In fact, as the only surviving descendant of the ancestral dragon, the crocodile has already maxed out its survivability and adaptability, and its mutant Hemicrocodylus is one of the best.
This half-crocodile dragon is 15 meters long and weighs eleven tons. It is more like a flesh-and-blood mecha creature. It has few rivals at its level. Its ferocious bone armor and protrusions are as hard as steel.
Lin Chou took out a slender cold iron soft knife that he had never used before and made a gesture. It was twenty centimeters long. It was a fool's errand to stab the half-crocodile dragon to death. If he was given half a year to just sit here and poke holes, I guess.
In the end, the half-crocodile dragon starved to death rather than being stabbed to death.
He decisively changed the sun and moon shovel, and the shovel "clicked" along the back of the half-crocodile dragon's head. The half-crocodile dragon's body twitched slightly and died instantly. This was the quickest and painless way to die that he could think of.
The skin of Semisuchus is more than ten centimeters thick and covered with ferocious horny bone armor and scales, making it difficult to handle and unfit for consumption.
What's more, the half-crocodile dragon is a fourth-level exotic beast, and the price of its leather armor is astonishing. How could Lin Chou be willing to feed Gungun?
He broke it open along the belly, skinned it directly, cut off the limbs and crocodile paws and a section of the crocodile tail that was more than one meter long, and put it away calmly.
Gungun won't pay for his meals, well, just treat them as construction costs.
In fact, the moment Gungun put down Xiaoqiu, Lin Chou was a little tempted, so she might as well let the foodie go back to the forest.
But the thought that Gungun was willing to give him the bow he loved so much really touched the soft part of Lin Chou's heart.
Animal emotions have always been so pure that nothing else can be mixed into them.
Lin Chou wanted what it had in its hands. If such a message was given to other beasts, it would be enough reason to fight to the death.
Besides, TM is a sixth-level flower. They just refuse to leave. Who dares to chase him away?
Dispose of the internal organs of the half-crocodile dragon, fill the belly with a pot of beef bone broth slightly seasoned with salt and Sancai snake wine, fill it with water and sew it up, hang it high in a cage above the barbecue platform, and light it.
Adding water or stock to the belly and roasting it is a common method for processing large animals. After heating, the inside and outside are cooked at the same time, making the outside crispy and the inside tender, and the cooking time can be greatly reduced.
The meat of the half-crocodile dragon is divided into two colors. It is light pink near the joints, and the rest is pink-white. The texture is fine, and it has the wild fragrance of land animals and the fresh fragrance of aquatic creatures. However, this kind of meat is divided into two colors.
The fragrance is almost completely covered by the fishy smell carried by crocodiles, making it difficult for ordinary people to catch it.
Lin Chou chose to bake it with fresh maidenhair vines to remove the smell. Of course, there was no need to remove it too thoroughly. For Mr. Gungun, it seemed more suitable to retain some wild flavor.
The half-crocodile dragon meat roasted over an open fire soon made a crackling sound and began to curl. Lin Chou lowered the iron cage, poured oil on it as evenly as possible with a small bowl, and continued to bake, turning it over.
After two hours of roasting, the whole half-crocodile dragon became golden and attractive, full of aroma.
Lin Chou waved his hand, "Take it, take it."
"Ouch."
Gungun picked up the whole half-crocodile dragon and ran away, ignoring the scalding temperature as if it was nothing. After thinking about it, he clicked off the half-crocodile dragon's head and sent it to Lin Chou outside the house.
"You can eat it yourself."
"Ouch!" Master Gungun quickly floated away.
Lin Chou let out a laugh and took out the half-meter-long and fat half-crocodile dragon forepaw from the fresh-keeping cabinet.
"This is the good stuff!"
Some gourmets in the base city once commented that the crocodile belly has outstanding umami flavor, tender and smooth meat, and the skin is rich in colloid, making it the most delicious part of the body of the half-crocodile.
Lin Chou sneered at this, saying that the ignorant thing, the crocodile palm, was the way to go.
