Arriving at Lin Xinhai’s house, Lin Xinhai was processing grouper.
There are many people today, including Chen Yuan’s parents, Zhou Sheng’s parents, Lin Xinmin’s family, and Luo Laosi’s family.
Some people were playing cards in the yard, and some were sitting around eating melon seeds and chatting.
Yan Xiaoxi went over and found Chen Xin.
Chen Xin was playing mahjong here and saw Yan Xiaoxi coming over: "Can you play mahjong?"
"I only know Sichuan Mahjong, but not Guangdong Mahjong."
"Come and play, I'll tell you."
"No, you play while I watch." Yan Xiaoxi sat next to Chen Xin.
Lin Xiaoyue brought melon seeds to Yan Xiaoxi: "Eat the melon seeds. There is a drink next to it. Take it yourself."
"good."
Zhou Sheng was unusually diligent today and was helping to deal with the grouper.
Two large groupers, one weighing more than 40 kilograms and the other more than ten kilograms.
There is a stove in the yard that has not been used for a long time. Lin Xinmin is cleaning the rust from the large iron pot.
Chen Yuan found a bucket, took a bucket of water, and helped clean the stove.
The more people taking action, the faster it will go.
"How to marinate fish heads?" Zhou Sheng asked.
"Onions, ginger, onions, white wine." Chen Yuandao.
"Come here and pickle the fish heads. You're not very good at it."
Chen Yuan took ginger and chives. Crush the ginger, shred the chives, and cut the onion into small pieces... Put them into a large basin, pour in white wine, and put the fish heads in it and spread them evenly.
Two big fish heads, now you can eat them happily.
The fish head of the large grouper is more comfortable to use as the fish head than the fish head of the giant silver carp.
Zhou Sheng went over to cut the sour peppers.
Lin Xinhai has sour chili peppers at home, as well as fresh spicy millet and red peppers he bought.
After marinating the fish head, Chen Yuan washed his hands and came over to light the stove. First, boil a pot of hot water...
"There's not a lot of fish maw, so just cook the soup with the fish skin." Lin Xinhai said.
"OK."
There are so many people today, it’s not enough to make a side dish alone.
Yan Xiaoxi brought a stool and sat next to Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan's mother also brought a stool and put some fruits on it.
Everyone was busy until night.
In the evening, there are three hard dishes, fish head with chopped pepper, boiled fish fillets, and white radish and fish skin soup.
The skin of large grouper is very thick and is used to make soup, which is full of gelatin.
When they started eating, Chen Yuan took Yan Xiaoxi's bowl and gave her a large piece of fish head meat: "This fish head tastes very good."
Yan Xiaoxi smiled and nodded: "I'll do it myself."
"Don't be polite when you sit here." Lin Xinhai greeted him and said with a smile: "I am Chen Yuan and Zhou Sheng's master. They are half of me. I accepted them as my masters before.
Godson, the two of them also agreed, but they didn’t know that they wouldn’t recognize me when I came back.”
There was a burst of laughter at the dinner table.
Zhou Sheng stood up with the wine in hand: "How can I deny it? It's just a smooth way to call me master. It's hard to change."
Chen Yuan also smiled and responded: "That's right."
Lin Xinhai laughed: "Come on, let's have a drink."
"cheers."
Yan Xiaoxi also followed suit, holding up the Coke and taking a sip.
Chen Yuan drank a glass of beer and lifted a large piece of fish head for himself. The fish head was full of collagen, and the meat of the fish head was also very tender.
"The fish head with chopped pepper tastes very good." Yan Xiaoxi looked at Chen Yuan.
"Pinch it yourself."
Yan Xiaoxi shrank her neck in embarrassment, stood up and added a large portion.
"Senior Brother Chen Yuan and the others can often get big groupers, groupers weighing several hundred kilograms. They have got several of them. If you like it, let Senior Brother Chen Yuan keep the fish heads in the future." Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile: "I
I also like the grouper head with chopped pepper, and I can try it at your place in the future.”
"Great. Next time I have a chance to buy a fish head that weighs several dozen kilograms or hundreds of kilograms." Chen Yuan said.
"It's not good if the fish head is too big." Zhou said, "Master, the iron pot here can't even fit in."
"I'll buy a bigger steamer another day." Lin Xinhai was at the next table and said with a smile.
After eating a piece of fish head, Chen Yuan brought two more bowls and filled them with white radish and fish skin soup for Yan Xiaoxi and himself.
The taste of this soup is also very good, with the sweetness of radish and the umami taste of fish, and the fish skin is full of gum.
Chen Xin poked Zhou Sheng with her finger: "Look at how good my brother is to his sister-in-law, why don't you imitate him quickly?"
"Hehehe..." Zhou Sheng stood up with a smile and went to get a bowl and filled Chen Xin with soup.
Wang Peng didn't need to say anything, he got up by himself.
After eating and sitting with Master for a while, Chen Yuan and the others went back.
Yan Xiaoxi drives. She has a driver's license, but after getting her driver's license, she rarely touches the car.
Yan Xiaoxi lit the fire and was a little nervous: "Just watch it for me."
"Handbrake."
"Okay..." Yan Xiaoxi turned on the handbrake, started it slowly, and reversed the car.
After leaving the town and coming to the seaside road, there were very few cars on this stretch of road. Yan Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's very easy to drive."
Chen Yuan smiled and said "hmm".
When she got home, Yan Xiaoxi looked at the thawed fish.
The fish above has thawed, or at least separated.
Chen Yuan went over to open the dryer fishing rod, and Yan Xiaoxi came over with the cold fish: "Clean the internal organs. If you eat too much of these internal organs, it is not good."
"OK."
Since they were idle anyway, Chen Yuan started to clean the internal organs of the small fish. It didn’t take much time to do this. It was for the cats to eat anyway, so there was no need to make it particularly clean.
It took two people only ten minutes to prepare a basin and send it to the dryer.
Chen Yuan adjusted the power of the dryer to the maximum, and estimated that it would take an hour or two.
Before going into the kitchen, rinse the sardines in the box with cold water. Rinsing with cold water can speed up the thawing, otherwise these dried fish frozen at ultra-low temperature will probably defrost naturally until midnight.
Yan Xiaoxi selected some small fish, washed them and deep-fried them to make fried small fish.
They were busy until after eleven o'clock, when they took a shower and got into bed.
During the day, Yan Xiaoxi had not fully recovered. Chen Yuan hugged her and smelled the sweet smell of her body, and felt at ease...
The floating life has a place to belong.
Yan Xiaoxi was very dishonest in Chen Yuan's arms. Having tasted the forbidden fruit, Yan Xiaoxi became bolder.
"Sleep well and don't move around." Chen Yuan kissed Yan Xiaoxi's forehead.
Yan Xiaoxi pouted, kissed Chen Yuan back, and huddled in Chen Yuan's arms.
When I woke up, the sun was shining on my butt.
Chen Yuan looked at Yan Xiaoxi who was still sleeping in his arms and felt the softness in his hands...
After a while, Yan Xiaoxi woke up and grabbed Chen Yuan's dishonest hand: "What time is it?"
"It's past eight o'clock."
"Are you going to get up?"
"It's still early."
"Then sleep a little longer."
After waking up, where is the drowsiness?
The two lingered in bed until after eleven o'clock, then they got up.
Take a bath and continue processing sardines.
It was estimated that there were 1,670 kilograms of sardines. It was after three o'clock in the afternoon that they were all dried into dried fish. They were then taken out and vacuum sealed. It was five o'clock in the afternoon when they were finished.
