds and very finely chopped fresh devil peppers were served together in front of Leng Han.
"Add more, have a taste."
Leng Han took a bite and gave his first evaluation,
"Well...it's not fishy..."
For a girl like Leng Han who lives on ham - oh no, she can't live without ham and can't eat well, saying it's not fishy is already a pretty high praise.
In fact, Leng Han himself was quite surprised after eating this bowl of fish rice.
The "fish rice" that looks very light in grains has the freshness and sweetness of the fish juice itself. The almost non-existent seasoning not only does not make it feel bland, but also enhances the character's style. The fresh chili, garlic and chives are even more wonderful. , when combined with the taste of a little soy sauce, it gives the entire mouth a layer of crisp and numbing intense feeling. The egg liquid of the hot spring egg makes the fish and rice crystal clear and shiny, and adds a bit of silky texture in the mouth. Thick and smooth - especially when you add a cluster of fragrant cold peppercorn buds!
"Kacha kacha"
There was a subtle and crisp snapping sound of vegetable stems and leaves between the teeth.
"Well..."
A bowl of fish rice is obviously not enough.
Lin Chou brought over another bowl at the right time, very discerning.
By the way, he sent Yourong, who had washed the perilla leaves, to eat. He sat next to Leng Han, picked up a piece of perilla leaves, and
"Hey, Su Ziye, here's another piece of mackerel sashimi, don't worry, it won't be fishy...the vinegar sauce mixed with sea grapes and mustard, then wrap it with a chopstick of rice and chili, roll it up like this, uh..."
Lin Chou's movements froze.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Leng Han looked up at him - at the same time, there were meaningful glances from all over the restaurant that pretended to be casual and swept across their tables.
Lin Chou held the rolled rice bag in one hand and held it empty in the other, sitting there calmly.
The bag has been wrapped. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to put it in my mouth and swallow it now? That......
Leng Han blinked, and his pretty face made of ice and snow suddenly turned a little red.
(End, dog leash...)
Lin Chou gritted his teeth and stamped his feet in his heart, his expression was simply tragic.
"Ah - open your mouth!"
"Ah um..."
Damn it!
This was Lin Chou's first thought.
She, she, she ate? She actually ate it! !
This was Lin Chou's second thought.
Those...soft, cool...should be lips...
This was Lin Chou's third thought.
"Wow——"
There were only seven people in total, and they slapped together like a chorus.
Shen Feng and the other three had just entered the room and didn't even notice what was going on. They just saw everyone clapping desperately, especially when the object of the applause was obviously Leng Han, so they clapped along without even thinking about it. .
The gangster from Huang Dashan blew his whistle and threatened Yan Xiaoliu with his eyes.
Yan Xiaoliu took out the trumpet and puffed his cheeks,
“Didi la da~didi la da~didi di di la da~”
Leng Han lowered his head to pick up the rice, while Lin Chou rolled the rice rolls in a sullen voice.
No birth control feet, no cast pans.
However--
"boom!"
Yan Xiaoliu and Shan Ye were still missing.
Shen Feng stood in a dilemma at the door and let out a "dong" sound from his mouth - Shan Ye and Yan Xiaoliu, who were lying in a row 800 meters away, looked so helpless.
The big-breasted sister ignored everyone's looks at the gods, clapped her hands lightly, and explained forcefully,
"Don't talk when you eat or sleep, and don't make any noise."
"..."
Huang Dashan sat back in his seat silently, still unable to calm down.
"I said, why are there so many hot springs in front? It's quite interesting..."
Lin Chou said,
"Well, it's a new spring. It's good for making hot pot."
Everyone is stale, and nothing seems to be fussy here. With the character of the big boss Lin Chou Lin, it doesn't take much to make a few boiling springs used as pots.
Shan Ye scratched his head,
"Why don't I remember that there are hot springs near Mingguang..."
