Chapter 365 How to Eat Barracuda

The child hugged the horse's neck for a long time before he noticed that there was another person beside him. However, Chen Xing guessed that it was not easy for him to contact his house. What could this child understand?Maybe they don't even understand English.

"Can you understand English? I'll leave the horse to you, and I'm leaving?"

This trip thousands of miles sent back the other's pony. Although it didn't get any benefits, at least the horse didn't cause any trouble for him.

I searched the farms that provide accommodation here on my mobile phone.

The location of the farm is not far from him, the distance is only more than 300 meters. Looking at the map, it should be built by the Tge lake. Chen Xing went from the southernmost side of the lake to the northernmost side in one day, which is considered to be half of the lake.

Although he knew that there was sea water in it, but the Norwegians called it a lake, so he could only call it that.

There are too many waters like this in Norway, and they can't just call this place what kind of sea when they see one, and the name will be messed up.

Not long after, he came to the lake and saw the farm.

There are many houses in a fenced area, but no animals or plants are seen. It is said that the farm is actually more like a homestay in the scenic area, but the decoration style is the Nordic country style.

I went in and asked, and the room was still there.

Chen Xing thought it was a youth hostel where several people slept in one room, but in fact the house was for several people to live together, but the room was for one person.

After putting down his things, Chen Xing went to the restaurant to see if there was anything to eat.

This restaurant does not provide a specific order. What you can eat today mainly depends on what dishes are available on the farm, but sandwiches with bacon and ham are always available, and even the small blackboard inside says "unlimited supply".

This canteen is also rectangular, similar to that of primary and secondary schools, but much smaller in size, only one-third of the school canteen.

The table position has not changed much.

It's seven or eight o'clock now, it's meal time, and some people who live in the farm choose what to eat here.

Most of the people who come here still eat what they bring, which are bread sandwiches, and the ones sold in the farm are not necessarily better than what they bring, and it is also economical to bring their own.

Chen Xing also leaned over to see what was going on today.

Canned herring made by the proprietress?
Uh this!

At this time, there was a sudden noise at the door. A man in a leather apron came in cheerfully with a big fish in his arms. Water was everywhere on his body. Behind him was a man holding a fishing rod.

"Boss! Boss! Make this fish for me!"

Barracuda?
Seeing that someone caught such a big fish, a group of people quickly surrounded him, and the surrounding light seemed to be a little dim for a while.

How ugly!
The pike is worthy of being called a wolffish, and the fangs in its mouth bring a huge sense of oppression.

If he was interested in human beings, he would be able to bite off a piece of flesh with these rows of teeth just by biting and tearing. His eyes were red with blood, and he looked even more ferocious.

"It really is a pike, so big? How long did it take to catch it?"

"It took two hours! Hahaha."

The man in the leather apron was very happy, and laughed heartily from time to time when chatting with everyone, telling stories about how he caught this fish, and those who came in with him would add some details.

"As soon as I dropped it into the water, I felt something was wrong. It seemed that the bait in the water had touched something, but I didn't pay attention at that time. I didn't expect this fish to come again after a while. The few times I hung it empty before was just a test , and now it bites the hook directly."

"Yeah, yeah, Brother McCormick just pulled it straight, and the fishing rod bent into a crescent moon, and this guy in the water was swimming around everywhere."

"Hahaha, needless to say, boss, can you do it?"

At this time, the boss also came out, a fat little old man in his 50s and [-]s, he looked young but his hair was half gray... Fortunately, he was not bald.

He was busy in the kitchen at the back before. This farm is almost a husband and wife shop. Whether someone wants to check in or someone wants to eat, they are busy. Chen Xing just checked in and he made it.

"It can be done, of course it can be done."

Chen Xing said quickly: "Brother, can you give me a taste too?"

This fish weighs at least ten catties, and the person who caught it has only two companions, which means that they may not finish eating this fish today, unless they don't eat anything else, let's have a whole fish feast.

But that's not enough, there will naturally be something to eat tomorrow.

"Good talk, good talk."

