Chapter 957 942. Salted Fish Dishes (35)

Salted and dried fish, this is the main dish of former coastal fishing villages.

In the era when products were scarce, fresh fish could not always be eaten even if people lived by the sea.

First of all, there was a sea ban policy in ancient times, which was strict until the Qing Dynasty. The stupid Qing government cleared the coastline and moved many fishing villages inland. If someone goes to sea, whether it is fishing or sightseeing, they will be treated as sea operations and beheaded.

Secondly, even if fish were caught in ancient times, it had to be taken to the market and sold. A person who is covered with silk is not a silkworm farmer, and for the same reason, a person who eats seafood is not a fisherman.

The most important thing is that in the past, people did not dare to go to sea easily, especially the distant seas. The summed up sea proverbs and the laws observed by the eyes alone were not enough to warn of dangerous ocean weather.

When a fisherman goes out to sea, he really hangs his head on the bow of the boat. He may lose his boat at any time. Therefore, after catching fish, people try to squeeze the highest profit. They sell all that can be sold, and keep the unsalable to pickle Pickle and eat slowly.

There was nothing to say before dinner, so Wang Bo told Eva something about the fishermen he had heard before.

"I can understand this. Life is very bitter. Most of the time in our Ukrainian history, people can only eat black bread and a little salted meat. This is similar to your dry food and salted fish, right?"

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, that's it, but what's a little different is that the only way you eat salted meat is to serve it with bread and make salted broth. There are many ways to cook salted fish."

Eva asked: "I know it can be fried and eaten, then what?"

Father Bo laughed and said, "Fried and eaten is actually the way of eating now. If there was oil to fry fish in the past, who would eat fish? The money for eating oil can be exchanged for pork."

Eva is very interested in cooking, but somehow she has no talent for it.

Hearing that there were many ways to eat salted fish in the past, she asked what dishes she could make.

Dad Bo saw her curious, and said: "Well, it's actually good to eat salted fish dishes once in a while, why don't we cook these dishes tonight."

Wang Bo washed his hands and said, "Then I have to help."

When eating salted fish dishes, steamed buns or rice should not be used as the staple food, but pancakes made of coarse grains, such as corn flour pancakes, Sihe noodles pancakes, etc. This is specially paired with salted fish.

Bo Ma took out a pile of flour, including corn flour, bean flour, sweet potato flour and millet flour, and then mixed the dough with pure milk and white sugar, and added egg whites. The steamed pancakes were much more delicious than steamed buns and rice.

"Get dumplings in the car and get noodles in the car." Mama Bo laughed while calling out the pancakes, "I want to make noodles for you to eat at night. The noodles I brought from your fourth aunt's house are really delicious."

Wang Bo took out a bottle of sunset honey and said, "You add this kind of honey to the noodles, it tastes better."

Bo mother said: "Is it enough to sprinkle a little sugar? It's too sweet, why do you eat salted fish?"

Wang Bo thought for a while and said, "Why don't you divide it into two parts and make one part sweet. This kind of honey is very good, and it was made by a very powerful foreign beekeeper in the town."

"Is that some kind of Macallu honey?" asked Beau.

Wang Bo laughed: "Hey, Dad, do you still know about McCallu honey?"

Father Bo snorted and said, "Don't underestimate your father, didn't you bring a lot of them with you every time you went home?"

Indeed, Wang Bo had forgotten about it.

Eva asked if there was anyone who could help, Lao Wang hurriedly protected the stove: "No, honey, we are going to have a reunion dinner tonight, so don't get meddled."

Bo's mother pushed him, and said angrily: "How can you talk about it? Come on, baby, come to Mom, you can light a fire for Mom, you must be able to do this."

Wang Bo laughed and said, "Mom, aren't you scolding people? I just don't let Eva intervene, you let others light the fire. Also, we are not married yet, you even call me mom."

Daddy Bo, who was chopping salted fish, interjected, "Remember when I called and said that you have something urgent to do when you come back? That's it. You come back this time and decide on the marriage for us, at least get engaged first."

This Wang Bo was very happy, nodded and said yes, Eva was alone here, everything was up to her, she also shrugged and said yes.

Bo's father and Bo's mother immediately beamed with joy. When calling for pancakes, Bo's mother poured a catty of peanut oil into the pot.

Wang Bo was surprised: "Why do you pour so much oil?"

Mom Bo said: "This is for my son and daughter-in-law. Of course, use more oil. Peanut oil is called pancakes. The more oil, the better."

Bo Dae took out some soaked peanuts, rolled up his sleeves and heated the oil in the frying pan. After boiling, he first put star anise and peppercorns, then chili peppers, green onions, ginger and garlic. After boiling, he added fish pieces and continued to fry.

Wang Bo prepared soy sauce and vinegar, and Bo Dad added these condiments, poured hot water, put chopped celery, and then put the peanuts into the pot and stewed together.

This is stewed peanuts with salted fish. It is a cold dish. After cooking, you have to wait for the dish to cool naturally before eating it.

Wang Bo made salted fish and eggplant stew. This dish is not easy to cook. You can only use fish, and you have to chop the fish into minced meat.

Tear the eggplant into strips and fry in oil, then add onion, ginger, and garlic for aroma, put the minced fish meat into the pan and stir-fry vigorously, and finally stir-fry together with the eggplant until the flavors of both sides are combined, and this dish is ready.

When he was making salted fish and eggplant stew, Bo Dad turned on the rice cooker, wrapped the salted fish with a lot of chili, chopped green onion, ginger and garlic, put it in a basin and steamed it vigorously in the rice cooker.

This is steamed salted fish. Seriously speaking, in the past, this method was the most common way to eat salted fish in their fishing villages. It was delicious and cheap.

In addition, there are braised salted fish, roasted pork with salted fish, stewed tofu with salted fish, etc. Wang Bo and Bo Dad joined forces, and six or seven dishes came out soon.

After Bo's mother made the pancakes, she brushed the oil in the pan onto the pan, and put slices of dried yellow croaker in the pan to fry.

Fried dried fish in a big pot, this is the best taste among the dried fish that Wang Bo eats. He once wanted to quit his job in the Imperial Capital to do this business. He took his parents to find a market in the Imperial Capital to sell pancakes and fried fish in a large pot. Dry.

There are two cold dishes on the dinner table, which are shredded salted fish and crispy salted fish. These are all prepared before, and they can be served directly after dinner.

There is a conflict between shredded salted fish and steamed salted fish. It means steaming salted fish and tearing it into strips to eat. of.

Five people shared a table, and when the smell of rice wafted, Zhuang Ding and Brother Fat Cat ran back. They had been playing in the snow on the street before.

Bo's mother looked at Xuehu who had been sitting in the corner and said, "Is this a cat or a dog? It's so beautiful and well-behaved. Now your family finally has a serious pet."

Wang Bodao: "This is a fox, Xuehu, do you think it is good? Watch it—"

As he spoke, he took a piece of dried fish and stuffed it into his mouth, eating it with gusto.

The princess put her life on the line and rushed to Wang Bo to grab the dried fish and eat it.
