Chapter 79 Making Fish Head Soup(1/2)
I don’t know if it’s a hindrance or not, but the fish won’t survive until noon.
I don’t know what happened to Qi Zeqing in the past two days. He didn’t eat breakfast in the morning.
The place next door is not that lively. I drove the car into the yard, then put the fat-headed fish into the basin and poured in water first.
Zhang Yu walked to the corridor, stood on the bench and looked up. Qi Zeqing was with another female guest next door.
There is someone in the kitchen, but I can’t see who it is.
It's probably either Teacher Huang or Teacher He. These two can still cook. As for Luo Jin, he is probably digging the ground with the other guests.
At this moment, the two cats have gotten up and are sitting on another chair. Orange is lying down, closing his eyes and concentrating; while Tangbao is squatting, licking his paws and washing his face.
The fish in the basin suddenly moved, attracting the attention of the two cats.
Tangbao suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the water basin. Tangbao's eyes suddenly widened, and his right paw suddenly stopped in the air. The whole cat suddenly became motionless.
Zhang Yu looked strange.
Just as the fat-headed fish in the basin moved again, the two cats became interested.
Tang Bao jumped down from the chair and walked cautiously towards the direction of the fat-headed fish. After looking at it for a while, Tang Bao also jumped down and followed Tang Bao and walked slowly over.
I guess the soup dumpling smelled fishy, so I heard it meow, then put its front feet on the edge of the basin, lowered its head and started to smell it.
After Juzuo walked over, he stretched his head to look, and also called out.
Suddenly, the fat-headed fish moved, and the soup dumpling suddenly raised its head.
This response is really fast.
After looking at it for a while, I guess there is no big problem. With their small bodies, they are not as heavy as a fish.
Zhang Yu took a stainless steel basin, filled it with water, and put the tofu in piece by piece. As for the seasonings he bought, put them in the seasoning jar, or put them in the cabinet.
I checked the time and it wasn't even ten o'clock.
I simply went back to the house, took out my notebook and pen, and continued writing.
On the other side, Qi Zeqing is helping to process the materials for lunch.
The female guest this time is called Xu Xiaoxiao, who was born as a child star. As she has grown older in the past two years, she has encountered the same problem that all child stars encounter - transformation.
After all, no celebrity wants everyone to still have the same impression of them as they did when they were children.
She happened to be out of work during this period, so "Dream Life" contacted her and came directly.
Just enough money, not shabby.
"Sister Qi, how do you do this?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked Qi Zeqing who was sitting in the yard with a handful of vegetables...
Qi Zeqing glanced at it and kept his hands on it, "Just take it and wash it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Teacher Huang from the kitchen said quickly through the window: "Let me do it, you go and help peel the edamame." It seemed that the owner had never cooked before, so he had to wash the vegetables himself, otherwise he wouldn't know where to start.
What can you eat when you eat?
Xu Xiaoxiao let out an 'ouch', then sent the dishes to the kitchen, then sat next to Qi Zeqing to help peel the edamame.
Even though Director Yan wished they would suffer, he was quite generous in terms of food.
The premise is that you can complete the tasks set by him, such as how much land to plant in a day.
Yesterday's tasks could only be exchanged for some vegetables, so those who were not used to eating vegetables directly exchanged them for edamame.
Director Yan was not stingy and directly gave them two kilograms of edamame.
Emmm... It’s so generous for seven or eight people to eat two pounds of edamame!
Having just peeled a few edamame, Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at the kitchen and asked in a low voice: "Sister Qi, were you next door last night?" Her tone was normal, but there was a hint of gossip in her eyes.
Qi Zeqing was startled, glanced at her, and said softly, "Hmm".
Hiss~~~
Xu Xiaoxiao secretly took a breath of air-conditioning, and the gossipy look in her eyes became even bigger.
Who is next door?
What is she going to do?
Dating?
Qi Zeqing's expression was dull. She didn't know that Xu Xiaoxiao had already formed a story in her mind during these few seconds.
However, as a woman's intuition, Qi Zeqing still said one more thing, "Let's go eat."
"Eat...eat?" Xu Xiaoxiao looked confused.
Go next door just to eat?
Is it a candlelight dinner?
Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and Qi Zeqing's eyes became strange when he looked at him.
It was obvious that something was wrong with Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes, so Qi Zeqing muttered to herself, "Well... what is she thinking?"
It was almost time, Zhang Yu got up and went to lunch.
Let’s cook the rice first.
Then he took a wooden stick and walked to the basin.
By now the two cats had given up on the big fish and were squatting on the chairs and squinting their eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Yu walked to the water basin, and the two cats meowed twice, then jumped down from the chair and walked towards Zhang Yu.
He has experience in killing fish.
I don’t know if this fat-headed fish felt that Zhang Yu’s arrival was unkind. It moved its tail and immediately caused a splash of water.
Squat down and reach for the fat-headed fish.
Suddenly, a strong force came from the fish. Zhang Yu slipped his hand, and the fat-headed fish immediately slipped away.
Ha~
Do you really think I can’t help it?
Zhang Yu didn't bother to catch anymore. He stretched out his right hand to lift the side of the basin and poured the water slowly.
As for your left hand, stay in front of the fish and don’t take the opportunity to slip out.
When the water dried up, Zhang Yu looked at the fat-headed fish in the basin, picked up a wooden stick and hit the fish on the head.
A ‘bang’ sound.
The fish was stunned. Its tail moved once and then stopped.
Is it a shame?
Do you really think I can’t help it?
Don't tell me that you are so big, you are just a whale. As long as the stick is big enough, you will be stunned if you hit your head.
While the fat-headed fish was dazed, Zhang Yu took a knife and began to scrape the fish's scales, then disembowelled it.
Two cats kept meowing nearby, and Zhang Yu ignored them.
If you have the ability, go catch your own fish!
Clean the fat-headed fish, take it to the kitchen, and then use a knife to separate the head and body.
Let’s make the fish head soup first. This stuff needs to be simmered.
Use a knife to chop the fish head in half, and then remove the black film inside. This thing must be removed, and then hide the fins. If these two things are not removed, it will be very fishy. After washing,
Apply a flower knife.
That's it, just put it on the plate and set aside. Then Zhang Yu took a handful of green onions and a piece of ginger and washed them.
Cut the green onions into sections and slice the ginger, then put them into a bowl and set aside.
Heat oil in a pan.
Heat the pot first, then add oil and shake the oil pot so that the entire pot is covered with oil.
Because he needs to fry the fish head, these steps must be done. He doesn't want fish skin on the pan. After all, this is not a non-stick pan.
When it was almost cooked, Zhang Yu poured the oil directly into the oil basin, and then added some cold oil again.
Shaking the oil pan, when the oil was almost five levels hot, Zhang Yu put the fish head in, and the smell came out immediately.
Then continue to shake the pot to heat the fish head evenly. Add onion and ginger and continue frying until the surface of the fish head turns golden. That’s it. The heat in this step is very important. If the time is long, it will be overcooked. If it is short, it will not be flavorful enough.
.
The fishy smell is already very small now. If you don’t smell it carefully, you can’t smell it at all.
Seeing that it was almost done, Zhang Yu added a little white wine.
Suddenly, a scent of wine rushed into his nose. Zhang Yu smelled it and quickly continued to shake the pot.
It must be white wine, the cooking wine doesn’t taste right.
To be continued...
