The task of selling sea whale meat and boiling sea whale oil was handed over to Xusheng.

Chen Zheng's price for sea whale meat is 40 wen a catty, which is more expensive than the big yellow croaker, but this thing is too rare, even if it is expensive, many people come to buy it.

As for boiling whale oil, it is even simpler, you only need to cut off the whale oil and throw it into an iron pot to boil the oil.

Whale oil is a precious oil, very flame-resistant, with it made of lamp oil, known as Wannian Zhao, is a very favorite item of the princes and nobles.

The whale oil refined by this sea whale must be indispensable, and it will definitely be sold for a lot of money at that time.

Chen Zheng even found the shopkeeper Wang of the Chengxi Pharmacy and asked him to make an advertisement.

Under the temptation of a meal of grilled fish, the shopkeeper Wang agreed to Chen Zheng's request without any resistance.

Subsequently, a secret recipe spread in Dongyang County: sea whale meat can nourish yang and nourish the kidneys, and strengthen the foundation and cultivate yuan!

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that "form complements form", and this sea whale looks from afar, isn't it like an organ in a man's body?

It's just magnified I don't know how many times.

As soon as the secret recipe spread, people who came to the port to buy whale meat flocked to it like flies that smelled fish.

The price of whale meat is about to rise to 100 wen a catty, but the people who buy it are still enthusiastic.

Some women even fought for a piece of whale meat in the process of purchasing.

Obviously, their husbands have a very urgent need for whale meat.

And as a Juquande restaurant famous for its whole fish feast, there is no reason not to come and get a piece of the pie.

It's just that after Meng Chujiu came to the port, he obviously didn't have to queue up to buy it.

Xu Sheng had already sorted and wrapped the prepared sea whale meat and other fresh sea fish, waiting for Meng Chujiu to come.

Meng Chujiu had never seen such a large creature, although some parts of this sea whale had bones exposed, but he could also see how majestic he was in the sea when he was alive.

All the fish and meat were loaded into the car, and Xu Sheng said to Meng Chujiu: "Brother Chujiu, the meat of this sea whale is strong, but the smell is too strong, but you have to think about the cooking method, otherwise it will not be delicious." ”

Meng Chujiu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry about this, as long as it is something that can be eaten, when it comes to my hands, it will naturally become something delicious."

Xu Sheng studied cooking skills with Meng Chujiu, and he was very relieved of his ability.

To be honest, whale meat is not delicious, whether it is steamed or boiled, it has a fishy smell.

The women bought the whale meat and prepared it for their men to eat, but the smell was so fishy that it was hard to swallow.

The women themselves don't eat it, so they don't care about the taste, and for the sake of a happy life in the future, they force their men to eat it.

The women knew in their hearts that it was for the good of their men.

This is really a pain for the men of Dongyang County, who are desperately waiting for someone to find a way to cook whale meat.

As a result, the men of Dongyang County focused their attention on Juquande Restaurant.

Because they know that Meng Chujiu, the chef of Juquande Restaurant, is a good at making fish, and now they can only hope that he can find the right way to cook whale meat.

This sea whale meat has brought a problem to Meng Chujiu.

After trying a variety of commonly used cooking methods, the fishy smell in the sea whale meat is still difficult to get rid of, and it always fails to meet Meng Chujiu's requirements.

Faced with this problem, Meng Chujiu was not discouraged, but rose to the occasion.

He hadn't encountered a challenge for a long time, but when he faced the sea whale meat, he actually had a trace of excitement.

For a few days, after Meng Chujiu wasted dozens of catties of sea whale meat, he still had no satisfactory results.

So, Chen Zheng couldn't sit still, dozens of catties of sea whale meat, according to the current market price, that is a few taels of silver!

"Brother Chu Jiu, haven't you studied the method of sea whale meat?" Chen Zheng came to the back kitchen, pinched his nose and asked.

Meng Chujiu shook his head and said, "This sea whale meat is too strange, and the meat quality is different from any other fish. ”

Chen Zheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect that this Meng Chujiu would be able to distinguish the difference between the two from the quality of the flesh, which is also rare.

"Why don't you think differently?" Chen Zheng suggested.

Meng Chujiu looked puzzled, raised his head, and asked, "Change your mind?" What is the way of thinking? ”

Chen Zheng smiled slightly, and said step by step: "Don't treat this sea whale meat as fish, but as ordinary mutton and beef, let's try it." ”

Meng Chujiu frowned, and said, "This sea whale is obviously a big fish, why is it regarded as a genus of cattle and sheep?" ”

"You just give it a try, don't ask too much." Chen Zhengdao.

Chen Zheng was simply too lazy to explain, did he want to tell Meng Chujiu that sea whales are not fishes, but mammals?

Next, to explain the difference between mammals and fish?

One viviparously, breathing with lungs; An oviparous, breathing with the gills?

Even if you explain it to him, I guess he won't understand it.

Meng Chujiu really didn't understand Chen Zheng's words, but Chen Zheng, as one of the owners of Juquande, his advice was still very effective.

So, Meng Chujiu changed his thinking about cooking.

There is no steaming, no cooking, Meng Chujiu uses stir-frying!

Sesame pepper, green onion ginger, large ingredients, mixed with hot oil, and the sound of cheering can make people give birth to liquid.

After the fried sea whale meat came out of the pot, Meng Chujiu hurriedly picked up a piece and sent it to his mouth.

Meng Chujiu was burned and inhaled the cool air, but he forcibly bit it, and suddenly a unique fragrance spread in his mouth.

The strength of the sea whale's flesh has not disappeared, but it is extremely refreshing, this is another delicacy that he pioneered Meng Chujiu!

At this time, Meng Chujiu remembered Chen Zheng's words again, and couldn't help but be convinced.

Although he still didn't understand why this sea whale was not like fish meat, but more like beef and mutton, he knew one thing, that is, listening to his uncle's words, he could never be wrong.

Immediately, according to this idea, Meng Chujiu invented a series of sea whale dishes.

Stir-fried sea whale meat with green onions, braised sea whale meat, marinated sea whale meat, sea whale meat soup, sea whale shrimp balls and so on.

Meng Chu was very satisfied, these dishes were put together and could be a feast.

So, that night, a banquet called "Whale Swallow" was set up at the gate of Juquande.

The invitees included Bi Yuanwai in the north of the city, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy in the west of the city, the shopkeeper Xu of Haidaiyuan, and the scribe of the government office.

Passers-by only have a chance to see it, but they don't have a chance to taste it.

"They're eating whale meat?" A pedestrian asked

"Of course, you can see what is written next to it, the banquet is 'whale swallowing', and all kinds of dishes are made of sea whale meat." Another pedestrian replied.

"But this whale meat is not delicious at all." One of them said, his expression was very painful, and it was clear that he had eaten.

"This is Juquande, the best at making fish feasts, do you see the eating appearance of several of them, it seems to be unpalatable?"

At this moment, above the banquet, there was a shout: "It's so fragrant! ”
