Chapter 601: Grouper
Commercial promotion is very necessary, there is an old saying that 'the aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys.' There is some truth to this statement, but this is because the taste of wine can travel far and wide, even in deep alleys, it can be found and bring sales to itself.
But coffee is different, the taste of this kind of thing has not been recognized, and it is still a bitter taste, even if it is smelled, it may not be liked, so it is necessary to promote it, so that more people can taste it in person and feel that it is delicious, and this effect will be achieved.
If most people have never drunk it and smell this bitter taste, they probably won't choose to buy it, so they will miss this business opportunity.
Therefore, it is necessary to let some people try it for free, as long as some people are satisfied, they will choose to spend money to buy it and promote it to the surrounding people, so that the effect will rise, as long as the sales volume increases, the loss of free in the early stage will be recovered.
Ang Lee does not plan to do coffee business, and Datang does not produce coffee at present, but it does no harm in helping Bolu to promote coffee, a new drink, and it can be regarded as a contribution to mankind.
Moreover, when you go to a small country along the way, you always have to give some gifts to the high-level, coffee is a very good gift, you only need to give a little bit and let them taste it.
Li Ang continued to prepare coffee while drinking the coffee that had been prepared, although drinking too much coffee will make people poisoned, but it takes a lot to drink, and there is no problem with drinking three or five cups.
Caffeine can be exciting, and after a few more drinks, Ang Lee's spirits seem quite excited and energetic.
When people have enough energy, they must find something to do, or they will not seem very bored, in the vast sea, in addition to taking care of some green vegetables, the rest is fishing.
Along the way, Ang Lee has fished a lot of times, and he has also caught a lot of strange fish that he has never seen before, many of which are colorful and very beautiful, but whether he can eat them or not, Ang Lee is not sure.
For the sea fish that are not sure whether they can be eaten or not, Ang Lee's principle is one, the good-looking ones are kept in the glass tank and appreciated when they are fine, while the ones that are not good-looking are thrown back to the sea and let them live.
This is where the benefits of ugliness come in, as ugly and mutilated fish are released, and the good-looking ones become playthings in the bathtub.
For unfamiliar fish, Ang Lee can only release them and stay for viewing, while for the more familiar marine fish, they are used to cook delicacies, especially several kinds of fish with excellent taste, which should be used to make delicious food.
"Another one, Ah Lang's luck today is really good, it's already the eleventh."
Yun'er saw that Li An caught a big fish, and happily ran over to catch it.
Ang Lee was also very happy, this one was a very large grouper, if it was made delicious, it would definitely be able to eat a full meal.
Li An put the fishing rod aside, got up and said, "It's almost, stop fishing, it's time for lunch." ”
"Ah Lang wants something to eat, and the slave will make it for you."
Yuna said softly.
Li An pointed to the grouper he had just caught and said, "Let's make braised grouper today, and let's eat it together." ”
Yun'er smiled: "Ah Lang, this braised grouper, the slave won't do it!" ”
Li An smiled: "It's okay, I'll make braised grouper myself, you guys will give me a hand, okay." ”
"Ah Lang cooks it himself, it's great, we're happy to do it."
Yoona and Lady are very happy.
Ang Lee's cooking skills are very good, and they are very clear about this, but Ang Lee is a big official, and he usually doesn't need to cook by himself.
There are not many steps to make braised grouper, and it is not very difficult, but for people who have never made it, it is just a certain degree of difficulty.
Li An opened his mouth and commanded: "Yun'er, you take this grouper into the back kitchen, let the chef remove the scales and internal organs, in addition, let them prepare green onions, ginger and garlic, as well as oil and salt, by the way, the green onions and garlic must be cut, and the ginger must be cut into thin strips, so that it is the best to eat." ”
"Yes, Ah Lang, the slave knows."
Yuna happily ran to prepare.
"Beauty, you go and let the kitchen fry a few side dishes, you can't just eat grouper for lunch."
Ang Lee continued to order.
"Yes, Aaron."
