Chapter 187 [Destroying You on Behalf of the Moon]
Originally, it was a hideous giant electric catfish, and it looked very difficult to deal with. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
The slimy skin is disgusting enough, and the dense fins and whiskers are even more difficult to eat.
Unexpectedly, in the hands of Chen Ergou, with just a few knives, he had already distinguished the fish meat, fish skin, and even fish bones one by one.
"Amazing oriental cooking. β
The three Americans already feel like they're running out of words.
Chen Ergou didn't make the fish first, he only took out the salt, spread an even layer on the electric catfish meat and marinated it first.
Then he took out his backpack and poured out large pieces of edible cassava, vegetables, roots, young leaves, and fruits, which were left over from last night and collected along the way today. Tell Jenny what to do with them, and let them go to the creek to wash up.
Seeing Chen Ergou's miraculous knife work, the two of them were now full of confidence and enthusiasm, and even Old Baker couldn't sit still and took the initiative to speak, "Chen, find me something to do." β
βOKοΌβ
Chen Ergou took out a packet of raw meat wrapped in leaves and handed it to him, "Help me feed Reyngar." It's still young, and it eats too much to digest, which is enough for it to grind its teeth. β
"No problem, I just want to get close to it. β
Everyone has a job to do, so there is no need to praise him all the time. He also started to make a fire. Just a little wood fiber velvet was extracted, and the flint was wiped a few times, and it began to spark. The fire was nested in the shape of a bird's nest and carefully blown into the fire, and it didn't take long for a cloud of smoke to rise and bright sparks to bloom.
"Wow, lit the bonfire!"
"Great!"
The cheers behind him made Chen Ergou smile bitterly, how shallow the knowledge of these two young Americans was, they could even cheer with flint and steel.
Anthony was frustrated: "Why did I light a campfire so easily, I felt like a pig." β
Jenny was overjoyed, "Haha, I finally saw the fire, at least I don't have to feed the mosquitoes tonight." Chen, you are awesome, following you is like traveling. β
Chen Ergou shook his head speechlessly, and piled up the firewood in a square shape, allowing the bonfire to burn quickly. Humans feel at ease when they have fire, and when such a large pair of bonfires burn brightly, he can feel the three people who have been panicking, and the smiles on their faces have increased.
"Professor, on the way here, I saw a few clusters of bamboos a little downstream, please cut down a few tender green ones. If there are bamboo shoots, bring them back as well. β
"No problem. Old Baker put down Rengar for the time being, and rushed over with his knife.
"Anthony, come and help me move the rocks. β
"Okay. β
With Anthony's help, a few more stones were moved, a primitive stove was erected, and pots were washed and water boiled. Another modern pot from the trio's backpack was also used, but only a little water was boiled, which he kept for steaming.
"Friends, today's ingredients are more abundant. There's a fat snake and a giant electric catfish. In his spare time, he also has to take care of the audience in the live broadcast room, and he can't snub this group of gods, "This electric catfish is a bit big, and I'm going to use it to make two dishes." A steamed fruit electric catfish, a stewed electric catfish soup. β
"The reason why tonight's dishes are all steamed and stewed is also because the temperature at the equator is relatively high and the air humidity is high, and it is easy to get hot if you eat too spicy. Moreover, the tastes of Westerners may not be accustomed to Chinese food. As a qualified chef, I have to think about my own diners. β
"I've always heard that electric catfish is delicious and extremely nutritious. But it is a freshwater fish after all, and the fishy smell is relatively heavy, if you want to be more delicious, you must add a variety of excipients to remove the fishy smell. Fortunately, I don't have a shortage of horseradish now, and the horseradish I collected yesterday is a good ingredient for removing fishy odors. β
Because the electric catfish meat has just been marinated, now rinse it with clean water and talk to the camera while doing it.
The knife is unfolded and half of the electric catfish is sliced into neat slices. These catfish meat is also changed into various geometric shapes, triangles, diamonds, ovals, and so on.
