Jiang Ping really felt that living in the countryside was very happy!
The villagers were very hardworking. Every family had grown the common vegetables and fruits. There were also many chickens, ducks, and geese at home. There were not many pigs, but there were many pigs in the farm in the neighboring village.
There were lotus root fields in the village. Now, large areas of lotus flowers were blooming. The scenery was beautiful.
However, in Jiang Ping's eyes, lotus flowers could be fried and eaten, and lotus seeds were even better. Lotus leaves could be dried into lotus leaf tea, and they could also be dried and kept to make lotus leaf steamed meat, beggar's chicken, and so on.
...
It was almost dark when the three of them returned from watching the show.
The masters were still working. Jiang Ping put the fish in the fish tank and began to prepare dinner.
He took out a snakehead and slaughtered it. At night, he would make pickled fish and fry the fresh fish.
The crayfish were all washed clean and made into thirteen spices and garlic.
When the two apprentices came back, they were arranged by Jiang Ping to farm crayfish.
When he heard that they were going to eat this tonight, he was extremely excited.
Jiang Ping first cooked a pot of rice, then took out the pickled vegetables given by his neighbor and soaked them. It was just right to make pickled fish.
Then, he wiped his hands and excitedly took out the universal kitchen knife rewarded by the system.
Finally, he could use it. He excitedly raised his kitchen knife and knocked Hei Yu unconscious.
Then, he cut open the stomach of the black fish and removed its internal organs. Then, he cut off the head and tail and put them aside.
With one hand on the fish's back, he used the other hand to cut the fish into two.
With a kitchen knife in his hand, Jiang Ping felt that it was much easier for him to handle the ingredients than before.
This kitchen knife was really useful. It was so sharp that it cut open the fish instantly.
Chopping bones was probably as easy as cutting tofu. What a good knife!
After a while, the sky turned completely dark. The masters stopped their work one after another and came over to help.
"This little fish is good stuff."
"It's fun to eat, but it's troublesome to handle.”
After Jiang Ping marinated the black fish slices, he began to process the small fish.
The small fish was tender and delicious. It was crispy and delicious when it was fried with flour paste. This way of eating could bring out the unique taste of all kinds of fish.
However, to taste good, the internal organs and fish gall had to be removed.
The aunt gave him a small pot of small fish. It was very troublesome to deal with them one by one.
The villagers often went to the river to fish, and the fish they caught were not big. Everyone had experience in dealing with these small fish, so it was faster to deal with them together.
After the small fish were dealt with, the ten catties of crayfish were still being farmed.
Jiang Ping carried the processed small fish to the kitchen. He first poured some cooking wine and seasonings to marinate it, then started to cook the meat in the pot. After the oil temperature came up, he poured the small fish into the paste that had been prepared in advance and evenly wrapped it in the paste.
Then, he threw them into the pot one by one.
Different fish were fried at different times. Jiang Ping could tell the time of frying all kinds of fish with just a pair of eyes.
He picked up the fried fish with his long chopsticks at the right time.
After a while, the fragrance of fried fish wafted out.
Smelling the fragrance, the workers working outside immediately sped up.
"It smells so good. I'm really lucky today!”
"Crayfish with wine is very beautiful."
"Yes, does Xiaojiang have wine?”
Jiang Ping heard their conversation and replied loudly,"There's wine. It's all from the main family."
When they left, they would give them cigarettes, alcohol, and other things in addition to their wages.
"I don't drink or smoke. You guys can divide those things.”
Jiang Ping didn't like to drink alcohol. He liked to drink beverages, especially iced coke in the summer. It was so cool that it went through his heart in one gulp. It was so comfortable.
In a short while, a large pot of small fish was fried. It looked like a small fish templar.
The paste was neither thick nor thin, and the species of the fish could be seen through the paste. The small fish had been marinated and had its own taste. The paste had also been seasoned, so it could be eaten directly after it was out of the pot. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This way of eating brought out the freshness of the fish to the extreme.
"Fang Tong, help me send some fried fish to the Jiang family.”
The fried small fish had to be eaten immediately. It was fragrant, crispy, fresh, and juicy. After a long time, the taste would not be so good. He had to eat it quickly.
The small fish was a gift from Jiang Xue's mother. She just happened to be able to send some over to give them a taste.
"Alright."
Fang Tong put down the washed crayfish and held a big bowl of fried fish. He picked up a fried fish and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Oh, it's so hot!"
The paste cracked open with a bite. He didn't expect the fish meat inside to be so hot. The freshness of the fish and the fragrance of frying instantly exploded. It was so delicious that he couldn't stop.
"Don't eat it secretly!"
When Jiang Ping heard the sound, he knew that this person was secretly eating.
“OK！”
Fang Tong carried the little fish and rode on the electric donkey, heading towards the Jiang School.
When they arrived at Jiang Xue's house, Jiang Xue's parents were still busy at the fish pond. Only Jiang Xue was at home, cooking dinner.
"Brother Jiang Xue, I brought you the small fish that Jiang Ping made. Let me tell you, it's just fried. Don't mention how fragrant it is!!!”
Jiang Xue hadn't tasted Jiang Ping's cooking yet. At that time, Jiang Dejun's family was doing something. His parents went, but he didn't.
He had thought that his parents would bring some food back for him to eat.
Then, he waited until two o'clock before his parents came back. They had not brought any food back yet. They said that the food at the banquet was too delicious and there was not a single bit left.
It was fine if he didn't bring any food back. Seeing that he didn't eat, he even said regretfully how good Jiang Ping's culinary skills were and how delicious the dishes were. This made Jiang Xue extremely curious about Jiang Ping's culinary skills. Unfortunately, he didn't go to the banquet and didn't eat.
He did not expect the surprise to come so suddenly.