It's about to cook by himself, and Ang Lee needs to rest for a while, lie on the chair and watch the seagulls flying in the distance.
The fleet travels along the coastline, so it's not very far from land, and it's normal to see seagulls.
However, the seagulls in Ang Lee's eyes were in his mind, but the grouper was in his mind.
To say that this grouper is a very valuable fish, belonging to the order Perciformes, the body is oblong and slightly flattened. The mouth is large, with auxiliary maxilla, and the teeth are thin and pointed, and some are enlarged into canine teeth. The body is covered with small scales, sometimes buried under the skin. The dorsal and anal fin spines are well developed, the caudal fin is round or concave, and the body color varies greatly, often brown or red, with stripes and spots, and it is a large and medium-sized marine fish with warm water.
Grouper is rich in nutrients, the meat is delicate and white, similar to chicken, known as "sea chicken". Grouper is also a low-fat, high-protein high-quality edible fish, which was promoted as one of the four famous fish in China by Hong Kong and Macao in later generations.
The distribution of grouper is very extensive, the southern coast of the Tang Dynasty, the sea fish of all the countries in the South China Sea have this kind of precious fish, it is a good thing on the table of the common people, however, because the price is indeed not low, so, half of the people can not afford to eat, only the aristocracy with a slightly higher income can afford to eat grouper.
Groupers are generally relatively small, and those that can grow to a foot in length are considered very large, and the small ones are only half a foot, and the grouper that Li Ang just caught is relatively large, which can be regarded as the best among groupers.
Groupers have a very special feature that ordinary organisms do not have, that is, they are hermaphrodites, and they can be converted into each other.
From the fry just grow up and mature when it is a female, the next year, it will become a male, and in nature, the natural enemies of fish are relatively many, and there are fewer groupers that can live to the second year, so in the whole nature, the number of male groupers is much less than that of females, which can be regarded as more males and fewer females.
And the grouper that Ang Lee caught this time was very large, and he knew at a glance that it was a male grouper, and the taste was also the best.
Magnetic grouper can spawn up to 200,000 at a time, the number can be described as very huge, if all these eggs can develop into adult grouper, the number is terrible, of course, this is impossible to happen, natural enemies, will destroy most of the eggs and fry to a certain extent, resulting in only a small number of groupers can live to adulthood, and even fewer can become males.
Grouper likes to live in the island and reef, gravel, coral reef geological sea area, generally not in groups, the inhabiting water layer rises and falls with the change of water temperature, in spring and summer it is distributed in the water depth of more than ten meters, in the middle of summer it is in the depth of two or three meters, and as for the very cold winter, the grouper will go deep into the sea water to a depth of nearly 100 meters, in order to obtain enough water temperature to maintain their life.
Groupers like to raid and prey on bottom crustaceans, as well as a variety of small fish.
The main feature of grouper is its high nutritional value, which is an inconspicuous marine fish rich in protein, low in fat, and rich in a variety of inorganic salts and vitamins.
The nutrients of fish skin gelatin, which play an important role in enhancing the complete growth of epithelial tissue and promoting collagen synthesis, are known as the fish of beauty and skin care, especially suitable for women to eat after giving birth.
In addition, grouper also has the medicinal value of strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, because groupers often prey on fish, shrimp and crabs, and at the same time ingest astaxanthin, which is rich in shrimp and crabs, and for humans, grouper has become a food rich in astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin is a very good health nutrition, and it is also the only antioxidant that can achieve the function of delaying the aging of organs and tissues, which is a very good thing for people who love beauty and are afraid of aging, so people who are rich and love beauty like to eat grouper, which further increases the price of grouper and makes grouper a fish that ordinary people can't afford to eat.
"Ah Lang, the chef has already killed the grouper."
Yuna ran out and reported softly.
Li An nodded, got up and walked to the back kitchen.
Although as Ang Lee, it is not suitable to enter a place like the back kitchen, let alone cook in person, but Ang Lee insists on doing so, and the people below are helpless, how dare they disobey.
"Well, yes, the processing is very clean, the materials are well prepared, and you can start making."