He finally caught a big fish today, without talking about money, he said to the boss, "What are you going to do?"

The boss thought for a while and said, "Then fry it."

He nodded, and was quite satisfied with the deep frying. When he looked back at Chen Xing, he smiled and said, "We really can't finish eating. You can eat with the three of us in a while. We are all friends who are here for hiking. Tomorrow We can still go together."

"By the way, what's your name?"

"Chen Xing."

Someone next to Chen Xing also said: "Then can we eat it? I have never eaten pike in my life. I heard it is delicious and silky."

"Yes, yes, I haven't eaten either."

"I heard that this fish is poisonous..."

The boss was about to take the fish to the backstage for processing, when he heard someone say it was poisonous, he quickly explained: "The barracuda is poisonous, but it itself is not poisonous. The poisonous parts are its internal organs and skin, just remove it. Understand but don’t scare the guests with nonsense.”

Fishing is a very profitable income in their place, the most important thing is to catch pike, if the customers are scared away, it will not work.

Chen Xing was patted on the shoulder again, and then he heard the man say, "My name is Cutler McCormick, this is my brother Max, and this little man is named Lasoga."

"Who do you call little man?"

"You, haha."

Cutler McCormick laughed and patted La Soga's head.

In fact, the two of them are about the same age, but Lasoga is only 1.6 meters tall, which is indeed a small man.

Seeing that there is not much food available in this restaurant, a few people pushed and shoved and wanted to catch a fish to improve the food. This small restaurant was suddenly empty. Chen Xing and the others found a distant Sit down near a heater.

Cutler McCormick and Max smoked, and Chen Xing didn't want to sit here and inhale second-hand smoke, so he and La Soga went to the kitchen to see how the boss made the pike.

When a chef in Huaxia is cooking, if he is not his apprentice, he is still afraid of others watching him cook behind him.

But this boss doesn't think about it at all. He cooks simple farm dishes, not to mention stealing them. These things are blatantly displayed on the Internet. You can find them if you look for them, but few people learn them.

Chen Xing was scraping fish scales when he entered.

The brush used by the boss is different from the brushes sold in the market. It is a piece of wood with several beer bottle caps lined up side by side, and then he hangs the tail of the wood on the fish, and the fish scales fly around in a short time. Just clean.

After the boss put down the wooden scraper, La Soga hurried up to pick it up.

No matter how you look at it, it is a very crude tool.

"Is this so fast for scraping fish scales?"

"I can't say it quickly, anyway, it's very convenient." The boss retracted his hand and stretched his waist, and said, "This is because the brush at our house was broken before, and we couldn't find anything to scrape fish scales temporarily, so my wife did it." Such a wooden scraper."

"learnt."

Chen Xing said that he would also try this after returning home, and it was quite fun.

But quickly shook his head.

It's useless to make it. He seldom cooks at home, or he doesn't cook it at all, so who will use this thing in the future?And he doesn't like fish,

Scrape off all the scales, then use a knife as small as a fruit knife to disembowel the fish, tear off the skin, put the knife on the fish, and then beat it hard with the wooden scraper on the knife.

The knife hit the bottom in an instant.

With another knife, divide the fish into two halves, then three halves, four halves...

Chefs in China go all over the world with a kitchen knife, professional western food chefs also have their own set of knives, but in the folk, when there are not so many types of knives in the kitchen, how to move a small knife has to use your own brain .

"What's the matter, two boys, do you want to learn?"

Chen Xing said: "Anyway, there's nothing to do, so I'll come in and see how you cook this dish."

Now the fish are all put into a basin, and the fish steaks are cut out very beautifully. After the fresh fish is cut into pieces, the muscles seem to be still moving, and the bones can be seen in the middle part, and the fish is all around.

"It's too simple, so just watch it, and ask me if you don't understand, I have been dealing with barracudas for many years."

The boss sprinkled pepper and salt on the fish steaks in the basin, and then showed the two people a big pot he had prepared before. It can be used for stewing vegetables in normal times, and it can also be filled with oil for frying at this time.

