On the six hundred and sixty-ninth chapter of the Romantic Eel
The pair of thick straight eyebrows with a big head and a light tail like rubber insects flew up and down and danced the eyebrows, and their expressions were extremely hideous and obscene.
"Sikong Gongzi, this is not right-isn't it true that men are all eels, you, actually, afraid, eels?"
Shan Ye has a profound knowledge of meat jokes like a whole library in his head, not to mention commonplace, it is estimated that Shen Daru, who has no sense of existence but is actually specialized in the study of a certain society of ancient literature before the cataclysm, President Shen is also at a loss in the face of Shan Ye.
Sikong was very puzzled with an "ah",
"Fickle? Moreover, women are fickle..."
"This thing is slippery and slimy like a snake, normal people can't have any feelings about it, such as 'like' and 'beautiful', right?"
Huang Dashan's face was full of strange expressions of "no matter how much you quibble, you can't change an established fact",
"Perfect shape, just the right amount of lubrication, hmph, the aesthetics of this world have been distorted by the Cataclysm, you know, before the Cataclysm, the popularity of eels was comparable to that of cucumbers, I..."
Lin Chou waved his hand and held back Huang Dashan's words,
"I always feel like you're going to say something weird - but can you do the work before you beep."
The mountain master snorted, and without any scruples, he swayed the cute expression of a man in his fifties who picked his feet.
"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense, you talk nonsense!"
Lin Chou, "??? ”
Huang Dashan stretched out a middle finger and said to a pot of eel,
"It's a terrible thing that such a romantic creature can't get your approval."
Everyone, "..."
Master Shan, it seems that he has really completely let himself go!
Sikong seems very innocent,
"I said, can you not take your middle finger at the pot of eels, this son always feels that there is something wrong with this style of painting, do you want to do something strange to the pot of eels? Shall we shy away? ”
The mountain lord said disdainfully,
"You rich kids know a fart, this most impassioned gesture in the history can effectively break through the eel's physical defenses, making its body fragile and mentally trance-like, so that it can be fatal with one blow, watch-"
The mountain master put his middle finger up at the pot and stuck in, and an eel was directly caught by his strange gesture.
Qin Wuyong was stunned,
"I... Grass... Can you really break the defense?? ”
He tried it himself, hey, don't talk about it, you really can't catch it!
The mountain master carried the eel triumphantly, the eel passed under the middle finger, and was firmly buckled between the index finger and the ring finger by the middle finger, and the slippery eel could not escape no matter how much it struggled.
Master Shan's ability to catch eels was a little professional, and even Lin Chou was surprised.
So he said impatiently,
"What are you doing with it, put it down... As soon as you mention the word romantic, I suddenly thought of a good dish, which seems to be really romantic, so why don't we eat dry pot eel, change the dish for another dish... It's not that you let go of that eel or not!! ”
The mountain man scratched his head,
"Huh? Isn't it slaughtering an eel, I can't run away from it like this, I'm professional and specially practiced! ”
Lin Chou scolded,
"Professional fart, I don't know if the eel is slaughtered directly and the eel head is nailed to the cutting board, where is the use of grabbing it, quickly put it down, move another pot over, boil water and boil water!"
"Oh......"
Everyone here, including Sikong Gongzi and Bai Abu, are all masters who don't mind putting down their labor for a delicious meal - except for the pot guide.
The potted plant dragged Qin Wu Yong and said in righteous words that this is a journey that belongs to the forerunner of great movies, well, so she wants to shoot some more scenery along the way, and the two of them are shamefully hidden.
The mountain lord honestly added firewood to the fire,
"So, you're going to throw these romantic eels out of the water alive?"
"Hmm."
Jiang Nu sighed and stuck out her tongue, "It's so cruel." ”
Shan Ye agreed,
"It's just, it's so cruel - can it still taste good if you just burn it?"
A large pot of water boiled, Lin Chou asked the mountain master to hold the eel pot,
"I'll count one, two, three, and you will put the eel all in the pot, do you know - the pot is turned upside down, and the lid is directly buckled on this pot, and the action should be fast."
The mountain master patted his chest and packed the ticket,
"Don't worry, this little thing can still be difficult to bring down my mountain master, one, two, three, go you!"
"Bang!"
The two cauldrons closed into a spherical shape could be heard through the stone walls, and the sound of crackling water could be heard inside, and they were in a mess.
After knowing that it took two minutes, the pot was completely quiet.
