Strange World Little Cooking Saint - 968. Chapter 951
Fresh cypress branches are used for bacon, and the effect is similar to that of pine, but which one of the two to choose depends on personal preference.
When Shi Yu returned with a bunch of cypress branches, he saw that the master had already marinated the ingredients.
He also made fish.
“Just put things outside the house.” Ye Yunfei didn’t have the slightest shelf. He was done with his work, and finally he went outside to help build a circle of bonfire pit with stones.
The frosty moonlight was particularly bright tonight, and all the stones on the ground were shining brightly. Since Shi Yu came to this world, he has never beaten anyone. Now, after running around the master and father, he feels like a gluttonous child, always following the ass of his elders.
“The barbecue rack has been set up too!” Shiyu greeted the room, and picked up the fat cat that was clumped up next to him. Although this guy resisted, she was still very rude. I slapped a few on its stomach, “This cat is so cute.”
“Be careful, it’s temperamental.” Ye Yunfei brought the fish out right now. He used a barbecue fork to skew the fish while talking about the cat’s origin. “When I was traveling, I almost looked at this guy. It was skinned and saved. Unexpectedly, it is also quite spiritual and has been following me all the way. Little fish liar, I’m almost exhausted by you.” The last sentence was clearly addressed to the fat cat.
Shi Yu held the cat’s hand slightly, feeling sour inexplicably.
On the verge of death, being able to be gently lifted from the hands of the wicked, no longer fearful. Such kindness is not retributable, and can only offer the loyalty of this life. Therefore, even if the person has passed away with the wind thousands of years later, there is still a cat working hard.
“It’s great.” Shi Yu squeezed the cat’s two claws. Now the fat cat definitely doesn’t like her to touch it. She can only take advantage of the opportunity to play a few more.
Ye Yunfei also stretched out his hand and rubbed the fat cat’s head, “I have eaten so much for you, why don’t you see any meat?”
The fat cat took the opportunity to step on his hand, jumped on his shoulder, turned his head and grinned at Shi Yuying, and then flicked his tail like a demonstration.
“It’s so cute!” Shi Yu was so cute by this guy. It turned out that the fat cat was so proud when he was young! As he said, he went forward and hugged it in his arms.
Fat cat: Nothing to love.
Ye Yunfei knew that the girl had little resistance to this fluffy animal. He allowed this person and a cat to be amused by him, and he lit a fire and covered it with fresh pine and cypress branches, and started to make smoked fish.
Smoked fish is actually a way of preserving ingredients, but it is also a delicacy if it is made properly.
The blazing high temperature did not expose the open flame because of the fresh branches, but this did not prevent its heat release. Cypress branches have a natural fragrance. If it is too strong, it will not smell particularly good, but if it is only light, it will be elegant and tangy.
As soon as the drained fish meat on the barbecue encounters a fire, the water on the skin quickly evaporates, and the color changes from shallow to dark. A pine and cypress, if there is nothing, thinks of being attached to it.
Ye Yunfei was not in a hurry to smoke the fish, but turned the fish over patiently. The fish is cut from the belly with one knife, and then spread out flat. The meat in the middle is thicker and the sides are thinner.
With the high-temperature scorching, the fish meat begins to harden and zoom along the edges, and the fat under the fish skin gradually melts, and you can see the appearance of the fish skin starting to scorch.
“You must not do this fast. If the fire is too big, the fish will meet the firewood, and the fire is too small, and the meat inside will not be cooked. You must be patient, otherwise the deliciousness will be ruined.”
“Um.”
This smoked fish has been smoked for half an hour. Fortunately, Ye Yunfei is more talkative. From time to time, some of the things he encountered in the past did not make the atmosphere too dull.
When the fish was ready, he turned off the fire, took out a dagger and began to cut the meat.
Shi Yu looked at the overwhelming emotion he was holding in his hand, and was thankful that he had only used the ordinary dagger before.
“Taste it.” The cut fish pieces were placed in front of Shiyu. Shiyu thanked him with a smile, and then twisted a piece into his mouth.
The meat on the surface of the smoked fish was crispy by the fire, and the moment it was bitten down, Shi Yu heard a crisp sound. The seasoning on the crispy fish is also very common, but it happens to be able to make the fish without losing its umami flavor.
When I chewed for the second bite, a surprise appeared. The fish inside was tender and delicious, and the fish juice burst out.
“This…” Shi Yu was surprised. Because of the special meat quality, it is difficult for the fish to have such an effect. And the water will evaporate to dryness in the process of smoking fish, it should not have this effect.
She stared at the opposite master, “How did you do it?”
Ye Yunfei laughed, “It’s simple, you just treat this fish as a container and don’t let the water run off. The surface is crispy, the inside is soft, and the double taste will surprise people.”
“I was indeed pleasantly surprised.” Shi Yu praised.
“But it’s not the biggest trick. The biggest trick is to spread the seasoning unevenly.”
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu twisted a second piece of smoked fish into his mouth. This piece of fish is much lighter than just now, and it doesn’t taste greasy.
“Uneven seasoning will make every bite of fish taste different. Who knows if the next bite will be a surprise.” Ye Yunfei smiled. He was very proud of this, because it was his own idea.
People don’t like the immutable things, even if they are peerlessly delicious, there are always times when they eat too much. Maybe a dish was shocked when it was first eaten, but at the end of it, it felt like it was nothing more than that.
The uneven seasoning will make this dish always keep a sense of surprise.
“So that’s the case.” Shi Yu felt that he had learned it again, “Thank you, senior, for telling me such a trick.”
“If you can learn, that’s your skill. Do you want to drink? I have a good wine made by myself.”
“You still make wine?”
“Cooking sometimes requires good wine. It is better to be self-sufficient than to beg others at that time.” Ye Yunfei said.
“I think so.”
Both the master and the apprentice thought of going together at this point.
The wine that Ye Yunfei took out was not particularly strong, and the two of them ate one bottle of wine, one bite of wine and one bite of meat, which was very pleasant.
I don’t know if the wine is too strong or the meat is too fragrant, which attracts an uninvited guest.
“Ye Yunfei, you secretly drink and eat meat without calling me!”
If he touched it so quietly, it was naturally only the wretched little old man.
When Shi Yu was about to greet him, he listened to the master’s father: “Fantasy Floating Life, if I remember correctly, Sect Master Fantasy seems to have banned you from drinking.”
“That’s why I came quietly! Hurry up, the wine is, before my senior sister has found it, how many sips I can drink.”