Ang Lee was very satisfied with the chef's craftsmanship and picked up the tools himself and began to cook the fish.
"Yun'er, add firewood, the fire is small, and the grouper will not be delicious."
Ang Lee smiled and called the maid.
"Laugh whatever you want, go out."
Seeing a few people in the back kitchen snickering, Ang Lee drove them away, and these guys saw themselves and the maids working, laughing at themselves.
"These guys, they dare to laugh at us, what's wrong with the waiter cooking by himself, I just like to cook by myself."
After the guys went out, Ang Lee snorted.
After adding fire, the iron pot quickly heated, and after the oil was poured in, the sound of squeezing was soon heard, which indicated that the oil was hot and the grouper could be put in.
"......"
When the killed grouper is put into the oil pot, it makes a loud noise, which is very enjoyable to listen to, and you can also smell a very fragrant smell, which makes people have a mouth-watering feeling.
After all, after killing, the grouper has been marinated for a long time, and the taste of many ingredients has penetrated deep into the fish, and it naturally tastes very fragrant when it is fried.
After one side is fried, Li Ang gently turns the grouper with a shovel to fry the other side of the grouper, and only when both sides are fried can the next step be carried out.
After turning over, there is a wonderful sound of rattling, as well as the aroma of fish and ingredients, which makes people feel very enjoyable.
If you don't cook by yourself, you can't experience this wonderful feeling, which is why Ang Lee wants to cook by himself from time to time.
Looking at the delicious grouper with the most enticing aroma in the oil pan is really wonderful and makes people feel happy.
"Do you know why Ah Lang likes to cook himself?"
Ang Lee asked.
"I want to show off."
Yuna said.
Li An shook his head and said, "Isn't it?" This is because it is very comfortable to be able to cook by yourself and to be able to see the wonderful food cooked by yourself, and there is also a very strong sense of anticipation that the food you make will be ready as soon as possible, and it feels great to be drooling while cooking. ”
As he spoke, both sides of the grouper were fried to a yellowish color, in which case there was no need to continue frying, or it would not be delicious.
"Green onions, ginger and garlic, as well as balsamic vinegar and pepper, pour them all in, add some water, and put in a little salt."
Ang Lee said softly.
After all these ingredients are put into the pot, you only need to wait for a while for the braised grouper to come out of the pot.
It didn't take long for the pot's mouth-watering grouper aroma to waft out, which meant it was ready to come out of the pot in no time.
"It's been a long time since I've eaten grouper, and the grouper I made is even better than the best chef in the world, you two are blessed, haha!"
Li An kept sniffing the aroma of grouper and looked at the two maids.
"Ah Lang, it should be cooked when it smells, do you still need to add fire?"
Yuna asked.
Li An shook his head and said, "No need to add fire, it will be served soon, and we will taste this delicious dish together and bring a plate." ”
Li An used two shovels to get the grouper on the plate, to prevent accidentally breaking the grouper, if it is broken, it will not look good, the fish is used to eat, but the appearance is also good to increase appetite, a plate of fish is generally complete, there can be no damage at all, especially in a place like a restaurant, if the fish is broken, you must make a new one, especially the fish head can not be damaged, otherwise it is unlucky, polite will be very angry.
"Wow, it smells so good! The fish made by Ah Lang is better than that made by the chef. ”
Yuna said.
"Come on, I'll taste it first."
Li An first grabbed a piece with silver chopsticks and gently put it in his mouth.
The taste is very good, even better than the last time, and it seems that there has been some improvement in cooking.
"Well, it's not bad, it tastes delicious, so let's come along! This fish is called grouper, which has a beauty effect, and after eating, it will make people more beautiful, and it will also slow down aging, which is a very good food! ”
Ang Lee said with a smile.
When the second daughter heard that there were so many benefits, she hurriedly picked up chopsticks and ate grouper.
The excited eyes, the intoxicated expression, and the satisfied look are mouthwatering, the beauty is eating delicious, but Ang Lee appreciates the beauty again, she has been cultivating for the past two days, and she is busy tonight.
