Chapter 786: Internet oil steams the river group

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng had already dealt with Jiang Tuan, Mr. Li shook his head slightly and still complained about this.

Because when cooking, I always do it myself without anyone’s help. All the steps of a dish from beginning to end should be completed by myself.

This is not only the rule of Mr. Li, but also the habit and ethics that a professional chef has developed over the years. Only the ingredients that have been processed by himself can be as clear as a mirror.

Although he had no doubts about Chu Yunfeng's cooking skills, Mr. Li still picked up the Jiangtuan and checked every place to see if he had handled it thoroughly.

After the inspection was correct, Mr. Li nodded gently. Although he was helpless, he could only accept it silently.

In the past, the place where this kind of fish appeared most in Sichuan was Leshan, located in the Pingqiang Three Gorges, which is the intersection of the Central District of LS City and Qingshen County of Meishan.

It was called Huxiang Gorge in the Song Dynasty and Pingqiang Three Gorges in the Ming Dynasty. It is about 12 kilometers long. There is a "fish nest" in the gorge, which is the famous origin of Jiang Tuan fish.

Nowadays, artificial breeding of Jiangtuan has begun in the surrounding areas, so it is still not easy to specially send a fish from a place about 150 kilometers away.

Moreover, these are two custom-made oversized river balls, and it is understandable to be a little regretful that they were delivered separately in such a hot weather.

The four people standing nearby were all concentrating on how Mr. Li handled the fish. Only Mu Qing was the easiest. It was enough to understand the making process. The key was to taste the delicious food in a while.

boiling water!
Mr. Li's first step was to pour boiling water on Jiang Tuan's body to ensure that every place was wet. Chu Yunfeng understood immediately that this was to remove the layer of mucus on Jiang Tuan's body.

Since it is steamed, this layer of mucus must be removed, otherwise the mucus will not only look disgusting after steaming, but also have a strong fishy smell.

After lightly ironing it, Mr. Li then gently began to scrape it with his hands, easily removing the mucus on the surface.

After cleaning it, Mr. Li picked up the inconspicuous-looking kitchen knife placed on the table.

"Hey~!

This knife is not bad, it feels good in the hand! "

As soon as he took it, Mr. Li couldn't help but admire it. He touched the blade with his hand and then weighed it. He felt very satisfied.

"This is a knife that was recently ordered. It's just a little heavy."

Chu Yunfeng saw that Mr. Li was a little interested, so he "explained" it to him. In fact, this knife was a reward from the system, called the Meteoric Star Knife.

The weight is more than twice that of an ordinary kitchen knife. When I first started using it, I was not used to it. Although it is very sharp, it requires a lot of wrist strength.

Fortunately, I had just upgraded my physical fitness to one level, so it became much easier to use. Especially the Qiwensi Tofu, the speed increased by 20%.

"What a great knife. Where did you order it? Come back and get me one too!"

The knife was driven like an arm in Mr. Li's hand. With a few strokes, the fish was cut open. Each knife was like a breeze blowing through the willows, gently passing over the fish.

Immediately afterwards, you can see a clear knife mark revealed. This should not be called knife skills, but knife skills.

This made Chu Yunfeng a little shocked, and then he realized that Mr. Li's profound knife skills were so extraordinary, and his wrist strength seemed to be even higher than that of a young man like himself.

I guess in a fight, I might still be defeated!

It seems that Mr. Li really thinks this knife is easy to use. He has a happy smile on his face and is very satisfied with the even pattern on the fish.

Regarding the request made by Mr. Li, Chu Yunfeng immediately showed a look of astonishment. Does the old man want to "customize" one?
If this knife is really customized, then of course there is no problem. I will definitely get him a better one than this one.

But this thing is not a street product. You can buy it if you want to buy it. It is sold in the system mall, but the problem is that it requires hundreds of millions of experience points, so where can I get it back?

"They said last time that this knife was made with some extraterrestrial iron. It's useless to make another one of the same kind. If you like it, just use it. I'll go buy another one later. "

There's no way, since the old man is interested, let's give it to the old man, and look back to see if he can win the lottery.

However, it is probably difficult to get the five-star knife, and it should be possible to get the 4-star and 3-star knives.

"Made of meteorite?
No wonder it's so sharp and heavy.

