"Let's ignore him, your great-grandfather has this temperament, he doesn't like to talk, and he is interested in his board all day long." The beardless old man looked at the soft-shelled turtle in Fang Yichen's hand, "Yo, it's really not small, girl, can you kill the soft-shelled turtle?" ”

Fang Yichen shook his head, the last time he splashed blood on the ground, he shouldn't be considered a killer.

"Come on, grandpa will teach you." The old man turned around with the soft-shelled turtle and went to the hall, "I won't kill my grandfather at the beginning, but you still taught it by Grandma Li." ”

Fang Yichen hurriedly followed behind his ass and walked out.

"Oops, it's all boiled!" The beardless old man smiled when he saw that the stove had been lit, this old lady has a straight face all day long, but her heart is softer than anyone else.

Grandma Li ignored him, saw that the fire was on, put the lid on the pot, and turned back to the room on the right.

"Don't look at your Grandma Li and don't want to laugh, in fact, people are good." The beardless old man was afraid that the children would be afraid, so he quickly explained.

"Well, I know, I think Grandma Li, the great-grandpa I just met, and grandpa, you are all good people." It's time for Fang Yichen to pat himself on the back.

"Hehe, the little girl is really flamboyant." The beardless old man was amused, "How do you know that old man's surname is Zeng?" ”

"Didn't you just say that?" Fang Yichen was stunned by his question, thinking to himself if he had heard it wrong?

"Did I say that?" The beardless old man thought about it for a while, but he didn't remember, forget it, "You know the surnames of both of them, the little girl can't favor one over the other, my surname is He, remember to call me Grandpa He in the future." ”

"Well, Grandpa He is good." Fang Yichen greeted him obediently. Now she recognized all the three old people here, and after more contact, she knew their names, Grandma Li's name is Li Xuelan, 66 years old this year, Grandpa He's name is He Yongzhi, 64 years old this year, Grandpa Great's name is Zeng Wencheng, don't look at his beard, in fact, he is the youngest of the three, he is 57 years old this year.

"Hehe, okay, Grandpa He hasn't seen such a cute child for a long time." Grandpa He touched her hair, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes, "Okay, the water is boiling, let's start." ”

After that, it's time to teach how to kill soft-shelled turtles.

Don't look at it as a fish, but there is more knowledge in it than killing fish. Fang Yichen also knew how outrageous he was wrong before.

"The first step is to turn it over, its head will stick out, see, at this time gently give it a knife to its neck, this is the trachea, this knife cuts its trachea and it dies, and at the same time its blood can't flow out, so that the blood stays in the body, and the soup is more nourishing and fresh."

Fang Yichen pursed her lips, she also stabbed down, and the blood spurted out.

"Then put it in the water and blanch it, just like this, grab its tail and put it in whole, blanch it for two or three minutes, and then quickly fish it out."

She seems to have forgotten about it.

"After fishing it out, quickly stroke it on its head, feet, tail, and belly with both hands, and the skin will come down very easily."

Yes? Does the soft-shelled turtle still need to be peeled, she thought it was the same as the fish, just clean it up and throw it in the pot.

Grandpa He looked at her and frowned, and thought that she thought it was too cruel to kill the soft-shelled turtle, so he said: "It seems to be quite cruel, but in fact, you think too much, they are all for people to eat, but the way of death is different." If you think about it, this is no different from killing a fish and killing a pig, you have to stab it when you kill a pig, kill the fish and knock it out directly, and then peel the skin and bones. ”

Fang Yichen really wanted to tell this old man, don't talk about it, I didn't think it yet, let him say this, she saw that the soft-shelled turtles on the cutting board didn't seem to be so fragrant.

"Come, the next step, uncover the shell, this is a technical job."

Grandpa He taught very seriously, explaining while teaching, not only talking about the steps, but also explaining the role it played, and then adding a sentence, which was taught to him by Grandma Li.

Fang Yichen studied very seriously, after all, he had to count on it to save money in the future.

Twenty minutes later, a soft-shelled turtle was chopped into small squares and filled with a small pot.

"Okay, my work is done, and I have to do it with your Grandma Li." Grandpa He smiled and washed his bloody hands.

Grandma Li in the room on the right heard the words in the hall, and without anyone calling, she pushed the door and walked out of the house, holding a bowl in her hand.

Fang Yichen took a peek, she knew everything inside, including red dates, wolfberries, and a codonopsis. She breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, these things are quite common, and this soft-shelled turtle soup can still be drunk at home.

Grandma Li came over and took over the work in front of the stove, "I'll teach you a soft-shelled turtle nourishing soup, which is just right for your mother to drink now." After a pause, he inadvertently added, "Of course, it is also good for you to drink." ”

Fang Yichenle showed his millet teeth again, "Grandma Li, I will drink with my mother in the future, I will drink fish soup cutely, you don't know, I was thin before, and then it was because of drinking fish soup, you see that I am fat now." She said and pinched the soft flesh of her cheek with two fingers.

Grandma Li couldn't help but move her fingers when she looked at it, and finally turned her head and looked at the iron pot with an expressionless face, "Don't talk nonsense, you can't learn yet." ”

"Learn, I'll learn." Fang Yichen's little milk voice was a little aggrieved.

"If you look at it carefully, I'll teach it again." After Grandma Li finished speaking, she lifted the lid of the pot, and the hot water in it had already boiled.

"Pour the killed soft-shelled turtle pieces into boiling water first, so that the fat on the meat can be removed." Grandma Li quickly fished out the discolored pieces of meat from the pot.

Grandpa He had already been waiting there with a basin of cold water, and after the soft-shelled turtle meat was poured into the basin, he reached out a few times to wash them and take them out for later use.

After washing the pot, the pot was boiled again, and Grandma Li put the cleaned soft-shelled turtle meat into it again.

"It's better to stew in a casserole, but now there's only an iron pot, so make do with it."

Fang Yichen watched every step of Grandma Li very carefully beside her, in fact, the soft-shelled turtle stew soup is quite simple, as long as she remembers a few of the steps, if she is asked to say it, she thinks that killing the soft-shelled turtle is more difficult than stewing soft-shelled turtle soup.

After the water in the pot was turned over again, Grandma Li poured red dates, wolfberries and codonopsis into it in turn.

"Now the conditions are not allowed, so I make this is the most simplified version of the soft-shelled turtle health soup, if there are conditions, after the soup boils, pour some high-concentration liquor, which will make the soup taste more rich, and the alcohol will make the medicinal properties of the herbs better penetrate into the soup."

"Besides, if you put another black chicken or pigeon in it, the nourishing effect will be even better." Grandma Li sighed with emotion when she put on the lid of the iron pot.
