The fish my father caught in those years.

At night, fish fell from the sky. After a good friend went to the fish pond to enjoy fishing, he was too lazy to clean up by himself. I heard that I was an expert in Chinese, so I ran around, left the fish and left. In the face of this big herring, which is nearly half a meter long and weighs nine pounds, I was very dull for a while. Fortunately, at work, my skills are still there, and I soon woke up from the shock. Three times five divided by two, peeling and deboning, I feel that there is a tendency to understand cattle.

? Speaking of my skills, I have to thank my father. Father is a fishing enthusiast. When I was a child, every weekend, my father's biggest pastime was to take a fishing rod and a fish basket and ride a bicycle to fish in a fish pond in the suburbs. I don't know if his skills are in place, or his patience is superior, or his bait is particularly delicious, and he can always return with a full load. Father's baits are all made by himself, which is said to be his exclusive secret recipe. While writing this article, I wanted to call my old father, but I gave up. Because he must have completely forgotten that his memory is declining year by year. It's just that I can still recall that every Saturday, the room is filled with a fragrance. Father stood in front of the stove, stirring flour and the like in front of the pot. The fragrance of the back will never be erased in my mind. As for the secret recipe, let it go with the passage of time.

Every time my father came back from fishing, he rested on the side and my mother began to clean up the fish. At first, I was just excited to listen to my father's story about each trophy: "Today is calm, the bait is hooked, and this stupid crucian carp is the first one"; "Oh, this big guy has a hard time with my boss. After a long stalemate, he lost his strength. He almost broke my thickest fishing rod, but he finally pulled it up. " : ..... Later, sometimes there were too many trophies, and I would help my mother clean up the fish together. Gradually, I learned the skills of killing fish. I remember that when I was in middle school, I learned to dissect fish in anatomy class, and other female students were frightened. I was the only one who was as cool as a cucumber and did it accurately and quickly, which was staggering.

Father likes fishing and enjoys the fishing process. Besides enriching the dining table at home, it also brings us a lot of joy. Once when I came back from fishing, I opened the door excitedly and saw my father standing at the door in frustration. Entering the door, he slumped in his chair and sighed, "It's really depressing today!" "It turned out that he harvested most of the fish in the basket and rode home excitedly. It is estimated that along the way, he is relishing the joy of just biting the fish and looking forward to going home and cooking a feast of big fish and big meat. As a result, the rope hanging the fish basket broke, and he didn't find it. At home, where is the shadow of the fish basket in the back seat? Father was not satisfied, so he went all the way back to look for it, but returned empty-handed. My mother and I laughed our heads off, and this joke is still circulating at the dinner table of my family party, even my little daughter knows it backwards.

Because my father loves fishing, there are basically no fish on my dining table. My father is good at cooking, from steaming to stewing, from smoked fish to fillets, and always plays tricks on us. My mother is from Sichuan, and there is an exclusive pickle jar at home for many years, and our favorite food is steamed and chopped fish heads with pickled peppers. With fresh fish heads and pickled peppers, this dish is simple. Sprinkle a little salt, ginger and wine on the washed fish head and marinate for 20 minutes. Spread with chopped pickled peppers, minced garlic and pepper. According to the size of the fish head, boil the water and steam for 15-20 minutes. Pour hot oil before taking off. You can also spread a circle of stinky tofu around the fish head and steam it together, which is beautiful and fresh and delicious.
