Chapter 1817: Chapter 1819: Grilled Fish Success

In the following days, Li Fugui and Xiaoxiao continuously researched how to make roasted fish.

Although the fish was already very tasty, in Xiaoxiao’s view, it remained a failed product.

Undoubtedly, in these days, the family ate fish every day.

Even though the fish was delicious and nutritious, eating it daily became tiresome.

After a few days, everyone felt they couldn’t eat it anymore.

It would be a waste to throw away the fish, so Xiaoxiao distributed it to their relatives.

"Li Fugui, I think the fish is lacking in the roasting, why don’t we visit the blacksmith’s shop and see if they can make an oven for roasting."

Li Fugui nodded, there seemed no other option.

For such a long time, having tried so many foods outside, the research time was always short, but this time, it stirred his determination.

The two of them went to the blacksmith’s shop in town, and Xiaoxiao explained their requirements to the owner.

The owner contemplated deeply and eventually came up with a solution for Xiaoxiao, making a square box with slots at the top and bottom to heat the sealed box.

Xiaoxiao was just an ordinary person and didn’t understand the principles behind the oven, so after considering it, she decided to follow the owner’s advice!

Remembering the roasting duck boxes seen in modern markets, where ducks rotated inside, she instructed the owner to make a similar box!

A few days later, they collected the box, and Li Fugui and Xiaoxiao began experimenting again.

Thinking that if this didn’t work, they would stop trying; the previous fish actually tasted pretty good!

First, they prepared the fish, marinated it for flavor, threaded it onto a skewer, brushed it with oil, then placed it in the homemade oven.

Because the fish needed turning, the oven was not entirely sealed, with a side open and skewers arranged in two rows in the middle, resembling a barbecue.

The fish was roasted like this, with oil brushed onto it occasionally, soon the aroma of roasted fish emerged.

Xiaoxiao’s little heart was pounding excitedly, it almost seemed like they could succeed.

If successful, maybe they could roast duck too, after all, their family also raised ducks!

But the ideal was so rich, and reality was stark, where would roasted fish succeed on the first try?

However, it was becoming more consistent.

After roasting dozens of fish, they discovered some secrets in controlling the temperature and roasting time.

They finally roasted a fish they deemed quite good.

With this breakthrough, the rest was easy, Li Fugui’s seasoning skills were top-notch.

Soon, the roasted fish was completed.

"Try it now, is this the taste?"

Xiaoxiao took the chopsticks, grabbed a bite, and her eyes lit up, as if she were back in a modern roasted fish restaurant, though still lacking slightly; in her view, it was already perfect, considering there’s nothing here.

"Yes, that’s it, Li Fugui, we succeeded, now you should try it too!"

Hearing this, Li Fugui breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to help, he picked up the chopsticks and took a bite.

The taste was indeed different, with the aroma of roasted fish and the flavor of the sauce permeated, even the side dishes were delicious.

"Let’s make two more, and let the family try them tonight!"

"Okay!"

The homemade oven wasn’t limited to roasting one fish; with the previous tips, they could roast several fish at once.

Only, the final serving pot for the roasted fish was made in limited quantity, just one.
