The child hugged the horse's neck and was intimate for a long time before he noticed that there was another person beside him. However, Chen Xing guessed that it was not easy for him to contact his family's housing. What could this child understand? Maybe he didn't understand English. p>
"Can you understand English? I'll leave this horse to you and I'm leaving?"
After traveling thousands of miles to bring back someone else's foal, although I didn't get much benefit, at least the horse didn't cause me any trouble.
I searched on my mobile phone for farms offering accommodation.
The farm is not far from him, only more than 300 meters away. Looking at the map, it should be built by the Tge Lake. Chen Xing spent this day from the southernmost to the northernmost part of the lake, which is considered to be half of the lake.
.
Although he knew it was sea water, the Norwegians called it a lake, so he could only call it that.
There are too many waters like this in Norway. They can't just name this place after seeing it. Then the naming will be messed up.
Not long after, he came to the lake and saw the farm.
There are many houses in a fenced area, but I didn't see any animals or plants. It is said to be a farm, but it is actually more like a B&B in the scenic spot, but the decoration style is Nordic country style.
I went in and asked if the room was still available.
Chen Xing thought it was like a youth hostel where several people sleep in one room, but in fact the house is where several people live together, but the room is single.
After putting down his things, Chen Xing went to the restaurant to see if there was anything to eat.
This restaurant does not provide specific orders. What you can eat today mainly depends on what dishes are available on the farm, but sandwiches with bacon and ham are always available, and even the small blackboard inside says "unlimited supply". p>
This cafeteria is also rectangular, similar to the ones in primary and secondary schools, but the area is smaller, much smaller, only one-third of the school cafeteria.
The table locations haven’t changed much.
It's seven or eight o'clock now, it's meal time, and some people staying at the farm are here to choose what to eat.
Most people who come here still eat what they bring, which are bread and sandwiches. It’s not necessarily that what’s sold on the farm is better than what they bring, and it’s also economical to bring their own food.
Chen Xing also leaned over to see what was going on today.
Canned herring made by the landlady?
Uh-huh!
At this time, there was a sudden noise at the door. A man in a leather apron walked in happily from outside with a big fish in his arms. Water was everywhere on his body. There were people behind him holding fishing rods.
"Boss! Boss! Cook this fish for me!"
Barracuda?
Seeing someone catching such a big fish, a group of people quickly gathered around the person, and for a while the surrounding light seemed to dim a bit.
How ugly!
Barracuda deserves to be called wolf fish, and the fangs in its mouth bring a huge sense of pressure.
If he is interested in humans, then he can bite and tear off a piece of meat with these rows of teeth. It is not clear whether it is because of this or for some reason, but his eyes are blood red, making him look even more ferocious. p>
"It is indeed a pike, so big? How long did it take to catch it?"
"It took me two hours! Hahaha."
The man in the leather apron was very happy. He laughed heartily from time to time while chatting with everyone. He told the story of how he caught the fish, and the people who came in with him would also add some details.
"As soon as I dropped it into the water, I felt something was wrong. It seemed that the bait in the water had hit something, but I didn't pay attention at the time. I didn't expect that the fish came again after a while. The few times I dropped it before were just tests.
, now it bites the hook directly."
"Yes, yes, Brother McCormick just pulled it, and the fishing rod bent into a crescent moon, and this guy in the water was swimming around everywhere."
"Hahaha, needless to say, boss, can you do it?"
At this time, the boss also came out. He was a fat little old man in his forties or fifties. He looked young but his hair was half white... Fortunately, he was not bald.
He had been working in the kitchen at the back. This farm is almost like a mom-and-pop shop. Whether there are people who want to check in or people who want to eat, they are busy. He also did Chen Xing's check-in just now.
"We can do it, of course we can."
Chen Xing quickly said: "Brother, can you give me a taste?"
This fish weighs at least ten kilograms, and the person who caught it only has two companions, which means that they may not be able to finish this fish today, unless they don't eat anything else, so let's have an all-fish feast. p>
But that doesn’t mean that there will be something to eat tomorrow.
"It's easy to talk about."
He finally caught a big fish today, and he didn’t even mention the money. He said to his boss: “What are you going to do?”
