Chapter 669: Turtle Gallbladder Removes the Smell

Hearing Li Yi's words, Wu Lei didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.

Brother Yi has determined his kidney deficiency!
In front of the chopping board, Li Yi slapped the turtle's back a few times with his left hand, and then squeezed inward on the turtle's hind feet.

Soon, the turtle's head, which had been retracted into the shell, stretched out.

Seeing this scene, Wu Lei was surprised: "Huh? Brother Yi, how did you get its head out? When I kill turtles at home, I stab it with chopsticks, let it bite the chopsticks, and pull out its head. of.

If you pinch it like this, how come it comes out on its own? "

Li Yi squeezed the tail of the turtle to make its head stretch as much as possible while explaining: "The space in the turtle's shell is limited. After the head is retracted, the buttocks will stick out and squeeze its abdomen. It will My head couldn’t shrink anymore and it came out on its own.”

While talking, Li Yi picked up the knife and dropped it with his hand.

Before anyone could react, the turtle's head had been chopped off.

"what!"

Zhao Jinmai was caught off guard and was so frightened that he covered his eyes and turned around to hug Liu Yifei.

Wu Lei and Huang Xiaoming both shivered, feeling a faint phantom pain.

In the live broadcast room, the barrage was also praising the exclamation point.

"!!!"

"Fuck! What a fast knife!"

"Hiss! I shrank when I saw it!"

"Brother Yi is so ignorant of martial ethics!"

"What a tragedy among the turtles!"

"Brother Yi, from now on I would like to respect you as Eunuch Li of the Cleansing House!"

"Fortunately, I shrank quickly and was almost hit by his knife."

"Are you afraid? I can shrink my Yang!"

"Yichun Yuantou brand Wei Chunhua once said that as long as this turtle shrinks its head and pokes its tail vertebrae with a sharp object, its head will pop out screaming."

"You'd better say turtle head."

In front of the chopping board, Li Yi picked up the turtle and poured the turtle's blood into a small bowl beside it.

Looking at the bright red turtle blood, Huang Xiaoming twitched the corner of his mouth, and then asked curiously: "I heard that drinking raw turtle blood seems to be beneficial, is it true?"

"The ancients said that."

Li Yi explained: "In ancient times, people believed that drinking soft-shell turtle blood mixed with wine can replenish tuberculosis, strengthen yang energy, replenish yin deficiency, and cure impotence, but in fact these are all false rumors.

There may be parasites and bacteria in the blood of raw turtle, so it is best not to drink it raw. It is better to heat and cook it before eating it. "

"I just said it must be fake."

Huang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "There are too many rumors like this, and many people have been deceived."

"Women have no resistance to beauty, men have aphrodisiacs, and the elderly have longevity."

Li Yi smiled, then looked at him and asked jokingly: "What? Have you ever been cheated?"

"No no."

Huang Xiaoming quickly denied it: "It's a friend of mine."

"Oh~!"

Wu Lei drawled his voice, said oh, and exchanged meaningful glances with Li Yi.

In the live broadcast room, comments from the audience floated by.

"Brother Xiao Ming, is this friend you are talking about yourself?"

"Cough cough!"

Huang Xiaoming was a little embarrassed when he saw the barrage.

Li Yi glanced at Li Yi with resentment, and he returned the favor: "How do you know that drinking turtle blood is useless?"

"..." Li Yi suddenly fell silent as he recalled the memory of possessing the Heavenly Eunuch Shuanglin.

"Cook and cook."

Li Yi put the drained soft-shelled turtle in a basin, and then boiled a pot of hot water.

When it was [-]% hot, Li Yi turned off the heat and poured the hot water into the basin.

While waiting, Li Yi explained: "Turtles are very fishy, ​​especially wild turtles, which have a stronger smell than farmed turtles.

The fishy smell of soft-shell turtles mainly comes from three major parts: oil, blood and outer mucous membrane.

Especially the outer mucous membrane, which is the main source of the turtle smell, cannot be cleaned by washing with water. It must be scalded with hot water.

We can scald it with hot water at 30 degrees for about [-] seconds. It is best not to scald it with boiling water. If you don't control it well, the hem of the skirt will be easily burned. "

As he spoke, the turtle was almost scalded.

Li Yi fished out the turtle with a colander and put it on the chopping board.

Taking the steel wool ball, he gently rubbed it on the edge of the turtle's back, and a layer of mucous membrane was rubbed off.

He pinched the mucous membrane and gently tore it open. The mucous membrane was completely torn open by him.

Soon, he tore off the mucous membrane of the whole turtle, as if it had peeled off a layer of skin.

He took the steel wire ball again and rubbed off the inner membrane above the turtle's back. After exposing the bones of the turtle's back, Li Yicai stopped.

Li Yi ran the knife along the inner edge of the back skirt behind the turtle's neck and cut around the carapace. A complete turtle shell was removed by Li Yi, revealing the internal organs inside.

Taking the scissors, Li Yi cut off the nails of the turtle's claws, and then cut off the liver and gallbladder of the turtle.

Then, Li Yi poked the turtle's gall smoothly, and the bright green bile fell down into the turtle meat below.

Seeing Li Yi's operation, an exclamation mark suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room.

"It's over! The gall is broken!"

"What are you doing, Brother Yi? Can you still eat it like this?"

"It seems to me that Brother Yi did it on purpose. Is there anything special about this?"

"Last time I killed a fish, I accidentally broke the gall and the whole fish was inedible."

While mixing the bile and the remaining turtle blood with his hands, and smearing it on the turtle meat, Li Yi glanced at the barrage.

Seeing doubts in the barrage, Li Yi explained casually: "Soft-shell turtle was one of the eight treasures in ancient times. It is full of treasures and can be used as medicine, especially turtle gall. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, turtle gall has astringent properties." It has the effects of stopping bleeding and fixing astringency, and also has the effects of lowering blood pressure, calming the liver, dispersing stagnation and relieving cough.

As a food, it is also a relatively special ingredient.

It is recorded in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that soft-shelled turtle gall is also called fragrant gall, which can be broken into soup to replace pepper and eliminate fishy smell.

This means that it has the effect of removing fishy smell.

When roasting soft-shelled turtles, if you want to remove the fishy smell to the greatest extent, soft-shelled turtle gall is the most critical condiment.

Unlike ordinary gall, the bitter taste of turtle gall is not that strong, but has a special sweet aroma.

After we tear it open, marinate the turtle meat with bile for 5 minutes to completely remove the fishy smell of the turtle. "

After hearing his words, the audience in the live broadcast room raised questions again.

"???"

"Really? Why didn't I know that turtle gall can also remove the smell?"

"Isn't it? Isn't bile bitter? Can it also remove fishy smell?"

At this time, many viewers also sent barrages and helped Li Yi respond.

"Squid gallbladders are indeed edible, as anyone who eats soft-shell turtles often knows."

"Isn't this common sense? Why don't so many people know about it?"

"My cousin owns a restaurant and sells turtles. Every time I go to eat, I make two glasses of wine with turtle blood and turtle bile. It's a great supplement!"

"Haha! My family is from Xinyang. When we cook turtle here, we must add turtle gall, otherwise the flavor will not be enough and you can eat it in one bite."
