Chapter 1344: Cold Kelp Silk

Master Hou, the fish and shrimp have also been cleaned! "A few cooks brought the cleaned fish and shrimp and put them on the wooden table.

"The second stove makes a fire, and the iron pot is added with water and steamed!" Chen Xu ordered to start processing the sea fish.

First of all, two groupers, use a knife to cut a few cuts on the fish, smear fine salt, add a little pepper and some wine and put it in an enamel basin to cover, this is ready to make a steamed grouper.

When marinating the grouper, Chen Xu chopped a few hairtails into two-inch-long pieces for later use, and several pomfret also used a knife to pull a few times, marinated them with cooking wine and prepared to dry roast.

There were still seven or eight yellow croakers and trash fish of different sizes left, and Chen Xu didn't bother to cook them one by one, preparing to make them directly into fried wine.

When Chen Xu finished the preparations, not only was the cauldron of the snake meat already full of fragrance, but the water in the iron pot ready to be steamed also began to boil, so Chen Xu hurriedly put shredded ginger and green onions into the pickled grouper, and then put the enamel basin on top of the steaming grid, covered the pot and steamed it.

"Hiss~ so fragrant!"

After the steamed fish was put into the pot, Chen Xu lifted the lid of the pot for stewing snake meat, and with a burst of steam, a rich fragrance spread out with the wind, and the scene instantly sounded a burst of exclamation and swallowing saliva.

"Engong, is this snake meat cooked?" Yu Wuya couldn't wait to pick up a pair of chopsticks and stand by the pot, his hands trembling like chicken feet wind.

Chen Xu slowly turned the rich snake meat back and forth with a spatula, and then scooped up a little soup and tasted it, and his face instantly bloomed leisurely: "The snake meat is really still delicious!" ”

After tasting the soup, Chen Xu unhurriedly picked up a piece of snake meat with chopsticks, chewed it slowly, and then nodded again and again: "It's cooked, it's ready to come out of the pot!" ”

"Goo Dong ~ Goo Dong ~"

When Chen Xu tasted the snake meat, a large circle of people around him all began to shrug their throats in unison, Yu Wuya heard Chen Xu say that it was okay to eat, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece and throw it into his mouth, while screaming that it was delicious and delicious, he took a vegetable basin and began to fill it, and after most of the filling was done, he dropped the spatula and went straight to the shade of Xia Zijin and Shui Qingrou and a group of women who were staying, and his mouth was also shouting, "Zijin, junior sister, hurry up, the snake soup is out of the pot, delicious and tight!" ”

Chen Xu didn't pay attention to Yu Wuya, this is a big foodie, a scum who seeks immortals and asks, he only likes to eat and drink, and he doesn't look like a master in the world at all.

Wash the pot, start to make hairtail and pomfret, hairtail braised and pomfret fried, is the most common homely practice, and then it is boiled shrimp in white water, which is the simplest, boil the water and put the shrimp in it and roll it a few times to get out of the pot, when eating, peel the shell and dip it in the ginger vinegar sauce to prepare the saucer on the line, so that the meat is tender and delicious enough.

After making three dishes, the steamed grouper is also out of the pot, pour the soup and pour two spoons of soy sauce, then heat two taels of oil under the iron pot, and fry the chopped green onion shredded pepper and a small amount of yellow mustard into the pot and pour it on the fish, this steamed grouper is completely completed.

In the end, there was still a fried yellow croaker, not long after the pot, two black and thin young fishermen came back, sweating profusely and carrying a large basket of kelp and various seaweeds with a bamboo basket, looking at the fried food in the oil pot tumbling fragrant, and suddenly their eyes were straight and they couldn't walk.

"You...... Do you think there is enough kelp and seaweed? A teenager stammered as he swallowed his saliva.

"Enough is enough, don't panic, I'll ask you to eat a fish, and I'll ask you for help later!" Chen Xu glanced at the bamboo basket and nodded with a smile.

"Eh, yes!" The two teenagers nodded busily, their Adam's apple stirring.

Because at this time, the whole beach was floating with a strong fragrance, and they had not eaten for half a day, and they already felt that their souls were completely out of control.

Soon the fried fish came out of the pot, and the two teenagers got a happy little mouth and licked it and squatted next to it to taste it, Chen Xu dropped the oil pot and rummaged in the bamboo basket.

There are many plants in the sea, and there are many varieties of plants, and there are many natural ones that can be eaten, but there are only a few of the most common, kelp, sea cabbage, seaweed, stone cauliflower and dragon's beard.

The most common of these dishes is kelp and seaweed, almost every household has eaten, kelp is thick, the most common way to eat is cold salad and stewed soup, such as stewed pork ribs and large bone pig's feet, etc., seaweed is simpler, generally used to make soup.

As a former takeaway brother, these common sea vegetables are very popular in the takeaway market.

Chen Xu rummaged through the bamboo baskets, picked out some of the kinds he knew and could eat from the bamboo basket, and after a simple treatment, he instructed the kitchen to take it to the stream water to clean it, put it in a cauldron and add water to boil.

The easiest way to eat these kelp, cauliflower, and dragon mustard is to mix them cold, and it's too late to stew pork ribs and make soup!

