941. Doomian (2/5)
Salted fish and dried fish, which were the main dishes of coastal fishing villages in the past.
In an era when products are scarce, even if you live by the beach, you cannot often eat fresh fish.
First of all, there was a policy of sea ban in ancient times. It was strictly for the Qing Dynasty that the stupid Qing government cleared the coastline and moved many fishing villages into the inland. Some people went to sea to take fishing or sightseeing, and they were treated as maritime operations and beheaded.
Secondly, even if fish were caught in ancient times, they had to be taken to the market to sell. Those who were covered with silk and silk were not silkworms. The same principle was that those who ate Shanghai food were not fishermen.
The most important thing is that people did not dare to go to sea easily in the past, especially in the long sea. The summed sea proverbs and the rules observed by the eyes were not enough to warn of dangerous ocean weather.
When a fisherman goes to sea, he really puts his head on the bow of the boat. Maybe he will lose both people and boats at any time. So after people catch fish, they try to squeeze out the highest profit. They sell all the things that can be sold, and keep what cannot be sold and pickle them. They will eat them slowly when they are salty.
There was nothing to say before dinner, so Wang Bo told Eva some of the things he had heard about the fishermen before.
"I can understand this. Life is very hard. Most of the time in Ukrainian history, people can only eat black bread and a little bacon. This is similar to your dry food and salted fish, right?"
Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, that's it, but the difference is that you only eat bacon with bread and salted meat soup. There are many ways to make salted fish."
Eva asked, "I know I can fry it, and then?"
Bo Dad laughed and said, "Fried and eaten is actually the way to eat now. In the past, if there was oil to fry fish, who would still eat fish? The money for eating oil can be exchanged for pork."
Eva is very interested in cooking, but for some reason, she really has no talent in this regard.
I heard that there were many ways to eat salted fish in the past, so she asked what dishes she could make.
Seeing that she was curious, Bo Dad said, "In this way, it's actually good to eat salted fish dishes occasionally. Why don't we make these dishes tonight?"
Wang Bo washed his hands and said, "Then I have to help."
When eating salted fish dishes, you cannot use steamed buns or rice for the staple food. You have to use coarse grain paste cakes, such as corn flour cakes, sihe noodles cakes, etc. This one 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 used pure milk and white sugar to mix the noodles, plus egg white, and the steamed cakes were much better than steamed buns and rice.
"Get into the car and get off the car noodle." Bo's mother smiled while calling out the pancakes, "I still want to give you some noodles tonight. The noodles I picked up from your fourth aunt's house are so delicious."
Wang Bo took out a bottle of sunset honey and said, "You add this honey to the noodles, it will be even better."
Bo's mother said, "Is it enough to sprinkle a little sugar? It's too sweet, why do you put the salted fish on the rice?"
Wang Bo thought for a while and said, "How about you split it into two parts, one is made into sweet. This kind of honey is very good. It was made by a very powerful foreign beekeeper in the town."
"Is that McCalu Honey?" asked Daddy.
Wang Bo was happy: "Oh, dad, do you still know McCallu Honey?"
Dad Bo hummed and said, "Don't underestimate your dad. Didn't you bring a lot of them every time you came home?"
Indeed, Wang Bo forgot about this.
Eva asked if there was anyone who could help, and Lao Wang quickly protected the stove: "Don't, my dear, we're going to have a reunion dinner tonight, so don't get involved."
Bo's mother pushed him and said angrily: "How do you say a naughty child? Come, baby, come to mom, you can definitely do this."
Wang Bo laughed and said, "Mom, aren't you scolding people? I just don't let Eva interfere, you let others burn the fire. Also, we are not married yet, you even call me mom."
Bo Dad, who was chopping salted fish, interrupted, "Remember I called and said that it's important to come back? That's it. You'll settle the marriage for us when you come back this time, at least get engaged first."
Wang Bo was very happy and nodded and said yes. Eva was alone, and she was the one who made the decision. She shrugged and said yes.
Bo Dad and Bo Mom immediately smiled happily. When Bo Mom was urging the pancake, she poured a pound of peanut oil into the pot.
Wang Bo said in surprise: "Why do you pour so much oil?"
Bo's mother said: "This is for the son and daughter-in-law to eat. Of course, you have to use more oil, peanut oil and pancakes. The more oil the better it tastes."
Bo Dad took out some soaked peanuts, rolled up his sleeves and boiled oil in the wok. After boiling, he first added star anise and pepper, then chili peppers, green onions, ginger and garlic, and then stir-fryed. After stir-frying, add fish pieces and continue to stir-fry.
Wang Bo prepared soy sauce and vinegar. Bo Dad added these seasonings after taking a few steps, poured in hot water and put the cut celery, and then put the peanuts in the pot and stewed them together.
This is a stewed peanuts with salted fish, which is a cold dish. After cooking, you have to wait until the dish is naturally cool before you can eat it.
Wang Bo makes salted fish and eggplant pot. This dish is not easy to cook. He can only use fish meat and also chop the fish into meat.
Tear the eggplant into strips and over oil, then add the onion, ginger and garlic to make the aroma, put the fish foam into the pot and stir-fry vigorously, and finally stir-fry with the eggplant. When the flavors of both sides are combined, the dish will be done.
When he was making a salted fish eggplant pot, Bo Dad turned on the rice cooker, wrapped the salted fish with a lot of chili, chopped green onions, ginger and garlic, and put it in a basin and steamed it in a rice cooker.
This is steamed salted fish. To put it seriously, in the past, the most common method of eating salted fish in their fishing villages was this way, which was delicious and cost-effective.
In addition, there are braised salted fish, salted fish and pork, salted fish stewed tofu, etc. Wang Bo and Bo Dad joined forces, and six or seven dishes came out soon.
After Bo Ma finished calling the cake, he brushed the oil from the pot on the pot and put slices of dried yellow croaker and fryed it in the pot.
Fried dried fish in a large pot. This is the best taste of Wang Bo. He once had a period of time in Emperors who wanted to quit his job and do this business, and took his parents to find a market in the capital to sell pancakes and fried dried fish in the large pot.
There were two cold dishes on the table, namely hand-pulled salted fish and crispy salted fish. These were all made before, and you can just serve them directly after the meal.
There is a bit of a conflict between hand-killed salted fish and steamed salted fish. It steams the salted fish and tear them into strips to eat. However, there is also a conflict between the two. Steamed salted fish is used to make rice, while hand-killed salted fish is used to make wine.
Five people had a table of dishes. When the smell of rice was rising, the sturdy guys and the fat cat brothers ran back. They had been playing with snow on the streets before.
Bo's mother looked at the snow fox who had been sitting in the corner and said, "Is this a cat or a dog? So beautiful and so well-behaved. Your family finally has a serious pet now."
Wang Bo said: "This is a fox, snow fox. Do you think it is good? Look at it?"
As he said that, he took a piece of dried fish and stuffed it into his mouth and started eating it with great flavor.
