Chapter 1237: Three Squirrels
A soup, countless stories.
If there is any kind of soup with such charm in the history of Chinese cuisine, the first recommendation is the sea bass soup!
The wonderful combination of the two is not only the favorite of modern people, it has been very famous in ancient China, has been popular with many people, and even countless famous poems and sentences have been handed down.
The Tang Dynasty in China, an era with the strongest national strength, was popular with sea bass soup with vegetables and vegetables, conquering high-ranking officials and nobles at the top, and attracting the people of Li at the bottom.
Bai Guyi's "Occasional Yin": "There are still perch and lettuce, and I may plan to go to Jiangdong in spring."
Pi Rixiu's "Xisai Mountain Fisherman": "The rain comes and the boat slips, and the perch falls into fishing after spring."
Yuan Zhen's "Twelve Rhymes of Rewarding Friends and Sealing the Old Narrative": "The silver silk of the Ulva is tender, and the perch is fat with snow flakes".
These are all poems that praise the wonderful taste of the pairing of lettuce and sea bass.
In the Great Song Dynasty of China, people's love for sea bass soup has increased instead of decreasing.
There is a famous sentence in Xin Qiji's "Water Dragon Yin": "Hugh said that the perch is good, the west wind is exhausted, and the season eagle has not returned."
Su Dongpo also has a wonderful sentence: "Ji Ying is really a fairy in the water, and he is a perch and a virtuous person."
Ouyang Xiu wrote a very emotional poem for Zhang Han: "The clear words are not inferior to the name of Jiangdong, and it is difficult to understand the hidden words of Chu Gui." Homesickness suddenly rises from the autumn wind, white clams and sea bass".
It's all about the best of this dish.
Even the history of this delicacy can be pushed back to the Great Jin Dynasty in China, and there is a clear record of the sea bass in the ancient masterpiece "Book of Jin".
It can be said that although this dish may seem simple, it has a long historical significance, and it has almost run through most of the history of China, which shows that it is extraordinary.
Of course, this delicacy was also loved by Shen Wansan, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, and was used by him as a family banquet to entertain distinguished guests, and was listed as one of the eight bowls of Wansan.
It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of fame, this soup may not be the loudest in the bowl, but in terms of history, it is definitely the oldest.
Eating this delicacy is more precisely a taste of Chinese history and a taste of thousands of years of life.
Now, Ye Fei is going to present this delicacy in front of everyone.
Ulva is rare in the north, but it is not rare for southerners, because there is a lot of water in the south, and there are many lakes and rivers, so there are many lettuce, and it can be said that it is a frequent guest on the dinner table of southerners.
It tastes smooth and delicate, and although it is tasteless in the mouth, the taste is unforgettable.
Ye Fei took out a transparent bowl from the storage compartment, and there was something as dark green as half a bowl of tea leaves in this bowl.
He picked up a little and put it in the palm of his hand to show everyone, and said: "This is Ulva cabbage, also known as water anemone, known as one of the three famous dishes in the south of the Yangtze River, so some people will ask what the other two famous dishes are, one is the white water, and the other is ...... It!"
As he spoke, Ye Fei directly took out a fish from the storage compartment, this fish was jumping around, and in Ye Fei's hand, it kept shaking its head and tail, and the tail even pulled on the back of Ye Fei's hand, making a snapping sound.
Ye Fei raised the fish in his hand and said, "Perch! That's right, the three famous dishes in the south of the Yangtze River, Shui Bai, Ulva and Sea Bass, we occupy two kinds of this cuisine, that is, Ulva and Sea Bass, the best combination of the two famous dishes, the wonderful collision of the two delicious, will give this food a unique taste and texture, let's start doing it now." β
Killing fish, Ye Fei is also very good at it, not to mention since the start of the broadcast, even when he was a chef apprentice in the past, he didn't kill fish, so his movements are very skillful and smooth.
Just when Ye Fei was dealing with the perch, the audience in the live broadcast room was in turmoil.
Why?
Because of this delicacy, the food that is paired with two of the three famous dishes in Jiangnan is absolutely delicious and outrageous.
"It turns out that the three famous dishes in Jiangnan are these three, and I have seen it for a long time. β
"Sea bass, this fish itself is extremely delicious, whether it is made into soup, steamed or stir-fried, it can be said that it is extremely delicious. β
"Why didn't Ye Shen introduce this perch where it is?"
"Introduce a hair, you just need to know that Ye Shen has never used ordinary ingredients for our live broadcast, this sea bass is fat and jubilant, and it is not ordinary without thinking about it. β
"We also have this soup here, so let's go back and ask my mother to make one. β
"Brother, let Mom do more, I'll give you the address, pack it for me and send me a copy." β
β........ Two hundred. β
"I rub. β
The internal organs of the sea bass are removed, and at the same time, the bones are also removed, and this delicacy is eaten with the meat and flavor of the sea bass, and it is to be used in the soup, so there is no need to use the bones, as long as the fish is fine.
Ye Fei picked up two pieces of fish meat with his hands, and saw that the fish meat was crystal clear, as if it was made of the best white jade, dangling in Ye Fei's hands, luring everyone's eyes and seducing everyone's appetite.