The half-crocodile dragon palm combines all kinds of essences, including flesh, blood, bones and tendons, and is rich in cortex and colloid. Judging from a cook's instinct for food, apart from being difficult to process and make, this thing is nothing like crocodile belly.
There's no way to compare it to it, it's a world of difference!
For the tougher parts of the animal's body, Lin Chou still prefers the red grilled method.
First boil water with green onions and ginger, blanch alligator palms in water for three minutes. When the internal and external temperatures are consistent and the muscles tighten slightly, take it out immediately and put it in the freezer of a fresh-keeping cabinet for ten minutes.
When it was taken out again, ice crystals formed on its surface and became hard, while there was residual warmth inside.
While the epidermis is frozen, this is the easiest time to remove the scales and outer layer of horny skin.
After carefully removing each layer of old skin and sharp claws, the crocodile paw became much more beautiful, with the light gray skin showing through the pink inside.
Heat the oil in the pan. When it is hot and there is a lot of green smoke, remove the alligator palm with a slotted spoon, roll it once and take it out. Use a brush to brush a layer of soy sauce on the surface of the alligator palm and put it back into the pan. Repeat this three times. The last frying time is a little longer.
When the crocodile palm is taken out, its skin is bright red and pine bark-like.
Put a large casserole on the stove, add a guinea fowl chopped into large pieces, beef ribs, and reluctantly add a large piece of ham, onions, ginger, and garlic, fill it with water, and place a steamer of a good size above the casserole.
Put the crocodile paw into it and close the lid and steam.
It takes four hours to steam the crocodile paw, and Lin Chou took the opportunity to feed the fence and home tree a hearty meal. The best fourth-order and a half crocodile dragon offal was served with a whole guinea fowl. There is no better breakfast than this.
Lunch was provided to a few more hunters - the hunters also knew that they would not be able to ask Lin Chou to come three times a day like last night. Besides, the price of Lin Chou's food meant that it would take half a month to eat just once.
There were people guarding the courtyard, but Lin Chou was extremely free.
Four hours later, the alligator paw will be steamed.
Lin Chou poured out a bowl of casserole with more than half of the broth left in it, put it into another pot and brought it to a boil over high heat, added soy sauce, chicken fir mycelium, and starch to boil it into a red and thick gravy, which was poured directly onto the steamed crocodile paws.
"Huh...it smells so good!"
Lin Chou put the crocodile palm on a plate, placed it on the island table, and tasted it first.
“The soup is thick, shiny, ruddy and shiny, so it’s pretty good.”
Touching the crocodile palm with chopsticks, you can see that the crocodile palm was shaking like jelly on the plate. It took nearly two minutes to gradually stop. From time to time, crystal gelatin gushes out and condenses from the cross section.
In the past, Lin Chou's father once said that there was a famous chef in ancient times who was good at making the feet of animals. This man was also good at cooking crocodile paws and bear paws. The crocodile paws he cooked and the bear paws were displayed outside the room, letting the breeze blow them.
, then it is like ripples in the water and looks like a delicate flower, attracting pity.
Lin Chou thought to himself that he had not reached that level.
"Well, the flesh of my palms is so chewy."
Smiling slightly, "Well, let's eat!"
Use chopsticks to gently pick up the crocodile paw. Under the bright red juice, there is the white and tender meat as bright as the bright moon, trembling slightly between the chopsticks.
"Huh~"
The jelly-like meat of the crocodile paw melted completely in his mouth with a slight sip. He was caught off guard and before he could feel the taste of the crocodile paw, the soup flowed down his throat and entered his stomach, giving him a warm feeling.
Lin Chou chattered, and the lingering fragrance of the crocodile palm seemed to compose a moving love song in his mouth, making people unable to help but close their eyes and reverie, immersed in it.
"Roar!"
As soon as Lin Chou opened his eyes, he saw Gungun stuffing his whole face into the back door of the kitchen, squeezing it into a strange square, staring at him with dark eyes filled with a thousand words.
The expression on his face was like that of a kitten whose owner had stolen dried fish, feeling betrayed, hesitant, struggling, helpless, aggrieved, and on the verge of tears.
