Chapter 156 Clearing inventory?
It was not yet 5 o'clock when I walked out of the hospital. It was a bit early to go back for dinner. The clams were already dealt with, so I might as well go catch some freshwater fish and make soup!
Lin Xia immediately ran to the secret park in the center of the town, where there was a small lake where she could sometimes catch different types of fish.
The rain is still falling and the weather is still a bit stuffy. This condition should be very suitable for fishing.
Sure enough, within a minute after the fishing rod was thrown out, a fish took the bait. Lin Xia excitedly lifted the rod - it was a 7-centimeter-long fish.
She forgot to charge the fishing rod, and what she caught was a small fish. Lin Xia threw the fish back into the lake and charged the rod again, but not to the maximum because she had no shortage of big fish. She just wanted to catch a few medium-sized fish suitable for making soup.
So I accumulated level 3 strength. This level belongs to the silver-level fishing rod, which is the easiest to catch medium-sized fish.
Usually, an ordinary level 1 fishing rod without charging can only catch small fish; a level 2 charging rod (copper fishing rod) can catch both small and medium-sized fish; a level 3 charging rod (silver fishing rod) has the most medium-sized fish and can occasionally catch small or big fish; a level 4 charging rod (gold fishing rod) has both medium-sized and big fish; a level 5 charging rod (mithril fishing rod) has the most big fish and can occasionally catch medium-sized fish.
Of course, you will occasionally catch various debris during fishing, such as empty bottles, branches, boots, etc. These are not picky about the level of fishing rods, and we treat them all equally.
Maybe it was because the weather was suitable, or maybe it was because not many people usually come to fish in this small lake. In less than an hour, Lin Xia caught 6 medium-sized fish, each weighing about 5 kilograms. She also caught a few small fish weighing about 1 kilogram, which she also kept.
After returning home, Lin Xia went to the bathroom to take a shower. Going out on a rainy day, although with complete rain gear, still made people feel sticky and uncomfortable. It was more comfortable to take a hot shower.
After cleaning up, Lin Xia started to cook dinner. After listening to what Dot said about many people suffering from sore throats recently, Lin Xia didn't dare to eat too much spicy food. So she made some fish soup noodles in the evening. It was simple and soupy, and it was comfortable to eat in rainy weather!
Well, seafood is cool in nature, so it is suitable to eat it in autumn. Take out the lobsters and crabs in the refrigerator, wash and chop them, steam them with mashed garlic, stir-fry them with spicy sauce, and use the shrimp heads to boil the shrimp oil to make seafood and vegetable porridge...
After a busy meal, Lin Xia cleaned out the crabs, lobsters, etc. in the refrigerator, cooked them all into various dishes, and put them into the watch space. She also steamed a large pot of rice and divided it into portions for easy access at any time.
In addition, Lin Xia got a new recipe for a dish from the residents of the town, which is udon noodles. It seems that autumn is the season for eating udon noodles. Lin Xia took a look and found that most of the ingredients for udon noodles are autumn ingredients, such as various mushrooms, carrots, green peppers, etc. In addition, you can add bamboo shoots and cabbage in spring, and carrots in summer as side dishes.
Since the weather is getting colder, it would be a great pleasure to eat hot noodles in cold weather. How can you eat noodles without various meatballs?
Lin Xia particularly likes to eat fish balls. Note that it is fish balls, not fish balls. Lin Xia particularly dislikes the frozen balls sold outside in the past. The freshly made tender fish balls in the vegetable market have a smooth, tender and fragrant taste. Even the soup made with only vegetables is particularly delicious.
Looking at the few large fish left in the refrigerator, Lin Xia prepared to cut them all. Since there were all kinds of kitchen utensils in the kitchen, it would be very convenient to cook.
So, Lin Xia started working again, selected two big fish, removed the fish meat and put it into a blender to grind it into fish paste. The remaining fish bones can be made into smoked fish, which is also delicious.
Add a little salt, onion and ginger water, egg white and other seasonings to the minced fish paste. No other seasonings are needed as the fish is already very fresh. Then stir the seasoned fish paste at a constant speed in one direction until it becomes viscous and increases in volume. This process is done by a special machine in the kitchen.
After the fish paste is mixed, it needs to be made into balls and put into water heated over low heat, and slowly cook the fish balls until solidified.
In order to bring out the best flavor, Lin Xia also tested the taste several times. She couldn't just rashly make a large pot of dish with a bad taste, that would be a waste.
After debugging it five or six times, Lin Xia found the best recipe. After entering the kitchen operation process, she just had to wait for the fish balls to be finished.
The two big fish were enough to make a big bucket of fish balls with soup. Lin Xia divided them into more than 50 portions in soup bowls. They can be eaten directly or processed and used for cooking, or added to other side dishes to make soup. It is very convenient.
While cooking the fish balls, Lin Xia processed the remaining fish bones with meat and made slightly sweet smoked fish, which she also divided into more than 20 portions. This can be eaten as a snack or as a side dish with wine.
Last time when I was learning about udon noodles, I also heard people talking about tempura. What is tempura? Simply put, anything wrapped in batter and fried is called tempura, whether it is meat, fish, shrimp, or vegetables, as long as they are wrapped in batter and fried, they are all the same.
Lin Xia took out the octopus she caught last time and started to clean it up. She wanted to eat octopus balls and fried octopus with soy sauce, hehe...
The first rainy night in autumn was destined to be an extraordinary night. Lin Xia’s kitchen cleared out a lot of things and then filled them with a lot of things again. . . . .
"It will be a sunny day tomorrow, and everyone can celebrate the Harvest Festival happily..." Lin Xia was eating fish balls and wontons while watching TV. It will finally not rain tomorrow. Think about it, if it rains tomorrow, the Harvest Festival probably cannot be held, after all, it is held in the square.
After breakfast, Lin Xia put on her raincoat. Today, three crops can be harvested, namely carrots, green peppers and melon seeds. Lin Xia will harvest one acre of each for her own consumption and sell the rest. After shipping today, spinach seeds should be available for sale in the grocery store tomorrow.
Oh, no, tomorrow is the Harvest Festival and all the shops in the town are closed. Let's do it the day after tomorrow.
As soon as she went out, she ran into the mayor who was holding a huge umbrella. Not only was he holding an umbrella, he was also wearing a raincoat that looked like an ancient earl's dress. Lin Xia, who was about to greet the mayor, suddenly said, "Mayor, you are wearing a raincoat, why are you holding an umbrella?"
Mayor: "...I'm afraid my raincoat will get wet."
"But...isn't a raincoat meant to keep out the rain?"
"Ah~ I didn't react for a moment. This raincoat is so gorgeous. I was always afraid it would get wet."
Lin Xia: "Oh, that's fine, you have an umbrella anyway."
Mayor: "Let's not talk about this anymore, Lin Xia, I'm here to invite you to participate in tomorrow's harvest festival. Starting at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, the square will hold the annual harvest festival. Everyone will bring a piece of food. At that time, a big pot will be set up in the square, and Dart will be in charge of cooking the food that everyone brought. It will be very lively, so remember to come and participate!"
"Okay, Mayor, but are there any requirements for the ingredients that each person brings?"
"As long as it's not poisonous, haha~ By the way, I have to emphasize this issue to Jeff's family. Karen in his family often puts some ingenious things in it. I'll leave first. Remember to come early tomorrow!"
"Okay, Mayor, take care~" After watching the mayor leave, Lin Xia went to check on her crops.
Today, except for the ones who are watering the plants, all the dwarfs have returned to work, so you don’t have to work too hard today!
