Chapter 120 Boiled Pickled Fish
Add the magical well water and wait until the end to cover it with a clay jar. After that, no one can see what’s going on inside.
In this way, no one will notice that it is growing quickly, and they will not open and look at other people’s things that they cannot see.
After watering.
Chen Zixuan carried the clay jar over.
After making an almost deep outline around it, cover it, then add water and mud to the loess until it becomes more viscous, then paste it slightly on the edge of the cover, so that it will be stronger.
It will not fall off easily when the wind blows.
Follow the steps to cover the row of leeks one by one.
The work is finally over.
The night passed so quickly. Zhang Hongguo went back to eat after waiting for Xie Yang to come to watch the night in the square.
Chen Zixuan enters the small space manor.
Suddenly I thought of the wild vegetables I pickled last time.
I picked so many wild vegetables and dried some of them.
The other part is cleaned, and when cooking the porridge, it is boiled with rice water, then added with salt and rice water and soaked in a jar. After soaking for seven or eight days, it is probably ready to eat.
Open the lid of the kimchi jar.
A sour smell hit my nose, and it was a little fragrant. It seemed that I was quite successful in making sauerkraut.
He just wanted to give it a try.
Can wild vegetables be pickled to produce the effect of sauerkraut?
It looks like the effect is pretty good.
You can also make sauerkraut from wild vegetables. I grabbed a small handful and took a look at the color. It was ok, the same color as sauerkraut.
I randomly picked one out and tried it. The saltiness was just right. Fortunately, I didn’t add too much salt, otherwise it would be too salty.
After cleaning it, he cut a plate and took it out. Suddenly he thought of pickled fish, which he hadn't eaten for a long time.
Plus there are a few fish in the creek now.
It's just that they are scarce and a bit difficult to catch. The small ones are too small and don't have much meat. It's not good to catch the seedlings.
He plans to catch a fish that is neither too big nor too small to make pickled fish.
The kind that can be eaten by one person.
Pick up the net bag and go fishing.
It took ten minutes to catch what he wanted. Otherwise, the fish was too big and he felt he couldn't finish it and let it go.
After fishing out a palm-sized fish, clean it, cut the meat on both sides, and leave out the fish bones in the middle.
First cut the fish bones into sections, fry them in a pan, then add a little shredded ginger, add two bowls of water after oiling.
Put it on the coal stove to stew.
Chen Zixuan went to fillet fish again.
Fish fillets must be cut diagonally.
This way it is thinner and tastes more tender.
After cutting, put the fish fillets in a bowl, cut some shredded ginger, and beat an egg white into it.
Add a little salt and beat until smooth.
The egg white wraps the fish fillet, which is tender, smooth and delicious.
After the fish bones are boiled, put the sauerkraut in. After simmering, add a little oil and salt.
Clip the fish fillets piece by piece and put them in. The soup is snow-white and boils in a short while. Pour it out directly.
Then he brought over a pot filled with water and placed it on it to continue boiling. When it was hot, the bath water also boiled.
Don't cook it for too long, just bring it to a boil.
Otherwise, it will be easily cooked into dregs.
The rice has also been steamed. Chen Zixuan took the rice with chopsticks and fish fillets and ate it in one bite. It was very satisfying.
Compared to fish, Chen Zixuan prefers sauerkraut, which is sour, crispy and delicious. It would be even more delicious if paired with pork belly.
I finished a big pot of vegetables and rice, and I ate it cleanly. I even finished the juice with the rice.
After eating, he lay on the bed. He barely slept last night during the vigil, and now he felt sleepy so early in the morning.
Feeling sleepy, Chen Zixuan quickly picked up his clothes and went to take a shower. The weather was getting colder, so he had to take a shower with hot water.
After washing, I fell asleep in my pajamas.
Jijiji——jijijiji——
I don’t know how long I slept for, but I heard a faint sound and opened my eyes sleepily to look over.
I actually saw two rabbits running inside.
Chen Zixuan's eyes were wide open. The rabbit seemed much bigger than before, and it was fleshy all over.
I thought to myself that I had drank the well water. It had only been two days and I had already begun to gain weight visibly.
Well water seems to have more obvious effects at first.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw the rabbit running out, but it was already dark outside, so I took a quick look and went back to sleep.
You have to get enough sleep. I stayed up late yesterday and felt all groggy and not in good spirits.
Wake up.
Chen Zixuan was about to have breakfast and leave.
At this time, I heard someone knocking on the door.
It's too early, it's only six o'clock.
Is there anything wrong with you early in the morning?
When I opened the door, I saw that it was Zhang Hongguo.
Chen Zixuan looked around again, but there was no one else.
"Uncle, why are you here so early?"
"Why don't you take a rest for a while."
It’s still very early to start work!
Chen Zixuan only got up so early because he had to rush to the county town. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to get up. It would be so comfortable to lie down.
Zhang Hongguo waved his hand and walked in.
"I get used to getting up at this point."
"I thought you were about to go to the county seat. I have something I wanted to discuss with you as soon as possible."
This matter is also a bit difficult to talk about. After all, when asking for help, one should keep a low profile.
Chen Zixuan poured a glass of water in front of him. It was still warm. It was his habit to drink a glass of warm water after washing up in the morning.
Because after a night of sleep, the body will lack water, drinking a glass of warm water can promote gastrointestinal circulation and detoxification.
This has the effect of strengthening the stomach, digesting food, and increasing appetite.
"Uncle, it's not too late to drink some water first and then talk."
Early in the morning.
I guess I came here just after waking up and washing up.
After drinking a glass of water, Zhang Hongguo felt much better. The water seemed to be a little sweet.
Soon he understood.
This is most likely sugar water.
Cough cough cough——
After clearing his throat, Zhang Hongguo stopped worrying about whether the water was sugar water or not. What he wanted to say next was more important.
"Zixuan, are you free tomorrow? Can you ask for leave in the county? The village plans to pay the public food tomorrow, but Yunli and Xie Yang are not yet skilled enough to let them drive on the road."
There are a lot of passers-by, so what if you accidentally bump into someone? This is a human life, no joke.
So that’s what happened.
What did Chen Zixuan think it was?
To him, this is just a small thing!
Master Li is no longer in the repair shop.
There should be no one who deliberately finds fault with themselves.
"Okay, I'll see if I can take a leave. If I can take a leave, I can come back this afternoon."
Chen Zixuan didn't dare to agree directly. If there was something urgent at the repair shop, it would be embarrassing to break his promise if he agreed and then failed to fulfill it.
"Okay, I'm waiting for good news from you. Don't worry, the village will never let you work in vain, and you will be credited with work points."
Zhang Hongguo solemnly explained the nature of the work this time, regardless of the formal work of any collective.
It is impossible for the village to let everyone work in vain.
Chen Zixuan feels that it is not very important to him whether the work points are divided or not, but no one thinks that the work points are too many, and neither does he.
"Okay, uncle, I'll leave first, otherwise I won't be able to catch the car. You should also go back and have breakfast. This should work."
