Golden Fishing Village

Not long after, Ao Xiaoniu came back, and Song Qiumin also came.

A mother's main concern is nothing more than two things, the child's health and the child's future.

Lu Zhizi came last, and the general ran to the door and roared when he heard her footsteps.

Ao Muyang shouted: "We are one family, stop barking."

Immediately, the general stopped barking, sniffed at Lu Zhizi, and happily wagged his tail and ran back to the kitchen to smell the fragrance of the food.

"Wow, how did you train this dog, it's amazing?" Lu Zhizi was amazed.

After entering the door, she smiled and nodded to everyone, and then said to Ao Muyang: "Sorry, I'm late, I'm so sorry."

Ao Muyang pointed to the fish on the chopping board and said: "No, no, it's not late, you see, the fish hasn't been put into the pot yet."

Lu Zhizi smiled and said: "Anyway, I kept you waiting for a long time. Actually, I just went to school for a walk and cleaned up, so I was a little late. Sorry."

Ao Muyang saw that her high heels were all muddy, and her trouser legs had traces of fresh washing. It was estimated that she had walked a long way.

At this time, he remembered that Lu Zhizi's luggage was lost, so he handed her the phone and said: "You can buy a few changes of clothes on Taobao, and I will help you clear the shopping cart first."

Lu Zhizi smiled and said: "No need, I'll call my friend in Hongyang and ask her to help me."

Ao Muyang nodded and said: "Okay, then you call her?"

Lu Zhizi was about to answer the phone, but then he seemed to think of something and frowned suddenly.

She thought about it and said awkwardly: "I, I thought about it, I'd better lend you some money temporarily, and I'll pay you back when I buy a mobile phone and retrieve my online banking account."

After a pause, she explained again: "I can ask my friend Hongyang for help, but she doesn't know that I came to Longtou Village, and I don't want her to know this, so asking her for help is not a good choice."

Ao Muyang saw the embarrassment in her expression, so he didn't ask more questions and simply said: "No problem, didn't I plan to lend you money?"

Lu Zhizi smiled bitterly: "Thank you."

Ao Muyang couldn't help but look at her twice more. He felt that there were many mysteries about this female teacher.

Ao Fugui didn't hear the conversation between the two. As soon as he came out, he saw Ao Muyang helping Lu Zhizi settle the shopping cart. His eyes were straight: "What do you mean? You cleared the shopping cart for Teacher Lu? Teacher Lu, you can't do this, this is for your partner."

Lu Zhizi smiled and said: "Partner? I don't have a partner. I have a soldier, a car and a horse. Can they do such a thing?"

As they chatted, Ao Muyang continued to cook.

Yellow croaker is of great value, so it must be cooked well, otherwise it would be a waste of such a good ingredient.

Li Yu, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, once said in his book "Random Notes on Leisure": "Fish eaters value freshness first, and fat second. Fat and fresh is the best."

Yellow croaker is the "best". It is fresh and fat, and it is a rare seafood that can retain its freshness even if it dies and is frozen for a period of time.

To taste the deliciousness of yellow croaker, steaming is the cooking method that best reflects its original flavor, but it cannot be steamed in the ordinary way. This method requires considerable skill.

The Qing Dynasty cookbook introduces yellow croaker: "Yellow croaker is generally a thick thing, and it cannot be treated in a light way." It means that although yellow croaker is fat, it is too greasy and cannot be simply treated in a light way.

This is because the fish bladder and fish oil of yellow croaker are very thick. Although it is very nutritious, it can even be said that the reason why wild yellow croaker is sold at a high price is because of these two things, but many people cannot enjoy it.

Cooking wild yellow croaker requires a lot of preparation and a lot of methods. There were countless yellow croakers in the ocean in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but people didn't like it because there was a shortage of materials at that time and there were no ingredients suitable for cooking yellow croakers.

Ao Muyang didn't put the fish in the pot. One reason was that it was a custom for fishermen not to put fish into the water unless there were guests. The other reason was that he was marinating the fish, which took time.

Even after Lu Zhizi arrived, the fish was still not marinated. He first made another dish with the yellow croaker, which was bean curd fish rolls.

Some yellow croakers were broken badly, so he removed the bones and kept the skin for simple marinating, adding rice wine, salt, egg white, chopped green onion, ginger powder, etc.

After Lu Zhizi arrived, he took a few pieces of dried bean curd skin he bought and spread them out on the hard edges, then used it to roll up the fish meat with long coriander, flattened it with a slap, and cut it into inch-long pieces with a knife.

