Chapter 144 The carp leaps over the dragon gate
The fifth update is here, and 800 monthly tickets will be added! Come and subscribe!
One net, there were four or five hundred kilograms of fish.
Carp, crucian carp, fat-headed fish, black fish, catfish, all kinds of fish, vary in size and have a huge harvest. A large group of soldiers helped to remove the fish from the net, and there was no need for a wooden bucket bag. The folded willow branches by the river can skew more than a dozen fish.
"Wow, this fat-headed fish is at least ten kilograms!"
"My carp must be twenty kilograms."
Several guys were holding a few big fish and competing.
"What are you? Look at me, the golden carp!"
Golden carp is indeed rare, not to mention that this is a golden carp of at least 30 kilograms, which is simply the fish king that is fighting in this net.
"It's almost a sperm."
"Well, maybe one day I will jump into the dragon gate and turn into a dragon."
"I don't dare to eat such fish, so I'd better put it."
Zhang Chao was so annoying that he finally caught a big fish, but you still wanted to let it go. This is really feudal superstition. Why don’t you think about your belly first? A big fish of thirty kilograms is enough for you to eat for many days.
"This fish should be presented to the King of Qin."
Zhang Chao walked over and looked at the golden carp that was still twisting.
When everyone heard this, it really makes sense, so let's give it to the King of Qin.
On the riverside, Zhang Chao had already made a few pots. Everyone worked so hard that they had to eat some to replenish their energy. Zhang Chao was not satisfied with just fishing and leaving. Since there were fish, I would catch him more.
The medical camp can’t finish eating, and can still give it to the friendly brothers. The friendly army can’t finish eating, and can still dry it for dried fish.
The earth stove was dug, the big pot was set up, and someone picked up firewood.
A group of soldiers there were busy killing fish.
Add water to the pot and wait to boil.
The fish scraped off the scales, removed the gill leaves, cut open the stomach, and removed the fish intestines. The fish oil, fish liver, fish gallbladder, Zhang Chao let them all stay.
Eating cod liver and fish gallbladder is beneficial, which can increase vision, especially to cure night blindness.
In fact, fish scales can also be eaten. It is actually delicious to cook and stew the fish scales and make fish jelly. However, since there are so many fish, I am too lazy to care about those fish scales anymore.
But fish bubbles are Zhang Chao’s favorite. Whether they are dried or cooked, fish bubbles are a delicious dish.
Some fish found roe, which is also a good thing, and the roe is delicious when made.
"Colle all the fish soaked in cabbage, fish liver, fish gallbladder, fish oil and put them separately."
Zhang Chao also called the soldiers and civilians who watched the fun, "If you are fine, go and pick some wild vegetables. Those who pick wild vegetables will eat fish and drink fish soup later."
In winter, there are actually many types of wild vegetables in the fields. Cooking fresh wild vegetables with fish can play an excellent role in increasing freshness.
In the big pot of stewing fish, Zhang Chao didn't add any seasonings, so he cut some ginger slices, not even garlic and green onions, and naturally there were no other spices. Zhang Chao didn't have many spices himself, so he couldn't bear to eat them all in one meal.
But for those who are far away from their hometowns and stay on the battlefields in foreign lands in the middle of winter, and even the soldiers and civilians who have eaten dried vegetables, vinegar cloth for a long time, it would be amazing to have a fresh stewed fish.
Boil the water and kill the fish directly.
These guys couldn't bear to wash them even, and said that it would be delicious if they washed away the blood. The fish was not marinated with seasonings first, and they didn't fry them first, threw them into the pot and then covered them with a lid.
Fortunately, these guys at least know how to chop the fish.
Without even the oil, Zhang Chao looked down on this kind of boiled fish. It tasted like fishy. However, for those excited men who were adding firewood and fire to the pot, the fish that had just been killed were all fragrant.
Looking at the big piece of fish into the pot, the white and red fish meat, that tempting.
"Add some dry vegetables." Zhang Chao couldn't stand it anymore. What delicious food could this fish be? Add some dry vegetables, and at least you can get some fishy food.
"Yes, add some dried vegetables, and add some wild vegetables later."
Then, these guys just throw some dried beans into it, they throw some dried radishes into it, and some beans into it, and some people sprinkle them directly into it, including rice, wheat, and a variety of dried vegetables.
Someone even pulled out a piece of vinegar cloth, then cut off one and threw it into the pot.
Zhang Chao was completely disinterested in the fish in the pot.
It's better to make a pot by yourself.
He asked someone to come and dig a new hole, and then put a pot on it.
Zhang Chao picked a very fat black fish. The black fish bones were less tender and tender. It has always been Zhang Chao's favorite. He slaughtered the alive black fish, removed the fish scales and internal organs, and chopped them into fish pieces.
Marinate with fine salt and some ginger for a while, add oil to the wok and cook until 70% hot. Fry the flying fish pieces over medium heat until the water is dried. When the fish side is slightly yellow, pour some wine and add boiling water to boil for about five minutes. At this time, the fish is half-cooked and you can take it out and set aside.
Zhang Chao also took a pot rack and poured the fish soup for cooking, then put the washed rice in it, and then added some fine salt to cook.
