The fake daughter is so crazy! After going to the countryside, she is spoiled by a rough man every d

Shi Chunlan smiled and waved her hand, asking Zhou Qian to discuss it with He Jing.

Coming out of the main room, He Jing asked, "How do you want to eat?"

A carp weighing six or seven pounds is a bit too big, and it is difficult to cook it by simply braising or steaming it.

After much thought, stewing is more convenient.

However, He Jing still had to ask Zhou Qian'an what he wanted to eat.

Zhou Qian thought for a moment and said, "We just cook it normally at home."

"You feel?"

"Stew." He Jing answered simply.

Zhou Qi'an nodded, "Then stew it."

"No other ideas?" He Jing turned her head to look.

Zhou Qian shook his head, "I'm not good at cooking, why are you giving me any advice?"

He Jing didn't answer, but looked at him twice more.

Zhou Qian saw it and straightened his back.

in the kitchen.

Liao Hongmei and Xu Zhaodi were washing cowpeas. When they saw the two men come in and the two big carps weighing six or seven kilograms, they couldn't stop smiling.

At this moment, Liao Hongmei and Xu Zhaodi both took the initiative to leave the kitchen.

"Jingjing, we're washing beans outside, you guys go get busy."

Liao Hongmei and Xu Zhaodi carried the basin of water out and it would definitely not be a problem.

When Zhou Qian saw it, he couldn't help but smile.

He Jing looked over when she heard the voice, but said nothing.

"Carp is the most delicious when it weighs between one and a half and three catties." He Jing turned around to look at the big carp in the basin. A carp weighing six or seven catties was really big.

The fish is kept in a large basin and its tail cannot fully expand.

Zhou Qian didn’t understand. He thought that the bigger the fish he caught, the more meat there would be and the more he could eat.

"The fish meat within this range is the most tender." Carp weighing six or seven pounds looks old and has poor meat quality.

Braised, sweet and sour, and steamed all affect the taste.

Fish stew is slightly better.

After saying so much, He Jing started to catch the fish with her bare hands. However, the fish was big and it splashed water all over her face.

The water used to raise fish has a fishy smell.

He Jing frowned immediately.

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Zhou Qian saw it and immediately pulled her up. He squatted down and grabbed one with one hand. "Kill it now?"

"Yeah." He Jing wiped the fishy water off her face and frowned slightly.

"You tell me, I'll do it." Zhou Qian'an was still capable of killing fish.

He Jing squatted beside him and gave instructions, "Let the blood flow first."

"It can reduce the fishy smell." He Jing pointed to the fish gills and said, "After scraping off the scales, make a cut here."

It was the first time that Zhou Qi'an knew that one had to bleed the fish before killing it. After listening to her, he started to do it.

After the carp was knocked unconscious, he held it with one hand and used a kitchen knife to scrape off the scales and then cut the gills with the other.

After a while, the fish blood began to fall.

Suddenly, the fishy smell spread.

He Jing wrinkled her nose, waited until the fish's blood had drained out, and then continued to instruct, "Scrape the fish scales, and be careful when opening the fish's belly, so as not to scratch the fish's gallbladder."

Fish gallbladder tastes fishy and bitter.

If it is cut, the whole fish will be ruined.

"Also clean the black membrane on the fish's belly."

"I don't want the heart anymore."

Zhou Qian'an listened and did it at the same time and did not make any mistakes.

The two people outside the kitchen door had been listening and taking notes silently.

"No wonder the dish I made before had such a strong fishy smell. It turns out I didn't drain the blood." Xu Zhaodi said as she looked inside again.

"My sister-in-law knows a lot."

"Don't mention my sister-in-law. I usually see my mother cook fish without this step." Liao Hongmei said while washing cowpeas, "The black film on the internal organs must be cleaned. I know this."

"Which one is the fish heart?" Xu Zhaodi couldn't see clearly, she only knew that Zhou Qian'an dug something out and threw it out.

