Chapter four hundred and fortieth on the jellyfish soup
After causing such a big mess, if you don't just pat your butt and leave quickly, are you still waiting for someone to claim compensation?
Are you kidding? I am so smart!
Lin Chou was still rejoicing as he ran away. After receiving the Flower of Salt, he also received an extra half-huge seven-star sting. He just happened to go back to try new dishes. Summit 23S.
Fastest update
A third-level alien beast. If this big thing were to be in the sea, including the bunch of grunts at the back, it would be at least ten meters long. Even Lin Chou might not be able to handle it, so he just bought one and got one free.
Hey! This is what life is!
...
As soon as Lin Chou arrived at the gate, a figure emerged from the thorns.
"Oh, let me go. Lin Zi, you are finally back."
Lin Chou was startled,
"Master Shan, what are you doing? Why is your face covered in blood?"
"Ah? Oh..." Mr. Shan casually wiped his bald head twice, "It's boring. Hair and beard have grown on my head. I'm thinking of pulling out a few strands for fun."
"..."
How boring are you?
Huang Dashan asked in a low voice,
"Is the base city...still there...will we be homeless in the future?"
Lin Chou said this again, and Master Shan opened his mouth wide when he heard it.
"Emotional guys, are they all going after those penguins?"
Then with a big heart, he turned his attention to the giant jellyfish that he held in his arms like a treasure.
"What a big jellyfish! Are there extra meals tonight?"
Lin Chou nodded,
"Home-cooked food, what I used to eat when I was a kid. Let's go in and take care of this big guy."
Jellyfish is mild in nature, rich in nutrients and suitable for all ages. It has almost no contraindications and can be used in various cooking methods.
But except for coastal areas, there seems to be a huge misunderstanding about jellyfish.
Most people think that it is poisonous and should not be eaten fresh. It must be washed and marinated three times with alum.
In fact, many varieties of jellyfish are non-toxic, but if you want to eat them, you must know how to identify them.
Lin Chou's memory of jellyfish still lingers on her father's jellyfish soup when she was young. The cold, delicious, crisp and refreshing taste is the most mouth-watering taste in summer.
The complete jellyfish that Master Gungun snatched out of the big octopus's mouth was still very energetic, and its tentacles were all jumping around.
Rinse with running water and soak for several hours, then cut off excess tentacles, leaving only the jellyfish head.
Lin Chou also discovered many jellyfish and shrimps that symbiotically exist in the lumen of the jellyfish's feeding chamber. However, these little creatures did not have the vitality as strong as the jellyfish and had long since died.
In fact, in addition to feeding on various plankton taken into the mouth of jellyfish, jellyfish shrimp are also dedicated sentinels.
They can sense danger earlier than jellyfish, including their own natural enemies and the jellyfish's natural enemies, and then they will hide in the jellyfish's lumen. After the jellyfish is stimulated, the lumen closes and sinks to the bottom to avoid attacks.
Well, more importantly, it is said that the meat of jellyfish shrimp, which is relatively pure vegetarian, is extremely delicious and can be called a masterpiece.
But I am destined not to be able to enjoy this delicious food today.
The jellyfish shrimp itself is almost transparent, the body and limbs of the shrimp are very soft, and the skin appears to be shellless and transparent.
This means that the oxidation process after their death will proceed very quickly, turning white and deteriorating at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye, making them unfit for consumption. Lin Chou expressed deep condolences for this.
After several hours of rinsing and soaking, all impurities from the jellyfish are removed. Cut off a piece the size of a washbasin with a sharp knife, peel it and cut it into half-centimeter-thick slices, and then cut it into long strips.
The jellyfish strips after the skin is removed are the finished product and cannot be washed with water, otherwise the juice will be lost and the delicious taste will be lost.
Jellyfish soup is called soup, but it does not require cooking.
Take a tablespoon of old vinegar, add salt, minced garlic, fried white sesame seeds, and appropriate amount of sesame oil. Finally, mince the fresh red devil pepper and add the fragrant coriander that has just pulled out the young leaves. Stir evenly.

