230, snake soup
After eliminating the hidden danger of the python, Chen Zhe, Yan'er and Xiao Qiao can continue to pick chicken fir fungus in the dense forest without any worries.
However, since the menu for the evening has been changed from fried chicken fir mushrooms with ham to snake soup, the choice of ingredients will also have to change a little.
If you make fried chicken fir mushrooms with ham, then the ingredients are just simple chicken fir mushrooms, and now they are replaced with snake soup, and the ingredients are more complex and fine.
Snake soup is a Cantonese cuisine, and Cantonese cuisine is known for its fastidiousness, attention and delvefulness in food.
When Chen Zhe was a martial arts stand-in in Hengdian in his last life, he often frequented a local Cantonese restaurant, and he often talked with the boss and learned a lot about the practices and styles of Cantonese cuisine.
So if you want to cook a good snake soup, only chicken fir mushrooms and python meat are not enough.
Just when Yan'er and Xiao Qiao were still burying their heads in picking chicken fir mushrooms, Chen Zhe got up and walked to the side.
"Brother Xiao Chen, where are you going?" asked Yan'er curiously.
"Oh, I'm going to find some other ingredients. Chen Zhe said with a smile.
Walking deeper along the dense forest, Chen Zhe's eyes stayed on the roots and trunks of the trees.
This sunny and humid climate is ideal for the growth of fungi, and the important ingredients of snake soup also live here.
Chen Zhe soon found his target, but the fungus growing here was not the same as what he was looking for.
It is a golden-yellow, bright fungus that looks similar to glial fungi such as fungus and white fungus.
In fact, it is indeed the same as these glial fungi, but the color is different from theirs.
What Chen Zhe was looking for before was just ordinary black fungus, which is a very important seasoning in snake soup as a side dish, but there is obviously no black fungus in this area, and some are just this golden fungus.
Chen Zhe's gaze swept over, and the system quickly gave a hint:
[Item detected: A high-quality golden fungus.] 】
"It's actually a golden ear ......," Chen Zhe said in surprise.
As the name suggests, golden fungus is naturally a golden fungus, which has a very high value in colloidal fungi, and its nutritional content is much higher than that of white fungus and black fungus.
However, it is reasonable to think that since this dense forest can breed the king of fungi such as chicken fir fungus, it is not surprising that it can breed fungus at the level of golden fungus.
Seeing these brightly colored mushrooms, Chen Zhe couldn't help but be aroused by his appetite, and he didn't hesitate to pick handfuls of golden fungus one after another, and walked back to Yan'er and Xiao Qiao with them, putting them together with chicken fir mushrooms.
Seeing these magical mushrooms, Xiao Qiao and Yan'er were also curious.
"Chen Zhe, what are these things? Why do they look a bit like fungus, but they are golden ......," Xiao Qiao asked.
"That's right, they're golden fungus, and the scientific name is golden fungus. "They're a very nutritious glial mushroom, and they're also delicious." ”
Hearing the word "delicious", Xiao Qiao, a gluttonous cat, subconsciously licked his lips.
Yan'er couldn't wait to say, "Wow...... I'd love to try it. ”
"Don't worry, you'll be able to taste it sooner or later. Chen Zhe said with a smile.
With that, he put down the golden fungus and began to forage for a second time, this time not vegetables or fungi, but something else.
He remembered that when the python came just now, a few wild birds flew away in the treetops not far away, and he glanced around and saw that it should be a bird's nest.
The rainy season is also an important season for bird breeding, and since there are nests, there are naturally eggs.
According to his memory just now, Chen Zhe went to the bird's nest on the branch to dig out the eggs, and all the adult birds in the nest were scared away by the python, leaving only some eggs that had just been laid and had not yet had time to hatch.
With a gentle dig, Chen Zhe touched several bird eggs that were round, slightly smaller than eggs, but had a very similar feel.
He carefully took out these eggs and held them in his hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Wild Bird, these eggs have just been born by you anyway, and they haven't hatched yet...... The rainy season is still very long, so you can have more children, thank you, thank you......"
After speaking, Chen Zhe took out all the eggs in the bird's nest, a total of six.
Originally, eggs were a necessary ingredient for making snake soup, but of course they could not be found on the wild islands, so they could only be replaced by bird eggs for the time being.
