Little Life on An American Ranch

  Chapter 261 Frightened

  Jian Heng picked two fish, both weighing about five catties, and took them in his hand to go home and cook.

   "Then you continue to watch here?" Jian Heng saw that Sun Siwei and He Ye were both staring at the entrance of the cave with great interest, and opened his mouth and said.

   Neither of them raised their eyes to see Jian Heng's interest, He Ye waved his hand: "Okay, you can go back, just call us when we have dinner."

"The fish that was photographed will be taken back when I go back. I will send someone from the kitchen later. Let's eat fish tonight." Jian Heng dropped his sentence, glanced at the entrance of the ice cave, and walked back .

In this kind of weather, the fish died soon after coming up, and after a while in the snow, they froze into ice bumps. In about 20 minutes, there were no less than 20 fish at the entrance of the cave, except for one that weighed about a catty and a half. Besides, the fish that jumped up were all more than three catties, and the two biggest ones are now in Jian Heng's hands.

"Yo yo yo!"

Jian Heng hadn't walked ten meters before he heard Sun Siwei yelling loudly. Hearing his yelling was so loud, Jian Heng turned his head curiously. He jumped up and jumped almost two meters high.

At this time, Sun Siwei smiled and hugged the big fish. Who knew that the fish was too big, so he swung his tail and slammed it on Sun Siwei's body. Siwei and Bingmian came to a butt.

  Not to mention Sun Siwei, even He Ye and Jian Heng were stunned, and then watched helplessly as the big fish fell from the sky, fell to the ice, and then kept jumping.

It's also the big fish's life. After jumping two or three times, it reached the edge of the ice hole, and then plunged its head in. Before leaving, a wave of spray came out from its tail, which directly watered He Ye and Sun Yu. Siwei has a head and a face.

   "I'm going to go, what a big fish!" He Ye didn't care about the water droplets on his body, wiped his face, and looked at the entrance of the ice cave with his head.

   "I knew we wouldn't have dug the hole so big, otherwise the fish wouldn't be able to go back, it's a pity." Sun Siwei also turned over at this time.

   "The hole is not that big, and it can't jump out!" Sun Siwei said.

  Because of the thick clothes on his body, most of the strength of the blow was taken off by the outer clothes of Big Yu. It is no problem to slap Sun Siwei down and sit down. It is impossible to get injured, and in the end it is just a tightness in the chest.

Seeing that the two of them were fine, Jian Heng opened his mouth and asked: "Be careful, and if a carp with a whole body of silver jumps out, don't you two bother to tease it? It's a kind of fish in the lake. !"

  Jian Heng was a little afraid that the silver carp would jump out all of a sudden, and then the two would pounce on it directly, and the silver carp's tail going down would probably blow them away.

   "Okay, we know, you go back and cook quickly, don't delay our play," Sun Siwei said.

   Soon the two stood next to the ice mouth, and then opened their poses to wait for the fish to jump up.

  Jian Heng looked at the two of them, and didn't know what to say, so he sighed secretly, and went into the house with the fish.

  Pooh and Instant Noodles had already left the ice with Barley and Wheat. When Jian Heng returned home, he found that the two sisters were peeling potatoes, and Pooh and Instant Noodles were lying next to the two sisters to play.

   "Are you back?" Damai asked as soon as he looked up and saw Jian Heng came back with a fish.

   "I'm back, I have enough potatoes, two or three are enough, not so many!" Jian Heng said immediately when he saw the two sisters peeling almost ten potatoes.

   "Not much, take it to the restaurant at night, Zhao said he wants to stew goose," said Barley.

   "Stewed goose?" Jian Heng was a little surprised when he heard it, not knowing where Zhao Changshan got the goose.

  But at this time, Jian Heng didn't want to ask too much, because if he didn't cook, it would be noon when he finished eating, so after carrying two fish into the kitchen, Jian Heng started to take care of the fish.

Kill the fish, remove the guts, remove the scales, and then set it off. Two five-jin fish have been divided into several fish sections, and two fish heads are reserved for cooking tofu, and the fish sections including the fish tail are marinated. Only then did Jian Heng start cooking other dishes.

   Jian Heng’s lunch menu is quite rich, such as chicken offal with leeks, stir-fried kidneys, fatty sausages, twice-cooked pork, etc.

