Chapter 097: The Treasure of the Deep Sea
Lin Su once again entered a state of dissipation, and he carefully sensed the message transmitted to him by the puffer whale. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThrough this information, Lin Su can roughly determine the location of each puffer whale's venom sac, which is the premise of cooking puffer whales.
Knowing that his skills were limited, Lin Su selected one of the 15 puffer whales to be the best to cook the individual, and its poison sac was located directly under the stomach.
Seeing Lin Su's posture of preparing to take care of the puffer whale himself, Niss and Hodge were surprised, they had never heard Lin Su mention that he had such a skill.
In order not to disturb Lin Su, the two of them held their breath in unison.
Lin Su held a knife in his right hand and inserted three centimeters into it from the gill position, then cut off the mandible, and then cut the abdominal cavity to the caudal fin, and the depth of the knife must always be one centimeter.
There must not be a millimeter deviation in the whole process, otherwise the previous work will be lost.
The meat of the puffer whale is full of weight and firmness, which is extremely difficult for those who want to control the cutting position precisely.
Fortunately, the puffer whale that Lin Su chose was easy to cut the knife, and if it was other puffer whales that needed to be cut in an arc, he really had no way to control it.
After two knives, the belly of the puffer whale was cut open, and the purple poison bag appeared in front of Lin Su.
The puffer whale's venom pouch is not as smooth as a snake's gall bladder, and its surface has many mucous membranes connected to various parts of the body. These mucous membranes form a net that wraps around the body of the puffer whale, and the knife must be passed through the gap in the mucosal web when the puffer whale is cut open.
It is precisely because of this that it is so difficult to remove the venomous sacs of puffer whales.
Putting the knife aside, Lin Su carefully peeled off the mucous membrane around the poison bag with his hands. It took about ten minutes to peel off all the mucous membranes, and Lin Su gently picked up the poison bag and let it leave the body of the puffer whale.
At the moment when the poison bag was peeled off, the body of the puffer whale turned golden yellow.
"It's a success!" Lin Su shouted excitedly.
"Brother, look at people, the first attempt was successful. Niss hit Hodge mercilessly, and then looked at the puffer whale that had been removed from the poison bag, "This is an ingredient worth 500 million yuan, which is more expensive than gold, no, more expensive than diamonds." ”
Thinking of the one-in-one chance of bragging in front of Lin Su that he had removed the puffer fish whale poison bag before, Hodge's face was also a little hot.
Hearing the conversation between the brother and sister, Lin Su hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't compliment me, you know your own affairs, if it wasn't for choosing the most convenient puffer whale, I would definitely not be able to do it, and the next thing is to depend on Hodge's play." ”
"Don't worry, the one-third success rate I'm talking about is not blowing, I have failed twice before, and this time it will definitely succeed. Hodge also wants to prove himself.
"How did I not know that the probabilities were calculated like this?"
Hodge held a kitchen knife and looked intently at the puffer whale in front of him, and after a long time, his eyes narrowed and he firmly stabbed the puffer whale.
His technique of cutting is completely different from Lin Su's, starting from the root of the tail fin with a three-knife cut method into the knife for 10 centimeters, and then using the ring cutting method to draw a semicircle from the midline of the mouth of the puffer whale and connect with the knife edge of the previous knife, and the whole puffer whale is broken from the side.
Carefully removing the poison sac, the puffer whale turned golden again.
Seeing his results, Hodge breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was Lin Su who provided the ingredients, and if it failed, I really didn't want to go.
At Lin Su's request, Hodge cooked a total of four puffer whales, two of which were successful and two of which were poisoned, counting the two that failed before, really verified the one-third success rate he said.
Without the hindrance of the poison sac, Hodge's cooking skills can finally be fully utilized, and the three puffer whales that have been removed from the poison sac are immediately disintegrated by him.
First, the tongue of the puffer whale is removed and placed on an iron plate, and the tongue made of condensed fat is heated and turned into high-grade oil, which can be cooked repeatedly without spoiling.
The puffer whale offal that has been cut out is stir-fried with this oil, which is Lin Su's appetizer. The internal organs of the puffer whale have an amazing nourishing and strengthening effect, and the whole body is full of joy and fatigue is eliminated in one breath.
When the body is back to its best, thinly sliced puffer fish sashimi becomes the main course.
Pick up a thin, almost transparent piece of fish with chopsticks, and the pink fish has fat attached to it like beef belly. From this point of view, it is more like whale meat than puffer fish meat.
When you put it in your mouth, you will have a delicious taste of fat, and it doesn't melt away in your mouth like a large piece of tuna, but it has a thick texture like puffer fish meat.
"The name puffer whale is so apt, its meat is a perfect combination of the taste of puffer fish meat and the fat of whale meat. After just one bite of Lin Su, he couldn't stop his chopsticks.
"It's so sweet, the more you chew it, the more delicious it gets, and the endless deliciousness gradually emerges. Niss covered her cheeks with her hands, "My jaw hurts a little after chewing for too long, but I still can't stop." ”
"It's like a bottomless delicacy like the depths of the sea, and it seems to give the taster a never-ending sense of well-being. It's no wonder that poisoned puffer whales circulate on the black market, and it's a delicious treat to taste even if you die. ”
Hodge was so moved that he almost cried. "The ingredients that I tried my best to catch and cook with all my might were the best. ”
"This is not what my brother caught. Niss soured.
"Guy who eats white food. Hodge shot back.
The size of the puffer whale is not large, and even three of them do not have much meat, and these sashimi are quickly stuffed into their respective mouths by the three people.
"Try the fin wine I made, which I specially prepared for the puffer whales. Hodge laid out three wine glasses.
The puffer whale's fins are so fragrant that their tail and pectoral fins can be turned into a fine fin wine with a little grilling.
"To celebrate the capture of puffer whales, cheers. Lin Su and the three of them raised their glasses together.
"It's a great fin wine, and the aroma permeates the whole body after drinking it. The sweetness of the fins combined with the spicy mulled sake is a perfect combination. Lin Su poured the whole glass of wine into his mouth in one gulp.
"The aroma is pleasant, so warm. Niss took a small sip.
At this time, Hodge handed a small box to Lin Su.
"What is this?" Lin Su asked.
"This is the dorsal fin of the puffer whale, and it's a pity to use it as a fin wine. It can be used to make a soup unique to puffer whales, and even if it is boiled every day, it can still be boiled fresh after three years. ”
"In other words, with these three dorsal fins, I can drink puffer whale broth until the next time puffer whales lay eggs?" Lin Su smiled and put the small box into his backpack.
