Laba porridge is needed for Laba. Yesterday, Mrs. Lin and Wang Chunxi were busy cooking a lot of Laba porridge in the kitchen. Every family in the village sent it, including the Yuan family, the Hu family, and the Lihua family.
I also drank Laba porridge for three meals a day.
Some people have to drink Laba porridge for several days.
But Song Qiu said that drinking Laba on that day was enough for the whole day, so there was no need for it today and he could cook as usual.
Therefore, when Song Qiu went there, the kitchen was busy preparing lunch.
She was overdressed and unable to move, and Song Qiu was afraid of the cold, so she asked Mrs. Zhu to light two more braziers in the kitchen. Then she took off her thick cotton-padded jacket, put on an apron, and began to work.
The Lins only knew that the girl was going to cook delicious food again, and they all watched without blinking. It was really a pleasure to watch the girl cook.
The three later Zhus, mother and daughter, had never met before. Seeing that the girl went to the kitchen in person, I was surprised and curious.
Can the girl cook?
This is the first time I've seen a girl who works in the kitchen herself.
Mrs. Lin saw the three of them with their jaws dropped in shock, and couldn't help but said: "You don't know what our girls do, we run an inn! The dishes in the inn are the first in the whole Dali calendar, and they are not available anywhere else.
But I can’t eat it!”
After saying that, he came up and asked Song Qiu with a smile: "What are you doing today, girl? What do you need? I will help you."
Song Qiuzheng looked at the several large grass carp that he bought in the kitchen today. He nodded and said: "Today I'm going to make something I've never eaten before, grilled fish! You can find the set of things that Butler Du sent in before and wipe them.
.”
"Butler Du sent it to you before? Girl, are you talking about the iron cages?" After listening to this, Mrs. Lin hurriedly pulled out a long strip from under the cabinet. It didn't look like the two clamps, but it was also made of iron.
things, as well as several long iron plates and several iron things with four legs.
The long one, she called it an iron cage.
The bottom looks like a box, but it's made of iron. There are just a few iron bars on top, which looks no different from the iron cage.
She always wondered what it was for.
Grilled fish?
Use this iron cage?
Song Qiu heard her call it an iron cage, which was funny. It was a barbecue grill, but there wasn't one here. Just looking at it like this, it didn't look like an iron cage.
"Wipe it clean and put charcoal inside to light it."
Song Qiu Ma quickly caught the fish, scraped its scales and removed its gills.
When Mrs. Lin heard that she wanted to use the iron cage as a charcoal basin, she also muttered, but without saying a word, she told Mrs. Zhu to do it, and she came over to help kill the fish.
Seeing that she was so numb, he wanted to kill her like a boiled fish. Song Qiu quickly taught her how to break the back of the fish and keep the belly together without breaking.
After several grass carps were killed, Song Qiu taught Lin how to apply soy sauce first, then sweet potato starch, and put them aside to let the flavor last.
When Zhu lit up the charcoal and the grill was ablaze, Song Qiu took the grilled fish tongs, flattened the flavored fish and put it in, then put it on the grill to grill.
The grill was made long, so it was no problem to grill two fish at the same time. Song Qiu also asked Lin to use another grilling tong to grill the fish as she did.
When the fish is grilled until both sides are dry and golden, and the fish meat is almost cooked, brush both sides of the fish with a layer of red oil and continue grilling until it is browned and crispy.
Then sprinkle in a handful of fennel powder.
Fennel powder, also known as cumin, is not common in the market here, is not easy to get, and is very expensive. This small bag costs a lot of money.
But without this, grilled fish would have no soul.
So Song Qiu spent a lot of effort and asked Fan Jin to help find it.
Sprinkle with fennel powder and roast until fragrant, and the fish is ready to be grilled. Use tongs and place the grilled fish on a special iron plate made by Song Qiu from the blacksmith shop. There is a layer of soybean sprouts spread under the iron plate.
After the two fish were roasted, Song Qiu asked Lin and Wang Chunxi to continue roasting the rest.
She prepared side dishes here.
Slice garlic and ginger, cut konjac into cubes, cut celery into sections, slice lotus root, etc.
Aling, his three disciples and Ye Fanglian ran home sweating profusely. They took a shower and changed their clothes. When they came to find Song Qiu, all they smelled was the fragrance spraying out from the kitchen.
"It smells so good! What are you making delicious?"
New Year and Lu Jing also ran quickly out of curiosity, "Auntie, you finally made delicious food for us! What is it? Is it so fragrant?"
Seeing that they were back and it was almost noon, Song Qiu immediately shouted to start dinner.
He led people to move things to Lao Yuan's small hall and dining room.
The grilled fish rack is filled with charcoal and is placed on the table. The iron plate is placed on it. There is a grilled fish lying on its stomach, with red and green side dishes on top. As soon as the charcoal at the bottom is heated, the iron plate starts to cook gurglingly, and the aroma is...
Simply.
Song Qiu only cooked two pieces of grilled fish for them to eat, and taught Lin how to stir-fry the rest. When the time comes, there will be one for each of them, and the grilled fish rack and iron plate are enough.
The two grilled fish here, considering the two old people, Old Yuan and Grandma Song, so Song Qiu made one spicy and the other not spicy.
Eat whatever flavor you want.
But obviously, the spicy grilled fish with dried chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns was more popular. Even though Lao Yuan and Grandma Song were eating spicy food, they couldn't help but eat two more chopsticks before switching to non-spicy ones.
of.
If I wasn't afraid of stomach discomfort from spicy food, I would have eaten the spicy food if I really wanted to.
It tastes so good. Aling, Lu Jing and others are already enjoying the food. They don't even have time to talk. They are all sweating profusely.
One fish was not enough to eat, and all the side dishes in it were eaten. Old Yuan couldn't finish the light one here, so he just dragged it into the iron plate and ate it.
Then I also put a lot of soaked vermicelli and green vegetables and tofu in it to cook and eat.
There was no need to even eat, everyone was so satisfied after eating.
After the meal, Lu Jing touched her belly and sighed with satisfaction: "My aunt's cooking really made me swallow my tongue. I have never eaten such delicious fish. The fish can be grilled and eaten like this.
It’s really strange, Master Auntie, shall we still eat this grilled fish during the Chinese New Year?”
Song Qiu chuckled, "We eat something more delicious during the Chinese New Year. Let's save this grilled fish for another time!"
When they heard that there was something more delicious, even Aling's eyes lit up, "What? Have I eaten it?"
Song Qiu had a mysterious look on his face, "I've never tried it before, but I guarantee it's more delicious than this grilled fish. You'll know when the time comes."
It's more delicious than grilled fish.
Several people were looking forward to it, wishing they could celebrate the New Year tomorrow.
Aling was looking forward to it. She turned around and saw Ye Fang also looking excited. Thinking that this man had eaten the most just now and was robbing her, she suddenly became angry and said, "Hey, you really want to stay for the New Year?"
?Why are you so big-faced!"
When Old Yuan heard what she said, he immediately said to her, "Aling, what are you talking about?"
As for the young man, how can you say that he is thick-skinned?
Besides, she looked at Ye Xiaozi very well, but she didn't see the little look in Aling's eyes. However, Aling seemed to be out of touch and didn't think much about it at all.
Thinking like this, Old Yuan also sighed. She was worried about how to tell Aling how to marry her, and now someone came to her door. She looked good everywhere.
It's a pity that Aling doesn't have that intention.
Old Yuan turned around and secretly pulled Song Qiulai to mutter, asking about Ye Fanglai carefully.