Sweet fruits such as mangoes and avocados are washed and cut into slices in the shape of fishing nets.
It looks crystal clear, evenly thick, and neatly placed on a single leaf.
"Such superb knife work, which is reminiscent of a sushi restaurant owner. "Old Baker had already returned with a few bamboos in tow, and a delicate bamboo shoot.
Chen Ergou took the bamboo and said, "Give the bamboo to me." If you're not tired, do me a little favor. β
He really wasn't used to someone constantly boasting on the sidelines, and immediately found something for him to do. Take some fruits that are not very palatable, avocados, berries, etc., and put them in an iron kettle, "Professor, please mash them into jam." β
βOKγ "An old man with a white beard, he simply asked him to do things.
Chen Ergou peeled off the bamboo and cut it into thin bamboo pieces, staggered up and down, and it didn't take long for him to weave it into a steamer chassis bracket very dexterously. This almost artistic craftsmanship was repeatedly displayed in his hands, which caused the three of them to not even pay attention to their work, and their ears were full of exclamation-like praise. "Chen, what else can't you do?", "You have a pair of skillful hands. ββ¦β¦
Chen Ergou plucked out his ears and said helplessly: "Do Americans like to praise people so much?"
Jenny exaggerated, "Haha, that's just for you." Chen, you don't know how attractive you are now, I think all girls can't wait to marry you. β
Chen Ergou said angrily: "Thank you, please hurry up and clean the materials, I will use them soon." β
"Oh, okay, right now. β
At this time, the water was also boiling, and Chen Ergou also sped up his movements, laying the steamer bamboo frame on the boiling water above the water layer in the pot, and a leaf under it.
Take out your own baby gourd, quickly add some steaming accessories and the already ground jam, and spread it on the electric catfish together. The cream fruit is also cut into small slices and added to the meat slices, which are then covered with a layer of fishnet-like fruit slices. Place them in a steaming pot one by one. Cover with a large leaf lid.
snapped his fingers and said, "That's it, it'll be ready to cook in about 20 minutes!"
By the way, I also processed the snake meat, smeared it with the sauce of the little master and the jam mashed by Old Baker, wrapped it in leaves, and put it in a steamer to steam it together.
The other dish of fish soup is relatively simple, the slices of meat are relatively thick, and they are first burst with boiling water. Rinse with cold water to make the meat tighter. Pour out the water, refill the pot with clear stream water, and start simmering directly with the auxiliary ingredients, including bamboo shoots. Materials such as bamboo shoots and horseradish are put in large sections and are not cut very carefully.
But the simplicity of this dish is only relative to him.
Others only saw a large number of auxiliary materials such as sprouts, and they were about to numb their claws, so troublesome so many processes, let alone doing it, I am afraid that they will starve to death before they can be processed. But this step is in Chen Ergou's hands, and everything becomes rhythmic, and all the work is prepared quickly, orderly and smoothly.
After the whole pot, look at the time: "15 minutes!"
At the end, you can also boil a pot of coffee leaf tea to refresh yourself.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the white gas was already rising from the lid of the pot that could not hide the smell, and it came to wash the face with a pungent fragrance. There were already three loyal fans around him, and the saliva they kept swallowing, and the eyes of the audience in the live broadcast room were wide.
Not to mention people, even the baboon and Rengar squatted next to them and sniffed vigorously.
"It's too exaggerated, the dog's childcare this time is too obvious. Bad review!"
"The foreigner is so hungry that you can eat it if you give him a piece of raw meat. β
"I've seen through your tricks, even Rengar and the little baboon are bribed together to be your nursery, you're already crazy!"
"Look at you quietly pretending to be forced, such a simple cook...... Hmph, I'll do it too. β
Not to mention the sour smell in the live broadcast room, the scene is almost imminent, "Chen, I smell the fragrance, isn't it okay?"
Chen Ergou looked at his watch, "It's almost." β
He first took off the pot of fish soup and gently poured it into the dishes. In the clear and watery fish soup, there are a few pieces of condiments floating, and the tender white electric catfish has been stewed into milky white.
