Fans in the live broadcast room, the following is Master Chen's storytelling time, please listen carefully, these are all part of our Chinese food culture. Product = book/net Zhao Ling faced the live camera and made a sweet voice.

"At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing soldiers entered the Taihu Lake, and Zhang San, a fisherman from Taihu Lake, led a group of people to fight fiercely with the Qing soldiers who went south in the Taihu Lake area. Once, when Zhang San was fighting with the Qing soldiers on the lake, he was hit by an arrow in his arm, and the big knife in his hand fell into the lake, he endured the severe pain, bent down and picked up a silver knife from the lake, and killed the Qing soldiers. Zhang San looked down at the hand in his hand, and it turned out to be a white fish with silver flashing, so the name of the silver knife was called. Chen Mo finished telling the story of the white fish in one go.

After listening to Chen Mo's narration, the onlookers were silent for a while, and then they joined each other.

"I didn't expect there to be such a thing in our Taihu Lake. ”

"I'll just say that our Taihu people are leveraged, and they will definitely not flinch in the face of aggression. ”

"A fish is like a knife? I think I've seen it in some movie. ”

......

At this time, a fisherman asked Chen Mo: "Although the story of this white fish is beautiful, how does this white fish make it delicious? We have grilled it, and the taste is average, if it is fried like a whitebait, is it a little big." ”

Chen Mo smiled.

That's the main thing.

"Grilling or frying is not a suitable cooking method for white fish with delicate meat and a lot of fat under the scales, and the most suitable method for white fish should be steaming. ”

"Steam?" everyone responded in unison.

"That's right, I'll use this white fish to make a steamed white fish. ”

Although he kept talking, Chen Mo's hands were not idle, he hollowed out the internal organs of the fish and washed them, scratched the white fish with the dragon sparrow blade, sprayed cooking wine, smeared a little salt on the fish, put the sliced ginger in the belly of the fish and the cracks of the knife marks, and sprinkled some steamed fish soy sauce.

The water in the pot was already boiling, and it was bubbling with bubbles, and Chen Mo put the processed fish into a large plate and steamed it in the pot.

Guihusheng stood on tiptoe, the thumbs of both hands kept touching, and his heart seemed to be full of anticipation.

After a while, a fishy smell began to pour out of the pot.

This aroma is different from the rich aroma of fried whitebait, and it is a faint fish aroma.

After steaming for almost 8 minutes, Chen Mo lifted the lid of the pot, and with the thick white mist drifting away, a steamed white fish appeared in front of everyone.

"Is this all right?" said a fisherman, swallowing his saliva and still impatient.

"Not yet. Chen Mo smiled, set up another oil pot, boiled the oil to 7 to hot, then added a few peppercorns, and then poured the barbecue oil on the white fish.

Before coming out of the pot, Chen Mo picked up all the green onions and ginger slices, and placed some shredded green onions, which was done.

Steamed white fish, success!

A simple-looking steamed white fish was placed in front of everyone.

"I don't know what this steamed white fish tastes like. ”

"The fish doesn't smell as strong as the fried whitebait. ”

"But the smell is good, too. ”

The fishermen were chattering, but none of them rushed forward to taste the fried whitebait as they scrambled for it.

"Ahem. The old village chief coughed and said, "If any of you want to taste it, let's start with chopsticks first." ”

With the permission of the village chief, a young fisherman immediately jumped out and said, "I'll try it first." ”

The old village chief squinted, smiled and nodded.

"Hello, what's your name?" asked Zhao Ling to the young fisherman, who looked to be only about 10 years old.

"I'm called Doudou, I've grilled this white fish several times, and the taste is always worse, so I want to taste if this white fish tastes better when steamed. "I'm not very old, but I'm quite old when I speak.

Although some people left Taihu Lake after studying, most Taihu people still inherited their parents' means of livelihood and became a fisherman on the edge of Taihu Lake.

"Okay, then you can try it first. Zhao Ling smiled and handed a pair of chopsticks to Doudou.

Doudou picked up the chopsticks and stepped forward to take a look, the green onion shreds, the silver white fish, and the thin layer of tempeh fish juice underneath looked perfect, and he hesitated where to put the chopsticks.

Chen Mo prompted: "Let's get off the chopsticks from the position of the fish belly, there is more fat and less fish bones, and the meat is the most delicious and chewy." ”

Doudou nodded hurriedly, and put down the chopsticks from the position of the fish maw, as soon as the chopsticks touched the body of the fish, they fell into it, and it can be seen that the fish is steamed very tender.

Picking up a piece of fish meat and putting it in his mouth, perhaps because it was a little hot, Doudou first exhaled a few hot breaths, and then slowly began to chew and taste.

"How's it going?" the old village chief didn't taste it, but he was quite anxious.

As he chewed, his expression gradually became pleasantly surprised.

"It's so delicious! I've never eaten such a delicious white fish!" Doudou exclaimed excitedly, "This fish is fragrant, smooth and tender, and when you eat it in your mouth, it's as smooth and tender as eating tofu, but the aroma and taste are completely different, and it's dozens of delicious white fish grilled by myself... No, a hundred times!"

Listening to Doudou's words, the onlookers were ready to move.

The old village chief smiled and nodded.

The crowd immediately flocked to it!

In just a few seconds, there were no fish bones left on the plate, only a few shredded green onions, as if lamenting loneliness.

"Oops, it's... Is this really the taste of our Taihu Lake white fish?"

"I am so happy, it turns out that there are so many delicious ingredients in Taihu Lake. ”

"That's thanks to this little brother Chen, otherwise who knows how to make these ingredients delicious. ”

Zhao Ling stood beside Chen Mo, holding chopsticks in the air, and glanced at Chen Mo.

"Excuse me, who still has the white fish, I'll make a few more plates. ”

......

"Chen Mo, I want to ask, how to make the white shrimp in Sanbai delicious?" the old village chief came to Chen Mo and asked expectantly.

"Old village chief, in fact, there are many kinds of white shrimp practices, not as limited as whitebait and white fish, but I know a very special method that can fully reflect the deliciousness of this white shrimp. ”

"Oh?" the old village chief hurriedly said, "I would like to hear about it." ”

"The name of this dish is white shrimp choked on wine. Put the white shrimp that have just been fished out of the lake and are still alive and jumping into a covered glassware, pour in the white wine, choke it with the lid, about 10 minutes, then add the minced ginger, shredded green onions, red pepper, fine salt, stir and serve. ”

"Is it still raw, can you eat it?" asked the old village chief in surprise.

"Don't worry, it tastes great. Chen Mo made a "like" gesture.

"Husheng, Husheng!"

"Grandpa, I'm here. ”

"Bring the old wine that is treasured in my room and make a dish of white shrimp choked with wine for Brother Chen. ”

"Okay, I'll go!" Husheng hurriedly ran to a hut by the lake.

I have a food house
