Chapter 63: Fishing
"Sister Yiyun, what are you doing?" Liu Yun asked in confusion when she saw Huang Yiyun coming from home with a wooden bucket of fresh fish and shrimps.
"Miss Yiyun, today I saw you go to the pond to catch fish, but you didn't get these little fish and shrimps back. Why did you get such little fish and shrimps from? If you have time, teach your second brother to get some small fish and shrimps." Liu Qing smiled and said to Huang Yiyun.
"Brother Liu, I didn't see Liu Yun go down the pond to catch fish today, but I set up a door to catch small fish and shrimps. I guess I'm afraid that anyone in your family likes to eat these, but my family doesn't like to eat small fish and shrimps. In addition, there are so many, so I give it to your family. Don't dislike it, uncle and aunt?" Huang Yiyun said a little embarrassedly.
"Yiyun is very considerate. My aunt just likes to eat these small fish and shrimps. She stir-fry them and adds dried peppers and puts some garlic on it. The taste is fragrant. There is a bitter sauce in the small fish. My aunt just likes this taste. So today, Yun'er, is just taking the small fish for her aunt. Yiyun brought her favorite food to her. It's too late to welcome her? How could she dislike it?" Aunt Liu got up and took the wooden barrel and dried fish from Huang Yiyun's hand and put it aside. She handed a bench to Huang Yiyun and let Huang Yiyun sit down.
"Your family has dried so many dried fish. It took a lot of time for you to catch fish!" Liu Cheng opened the thing wrapped in the lotus leaf and saw that the dried fish in the lotus leaf was still dried. Then, he snatched the wooden barrel that Huang Yiyun brought with him, and saw that the small fish in the wooden barrel were clean, but there were still a lot of them.
I thought that among the wooden barrels Huang Yiyun brought up, the small fish were floating on the water surface, and the small fish heads appeared. After opening their mouths and spitting water continuously, I thought that only the small fish floated on the water surface, but I didn't expect that there were many small fish at the bottom of the wooden barrel.
Liu Cheng guessed that there were at least seven or eight kilograms of small fish in the bucket.
"It didn't take much time. At night, my family put a ground cage in the canal in the paddy field. After putting some bait in the ground cage, they went to get the ground cage early the next morning, and many fish, shrimps, and even eels and loaches could be caught in the ground cage. After a long time, they naturally survived." Huang Yiyun did not hide it privately.
"Didn't the ground cage be used to use fishing nets or fishing to fish?" Liu Cheng asked after he didn't understand the word "ground cage".
"The fishing net and fishing holes are too big to catch small fish and shrimps. The ground cage is made of bamboo slices, with good sealing and water permeable, bar, bar, bar, bar, bar, bar, bar," Huang Yiyun said about the method of weaving the ground cage.
"Dad, you can make one too. At that time, if my mother wants to eat small fish, our family will also put the floor cage. At that time, when my mother wants to eat, we can go and catch it."
"Finish, dad, just knit one." Uncle Liu also thought that the ground cage was better, much better than fishing nets and fishing to catch small fish.
The very small fish fled directly from the fishing nets and the holes that were fishing. In the past, if you wanted to get some small fish to eat, you had to use a dustpan to get it.
Not only does it take to say it, it is also tiring.
"Yiyun, go back and say to your grandma. I haven't harvested much of the sweet potatoes grown by my family this year. I exchanged wheat with your family for some sweet potatoes, and exchanged one pound of wheat for two and a half pounds of sweet potatoes in your family." Aunt Liu rubbed the corn next to Huang Yiyun.
"This..., I have to go home and ask my grandma." Huang Yiyun hesitated when he heard Aunt Liu's words.
The Liu family grew sweet potatoes from a mu of fields. Huang Yiyun knew about it and the harvest was very good. If you wanted to exchange sweet potatoes with your own family, you just wanted to help your family and let your family go to the town to buy pasta without spending money.
Afterwards, Huang Yiyun rubbed corn kernels at the Liu family for a while, and after talking for a while, he said goodbye and left.
After Huang Yiyun returned home, he saw that his uncle had already returned. On the side of the main hall, there were two grass carp of four or five kilograms and one carp of three or four kilograms.
"This is sent by the Zhang family." Huang Yiyun said affirmatively.
"Mom, should we eat this fish slowly after we raise it, or should we eat it into a smoky fish?" Huang Liu asked.
"We still have a lot of fish? You can eat them for a while and eat them with grass carp! If you raise them, you can eat them in the future."
"My grandma, let the eldest sister deal with the grass carp! Let's not smoke it and eat it, the eldest sister sucks the fish." Huang Yiyun said with a slight movement in his heart.
"Fried fish. This costs a lot of oil!"
"It's not fried fish, but pricked fish. It's like cutting the fish into pieces and marinating them in a jar. After a little time, you can eat it. Moreover, after pricking the fish, it has a unique aroma and spicy flavor, with a unique flavor and mellow aroma. It is a winter delicacy.
The most important thing is that the taste of the fish is better, not just like the smoked wax fish. The smoked wax fish is too hard and not suitable for eating it for the elderly or people with bad teeth." Huang Yiyun explained after Huang Jiangshi heard that it was fried fish.
"So, the eldest sister thinks that the method is good, so you can do that. Just eat it."
"Okay, then the eldest sister will deal with the fish first." Huang Yiyun nodded, and walked to the kitchen with three fish.
Carp are raised and kept for later eating.
Wash the grass carp, put a flower knife on the fish skin, marinate it with fine salt for 24 hours, hang it in a ventilated place and dry until it is half-dry, and then smoke it with firewood to remove the fishy smell.
After removing the fishy smell, cut it into pieces, mix the fish pieces with white wine, red cherry, star anise, bay leaves, grass fruit, and cinnamon powder and marinate for 5 minutes, then put it in the jar and seal it, and it will be taken in about half a month.
But there is no red music rice, and Huang Yiyun plans to not use red music rice.
Originally, Red Quoji rice is used to dye the fish, making the pickled fish look better.
However, when steaming fish, you can add more peppers, so that it will look good when steaming.
After handling the fish, Huang Yiyun hung under the eaves.
I plan to start tonight and cook the marinated grass carp in the firewood room with firewood.
After Huang Yiyun handled the grass carp, he walked to the main hall and said to Huang Lishi, "My lady, when the eldest sister went to the Liu family just now, Aunt Liu said that their family had not harvested much of the sweet potatoes grown this year. She wanted to exchange wheat for some sweet potatoes with our family, saying that it was a pound of wheat for two and a half pounds of sweet potatoes in our family."
"Hey! From my second family, you can pick out the big sweet potatoes. If you choose 30 kilograms of sweet potatoes, just change to their ten kilograms of wheat. If two and a half kilograms of sweet potatoes are too little, we can't take advantage of them, right?" Huang Li also knew that this was the Liu family who wanted to help her, but she didn't want to spend money to buy flour in the town.
People should know that they are afraid that they are used to eating flour and are not used to rice, so they want to change to wheat that can be ground into white flour.
