Back home, Yao Yulin and Zhihua had already sliced all the potatoes.
"Yinyin, you're back!"
"Wow, sister, so many fish!"
At this moment, Yao Yulin and Zhihua were each busy with their own things. Zhihua was studying, while Yao Yulin was sewing clothes.
When the two saw the eight lively fish in the Zhiyin bucket, they both widened their eyes in delight.
"Hehe, yes."
After saying this, Zhiyin found a large basin and put the fish in it.
Then they started frying potato chips.
"Yinyin, do you need to wash this fish? Do you want us to help you?"
Yao Yulin stared at the fish in the basin and asked.
Seeing the coal ball struggling to catch the fish, she quickly swatted it away. When it curiously tried to continue, she immediately put on a stern face and said, "Don't move."
Seeing that Yao Yulin was really angry, Coal Ball dared not move anymore and obediently lay on the ground, looking innocently at Zhiyin with its big, round, black eyes.
Zhiyin smiled and patted its head. "It's okay, I'll wash it later."
After saying that, he got busy on his own.
Soon, the sound of oil splattering and crackling filled the room, and the familiar, rich aroma of potato chips instantly spread out.
Because sales were so good today, they used a total of over 20 kilograms of potatoes.
After adding chili peppers and mixing well, it will be packaged into approximately 200 bags.
Since most people prefer the original and spicy flavors during the day and dislike wasabi and sweet flavors, Zhiyin didn't mix those two flavors anymore, and only made spicy and original flavors.
"Yinyin, you go and do other things. Just bag them and leave it to us."
Yao Yulin looked at Zhiyin with heartache in her eyes and quickly said.
"OK!"
Zhiyin didn't stand on ceremony. She smiled at Yao Yulin and then began to kill, wash, and slice the fish.
She was very skilled at killing fish, finishing one in no time.
Soon they started preparing bean sprouts, shredded tofu, potatoes, cabbage, and other ingredients.
Then mince the scallions, ginger, and garlic, and cut the dried chili peppers into sections.
Then, a small amount of glutinous rice was taken out and soaked.
"Yinyin, what are you planning to do? Why are you behaving so strangely?"
As Yao Yulin neatly packed her things, she asked with a puzzled expression.
Zhiyin smiled and said, "I'm going to make a spicy boiled fish and some simple glutinous rice. I'll take it to the people at the academy to try tomorrow."
"If everyone at the academy likes it, then we can earn several more sources of income."
As she spoke, she winked playfully, her eyes full of anticipation, as if she could already imagine the scene of huge sums of money flowing in, her lips almost stretching to her ears.
"Haha, our Yinyin is a woman of her own mind, Mom believes in you."
Although Yao Yulin didn't know how to make spicy boiled fish, she couldn't help but look forward to it when she saw Zhiyin's confident appearance.
…
Before I knew it, it was the next day.
Because of the heavy workload this morning, Zhiyin got up very early.
As soon as we arrived, we couldn't wait to start preparing.
First, I put the glutinous rice and regular rice that I had soaked yesterday into a steamer and started steaming them.
Next, pour the dried starch that settled from washing the potatoes last night into the fish fillets, add cooking wine, salt, etc., and knead evenly to marinate for about 15 minutes.
Next, heat oil in a wok, add dried chili powder and five-spice chili powder, and stir-fry with scallions, ginger, garlic and Sichuan peppercorns until fragrant.
In an instant, a unique, domineering, and pungent fragrance wafted over.
The connoisseur smelled it and immediately smiled with satisfaction.
Although it can't compare to the flavors of modern cooking with plenty of seasonings, it's still very fragrant.
But that wasn't all. She immediately added soy sauce, pepper, and Sichuan peppercorn oil, along with a little water and salt to taste. She then covered the pot and waited for the water to boil.
About five minutes later, the water boiled, and the air was filled with a unique and rich aroma. Just smelling it made my mouth water; it was spicy, numbing, and fragrant all at once.
Without pausing, she immediately put the bean sprouts and other side dishes into the pot to blanch them, then took them out and placed them at the bottom of a small pot that had been prepared in advance.
"Wow... Sister, it smells so good! Is this spicy boiled fish?"
"I want to try the taste of painting too!"
Zhihua sniffed, stood on tiptoe, and stared intently at the bright red broth in the pot, which looked delicious. Her eyes were full of longing for food.
Not only her, but even Yao Yulin standing next to her was unsettled.
It smells so good at the beginning; once it's fully cooked, won't it smell so good that people want to bite their tongues?
"Haha, you little glutton, don't worry, there's some!"
After all, this big pot of food was just for tasting, so everyone had a chance to try it.
"Okay, sister."
Zhihua obediently got up, dressed, and sat down at the dining table.
As Zhiyin spoke, she continued what she was doing. After all the side dishes were placed at the bottom of the pot, she quickly cooked the fish slices and poured them into a bowl along with the hot soup.
In addition, sprinkle a little bit of minced scallions, ginger, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns, sesame seeds, and the previously chopped red chili peppers on the surface of the fish fillets.
Finally, heat a little oil and quickly pour it into the bowl.
As the sizzling sound of oil wafted through the air, the aroma intensified, filling almost the entire room with its domineering spicy fragrance.
"Ta-da! It's done!"
Zhiyin lifted the pot onto the table, and smelled the fragrant and unique aroma, feeling extremely satisfied.
I feel like I could brag about it for two bowls of rice.
"Wow, sister, can we eat now?"
Zhihua had already prepared the bowls and chopsticks, her eyes already brimming with anticipation, as if they would spring into action at Zhiyin's command.
"Please wait a moment."
Zhiyin said that she had taken out half of the boiled fish.
Then, looking at the other half of the fish, he smiled and said, "We can start eating now!"
At the same time, she was also glad that the fish was big enough, otherwise there might not have been so many.
"Yay, my sister is so nice!"
Xue'er looked at the boiled fish covered in red oil, swallowing her saliva incessantly. She couldn't wait to pick up a piece of fish and stuff it into her mouth.
The next second her eyes lit up instantly, "Delicious, delicious!"
"This fish is so tender! It's fragrant, spicy, and numbing, and incredibly flavorful. Oh my god, how can something be so delicious?"
As she spoke, she couldn't wait to pick up the shredded tofu and other side dishes, her eyes shining brightly.
I didn't even have time to say anything, all I could do was enjoy the boiled fish with rice.
Yao Yulin was constantly hissing from the spiciness, her lips turning bright red, yet she couldn't stop eating.
I feel like I could eat two bowls of rice!
Most importantly, it's incredibly delicious with rice, and even the side dishes are super flavorful.
"Haha, isn't it delicious?"
Zhiyin found it amusing, but was also very pleased with the two's performance.
She knew that boiled fish had a unique and unforgettable flavor that was so delicious it was addictive, making you want to keep eating it.
