Chapter 802: Grouper
The best thing to do is to make steamed fresh food, although Qian Rujun does not have oyster sauce, but Qian Rujun can still touch some oysters.
It should be relatively simple to use oysters to make oyster sauce.
As for soy sauce, their ships have always had a spare, because soy sauce is a holy condiment, and it can be stored for a long time, so the soy sauce made in Jinmaicheng is of course sent to the ship for them to use.
Although Qian Rujun knew that real oyster sauce was not made in this way, Qian Rujun didn't bother to check the books, how to make oyster sauce, the current situation is that the simpler the better, but she didn't help others to help her produce it.
Qian Rujun went ashore, many people wanted to help, Qian Rujun had to adjust so many fish by herself, so she instructed others to scrape off the scales on the gills and wash them, and drew two cross knife patterns on both sides of the fish for use, and then picked some green onions from the flower pot on the boat, washed the green onions and cut them into thin strips, and then dug out the ginger from the flower pot, and cut them into thin strips after washing.
There was a big iron pot on the ship, which had been moved down, and Qian Rujun also asked them to bring the big iron pot.
I filled it with water, boiled it over a large fire, and finally added seasonings, green onions, and ginger while it was boiling.
Cook for five minutes, turn off the heat to concentrate into a sauce, place the processed slate on a plate, and steam it in a steamer with boiling water over high heat.
I was getting some ginger juice out, as for the sauce method, it was not very necessary, Qian Rujun had already prepared the sauce on the ship, in fact, the main ingredient was the oyster sauce made by Qian Rujun and some self-brewed rice wine with a little soy sauce.
The fragrance was quickly conveyed, for the people on the boat, the smell of the fish was not special, and many people's cooking skills were already better than Qian Rujun, which was also the reason why Qian Rujun did not do it himself.
Because she found that as long as she did it herself, she could always make the taste worse, and if she just said how to cook it and let someone else make it, then she could make it delicious.
"You can find some wild vegetables and stir-fry them, with meat and vegetables, the taste is better. ”
"The princess fish hasn't been completely done yet, we found a big piece of asparagus, let's take the asparagus and make it into grouper asparagus rolls, okay?
Because the fish here is so big, in fact, if the meat contains vegetables, it will become more delicious, and the asparagus will not rot after it is cooked, just put it in hot water and blanch it, as for the fish itself is relatively lacking in taste, we will put salt and wine, let her increase the taste. ”
"Okay, you can do whatever you want, anyway, we waste a lot of materials.
If you have any leftover materials, dig a pool and raise them so that the groupers don't swim into the sea.
Later, if you have time, the two of you will go and help make fish ball soup, grouper ball soup, it should taste very good. ”
"Cooking grouper ball soup, it's very tiring, you have to chop all the time, keep chopping, keep chopping, keep chopping, keep chopping, keep chopping ......"
"But the fish balls can be stored for a little longer than the fish itself, at least for a day, and putting them in the vegetable soup can also increase the umami, what's so bad?
Eating something that has a different texture than fish can also make our tongue feel fresh. ”
"I suddenly wish there were pheasants on the island, so that we could eat meat from the land, and on the next island, if I could find pheasants and hares, I would have to eat them. ”
"Grouper is a delicacy, you don't know the preciousness of grouper. ”
"But the princess is the sea in this place, and there are no fish in the sea, and there is no shortage of any fish! We can see from the fact that the fish in the sea are all catching each other, but in any case, catching them will give birth to a very large number of fish, and each fish will grow healthy and healthy. ”
"What are you dripping on your grilled fish?"
"Princess, we are drenched in vinegar, so that it will not stick to the test net, so that we can test the whole fish. ”
In addition to the grouper, other sailors also caught other fish, and the other fish did not have to be steamed, some were boiled, and some were grilled.
If you boil it, you must wait for the soup to boil before putting the fish.
The protein on the surface of the fish will coagulate immediately, which also prevents the inside and umami from dissolving.
