Thanks to Gungun's perfect gravity field insect repellent technique, Lin Chou's salted fish was in very good condition - well, Lin Chou was the one who made the salted fish look very good.
The sky that is always filled with yellow clouds is destined to turn "drying" into "drying in the shade". The updraft passing over the hillside from the Hetao Corridor will quickly take away the moisture in the fish meat. In just three days, the edges of the spread fish fillets will
It already had a curly shape, and drops of transparent and yellowish oil seeped out from the flesh and skin, and finally dripped on the ground.
Under the combined action of green salt and drying, the fish skin and fish meat are actually light green with a slightly burnt yellow color. This color and texture are easily reminiscent of barbecue on charcoal fire.
Especially after the fish scales are scraped off, the neat grid left on the fish will feel very comfortable after looking at it for a long time.
The original sharp fishy smell of the fish has become weaker, and a warm aroma like cod liver oil can be smelled around the bamboo rack.
Lin Chou observed the quality of the salted fish,
"Absolutely perfect."
Mr. Gungun has been "released from prison" and is leaning against the back door of the kitchen, adding a gravity field to the bamboo frame every few hours.
"Ouch..."
The same action was repeated for three days. If it hadn't been for the boss's request for extra meals, he would have quit working.
Lin Chou said,
"That's it now, grilled fish with red willow!"
Lin Chou had previously cut off all the less "energetic" branches of the red willow tree transplanted from Huang Dashan. Maybe they would inevitably wither during the survival process...
Anyway, it is impossible to waste, so it is better to prepare in advance.
There are almost a hundred pruned red willow branches that are long enough to be used for grilling fish.
(As for the red willow roasted lamb, roasted lamb whip, roasted lamb eggs and so on that Huang Dashan has been dreaming about, it seems that we can only wait for the next batch of Gobi sheep lambs to come out before we can make plans.)
Even the remaining small branches are very tough. After all, they are magic plants and are extraordinary.
Fresh red willow branches have a very fresh aroma, which is different from ordinary willow trees. The tree aroma of red willow is sweet and strong.
Sharpen one end of the red willow branch, and pass it through the red willow branch inside and out like a suture at the center of the salted fish, which is where the fish belly originally was. Finally, pass it out from the fish's mouth, and then use three or five small branches to pass through it horizontally.
Cross the body of the fish and clamp it on the thick red willow to lay the fish flat. This way you don't have to worry about the whole fish turning into a strange shape when grilling.
The fish meat has been treated with green salt and peppercorns in advance. You only need to light a fire to reduce it to charcoal, place the fish around it, and wait patiently.
No open flames are allowed during grilling of fish. The delicate fish meat is easily affected by excessive heat and may become dry, bitter or burnt.
As soon as the smell of grilled fish came out, the evolvers on the hillside immediately laughed knowingly, and people waiting to eat gathered around the fire.
"Boss Lin, card or cash?"
"Ouch, I waited these two days in vain. I already knew today would happen from the moment Boss Lin hung up the fish."
"So, no one from Base City stopped by today?"
"no..."
"That's a pity. I don't know when the next time there will be new dishes."
"What kind of new dish is this? It's obviously our Lord Gungun who confiscated the fish... Hehe... It's enough for everyone to know. Don't tell anyone. Boss Lin is so embarrassed."
"Ah, yes, yes, Boss Lin said that the fish were frightened and the meat quality would change badly if they were out of the water for a long time. That's why I didn't put back all the fish I fished out."
"Can you really tell the difference..."
"Who knows, maybe the cook can eat it?"
"Mmp, it's such a contrived taste system... maybe there's a bit of a Virgo bonus?"
Some of them had had a fish feast featuring crispy pork belly last time before, and it was particularly good.
Especially at the end of the meal, when I poured the fish jelly on the white rice, it was so delicious!
"Who doesn't know how to grill fish? It's not easy to grill it well."
"Hey, no one pays attention to the fact that Lin Chou didn't put it back because Lord Gungun fished it out because he didn't like the quality, so it was our turn to add food..."
"Hey, now I'm thinking about the quality. I haven't seen you take a sip of the soup made from the leftovers, right?"
There are not many people on Yanhui Mountain today. Apart from the "permanent population" such as Huang Dashan, there are only three or four hunting teams here to repair vehicles and prepare for hunting.