"Wash the pot, you have to get the eel out."
A blanching kills the eel instantly, and the high temperature can also remove the mucus and fishy smell on the surface of the eel, and the blanched eel should be placed in warm water rather than cold water, which helps to maintain the meat quality of the eel.
"And then?"
Lin Chou placed the eel horizontally on the top of the board, cut the back of the fish's head, and broke it all the way along the eel bone to the tail, and the eel instantly became a flat piece, and then the knife was slashed against the inside of the belly.
A piece of eel, one with a fish head and a bone, separated.
Lin Chou said,
"If the time is right, in fact, the inside of the eel is not fully cooked, so deboning is the best time, the eel will not break, and the bones and flesh can be easily peeled off."
Shan Ye looked at the fish bones and fish slices on the board and was speechless for a long time,
"You kid just know it yourself, you don't have to tell us - even if we can remember, we can't cut it off."
Lin Chou's deboning action seems to be done in one go, although there are only two knives, but in fact, everyone can see it, this is not as easy as it seems, the eel bone is very soft, which requires the knife bearer's ability to control the knife to a very subtle point, if you don't pay attention to it, either cut the eel, or cut the fish bone.
Shan Ye pondered by himself, if he did it himself, even if he was carrying a kitchen knife instead of a big axe in his hand, it was estimated that the eel after the fish bones were removed, his mother would still not be able to recognize what this pile of things piled up together was.
The internal organs of the eel are small black strips, and it is very simple to take them off and throw them away.
Even if Lin Chou repeatedly sincerely and warmly invited a few people to try to debone the eel, these guys just gave him a sneer, he should burn the fire, he should eat and eat, and he should look at the sky.
Lin Chou complained,
"First the sea cucumber and then a pot of eel, it's dawn after eating, so why don't you do a little favor?"
"Heh, the difficulty star is less than half a star, such as boiling water to catch fish or something, it is estimated that we can still help, you can debone the eel and beautify the sea cucumber at every turn, don't make it difficult for us poor, short-sighted second-generation children? We can't even tell the difference between rice and grass, sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes! ”
"Wait... What is rice? Sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes are not the same thing? Is there a difference? ”
"Oh, you're talking, I'll raise a chestnut!"
"Where's the chestnut?"
“...”
The mountain master said with a smile,
"Lin Zi, Lao Tzu found that your kid has been a little lazy recently, so you have to put it on hold, but you have never complained about anything related to cooking."
Lin Chou thought about it,
"It's mainly that you guys are just idle, can you not stare at me like this, do you know that this makes me very... Uncomfortable? ”
"What's the reason for this, there are girls here, shy?"
Lin Chou squeezed out a word from between his teeth,
"Get out!"
After the eel is deboned, cut into 8-centimeter pieces and fried in oil.
The mountain lord looked at the eel segments turned over in the oil pot distressedly,
"Oops, hey, it's old, it's old, and if you blow it up again, you'll be really old!"
This is true, the meat of eel is tougher than fish, and it can become very stiff after frying.
Lin Chou said,
"The fried eel skin can better hold the taste, and it will be cooked for a while, and it will not get old."
Sikong said curiously,
"What the hell are you going to cook? Or what a romantic dish... God mysterious. ”
Lin Chou explained,
"Hmm... Shrimp fried eel, have you ever heard of it? ”
“...”
Lin Chou continued,
"It's hard to label any dish with a clear geographical location, especially the kind that is refined into a city, a township."
"But when it comes to the dish of shrimp and fried eel, maybe some people's first thought is Xu Zhimo - and the city of Haining."
"There are many dishes that are spread according to the story, and the shrimp eel is the same, this is a very special dish, the reason why it is romantic is because the great poet Xu Zhimo must eat shrimp and eel every time he returns to his hometown Haining, so the shrimp eel has become a legend in the Crescent Poetry Society."
Something called literature and art or middle two in Sikong's body is instantly activated,
"Scared, Xu-Shima?!"
Before it was fully unfolded, it was thrown into pieces by the mountain master's sleeve,
"Scared, Xu Zhimo? It's the one who always throws up his sleeves?! ”
"Uh..."Lin Chou's voice couldn't help but pause, "Yes, it's always... The one that flicked up the sleeves. ”
Sikong, Bai Abyur, and Jiang Nu's romantic elegance that had not yet been ignited was instantly poured down by a vat of ice water, and they were speechless for a long time.
Master Shan doesn't care what he misses, he has the confidence.
