The meat is not fresh when the fish dies, so in the midst of the turmoil, Xu Chen asked Feng and others to take the fish to the river to slaughter.

In addition, in order to verify how the sauce made from sashimi is made of vine fruit lees or simple wild onion and ginger, he specially chose the largest fish and personally took a stone knife to the river to handle it.

Just when the mountain was busy and busy, Mo Ba received the news and brought a large group of women to the forthcoming.

When the women arrived by the river, the river beach was already surrounded by people, and many people were carrying heavy big fish in their hands.

A group of hunters were using shells picked up on the river beach or temporarily made stone blades that were being cut open and scraped off the gills. The washed ones were neatly placed on the stones on the river beach.

Xu Chen is dealing with the fattest big fish.

The fish had more than ten kilograms of foot, and its scales were strong and could not be scraped with shells. It could only be cut down with a stone axe.

Gu Heju was helping him left and right.

The scales and blood that were bigger than coins splattered around, making the two of them covered in their bodies and faces.

After finally scraping the fish scales, Xu Chen thought that he could peel off the fish skin and make a pair of rain boots. After all, the water in the middle of winter is too cold.

Unfortunately, because the knife is too frustrated, neither the stone knife nor the shell is sharp enough. Not only did it make the pits after cutting for a long time, the fish skin looks like a rag, so I can only sigh and give up, and then the stone axe cruelly split the fish into two left and right pieces.

It is better to say it is a chopping, but it is actually a smashing.

Anyway, the last two halves of the fish looked terrible, with the spine and fish bones completely mixed together, and it was basically impossible to distinguish between the skin and bones.

Fortunately, the fish is big enough. After removing the head and dividing it into two halves, there are still several kilograms of each.

After a lot of effort wasted, he finally slowly cut off a large bowl of fish with a shell, but he was not clear about it, and he really couldn't make it into a thin shape.

Almost a large group of people gathered around Xu Chen to watch him work.

I wonder why he tried to scrape off the fish one by one.

At this time, Feng and several other hunters had already washed away all the remaining fish with their intestines and scalps. Mother Ba arranged for a group of women to carry all the fish back to prepare for cooking at night.

A few days ago, when Xu Chen suddenly wanted to leave a group of Wu people to help repair the house, Mother Ba was still worried that there would be not enough food, but Xu Chen dug a lot of yams in a blink of an eye, which made her and the older women breathe a sigh of relief.

But then Xu Chenlai left ten Muya tribe members.

Although more and more people work and the progress of building houses is getting faster, food is still the most worrying issue for Moba.

But today Xu Chen suddenly got so many big fish back, which instantly made her worry disappear.

Looking at Xu Chen's busy sweating, Mom Ba was both distressed and sad, and her eyes began to turn red unconsciously.

The more magical Xu Chen performed, the more nervous she became.

However, Xu Chen never worried about getting married.

Now he just wants to continue to live with the Ba people and keep moving forward step by step according to his plan.

As long as the tribes maintain such peace, tranquility and development exchanges, two or three years later, the old customs and habits of men who get married that do not conform to the historical concept of development may be completely changed because of him.

"Yega, take it back!"

Xu Chen handed the large bowl of fish that he had been huddling into the circle to the leaves that were not blinking, and then looked at the two halves of the fish that had been cut by himself, and couldn't help but thrust a few times.

A good fish, but it was fucked into a junk by myself.

Although there is still a lot of meat, most of them are stuck with fish bones and bones. A piece of fish skin is also full of holes. Even if it is taken back and cooked, it may be difficult to get a mouthful. It is a pity to throw it away like this. After thinking about it, he decided to take it back and mash it thoroughly to see if it can be made into fish balls.

After a group of people returned to the kiln factory lively, Xu Chen rushed all the people to continue working.

I can't eat mine and drink mine, but I still want to be lazy.

At this time, a group of Hu people who came to exchange goods were still in extreme excitement and envy, and were still discussing these big fish in a row.

Xu Chen called two potters to discuss the deal with the Hu people.

After two transactions with foreigners, Xu Chen has already had a serious mental shadow.

He decided not to participate in such heart-wrenching transactions in the future and left them all to the pottery factory for arrangements.

There are only five tribes nearby.

Moreover, the exchanges are similar, basically based on animal skins, and there are also various messy stones. For example, the Jinyu Beast Teeth that other tribes value more, he is not interested in at all. It is better to get some golden gems.