In addition, if you put the fish in the boiling soup, the fishy smell will volatilize quickly due to heat, and the smell will not dissolve into the soup, and the boiled fish will be delicious.
The fact that Qian Rujun said before is that the fishy smell in the sea is not very fishy, only a faint taste, and even a sweetness, unlike later generations, in fact, this fishy smell is sometimes the smell of human garbage.
"By the way, we haven't cooked rice for a long time, so go get some rice to eat, don't eat vegetables and meat at every meal. ”
Cooking rice is actually a kind of cooking rice, when cooking, the rice grains should absorb enough water, can not leave more than half excess water, it is a very difficult heating method, in fact, the heating time of rice is unexpectedly short, and the absorption and steaming before cooking is the focus of the whole cooking process.
In the beginning of the period, because the purpose is to make the temperature rise, it is heated with medium or high heat, and in this era, it is necessary to control it with firewood, and the fire is large or small, in fact, it is not so easy.
During the short heating period, in order to allow the rice grains to absorb enough water and cook thoroughly, the heat is reduced after boiling, to a certain extent, to prevent the water from spilling out, and to allow the water to move up and down evenly between the gaps in the rice grains.
During the continuous heating period, the water gradually evaporates, forming a correct passage between the gaps of the rice grains, and finally leaving holes, at this stage, the vitality should be reduced, otherwise all the steam will rush upward, and the bottom will scorch the pot.
At that stage when Qian Rujun was in the later life, the electronic pot could not do such a careful adjustment of firepower, so Qian Rujun did not buy an electronic pot but used the traditional Datong electric pot to cook rice.
In fact, Qian Rujun asked them to read rice for a purpose, because Qian Rujun suddenly thought of seafood stew, although Qian Rujun's favorite food is too seafood stew, and it is not easy to finish, but now there are so many seafood, although there is no cuttlefish, it is also very easy, as long as you fish again.
It's a pity that they have already caught a lot of things, so they can only cook them in vain with what they have, anyway, there is seafood to enhance the taste, even if there is no sea of cuttlefish juice, the taste will not be too little, and they can barely have a rich meal.
There can be some vegetables on the ship that have been placed for a long time, although the production of Jinmaicheng is very easy, but there are not many in Dahan at present, but since it is Qian Rujun who wants to use it, of course there is no problem, so he will send it all on the ship.
In fact, what Qian Rujun wants to do is not stewed rice, but seafood fried rice, he already knows that his best words are not to move, so as to ensure that the food is the most perfect.
Qian Rujun slowly got used to the life of the students on Xuetang Island who were not around, and also noticed what the island had.
What the island has, combined with the ingredients it brings, can be kept fresh for a long time, and many things are slowly coming out that are suitable for eating.
Although Qian Rujun can't cook by himself, Qian Rujun can use his imagination to make delicious food from what is in his head, and when he saw many people eating his delicious food and smiling on his face, Qian Rujun suddenly found that she had gone astray, maybe these smiles were the goal of her efforts.
People will smile when they eat good things, and this smile is actually the purest smile, as for marrying a good wife and having a good house, this kind of smile you usually can't see, and his smile has nothing to do with you.
Qian Rujun noticed that on this island, in fact, there are no freshwater rivers and freshwater lakes, but the freshwater rivers are very small, and the freshwater rivers that emerge here still have a faint salty taste, but this behavior is very different from the running seawater, which is equivalent to the feeling of adding some salt to the soup, and there is no bitter taste brought by magnesium chloride caused by seawater salt.
Fish are divided into freshwater and saltwater fish, and people who generally prefer freshwater fish will take sea bass as the most precious, and it is said that sea bass can raise meat, so people who are injured usually only use sea bass to replenish their bodies, hoping that fresh meat will grow as soon as possible.
This is the impression that originally existed in Qian Rujun's mind, but when did people start eating sea bass to raise meat?