The treatment of eel in shrimp fried eel pays attention to a "vegetable oil fried with meat oil and fried sesame oil", that is, vegetable oil is used when frying, meat oil is used when frying, and finally another piece is poured with sesame oil, so as to cook a perfect shrimp fried eel.
Lin Chou strictly followed this little rule, but-
"Huh?" Sikong found out that something was wrong, "Didn't you say that shrimp burst eels, what about shrimp?" ”
The mountain was covered in mud, and ran back from the direction of the swamp with a simple smirk,
"The shrimp are coming, the shrimp are coming, Brother Worry, do you see if these are enough!"
Lin Chou glanced at it and was silent,
"Uh... In terms of quantity, it is enough, is this size a little smaller? ”
The freshwater shrimp that Xia Dasha caught back were all only the size of a grain of rice, crystal transparent and lively, and they didn't leak out of his fingers in Dasha's huge palm, which was really embarrassing for him.
Dasha said,
"I didn't see a big one, it's all so little, it took a lot of effort to find a handful."
"Okay, okay..."
Lin Chou invited the big iron box that flew over with the convenient shovel and the most speechless thing for the mountain master - another whole large jar of broth.
The mountain master suddenly exploded,
"Wait, wait, no, you still have a lot of soup with you? Didn't you say there was nowhere to put it?! ”
Lin Chou took it for granted,
"Soup, broth, stewed soup, the nature is completely different, this is the old hen pig's trotters and pork bones and pork belly stewed, the kind without skimming oil, the soup is turbid, the taste is very strong, shrimp and eel, this soup is the most important, of course, I usually use this kind of 'turbid soup' to make some dishes, mainly stewed this soup saves a lot of cost than broth."
“...”
Master Shan said in his heart, what Lao Tzu asked is not this at all, can you kid understand the point?
Like Lin Chou said, the so-called "turbid soup" is actually a kind of broth, but there is no need to remove the oil star, and it can be served and used after simmering for six hours, and the basic ingredients are four: old hen, pig's trotters, salted meat and pork bones, at most add a handful of chives and a piece of fresh ginger, which is very simple and does not need to be taken care of at all.
It's as cumbersome as the soup used for boiling water cabbage, and if you make a pot of old man-level chefs who are not in good health, you can stew it out with half a life.
Green onion and ginger boiling pot, under the eel section, some of the most basic seasonings are fried to the fragrance and then along the side of the pot to cook half a bottle of old rice wine, roll into the broth, a few minutes later, when the soup thickens, start another pot, the bottom of the pot is hot and lightly fragrant sesame oil, stir-fry the river shrimp and then cook it into the eel pot with oil, and then there is no need to move, let the bottom fire be applied.
The meat of the eel is more resilient, which means that the crispy eel segment after frying is more likely to absorb the soup, and when the stock is full of the eel's skin and flesh, making the dried eel swell up and become delicate and rejuvenate the eel flavor instead of the stock flavor, the whole dish is ready to cook.
After rolling on the charcoal fire, a few dried devil peppers are placed on the stone slab and crushed with pebbles, sprinkled with a little coriander, and the spicy, burnt, and fragrant are compounded together, which is actually more eye-catching than the eel that has just come out of the pot.
Lin Chou said,
"Oh, this dish has a slightly lighter taste, and it's not very suitable for adding chili peppers to it, which affects the taste."
The mountain master smiled slightly,
"So, can you give me a portion of your pepper?"
"I want it too, I want it too!"
"Huh? Girls don't need it, this devil pepper is super spicy, and it's easy to get acne when you eat it. ”
"Huh!"
Just when several people were fighting over a plate of paste chili peppers, Qin Wuyong ran back in a panic,
"Master Shan, Lin Zi, Zuo Chen and I found something - this island seems to be a little wrong."
The mountain master was scooping the fish into his bowl, and his reaction was half a beat slower.
"Huh? What the hell... What do you say? ”
Qin Wuyong directly gave him a roll of the eyes,
"Don't eat it yet, after seeing what we found, I'm sure you won't even have the appetite to eat."
The mountain master didn't plan to believe him, so he followed him while eating with a bowl.
Several people also put down the dishes and chopsticks and followed Qin Wuyong to the island, and saw the potted plants facing the ground in a daze.
"What the hell did you find, all the fuss."
The potted plant pointed to the ground, waved his hand and quietly signaled Qin Wuyong to point the camera lens at everyone,
"Does this thing sound familiar?"