All these preparations were done, and Zhou Qi'an was sweating. He raised his hand to wipe it off and asked, "What's next?"

"Use a knife to scrape off the mucus on the fish." He Jing was focused on looking at the fish and ignored his gaze.

Zhou Qian did as he was told.

"Use this to wipe the fish body clean." He Jing handed over a steaming cloth. Although it was not pure white, it was clean.

Zhou Qian'an paused after taking the hand. If He Jing hadn't explained clearly, he would have thought it was used to wipe his sweat.

"Row."

He Jing watched him roughly clean the fish body and added, "Take out the teeth."

"And then?" Zhou Qian'an picked out his teeth, his hands were stained with some fish blood, and they were sticky.

He Jing stretched out her hand to measure the length of the fish and said, "Just cut it into pieces."

"So simple?" Zhou Qian'an was surprised. He thought there were many more steps.

He Jing rolled her eyes and said, "Leave the rest to me."

"The other fish should be treated the same way."

"Okay." Zhou Qian agreed readily.

While waiting for Zhou Qian'an to kill the fish, He Jing took out the seasonings needed for stewing the fish one by one.

Zhou Qianan killed the fish and handed it over. He saw a bowl of seasoning and asked casually, "What's in it?"

"Star anise, dried chili peppers, peppercorns, and salt." Ginger, garlic, and onion slices are indispensable.

Zhou Qianan said, "Everything is ready, what should we do next?"

"Marinate it with salt and cooking wine for a while." He Jing said as she did it, "About ten minutes."

Zhou Qian was watching from the side.

After a while, Liao Hongmei and Xu Zhaodi, who had washed the cowpeas, came in.

The three of them stood in a row and watched attentively, feeling like an apprentice watching a master cook.

He Jing thought of her wish in her previous life, to open a restaurant and take in apprentices. The corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up, and she became much more careful and gentle in what she said and did.

After marinating, the fish needs to be fried so that it does not fall apart when stewed.

Because Zhou Qian'an was there, He Jing didn't feel too restrained when she was doing it.

When Liao Hongmei and Xu Zhaodi saw it, they both gasped in shock.

Zhou Qian knew that there wasn’t so much oil used in cooking in the past.

From this we can see that He Jing really invested a lot.

Zhou Qian'an was a little happy.

The big carp was chopped into two pieces and then chopped into smaller pieces, but they were all connected and not separated.

It is a little troublesome to fry, but for He Jing, it is not difficult at all.

Both sides of the carp are fried until golden brown, the surface meat is cooked, and the fragrance naturally comes out.

The children who came home from school smelled a delicious aroma before they even entered the house, and they immediately knew that He Jing was cooking.

The four children ran straight to the kitchen without putting down their schoolbags, and then stopped at the door.

There were four adults in the room, and three of them were watching.

Jinbao, Yinbao, Jinbao, Miaomiao: "..."

Liao Hongmei saw it and said, "Go do your homework when you get back."

"After finishing my homework, I will go cut grass for the pigs." Xu Zhaodi continued.

Anyway, you are not allowed to be idle.

Jinbao, Yinbao, Jinbao, Miaomiao: "..."

The two carps are fried in two batches.

Next, add ginger, garlic, onion, peppercorns, star anise, dried chilies and other seasonings into the hot pan and stir-fry until fragrant.

"It would taste better if we could put some fermented black beans in here." But since there wasn't any at home, He Jing had to settle for the next best thing and put some fermented black beans in.

After putting the fish in, add light soy sauce and dark soy sauce to adjust the color, and then add a little sugar and vinegar to season.

Finally, add appropriate amount of water, simmer over low heat, and then simmer over high heat until the sauce thickens.

The fish stew is ready.

He Jing clapped her hands, turned her head and looked over, her lips slightly raised, "Sister-in-law, is there anything you don't understand?"

Zhou Qian'an was not mentioned here. He looked at it and recalled the whole process. He was almost involved in it, so there was nothing he didn't understand.

So, he asked, "How do you make sour beans?"
