Chapter 128 Ice Fishing
Jiang Si ate a lot of raw wintersweet flowers in his previous life, so the wintersweet flower cakes made by Shen Baoying must be delicious.
Jiang Si nodded, "I'll pick some for you."
"Okay, pick the ones that have just opened a little bit. The petals are very tender and fragrant."
After hearing this, Niuniu quickly said, "Sister, I'll pick them too, I'll pick them too."
Jiang Si smiled and said, "Okay, I'll get you a small basket."
I collected half a basket of wintersweet flowers from two wintersweet trees.
Chen Baoying boiled warm water, took the wintersweet flowers, removed the pedicels and heads, washed them in warm water, picked them up, and added them to the prepared egg and flour mixture, stirring evenly.
There was only charcoal fire in the ice house, and if Shen Baoying wanted to make pancakes, she had to control the temperature.
A ball of batter swayed in the non-stick pan, and the dough gradually curled up and turned yellow. Shen Baoying raised her hand and flipped it over easily.
The golden and brilliant pancakes made Jiang Si and Niuniu exclaim that Shen Baoying had good skills.
Shen Baoying smiled complacently: "Just practice more, it's very simple."
Niuniu was eager to try, and Shen Baoying handed her a small pot. The most difficult part was flipping the dough. Although she was young, she was very smart. Her dough was not as round as Shen Baoying's, nor as evenly colored and beautiful, but it was already comparable to Jiang Si's.
While it was still hot, everyone tore open the winter plum cakes and tasted them. They were soft, sweet and very delicious.
Jiang Sidao: "Not bad, it's delicious."
Niuniu also liked it very much and said cleverly: "We can pick some winter plums, dry them and preserve them. We can use them whenever we want to eat winter plum cakes or make winter plum tea in the future."
Shen Baoying pinched her little face and praised: "Niuniu is really smart."
Niu Niu lowered her eyes embarrassedly. She wanted to grow up quickly. She also wanted to be a useful person to everyone and repay everyone for their care for her.
Pancakes with mutton soup are absolutely delicious.
The hot mutton soup was boiling in the hot pot. Jiang Si went to call them to eat. Qin Shen and Jiang Linhai didn't know what they had done, and they all had a pile of snow on their heads.
Jiang Si walked over to pat Jiang Linhai, and he pushed her in front of Qin Shen.
Jiang Si met Qin Shen's eyes, reached out to his shoulder, and gently patted the snow residue, "How did it become like this?"
Qin Shen said, "Concrete freezes too easily. Uncle Jiang said we should first build a small shed and light a heater to maintain the temperature of the concrete before pouring it directly into the ground."
Jiang Si looked at the wood on the ground and suddenly realized that they must have gone to move wood, no wonder they were covered in snow.
"Are you cold? Let's go back and eat and warm ourselves by the fire. You'll get hypothermia if you're out for too long."
Qin Shen shook his head, "It's not cold."
After Jiang Linhai and Lu Zhifeng took pictures of the snow, they walked forward, leaving the space to them.
Jiang Si hesitated for a moment, then took his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go back and eat."
"good."
Jiang Si and Qin Shen had not yet reached the ice house, but from a distance they could see that the curtain had been opened a little, and several heads were looming and swaying.
Jiang Si glanced at Qin Shen helplessly, "Everyone is very satisfied with you."
Qin Shen suddenly stopped and asked, "Are you not satisfied?"
The dark eyes were full of aggression, and seemed to be oppressing the audience without an answer.
Jiang Si curled the corners of her mouth, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips through the mask, "What do you think?"
The two knew what was going on, smiled at each other, and walked back to the ice house hand in hand.
It only excited the worried people in the ice house.
After eating the hot mutton soup and the pancakes, everyone felt full of energy.
Jiang Linhai led the men to continue building the greenhouse. Jiang Si planned to take Niuniu to the beach to ice fish and see if there were any fish still alive in this area.
The first step in ice fishing is to break the ice. The temperature has risen a bit in recent days, and the sea ice has obviously become much thinner.
But it was also more than one meter thick, and could easily bear their weight.
Jiang Si took out an electric drill and, without much effort, broke a hole in the ice about one meter long.
Fish that can withstand sudden and drastic changes in weather are generally big fish.
Jiang Si flipped over the large anchor hook and taught Niu Niu how to do it.
These are survival skills that will be very useful for her to survive independently in the future.
In her previous life, she had no hooks to fish, so she tried every possible way and was even forced to jump into the water to catch fish.
In this life, I have an electric drill, a fishing rod, various auxiliary tools and fish feed, and I feel very happy.
After waiting patiently for a while, suddenly, the fishing rod moved, and the huge pulling force almost pulled Jiang Si into the sea.
Fortunately, Jiang Si was experienced and was able to gain a firm foothold.
This fish was really big and it immediately straightened the fishing line.
After struggling for a while, Jiang Si finally pulled the fish up amid Niu Niu's cheers.
The fish caught was a big grouper, weighing about seven or eight kilograms.
Grouper is a nutritious blessing, with tender and white meat. It contains astaxanthin, which can delay aging and enhance immunity, delaying brain decline. It tastes a bit like chicken. The Sun Country likes to make it into sashimi. The fish meat is crystal clear and extremely delicious.
In China, it is mostly steamed or braised, but no matter the cooking method, it is extremely popular.
It is rare to catch such a large wild grouper in China. This one alone is enough for everyone to stew a pot tonight.
Jiang Si was in a good mood and prepared to catch a few more fish.
At the same time, I also found a small fishing rod and let Niu Niu try it.
As soon as the rod was cast, it was like poking a nest of grouper fish, one after another came up. Niu Niu was exhausted and out of breath, but she developed a strong interest in fishing. Jiang Si was ready to put away the rod, but she still wanted to catch a few more fish.
Jiang Si couldn't help laughing. Niu Niu was so young, but she actually looked like a fisherman.
It’s good to have a hobby. Children should play.
Jiang Si continued fishing with her. She helped with the big fish and fished the small fish herself.
I only have one fishing rod, and the fish box is too full to hold all the fish, so I have to use a net bag.
Jiang Si and Niuniu dragged the net bag and fish box back to the ice house. Shen Baoying was stunned when she saw it, "So many fish!"
Jiang Si smiled and said, "I just caught it randomly. It's already dead. Kill the fish and process it. I'll feed the entrails to the moose."
Shen Baoying gave them both a thumbs up and said, "That's amazing. I'll go call your grandma back and we can handle this together."
"good."
Everyone gathered around the stove in the ice house, killing, mincing and scaling the fish in one go. The fishy smell was quite strong. Fortunately, Niu Niu was smart and went outside to cut a few wintersweets and put them in the ice house, which made the air much fresher.
Shen Baoying sighed, "These two wintersweets are really treasures."
Zhang Qingfang laughed and said, "Everything in this icy world is a treasure." Seeing Jiang Si loading the internal organs, he asked curiously, "Aren't moose supposed to be vegetarians? Can they eat these organs?"
Jiang Sidao said, "I've checked the animal encyclopedia. Besides eating plants, they occasionally go into the water to catch fish for themselves. They can eat them, and they also provide high-quality protein for the female moose to ensure that her milk supply is sufficient."
