Chapter 254 Killing Fish
"Wow! Wow! It's jumping, it's jumping!"
"Hold it!"
"No! It's so strong! And it's slippery."
"Then cut open its stomach first."
"How can I use the knife if I can't catch him?"
…
In the kitchen, Wu Bin and Pei Jiamin were so confused by an energetic crucian carp that they held a knife in their hands for a long time without removing it.
In the end, Wu Bin put the fish back into the pool first, sighed and looked at Pei Jiamin and said, "Let's make a plan first."
"Pfft..." Pei Jiamin, who was wearing an apron, suddenly chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?" Wu Bin asked, wiping the water splashed by the fish tail on his head.
"Hahaha, I just found out that there are things you are not good at." Pei Jiamin laughed a few more times as she spoke, "You haven't killed a fish before?"
Wu Bin nodded: "Well, usually when my mother kills chickens and fish, I will turn away or just walk away."
"Me too!" Pei Jiamin immediately nodded in sympathy.
Wu Bin: "Why don't you let my mother give you some guidance?"
"Ah!?" Pei Jiamin immediately exclaimed.
Just now when Wu Bin told his mother that he came here just to practice killing fish, his mother's expression was already strange. If he now invites her to teach in person...
‘God knows where Auntie is going to go! ’
"Isn't it good? If my mother comes to teach me, it will be better than us two laymen messing around, right?" Wu Bin couldn't understand why Pei Jiamin was yelling.
Pei Jiamin rubbed her hands and whispered, "I just don't think it's good to bother Auntie randomly."
"Oh..." Wu Bin thought for a while, "How about I tell my mother the whole story? She will be happy to help you after she understands." After that, he added: "Oh, by the way, my mother's words should be correct. It's still very tight when it's tight, so you don't have to worry about her telling her."
After hearing this, Pei Jiamin glanced at the energetic crucian carp in the pool, and thought for a moment that it would be easier to explain the matter to her aunt than let her think blindly, so she nodded and whispered, "Then... then I'll listen to you. "
After Wu Bin took some time to tell his mother the whole story, Jin Yunxia clapped her hands and said, "No problem, I'll take care of it!"
Returning to the kitchen again, Jin Yunxia looked at Pei Jiamin and said with a smile: "Killing fish is actually very simple. Auntie will do it first to show you."
"Sorry to trouble you, auntie." Pei Jiamin immediately thanked Jin Yunxia.
"No trouble, no trouble." Jin Yunxia said as she walked to the water tank and picked up the lively crucian carp. She turned around and looked at Pei Jiamin: "As for you, you can't bear to take the knife to begin with, and this fish is trying so hard. Jumping is even more difficult, so Auntie will teach you..."
After Jin Yunxia finished speaking, she first pressed the fish on the chopping board, and then pulled out a bone chopping knife from the knife holder next to it.
"Watch it." After Jin Yunxia finished speaking, she raised the bone-chopping knife and hit the crucian carp on the head with the back of the knife.
"Boom!"
With a muffled sound, Wu Bin and Pei Jiamin took a step back without realizing it and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Look, this way it won't jump around." Jin Yunxia picked up the crucian carp that had fainted to Rome and said with a smile.
"Ah... Auntie is so awesome." Pei Jiamin forced a smile and said.
"Hahaha, what's so awesome about this?" After saying this, Jin Yunxia waved to Pei Jiamin, "Come on, come closer, Auntie will teach you how to kill fish."
After hearing this, Pei Jiamin took a deep breath, nodded, and walked to Jin Yunxia's side.
Remove fish fins, scrape fish scales, remove fish gills...
After a basic fish killing operation, Jin Yunxia looked at Pei Jiamin and said, "Look, here, you can cut from the top of the head or from the belly, but it will be more difficult to cut from the head because there are bones. , and if you cut it from the belly of the fish, there is no other disadvantage except that it is inconvenient to braise the whole fish."
Jin Yunxia waved the kitchen knife again and again while explaining to Pei Jiamin.
"Oh, that's it." Pei Jiamin nodded.
"How about you try it?" Jin Yunxia handed the kitchen knife to Pei Jiamin and asked.
"Okay!" Pei Jiamin nodded vigorously and took the kitchen knife.
Although the hand holding the knife was trembling slightly, Pei Jiamin finally succeeded in slowly cutting open the crucian carp along its belly after counting three times in her heart.
"Yes... yes, that's it. You did a good job." Jin Yunxia also continued to encourage and praise.
Soon, Pei Jiamin slowly cut out the internal organs in the entire fish belly and placed them in a row on the chopping board.
"Huh..." Pei Jiamin breathed out and wiped the fine sweat on her forehead.
"Not bad, not bad, I learn quickly." Jin Yunxia nodded affirmatively.
"Thank you, aunt."
"Come on, move on to number two."
At this moment, Wu Bin suddenly walked into the kitchen with a bucket full of fish.
When Jin Yunxia saw it, she immediately patted Wu Bin on the shoulder and said, "This little girl just killed one, why don't you let me rest for a while?"
"Oh..." Wu Bin nodded, then looked at Pei Jiamin and asked, "Would you like to take a rest?"
Pei Jiamin waved her hand: "No, I'm just here to practice. I should seize the time."
"Well, let's continue." Wu Bin said and poured all the fish in the bucket into the pool.
Jin Yunxia rolled her eyes at her son helplessly, then looked at Pei Jiamin and said with concern: "Then be careful, don't cut your hands."
"Okay, auntie." Pei Jiamin agreed and grabbed a crucian carp from the bucket.
…
After practicing all afternoon, Wu Bin was a little surprised that although Pei Jiamin's expression was always very nervous, her knife skills were extremely delicate and she could quickly cut out fish intestines, fish floats, fish livers, and even fishy things on the belly of the fish. The black film of flavor is completely separated.
"Huh..." After completing another dissection, Pei Jiamin let out a long breath, looked at the dozen fish in the frame and said to Wu Bin, "What should we do with these fish?"
Wu Bin: "Just eat it, what else can I do?"
"Ah? How long will it take to eat?" Pei Jiamin exclaimed.
"Braised, steamed, grilled, souped, it's all done in a few meals." Wu Bin clapped his fingers to arrange all the fish.
"Then I'll bring the fish over tomorrow, otherwise..."
"Why are you bringing fish tomorrow?" Wu Bin interrupted Pei Jiamin and asked.
Pei Jiamin: "Practice."
"No, no, no, once this bucket of fish kills your first stage of practice, it will be completed." Wu Bin waved his hand.
"So fast?" Pei Jiamin was surprised when she looked at the only two fish left in the bucket.
"Killing fish just lets you get used to using a knife and the smell of blood. The next step is the practice."
"That's it..." After Pei Jiamin finished speaking, she looked at the chickens in the cages and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
PS: I finished the work at the beginning of the month, and will start updating steadily~
