Chapter 682 You Try It First
“Hey, keep your voice down, don’t wake up others.” The third aunt reminded quickly. She was worried that people in the yard would see so many fish and ask for them. What if they wanted to take them?
If they give it, they will feel bad, but if they don’t, people will say that they are petty.
"What are you afraid of!" Yan Bugui waved his hand.
If he wasn't afraid of being scolded, Yan Bugui would even want to wake up everyone in the yard and let them take a good look at today's catch.
After saying that, Yan Bugui began to move the fish into the house.
Chen Jun originally wanted to put these fish directly at Yan Bugui's house, but Yan Bugui refused to agree and insisted that they could only be taken after being weighed the next day.
Got it!
The third uncle has now become more particular. Not only does he not take advantage of others, he even has to pay.
But in this case, Chen Jun not only had to go home to find a basin and a water tank, but also had to prevent the fish from suffocating to death. He had to toss and turn until the late night before he could take a bath and go to bed.
Although everyone went to bed late at night, Chen Jun got up earlier than anyone else.
As soon as the sky turned white, Chen Jun got up and started to wash.
After washing up, I went to check on the fish I caught in the evening. Seeing that there was nothing serious, I went to the kitchen to knead the dough.
The eels caught with ground traps are real treasures. They are big and strong. They are very nutritious if used as breakfast. They can replenish qi and warm the yang.
To make a delicious eel noodles, you not only need to choose fresh eel meat, but also chewy hand-rolled noodles. The two together can make the eel noodles taste the best.
That's why Chen Jun got up early, scooped some Fuqiang flour into the basin, and was about to crack a few eggs into it when he suddenly flipped his wrist and took out a few wild duck eggs from the system warehouse.
I picked this thing up while fishing yesterday. It is also purely wild and is a perfect substitute for eggs.
After adding the wild duck eggs, Chen Jun sprinkled some salt and began to knead the dough. For him, this was as easy as drinking cold water. After a few minutes, the dough was formed.
While the dough was resting, Chen Jun started to cook the wild eels.
Although they had been in the basin for a night, the eels were still very energetic. Chen Jun could only nail the eels to the board, pick up a knife and quickly cut the eels' backs, remove the bones and internal organs at an incredible speed, and finally cut the eels in half with a few clicks.
The eel was cooked before it could even be tossing around a few times.
If a stranger saw this scene, he would definitely think that Chen Jun was an experienced fish butcher, otherwise how could his technique be so clean and efficient?
Chen Jun rinsed the knife in his hand with water with great satisfaction. This knife was also from that set of knives and was extremely suitable for processing ingredients such as eels.
A small basin full of eel slices was collected, and the dough on the other side had also risen.
Take the chopping board, grab a handful of flour and sprinkle it on it. Then take out the rolling pin and press the dough into a large pancake with a diameter of more than one meter. Stack them together and cut them into noodles of appropriate width with a knife.
The noodles made in this way are not only chewy and elastic, but also will not stick together when stacked together. They are extremely suitable for making large bowls of wide noodles or stewed noodles or oil-splashed noodles.
Looking at the time, Chen Jun estimated that his mother and Lin Yao would soon get up, so he opened the kitchen window and started heating the oil in the pot.
When the oil temperature comes up, pour in the scallions, ginger and garlic and start to sauté until fragrant.
To bring out the aroma of onions, ginger and garlic, Chen Jun poured in the processed eel pieces and began to stir-fry.
"呲~~~"
A rich fragrance rose up with the steam from the pot, not only filling the kitchen, but also some of it seeping into the yard through the window.
Xu Damao, who was originally preparing to get up, suddenly sat up from the bed.
what's going on? ?
Who starts frying meat dishes so early in the morning? Isn’t it so delicious?
Xu Damao was closest to Chen Jun's house. He opened the window and took a few deep breaths of the fragrance. He immediately felt refreshed.
It refreshes your mind!
Xu Damao used his nose to think and knew that the fragrance came from Chen Jun's house.
It's a crime, it's simply a crime!
You're already greedy so early in the morning. Do you want to let other people live?
And Chen Jun went fishing last night. Isn’t he sleepy if he starts cooking so early?
At the same time, Lin Yao, who was sleeping in the room, suddenly shrugged her nose. Her eyes were not open yet, but her head had been lifted from the pillow, sniffing the air.
Although he was not yet conscious, his nose had already started looking for food.
“It smells so good, so good!”
Lin Yao muttered to herself as she sat up from the bed, opening and closing her mouth as if she was hoping to have something put into it.
This state lasted for two or three minutes. Lin Yao's brain gradually started to wake up. She quickly put on her clothes and headed towards the kitchen.
"Brother, you are so...ah~~~how come there are so many fish!"
As soon as Lin Yao walked into the kitchen, she saw basins filled with fish that she had caught last night.
Not only did these fish not die, they even fluttered their feet from time to time.
"Awake?" Chen Jun glanced at Lin Yao's messy hair and said with a smile, "Go wash your face, brush your teeth, and tidy up. You can eat later."
Lin Yao nodded, looking at the cut noodles on the chopping board, and couldn't help asking: "Brother, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good."
Chen Jun picked up a few slices of yellow eel with a spatula: "Stir-fried yellow eel slices, we will eat eel noodles later."
Yellow eel? ?
Lin Yao couldn't help scratching her chin when she heard that. Isn't that thing said to be very fishy? Why does it smell so good? It's much better than any shredded pork noodles.
"Stop standing here!"
"Hey, I'll go right away!" Lin Yao took another look into the pot, then went to the yard to wash her face and brush her teeth.
"Lin Yao, Lin Yao, what is your brother preparing to eat?"
As soon as Lin Yao arrived in the yard, she saw Xu Damao leaning on the window and shouting at her.
"Eel noodles, made with the yellow eels we caught last night."
Lin Yao explained for Chen Jun so that people in the hospital wouldn't think too much.
After all, you need a ticket to buy meat these days, and the monthly ration of meat tickets is pitifully small. The smell in the yard sounds like meat is being fried, so some people would definitely think that Chen Jun is profiteering and using his position as canteen director to take meat home.
But if they knew that what was being fried were sliced yellow eels, they would definitely not say anything.
You can eat whatever you catch in the river, and no one will care.
"Eel noodles?" Xu Damao couldn't help but frown after hearing this, and couldn't help but say, "That thing is very fishy, how can it be delicious?"
After that, without waiting for Lin Yao to answer, he muttered again: "Your brother's cooking skills are so good, the eel noodles must be good."
"Lin Yao, try it for Brother Damao first. If it tastes good, remember to let me know so I can go to the river and catch some eels!"
Even Xu Damao felt embarrassed to go and eat for free so early in the morning, so he wanted to wait for Lin Yao's feedback. If the fish tasted good, he would go and catch some eels.
