Zhao Chunxi had seen Lin Yunchu making fried fish before, and it looked similar. After a while, as the fragrance wafted out of the pot, the fish pieces slowly turned into an attractive golden color.
You can tell the taste of this golden and fragrant thing will be great without even trying it.
On the other side, the fish bones that had just been steamed were also cooked by this time. Zhao Chunxi first took out a piece of firewood and let the fish bones in the pot simmer for a while.
Lin Yunchu took the bamboo basket beside him and scooped up the fried fish fillets from the pot.
While the oil in the pan is still hot, put the remaining fish bones in and fry them one by one. You will be making spicy fish bones later.
At this time, the steamed fish fillets with black bean sauce were brought out, a ladle of water was added to the pot, the previously marinated fish belly was put in, and firewood was added to continue steaming.
Using the same method, the fish bones in the pot were fried until golden brown. Lin Yunchu took the fried fish bones out of the pot and placed them in another large bowl for later use. Then he took another large bowl and poured out the remaining oil in the pot.
Leave a little oil on the surface of the pan, add the chopped ginger and garlic, stir-fry until fragrant, then add a little dried Sichuan peppercorns that Lin Yunchu picked from the mountains.
At this time, the garlic aroma emanating from the pot is already very tempting. Then pour the fried fish fillets into the pot, sprinkle in a little sugar, and stir-fry evenly.
Zhao Chunxi, who was standing aside, was amazed. It was fried, seasoned, and even had a little sugar added for flavor. How could it not be delicious?
Fortunately, the Lin family is doing better now. If it were in the past, let alone frying fish fillets, they would be reluctant to eat it even if they added more oil.
Seeing that the food in the pan was almost cooked, Lin Yunchu poured in a little vinegar and soy sauce and stir-fried it a few times.
“It smells so good!”
Zhao Chunxi couldn't help but raise her chin and take a breath, swallowing her saliva twice. It was so fragrant. She looked at Lin Yunchu and glanced at her.
Her face suddenly turned red, and she lowered her head embarrassedly and muttered a few words. It was really not her fault. The fish fillet was just too fragrant.
It smelled even better than the fried fish she had made before. It was still early in the morning, but when she smelled the aroma, her stomach couldn't help but growl twice. It was so embarrassing.
Lin Yunchu didn't say anything when she saw this, for fear that her cousin-in-law would feel embarrassed later. She looked at the fish fillets in the pot and saw that they were almost cooked, so she sprinkled a handful of chopped green onions into the pot, stir-fried them evenly, and then took them out of the pot.
The fragrance was so rich and tempting that even she couldn't help but want to taste it first. It was not surprising that Zhao Chunxi reacted like that just now.
Then clean the pot, add peppercorns and dried chilies after the oil is hot, stir-fry for a few times, then add ginger slices, onion segments, and garlic slices. Stir-fry for a few times, then pour the chopped fresh chilies into the pot and continue to stir-fry.
When the pot is almost cooked, pour the fried fish bones into the pot, sprinkle soy sauce and salt on the edge of the pot and stir-fry to season.
The fish bones have been fried. After stir-frying them slightly, they can be taken out of the pan. A fragrant and spicy fish bone is ready.
At this time, the fish belly that had just been steamed was also cooked. Zhao Chunxi took out the firewood and let the fish belly in the pot simmer for a while with the residual heat in the pot.
The next step is to make fish head tofu soup, which is quite simple.
Lin Yunchu moved quickly. After heating the oil in the pan, he put the fish head into the pan and carefully fried it until both sides were golden brown. Then he poured in freshly boiled hot water.
Put ginger slices into the pot and sprinkle with cooking wine. After the water boils, the fish soup in the pot will soon turn into a milky white color like white jade.
Bubbles are gurgling in the pot, then the chopped tofu is put into the pot, sprinkled with salt and seasonings, and the fish head tofu soup is ready.
The Lin family had eaten this soup many times, and Zhao Chunxi already knew how to make it, but this was the first time he saw it made with fish head. Unexpectedly, it looked just as good.
At this time, the fish belly that had been steamed in the pot was ready. Lin Yunchu took the fish belly out of the pot and picked out the shredded ginger on the top of the fish belly with chopsticks.
Replace the fish with freshly cut shredded ginger and green onion, heat a spoonful of hot oil in the pan, and pour it over the shredded ginger and green onion on top of the fish belly. Immediately, a fragrant onion aroma emanated, causing Zhao Chunxi on the side to swallow his saliva again.
Lin Yunchu scooped a spoonful of soy sauce and poured it on top, and the steamed fish belly was ready.
"Brother, haven't they come back yet? Why are they so late today?"
Lin Yunchu stuck his head out to look at the sky. Normally at this time, Lin Changting and his companions should have packed up their stall and returned to Qingxi Village.
Zhao Chunxi was about to respond when several voices were heard in the yard. Upon listening carefully, it was actually Lin Changting's voice, followed by Lin Chang'an's voice.
Lin Changan has a loud voice and usually likes to pester Lin Changting and Lin Yunchu with questions. He might have just bumped into Lin Changting who was coming back from closing his stall.
Lin Chang'an probably pulled him aside to ask about things in the town. Thinking of this, Lin Yunchu's mouth curled up slightly, and his mood seemed to be better.
Tonight's dinner is almost ready now. All that's left is some cold fish skin, some fried fish balls, and some stir-fried vegetables, and then we can start eating.
Boil water in a pot and put the fish skin in to cook.
At this time, start preparing the ingredients for the cold salad. Cut the onion, ginger, garlic, chili, coriander, etc. into small pieces and set them aside.
At this time, the fish skin in the pot was just cooked. Lin Yunchu scooped two scoops of cold water into the bowl, took out the cooked fish skin from the pot and soaked it in cold water for a while.
This way, it will be crisper and taste better when you eat it later.
Lin Changan smelled something and ran into the kitchen. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he started shouting:
"Sister, what are we eating tonight? Why does it smell so good? I couldn't help drooling in the yard just now."
After attending school, Lin Chang'an's temperament has become much more stable than before. In front of outsiders, he looks like a steady and quiet little scholar.
But when he returned home, in front of the Lin family, especially in front of Lin Yunchu, he was still so lively and never stopped talking.
Fortunately, the Lin family was very patient with him. They always listened to him patiently and answered his questions one by one.
"Yun Chu said we're having a fish feast tonight!"
Lin Yunchu was busy with his own work and had no time to spare, so Zhao Chunxi, who was standing beside him, responded with a smile.
"Fish feast!"
When he heard it was a fish feast, Lin Changan's eyes suddenly lit up. Ever since he had eaten the fish cooked by his elder sister, he loved eating fish very much.
Not only was there no fishy smell at all, but it was actually very fragrant. Just now in the yard, he heard Lin's father say that today Lin Yunchu used the fish caught in the river to make a new food called fish balls.
He had eaten the pork meatballs made at home before, and they were really delicious. The name of these fish balls sounds similar, so I guess they taste pretty good too.