The boss thought for a while and said: "Then let's fry it."
He nodded and was quite satisfied with the fried feeling. When he looked back and saw Chen Xing, he smiled and said, "We really can't finish the food. You can eat with the three of us later. We are all friends who are here for hiking. Tomorrow
We can also walk together."
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Chen Xing."
Someone next to Chen Xing also said: "Then can we eat it? I have never eaten barracuda in my life. I heard it is delicious and silky."
"Yeah, yeah, I haven't eaten it either."
"I heard that this fish is poisonous..."
The boss was about to take the fish to the backstage for processing. When he heard someone saying it was poisonous, he quickly explained: "Pike is poisonous, but it itself is not poisonous. The poisonous parts are its internal organs and skin. Just remove it. Don't you think so?"
You know, but don’t scare the guests by talking nonsense.”
Fishing is a very profitable source of income for their place, and the most important thing is to catch pike. It won't work if the customers are scared away.
Chen Xing was tapped on the shoulder again, and then heard the man say: "My name is Cutler McCormick, this is my brother Max, and this little man's name is Lasoga."
"Who did you call little man?"
"You, haha."
Cutler McCormick laughed and touched Lassoga's head.
In fact, the two of them are about the same age, but Lasoga is only a little over 1.6 meters tall, so he is indeed a small man.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Seeing that there was not much food available in this restaurant, several people wanted to catch a fish immediately to improve the food. This already small restaurant suddenly became a lot empty. Chen Xing and the others found a place nearby.
Sit somewhere closer to the heater.
Cutler McCormick and Max were smoking. Chen Xing didn't want to sit here and smoke second-hand smoke, so he and Lassoga went to the kitchen to see how the boss made this barracuda dish.
When a Chinese chef is cooking, if he is not his apprentice, he is still very afraid of others watching him cook from behind.
But this boss doesn’t consider this at all. What he cooks is simple farm food. Let alone stealing it, these things are widely displayed on the Internet and can be found by just searching, but few people learn them. p>
Chen Xing was scraping fish scales when he entered.
The brush used by the boss is different from the brushes sold on the market. It is a piece of wood with several beer bottle caps arranged side by side, and then he hangs the tail of the wood on the fish, and the fish scales fly all over the place.
It’s clean.
After the boss put down the wood scraper, Lasojia quickly picked it up and looked at it.
No matter how you look at it, it is a very crude tool.
"How fast is this for scraping fish scales?"
"I can't say it's faster, but it's very convenient anyway." The boss took back his hand and moved his waist, and said, "This is because the brush at our house was broken before, and we couldn't find anything to scrape the fish scales temporarily, so my wife did it.
Got such a wood scraper."
"Learned."
Chen Xing said that he would try something like this when he got home, and it was quite fun.
But he quickly shook his head.
It's useless to make it. He rarely cooks at home, or he doesn't cook it at all, so who will use this thing in the future? And he doesn't like to eat fish.
Scrape all the scales clean, then use a knife as small as a fruit knife to disembowel the fish, tear off the skin, put the knife on the fish, and then use the wooden scraper to beat it hard
On the knife.
The knife cut to the bottom instantly.
With another knife, divide the fish into two halves, then three halves, then four halves...
Chinese chefs use a kitchen knife all over the world, and professional Western chefs also have their own set of knives. But among the people, when there are not so many types of knives in the kitchen, how to move a small knife requires you to use your own brain.
.
"What's up, two young men, do you want to learn?"
Chen Xing said: "It's okay anyway, so I just came in and saw how you made this dish."
Now the fish are put into a basin, and the fish fillets are cut very beautifully. The muscles of the fresh fish seem to be still moving after being cut into pieces, so the bones can be seen in the middle part, and the rest of the periphery is full of fish meat.
"It's too simple. Just watch it and ask me if you don't understand. I've been dealing with barracuda for many years."
The boss sprinkled pepper and salt on the fish fillets in the basin, and then showed the two people a large pot he had prepared before. It can be used for stews during normal times, and it can also be filled with oil for frying. p>
"I put onions, thyme, and chives in this oil, and then we just put in the fresh pike meat."
