The days of being a cat in Japan

When the sun went down, this temporary leisure activity of the Fujimoto family also came to an end.

Although they didn't receive much goods, everyone had a good time.

Of course, the happiest one was Little Fatty, because this time when everyone went fishing together, he was the one who caught the most.

Of the dozen or so fish and a basket of shrimp that Mr. Fujimoto brought home, eight or nine were contributed by Kenta.

This kid's luck today is indeed good, even Mr. Ishikawa, who often comes to fish, doesn't receive as much as he does.

Although the fish caught by Mrs. Jian were not very big, it didn't affect his high spirits.

Because the raccoon cat just wanted to play, the big black cat didn't go down to the pond to harm those fishes and shrimps, but just grabbed one for it to play with, then squatted aside and closed its eyes to rest.

However, Cihuamao's toys quickly changed from one to two, because Tuanzi, who had learned his father's latest hunting method, also sent his spoils to his father soon after.

The four on the lady's side caught a total of one fish, because they were so busy chatting that no one looked at their fishing rods.

Even if a fish is hooked and the bell on the fishing line rings, these few people just ignore it.

The only carp that was caught was pulled ashore because it was too greedy and the hook was too tight to break free.

The unlucky carp bit Junko's fishing rod. Junko, who was listening to music, didn't intend to pay attention to it. Anyway, if she didn't lift the rod, it wouldn't be long before the biting fish would break free and swim away.

However, the hook was too deep for this fish, and he couldn’t get rid of it no matter how he swung it. Finally, Junko Fujimoto, who was annoyed by the sound of bells and bells on the fishing line, got up and pulled this carp with too bad idea ashore.

But such a pull gave everyone a pleasant surprise.

That unlucky fish was actually the heaviest among the fish everyone caught this time.

A large carp weighs more than four catties, so there is no need to worry about the main course tonight.

With a basket of fish and shrimp, everyone in the Fujimoto family left the fishing center contentedly.

On the way back, Mrs. Rie and Grandma Fujimoto, who are the chefs of the family, have already begun to figure out what meals to make with these things.

"Well, those river prawns can be deep-fried for everyone to eat after cleaning. Two silver carp stewed tofu soup is a good choice. Carp has a strong fishy smell, and steaming is not very good. I recently learned about Chinese cuisine braised in soy sauce on a TV program. When we pass by the supermarket, let’s go buy some ingredients and try it out today. If it’s done well, you two, Rie and Etsuko, can follow along and make it for everyone in the future.” With a family of more than [-] years This is what Grandma Fujimoto, who has cooking experience, said.

In this way, the most important food has been provided, and the only thing that has not been arranged is the few small miscellaneous fish that Mrs. Jian caught.

Those miscellaneous fish are mainly small crucian carp and small sweetfish, which are too small and have many spines, so they have no edible value.

But the parents couldn't use the things the children caught. Grandma Fujimoto thought about it before saying: "Or fry those little things in oil, it's the easiest way."

Unexpectedly, the little fat man said, "Grandma, you don't have to worry about my little fish. The manual at home uses a microwave oven to make grilled fish. It's convenient and simple. I'll just read it once. I'll make it for you when I go back." eat."

The others looked at each other when they heard the words, and they couldn't hide the deep suspicion in their eyes. However, in order not to dampen the enthusiasm of the child, they finally agreed to the little fat man's proposal.

With the condiments newly bought from the supermarket, the Fujimoto family returned to their apartment in the city.

Then this time, the gentlemen were sitting in the living room chatting, and the ladies were busy in the kitchen.

There were two senior housewives present, so it was no problem to clean up the fish. Soon the fish and shrimp brought back were cleaned up one by one according to the requirements of the 'chefs'.

Afterwards, those fish and shrimps were taken away by Grandma Fujimoto and Ms. Etsuko, and they began to prepare according to the corresponding dishes.

And Mrs. Fujimoto handed over the cleaned up small miscellaneous fish to her youngest son with complicated emotions.

Compared to the panic of the parents, the little fat man's performance was much more relaxed.

I saw him dragging the fish plate with one hand, and holding the microwave ingredient manual in the other, following the above steps one by one.

The raccoon cat lying not far away watched the little fat man dry the bodies of the fish, smear pepper and sea salt on them, drizzle with cooking oil, and sprinkle various seasonings. The plate of grilled fish was sent into the microwave.

Cihuamao nodded slightly when he saw this, although he didn't know how it tasted, but judging by his posture, the little fat man did a good job.

Following the time stated in the microwave manual, after baking on high heat for 3 minutes, Kenta, wearing gloves, took the fish dishes out of the microwave oven, turned them over one by one, and sent them back to continue baking on high heat.

After another 3 minutes, the little fat man's microwave grilled fish is ready.

