Li Xia's technique was neat, and it only took three minutes to scrape the fish scales and remove the internal organs.

Next, it’s time to test the chef’s profound knife skills.

Li Xia hadn't cooked this dish for a long time, so he turned on the serious mode and focused on nothing else.

He took the knife, removed the fish head, and then cut the knife from the fish body, moving the knife blade close to the fish bones until it reached the tail of the fish, and picked out the entire fish meat.

But be careful not to cut off the end of the fish tail.

The other side of the fish body is also operated in the same way, removing the fish bones and retaining the skin.

The two cut pieces of fish body must be connected together.

Clean the fish and you come to the crucial step.

At this time, Lin Xiaomei had finished the porridge. When she saw Li Xia working on the stove, she stood up and walked over to take a look.

At this sight, she was dumbfounded!

I saw.

Li Xia cut the two pieces of fish with a knife, inserted the knife diagonally from the inside of the fish, and cut into the skin without cutting it off.

Then cut the knife vertically from the other side...

Li Xia repeatedly swung his arm, and with precise knife skills, he changed the fish meat into a"913" scale shape.

Lin Xiaomei's mouth also gradually opened wide, forming an O shape.

She has seen great chefs cooking, and their knife skills are very good.

But now looking at Li Xia's knife skills, they are even better.

She asked:"Brother-in-law, are you going to make... fish?!"

Lin Xiaomei looked at the fish. It was a mandarin fish.

Li Xia nodded:"Squirrel Mandarin Fish"

"Your sister and two little ones have been eating steamed buns and fried rice every meal these days. I'm going to cook a fish, sweet and sour pork loin, and cabbage balls to give them a change of taste."

Lin Xiaomei's eyes suddenly widened.

Every time Li Xia mentioned a dish, she swallowed.

Just hearing the name, she felt it was delicious!

It's terrible!

"But brother-in-law, I’m already full.……"

Lin Xiaomei realized later and discovered a very serious problem.

She just ate five steamed buns and drank a bowl of preserved egg porridge, so she was almost full!

Then... Li Xia started to cook delicious dishes! this!!

"Brother-in-law, did you do this on purpose?

Li Xia shook his head:"No, I did it on purpose.""

Lin Xiaomei took two steps back, clutching her chest. She already had internal injuries.

To make squirrel mandarin fish delicious, first of all, the ingredients must be fresh, preferably freshly picked and killed, to ensure the best taste of the dish.

Secondly, it requires superb cooking Technique.

Li Xia heats the pan and heats the oil. When the oil temperature rises, evenly coat the fish with starch.

The oil temperature gradually rises.

Li Xia lifts the head and tail of the fish and sees the right time to put it in the pan. Wait until the oil temperature is 60% hot. , first fry the fish belly in a pan, and then immerse the whole fish in hot oil. It was the first time Lin Xiaomei saw the squirrel mandarin fish cooked up close and she was fascinated by it.

She used to work in the library and happened to read about it in a book Information about the dish"Squirrel Mandarin Fish".

Legend has it that Emperor Long went to the south of the Yangtze River and ate incognito at the Songhelou Restaurant in Suzhou City. The chef made a dish using carp. The fish was fried and resembled a rat in shape, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was sweet and sour, and Emperor Qianlong was very satisfied after eating it. This dish became famous in Sioux City.

At this moment, Lin Xiaomei could see the real version of"Squirrel Mandarin Fish" and was excited.

In the pot, the fish gradually became crispy and golden.

Just like coral.

After the mandarin fish was fried, Li Xia took it out and set it aside for later use.

Next, he started to make the sauce.

The sauce is the key to the sweet and sour taste of the squirrel mandarin fish.

Li Xia put minced garlic, The proportion of sugar, vinegar, ketchup... is very important.

Ketchup is a brand of Great Wall and can be bought at supply and marketing cooperatives.

These days, ordinary people rarely use ketchup in cooking at home.

However, Li Xia is different. So when he went to buy ingredients before, he saw tomato sauce on sale, so he bought some for later use.

Li Xia put the prepared sauce into the oil pan and fried it at high temperature.

Let the flavors of the seasoning be fully integrated into one.

Wait until The color of the sauce was translucent. Li Xia poured it on the fish.

