Chapter 760: Big Fish Stewed
As the fish floated out of the water in an instant, Jiang Hai's wrist also shook, and the hook was instantly hung on the fish's mouth.
"Pais..." As the fish hurt, the big fish also jumped out of the water, quite active.
"What a big fish, what a big fish, be careful..." Seeing the big fish that jumped out of the water, Xia Yuan shouted immediately.
Jiang Hai also glanced at it. The fish he caught was about 60 cm long, and it looked almost seven kilograms. The carp didn't count. Because of its size, some were wider and some were narrower, so it was not accurate. But Jiang Hai glanced at it and found that it was about the weight, and then it was a sliver. After all, the fishing rod was not his. If it was broken, it would be troublesome.
So he took a long time to get the fish to the edge of the water. Xia Yuan saw it and without saying a word, she went down the net to copy the fish, but the fish had a great power and almost brought her into the water.
However, Xia Yuan is not easy to mess with after all. Her physical fitness and so many jobs can be seen.
As soon as she tried her best, she threw the fish onto the lawn next to her. She looked quite excited when she looked at the fish that was still jumping inside the net.
"This fish is enough for us to eat." Looking at the fish, she couldn't help but smile.
"Make some more small crucian carp, we can fry it and eat it." Hearing her words, Jiang Hai also smiled, then changed the hook to the smallest hook, then put the bait on, that is, the earthworms dug nearby, and then threw it into the water.
Maybe the fish here are really hungry. Not long after the earthworms went down, they bit the hook. This time, the little fish Jiang Hai didn't have to slip away and pulled it up. It turned out that they were two crucian carp the size of a palm, and a double-fire cannon came, which may be because of the sound of the head.
About half an hour later, Jiang Hai caught thirteen crucian carp, which were of different sizes, the big ones were as big as a slap, and the small ones were only as big as half. Xia Yuan looked very happy with these fish.
"Let's go, pick up my girl." Seeing that the fish was almost done, she was not ready to catch more, but said directly to Jiang Hai.
Hearing her words, Jiang Hai also smiled and walked to a kindergarten near the community with her. At four o'clock, the kindergarten was over. A beautiful mixed-race girl in a small dress appeared in Jiang Hai's sight.
"Baby!" Seeing this girl, Xia Yuan ran over and picked up the girl, but the girl looked at Jiang Hai and felt a little timid, her big eyes were full of curiosity and doubt. Who is this uncle standing with her mother?
"Come on, let me introduce you to me. This is my little baby, Xia Xueyao, her English name is Joyce, baby, this is Uncle Jiang Hai. Just call him Uncle Jiang. Today, Uncle Jiang is having dinner with us at our house." Hearing Xia Yuan's introduction, this pink little girl also called Jiang Hai timidly. When she heard her words, Jiang Hai couldn't help laughing.
Then the three of them carried the fish they caught back and returned to Xia Yuan's home, Xia Yuan's home, and rented a living in this community.
I rented a two-bedroom and one living room, about fifty square meters. After Jiang Hai went in, he looked around. Although this was a very old house, although this was a very dilapidated home, there was almost nothing new. Even the TV was the kind of big-headed TV. I don’t know how long it took to use the air conditioner. The entire air conditioner looked particularly yellow, and the lights were dizzy due to the electricity bill.
To be honest, if it weren't for Jiang Hai's strong presence, he even thought he had come to the 1990s.
However, although this small house looks a bit dilapidated, Xia Yuan should be a very hardworking person because her room is very clean.
"Look at it casually, sit down, I'll go get some food." When Jiang Hai was looking at the room, Xia Yuan also came over, said to Jiang Hai, and then went to the kitchen to work hard. Jiang Hai looked at the kitchen. It was really a bit too small, which made him extremely plan to go in and help. He looked at the two rooms. The one in the middle should be Xia Yuan's room, and the one in the small one was very warmly decorated, and it should be Xia Xueyao's room. Some people would say, how old is Xia Xueyao, and she wants to sleep in one room by herself?
In fact, this is very common in the United States. The American education system is completely different from that in China.
