Chapter 18 Baked Fish Cakes

The appointed day will come soon.He Nuo still got up early in the morning, and slowly put on his clothes.After a spring rain, the temperature gradually picked up.He Nuo gave up his bulky winter coat and picked out a dark green nylon coach jacket for himself.

The backpack is full of today's snacks: fried small dried fish.After the small fish are dried in oil, they are fried with chili and perilla to dry out the water, one bite at a time, and the head and bones are chewed together. It is fragrant and tough, and it is delicious in the world.

If the eldest brother knew that I hadn't stayed in bed for two consecutive days, he would be surprised, he thought happily, and grabbed a handful of dried fish and stuffed it into his mouth.

Although he Nuo thought he had acted very quickly, when he arrived at Granny Miao's house, Granny Miao had already prepared the ingredients needed to bake fish cakes.He promised that he couldn't help, and felt very ashamed.But Granny Miao invited him to make grilled fish cakes together.

"There is nothing more delicious than cooking by yourself." Granny Miao said with a smile.

He Nuo happily agreed.He followed Granny Miao into the kitchen, lowered his head quietly, and secretly wiped off the dried fish crumbs from the corner of his mouth.

Grilled fish cakes don't look complicated, just add flour to the minced fish, season them, and bake them in the oven.But watching Granny Miao make a dish by herself, he felt overwhelmed.

Contrary to his imagination, the preparation of grilled fish cakes is very detailed and tedious, requiring great patience.Granny Miao's fish cakes use fresh squid with more meat and less thorns, and each fish weighs three catties.Peel the skin of the fish, scrape the meat off with a spoon, and chop it finely with a knife to make a sticky fish paste.Ginger is chopped, pounded with a pestle and mortar, squeezed out the juice, filtered, mixed with pepper, salt, sugar and other seasonings, and added to the thick chicken soup boiled in a large pot.Mix the minced fish for seasoning, and then add a certain proportion of sweet potato powder.Sweet potato flour is thicker than ordinary raw flour, and it is used to reconcile the minced fish, which will increase the springy and tender taste.

"The final meat needs to be added with a secret recipe." Granny Miao said with a smile, with a mysterious and playful look on her face.

His eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "I know, the secret is to add love, right!"

Granny Miao leaned forward and backward with a smile.Shaking her head slowly, she told Nuo that another secret is to add diced pork fat to the minced fish.Fat meat can make the taste of minced fish more fragrant and moist.

This was something he hadn't thought of.It turns out that making fish is not only about putting fish, but also about putting in many unexpected ingredients.The first person to discover this combination must be a genius.However, it is not easy to inherit this delicacy.He Nuo silently read the notes in his heart while rubbing his face nervously.Sure enough, the delicacy of the world needs to pay a huge price.

Granny Miao's grilled fish cakes are almost all handmade.As she got older, her strength became weaker, so the strenuous work of stomping the minced fish was left to him.

He Nuo was full of confidence at first, you know, he smashed a hundred and eighty shells almost every day, his hand strength must be good, this little bit of life is no problem.

After a quarter of an hour passed, he cried and swallowed his bold words and ambitions back into his stomach.

It's so hard to stomp the minced fish.Every inch of fish must be finely ground with the back of a knife until the fish has a gelatinous texture and sticks continuously.After stamping a plate of fish, he could barely lift his hands, shaking so badly that he couldn't even hold the water glass.

Granny Miao didn't laugh at him, but gently massaged his arm for Nuo.This made him feel embarrassed.He is a young otter, and he should do some work.

After such a long time, in the afternoon, the first pot of grilled fish cakes was released.

Granny Miao cut off a small piece of fresh, hot fish cake and handed it to Ta Nuo to taste.Fish cakes can be eaten without any secondary processing.The freshness, sweetness and seasoning of the fish itself are perfectly integrated, and the mouth is springy, tender and juicy.He Nuo only took a sip, and the whole otter was so happy that he wanted to pat his paw.The smell of grilled fish cakes reminded him of summer rivers, plump clams, and pleasant childhood.He really wanted to just plunge into the cool and clear river water, let the water flow over his body, and swim around freely.

All the hard work is worth it.

He Nuo restrained himself and only ate half of the plate.Fortunately, Granny Miao prepared a lot, and she operated skillfully in the kitchen. Although her strength and physical strength could not fully keep up, her skills remained the same as before.Soon, the second and third pots of grilled fish cakes were brought out, exuding a charming aroma.

At this moment, there was a knock on Granny Miao's door.

There are guests.

He Nuo rushed to open the door.It was a young and strange girl who came.She seems to have poor eyesight, squinting unconsciously when looking at people, and a pair of thick black-rimmed glasses on the high bridge of her nose.

"Hello." He Nuo greeted her with a nod.

Although the girl did not reveal her identity, he still recognized the smell on her body.Although the goblins after cultivating human beings are completely different in form from before, some distinctive features will be retained to some extent.Even if they succeed in cultivation, they cannot change or decide their appearance at will. This is one of the biggest misunderstandings about human beings.

Miss Cat nodded, but did not speak.

He Nuo turned around and told Granny Miao that it was his friend who wanted to eat grilled fish cakes, and then let the door open.Miss Cat came in, her right foot was a little limp, and she walked unsteadily.

Granny Miao came out of the kitchen with the last plate of grilled fish cakes.She raised her eyes and saw Miss Cat, she lost her mind for a moment.

For a while, no one spoke.He Nuo wasn't sure what Granny Miao was thinking, but saw her smile again.

"The grilled fish cake is ready," Granny Miao said with a smile, her eyebrows and eyes curved, "It's delicious, please sit down."

Miss Cat was not polite at all, she went straight to the dining table and sat down at her favorite seat.

Granny Miao prepared a translucent white porcelain bowl for Miss Cat, which contained a small grilled fish cake.The fish cakes are cut into the shape of small fish with molds, and they are steaming.

Miss Cat raised her chopsticks and carefully picked up the fish cake and ate it.Her movements were not very skilled, and the fish cake slipped from the chopsticks several times.She kept silent, and finally picked it up, took a bite, and chewed carefully.

"Is it delicious?" Granny Miao asked softly.

Miss Cat nodded, "Delicious."

Granny Miao laughed, the corners of her eyes were wrinkled, like an old tree. "That's good," she said softly.

Miss Cat's eyes were red.He Nuo thought, maybe this is the first time that the mother-in-law learned from Miss Cat about her evaluation of grilled fish cakes.It's great to taste such delicious grilled fish cakes.
