Chapter 351 Fragrant grilled fish!
It was the first time for the group of people to catch crayfish, and they were very excited.
The cheerful voices reached the pergola, and Madam Gu smiled and said to the waiting nanny, "Go and see what they are doing. They are having so much fun."
"Yes, old lady!"
The nanny bowed and left, and the old lady continued to play mahjong. She had just won the last hand and was in a good mood at the moment.
"Hearing them laughing so happily, it seems even more lively than ours!"
Old Madam Ning smiled and said that she had just learned to play mahjong and was having a great time. Although she lost in the last round, she was not angry at all.
I have attended so many banquets of all sizes in Beijing over the years, but this one was the most comfortable and happy one.
"After this game is over, let's go and take a look!"
Gu Yunfei was dragged here today to play mahjong with her grandmother, grandma and Madam Ning.
If she wasn't pregnant, how could she sit here? She would have gone catching crayfish with everyone long ago.
"Grandma will go with you later!"
When Mrs. Qin heard that her granddaughter-in-law wanted to go, she offered to accompany her.
"Grandma, wait until nanny comes back. If you want to go too, let's go together. Otherwise, if I leave, you will be short of one player for the mahjong game." Gu Yunfei joked.
"My princess, what you said makes sense. I heard my granddaughter's laughter from a long distance away. I think it must be something funny!"
Old Madam Ning had already heard her granddaughter Ning Ning's laughter, and she was very curious.
"Ning'er is lively and cheerful. I guess she's having a great time!"
Whether it was Gu Yunfei or Ning Ning, Mrs. Qin liked them both very much.
"Ning'er has been spoiled by us at home. Please be more tolerant, elder sister!" Old Lady Ning said to Mrs. Qin with a smile.
"Since you have entered our Qin family, you are our own child. The princess is well-educated and well-mannered, and Ning'er is well-behaved and filial. They are both good children."
Mrs. Qin was full of praise for her grandson's wife, and both Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Gu were happy to hear it.
"The old lady, the master, and the young master are all catching crayfish. They say they will be the food for tonight."
The nanny who was sent by the old lady to investigate the situation came back and reported the situation over there to Old Lady Ning.
"It sounds lively, why don't we join in the fun?"
Madam Ning's proposal was unanimously agreed upon by the other three.
Seeing that the people at their table stood up, the others quickly followed suit. Zhang was worried about her daughter-in-law, so she supported her personally.
A group of people came to the ditch and looked at the people catching crayfish in strange clothes with curiosity.
"Grandma, I'm here!"
"Aunt, cousin, we are here!"
"Mom, my brother and I are here!"
"Ma'am, I'm here!"
......
When they saw the people on the shore, the people catching lobsters all waved and greeted them, and then caught more enthusiastically.
Qin Zhizhi secretly put a lot of fish in the ditch while no one was paying attention. Since they were already here, she had to catch them herself to eat them.
Not long after, Qin Zhizhi heard a sound of surprise.
"Sister-in-law, we caught some fish! There are actually fish here!"
The excited voices of Gu Yunlang and others were heard, and the people on the shore also became excited.
"Catch them well, and I'll make you something delicious tonight!"
Qin Zhizhi had already thought of how to eat it, and arranged the following for tonight: grilled fish, fish soup, braised fish, steamed fish, which can be eaten by both the elderly and children.
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
When they heard that there would be delicious food in the evening, everyone became more enthusiastic about catching fish.
It took almost an hour to finally catch enough to satisfy Qin Zhizhi, and the children had a lot of fun.
After catching the crayfish, the old lady and the others went back to play mahjong, while Qin Zhizhi led everyone to clean the crayfish.
Qin Zhizhi asked someone to find a few clean large wooden basins and poured all the cleaned crayfish into the basins.
Add white vinegar and table salt in proportion, and then soak it.
Gu Jinghuai and his companions brought over a few large pots and set up a temporary stove here.
The barbecue grill, charcoal, etc. were all brought over, and Qin Zhizhi directed everyone to work together.
Qin Zhizhi wanted everyone to experience the joy of doing things by themselves today, so she even asked them to peel the garlic themselves.
After all the ingredients were prepared, Qin Zhizhi and the chef began to prepare today's dinner.
The first thing Qin Zhizhi made was grilled fish.
After cleaning the internal organs and scales, make a few diagonal cuts on both sides of the fish body (to make it easier to season), apply cooking wine and salt inside and out, and stuff it with ginger slices and green onion segments.
Qin Zhizhi explained to everyone while she was doing it. After all, they would be the ones to operate it later. The better they learned, the tastier the baked goods would be.
Qin Zhizhi asked about everyone's taste and prepared spicy, pepper, garlic, and sauce flavors (just use bean paste).
When marinating fish, you can stuff onion shreds into the fish belly to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor.
Adjust the seasoning and let it sit for a while to allow the fish to absorb the flavor.
Qin Zhizhi called Qin Shan and others to help make a fire. The charcoal used for grilling fish was exchanged by Qin Zhizhi and Wanwan, and it was of relatively good quality.
When the charcoal fire burns until the open flame disappears, brush a layer of oil on the grill and a thin layer of oil on the surface of the fish, and then you can start grilling.
When you start grilling, place the fish skin side down first, and then turn it over after it is shaped to prevent it from breaking. You can brush it with sauce during the grilling process.
Qin Zhizhi taught seriously, and the chefs learned even more seriously. After a short while, they were able to grill the fish.
Everyone was attracted by the fragrance.
"Sister-in-law, it smells so good, can I eat it now?"
"I didn't know fish could be grilled like this, it smells delicious!"
......
Everyone's eyes were like hooks, fixed on the grilled fish.
"Wait a moment, I'll just sprinkle this seasoning on it!"
Qin Zhizhi sprinkled some more seasonings, and a fragrance wafted out. Everyone couldn't help drooling when they smelled the fragrance.
"Everyone, try them first. Save some for the delicious food. Share these with Grandma and the others so they can have a taste too."
Qin Zhizhi was afraid that everyone would not be able to resist eating too much. After all, the crayfish had not been served yet and this was just an appetizer.
"knew!"
As soon as Qin Zhizhi put the fish on the table, everyone gathered around impatiently, and their chopsticks fell like raindrops.
Qin Zhizhi also picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. The fish meat was tender and not loose, spicy with a hint of numbness, and the numbness was fresh. She nodded with satisfaction. This was the taste.
After eating the grilled fish, others also praised it highly.
Qin Zhizhi picked out some of each flavor of grilled fish, put them on several plates, and personally carried them to her grandmother and the others.
They smelled the fragrance early on, and now when they saw Qin Zhizhi bringing the grilled fish over, they even stopped playing mahjong.
The grilled fish received unanimous praise from everyone. Even Gu Yunfei couldn't help but eat a few more bites. It was so delicious.
Qin Zhizhi was very happy to see that everyone was enjoying the meal, so she asked the chefs to grill a few more for the servants to share.
Today's ingredients are fully prepared and everyone has a share.