Yan'er and Xiao Qiao were also very surprised to see that Chen Zhe actually found this kind of egg.
"Amazing, Chen Zhe, I didn't expect there to be eggs to eat in the wilderness. ”
"yes, we haven't eaten eggs in a long time......"
After a long circle in the wild, Chen Zhe and Yan'er finally collected the ingredients for making snake soup, seeing that the time was not early, Chen Zhe dragged the heavy python, Yan'er and Xiao Qiao carried other ingredients on their backs, and happily returned to the camp together.
Da Qiao, who was guarding the house in the tree house, saw that a few people had not come back for a long time, and was standing at the window looking in the direction of the dense forest worriedly, until he saw the figures of the three people, and Da Qiao's face showed a look of relief.
"It's back......," she muttered, and quickly turned down the treehouse to meet them.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, Da Qiao vaguely saw Chen Zhe holding a rugby-sized snake head, while dragging the snake's thick and slender body, moving back step by step.
The python was so frightened that Da Qiao almost stumbled and fell to the ground, and his pupils contracted violently.
"Snake ...... Snake!" Da Qiao shouted as he pointed to the big python in Chen Zhe's arms.
However, for Da Qiao's frightened state, Chen Zhe was very calm.
"Yes, it's a snake, and that's our dinner. Chen Zhe smiled and said, "Mengyun, shall we make snake soup tonight?"
Da Qiao was speechless, and hurriedly trotted all the way over to take a closer look at the big python that had lost his breath.
Its hideous face and the patterns on its body are terrifying at a glance, and the terrifying scale armor is even more flickering.
The most terrifying thing is that although the snake is dead, its yellow eyes are still open, as if it is dead.
"Oh my God......"
It took a long time for Da Qiao to regain his language function and said,
"Chen Zhe, what's going on? Did you meet a python outside?"
"Yes. Chen Zhe lightly recounted the story, "We were ambushed by this python when we were picking chicken fir mushrooms, but don't worry, it's dead now." ”
"Oh my God...... How did you kill this snake? Chen Zhe, did you kill it?" Da Qiao asked in disbelief.
After all, this snake is so terrifying, thick and strong, it looks like it can easily strangle anyone, including Chen Zhe.
Da Qiao really couldn't figure out how Chen Zhe killed this snake.
At this time, Xiao Qiao looked at his sister with a wicked smile, and deliberately made a difficult question and said, "Sister, you might as well guess, guess how Chen Zhe killed this big python." ”
"Hmm......" Da Qiao squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and then his eyes involuntarily looked at the python's body.
She wasn't stupid and knew to check the cause of the python's death first.
If you want to know the method of Chen Zhe's massacre, you must first observe the cause of death of this python.
"Hmmm......"
After observing for a while, Da Qiao immediately saw several wounds similar to bite marks on Python Mountain, and then thought of the crocodile leather armor worn by Chen Zhe, she immediately realized.
"I know, it's Chen Zhe's crocodile leather armor. The crocodile leather armor on Chen Zhe's body was quenched with poison, and it was these pythons that were poisoned and killed......"
Da Qiao said methodically,
"It must have been Chen Zhe who was entangled by the python first, and when this big python wanted to strangle Chen Zhe, its torso was pierced by the crocodile teeth of the crocodile skin armor on Chen Zhe's body......
In this way, the venom of the poison dart frog penetrated into the bloodstream and directly poisoned the python. ”
Hearing that Da Qiao guessed the answer at once, Xiao Qiao was stupid.
After that, she shook her head in frustration and said depressedly: "It's really boring, you actually guessed it at once, I thought you would guess for a long time." ”
Big Joe laughed and said, "You think everyone is like you and a fool." ”
"You're a fool!hmph, stinky old lady!" Little Joe said with a pout.
Da Qiao pinched his sister's fair and delicate beautiful face, and then said, "Then what are we going to eat at night?"
Chen Zhe rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll make snake soup for you at night, so that I can also show my cooking skills." ”
"Snake soup?"
When Da Qiao heard this, her eyes lit up, she had tasted snake soup a few times when she went to the southeast before, and knew that this was a very classic Cantonese dish, but she didn't expect that she could still taste snake soup in the wilderness now.
