Chapter 106 Pepper Fish



Li Yan handed the money to me, Mrs. Wu, and was too lazy to listen to the two old ladies chatting there.

When she returned home, the fish in the kitchen had not been cleaned yet, so she went to the stream with the fish in her hand.

After cleaning the fish, it was time for dinner.

"How about we have crucian carp soup for lunch?" Lin asked her daughter.

Lin immediately pan-fried the crucian carp over low heat, then added warm water. Simmered it gently for half an hour, until the broth turned milky white. Removed the crucian carp, added the noodles, and sprinkled them with chopped green onions before serving.

The fish was taken out and placed on a plate. Because crucian carp has many bones, they were worried that it would get stuck on Li Yan.

Lin sat on a stool, patiently picking out the fish bones. The delicate fish meat piled up on a plate.

Li Yan brought two bowls of fish soup noodles, and Lin poured the fish meat into Li Yan's bowl.

Li Yan hurriedly stopped him: "Mom, this is to nourish your body!"

"You are a child too. Eating more fish is good for your health!"

The mother and daughter were very polite to each other, and finally they shared the fish on the plate!"

Li Yan had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she remembered what she had promised Uncle Zhou and started planning for tomorrow in her mind.

If you want to sell this fish to a restaurant, there must be a strong demand for the fish in the restaurant.

Otherwise, even if Manager Qian accepted Uncle Zhou's fish, the quantity would definitely not be too large.

Thinking of this, Li Yan thought of the peppercorns she bought at the grocery store last time.

She took the peppercorns out of the kitchen and had a good idea.

If she sells this new way of cooking fish to Piaoxianglou, the amount of fish used will certainly not be small. Then she can ask the owner of Piaoxianglou to buy Zhou Bo's fish!

Thinking of this, I just did it.

Li Yan carefully sliced ​​the black fish she brought back in the morning, and marinated the fish with onion, ginger, garlic and wine for later use.

Seeing that it was still early, Li Yan went to the study to write a story. She wrote until dusk before she finished the story of taming Bajie.

Looking at the thick stack of manuscripts, I hope Zheng Hui will be satisfied.

After stretching, Li Yan left the room to prepare the pepper fish for tonight.

First put the fish bones into the pot and stir-fry, then pour in warm water and simmer on low heat for half an hour.

Heat the oil in a wok, add ginger and scallions and stir-fry until fragrant, add fish bone soup, sake, salt and other seasonings and bring to a boil. Pour the fish fillets that have been marinated for the whole afternoon into the wok and cook until 90% cooked, then pour into a large bowl.

Finally, heat the oil in a pan, add the Sichuan peppercorns and fry until fragrant, then pour the oil over the fish fillets. A rich aroma will waft from the kitchen.

Li Erlang, who had just returned home after a busy day, asked, "What's that girl drumming about? I'm getting hungry just by hearing it!"

Lin said, "They started preparing it this afternoon. They said it was new food."

Li Yan saw her father had returned and hurriedly called out, "Dinner is ready, dinner is ready."

Because she was worried that her parents couldn't eat the peppercorns, Li Yan specially made another serving of pickled fish.

The family of three sat around the small table and started eating.

Li Erlang had eaten pickled fish before, but had never tried pepper fish, so he picked up a piece with his chopsticks.

A strange spicy taste spread from the tip of the tongue to the mouth, and Li Erlang started coughing because of the stimulating taste.

Lin patted her husband on the back and asked, "What happened?"

Li Erlang recovered his breath and waved his hands: "It's nothing, don't worry, I just choked!"

Lin Yan devoured the meal, but it still lacked some flavor. There was too little seasoning, and the most important thing, the soul pepper, was missing! Li Yan felt a little regretful.

After Li Erlang drank some water and recovered, he said, "This taste is really unique. Now that I think about it, I'm eager to try it again!"
