Chen Chen praised everyone, and let people select fresh seafood and carry it into the palace. ┡Ω 8) (1) Chinese Net. 『８⒈

"Your Majesty, there is still too much seafood now, what do you say should I do?" The accompanying official said to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen nodded and said: "Since there is still too much seafood and seafood is a new product, then of course we must put it into the market, sell the seafood to the people, and let the people share it." ”

"Oh, by the way, let some of the best cooks be brought to the palace, I have something to order."

The retinue immediately nodded, and then went about their errands as the emperor ordered.

In the evening, many of the cooks were summoned to the palace, and they all agreed to stare at each other, not knowing what His Majesty the Emperor was going to do.

Chen Chen looked at everyone and smiled slightly: "Don't be afraid, don't worry, I found a home this time to let everyone cook a good meal for me." Immediately after saying that, someone brought up the seafood, and at the same time brought all kinds of spices.

When these chefs heard this, they immediately relieved themselves and immediately went down with the ingredients and started to operate.

Chen Chen, Commander Wei and the others discussed things while waiting for the food.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I plan to personally go out for overseas trade this time, and the major domestic affairs will be taken care of by Chen Cheng, Shangguan Yu and others, I hope you can work hard and not live up to my expectations."

"Your Majesty is going to travel in person this time?" Shangguan Yu was stunned.

Chen Chen nodded: "Yes, I plan to travel by myself this time, of course, there are still some things that I need to deal with before leaving, such as going to sea to fish this time, the matter of the Dragon Lord seems to spread very quickly among the people." ”

"Your Majesty......" Everyone was shocked, and everyone knew in their hearts that His Majesty was particularly opposed to the topic of the Dragon Lord, and now that His Majesty personally brought it up, it must have been Long Yan who was furious.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a stubborn person, the reason why the people have such thoughts is nothing more than the influence of historical reasons, and they can't be blamed for it, so I plan to take a good ** of these stubborn thoughts." Looking at everyone's nervous expressions, Chen Chen smiled slightly.

After a while, an official walked up to the main hall with a box, opened the box, and saw that it was full of books.

"This is a book written by me myself, and the Ministry of Industry has recently printed it, so let's take a good look at it."

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly agreed, and everyone quickly took out a copy from the bookcase. This was written by His Majesty himself, who dares not to look good.

After a while, the seafood was ready, and everyone started eating under the leadership of Chen Chen, the taste of seafood was so delicious, everyone didn't expect that seafood was so delicious, and the taste of seafood was different from things like pork.

During the banquet, Chen Chen took advantage of the meal to explain the natural science phenomena in the book to everyone.

In the hearts of everyone, although it was a little difficult to accept this new thing, and they still couldn't get out of the thoughts of the Dragon Lord, His Majesty explained these phenomena so clearly and clearly, and they couldn't help but believe it.

Chen Chen looked at everyone's expressions and knew that it was only a matter of time before they accepted this matter.

After eating, he explained the affairs of the country to the people, and then ordered the people to go home.

Chen Chen summoned the chef again: "Thank you for your hard work, let people give you a bounty." ”

When the chefs heard this, they quickly knelt down and buckled their heads.

"Don't be busy thanking, but let everyone do one more thing, everyone should also know that this seafood is not easy to store, so I don't know if there is a way for everyone to store these seafood and make it into dried fish and something like that." Looking at these highly skilled chefs, Chen Chen smiled slightly, the seafood and fish soup just now made him have endless aftertaste, although these chefs also have real skills, so the dried fish must be very wonderful.

One cook said, "Your Majesty, the ancestors of the minister left a method of first removing the moisture from this meat, and then adding seasoning and salt to marinate it into dried fish. ”

"Yes, yes, that's the way, I don't know if the master can make it right away, I want to taste it." Chen Chen was overjoyed when he heard it.

The master naturally didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

The others were quickly sent away by the officials, leaving the master alone to make dried fish for Chen Chen.

Chen Chen lay down to rest, and the others also went to rest, only this master was making dried fish in the imperial dining room at the moment.

When Chen Chen got up the next day, the master had already finished the dried fish and put it on the plate and sent it to Chen Chen.

Chen Chen washed his face with saliva, and then looked at the dried fish on the plate.

The fish has been dried at the moment, each size of the dried fish is the same, the dried fish is covered with bright chili powder, peppercorn powder and a variety of appetizing seasonings, the dried fish is also full of fresh vegetables, vegetables and meat matching, this nutrition is naturally not to mention.

Picking up a dried fish and stuffing it into your mouth, I immediately felt that the mouth was fragrant and delicious, and the dried fish was also very chewy.

"Master, how did you do this? Can you tell me? Chen Chen devoured the plate of dried fish, and then hurriedly said.

This kind of food can really be said to be delicious, if this delicacy is taken out to sell to the outside world, then it is definitely a small food that is very suitable for leisure travel, when the time comes to add the brand of Dongshui, if the sea travel opens up a new route, not only can you open up the market, but also you can eat and drink along the way, it is really a double win.

The master hurriedly said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

There are four main steps to make dried fish: cutting and peeling, washing, salting, and drying.

1. The key step in making dried fish is to dehydrate the dried fish, so it is necessary to use three forms of dorsal section, abdominal section and ventral section according to the size of the fish.

Back section, generally used for fish with large and thick meat. When cutting, the knife is fed from the second scale under the dorsal fin of the fish, and when the knife reaches the skull, it is slightly obliquely cut in the middle of the skull. Remove the internal organs and tooth piers, and gently scrape off the blood stains on the spine and the black mucosa in the abdomen with a razor blade. If the fish is large, the swallowing knife, clamping knife and slice knife should be opened under the backbone and at the thick part of the meat on the other side to make the salt water easy to penetrate. If the fish is small and thin, it can be cut into the abdomen. That is, the knife is inserted in the middle of the fish's abdomen, and the two pieces are symmetrically dissected. If the ventral edge is cut, it can be cut into the middle line of the fish body, up to the periphery of the fish eye, and down to the tail **. After cutting, the internal organs are removed.

2. Washing, after cutting, before the blood coagulation, use a brush to wash off the blood stains and mucus in clean water one by one, put it in the basket, drip dry the water, and then pickle. You can also put the washed fish body into the brine prepared in advance, soak it for 3~5 hours, take out the drip dry brine, and then marinate.

3. Salting, determine the amount of salt according to the size of the fish, generally 18~24 kg of salt per 1oo kg of fish. There are fewer in winter and spring, and more in summer and autumn. When marinating, rub the salt evenly on the body, gills, swallowing knife, eyeballs and fishing holes. Then it is placed in the marinating pond, the meat is facing up, the scales are downward, the head is slightly lowered, and the tail is obliquely upward, layer upon layer. When stacked to the pool mouth, you can continue to stack until the pool mouth is 1o~15 cm. After 4~5 hours, when the fish shrinks to be level with the mouth of the pool, a layer of sealing salt is sprinkled, and the surface is covered with bamboo slices and pressurized with stones. The fish body is immersed in brine, which fully absorbs the salt and removes the water.

4. When the fish is browned, the fish body is washed once with brine to remove the contaminated dirt, and the brine is dried before drying.

Listening to this master's method, Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction, it was quite formal. (To be continued.) )