Although gold, green pine, amber and other things are useless at the moment, they look comfortable at least. As the tribe gradually expands and business develops slowly, ten or twenty years later, these things may gradually become valuable by integrating the currency.

After the other two transactions, the exchange ratio between animal skins and pottery was basically determined. One sheepskin exchanged two bowls, one sheepskin plus one worse animal skins exchanged for three plates, wolf skins and cowhides and other expensive animal skins exchanged for different sizes of clay pots and pots, etc. As for other messy stones and other things that you don’t recognize, just change them, and carry them back if you think it’s cheap.

Business is business, bargaining is OK, but it cannot be too outrageous. Just ensure that the goods are genuine and honest, and he will not be a bad person.

In addition, we should also give these primitive savages who sing and dance as much as they eat and drink, so that they can't live alone and live a life of slumber by just eating and drinking. They should feel that they need to work hard to obtain these exquisite pottery and linen, so that they can have the motivation to make progress.

The two potters went to discuss a deal with a group of Hu people as instructed.

Xu Chen stood by and watched for a while, then twitched his face and went to deal with his fish balls.

He threw the two halves of rotten fish he had brought back into a pottery basin, found a wooden stick as thick as an arm, and simply processed it with a stone axe and cut it into a wooden pestle, and then sat by the fire pit in the kitchen and slapped it.

"Moxie Gaga!"

Ye walked in quietly and squatted in front of him, his face full of curiosity.

"Fish Ball!"

While explaining, Xu Chen handed over the wooden pestle and made a move to continue pounding.

Ye quickly took the wooden pestle and pounded it gently.

"No, just like that, mash the fish..."

Seeing her careful and serious look, Xu Chen stood up with satisfaction to prepare other ingredients.

To make fish balls, you also need starch.

However, starch is impossible at present, so he could only find some edible wild beans from the room and put them in a pit of stone that is usually made into pieces with stones.

The stone pit was too shallow, just a natural depression, with round beans, and jumping around when they were snatched, which made him feel upset.

It would be great if there were metal knives, at least one stone mortar or stone mill could be made. This food was all due to the time of Master Tian, ​​and it was a mess.

However, in order to be able to eat this fish ball, he could only endure the grievance and slowly smash Doudou.

"Chenga, look... look!"

After half an hour of busy work, I only smashed a bowl of seemingly crushed bean noodles, which were very thick and I don’t know if it could be used. Just as Xu Chen sighed, Ye came over with a basin of mashed fish.

Xu Chen used chopsticks to pull it a few times and found that although the fish meat had already been pounded, there were a lot of fish bones and bones mixed in it. So he handed the chopsticks to Ye and asked her to slowly pick out the bone spurs inside first, and then continued to smash Doudou.

"The fish balls are delicious?"

Ye, who was picking bones inside the fish, suddenly turned around and asked.

"It should... be delicious!"

Xu Chen answered a little guilty, and he was confused.

The fish meat is fishy, ​​and the freshwater fish has extremely low salt content.

There is a saying when cooking: salted fish and bacon.

It is best to marinate freshwater fish with salt to blend the salt and fish meat. The fish tastes better. If you have not been marinated, you need to increase the proportion of the ingredients and seasonings when cooking. In short, it should not be too light, otherwise the fishy smell will be too strong and it will not be delicious.

The several areas where I prefer to eat freshwater fish are all made in this way, such as spicy fish in Sichuan and Chongqing, boiled fish, hot pot fish, chopped pepper fish in Hunan, sour soup fish in Guizhou, etc.

Nowadays, there are just salt shortages and various seasonings.

Therefore, even if the fish balls are made, I still don’t know how they taste and whether they can tolerate them.

But now that fishing nets have been invented, it is estimated that there will be a lot of fish to eat in the future.

Master said: Eat fine meat and fine meat.

Therefore, the thinner the fish, the better, so that it will not be stuck by fish bones and will taste more refreshing.

One fish ball at a time is much more comfortable than eating thorny fish meat carefully.

Therefore, in order to eat this bowl of fish balls, Xu Chen worked hard for nearly an hour and finally made half a bowl of wild bean flour that looked relatively thin. He poured the remaining coarse part into a clay pot and cooked mixed grain porridge to eat at night.

Ye Ye basically picked out the larger fish bones and bones inside the fish, but Xu Chen was still worried. After washing his hands, he carefully pinched the fish several times, and then picked out many small broken thorns from it.
Chapter completed!