Because American children have been developing independent personality since childhood, Xiao Xia Xueyao also has a separate room.
After watching it, Jiang Hai sat on the sofa. Xia Xueyao did not make a fuss, but sat not far beside Jiang Hai, watching the cartoons on TV, and looking at the well-behaved girl in front of him, Jiang Hai's thoughts couldn't help but floated to the distance...
You can't expect him to sit here without being dazed, but to accompany his little friend to watch a four-year-old cartoon, that would be too bad.
Here, Jiang Hai has to sigh that the educational policies of China and the United States are different. In China, although it is a socialist system, children should be the best at going to school. In the eyes of parents, children have to compare from childhood. They have to compare learning with classmates, and they have to compare everything with classmates. Other people's children should be the most troublesome sentence for Jiang Hai and his generation.
While oppressing children, domestic parents are actually oppressing themselves. Since childhood, when they were in kindergarten, parents are stuffing money.
In order to let the teacher take care of the children more at school, to let the teacher be the first to dress the children when he leaves the house, and to let the teacher tell the children more clearly, in Jiang Hai's memory, almost everyone has given gifts to the teachers since childhood.
Jiang Hai's parents also gave gifts to the teacher, including what he had heard before. When they were in junior high school, a classmate with some intelligence problems was not good at speaking. He took the exam for 20 to 300 yuan a year. But because his father gave the teacher a laptop at that time, he became the class monitor and class teacher's class representative. Who do you want to make sense?
But to be honest, these do not exist in the United States. Of course, they are not so absolute. Maybe some black sheep that Jiang Hai knew about appeared, but with Jiang Hai's understanding of elementary schools and schools near Winthrop, this is impossible.
In the United States, if a child wants to become a class leader when he is young, it is inevitable that gifts will not work. In the United States, a world that advocates heroism among all people, Americans have to have a sense of collectiveness since childhood. Before going to elementary school in the United States, they went to pre-school classes.
If you want to be a cadre in the preschool class, first of all, you have to serve your classmates and you have to get good reviews from your classmates.
In such an environment, there are three people in each class, one opens the door, one leads the team, and the other turns off the lights. Everyone wants to be the team leader, but this requires the children's genre to rank. It's your turn, and it won't work if it's not.
After entering elementary school, the school's policy is also a shepherd-style education. There is not so much eligible education, and there is not so much to learn.
Unless you organize your own club, it is almost impossible to become an official in the class by giving gifts to teachers.
This is difficult to convince the public, but in China, whether it is the teacher's words? But in foreign countries, the teacher's words are not easy to use.
Jiang Hai couldn't say which one is better or which one is not good. He may also look good in China, because he is not short of money, just spend money, see who has spent it. The education abroad is also good, and he can save some money...
"It's time to eat." Just as Jiang Hai was floating there, Xia Yuan's voice also came out. Listening to Xia Yuan's voice, Jiang Hai ran back from his thoughts, smiled at her, then went to the kitchen to wash his hands, and saw a large bowl of fish soup, which was ready.
Next to these fish soup, there was a plate of small fish, which was fried crucian carp. After Jiang Hai washed his hands, he also brought out the two things. Xia Yuan, who was originally planning to come in to help, saw that Jiang Hai had already brought out, and he didn't say anything else.
Instead, he quickly cleaned up the table, then went to the refrigerator to take out some beer and put it on the table.
"Come on, let's eat!" Seeing that the two plates of fish were in place, she also said to Jiang Hai, then hugged her daughter, sat at the table, greeted Jiang Hai, and said something, without saying a word, she picked up a piece of fish and put it into her bowl, but she did not rush to eat, but picked out the thorns on it, and then put it into her daughter's bowl. Looking at Xia Yuan's appearance, Jiang Hai suddenly felt like he wanted to have a child. You must know that there are many women, but there has been no movement in the past two years.
"What's wrong? Eat?" Seeing Jiang Hai still being stupid, Xia Yuan also looked at him and said to him.