"..."
Master Shan was watching eagerly, Lin Chou stopped for a long time, and then Master Shan said numbly,
"Is it... over??"
Lin Chou spread his hands,
"It's over."
Master Shan held it in for a while,
"This is really the first time I see you cooking such a simple dish."
Lin Chou said,
"My father often made this jellyfish soup for me when the weather was hot when I was a child. I had a bad constitution since I was a child, so I would get sick and unable to eat in the summer. The jellyfish soup is not only refreshing and refreshing, but also very appetizing. Haha
.”
"It's just a dish of cold jellyfish. Why does it have to be called jellyfish soup?"
"Wait."
Lin Chou placed the jellyfish soup in the freezer for an hour and then took it out.
"Huh? It really turned into soup?"
There is nothing surprising about this. Ninety percent of fresh jellyfish is water. Under the action of salt and seasonings, the water gradually separates. It only takes an hour to leave a bowl of cold jellyfish into half a bowl of jellyfish.
Soup.
It seems magical, but in fact it is very common. Any housewife can tell this truth.
Of course, it's easy to bluff Mr. Shan.
There were only two people in the small restaurant, so each of them filled an old bowl, each holding it and squatting at the door ready to eat.
This is a secret that is not passed down in the alley. It is said that eating while squatting is more delicious. When you are full, you can get up and jump a few times and you will be a good man again.
However, considering Boss Lin's glorious and majestic image, Lin Chou himself rarely uses this secret technique.
The jellyfish soup resembles jelly and is crystal clear.
After one hour of refrigeration, a layer of cool white steam was spread on top, making it look very appetizing.
A strip of "jelly" is served at the entrance, which is cool and pleasant.
It is smooth, soft and tender like jelly when you first eat it, but when you bite it, it makes a "click-click" breaking sound, and it is full of juice, crisp and elastic.
Spicy, sour and fresh, this is the true meaning of jellyfish soup.
When Lin Chou was still feeling the taste of the first piece of jellyfish, he heard a sudden splash around him. When he turned around, Huang Dashan was looking at him pitifully.
"..."
Shan Ye said sarcastically,
"This, this is too little. It's like noodles. It's all gone into my stomach as soon as it's bald... It feels so good. Grandpa Dashan, I haven't tasted it yet."
Lin Chou shrugged, indicating that there was nothing he could do.
"You're so stingy, don't you still have more than half of the pot, so you can keep the cubs?"
"Ouch!!"
A strong wind blows in the face, and Mr. Shan makes a lot of money.
"snort."
Gungun saw that no one really wanted to snatch his rice bowl, so he relaxed and lay down on the ground.
The two caracals emerged from under the long bear fur blanket and began a series of professional-level shoulder and back rubs.
The big-breasted sister specially picked two pairs of the longest hot pot chopsticks and fed the jellyfish shreds to Mr. Gungun's mouth one chopstick at a time.
"Aww!"
It seemed that Mr. Gungun was quite satisfied with the taste of the jellyfish soup, and he proudly raised his plump buttocks.
The big-breasted sister saw the sweetness of Mr. Gungun's food, her eyes were full of love and enthusiasm, and she used a towel to wipe the soup around the corner of Gungun's mouth.
When the next chopstick brings the jellyfish to my mouth,
"Ouch."
Although Mr. Gungun was drooling a lot, he refused righteously.
"Ouch~"
It loyally pushed the chopsticks to the busty sister's mouth.
The busty lady was so surprised,
"Lord Blood God, yes...yes...do you want me to eat too?"
"Ouch!"
Chi's eyes became crystal clear, she nodded repeatedly, put a piece of jellyfish into her lips, closed her eyes and chewed it carefully, with half a tear hanging from the corner of her eye.
"I am!" Huang Dashan couldn't hold back the curse after all.
Beep beep, I can no longer hang out in the wilderness, and a bear showed off his affection all over his face!!
