Chapter 124: Only those who pass can compete for things
When I came to the already somewhat damaged electric eel python, it was different from when I captured it before. It exuded a strong fishy smell.
Because the pool is living water, the flowing water takes away a lot of blood and mucus. At this time, when you are close to the electric eel and python, you can even smell a faint sweet aroma of fish sashimi.
This is also the special feature of electric eel, eel and python as a dream food!
Combining the characteristics of eel, eel and snake meat, the meat seems to retain vitality after death, constantly shrinking and bouncing.
After gesticulating with the kitchen knife for a long time, Zhao Youqian finally chose to cut the tail section.
I didn't cut it directly, because even if the running water took away a lot of mucus, the mucus remaining on the body of the electric eel python would still be a challenge for the chef. However, if you clean up the mucus directly, it would also make the electric eel python worse. The water loss is faster, which is not conducive to maintaining the freshness of the ingredients. Zhao Youqian can only use the snow girl's ability to freeze the eel and python first.
Then he cut off the tail part with a kitchen knife. If you look closely, you can see that the ice did not seal directly on the surface of the eel python, but stopped just at the mucus part, leaving a layer of gaps.
This is also the result of Zhao Youqian's intentional control, so that the electric eel, eel and python are in a refrigerated state rather than frozen, which can better preserve the quality of this ingredient.
After cooling down a little, the mucus in the tail of the eel and python that Zhao Yougan cut off also changed.
It began to look solid, so that Zhao Youqian could use a knife to scrape and clean it, and he had always deliberately used water with a temperature around zero to clean it. Soon, the blue-gray eel python tail suddenly became clear. new.
The meat is as white as crystal, with a rich blue-gray cortex, and a fat layer that is solidified like lard.
To be honest, if I hadn’t known that this was the electric eel python, a dream ingredient, I would have thought it was a huge eel just by looking at its tail.
Zhao Youqian also had a plan in mind for this, and he had already thought of no fewer than eighty-nine cooking methods. However, limited by his current physical strength and cooking conditions, he chose the two simplest methods.
Roast and stew!
The one that can best appreciate the original flavor of the ingredients, the one that can best feel the meaty texture of the ingredients.
I found a large flat blue stone, washed it with pond water, and then attached two charms to avoid dust and insects, and a simple chopping board was completed.
Zhao Youqian held a kitchen knife in one hand and pressed the eel and python meat with the other hand, just like a piece of fish. He cut off a large piece of fish meat from the joint of the severed tail, complete with the skin.
Then he turned the eel and python meat over and cooked it in the same way. All the eel and python meat on both sides were removed, and not a trace of bones remained.
Only the white eel and python skeleton was left, with the bone spurs standing up, but not a single extra bit of flesh.
You can also know how well-measured Zhao You is when he strikes a knife!
The eel and python bones will not be wasted. Zhao Youqian directly made a grilling net and placed it on the bonfire, then threw the fish bones on the barbecue. Later, he would use some simple spices and add water to make a pot of extremely delicious food. of eel and python bone soup.
Cut two pieces of eel and python meat directly into a large plate, each piece is half a palm-sized piece of meat, and just put it on the fire and grill it later.
The other piece requires a little more thought.
The eel and python meat is quite juicy. If you want it to be stewed in a short time and be chewable, you need to put more effort into your knife skills.
Cut at a 45-degree angle and keep scratching the eel and python meat to cut off the meat without damaging the skin opening.
After the entire eel and python meat has been cut open, turn the direction and use the knife method to cut through the meat without cutting into the skin. But this time, after every three cuts, the eel and python meat that has blossomed patterns will be cut. Cut off even the skin and become a piece of meat with dense fine lines.
This is the so-called "flower knife". Once the meat starts to shrink when heated, the meat slices will show the effect of chrysanthemum blooming.
It is also a method to speed up the flavor and ripeness when stewing.
Onions, ginger and garlic were prepared in my backpack, and I also brought a lot of spices. This is why Zhao Youqian's backpack is so heavy.
He didn't need to bring any equipment for survival in the wild. The abilities of the Hundred Ghosts and the Heaven-Bearing Talisman saved him a lot of space, so he only brought these things that were useful for cooking, but he kept monitoring them. The igo staff couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Even through the screen, watching Zhao Yougan make the roasted eel and python meat slices tastes so good!
The igo monitoring staff couldn't feel this scent through the screen, but Mimi and Isayama Yomi who were cleaning nearby could smell it accurately.
When the onions, ginger, and garlic went into the stew pot and sauteed until fragrant, plus the aroma of the eel and python slices coming out of the pot, the two girls who originally wanted to wash them carefully for a while couldn't help it. After using Fu Qingshuang, Ran over.
Looking at the white smoke coming out of the pot that had started to simmer, I swallowed my saliva.
"Have you finished washing?"
Zhao Youqian saw the two girls squatting in front of the fire with hungry expressions on their faces, and knew that they were already starving. He didn't say anything more, and after a brief greeting, he took off the eel and python bones from the grill. He put it into another pot, poured in clean water, and then added some wild vegetables, spices, and green onions and ginger that he found nearby.
Then put it on the other side of the campfire and cook slowly.
He directly covered the empty grilling net with sliced eel and python meat.
After just a while, the grease forced out by the heat of the campfire began to make a "squeaking" sound, making Isayama Yomi and the others even hungrier...
Not to mention Isayama Huangquan and Mimi, Zhao Youqian was also very hungry.
But he still had sense, and knew that the heat was not high enough at this time, so he started to turn the eel and python meat parts, the first step was the meat side, and the second step was to grill the skin part.
When the fat under the skin is completely roasted and no residue remains, the grilled eel and python meat is complete!
Just as Zhao Youqian and the others were looking forward to the delicious taste of the dreamy ingredients, at several other campfires in the jungle, several teams that had eliminated their targets earlier were also discussing the matter of this assessment.
...
Tan Fangti held a piece of strong hind leg meat in his hand and took a big bite of the whole piece of meat. The leg meat was not as hard as it looked at all. Instead, it felt as if he had bitten on pudding. He chewed it a few times and felt a warm sensation. It blended directly into his body, and made him, who had small eyes, feel comfortable and happy, and his eyes narrowed even smaller.
"This snowflake pig tastes really good..."
After enjoying the taste, Tan Fangti spoke slowly, while the other two people in his group were also eating this rare and dreamy ingredient desperately.
Hunt level lv6 snowflake pig!
"I don't know what it's like to have ingredients that can only be competed for after passing the special examination..."
