In stories about "true and false young misses," others usually transmigrate into noble daughters who were lost outside. With one transmigration, they step on cannon fodder, become the cente...
As the crispy shell cracks gently, the white fish meat and various vegetables inside are revealed.
Because the vegetables were coated with various spices and seasonings in advance, their color was slightly brown, and they exuded an enticing aroma when wrapped in fish.
"Everyone, try it and see how the vegetables taste like prepared this way?" Su Qingluan said as she slowly cut open the fish belly with chopsticks.
As she moved, bright brown-yellow liquid slowly flowed out from the fish's belly. She said to her younger siblings, "I didn't put any evodia rutaecarpa in this fish, so it's not spicy. You can eat it too."
"What is Evodia rutaecarpa?" Su Xueyan asked in confusion.
Su Qingluan blinked at her: "It's a kind of seasoning that makes your mouth hurt after eating it."
The little girl immediately remembered her previous disastrous experience with onions and quickly shook her head like a rattle: "I don't want to eat anything with Evodia rutaecarpa!"
Su Xuanhe curled his lips when he heard this: "Humph, coward, I'm not afraid!"
The little girl was laughed at and pouted unhappily. But she didn't get stubborn and insist on "challenging the impossible" because she didn't want to eat anything that would hurt her mouth.
Su Guangfu and Yang were the first to taste the vegetables in the fish's belly.
Yang's eyes lit up: "This lotus root slice is even more delicious than usual with the fresh flavor of fish!"
Su Guangfu also nodded: "The fish meat inside is very tender."
Su Qingluan nodded: "Because even though the fish skin has been roasted to a crisp, there are vegetables inside the fish belly, which can ooze out the soup when heated, keeping the fish meat inside fresh, smooth and tender."
Su Xuanhe had black marks on the sides of his mouth from eating, but he couldn't stop eating. "The fish skin is crispy and fragrant. It's different from the dry grilled fish I've had before!"
Su Qingluan pointed at the lard beside her and said, "Because when I grill fish, I brush a layer of lard on it every time I turn it over. This allows a layer of fat to adhere to the surface of the fish skin, so the grilled fish will be crispy and not dry."
"The bean sprouts here are better than the vegetables added to the fish soup!" Su Xueyan ate so much that her eyes turned into two crescent moons.
Seeing that her sister enjoyed the food, Su Qingluan shared some of the bean sprouts in front of her with her. "Because it only uses the broth from the vegetables themselves as the 'soup base' to absorb the delicious flavor of the surrounding fish, it is naturally more rich and fragrant than the fish soup itself."
As she spoke, she took off the spiciest fish and glanced at her brother meaningfully: "I was wondering if someone just laughed at me for being so impatient. Here's a grilled fish with a lot of evodia rutaecarpa added. Do you want to try it?"
Then she smiled at her parents and said, "Dad, Mom, I love spicy food. Although this fish is to satisfy my craving, the taste is indeed a bit strong. Dad and Mom, you can try a small amount first. If it suits your taste, then eat it."
Su Guangfu and Yang had only seen dogwood in Tusu wine during the Chinese New Year, and not much was added.
In the past, because seasonings were expensive, the family had almost no money left to buy so many spices except for coarse salt and a small amount of soy sauce and vinegar. Therefore, the couple had no idea about the specific degree of spiciness of Evodia rutaecarpa.
Therefore, both of them were a little cautious when they picked up their chopsticks.
This is the wisdom of adults.
However, there happened to be a bold and naughty kid here - Su Xiaoer, who did not have the wisdom of an adult, and Su Qingluan's words just now successfully aroused his unwillingness to admit defeat.
So, with the idea of "letting you see how brave a real man is", Su Xuanhe straightened his back and quickly launched an "attack" on the grilled fish that the sister said was "the spiciest and strongest".
With a "crack", Su Xuanhe tore off a large piece of fish meat with chopsticks.
Because this fish had much more spices than the other two, and there were still particles of various seasonings on the fish skin, Su Qingluan couldn't help but remind her: "Shake off the seasonings on the fish skin before you eat it, otherwise it will be too much."
She never thought that it would have been better if she hadn't said this. As soon as she said this, it made her naughty brother even more dissatisfied.
He held a small bowl filled with fish, meat and vegetables and said, "It's just a little spicy. I won't cry like San Ya!"
After saying that, he started to bury his head in the food in the bowl.
At first, Su Xuanhe's movements were as swift as a whirlwind. But after a while, his movements began to slow down.
Moreover, his wheat-colored face, which had originally turned a little red due to running around outside every day, began to show a blush, and beads of sweat began to seep out of his forehead.
Su Guangfu, who was sitting next to Su Xuanhe, noticed his son's reaction and whispered, "Don't be so stubborn if you can't eat it."
Yang also noticed that Su Xuanhe's reaction was not right, so she came over and asked, "Son, did you eat too much spicy food?" Then she turned around and brought Su Xuanhe some water.
Su Qingluan had been watching her brother's reaction since early morning. Seeing this, she frowned slightly and turned around to get the rolls that were left over every day to help her brother relieve the spiciness.
From the beginning, Su Xuanhe had been stubborn and refused to eat the bread or drink the water.
But later he felt his mouth hurt more and more, and the pain made him dizzy, so he had to "give in", picked up the tea bowl filled with water, and ate the roll that the sister handed to him.
However, he felt very aggrieved while eating and drinking, with tears welling up in his eyes - as if it was such a shameful thing to "give up" because he couldn't eat spicy food.
Especially, when he saw Su Qingluan putting the very spicy fish meat with the skin in her mouth and chewing it tirelessly without changing her expression, he even showed a look of admiration on his face.