Cook until the rice grains bloom and the rice soup is about to dry, put the half-cooked fish pieces on the rice, cover and simmer 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 and meat stewed rice was completed, and the second net had been placed under the ice on the river.
Zhang Chao looked at the time and brought another pot of fish bubbles, washed them a little and then began to cook them.
Stewed rice with fish meat, boiled fish soaks, stir-fried fish liver, roasted fish roe, and wild vegetable soup for crucian carp.
"It's time to eat!"
Zhang Chao served a few dishes and turned around and shouted at the guys who had just harvested the second net of fish on the ice.
The fish from a few big pots cooked by the soldiers there were also cooked.
The big pot of boiled fish, the whole crucian carp and wild vegetable soup in the big pot, and the small fish porridge in the big pot are all filled with bowls or basins, and they are directly filled with large iron pots. They don’t have to be picked up, and when you want to eat, just use a spoon to scoop.
On the riverside, there were both Zhang Chao’s medical camp, the civilians in Mingshui City, the fun-watching soldiers, and even the soldiers on duty who were on duty at the city gate couldn’t help but take turns to come to eat fish rice.
"tasty!"
“It’s so delicious!”
The scene was simply out of control.
When I was fishing just now, I was just watching the fun and watching the freshness. Now, I finally got to eat. These people are like foodies reincarnated and starved ghosts.
They took out their Tie Meng one by one, but they could hold a few pounds of iron lunch boxes. These guys were not afraid of holding on.
Line up and squeeze in front of each pot.
"Give me a half-box fish segment."
"Come on a bowl of soup!"
They mixed a lot of basins of fish meat and fish soup and porridge into a mess, but they were very happy. They walked aside in a beautiful tune, squatted in a row with their companions, and folded two willow branches to use as chopsticks.
"Oh, this fish is so beautiful!"
Some soldiers in the mansion have not even eaten fish a few times in their entire lives because their homes are not close to the river. They have eaten with large pieces of fish, which is like a hungry dog rushing to eat.
Zhang Chao chose a place to go against the lee, and called Cheng Chumo and the guys who were so excited about fishing for a long time to have a meal.
"Uncle Shan, Uncle Wu, this is a fish gall, I left it for you specifically and swallowed it."
"Is the fish gallbladder bitter?" Ke Shan said in embarrassment.
"It is of course bitter if the fish gallbladder is broken, but if you don't break it, it won't be bitter if you swallow it. It is beneficial to eat the fish gallbladder, and you can see things at night. Don't you often say that you can't see things when you open your eyes at night."
"Oh, this fish gallbladder has this effect?"
"Of course, not only will you eat fish gallbladders have this effect, but you can also cure this problem when you wait for the spring of next year."
"That thing can be eaten? It's so disgusting, right?" Ke Shan frowned.
Zhang Chao smiled and said, "What's so disgusting about this? That's also meat."
Night blindness is also called blindfolded eyes. Many Tang people have this problem and often cannot see things clearly at night. Generally speaking, this is caused by lack of vitamins. Generally speaking, eating more foods rich in vitamins can prevent it, such as eggs, animal liver, etc.
Many people have night blindness, which is ultimately caused by malnutrition, single food, and lack of side food. It is easy to treat this disease, just supplement food.
Pig liver soup, crucian carp soup, spinach pork liver soup, and even beef liver, rabbit liver, lamb 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 and lack of side food. Of course, they do not have any conditions to eat liver often, and they don’t even have the chance to eat crucian carp soup. As for spinach, there are now, but only royals and nobles can afford it. This is a very expensive vegetable.
If you don’t have the conditions to eat liver or spinach, there is also a simple recipe, which is to eat tadpoles that catch frogs and eat them raw.
It is said that eating this thing is also effective, and of course eating fish gallbladder is also effective.
Night blindness has a great impact on people. Ordinary people are fine. After all, they stop at sunrise and sunset. However, for soldiers like Keshan, it is inevitable that they may encounter the night when they have to act. In wars, the ancients often carried out night attacks or even marches at night. They can’t see at night, and you can’t even recognize the road. If others come, what should you do?
Hearing what Zhang Chao said makes sense, Ke Shan and the others couldn't help but bring a bowl of fish gall.
"Don't eat too much at a time. Eat three or five a day. You can take these fish galls back. Anyway, the weather is not bad now. Just bury it with snow and eat it as snacks every day." Zhang Chao said with a smile.
He himself has no night blindness. His diet was healthy and rich in nutrition. After coming to the Tang Dynasty, he never treated himself badly.
Cheng Chumo and his grandchildren did not have this problem. They often had meat, milk, fresh poultry, eggs, and vegetables, so they naturally would 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 was not very big, except for a bit fishy.
After swallowing five of them in a row, Ke Wu looked at the bowl full of a bowl and put it aside with a bitter look on his face.
"In fact, eating more crucian carp soup can also have the effect of smearing birds and blindfolding!" Zhang Chao said with a smile.
Ke Wuyi looked at Zhang Chao with a resentful look on his face, then took a big bowl and handed it over, "Give me a big bowl of crucian carp soup!"
