The first dish of today’s dinner is a dish of boiled fish, also known as river fish boiled in river water. It is a Chongqing dish with strong local flavor. The raw material is the famous local Jialing River grass carp, which is not only tender and plump, but also has the effect of nourishing qi and blood. The good heat gives the cooked grass carp an attractive aroma.
When this dish was placed on the table, there was a layer of hot white air floating on it, and everyone present felt the aroma of fish and pepper. The aroma of the boiled fish is extremely tempting, and it already made many people salivate at the smell. The girl next door who came later mixed in several specialty spices, making people salivate immediately. The companions picked up the chopsticks beside the bowl without caring about etiquette, and did not care about the boiling water scalding their tongues. They stuck their chopsticks into the soup that was boiling like the Jialing River water in the square pot, picked up the white and tender fish fillets and put them into their mouths. I After hesitating for a moment, he also took a piece. Not to mention, the fish fillet is fresh and tender, with a smooth texture that melts in your mouth. It tastes oily but not greasy. The red peppers in the pot are also eye-catching, which not only removes the fishy smell, but also keeps the fish fresh and tender. I reached out and picked up a chopstick. It tasted spicy but not dry, numb but not bitter, but it was really spicy. Got to be a mess.
Looking back, I couldn't help but feel that my body and mind were in a trance. The disrespect was an afterthought.
Other dishes were served one after another. Without exception, they were all home-cooked dishes with local characteristics. Everyone devoured them with great interest.
