Comfortable days always pass by very quickly. The cold winter passes, spring comes, and the temperature quickly warms up.
The people who had been hibernating started working hard in the fields again, and Little Stone ran more happily!
At noon that day, Chu Xi ate lunch early again, fed the chickens and ducks that she had deliberately left out in the open, and then went out again with her cute baby.
But this time, not long after I went out, I saw two male educated youth, happily returning from the river carrying bags covered in mud.
"These loaches are really fat. Only the villagers here don't eat them, so they leave them for us."
"Yeah, there's so much meat by the river. It's only been a short while and we've already got a bag of it. We'll never be short of meat in the future..."
Loach is a very common thing here, but everyone is usually busy all day long, so only those naughty kids will occasionally go and catch some loach. They find it troublesome and wasteful, and they don’t know how to cook it, so people rarely take it seriously. This is a good opportunity for the educated youth from the city.
Chu Xi pretended to pass by casually, listening to the sound gradually fading away, and an idea flashed in his mind.
Okay, let’s catch loaches. I wonder if I can find a way for everyone.
Loach is delicious and nutritious, with high protein and low fat content. It can lower blood lipids and blood pressure. It is both a delicious delicacy and a popular food. It is known as "the dove in the sky, the loach on the ground" and "the ginseng in the water".
It is delicious, nutritious, easy to obtain, and affordable.
The edible part of loach accounts for about 80% of the entire fish body, which is higher than that of general freshwater fish.
It is edible for the general population, and is especially suitable for those who are weak, have a weak spleen and stomach, are malnourished, and children with night sweats. It helps growth and development!
This is exactly what Little Stone needs. Looks like he needs to eat loaches more often...
Chu Xi hurriedly walked towards the river with the small stone, but just as he arrived at the river, he saw muddy water being brought up from the mud in the river bay from time to time.
When you release your mental power, you will find that there are not only many loaches here, but also many fish in the river.
Yes, the fishing techniques and conditions at that time were very poor, not to mention that everyone had no time.
Loach is a bottom-dwelling fish that lives on the bottom of various shallow and muddy water environments such as rivers, lakes, ditches, paddy fields, and ponds.
They are nocturnal and highly adaptable, able to survive in environments rich in humus. When oxygen is scarce in the water, they can leap to the surface and swallow air for intestinal respiration. When a pool of water dries up, they burrow into the mud, where they survive as long as the soil remains moist with a small amount of water.
Looking at the two naughty kids catching loaches by the river, Chu Xi's eyes flashed, and he started to fool them as skillfully as before.
"Dazhu, Erzhu, you are touching loaches, how amazing!" The two little kids blushed a little when the beautiful aunt said that, and they didn't know how to respond.
Chu Xi, who was trying to get close to him, couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he was used to it. Many children in the village were like this. They would be so happy when he praised them that he didn't know why. So he had no choice but to speak again.
"Dazhu, Erzhu, can you help me out? I'm alone at home, and I want to make some meat for your little brother, Little Stone. But we don't have any meat at home, so I want you to help me catch some loaches."
Afraid that they would not agree, Chu Xi took out a handful of candy from his pocket, thought for a while, and took out two cents from his pocket.
"Help me catch two kilograms of loaches, and I'll give these to you in exchange!"
The two little ones were already prepared to agree. Aunt Chu was usually very nice to others and helped them with their homework. She was a very good person, especially the candy in her pocket was especially sweet.
Then they saw the sweet milk candy and two cents again, and they were instantly excited. Candy and money were what they desired the most. They told all the children in the village that they could have a piece of candy, and they had never had so much money before.
In an instant, the river water surged and mud splashed. The naughty kids became violent and both of them ignored their clothes. Just now they were more concerned about being beaten when they got home, but now nothing is more important than candy and money!
So, in half an hour, Chu Xi got more than ten kilograms of loaches, and she couldn't ask for more even if she didn't want to, while the two children got candy and money, and were beaten up when they got home. However, their parents became suspicious when they saw them grinning even after being beaten. They wondered if these two children had gone crazy.
Xiao Shitou, who was looking excited, and Xiao Hui, who was beginning to evolve into a Husky, returned home. They were thrown into a basin of water and some chili peppers were added to make the loach spit out the mud.
In fact, Chu Xi knew several ways to deal with loaches. She had learned a lot during her more than ten years of wandering in later generations. She was powerful and no longer afraid of any force. During her wandering, she put a lot of thought on food. In addition, she had collected billions of supplies in a wild way, so she had a lot of free time.
Some people like to pickle them with salt. Drain the water from the loach, pour it into a basin, add salt at a ratio of ten to one, and immediately cover it with a lid. After 20 minutes, the loach will actively spit out all the dirt and dirt in its body.
The method Chu Xigang used was to put the loach in clean water and then add two chopped peppers. The loach would spit out the mud in its stomach. After the loach spit out the mud, add a little wine and shake it. When the loach was drunk, use salt and water to remove the sticky juice.
This method is relatively clean and thorough, and she did it since she had nothing to do and didn't mind the trouble.
Another way is to drop a few drops of vegetable oil or sesame oil into the basin where the loach is placed, let the oil droplets scatter on the water surface, and the loach will automatically spit out the dirt in its stomach. However, this method consumes more oil, so most rural people will not do this.
Chu Xi was just staring at the loach in the basin, in a daze.
What should she do? As a self-proclaimed food expert, she has difficulty making choices.
Just stir-fry the loach, it tastes better.
But let's go back to the space and do it, lest the smell cause any trouble. What's worrying is not the lack of food but the uneven distribution of food. People are starving, and you are eating meat at home. It's a bit too much.
So he closed the door, took the little stone back to the space, and started to work. The two little ones also surrounded Chu Xi and watched curiously.
Cut off the head, cut the abdomen in half from the tail to the head, and then wash the internal organs with clean water.
Stir-fry slowly until golden brown, then remove from the heat, fry the peppercorns until fragrant, add the chopped onion, ginger, garlic and dried chilies, fry until fragrant, add light soy sauce, sugar, and other ingredients until fragrant, then add the stir-fried loach, stir-fry repeatedly until evenly mixed, add salt and chicken essence, and serve.
In the space, the two people and the wolf were enjoying the delicious food again, with a look of satisfaction on their faces.
It even attracted the wolves at the edge of the forest. He had no choice but to give each wolf a taste. There wasn't much left, and they were so excited eating it. I guess Chu Xi had become the incarnation of a god in front of these creatures.