There was also a hunting team that had just suffered a defeat collectively standing up on the hillside - I heard that they spent a lot of money to customize a package of special equipment and traps in Ellis in order to deal with a precious third-order thunder falcon.
After three days of hard work, I harvested five bird feathers, which made the captain jump out of the car and "commit suicide" on the spot.
Well, it doesn't look like they are in the mood for a big meal, so it's best not to disturb them.
Grilling fish is a job that requires patience. If you are not careful, the red charcoal will turn the fish somewhere into its own kind.
A perfectly grilled fish will have a golden appearance and beautiful scorch marks on the flesh, and the original color of the fish skin can be faintly seen.
When the surface of the charcoal in the fire is covered with a gray-white color, it is a signal, and the fish meat suddenly becomes fragrant. The originally not obvious burnt aroma is now like a small hook.
"Do you smell the fishy smell?"
"It's strange..."
"It's really not fishy, just fishy."
"There is also a pine smell...no, no, no..."
When the cut red willow branches are roasted under the heat, a slightly viscous juice will appear on the surface, and the power will begin to show.
Unless you are absolutely confident about the quality of the fish, grilling fish cannot be as simple and straightforward as barbecue, and you must use some clever tricks: the naturally charming aroma of red willow branches is good at removing fishy smell;
The fish meat that has been dried to release oil will not only make the meat firmer, but also take away a large part of the water and sharp fishy smell.
Fish that are too large and heavy are not easy to taste. It takes a certain amount of time to be perfectly moistened by seasonings such as green salt and Sichuan peppercorns. This time will also vary depending on the location and season - as long as the fish meat is full of odor.
Oil instead of water means everything is just right.
Lin Chou shouted,
"Give me a moment, give me a moment!"
He was holding a large basin and a bucket in his hand.
The basin is full of seasoning powder, and the bucket is full of clear oil.
"What is this? A secret recipe passed down from ancestors? The kind that is passed down from male to female?"
Lin Chou rolled her eyes,
"You're overthinking it, this is salt and pepper and fake cumin powder!"
Lin Chou picked up a cooking brush and dipped it in the oil bucket twice, then swished oil on the fish, then sprinkled a handful of seasoning powder on it.
People complained,
"Hey, that's too casual~"
"I'm telling you, you have no soul in spreading salt like this!"
The fiery spiciness expanded infinitely under the last bit of heat from the charcoal fire. As a result, everyone took a big puff of the white smoke from the roasted devil pepper.
"..."
"..."
"..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
There are many people who hold their throats as if they were poisoned.
Prince Huang shouted from afar,
"I wonder why the more you plant your peppers, the spicier they become??"
Lin Chou thought to himself, "Can it not be spicy? Counting the time when the vegetable field was destroyed, this is the third generation of devil peppers planted. After undergoing systematic training, each generation is really stronger than the last."
Lin Chou shouted,
"Big-breasted sister, take these fish to Gungun."
The grilled fish was placed on the tray, and Lin Chou easily pulled off the red willow branch - this thing might be put to other uses or reused, but if it was brought to Gungun's mouth, he would just see you tomorro.
A group of awakened people clicked their tongues,
"Sometimes I really envy Mr. Gungun."
"Don't talk about Gungun, he's just a four-legged dog..."
"Oh, let's not talk about it anymore. Life is worse than that of a dog. What, Brother Chou should just swipe the card at the counter?"
"Are you stupid? Why draw a card? Linzi doesn't accept money all the time!" Mr. Shan swaggered into the circle and emphasized again and again, "Get out of the way, grilled fish with red willow, red willow! You, Mr. Shan, I will contribute."
Do you know? Hey, I'll pick a big one first..."
Most people have heard about Boss Lin's new dishes and he uses satisfaction as payment for meals. Have you ever heard of it? Have you ever seen it? Who knows if it is true.
And it's really incomparable to the guy in front of me - he was there almost every time Lin Chou had a new dish.
Yes, that's right, Prince Huang of Huang Dashan is the monster on the scene.
Huang Dashan needs two hands to hold it firmly, otherwise the fish will sway along with the extremely flexible red willow branches.
Master Shan looked at the grilled fish for a while and suddenly said,
"I heard that fish's memory is only seven seconds!"
Everyone: "???"
What the hell does this guy want to do!
Huang Dashan said,
"If a fish on the grill forgets what happened seven seconds ago, will it think that it was born to be a fish that can swim in the fire?"
Everyone: "..."
