Chapter 110 Boiled Fish
Shen Ru put the hawthorn jams into jars and sealed them.
Su Panpan carefully put the hawthorn cake with osmanthus honey filling and blueberry flavor aside to solidify.
Looking at the table full of creative hawthorn jams and hawthorn cakes, everyone's faces showed expressions of amazement.
I'm almost done.
Shen Ru took Linlin and Sisi back home.
It’s time to start cooking dinner. I had a simple lunch and now I’m a little hungry after being busy for so long.
Just as I was about to go to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, Erniu came over with a fresh big grass carp, saying that Daniu was helping someone else to fill the pond with water and catch fish in the afternoon, and he ended up catching several fish and taking them home.
Wang Hexiang asked him to deliver it, one for her and one for Shen Rujia's family.
Su Panpan was not polite and accepted it with a smile and thank you.
I invited Erniu to have dinner, but he said he still had work to do at home.
I gave the fish to Qin Mu to process at the stream.
She picked some chrysanthemums and green onions.
I went to the back room and took out a handful of black fungus to soak, took out some bean curd sheets to soak, peeled a few tender potatoes from yesterday and cut them into thin slices, and soaked some vermicelli.
I also bought a small piece of slightly spicy hot pot base in the mall.
"Mom, the fish has been washed." Qin Mu came back carrying the washed fish.
"Okay, put it on the chopping board. I'll take care of it after I wash my hands."
After Su Panpan washed the fish again, she held a sharp knife and concentrated on slicing the fish.
Her wrist moved flexibly, and pieces of fish as thin as paper kept flying out from under the knife.
Su Panpan heated the pan and poured in clear oil.
As the oil temperature rose, she quickly put the hot pot base into the pot. Under the stimulation of the hot oil, the base instantly gave off a rich and spicy aroma that hit her nose. Su Panpan couldn't adapt to it at once, and couldn't help but turn her head away and cough twice.
She kept stirring with a spatula, the base ingredients gradually melted, the red oil rolled and emitted an attractive luster.
Seeing that it was almost done, Su Panpan promptly added an appropriate amount of water, salt, and a little soy sauce.
The water boiled, making a gurgling sound.
Cook the side dishes first, and she put the thinly sliced tender potatoes into the pot first.
The tender potato slices roll in the water, gradually changing from their original light yellow to soft and glutinous, and the color also becomes warmer.
In the yard at this time, Qin Mu and Qin Xiao were busy collecting the dates that had been dried during the day. They carefully picked the dates and put them into the basket.
The setting sun shone on them, as if covering them with a golden coat.
When they smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, they knew that there would be delicious food in the evening and they were looking forward to it very much.
Afterwards, Su Panpan put the soaked black fungus and bean curd sheets into the pot. The interweaving of black and white added a sense of layering to the picture.
As soon as they come into contact with hot water, they seem to be awakened and begin to absorb the flavor of the soup.
Then add vermicelli and garland chrysanthemum in turn.
The vermicelli becomes transparent in the pot, and the Chinese spinach becomes more shiny and green.
Take a large bowl and scoop out all the side dishes.
From time to time, Yueyue's laughter and the barking of the "fox spirit" could be heard in the yard. Yueyue was playing and frolicking, and her silver bell-like laughter echoed in the yard.
Xiaoxiao was peeling the green skin of walnuts. The chicks gathered around her, pecking at the green skin happily.
At this time, Su Panpan picked up the plate with the fish fillets, put the fish head and fish bones in and boiled them for two minutes, then gently slid the fish fillets into the pot.
As soon as the fish fillets enter the pot, they immediately change color, becoming white and tender.
She carefully moved the fish fillets with chopsticks to ensure that each piece was cooked evenly.
Then serve the fish head, fish bones, and fish fillets in turn, and then serve the soup as well.
Su Panpan sprinkled minced garlic, green chopped green onions, and red chili powder on it.
Su Panpan carefully scooped up a large spoonful of boiling hot oil and slowly walked towards the boiled fish with minced garlic, chopped green onions and chili powder. The hot oil poured down, and the sound of "sizzling" instantly broke the silence.
The boiling hot oil collided violently with the ingredients, causing a thick cloud of white smoke to rise and quickly fill the entire kitchen.
In the smoke, golden oil flowers danced happily.
The minced garlic trembles slightly under the impact of the hot oil; the emerald green chopped green onion is instantly wrapped in the hot oil, becoming even greener; the red chili powder is like a ignited flame, emitting an even warmer spicy aroma.
Qin Mu put away the dried dates and was really tired. His mother picked too many fruits every time and he didn't know how she did it. He even suspected that his mother was a god who had come down to earth and possessed someone. He had recently learned to read with Qin Youwen and this story was mentioned a lot in the storybooks.
"It's time to eat. Fresh boiled fish, eat it while it's hot!" Su Panpan carefully brought a large pot of boiled fish to the living room.
"Hurry up, Qin Mu, Qin Xiao, stop peeling Xiaoxiao and wash your hands quickly. Yueyue too."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mu and Qin Xiao quickly put down the dates in their hands, dusted off their hands, and quickly walked to the basin to wash their hands. Xiaoxiao also stopped peeling the walnuts and pulled Yueyue to wash her hands together.
After a while, the whole family sat around the table.
A large pot of boiled fish was placed on the table, with red, white, green and black complementing each other.
The red chili powder blends perfectly with the red oil of the hot pot base. The white and tender fish fillets are stacked layer by layer, and the emerald green onions are dotted on them like sparkling emeralds. The black fungus and bean curd sheets are faintly visible among them.
The rich aroma hits your nose like a surging wave, and the spicy taste instantly fills the air.
The rich aroma of the hot pot base blends with the deliciousness of the fish, and together with the aroma of garlic, the fragrance of chopped green onions and the spiciness of chili powder, it creates an irresistible and tempting aroma.
This fragrance seems to have magical powers, constantly stimulating people's olfactory nerves and making people saliva secrete involuntarily.
Qin Mu couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fish and put it in his mouth. The tender taste danced on the tip of his tongue like silky satin, and the spicy taste instantly bloomed on his taste buds like gorgeous fireworks.
He nodded with satisfaction: "It tastes really good. The fish is incredibly tender and spicy."
Qin Xiao also quickly took a bite, his eyes instantly lit up, and he exclaimed in admiration: "Wow, this fish is so delicious, so tender. The rich aroma and delicious taste are really irresistible."
"Be sure to watch out for fish bones and go slowly."
Xiaoxiao ate with gusto, and after a while she said, "Mom, can we cook this kind of fish often in the future? It tastes great, the fish fillets are so tender and fragrant."
"Okay." Su Panpan removed the bones and put the fish meat into Yueyue's bowl.
Yueyue's little mouth was stuffed full, and she had to drink some water from time to time to relieve the spiciness.
The family enjoyed the delicious boiled fish while sharing the fun things that happened today.
Inside the house, warm candlelight shines on everyone's face, reflecting happy smiles.
Outside the house, the fox spirit was gnawing on the fish bones that Su Panpan threw to it. A dozen chickens were standing by to clean up the leftovers that the fox spirit had not eaten completely.
The fragrance of fruit wafts through the yard from time to time.
Such days are full of warmth and happiness.