Qian Rujun knew that she could find out the reason, because she had all the written materials that had disappeared or existed, and maybe she could sort them out through research, but these were not important things.
Sea bass is born with talents, delicious and tight meat, and there are many records in history, and its fame is very big, of course, this history has not been extended to the Han Dynasty.
The main political figures and cultural people of the Han Dynasty were too far away from the sea, although the Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period used to have the power of fish salt with the seawater by the sea.
Seven-star perch and alfonson were all common perch on Qian Rujun's dining table on the island.
The most popular habitat for sea bass is in areas where brackish water alternates.
The water in this place has the nature of both freshwater and saltwater, and every autumn and winter, adult perch will spawn in the sea for hatching, and in spring and summer, they will grow up the stream, and when they are mature, they will enter the sea again to reproduce the next generation.
For the people of the island, they are the most precious freshwater fish, that is, because fishermen at that time always chose to catch the sea bass before it matures into the sea, when the life of the nursery reaches its peak state.
The vitality of the sea bass in the sea is imagined as a magical power, and then passed on by word of mouth, practiced, combined with people's perception of honor in history, and finally formed a kind of wish among the people.
"Catch this fish for me to eat?" Qian Rujun pointed to the perch in the stream.
Compared to the sea, a stream that cannot be entered is more troublesome.
It's not that Qian Rujun can't be caught, but his actions on land will be seen clearly.
Although this is a wild place, Qian Rujun has brought too many people, and all the fish in the small river are not enough for everyone to eat.
In this situation, freshwater fish has become a precious ingredient, and Qian Rujun is not ready to share the delicious sea bass with others.
Qian Rujun found that because the ingredients on the ship are very much, so people have created more and more patterns, it can be said that steaming, cooking, frying, and frying, each item is used, as for the rapeseed oil of fried fish at this time comes in handy, vegetable oil is not originally owned by the Han itself, or the oil that the Han knows is very rare, only some large households know how to use sesame seeds or other things to manufacture.
Even the Han royal family sometimes did not get these secrets, so they were only able to eat lard, and for them, even lard, it was not easy to obtain.
For the students of Xuetang Island next to Qian Rujun, every oil has the most suitable time, so they always use the right oil at the most suitable time, when peanut oil should be cooked more fragrant, peanut oil is used, lard is used when lard, and sesame oil is used when sesame oil should be used.
Qian Rujun feels that when the right things are used, the taste can actually stimulate the most beautiful taste.
However, when the time passed day by day, Qian Rujun thought that the students of Xuetang Island had been gone for a long time and had no news, and he couldn't help but be a little worried.
But the place they went to, Qian Rujun had not met before, so there was no way to set up a space node in that place, that is, there was no way to get in touch in time.
As for the Philippines where Qian Rujun has been, although there is no one left to guard it, it has set up a space node on the tall trees, if Qian Rujun wants to develop that place in the future, he can actually pass something through the space node.
Therefore, the space node left by Qian Rujun in the Philippines is actually not too small, and it can transmit a large number of materials.
But the place where Qian Rujun sent the students of Xuetang Island to go was not so convenient, after all, in that place, even if he wanted to set up a space node, he had to go in it before.
So Qian Rujun can't get the news.
At first, it was full of hope, but as time passed, there was some anxiety in my heart.
But calculating the time, Qian Rujun also knows that waiting for this period of time is actually inevitable.
They drove the ship out and wanted to do research and development work on it, which made Qian Rujun very worried, if they couldn't make the engine, when they found Naborneo, they didn't know how long it would take to return.
There are no mobile phones in this day and age.
For Qian Rujun, when others contacted Qian Rujun and couldn't be contacted, Qian Rujun felt very normal, but when Qian Rujun wanted to find someone else but couldn't find it, his feeling was abnormal.
"Yuxi, why haven't they come back yet?"
"Princess, they have just set off, don't worry, not to mention that they still need to create, it is normal for research and development to create without any results. ”