Lin Xiaomei on the side was already going crazy. This shape, this color, this damn rich aroma!

It was absolutely delicious!

But her... belly was very full!

This But what to do?

Outside the kitchen.

Two milk dumplings were playing games and having a lot of fun.

They were almost tired and wanted to sit down and take a rest when they smelled the aroma wafting from the kitchen.

"Wow~! It smells so good~!"

The two milk dumplings swallowed their saliva and ran towards the kitchen on their short legs.

And this time.

Lin Xiaomei walked out.

She gritted her teeth. She must eat the squirrel and mandarin fish.

What should I do now that I’m full?

There is a way, exercise!

Digest the food in your belly!

Lin Xiaomei caught two milk dumplings

"Aunt~! Give in! We're going into the kitchen~!"

"Uncle Ma~! Daddy is making delicious food~! Xiangxiang~! Nuannuan wants to go see it~!"

Lin Xiaomei blocked the door with her hands on her hips.

"What’s there to see? The food is being cooked!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Come, aunt will play games with you!"

The two milk dumplings blinked their big eyes and said in a milky voice: Duoduo

:"But~! We've already played~!"

Nuannuan:"Nuannuan doesn't want to play anymore~! I'm tired.~!"

Duoduo:"We don't want to play anymore~! We want to watch dad cook.~!"

Nuan Nuan:"We are going to find Daddy.~!"

Lin Xiaomei:"No~! I have to play~!"

"Come! Let's play eagle and catch chicks! Play hide and seek again! And play hopscotch!"

Duoduo:"……"

Nuannuan:"……"

The two little guys wanted to go to Chu Mengxi for help, but they were already held abducted by Lin Xiaomei's arm...........

The two little guys were pulled by Lin Xiaomei and forced to open for an hour.

At the end, the three people sat on the small bench, breathing heavily and exhausted.

Chu Mengxi looked at the three people and shook her head.

"Why are you playing so crazy? Look how sweaty you are."

Chu Mengxi brought a dry towel and wiped the sweat of the three people.

In the kitchen,

Li Xia had already prepared three dishes and one soup.

"Wife, Xiaomei, please help with the dishes. We are having dinner. Lin

Xiaomei, who was originally paralyzed, suddenly became energetic when she heard the word"eat".

She stood up and howled:"Here you go, brother-in-law!""

The food was brought to the table.

Squirrel mandarin fish, sweet and sour pork loin, cabbage meatballs, seaweed and egg drop soup.

All the dishes were delicious, delicious and full of flavor.

Two milk dumplings were grabbing the table and smelling the aroma of the dishes. The little mouth keeps exclaiming

"Dad~! The food is so fragrant~!"

"Daddy~! So disgusting~! Nuan Nuan loves food made by daddy the most.~!"

The two milk dumplings ran over and hung on Li Xia's legs, clinging to them for a while.

Li Xia pinched the two little guys' chubby little faces and said with a smile:

"Go wash your hands quickly, let's have dinner."

The two little guys cheered and washed their hands obediently.

Li Xia turned to Lin Xiaomei and said:

"Xiaomei, do you still want to eat?"

"eat! Must eat!"

Lin Xiaomei hasn't tasted 0.3 Li Xia's craftsmanship, but judging from how she makes steamed buns and fried rice, Li Xia's local cuisine is definitely delicious.

Chu Mengxi served rice to several people

"Xiaomei, do you use a big bowl for a small one?"

Beauty Lin Xiao has a big appetite, Chu Mengxi has seen it before.

When eating fried rice at noon, she uses a big bowl, which is a full kilogram or three ounces of fried rice, and she still eats it all. She has a great appetite.

Lin Xiaomei thought about it for a moment , said:"I've already eaten the steamed buns, so just use a small bowl. Sister, I'll serve them myself. You go and sit down first.""

Lin Xiaomei took the rice spoon from Chu Mengxi's hand and filled the rice herself.

Several people sat down.

Lin Xiaomei came over with a small bowl of rice.

Chu Mengxi:"……"

Li Xia:"……"

Is this the small bowl you were talking about?

Although Lin Xiaomei served the rice in a small bowl, the height was a bit scary!

The top of the rice is five or six centimeters above the mouth of the bowl!

Li Xia glanced at Lin Xiaomei and said,"Are you going to launch a rocket?"
