Chapter 106 Braised Skate Fish

She slept for more than an hour, and when she woke up again, it was almost twelve o'clock!

She is not usually that sleepy, what happened today?

Maybe it’s because I had my period yesterday and I’m too weak!

Thinking of this, she stood up and prepared to go see if Zhou Tingyue had returned from changing the medicine.

When I walked to the door and took a look, I saw that he had moved a small stool and was sitting there, holding something like an air pump in his hand, studying it.

Several children gathered around the newly built chicken coop, feeding the chickens and ducklings.

Song Shiwei was extremely relieved.

I didn't expect this man to move so quickly.

In just a short while, he had renovated the chicken coop and even laid some bricks on the ground, as if to prevent wild rabbits from digging holes and escaping.

I don't know where he got so many bricks.

It was laid neatly, with a thick layer of wheat straw under the thatched shed.

He also got the air pump and was now concentrating on installing the gasket inside. Maybe because the new gasket was a little big, he even trimmed it with scissors.

At this moment, he seemed to sense some movement behind him, turned around and saw Song Shiwei standing behind him.

He immediately smiled and said, "Awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Song Shi smiled and shook his head: "No need to sleep, it's noon, time to cook!"

Zhou Tingyue heard this and quickly put down the things in his hands: "It's already this late? You go and have a rest, I'll cook lunch today!"

Song Shiwei waved his hand and said, "You continue, I'll go cook. I haven't eaten the stingray that Xiaojun caught yesterday. I'm afraid it won't live long for a deep-sea fish like this. If it dies, the meat won't be fresh anymore."

The pheasant could still be kept for two days, but it just wouldn't eat. It was getting hungrier and thinner, and it would soon be out of meat.

It looks like I'll have to kill it and stew it in the next two days.

These wild animals are difficult to raise!

But the little gray rabbit ate all the vegetables that were fed to him, perhaps because he knew that he still had a few cubs in his belly.

And he is very obedient, just jumping around in the nest when nothing happens.

Song Shiwei walked into the kitchen and took a look into the bucket containing the stingray. She saw that it was indeed not moving at all.

He must be dying.

This stingray is not only very unique in appearance, but also has very delicious meat. In addition, there are no bones in the stingray, and the fins are all soft ribs.

Therefore, many people nowadays particularly like to eat stingrays, and these stingrays also have great medicinal value.

It can disperse blood stasis and relieve pain; detoxify and eliminate ulcers; and can also treat rheumatic joint pain: bruises, swelling and pain; boils; and ulcers.

The nutritional value is also very high.

But because stingrays are relatively unique, many people don't know how to handle them.

Song Shiwei is a food anchor after all, so he is no stranger to stingrays.

He took a white glove woven with thread, put it on his hand, and took it out.

When you hold this stingray, you must be careful of its tail, because its tail is poisonous. If you are accidentally bitten by it, you will definitely be in trouble.

Fortunately, this one had stopped moving. She put the stingray on the chopping board and quickly chopped off its tail with the knife.

There are also two rows of small thorns at the base of its tail, which you should also pay attention to.

Song Shiwei cut off the thorns with scissors.

Then use a knife to make a small incision in the stingray's belly, take out the internal organs, and clean them with water.

Cut the meat on both sides along the edge of the eye. She quickly picked up the kettle on the stove and poured water over the meat.

Because fish meat contains a lot of mucus, boiling it in boiling water can effectively remove the mucus from the fish, but fish meat is relatively thin. Just pour it on for more than a second.

There is an ammonia smell on the stingray that is not found on other fish, so the smell also needs to be removed. Song Shiwei cut the fish into strips with a knife, sprinkled some ginger slices, hawthorn, and white vinegar on it and rubbed it evenly, and the smell was gone.

At the same time, it can make the stingray taste good and can also effectively remove the fishy smell.

She plans to braise this stingray today.

Heat oil in a pan, add minced ginger and garlic, add marinated stingray and stir-fry.

Then pour in a proper amount of wine to remove the fishy smell, and add a proper amount of soy sauce to enhance the color. Add some oyster sauce that was previously boiled.

The fragrance instantly hits your nose.

Song Shiwei hurriedly scooped in a small bucket of water, covered the pot and let it simmer for a while.

When the juice in the pot has almost dried up, quickly add chopped green onions and drizzle with a drop of sesame oil. The braised skate is ready.

She didn't dare to make it spicy, as she wanted Xinxin and Zhou Wei to join in the fun.

It tastes good this way too, and she didn’t add any salt during the cooking process because soy sauce and the oyster sauce she makes are already salty.

Marine fish also contain some salt.

While it was simmering, she took the opportunity to steam the steamed buns on the coal stove.

So, when the dish is ready, the steamed buns are also heated up.

She took off her apron, brought out the food, and called Zhou Tingyue and a few children to come and eat.

Seeing a large bowl of fragrant stingray meat on the table, the children were extremely happy!

"Wow! It smells so good!"

"Yes, it smells so good! My mouth is watering!"

Zhou Lin walked over to take a closer look, and the more he looked, the more amazed he became: "Is this the big guy? This is amazing!"

Zhou Cheng smiled and patted him on the head.

"What's so magical? Eat it! It will be bright soon!"

When Zhou Tingyue came in, he was still holding the "pump" in his hand! But this one has obviously been improved.

He handed it to Song Shiwei with a smile: "Take a look, is it what you want? If there's anything wrong with it, tell me and I'll make it again!"

Song Shi took it with surprise and looked at it, and was immediately very happy.

"Yes! Yes! Yes! That's it! This is the shrimp catching tool I want!"

With this thing, she can save a lot of trouble!

She was so happy at the moment that she hugged Zhou Tingyue's neck and kissed him on the face.

"Zhou Tingyue, you are so great! I love you so much!"

As a result, just as she let go of Zhou Tingyue's neck, she heard low laughter coming from the surroundings. Looking up, someone's face was red as blood.

Especially Xinxin and Zhou Wei, who covered their mouths and laughed.

The laughter was very loud, although Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin were also trying to hold back their laughter.

But she couldn't help but say to her younger brother and sister: "Keep your voice down! What are you laughing at? Stop laughing now!"

Song Shiwei was a little embarrassed when he realized what was happening.

I was so excited just now that I actually forgot what era it was.

This behavior may not be a big deal in modern times, but in this era, it is indeed... a bit... reckless.

It's almost like being a hooligan in public, especially in front of children.

Although Zhou Tingyue felt a little embarrassed, she was more happy and nervous.

He clenched his hands unconsciously due to nervousness.