Jian Heng listed the menu here, and Zhao Changshan also helped with simple processing, such as fatty intestines, kidney flowers, and twice-cooked pork. These are semi-finished products made by Zhao Changshan himself. The twice-cooked pork only needs to be stir-fried.

  In addition to fish, another big dish that Jian Heng prepares is deer, and what Jian Heng cooks here is the simplest venison fried with scallions.

The steps are quite simple, first cut the venison into slices, then add cooking wine, salt, egg white cornstarch, etc., slice the onion, ginger, etc. Add oil, fry the venison first, when it is half-cooked, put in the onion and other ingredients, and fry it until it is done.

  The method is simple, and the ingredients are less. What you eat is the taste of venison. And the portion is quite enough, Jian Heng's plate is loaded, and the twelve-inch plates are piled up like a hill.

The venison is ready. Jian Heng will stew the fish with two hands. One stewed fish head and one side braised fish slices. Only the simplest seasonings are added to the fish, such as salt, ginger, green onions, etc. Don't put anything, just cover the lid and simmer in the pot.

   "Wow, it smells so good!"

  He Ye walked in just waiting for the fish pot to be steaming, and was immediately attracted by the smell of fish in the kitchen. He stretched his head and went to the pot to smell it.

   "Have you added potstickers?"

  Suddenly, He Ye said this.

   "Do you want pot stickers?" Jian Heng opened his mouth and asked.

"Wouldn't it be a waste for such a delicious fish not to turn the pot stickers around the pot?" He Ye said: "If you come in a hurry, just add another round. If you don't come in a hurry, then forget it. Just make it when you eat fish tomorrow." .

  Hearing the guest's request, Jian Heng smiled and said, "What's wrong, just wait!"

Speaking of which, Jian Heng opened the kitchen cabinet, took out the noodles, and started kneading the noodles quickly. He felt that it was almost ready, so he lifted the lid of the pot and wiped the noodles around the pot with his hands. At this time, it was time for the fish to collect the juice At that time, there was a space between the noodle soup and the edge of the pot about the distance of the palm of my head, and Jian Heng just smeared all the noodles on it.

   Put the lid back on, and Jian Heng turned on another stove to start frying.

   "I'll come for the kidney, I'll fry it, just tell me where the salt is." He Ye saw that Jian Heng was busy, so he took the initiative to undertake the task of frying the kidney.

   Just like that, Jian Heng and He Ye worked together, waiting for the fish to be cooked, and the fish head tofu soup was ready, a few small stir-fries, and even a few vegetarian dishes were enough.

  He Ye took over the last two vegetarian dishes, and Jian Heng took a short rest here, only then remembered that Sun Siwei hadn't appeared so far.

   "Where is Sun Siwei, didn't you come back with you?" Jian Heng asked curiously.

  He Ye said: "I've already returned. There was still the last fish at that time. He went to hug him, so I went into the house and came to help you. Why don't you go to the living room to have a look?"

  Hearing what He Ye said, Jian Heng raised his legs and went to the living room. After looking around, he found that Sun Siwei was not in the living room. He asked about Barley and Wheat, but neither of them had seen it.

   Scratching his head, Jian Heng said: Hey, this guy went to the ice cave to shoot fish again?

  Thinking of this, Jian Heng immediately went out, preparing to call Sun Siwei back for dinner.

  Going out the door, after walking for a while, Jian Heng turned his head inadvertently, and was stunned by the scene he saw.

Sun Siwei, who thought he hadn't come back, is now climbing on a tree, or to be more precise, hanging from a tree. Because of his bloated clothes, he hangs on the tree about one and a half to two meters above the ground. It looked like rice, and at the root of the tree, there were still five or six frozen and stiff fish scattered.

   Also under this tree, Denver was looking up curiously at Sun Siwei who was holding the tree pole.

  Jian Heng watched as Sun Siwei was sliding down the tree bit by bit, and Denver's gaze followed Sun Siwei's body down bit by bit.

   When it was almost time to fall to the ground, Sun Siwei climbed up again, and Denver followed suit.

   "Save me!" Sun Siwei said.

   "Damn!" Jian Heng was stunned for a moment before reacting, and ran towards Sun Siwei with Xiao Pao, driving Denver aside.

   "Don't be afraid, this lion is also domesticated!" Jian Heng quickly supported Sun Siwei's waist.

  When Sun Siwei heard that he was raised at home, his whole body suddenly loosened, and the weight of his whole body fell on Jian Heng, and he directly took Jian Heng to sit on the snow.
