Chapter 140: Does the peck hurt?
Ye family.
Bai Wei heard the noise outside.
I was still wondering why Ye Xiaoyun came back again.
Later, Jiang Bo's voice was heard again.
Then came the sound of a car stopping and two young men talking in low voices.
The door opened.
"Auntie, we meet again."
Jiang Bo put the bag of fish scales on the ground.
Although Bai Wei couldn't see clearly, she heard the muffled sound when the bag hit the ground.
It sounds heavy.
"Xiao Jiang, come in and sit down."
"You kid, you just came, why did you bring so many things?"
Jiang Bo took out the things in the bag one by one.
"I didn't bring anything."
"These are all food and drinks. I'll cook them for lunch, and you can keep the leftovers for later."
As he spoke, Ye Xiaoyun also came in.
She put the brown paper bag in her hand on the table and held the carp in her other hand.
She found an iron basin and put the fish in it.
The fish's tail flapped, causing the iron basin to hit the table with a crisp sound.
Bai Wei was startled.
"what is this?"
Ye Xiaoyun said: "Fish, it looks like grass carp to me."
Jiang Bo corrected with a smile: "It's a carp."
In fact, there are bigger fish in his space, especially silver carp, some weighing more than ten kilograms.
But when it comes to carp, the bigger the better.
If it is too big, the meat will be tough.
If it is too small, the meat will not be tender enough and will have too many bones.
It took him a while to find one that was of moderate size.
Bai Wei was surprised: "There are not many fish on the market now."
Jiang Bo replied:
"I'll cook this fish at noon so you can have a taste of my cooking skills."
As he spoke, he took out the things in the bag one by one.
Even Ye Xiaoyun was surprised.
In addition to vegetarian dishes such as cucumbers, potatoes, radishes, and beans.
There was also a basket of eggs and some fatty pork.
Then there is some rice and flour.
As if, something that can be thought of.
Jiang Bo brought everything with him.
Finally, he took out the processed bear paw wrapped in oil paper from the fish scale bag.
"Xiao Yun, there are two cans of oil in the basket, please help me get them in."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoyun turned around and walked out the door.
He came back quickly and placed the two jars on the table.
Jiang Bo pointed to the larger jar and said, "This is peanut oil, and the other jar contains the lard I made. You can add a little when you stir-fry vegetables, it tastes good."
Bai Wei was amazed.
Ye Xiaoyun was already deeply moved.
In name, they were ingredients prepared for this blind date party.
In fact, Jiang Bo was worried about the lack of supplies on his side, so he prepared food for most of half a month.
"These things must cost a lot of money, right?"
Ye Xiaoyun asked.
"There are only three of us. We can't eat so much."
"Don't buy like this in the future."
Jiang Bo thought that his future daughter-in-law was quite good at managing life.
"It's okay. You can eat slowly if you can't finish it."
"The weather is not too hot now, so we should eat all the meats early, and rice, flour, grain and oil should be kept for a long time."
"Oh, right."
"I brought a box of peach crisps and some peanut candy that I made."
"You and Auntie can eat first, I'll prepare lunch."
It's still early now.
However, the dishes Jiang Bo is going to cook today are all hard dishes.
The preparation of ingredients takes a long time.
So, he sat for a while and then began to prepare.
"Xiao Yun, come here."
Bai Wei called Ye Xiaoyun softly and said:
"Don't just stand there like an idiot. Go and give Jiang Bo a hand."
Ye Xiaoyun responded and went to Jiang Bo.
but.
Although she wanted to help, she looked at the dazzling array of ingredients.
She really didn't know how to start.
Jiang Bo filled the large kettle with water, used a fire hook to lift the cover of the stove, and was about to boil the water.
Ye Xiaoyun said:
"Are you boiling water for making soup? Let me help."
Jiang Bo replied, "No, kill the chicken. Can you do that?"
Kill a chicken?
Ye Xiaoyun has never tried it.
But she could try.
She walked out of the door and looked at the hen hanging upside down with its claws tied to Jiang Bo's handlebars. She mustered up the courage to reach out and grab it.
The chickens in Jiang Bo's space are fat and strong.
Although it is a hen, it is also very ferocious.
"Ouch."
Before I could take the chicken down, it pecked my hand.
"what happened?"
Jiang Bo, who heard the noise, hurried out to see what was going on.
There was a red spot on the back of Ye Xiaoyun's snow-white hand.
Jiang Bo blew on her hand and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Although the two people had confirmed their relationship, people of that era were generally conservative.
This was the first time he shook hands with Ye Xiaoyun.
Her hands are thin and white, and they feel soft when held...
"No...it doesn't hurt anymore."
Ye Xiaoyun shyly pulled her hand back slowly.
Jiang Bo said:
"Forget it, I'll do it."
"Pour me a basin of hot water."
"it is good!"
Jiang Bo took out a kitchen knife and a large iron basin from the house.
He picked up the chicken and stepped on its wings. The hen immediately flapped its wings in panic.
He plucked the hair at the chicken's throat, found the right spot, and quickly cut a cut near the chicken's head with the knife.
Jiang Bo immediately picked up the chicken and let the blood flow into a small bowl.
When the blood had drained away, the chicken stopped twitching.
At this time, Ye Xiaoyun also came out with a basin of hot water.
Jiang Bo threw the chicken in and said:
"Just scald it with hot water and you can pluck the hair."
"The next step is to kill the fish and pluck its hair. If you want to try killing fish..."
I can teach you.
"I'll pluck the hair!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Xiaoyun rushed to answer.
Jiang Bo couldn't help laughing.
He took the chicken out of the hot water, put it in the big basin, and said:
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'll go kill the fish."
This carp has been out of water for some time.
But not dead yet.
Jiang Bo picked up a kitchen knife and hit the fish head hard several times with the back of the knife.
Next comes the fish scaling.
This is also a delicate job. If the fish scales are not cleaned, the taste will be greatly affected.
After scaling the fish, he began to remove the gills and forehead scales.
After doing all this, he made a small cut near the gills, revealing the white tendons of the carp.
Jiang Bo carefully pulled out the white line.
Then he picked out the teeth from the fish head.
These can remove the fishy smell to a great extent.
As a last step, he used a knife to cut open the fish's belly and prepared to remove the internal organs.
Once opened, the yellow fish roe inside was revealed.
What a pleasant surprise.
If you have fish roe, just make “one fish, four ways of cooking”.
He grabbed a handful of salt and rubbed it all over the carp to remove the slime.
Then wash it several times with clean water and scrape off the black film in the belly.
Next, you can fillet the fish.
Start slicing from the tail, chop off the fish head, make a cut at the gills, and another cut at the fins. Remove the fish fillet, and a complete piece of fish meat will be sliced out.