Of course, while cooking, Chen Xu still introduced the simple method of these sea vegetables in detail to a circle of cooks, and after boiling the water in the pot and continuing to cook for a quarter of an hour, Chen Xu scooped up some of the boiled kelp, dragon mustard, stone cauliflower, shredded or cut into small pieces with a knife, put it in an enamel basin, poured some fruit vinegar and a small amount of wine, soy sauce, fine salt, brown sugar, and then poured ginger, garlic, pepper, sesame pepper, yellow mustard and other ingredients with boiling oil and poured on it, after mixing well, a simple and delicious cold salad of sea vegetables is finished.

"You can just quit your job and do the rest of the seafood......"

Chen Xu was busy for an hour, and at this time he was already sweating, and after the two servants helped him take off his coat and hat, he went to take care of his daughter and a group of wives and concubines with a basin of cold salad and kelp.

"Engong is coming, I'm waiting for you!"

There are a few mats spread under the shade of the trees, Xia Zijin is softly Meng Wan, Ying Shiyan, Yu Ji, Chen Xi and others are all sitting on the ground, there are several enamel basins and dishes on them, which contain prepared snake meat and fish and shrimp meals, everyone is still waiting at this time, and Yu Wuya, Han Xin, Cao Shen, and a few fleet directors are sitting on the grass next to them, and there are also some enamel dishes in front of them, but a few people have already rolled up their sleeves to eat happily, seeing Chen Xu coming, Yu Wuya couldn't help but raise chopsticks and say hello.

Chen Xu ignored this foodie, but brought the cold salad to a group of women, put the vegetable bowl on the mat and sat down and said with a smile: "How is it, is the dizziness better?" ”

"Thank you husband for your concern, it's already much better!" Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan replied with a slight blush.

"Xi'er is not dizzy anymore!" Chen Xi also hurriedly expressed his existence.

"It's good not to get dizzy, you're all hungry, let's eat, and wait for those fishermen to get the seashells later, and then make the delicious food you want!" Come on, Xi'er, this is the kelp you want to eat, you won't get big neck disease if you eat it......" Chen Xu used chopsticks to put a large amount of chopsticks into his daughter's bowl of cold kelp shreds.

"Thank you, Daddy!" Chen Xi knelt on the mat, happily picked up the enamel bowl and picked up a piece of kelp and tasted it, and instantly shouted happily, "Daddy's kelp is so delicious, my mother hurry up and taste it." ”

A group of women all picked up chopsticks and tasted them, and then they all nodded and praised it, saying that the dish was very refreshing, sweet and sour, and it was indeed delicious.

"Husband has been busy for so long, don't patronize us and Xi'er, you can eat too!"

Several women took turns to start serving dishes to Chen Xu, and Chen Xu did feel hungry, and those who came did not refuse, so they quickly ate two bowls of rice with a few dishes, and then they felt a lot better.

"Master Hou, come over and drink!" Cao Shen next to him saw Chen Xu put down the dishes and chopsticks, so he held up a wine bottle to say hello.

"You eat slowly, and when you're full, we'll go to the beach to dig shells!" Chen Xu stood up and changed the banquet to continue eating with Yu Wuya and the others.

Although the meals are simple, they are all made by Chen Xu himself, and the taste is naturally different from that of ordinary restaurants, Yu Wuya and Han Xin are better, after all, they can often be eaten in Xianyang, but it is different for Cao Shen and several fleet directors, this is simply a peerless meal.

But in half an hour, several pots of fish, meat, shrimp and snakes were eaten cleanly, and even the soup was not spared, during which the chef brought a pot of cold sea vegetables, and there was not a single shredded ginger left for a group of people to eat with wine.

"Hiccup~ This meal is comfortable, I can eat this meal made by Master Hou himself, and this trip is not in vain!"

Full of wine and food, a group of men sat on the grass, looking at the boatmen who were busy and finishing eating and were cleaning up pots and pans, Cao Shen burped and hummed comfortably.

"That's it, I still expect you to help Daqin train an invincible Daqin sailor to conquer the world, and you will be satisfied with a few simple delicacies?" Chen Xu pouted and said.

"There is Hou Ye strategizing, there is this kind of giant boat that chops waves and waves rampant across the sea, there are Shenwei artillery and Shenlei muskets, it is only a matter of time before the world is conquered, and when the Hou Ye is busy with this matter, his subordinates will arrange a fleet to go to the South China Sea, and find the route to the West as soon as possible, and in another two years, when my Daqin has built hundreds of giant ships, by then the giant sails are like clouds, ships and cannons are like thunder, and the ships are everywhere Those barbarian countries in the West have not surrendered one after another, a ship of gold and silver treasures, a ship of slaves, Boatload by boat, those blonde and blue-eyed Western ladies that the marquis said, haha, all of them are our dripping ......"

The more Cao Shen spoke, the more excited he became, and his saliva began to drip down.

And under the stimulation of Cao Shen's words, the brain made up for that magnificent scene, and in an instant, several fleet directors were as excited as if they were crazy with chicken feet, and their eyes began to glow green.

"Brother, I also want to take a ship to the West to open my eyes!" Han Xin sat next to him, his face was also full of anticipation and excitement.

"Well, if you really want to go, after this time, you will go to the Maritime Academy with Dean Cao, follow the fleet to pacify the Korean Sanhan tribe first, learn a lot of navigation knowledge and ship command on weekdays, you are proficient in the art of war, and you followed the Marquis of Tongwu to participate in the suppression of the Xiang rebels and the battle of Lingnan Baiyue, plus such a powerful fleet, I believe that the whole world can go!"

"Thank you, brother!" Han Xin stood up excitedly and saluted.