Forget it, since this thing is so rare, just keep it and use it. I don’t want to take away people’s love, haha! "

As a chef, it's normal for them to have a natural, irresistible attraction to special knives and kitchen utensils.

The more skilled a chef is, the higher his requirements for kitchen utensils and knives are. However, it is often difficult to find a kitchen knife that is close to him and that he likes very much.

And once you meet someone, you will definitely not be able to put it down, but although you like it in your heart, you won’t force it. It’s just that the fate has not yet arrived.

"Then I'll help you keep an eye on it and bring back a good knife."

Chu Yunfeng knew that Mr. Li was true to his word and would not take it even if he gave it to him forcibly. However, after hearing Chu Yunfeng's words, Mr. Li nodded slightly and seemed to still believe in Chu Yunfeng's luck. .

Since I can find such a good kitchen knife, it is not surprising to have a second one, it is naturally my fate.

Guo Kui and Hu Yue didn't think much of this knife because they both had tried it. The knife felt a bit awkward to use, and it was still a bit difficult to use it.

Because it is indeed much heavier compared to ordinary knives, and the wrist strength is not enough, it is not as easy to use as the knives that I am used to. Therefore, the feeling in my heart is not as profound as that of Mr. Li and Chu Yunfeng.

After opening a little bit of flowers on both sides of the river, Mr. Li put some water in a small basin, patted the green onions and ginger and threw them in.

Then I added a spoonful of pepper and a little salt, then poured in a little high-strength white wine, and finally started stirring.

What happened next made the three professional chefs' eyes widen. It was the first time they saw such a step in steaming and cooking fish. It was really the first time they saw it. It really opened their eyes.

I saw Mr. Li put the whole fish into the basin and let it soak in it, obviously to remove the fishy smell.

soak?

And it’s still soaked in whole!

It seems that such a method is rarely seen, and no other chef has ever seen it done this way. It makes sense for Mr. Li to do this.

But I couldn't ask, so I had to think silently why I needed to soak it instead of just adding salt and white wine and spreading it evenly?

After soaking for a full 10 minutes, none of the three people made any sound, they just carefully thought about the mystery of these steps in their hearts.

When Mr. Li started to take out the pork net oil, the three people had different thoughts.

However, it is generally inseparable from the purpose of removing fishy smell, and the second thing should be to taste.

Pork oil?
This stuff is not unfamiliar to Chu Yunfeng at all. Some time ago in the capital, Master Lin used this stuff to make a steamed chicken. The taste was indescribably delicious.

After returning, Chu Yunfeng also taught Guo Kui and Hu Yue how to make this dish, and the pork belly and bean sprouts in the chicken belly were "wasted" by Chu Yunfeng, adding Wotou to accompany it.

In this way, it becomes a dish with two meals, and the flavor is extremely good.

In particular, the steamed buns made with cornmeal have a hint of the sweet taste of corn, and they are also very effective in maintaining health.

I saw Mr. Li opening the net oil, and then wrapping the entire river ball starting from the fish head.

When wrapping, I wrap it slowly bit by bit, and it is wrapped very tightly, leaving almost no extra gaps.

In this way, a lot of netting oil is needed. It took 6 pieces of netting oil to wrap up this big river ball weighing more than five kilograms.

It was also a blessing that Chu Yunfeng was making the dish of Bao Roast Chicken, otherwise the oil would not have been enough. It was usually difficult to buy this item. Fortunately, Chu Yunfeng was a big customer, so some was left for him.

Seeing the Jiang Tuan wrapped like "zongzi", Chu Yunfeng had a hint of enlightenment in his heart and gained a new understanding of this practice.

Although Mr. Li didn't say anything, Chu Yunfeng knew that the meat of fish with relatively fat meat like Jiang Tuan is very delicious.

If it is steamed naked according to the usual method, a large part of the umami and aroma of the fish body will be lost, and the meat will taste a little bit woody.

However, after wrapping it with net oil, all the fragrance and moisture of Jiangtuan are completely locked, and will not be lost or lost during the steaming process.

And the most important thing is the special thing like pork net oil, which has a very special aroma, and its biggest feature is moisturizing.

This is the biggest feature of the oil. After being heated, the aroma emitted by the oil will be directly immersed into the fish meat, fully integrating with the umami flavor of the fish itself, and complementing each other.

