I'm not worried about traveling through a farmer's house. I made my fortune by farming.

Lin Yunchu cleaned it very carefully, squatting beside the basin and scrubbing it carefully. The fishy smell of the small fish was particularly strong, so cleaning it was particularly important.

After washing three basins of water, he saw that the water in the basins was gradually becoming clear. Then he got up and found a bamboo basket, and poured the washed fish into the bamboo basket to drain the water.

After draining the water, he cut the small fish one by one. Pan Xiuxiu, who was watching from the side, stared at Lin Yunchu's quick and skillful hands.

Although I have seen Lin Yunchu cook many times, I still can't help but marvel at it every time.

The knife skills are really great. No matter how much she practices, she can't make it so smooth and pleasing.

After processing, add shredded ginger and green onion segments, sprinkle in salt, pepper and soy sauce, and finally sprinkle in wine and a little vinegar. Then rub the shredded ginger and green onion segments continuously to fully rub out the ginger and green onion juice.

When it looks almost done, knead and mix the small fish in the basin thoroughly, then set aside to marinate.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Yunchu found a large bowl, scooped in a spoonful of flour and a spoonful of starch, and stirred them evenly with chopsticks.

After finishing the pickled fish, Lin Yunchu carefully discarded the green onion slices, ginger shreds and other seasonings and took out the fish.

Then put the small fish into the flour that has just been mixed evenly, coat both sides of the fish with flour, and even carefully spread flour on the inside of the fish belly.

At this time, he turned around and asked his sister-in-law Pan Xiuxiu to light the fire and pour oil into the pot.

After all the small fish were coated with flour, the oil in the pot was heated. Lin Yunchu found a pair of clean chopsticks, put them into the hot oil, and saw bubbles coming out.

Suddenly the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he thought that this was enough.

Then carefully put the fish coated with flour into the pot and fry slowly over medium-high heat.

Lin Yunchu whispered to Pan Xiuxiu that the most important step in frying the fish is the heat. If the heat is too low, the fish will easily absorb oil and become greasy when eaten.

If the heat is too high, the fish will easily be burnt and affect the taste.

When Pan Xiuxiu heard that frying the small fish looked simple, she didn't expect there were so many details to it. If it weren't for Lin Yunchu's explanation, she would have thought that it could be eaten simply by frying it.

Lin Yunchu looked at her surprised expression, his lips curled slightly, and he thought to himself: This looks simpler than cooking, but there are many tricks involved. If any step is not done well, the taste will be completely different when you eat it.

Lin Yunchu held chopsticks in his hand and gently stirred the small fish in the pot from time to time to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

As the two were talking, the small fish fried in the pan gradually turned golden yellow and slowly floated up. Then Lin Yunchu took the chopsticks and gently pushed the small fish, and then turned the fish over.

At this time, the fried fish in the pot had begun to emit a fragrant aroma. As time passed, the fragrance became stronger. Pan Xiuxiu looked at the fish in the pot.

At this moment, she had long forgotten that she was worried that the fishy smell would be bad and it would not taste good. Now the smell was so fragrant that she was dizzy.

"Sister, I just smelled the fragrance next door. Is it ready? It smells so good!"

As the sound of footsteps came from not far away, Lin Yunchu raised his head as soon as the words fell, and saw Lin Changan running in.

Following behind her was Xue Jingyao, who was also looking up at her with a rosy smiling face, and their eyes were all looking towards the small fish that was being fried in the pan.

Lin Yunchu looked at the two of them with amusement as they were swallowing their saliva, looking like little greedy cats.

I'm afraid these two people smelled the fragrance, so they didn't even look next door and ran back in such a hurry.

"It will be ready soon. Wait a moment. You two go get some water first."

Lin Yunchu looked at the two of them and urged them to drink some water.

The two men nodded in unison, but their bodies did not move at all. Their eyes were fixed on the frying pan, and their feet did not move at all.

Lin Yunchu also knew what the two were thinking, so he didn't say anything more. He raised his chopsticks and gently turned the fish in the pot.

Seeing that the small fish in the pot had been fried until golden brown and set, it should be cooked. Then he asked Pan Xiuxiu to take out the firewood and reduce the heat. He turned around and took a clean bowl and wiped the water out of it.

Pick up the fried fishes one by one in the pan, shake them carefully, and put them into the bowl one by one.

Then find a bamboo spoon to scoop out the residue in the oil pan, and heat the oil in the pan over medium-high heat again. After the oil is heated, pour all the fried fish into the pan and fry them again.

Looking at Lin Yunchu's actions, Pan Xiuxiu was puzzled and asked curiously, "Wasn't it fried just now? Why put it in the pot again?"

It's no wonder Pan Xiuxiu was curious. In Qingxi Village, it was already good enough to have enough oil and water to cook every day, and fried snacks like this were even rarer.

This was the first time she had seen fried fish. In the past, few people ate the fish in this river because they had little meat and many bones. Most importantly, they were too fishy and impossible to eat.

Lin Yunchu lowered his head and looked intently at the fish in the pot. It only took about thirty seconds to fry it again, and he had to be quick to prevent the fish from getting burnt.

Without responding in a hurry, he took the bowl and took out the fried fish from the pot again, filling the bowl full.

"Changan, bring it to the main room and eat it with Yaoyao. Be careful with the fish bones."

Then, thinking that Xue Jingran should have returned by now, he added, "Remember to ask Master Xue to try it too."

Lin Changan grinned and nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Xue Jingyao. The two of them walked quickly out of the main room holding their bowls.

After seeing the two of them leave the kitchen, Lin Yunchu turned around and explained to Pan Xiuxiu, "This step is very important. It's to make the fried fish crispier when you eat it. You can try it later."

Then he took a small bowl, filled it with some chili powder he made, and turned to go to the main room.

Looking at the bowl of fried fish that Lin Yunchu had placed aside, Pan Xiuxiu couldn't help but pick up one and started eating it, and her eyes couldn't help but squint.

She just smelled it so delicious, but she didn't expect it to taste even better.

The fried fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and even the fish bones inside are fried crispy.

She was lost in thought while eating, and before she knew it, she had already eaten several small fish. Looking at the few small fish left in the bowl, she thought of many people in the Lin family who were still busy working in the fields.

These had to be kept. Pan Xiuxiu stood up and picked up the wild vegetables she had picked when she took Lin Changan and Xue Jingyao out to play. She went to the yard to draw well water and squatted down to wash them.

If she continued to stay in the kitchen, she might not be able to resist eating all the fried fish in the bowl. She had better leave the house quickly and divert her attention.

Fortunately, Lin Changting was not here at this time, otherwise he would probably laugh at her.