A few oil flowers mixed with young shoots float naturally above the splash, light and natural, but you can feel the tenacity of the fish and the feeling that the rich nutrients are all contained in the soup.
Waiting for Chen Ergou to take out the fruit steamed electric catfish again, a burst of rich fragrance drifted into everyone's nostrils with the wind, instantly making the three of them lose their reserve, and even Old Baker couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The camera focused on the two dishes of food and carefully filmed the past, and after the audience saw it clearly, they were already instantly grieving, and the tearful barrage reappeared in the rivers and lakes, all telling the accusation of poisoning the anchor in the middle of the night.
Fish soup stew, not to mention, swallowing saliva is enough.
The most hateful thing is that in the steamed electric catfish, the fish meat is all thin, and even translucent, mixed with colorful jam flows down the tender white fish, just look at it, you can think of a series of praise words such as "white and tender skin", "fat but not greasy", "fragrant and delicious", "fragrant, crispy, tender" and so on.
As the sun set, shining on the camp under the big tree halfway up the mountain, the whole piece of meat was instantly reflected in the white and red, shining in the sunlight, and the sound of swallowing saliva suddenly rose.
Chen Ergou took off the coffee leaf tea and poured a cup for each of the three of them, and the four of them sat on the stone and looked at each other and smiled.
"Everyone, it is also a kind of fate to meet you here, we Chinese are very fateful, although there have been some misunderstandings, but we are now very happy. I always think of myself as a chef, and as a chef, accepting the evaluation of diners is the final test for me. Two dishes, a cup of tea, we toast everyone with tea instead of wine, and wish us an early exit from the Congo rainforest!"
βcheersοΌβ
The four of them glanced at each other, and they all smiled and took a sip of the water glass. Then Qi Qi looked at Chen Ergou, his eyes full of longing.
"So......" Chen Ergou tilted his head, "What are you waiting for, let's go." β
"Wow~~"
"Haha, that's great, just waiting for your words. β
"Chen, I have to thank you, haha. β
The three of them couldn't help but open their mouths to eat, Jenny was a woman, but her appearance was the most terrifying, and she had no image. She tried it with her fork but didn't get it, so she couldn't wait to eat it directly with her hands, and she wasn't afraid of getting hot.
Take a bite, the delicious juice inside flows into the mouth, bite the meat ball soaked in juice, not fat or greasy, the entrance is smooth, especially the electric catfish meat, there is even a slight numb of the tongue with electricity...... That's beautiful!
Then her exaggerated admiration and gratitude never stopped, "Chen, I love you." Mom, I think of my mother......
Anthony just stuffed his mouth and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you." Hey, are you still discharging, it's numb, it's so strong!"
Old Baker looked a little calmer, and he took a light sip of the fish soup. The fish broth is clear, white, fragrant, salty, and delicious. Take a sip, taste, swallow again, take another sip, taste again, swallow again, take another sip, taste again, swallow again, take another sip, taste again, swallow again......
Then I started to cry.
"Professor!"
Jenny was stunned.
Old Baker waved his hand, wiped his eyes, and said, "I'm fine." β
"God, I never imagined that one day I would cry over a good meal. Thank you very much, Chen, for giving us three unfortunate people who are about to starve to death in the jungle with this incomparably delicious meal!"
Chen Ergou smiled and said: "Let's eat, eating them all is the greatest respect and reward for the chef." β
"Haha, don't worry, we won't have anything left. β
"Meow" Rengar jumped on Chen Ergou's push, leaning over with his little nose and sniffing. Chen Ergou stroked its head and said with a smile: "Are you even greedy, don't worry, I'll give you a piece." β
The audience in the live broadcast room was completely speechless, and their tearful expressions were even more urgent.
"Late-night poisoners, I really hate it!"
"What a nasty feeling, Meow Meow!"
"Destroy you on behalf of the moon!"