Then Shanye’s mind opened up,
"Oh no, there is such a thing underground in Yanhui Mountain. Last time, a bunch of girls from that family and that family were washing in the back mountain... Ahem, in fact, I didn't see anything - I I mean, Linzi, look, isn't it a bit of a waste to just build such a big spring? You can open a hot spring swimming pool and eat while soaking in the hot spring. What about, my idea is not bad, it can not only attract Women, men, that’s not...hehehehe..."
Lin Chou's mouth twitched,
"This is a restaurant, not a bathhouse!"
Master Shan tilted his head and said disdainfully,
"That's just a formality. How can you be so rigid in your thinking at such a young age, right? Old man! You see, there were toilet restaurants before the catastrophe. Are there any one-stop services? No one at HT Shengyan stipulates that you can't eat. Ah, you have to be tough to make iron. You can’t waste such good resources in vain, right..."
He speaks sincerely and sincerely, and knows how to move him with his emotions for benefit.
——In the end, this guy succeeded in getting himself beaten, and the person who took action was Leng Han.
It stopped.
Oh, the reason.
The reason is that this will encroach on the activity territory of the poor and insignificant Xiaoqiu. How can I bear it?
"Small animals..."
Master Shan almost cried, and then——
"Hey, it's good to like small animals. You see, many women in society before the cataclysm were very caring. They all liked small animals, such as BMW, Hummer, Jaguar, Land Rover, Maserati, and Rambo Chicken. Ni... Another example is black cats and greyhounds. When getting married, the groom may not have a house, money or even love, but he must have these cute little animals... It's a pity that there is no such pure emotional drama now. Sorry, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be..."
So this guy got beaten again, and the one who took action was still Leng Han.
When no one was paying attention, Shen Feng patted Shan Ye,
"I said, Master Shan, you...are not trying to die like this. If you act like this, I'm really afraid that you won't make it through next year and will die early."
"Go away, I invite your mother to go to Wushan together. The clouds and rain will not stop for three days. Do you know how wonderful my mother is?"
Shen Feng almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Fuck, why the hell are you biting people!"
"Tsk... Whoever was watching the show at the door just now was drooling. You didn't know how to catch me when I was thrown out!"
"Fuck, do you think I'm stupid? Leng... Lieutenant General didn't just throw it at you, he just threw two hundred kilograms of gold. Are you asking which one of you guys here would dare to pick it up?"
Huang Dashan thought about it, the situation was different, he could be forgiven, and he was still a good friend.
"Hey, let me tell you, this person needs to be given some stimulation. How long has it been and they still haven't made any progress? Can you bear this?!"
Shen Feng held five liters of Fat House Happy Water and took a big sip.
"Hiccup, it's none of my business, of course I can tolerate it."
"..."
Shan Ye’s face is ferocious,
"Damn it, you don't have any pursuit or ambition. If you want to put it in other books, the girls have already pushed for a strengthening company. Tell me, can you bear it and the reader's dad can bear it? Just wait and sell the blades!"
Shen Feng snorted,
"Which book? Let's talk for a while, cool articles, etc. I also like to read them when I am free sometimes...especially in the dead of night..."
Shan Ye said to himself,
"I'm worried when I look at it. Why are these two people so calmer than the other? How old is it? Humanity is on the verge of extinction. There's still time to be innocent. Take the time to have a baby... Look at me. , I..."
Shen Feng suddenly interrupted,
"No, who can compare with you, Prince Dashan? I have known the Queen for more than three months. Her mother's child is already six years old. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can't afford to offend you. Congratulations."
"Same joy, same joy..."
"How dare you..."
emmmmm, this kind of conversation is very spiritual.
Huang Dashan was suddenly startled and exploded instantly.
"Shen Feng, you're a big watermelon, you're a good boy and you're just trying to talk to me, right? I'll give you my axe--"
Okay, the fight started again.
After kicking these two idle idiots out, Boss Lin expressed that he was really tired.
Ask Leng Han,
"I am full?"
Leng Han blinked and said nothing.
Lin Chou's question was in vain. Evolved people all have two "stomachs", one is responsible for food and the other is responsible for the origin. The most annoying thing is that either one will feel hungry to death if it is not full.
After thinking about it,
"How about trying the newly made one? How is the quality of the spring water?"