There was silence for three seconds,
"Come, come, eat fish, eat fish."
"I'll rub it, this chili is so refreshing!"
"Hey, this is the first time in my life that I have eaten fish as solid as beef. It's so fresh."
The meat of crispy pork belly has been specially raised to be more crispy, tender and sweet, and has been dried for several days. Now the baked product has a real "crispy" texture, and there is a swell when your teeth bite it.
The process of Bu Bu's rebound.
Then, the fake cumin flavor and spiciness of the maidenhair rattle set off a storm in the mouth. The fish meat sliding into the mouth did not melt in the mouth and there was no splash of juice, but there was something like a mellow and plump fat lump rolling around in the mouth.
illusion.
"Emmmm, no wonder Boss Lin only brushed the oil with the seasonings when grilling. This fish is so fat..."
This evolved person's lips were coated with a layer of bright color and full of grease after one sip.
Especially the belly part is even more exaggerated, with the thickness reduced by half compared to the original fresh fish, but the fat is still seeping out.
Lin Chou scratched his head,
"Are they a little too fat? Then it seems I have to find a way to get them to exercise more..."
This group of evolvers immediately stopped working and said nonsensically,
"Don't, don't tell me, it's better to be fatter, it's better to be fatter!"
"The essence of the fish is all in this little bit of belly meat. After all, you still want to help people lose weight?"
"This kind of crunchy meat makes me want to eat fish raw..."
"On the top floor."
Lin Chou also took a few bites of it himself, especially after a group of people indicated that he had tasted the fish belly, and then he understood a little bit what they meant.
The skin of the belly part is charred and crispy, while the meat under the skin is just the opposite, soft, tender, elastic and slippery, just like a pool of naturally delicious soup stock.
In short, even Lin Chou found the taste of the fish belly amazing.
He held his chin and thought about it,
"This fish belly... doesn't seem right..."
Logically speaking, the feed should make the meat of this batch of fish become brittle and tough as a whole - shouldn't it be mutating again?
After consulting the system, the reply was that everything was normal.
Lin Chou breathed a sigh of relief,
"Am I really overthinking it?"
There can only be one reason why Boss Lin is so worried: losing money.
It’s not just once or twice that he has lost money and made money by making crispy pork buns. This is one of the few dishes that can be open to ordinary people. How can he be worthy of himself if he doesn’t hit him with a black knife several times?
With the takeaway business, there is no such thing as a high mountain and a long road. At this time, if something goes wrong, Boss Lin would rather choose a dog leash.
Fortunately.
Lin Chou thought about it carefully and asked the system to add a brand.
"Crispy pork belly, random cooking method, choose your own fish, 600 circulation points per catty, and the finished dish is extra."
Evolutionaries don't take it seriously. Anyway, this thing is just a fresh thing to eat once or twice.
Well, the high price is bound to put them off.
Of course, no one would be surprised if a dish using such fish as its raw material was priced high in Lao Xue's Bafanglou. But if it appears in Lin Chou, who always has a unique pricing method, I can only use one sentence to describe it.
——"There is no harm without comparison."
Compared with the "economical value" of exotic animal dishes, this crispy pork belly is particularly outstanding. The "ready-made dish" blinded everyone present.
"Pfft~"
"There is also such an operation..."
"Mmp, I just thought of one sentence, pay the price right away."
"One fish, six thousand!"
The origin of this fish is indeed a bit big. It eats broad beans and drinks wine. It needs to be raised for at least three months before it can be seen by everyone. The accumulated circulation points consumed by each fish every day will be a terrifying number.
He didn't think much about it when he first came up with this thing, but when it came to setting the price, he became obsessed with it.
Lin Chou gritted his teeth and made a total calculation.
"mad take jujube pills!"
This kind of price can be called "unconscionable". I'm afraid Mo Hongniang will come to your door tomorrow with the barrel of a gun.
Huang Dashan was sizzling from the grilled fish and said,
"Feeding broad beans to the fish, as you can imagine, those things are too expensive, three or four times the price of rice, and all they feed are circulation points."
"I think the price you set is a bit low. How could you lower the price on your own..."
A group of people responded,
"All these fish are fed by broad beans?"
"No wonder the price of Doubanjiang has increased again..."
"My living standard is not as good as Mr. Gungun, and I accept that it is not as good as a dog... Now I am not even as good as a fucking fish... I X..." (To be continued)
