The fifth update is delivered, 800 monthly passes plus more! Let's get a subscription!

One net went down, four or five hundred catties of fish. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Carp, crucian carp, fathead fish, blackfish, catfish, ....., all kinds of fish, different sizes, harvest huge. A large group of government soldiers helped to take the fish from the net, and there was no need for wooden barrels and bags, and the wicker that was folded by the river, one wicker could be skewered with a dozen fish.

"Wow, this fathead fish is at least ten pounds!"

"My carp has to weigh twenty pounds."

A couple of guys are holding a few big fish and are competing.

"What are you guys, look at me, golden carp!"

Golden carp is indeed rare and rare, not to mention that this is still a golden carp of at least thirty catties, which is simply the king of fish in this net.

"It's almost fine."

"Well, maybe one day I'll jump over the dragon gate and turn into a dragon."

"I don't dare to eat such fish, so let's let it go."

Zhang Chao listened to it very painfully, and finally caught a big fish, you still have to release it, this is really feudal superstition kills people. Why don't you think about your belly first, a big fish of thirty catties is enough for you to eat for many days.

"This fish should be dedicated to the King of Qin."

Zhang Chao walked over and looked at the big golden carp that was still writhing.

As soon as everyone heard this, it was indeed reasonable, so let's dedicate it to King Qin.

On the riverside, Zhang Chao has already asked people to set up a few pots. Everyone works so hard, of course they have to eat some to replenish their strength, Zhang Chao is not satisfied with catching a net and leaving, since there is a fish, then catch him a few more nets.

If the medical battalion can't finish eating, it can still be eaten by friendly brothers, and if the friendly army can't finish eating, it can also be dried and made into dried fish.

The earthen stove was dug up, the cauldron was erected, and someone picked up firewood.

A group of government soldiers over there were busy killing fish.

Add water to the pot and wait for it to boil.

The fish scraped off the scales, removed the gill lobes, cut open the belly, removed the fish intestines, etc., and let them all stay.

Eating cod liver and fish gallbladder is good for increasing eyesight, especially night blindness.

In fact, fish scales can also be eaten, and it is actually delicious to make fish jelly after boiling and stewing, but since there are so many fish, I don't bother to care about those fish scales.

But fish bubbles are Zhang Chao's favorite, whether they are dry or boiled, fish bubbles are a delicacy.

There are also some fish that have found caviar, which is also a good thing, and the roe is delicious to make.

"Collect all the fish roe, fish liver, fish gall and fish oil, and pack them separately."

Zhang Chao called the soldiers and civilians who were watching the excitement, "If you're fine, go pick some wild vegetables." If you pick wild vegetables, you will have fish to eat and fish soup to drink. ”

In winter, there are many kinds of wild vegetables in the fields, and fresh wild vegetables are cooked together with fish, which can play an excellent role in increasing freshness.

The fish was stewed in a big pot, Zhang Chao didn't put any seasoning, he cut some ginger slices, not even garlic and onions, and naturally no other spices. Zhang Chao didn't have many spices of his own, so he was reluctant to eat them all in one meal.

But for these soldiers and people who are far away from home, who stay on the battlefield in other places in the winter, and even eat dried vegetables and vinegar cloth for a long time, it is terrible to have a fresh fish stew to eat.

Bring the water to a boil and kill the fish directly.

These guys are reluctant to even wash it, saying that it will not taste good if the blood is washed out. The fish was not marinated in seasonings first, let alone fried first, but simply thrown into the pot and then covered with a lid.

Luckily, these guys at least know how to chop fish into pieces.

The oil was not put in, Zhang Chao didn't like this kind of boiled fish, what kind of smell did it have, it was all fishy. However, for those men who are excited to gather around the pot to add firewood, even the freshly killed fish is fragrant.

Looking at the large pieces of fish in the pot, the white and red fish meat, that tempting.

"Add some more dried vegetables." Zhang Chao couldn't stand it, what could this fish be delicious. Add some dried vegetables, and you can still get a little fishy.

"Yes, add some dried vegetables, and then add some wild vegetables later."

Then, these men just throw some dried beans into it, he throws some dried radishes into it, and then sprinkles some beans into it, and some people directly sprinkle some rice and wheat into it, all kinds of dried vegetables.

Someone even pulled out a piece of vinegar cloth, then cut off a piece and threw it into the pot.

Zhang Chao was completely uninterested in the fish in the pot.

Let's make our own.

Someone was called to come and dig a pit again, and then set up a pot.

Zhang Chao picked a very fat black fish, the black fish has few bones and tender meat, and it has always been Zhang Chao's favorite. The black fish that is still alive is slaughtered, the scales are eviscerated, and the fish is chopped into pieces.

Marinate for a while with fine salt and ginger, put oil in the wok, burn until it is hot, fry the flying fish pieces over medium heat, fry until the water is dry, when the fish is slightly yellow on both sides, pour some wine, add boiling water and boil for about five minutes, then the fish is half-cooked, and you can take it out for later use.

Zhang Chao took another pot rack and put it on the fire, poured the fish soup from boiling into it, boiled it, put in the washed rice, and then added a little fine salt to cook.

When the rice is ready to dry and the rice broth is about to dry, put the half-cooked fish pieces on top of the rice, cover and simmer over low heat for about a quarter of an hour.

If there is sesame oil and green onions, it will be even more delicious when the rice is cooked.

A fish stew was completed, and the second net had been put under the ice on the river.