"Oh, hehe..." Jiang Hai was stunned for a moment when he heard Xia Yuan's words, then picked up a chopstick of fish and put it into his bowl. After eating, Jiang Hai's eyebrows couldn't help but raise. The taste was beyond his expectations.
And it seems to taste similar to the stewed fish I had when I was a child. You know, this is very rare. First, when I was a child, the economy of China was not too developed at that time. Everyone knows that there are very few delicious foods that have been eaten, so once you eat them, you will feel very delicious. Now Jiang Hai is not an exaggeration to say that he lives in the middle of delicious food.
Qi Ya's talent is all about eating, including Chinese and Western styles. Not only does she make her a master chef, but it is not a problem to get the name of a chef. In addition to the ingredients raised by Jiang Hai, the things she makes are not delicious.
But unexpectedly, the taste of this fish was not worse than that of Qi Ya, which really surprised Jiang Hai.
"It's delicious, haha, I knew that people in Bingcheng couldn't not like to eat this bite. This is my secret recipe. My father used to be a chef, and this was what he taught me..." Looking at Jiang Hai's appearance, Xia Yuan knew that Jiang Hai was very happy to eat, so she smiled and started to speak, and at the same time she opened two bottles of beer, one bottle, one bottle of Jiang Hai, one bottle of fish, and another sip of wine. Jiang Hai nodded with satisfaction.
"How is this fish made?" Jiang Hai said with satisfaction after eating another piece of tofu in the fish soup.
"This is mainly to get the ingredients together. Big fish and wild ones are the best. Secondly, there are tofu, vermicelli, cabbage, pork belly, stick mushrooms, potatoes, green chili, small dried red peppers, onion, ginger, garlic, salt, cooking wine, sugar, soy sauce, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, and the most important thing is Schisandra and Suzi leaves." Hearing that Jiang Hai was very interested in this, Xia Yuan also said slowly.
"When you make the fish, you need to make the fish, fry for three or four minutes, and then mix the soup. This is the most important thing. If you go back and cook, you have to mix it carefully several times before you can know how much of these things are added. Then fry pork belly, use the oil from the pork belly as the base, then put the fried fish in, then pour in the prepared soup, and stew it over high heat. After the water boils for five minutes, turn it into low heat for stew for twenty minutes. After stewing for twenty minutes, add vermicelli, potatoes and hazel mushrooms, add tofu and white tea after ten minutes, and turn off the heat after stewing for five minutes. This dish will be done." Xia Yuan said to Jiang Hai while holding the fish.
When Jiang Hai heard about how to cook this dish, his head hurts a little. It seems that making a delicious dish is indeed a very troublesome thing.
If he had to do this, it would be fine if he did it a few times, but if he did it too many times, he would not be willing to do it.
But not willing to cook does not mean that he does not want to eat it. Just like now, he is still quite willing to eat it. The speed, fish, vermicelli, and Jiang Hai are all very happy to eat. Seeing Jiang Hai having fun, Xia Xueyao also started eating with big mouthfuls. I have to admit that there are too many people to eat happily. If there are too few people, it will be meaningless to eat.
After eating some and getting the bottom, Jiang Hai and Xia Yuan also started drinking. Although they didn't know each other before today, they were from the same place after all, and they were still very familiar with the matters there. And as they talked about it, they found that they were actually from the same school when they were junior high school. After all, in that era, there were only a limited number of people who would spend money to choose schools.
Most people study nearby, and there is only one junior high school near Jiang Hai and the others, so they are naturally studying in this middle school.
After a layer of alumni relationship this time, the two of them were even more happy to drink. While drinking, Jiang Hai did not pay attention. Before he knew it, it was completely dark and he was still walking forward slowly. At about eight o'clock, Xia Xueyao went back to the house to sleep by herself.
As for Jiang Hai and Xia Yuan were still drinking there, when Jiang Hai found that Xia Yuan had drunk a little too much, he looked at his watch and it was already ten o'clock. They had already drank all the wine in the refrigerator, and Jiang Hai glanced at the beer bottles all over the floor.
He had to drink almost twenty bottles, and Xia Yuan had to drink fifteen or sixteen. (To be continued.)