"Great. Big Joe said expectantly, "Then I'll wait to try your craft." ”
"No problem. Chen Zhe said with a smile.
asked Yan'er and Xiao Qiao to put down the ingredients, and Chen Zhe began to work intensively.
The first thing is to skin the python, and you have to peel off the sturdy and flexible python skin to dry.
The next step is to take the meat, select some good, tender snake meat from the middle of the snake, rinse it repeatedly, and throw it into the pot to cook.
While cooking the snake meat, Chen Zhe began to prepare other ingredients, washed and cut the chicken fir mushrooms and golden fungus for later use, and put them aside to wait for the pot.
After the snake meat is cooked and cooled, Chen Zhe needs to carefully peel the snake meat into shreds, which is a very complicated process and requires patience, but it is precisely because the snake meat is peeled into thin shreds that the cooked snake soup is more delicious.
Finally, when the snake meat is processed into one by one, the snake soup begins to be officially cooked.
First, cut out a few pieces of ham with fatty meat, throw them into the casserole and stir-fry repeatedly, and the bonfire must be burned to the fullest, so that the fat in the ham meat can be stirred.
The fat of the ham was roasted by the fire, and the hot oil immediately came out, so the cooked shredded snake meat was thrown into the oil pan and began to stir-fry quickly and repeatedly.
The scent is already coming out.
Xiao Qiao and Yan'er were already crying.
The director of the program team also broadcast this scene live, and now netizens in the entire live broadcast room are watching Chen Zhe cook.
Seeing the golden lard cooking and frying the tender shredded snake meat, the pleasant sound filled the entire live broadcast room, and netizens were no longer calm, and their gluttonous saliva flowed.
"The kid next door is crying......"
"I didn't expect Chen Zhe's cooking skills to be so good. ”
"It's a fragrant pot of snake meat, you don't need to cook snake soup, you can eat it directly......"
"No, I'm going crazy with hunger. ”
"I'm so greedy, really. ”
"I want to go to Chen Zhe's camp to eat......
"I want to do it too!!"
“……”
After the shredded snake meat was fried, Chen Zhe carefully beat all the eggs he took.
When beating eggs, peel off the egg whites and yolks with the egg shell, fix the egg yolk on the egg shell, and pour the egg white diagonally into a clay bowl.
Chen Zhe's skillful operation once again conquered netizens.
“6666……”
"Chen Zhe is showing off again. ”
"Peeling off the egg whites and yolks with your bare hands, you look like an old driver. ”
"I didn't expect Chen Zhe to be an expert in cooking. ”
"I thought Yan'er was the culinary leader of this group, but I didn't expect Chen Zhe to be the hidden boss!"
“……”
At this time, Chen Zhe put the fried shredded snake meat into the egg white liquid, so that the shredded meat was evenly coated with the egg liquid, so that the snake meat was processed.
Next, continue to stir-fry the fat of the ham with oil, stir-fry a pot of thick, golden lard, and stir-fry the chopped chicken fir mushrooms in the oil pan to let the chicken fir mushrooms be stained with piping hot lard up and down.
Pour in a pot of clear mountain spring water, and then throw in the fried shredded snake meat.
Finally, put in the processed golden fungus and sprinkle with a handful of sea salt, so that the ingredients for a pot of snake soup are complete.
As long as you cover the lid of the casserole and simmer quietly for half an hour, the tender and delicious snake soup will come out of the pot.
However, because of the previous frying and frying, the aroma of snake meat has drifted out, and the three girls who are watching are already hungry and their eyes are green, and they are greedily looking at the casserole and drooling.
"Chen Zhe, your cooking skills are too good, right? Big Joe asked.
Chen Zhe smiled: "I just happen to only make this snake soup, and the other dishes have to rely on Yan'er." ”
Yan'er said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Chen, don't be modest, I know your cooking skills, before roasting bird meat and roasting rabbit meat, what you grilled was better than what I baked." ”
Chen Zhe scratched the back of his head and said in his heart - that's because I used the item upgrade system to open the hanging......
But of course, this kind of truth can't be said, and can only be hidden in the depths of my heart.
The four of them couldn't wait around the casserole for half an hour, and when the bright moon rose, the pot of snake meat soup was finally ready.
Chen Zhe gently lifted the lid, and a rich and fragrant smell wafted out.
There is no doubt that they will have the most delicious meal they have had since arriving on the island tonight......