The next step was frying. After frying, it was served with cumin dipping sauce. The color was golden and the aroma was fragrant, with good color, aroma and taste.

Finally, he cooked the yellow croaker. He didn't put it in the pot directly, but took out the marinated fish and hung it on the window to let the sea breeze blow for a while. He brought other dishes to the table and said, "Come on, let's eat first, and the fish will be served last."

Ao Fugui was overjoyed: "Wild yellow croaker?"

Ao Muyang nodded and said, "What else can it be except for letting the Dragon King take a look at it first?"

Lu Zhizi asked curiously: "Wild yellow croaker? This is super expensive, right? And you have to let the Dragon King take a look at it first? What does it mean?"

Ao Muyang said, "Hey, this is the saying that has only come about after the price of yellow croaker has been raised in recent years. In the past, it would be hung before cooking, the purpose was to let the sea breeze blow for a while, so that the fish oil would react and not be so greasy."

After that, he poured wine for Ao Fugui and his son, distributed drinks to others, and said, "Cheers, welcome Teacher Lu to our Longtou Village, I hope our school will be prosperous again!"

Lu Zhizi raised his glass and said, "After this meal, I will do my best."

There are refreshing fish skin and lobster, plus oily fish rolls and two dishes brought by Ao Wenmao and his wife, which is also a rich feast.

Ao Fugui threw his arms and attacked the oily fish rolls. His mother kicked him: "This child has no manners. Teacher Lu hasn't picked up his chopsticks yet."

"Yes, Teacher Lu, try this oily fish roll first. It's made of wild yellow croaker. This is my first time eating it." Song Qiumin said with a smile.

Lu Zhizi took a piece of fish roll and dipped it in the sauce. After she put it in her mouth, she showed a surprised expression. After covering her mouth with her hand, she said: "Well, it's great, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the fragrant bag is delicious. It's delicious!"

"Don't eat too much even if it's delicious. There will be something else later." Ao Muyang smiled.

He also ate a piece of fish roll, which was very successful. The tofu skin was fried crispy, and the fish meat inside was still tender. There was also a piece of coriander with a fresh seasoning, which was full of taste.

Lu Zhizi was very generous at the dinner table. She didn't take the initiative to lead the topic, but she would respond to any topic raised by anyone, and her words were nice and practical, making the atmosphere at the dinner table very harmonious.

After eating for a while, Ao Muyang went to cook the fish.

He thought about it and finally didn't steam it, but made a small braised one.

Girls who speak Wu dialect often have a light taste, and steamed yellow croaker is always a bit greasy.

Frying first and then stewing, the golden skin of the yellow croaker turned into a burnt yellow, and then Ao Muyang poured the sauce soup and let the fish cook in the sauce red soup.

There is a trick to the dish here, called collecting the soup. Ao Muyang kept pouring the soup on the fish, sprinkling it all over the fish body, until the yellow croaker turned from golden to red and yellow.

At this time, the fish soup had been boiled dry, but it was not over yet. He added the soup thickened with starch to it and boiled it again, letting it bubble slightly.

The dish was finished only when it was cooked to the right temperature. Ao Qianmao and the others were dumbfounded: "Why is it so laborious?"

Ao Muyang smiled and said, "Do you think wild yellow croaker is easy to handle?"

His efforts were not in vain. The soup on both sides could not cover up the unique aroma of the fish meat. Or, it was these multiple procedures that released the unique aroma of wild yellow croaker.

The milky white soup with a little red, matched with the golden color of the fish body, looked quite festive.

Ao Muyang served the fish to the table and motioned everyone to taste it.

Lu Zhizi picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth. The smooth, juicy, fragrant and delicate taste instantly conquered her. She didn't know what to say, and directly gave Ao Muyang two thumbs up.

Ao Muyang felt that the restaurant owner was right. At this time, Lu Zhizi had a kind of cute and naive look.

When Lu Zhizi was eating again, he served her another small half bowl of rice, asked her to put the fish meat on the rice, and then poured two spoonfuls of soup on it, saying: "Try it again."

Ao Fugui said sourly: "Yangzi, let me try it too. You two are so affectionate, what are you going to do? Compare the case and eyebrows?"

Lu Zhizi looked at him in surprise and said: "Oh, Brother Fugui, you use the idiom well, you are a literary master with great ambitions."

Ao Fugui was happy: "Hehe, that's right, I am also a cultured person."

"But what is "Compare the case and eyebrows"? Isn't it "Juan Qimei"? "

Ao Fugui's smile stopped abruptly.