Only when the steaming is successful will you know how fragrant and smooth the fish tastes.

"I'm lucky today!"

Chu Yunfeng saw Mr. Li put the Jiang Dumpling into a big bowl, then placed it directly on the big steamer and started steaming it, and told Mu Qing the good news in advance.

"Is it really as tender and smooth as the legend says?"

Mu Qing had heard of this dish before, but had never had the chance to see it because there were very few people who knew how to cook it.

Moreover, the wild Jiangtuan has been protected again, so there is no chance to taste its unique delicious taste.

"Well, it's absolutely delicious. It breaks with the slightest touch of chopsticks, and it melts in your mouth. If you like a light taste, just add some light soy sauce.

If you just want to taste the freshness, you don’t need any dipping sauce, it will definitely taste fragrant and plump. "

After understanding the advantages of this method, Chu Yunfeng knew how delicious the fish meat would be, and made some suggestions based on Mu Qing's taste.

"Well, I must try it later. If it is so delicious, I will eat it once a week."

When it comes to light and delicious food, Mu Qing has no resistance. Just like clear soup, you won't feel tired after eating one portion every morning.

"No problem, I can make it for you even if you want to eat it every day, but I seem to only have time in the morning, but it seems a bit late to make it in this store?"

The first half of Chu Yunfeng's words were very straightforward, but the second half was mixed with a hint of personal information. Although he said it very tactfully, how could Mu Qing not hear the taste inside.

"Isn't it too late? Then forget it, my taste has not been very good recently. If you don't want to do it, I don't want to eat it either!"

I know what bad idea this guy is thinking, he just wants me to move there. It really took a lot of thought.

But Mu Qing didn't want to accept the move, so just let him worry.

After Chu Yunfeng heard this, he was not discouraged. Instead, when everyone was not paying attention, he put his hands directly around Mu Qing's waist and asked, "Bad appetite? Could it be that you have it?"

Hmm~?

Have?

This guy is actually teasing himself, just to see if I don't give him any color!

Mu Qing's hand also quietly wrapped around Chu Yunfeng's waist. Chu Yunfeng felt this sudden movement and his face lit up, thinking it was a surprise.

But the huge force coming from his waist in the next second almost made him scream. The sudden appearance of this life-threatening soul-chasing choke made him feel so "refreshed".

"Pain, pain, pain, let go"

Chu Yunfeng gritted his teeth and slapped Mu Qing's hand. This action was a little too big, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Facing the inquiring gaze directed at him, Chu Yunfeng's grinning face immediately transformed into a calm look, making Mu Qing couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

"Is this bamboo steamer still new? The steaming smell will be more fragrant in a while. Just wait, it will take at least 45 minutes to steam."

Mr. Li's eyes were very vicious. He had noticed the little moves between the two of them a long time ago. After laughing silently, he said a time that surprised everyone.

More than 45 minutes?
How long does it take?

Normally, steamed fish usually takes up to 15 minutes, but the fish wrapped in oil takes so long?
All three of them felt a little confused.

But Chu Yunfeng understood it, and he said to Guo Kui and Hu Yue: "It will only take 45 minutes if the firepower is high. If the firepower is slightly smaller, it will take an hour.

This new bamboo steamer will have a hint of the fragrance of bamboo, and the taste will be even different when steamed. The fish is very thick, and it will naturally take more time to wrap it in raw net oil. Let’s wait a little longer. . "

Guo Kui and Hu Yue nodded, understanding the trick.

When about 45 minutes passed, Mr. Li began to cut the onion, ginger and red pepper into shreds, cut the lettuce into thin slices of beef tongue, and put it into the pot with water.

At about 10-[-] minutes, Mr. Li started to heat a little hot oil, then opened the lid of the steamer, and a fragrant smell immediately filled the store.

Everyone had smelled this fragrant and rich smell when it was steamed before, and now it has deepened a lot, making the nose almost melt.

Mr. Li placed the lettuce slices at the bottom of the bowl, poured a little soy sauce on the steamed fish, then placed onion, ginger and red pepper shreds on the fish, and poured it over with hot oil. The aroma immediately burst out.

At this time, the beef deliveryman knocked on the door. As soon as Chu Yunfeng opened the door, the aroma of the store spread out.
