Chapter 16 A black shadow!
The body of the little shrimp is crystal clear. It lives in clear mountain springs and has a very clean stomach.
The small shrimps died quickly out of water, and they became silent after just a few jumps.
Zhao Yeqing climbed down to the cellar, took out a carrot, peeled it and cut it into shreds, put it into water to blanch it, took it out and chopped it into small pieces.
There are only two eggs left from the previous purchase. Take one out and beat it in a large bowl. Add flour, chopped carrots and dried shrimps, sprinkle with salt and pepper and mix well.
The small willow root fish needs to have its internal organs removed and the remaining blood in its stomach flushed out with clean water, then the water needs to be wiped off and the fish needs to be coated with starch.
For the largest stream grouper, clean it in the same way, make cuts on it, put a little oil in a pan, sprinkle some salt in the pan when the oil is hot, and slide the stream grouper into the pan along the edge of the pan.
Sprinkle salt on the fish and fry it. The fish skin should not break easily. Fry until both sides turn slightly yellow. Pour a bowl of hot water into the pot.
As soon as the boiling water poured into the pan where the fish was being frying, it turned into a rich milky white color.
The fish soup still needs to be covered with a lid and cooked over high heat for another ten minutes.
While the fish soup is cooking, heat oil in a pan.
In order to save oil, Zhao Yeqing took out the small electric milk pot for one person that he had bought when he lived there by himself, and plugged it into the power socket. The power was not high and could barely be used.
After the oil in the milk pan is hot, put the small fish in one by one.
As soon as the small fish enters the oil pan, it makes a sizzling sound and the aroma of fried fish instantly hits you.
Use chopsticks to turn the small fish carefully to prevent them from sticking together. Take them out after two or three minutes.
Two chopsticks were placed on the plate, and the fried fish were placed on them to drain the oil.
She didn't plan to re-fry the fish. Although re-frying the fish would make it more crispy, the fish body would become hollow and would lose the texture of fish meat.
Take another bowl and pour half of the oil in the pot into the bowl, leaving only one centimeter of oil in the pot. Then pour the rice paste with dried shrimps into the pot. After pouring a bowl of rice paste, you can make a pancake the size of a milk pan.
The shrimp cakes slowly expand in the pan. After they are turned over and fried, the fish soup is ready. Sprinkle a little salt on them when they are out of the pan.
The milky white fish soup has a rich aroma. The moment the lid of the pot is opened, the fragrance even overwhelms the two fried foods.
It’s a pity that there is still a handful of chopped green onions missing. Green onions and fish are a perfect match.
Zhao Yeqing scooped a bowl of fish soup and gently scooped out the almost melted fish meat and put it into the bowl. Even though there was no ginger in the fish, there was not a single fishy smell.
The big plate was half fried fish and half shrimp cakes.
The fried fish was sprinkled with chili powder, and red shrimps were faintly visible in the shrimp cakes.
Today is a high-calorie day.
She wouldn't have dared to eat like this before, as it would have made it difficult for her to wear a suitable professional suit. The urban beauties in the office could only drink American coffee to survive.
But now...
'Kachi kachi...'
Zhao Yeqing took a bite of fried fish, a bite of shrimp cake, and then drank a sip of soup to calm his nerves.
This is life!
For a moment, she almost couldn't tell who was the victim of the disaster, now or before.
Zhao Yeqing's mouth was full of oil as he ate. The musk deer next to him retreated with the fresh grass in its mouth.
Well, I am a mortal, and you are a mountain elf.
Eat and drink enough.
Take out the bracken from the basket.
There is some mucus on the broken end of the purple fern. Rinse it with water and lay it flat to dry.
I took out a kimchi jar from the corner of the kitchen. This was the one my grandma used before. My grandma loved cleanliness, so every time she finished eating the kimchi, she would wash it and put it away.
Zhao Yeqing was used to washing all tableware and kitchen utensils before use, and also when cooking, he washed his hands after each step.
Wash the kimchi jar and dry it in the sun.
After two hours, sprinkle a large amount of salt on the dried bracken and rub it evenly.
Plants will release water when they encounter salt, and the color of ferns will become darker almost visibly to the naked eye.
Zhao Yeqing stood up, twisted his neck, and brought in the jar of kimchi from the yard.
Put the bracken in, pour in some of the water from the previous pickling, and then add high-proof liquor to seal it.
There were five or six bottles of liquor on the truck, and two boxes of beer.
She doesn't drink and will feel dizzy after just one bottle of beer.
Place the jar of fern in a cool place and wait for half a month before eating.
Zhao Yeqing broke out in a sweat, not sure if it was due to the effect of the fish soup or the hot weather.
She thought it was the latter, as she saw the chickens and geese squatting under the eaves next to the pond to enjoy the cool air today.
It is still a little cool in the morning, but it becomes hot at noon. This temperature difference is not very conducive to the growth of crops, especially in the large vegetable garden that is still in the germination stage.
It may get hot earlier this year. At this time of year in previous years, you still need to wear a thick coat when going up the mountain.
Seeing that it was still early, Zhao Yeqing decided to go cut bamboo to build a greenhouse.
The vegetable garden is large and requires several large bamboos. But she can't even carry one, let alone several.
After weighing the pros and cons, I could only drive the tricycle over first.
In terms of location, the pond is to the right rear of the house, the observation tower is directly behind it, and the bamboo forest is to the right of the house.
Zhao Yeqing drove along the firebreak and when he arrived at the bamboo forest, he saw that the bamboo shoots had grown into bamboos more than two meters tall in just ten days.
There are not many bamboo shoots sticking out of the ground now.
She dug out all the bamboo shoots and put them in the car before she thought about cutting the bamboo.
The more weight a car has, the faster it will drain its battery.
After moving two loads of bamboo, the car's battery was running low.
Zhao Yeqing decided to use today's electricity to charge the tricycle first.
Take a piece of meat out of the refrigerator to thaw it and have stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots tonight.
Measure the length of each piece of land, determine the size of bamboo strips required, put on gloves and start chopping with a hatchet.
After the bamboo strips were split, they were roasted over the fire as usual. Two of them broke in the process and had to be split again.
There wasn’t much plastic film left after she was done wrapping. When she bought it, she thought that such a large roll would definitely not be used up. She also didn’t expect the industry to expand so quickly.
It wasn't until the sun went down that she finally tied the last tie.
Because I was not familiar with the business, I dismantled and modified it several times, but finally it was completed.
By the time the chickens and geese had finished their meal, the musk deer had already fallen asleep.
Zhao Yeqing took a bamboo shoot he had dug in the afternoon, peeled off the hard shell and cut it into slices.
The bamboo shoots are a bit bitter at this time, so it is best to blanch them before stir-frying.
After dinner, taking a shower and going to bed, it was almost twelve o'clock. This was the latest she slept in that day.
I thought I would sleep soundly and wake up till dawn.
Maybe it was something that happened recently that made her unusually sensitive to changes in environment and sounds.
At three o'clock in the morning, she was awakened by the sound of plastic sheeting, which came from the newly built greenhouse in her vegetable garden.
The terrace outside the room faces a large vegetable garden.
She gently pushed the door open and walked to the edge of the terrace, hunched over.
Facing the moonlight, she saw a black shadow flipping through her potato and sweet potato area.
She had just checked her phone, and her eyes were not yet adapted to the darkness.
He closed his eyes and opened them after a while.
This time she saw it clearly.
A black-haired one.
A wild boar taller than she,
She is rubbing her potatoes!!