Zhang Chao looked at the time, then brought another pot of fish bubbles, and after a little cleaning, he began to fire.

Fish stewed rice, boiled fish bubbles, fried fish liver, roasted fish roe, crucian carp and wild vegetable soup.

"It's time to eat!"

Zhang Chao took out a few dishes and turned his head to shout at the guys who had just harvested the second net fish on the ice.

The fish from the cauldron cooked by the soldiers themselves were also cooked.

The boiled fish section of the cauldron, the whole crucian carp and wild vegetable soup in the cauldron, and the small miscellaneous fish porridge in the cauldron are all directly filled in a large iron pot without bowls or basins. You don't have to pick it up, just take a spoon and scoop it when you want to eat.

On the riverside, there were not only Zhang Chao's medical battalion, but also the people in the city of Lishui, as well as the government soldiers who watched the excitement, and even the government soldiers on duty at the city gate couldn't help but take turns to come over to eat fish and rice.

"Delicious!"

"It's delicious!"

The scene simply got out of hand.

Fishing just now, at most, it was to watch the excitement and see the freshness, and this time, when it is finally time to eat, these people are simply like foodies reincarnated and reincarnated as hungry ghosts.

One by one, they took out their own Tie Meng, which was an iron lunch box that could hold a few catties, and these guys were not afraid to hold on.

Queue up and squeeze in front of each pot.

"Bring me half a box of fish fillets."

"A bowl of soup!"

.....

A pot full of fish and fish soup and fish porridge were mixed into a big mess, but they were very happy. Meimei sang the tune and walked to the side, squatted in a row with her companions, and folded two wicker sticks casually to use them as chopsticks.

"Oh, this fish is so beautiful!"

Some of the soldiers have not even eaten fish a few times in their lives because their homes are not close to the river. Sandwiched between a large chunk of fish, the food tastes like a hungry dog pounces.

Zhang Chao chose a leeward place, and beckoned Cheng Chumo, who had been fishing for a long time, to eat with a few guys.

"Uncle Shan, Fifth Uncle, this is fish gall, specially left for you, swallow it."

"Fish gall is a bitter drop, right?" Keshan's embarrassing road.

"Of course the fish gall bladder is broken, but if you don't break it, it won't be bitter if you swallow it directly, the fish gall bladder is good to eat, and you can see things at night, don't you often say that you can't see things at night."

"Oh, this fish gall bladder still has this effect?"

"Of course, not only eating fish gallbladder has this effect, but when you wait for the spring of next year, catch the larvae of the toad and eat it, and you can also cure this problem."

"That thing can be eaten? It's disgusting, isn't it? Ke Shan frowned.

Zhang Chao smiled, "What's disgusting about this, that's also meat." ”

Night blindness, also known as blindfolding, is a condition that many Tang people have, and they often can't see clearly at night. Generally, this is caused by a lack of vitamin A, and in general, eating more foods rich in vitamin A can prevent it. For example, eggs, animal liver, etc.

In the final analysis, many people suffer from night blindness and lack of food and non-staple food. To cure this disease is also simple, just eat and supplement.

Pork liver soup, crucian carp soup, spinach pork liver soup, and even beef liver, rabbit liver, sheep liver and other animal livers, as long as you eat more, you can improve this problem.

However, the people are blindfolded because of incomplete nutrition, food is single and lack of non-staple food, of course, they do not have the conditions to eat liver, even crucian carp soup has no chance to eat, as for spinach, there is now, but only the royal and noble people eat it, this is a rather expensive vegetable.

There is no condition to eat liver and no condition to eat crucian carp and spinach, and there is a simple recipe, which is to catch frogs and eat small tadpoles, and eat them raw.

It is said that eating this food is also effective, and of course eating fish gallbladder is also effective.

Night blindness still has a great impact on people, ordinary people are fine, after all, the sunrise and sunset rest, but for government soldiers such as Keshan, it is inevitable that they may encounter the time to act at night. When the ancients were fighting, they often engaged in night raids and even night marches, and if you can't see it at night, you can't recognize the road clearly, and others will kill you, what should you do.

Hearing Zhang Chao's words so reasonable, Ke Shan and the others couldn't help but bring a bowl of fish gall bladder over.

"Don't eat too much at a time, three or five a day is enough. You can take these fish gall bladders back, anyway, the weather can't be bad now, just bury them in the snow and eat them as snacks every day. Zhang Chao said with a smile.

He himself did not have night blindness, and his diet was very healthy and nutritious before, and he did not treat himself badly after coming to the Tang Dynasty.

Cheng Chumo and his noble children don't have this problem, they often have meat, milk, fresh poultry, eggs and vegetables to eat, and naturally they will not have night blindness.

Ke Wu picked up a fish gall, looked at it for a while, threw it into his mouth, and swallowed it with his eyes closed. Fortunately, the fish gall bladder is not too big, except that it is a little fishy.

swallowed five in a row, Ke Wu looked at the bowl and put it aside with a bitter face.

"In fact, eating more crucian carp soup also has the effect of blindfolding!" Zhang Chao said with a smile.

Ke Wu looked at Zhang Chao with a resentful expression, then took a big bowl and handed it over, "Bring me a big bowl of crucian carp soup!" ”

Brothers, we are still the ninth in the history of the monthly pass, and the former one is the son-in-law of the angry Xiangjiao God, and he is just a dozen votes away from exploding the chrysanthemum of the great god! (To be continued.) )
