After the two brothers returned home, they quickly put the fish into a large basin to keep them alive.
Yu Chengyuan planned to deliver the Wanyu fish directly to Jinjiang Hotel when he went to the county town in the afternoon.
The reason for sending them over earlier is that the Jinjiang Hotel has oxygen for the fish to breathe, while they don't have any at home.
They had already arranged with Boss Jiang to go to the county hospital together, so Yu Chengyuan thought he would bring the fish to the shop as well.
Sending the fish over in advance is no problem; it's perfect for customers who come to the restaurant in the evening to enjoy the fresh Wuhu fish.
He didn't plan to send the bighead carp head over; he would clean it up and enjoy it with his family when he got back.
That fish head was huge, weighing at least four or five pounds.
I'll keep half for myself and take the other half to my mother-in-law. We'll use it to stew tofu tomorrow; it'll taste absolutely delicious.
As for the fish body, chop it into small pieces, buy some fermented black beans and chili powder, and make a spicy fermented black bean and rice wine fish dish. The taste is incredibly appetizing and goes perfectly with rice. It won't spoil even after eating it for several days.
If I make it tonight, it'll last for several days!
This fish is so big, it could make several large plates!
Fish cooked in fermented rice wine is a relatively well-known southern dish that came about later.
While busy preparing the dishes, Yu Chengyuan was also thinking about how to handle the fish.
After the two brothers finished cooking, Yu Dazhu and his wife also finished work and returned home.
"Dad, Mom, my older brother and I are going to the county hospital this afternoon. So we might be back a little late."
When you go out, you must tell your parents first.
So Yu Chengyuan spoke up during the meal.
"Go to the hospital?"
Are you or your older brother feeling unwell?
Upon hearing this, Pan Cuilian immediately became anxious, her face filled with undisguised concern.
"No, Mother, don't be nervous. My brother and I are in good health."
My brother's friend's sister was having surgery at the county hospital, and my mother-in-law was the surgeon, so we went to visit her.
Yu Chengyuan, fearing his mother would worry, quickly explained.
"You silly child, you only say half of what you mean, and you're making your mother so anxious."
Yu Dazhu's heart also tightened for a moment, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn't his son who was in trouble.
"Father is right, I didn't explain it clearly."
Yu Chengyuan quickly admitted his mistake with a smile on his face.
It's like a naughty child who makes a mistake and then obediently admits it.
Being able to live a second life and laugh and chat with one's parents again is a very happy thing.
"Honey, why are you talking to the children? They didn't do it on purpose."
Pan Cuilian glared at her husband, then smiled and said to the two brothers, "Since it's our mother-in-law who's doing it herself, you should go and see, so that Sulan won't feel uneasy."
The two brothers nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
"Dad, we came back early today. My older brother and I caught a big grass carp and a bighead carp."
The bighead carp is huge; the head alone weighs four or five pounds.
I delivered the large Wanyu fish to Jinjiang Hotel this afternoon. Boss Su happens to be a friend of a friend of mine.
So we agreed to go together.
"Such a large bighead fish is quite rare!"
"Your luck is really getting better and better!"
Yu Dazhu smiled and praised his second son.
Ever since the day his daughter-in-law had a difficult childbirth, the son seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, even his personality changed drastically. However, this was actually a good thing for their family.
Even the eldest son has changed a bit. Although he hasn't changed as much as the second son, he has become more cheerful and is no longer as dull and taciturn as before.
"hey-hey!
Our son was just lucky; our family's luck will only get better from now on.
Yu Chengyuan chuckled and continued, "Dad, please kill that bighead carp, but keep the head."
Could you please chop the fish into small pieces and marinate it with cooking wine and salt?
Then put it in the sun to dry, remembering to flip it over halfway through, otherwise it won't be even.
I'll deal with it when I get back tonight.
Yu Chengyuan carefully explained everything to his father.
"Oh, I got it. But I might not be good at pickling. Let your mother do it, and I'll just focus on cleaning the fish," Yu Dazhu said with a smile.
He was afraid he had put in too much salt and it wouldn't be edible.
It would be a waste then.
It's more reliable to leave these delicate tasks to my wife. She's done them a lot before and is very skilled at it.
"Then Dad will be in charge of killing the fish, and Mom will be in charge of marinating and drying them."
"Mom, remember to spray some white wine on the fish pieces when you're drying them. It will make them more effective and less likely to attract flies."
Yu Chengyuan said to his mother with a smile.
Pan Cuilian nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Mother will remember."
What new gadget are you up to this time?
Seeing how seriously her youngest son was taking it, she figured it must be another novel dish.
"Mom, it must be a delicious fish dish; none of us have ever eaten it before."
My brother is full of all sorts of strange and wonderful ideas; he's really smart!
A fresh idea every day.
Hahaha………"
Yu Pingan smiled and praised his younger brother again.
"Brother, you're flattering me again. It's just a simple fish dish that keeps well and doesn't spoil easily!"
Yu Chengyuan said modestly, feeling embarrassed.
"Mom, I won't tell you now. Just do as I say, and I'll deal with it tonight."
By the way, you don't need to prepare any other dishes for dinner, just a vegetable dish will do. We'll make a fish head tofu soup tonight.
Also, could you clean those glass bottles in your house? I need them.