He took the fish steaks and put them down one by one. The oil in the pot boiled immediately, but there was no explosion in the kitchen. The fish steaks started bubbling immediately after being put down, just like when chicken fillets or chicken steaks are put into the frying pan at a fried chicken restaurant.
.
"I smell the fragrance!" Chen Xing said.
Lasojia was also drooling and said: "I can't believe this guy was swimming in the water ten minutes ago."
Chen Xing heard what he said and said with a smile: "You didn't say it was fresh, but everyone who saw it felt that this fish was very fresh and high-quality... I have to use your words to post it."
Moments."
Lasojia was stunned for a moment and scratched his face.
Did you just sigh casually?
At this time, the fish meat has been fried. The fish meat is different from other meats. It is very tender and the frying temperature is high. Therefore, it must be fished out soon after the oil is added, otherwise the water in the fish meat will be squeezed out.<
/p>
"Can you take pictures after I've laid out the dishes? This guest, if possible, would like you to help promote our farm."
After the fish fillet was fished out, three pieces of fish were placed on a white plate, with a yellow Scotch chili pepper in the middle. Chen Xing felt that the presence of these chili peppers was just for decoration on the plate, because they were all golden yellow. p>
And there’s the sauce.
The sauce is probably the most important thing in this dish. There are diced Scottish peppers in it, and the heads of the peppers are just placed in the middle of the dish.
There is also a lot of lemon juice, onions, and Spanish peppers, which makes it a spicy and sour taste.
Most of the Norwegian dishes are like this. Most of their research on the dishes is on the presentation. No matter whether the food is delicious or not, the presentation must be very exquisite. Even the owner of a farmhouse will know some color matching skills for the presentation.
.
Chen Xing took two more pictures and posted them on WeChat Moments together with the pictures of the fish boiling in the oil pan.
‘Who would have thought that this fish was swimming alive and kicking in the sea ten minutes ago? (Picture) (Picture) (Picture)’
After sending the message to Moments, the phone keeps prompting for WeChat messages.
The fans in his Moments and the girls he knew before are usually too embarrassed to chat with him, but as soon as Chen Xing posts to Moments, they are the most active, which makes people suspect that they have made special reminders about Chen Xing's updates.
.
"What kind of fish is this? It's so big!"
"I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you went to France to study. When will you come back?"
"I like it, I want to..."
"Please send some photos of yourself, please send some photos of yourself, please send me some..."
"What a big pike, Chen Xing, where are you? When will you come to southern Yunnan to see me? Our tourist base is almost ready."
This set is from Zhou Pengfa.
Chen Xing wanted to reply with a series of dots, but deleted it immediately.
But he can't let Zhou Peng know that he almost forgot about this matter. After returning this time, he should go to southern Yunnan to see those friends, Zhou Peng, Song Xingwen, Song Shulan, and Xiao Xiuer... How old is she this year?
With?
"I'm studying in Europe. It's not like you don't know. I will bring you a gift when I go back this time."
"I remember you!"
The Chinese spring is coming to the village, and it’s still midnight.
When Zhou Peng saw Chen Xing's reply, he clenched his left hand into a fist.
He avoided it! He didn’t take the initiative to answer!
Zhou Peng's heart felt cold. He used to go back to Sichuan Province frequently, but in the past six months, many projects were almost finished. He basically lived here, but Chen Xing actually...forgot?
After being friends for so many years, he still doesn’t know what the embarrassed Chen Xing looks like?
I must have forgotten!
No wonder I never asked any questions about the travel company when we chatted before.
Zhou Peng tossed and turned in a room provided by a villager, wondering what Chen Xing was doing now?
You must be eating that fish, right?
Damn it!
…………
Norway, Bogstad Hiking Camp Point 2.
Under the night sky, there are stars.
A few young people moved the table out of the restaurant and placed it on the open space of the farm. Listening to the faint sound of waves in the distance, they drank beer, ate the fish that was unlucky to be caught, and cheered together. p>
"Cheers!"
The cold beer collided in the cold night and fell on the hot fish, adding some fragrance to the fish steak.