Who of the adults in the family would have thought that it would be Jiantai who cooked the dishes for the first time?

But looking at the grilled fish that looked good in the dish, everyone felt that his dish seemed to be pretty good.

When it was time for dinner, the little fat man found that the small miscellaneous fish he had caught were just enough for his family to share one by one.

Xiao Jiantai, who was very satisfied with this, distributed the fruits of his labor today to everyone with amused eyes.

Of course, because of the difference in the fish, this kid actually kept an eye out and kept the two most fleshy sweetfish for the end, one for his grandma and the other for his beloved cat.

When giving the catfish, Jiantai looked at his parents with some guilt, and said to himself that if there are two more, it must be one for each of you, but there is only one left, and there is no way to evenly give it to the Great Sage.

However, when he returned to his seat, he realized that the little sweetfish that was originally given to grandma had actually appeared on his plate.

The little fat man looked up at grandma, only to find that grandma was also looking at him.

It turns out that not only he loves grandma, but grandma loves grandson very much, so the little sweetfish, which looks thick at first glance, was picked up by Grandma Fujimoto to her grandson.

Everyone at the dining table watched this scene with a smile. Although no one said anything, the dinner of the Fujimoto family began in such a warm atmosphere.

The raccoon cat that was assigned to the fat fish happily gnawed on the fish meat on its own plate. Compared with carp and crucian carp, this kind of fish bone called sweetfish in Japan is much less.

But even so, the cihuamao is careful when it eats, for fear of being stabbed accidentally.

I have to say that the little fat man is still very talented as a chef. This kind of fried fish made according to the recipe is actually delicious.

In order to take care of the cat's taste, all the seasonings on the grilled fish have been removed quickly, even the fish skin with the strongest smell was torn off by the little fat man, leaving only the light white meat for the cat to eat.

But even so, the grilled and fragrant fish meat is still very popular with Lihuamao.

When it was happily scraping off the fish meat bit by bit with the small thorn on its tongue, it suddenly felt that something was wrong when eating the fish meat.

Hey, why does the fish scraped off later taste different from the previous ones?

The front one is fragrant, warm, and bouncy, but why is the back one slippery and smells fishy?

The civet cat, who was very surprised by this, stopped eating and looked down carefully, only to find that the meat inside the small sweetfish, which was attached to the fish bone, was not cooked through.

! ! ! ! ! !

Meow, is this the case?Little Fatty, did he make a mistake?

Then he raised his head and looked at the other people who were eating at the dining table. Their expressions were normal, and there seemed to be nothing unusual.

So only one cat can eat raw fish?

Um, no, the little fat man has a very suspicious expression on his own.

I saw Jiantai holding the chopsticks and looking at the grilled fish on his plate, with a hesitant expression on his face, as if he didn't know whether he should eat it or not.

Apparently, like the raccoon cat under the table, this guy also ate an undercooked grilled fish.

After confirming this, Cihuamao looked at the other people at the table and found that their expressions were all normal, so the only ones who ate the raw fish were themselves and the little fat man?

Thinking of this, the raccoon cat raised its head and carefully observed everyone's plates, and then it found that only Jiantai and his grilled fish seemed to be the kind of small sweetfish with thick meat and few thorns. They are all crucian carp with big shell and small body.

It's no wonder that the meat of the small sweetfish is much thicker than that of crucian carp in this season. If the two kinds of fish are roasted at the same temperature for the same time, it is no wonder that the inside of the sweetfish is cooked.

Just when Cihuamao was thinking this way, it found that the little fat man actually looked down at him.

The two master pets just looked at each other, and then looked down at their own dinner plates at the same time. When they raised their heads, Cihuamao found that the little fat man didn't hesitate anymore, and started to lower his head to eat.

Without thinking too much, Xu Jie could understand what the little fat man was thinking, and he definitely didn't want everyone to know that his dish was a mess.

The cihuamao who was thinking this way didn't make a sound, and lowered his head silently and began to eat the half-cooked grilled fish left on his plate.

Meow, it's not easy for this guy, Fatty, to take care of cats.

He covered the cat without even asking about anything. If anyone dared to say that the cat was not good, the first time he rushed out to confront him must be the little fat man.

Meow, how can such a good master not protect him, he must not let others find out that Jiantai's dishes are not well done this time, and he must not embarrass Jiantai.

Well, isn't it just a piece of raw grilled fish? If there's anything you can't eat, even a raw cat has eaten it.

So the two main pets who had a tacit understanding in their hearts began to smash against the grilled fish on the plate. In the end, not only were the two sandwiched raw fish eaten, but there were only bones and no meat left.

Cihuamao was very satisfied with the fishbone in the plate, um, after such a "destroying corpse and trace", no one will be able to find out Jiantai's small mistake again.