"This fish is really Tai Chi, this color, this crystalline, you don't need to cook it at all, just do it into sashimi, Lao Tzu can do it all." β
"Damn, let alone make sashimi, I can eat these two pieces without doing anything." β
"Don't talk about it, I'll tell you just now, although Ye Shen didn't introduce these two sea bass, they are definitely the best. β
Ye Fei showed the audience two pieces of perch meat, then put them on the cutting board, cut them all into slices of perch meat with an oblique knife, and put them in a celadon bowl.
"Here we cut the sea bass into fillets, of course, you can also cut them into shreds, this is done according to personal preference, now the fillets are cut, and then we will syrup and marinate them first. β
Saying that, Ye Fei added refined salt, cooking wine, and an appropriate amount of monosodium glutamate to the celadon bowl, then added two egg whites to it, mixed it gently, added wet starch to it for sizing, and then put it aside for later use.
Take out the boiling pot here, add water, put the shredded lettuce into the boiling water, wait until the water is ready, take it out, and put it in a plate for later use.
With all this in order, the next step is to officially start the preparation of this delicacy.
Put the wok on the stove, turn on the heat to heat the pot, Ye Fei scooped a piece of solid oil from a small transparent bowl and put it in.
As the oil was put into the pot, I saw it melt quickly, and then it emitted a strong fragrance.
"Uh~~ lard?"
"Damn, this lard is beautiful, it looks superb, you look at this color, it's like ivory. β
The audience was a little concerned about the lard.
After the lard melts, heat it again for a while, and when the oil is ready, bring the battered marinated sea bass fillets, gently slide them into the pot, and then carefully slide them away with a spoon, and when the fish turns jade white, use a colander to scoop it all up.
The oil in the pot was not poured, which made the audience in the live broadcast room very satisfied, at least not defeated.
Take the chopped green onion from the side, put it all into the pot, stir-fry to bring out the aroma, then add the appropriate amount of cooking wine, refined salt, and finally add a bowl of golden-red soup.
"Ye Shen, this soup is ......," Rod asked on the side.
Ye Fei sighed and said, "Chicken soup, an old soup that has been boiled for a week." β
"A week's old soup?!"
Lao Han and Ferris Pillar all jumped up, and it was the first time that they had heard that there was soup that could be boiled for a week.
Seeing the surprised expressions of the two people, the earth audience in the live broadcast room all pouted, and said in their hearts, Tubaozi, what is a week's soup, Ye Shen has also used a century-old soup, if you let you know, you won't be scared to death?
Ye Fei just smiled and continued his own operation.
After the chicken soup is put in, turn on the high heat to boil the soup, pick up the green onion segments inside and put them on another plate, then add a small amount of refined salt and ginger shreds, and then add a little starch to thicken it, then put the sea bass meat and boiled water into it, and at the same time put in the shredded ham, shredded chicken and shredded green onions, gently push it in the pot with a spoon, wait until all the ingredients in the pot are mixed evenly, and cook for a while, Ye Fei then sprinkled two slices of tangerine peel and a little pepper into it, and directly turned off the fireγ
That's right, this dish is okay here.
He took a clean celadon basin from the side, then picked up the pot and carefully poured the soup into the basin.
Ye Fei's every move was as if in front of everyone's eyes, how to deal with the fish and meat, how to deal with the lettuce, everyone saw it clearly, and when the soup in the pot began to steam, the aroma also came out, looking at the bubbling excellent Ulva sea bass soup in the pot, smelling the fresh fragrance that went straight to the heart and lungs, it can be said that many people's saliva flowed out uncontrollably.
Finally, when Ye Fei poured the soup into the basin, Ye Fei saw a milky white ball of light appear, rise, and explode.
Suddenly, a more fragrant and rich smell came to the face, arousing everyone's appetite, although the lettuce is tasteless, but this sea bass is too fresh and fragrant, this aroma is full of the surrounding air, I can't wait to render the surrounding air into a sea bass pond.
The rewards and messages in the live broadcast room never stopped at all, and no one thought that Ye Fei just made a simple soup, and it would be so superb and so classic.
In fact, Ye Fei himself was a little surprised, he didn't expect this soup to taste so delicious, it seems that he can make more in the future, and give Lao Mo and his gang a taste.
A portion of the sea bass soup was ready, Ye Fei looked at the three of Lao Han, and found that the eyes of the three of them were all staring directly at the basin, as if they were about to pounce.
"I'll send it myself. β
Ye Fei was a little uneasy when he saw the expressions of the three people, and he didn't let them help serve it, he himself carried a pot of soup and put it on the bamboo table, and then covered it with a transparent lid.
As soon as he was about to turn back, he felt that something was wrong under the table, and when he bent down to look down, he was speechless, and saw three "squirrels" squatting under the table.
Ye Fei has seen this kind of squirrel, and he came over during the last live broadcast, at first it was one, and then a group came over, but he drove away the interstellar milk tea, why did he come over again?
Lao Han and the audience in the live broadcast room were very curious when they saw Ye Fei suddenly bending down to look under the table.
"Ye Shen, what's going on?"
"Damn, did something happen again?"
"What are Ye Shen looking at?"
"Hell knows, the camera can't see under the table. β
After Lao Han and the three of them came over, they all looked under the table, and when they saw the three squirrels squatting side by side under the table, the three of them couldn't smile bitterly.
"Rod, what's wrong?" asked curiously.
Rhodes stood up and said with a smile: "Those little squirrels who came over during the last episode of Ye Shen's live broadcast came over again and hid under the table." β
Everyone: "........"
Damn, do you want this to happen? Here you go again?