"In this oil I put onions, thyme, chives, and then we just put the fresh pike meat in."

He took the fish steaks and put them down one by one. The oil in the pot suddenly boiled, but there was no explosion in the kitchen. After the fish steaks went down, they started to bubble directly, just like a fried chicken shop putting chicken tenders or chicken steaks into the oil pan. .

"I smell the fragrance!" Chen Xing said.

Lasoga was also drooling, saying, "I can't believe this guy was swimming in the water 10 minutes ago."

Hearing what he said, Chen Xing smiled and said: "You didn't say that it was fresh, but anyone who saw it would think that this fish is extremely fresh and of a high level... I have to use your words to send a message." Circle of friends."

La Soga froze for a moment, then scratched his face.

I just sighed casually, didn't I?
At this time, the fish meat has been fried. Unlike other meat, the fish meat is very tender, and the frying temperature is high, so it must be fished out soon after the oil is added, otherwise the water in the fish meat will be squeezed out.

"Would you take a picture after I've set the plate up? My guest, if you can, please help us to promote our farm."

After the fish fillet was picked up, three pieces of fish were placed on a white plate, with a yellow Scotch chili cap in the middle. Chen Xing felt that the presence of this chili was just for decoration, because they were all golden yellow.

And then there's the sauce.

The sauce should be the most important thing in this dish, which contains diced Scotch peppers, and the heads of peppers just sit in the middle of the plate.

There is also plenty of lemon juice, onions, and Spanish peppers, which is a hot and sour mouth.

Norwegian dishes are mostly like this. Most of their research on dishes is on the presentation. No matter whether the food is good or not, the presentation must be very delicate. Even the owner of a farmhouse will have some color matching skills .

Chen Xing took two more pictures, and put together the picture of the fish boiling in the frying pan and sent it to Moments.

'Who would have thought that this fish was swimming in the sea 10 minutes ago? (figure) (figure) (figure)'

After the Moments were sent out, the mobile phone has been prompting WeChat messages.

The fans in his circle of friends and those girls he knew before are usually too embarrassed to chat with him, but as long as Chen Xing posts in his circle of friends, they are the most active, making people suspect that they will give special reminders to any of Chen Xing's activities .

"What kind of fish is this? It's so big!"

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you went to France to study. When will you come back?"

"Like, think..."

"Please post some photos of yourself, please post some photos of yourself, please post some..."

"What a big pike, Chen Xing, where are you so chic? When will you come to see me in southern Yunnan? Our tourist base is almost finished."

This set was sent by Zhou Peng.

Chen Xing wanted to reply with a series of dots, but deleted them immediately.

You can't let Zhou Peng know that you almost forgot about this matter. After you go back this time, go to the south of Yunnan to see those friends. Zhou Peng, Song Xingwen, Song Shulan, and Xiao Xiu'er... How old is she this year? With?

"I'm studying in Europe. It's not like you don't know it. I'll bring you a present when I go back this time."

"I remember you!"

Huaxia spring is full of villages, and it is still midnight at this time.

Seeing Chen Xing's reply, Zhou Peng clenched his left hand into a fist.

He avoided it!He doesn't take the initiative to answer!
Zhou Peng's heart was a little cold. He used to go back to Sichuan Province often, but many projects are coming to an end in the past six months. He basically lives here, but Chen Xing actually... forgot?

After being friends for so many years, he still doesn't know what the embarrassed Chen Xing looks like?
Must have forgotten!
No wonder I never asked the travel company any questions during the chat before.

Zhou Peng tossed and turned in a room provided by a villager, wondering what Chen Xing was doing now?
Must be eating that fish?
hateful!

…………

Norway, Borgstad Hiking Camp Site [-].

Under the night sky, full of stars.

Several young people moved the table out of the dining room and put it on the open space of the farm. They drank beer and ate the unlucky caught fish while listening to the faint sound of waves in the distance. They toasted and shouted together.

"cheers!"

In the cold night, the cold beer is splashed on the hot fish after collision, which adds some fragrance to the fish steak. (end of this chapter)
