Chapter Thirty-Eight: Set Almost

At night, it was dark, and Fang Yichen went to the landlord's house again with the tail of the soft-shelled turtle.

"Grandma Li, I'm here." She walked around the outside for a while, and then she walked into the courtyard and shouted in a whisper at the door.

A few people in the room didn't expect people to come at this point, and the lights in the two rooms were lit up one after another.

"Why are you here again?" Dr. Li looked at the child in front of him and frowned.

Fang Yichen showed a smirk, "I've sent you a soft-shelled turtle!" ”

"Hey, good boy." He Yongzhi was very happy and touched her head.

"I don't think you can do it, so I brought it here and let us help you." Dr. Li felt that she had seen through this little girl, and she seemed to be quite obedient and honest, but in fact, she was eccentric inside.

"Hey, hey, hey, in fact, I should know it, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to do it well, after all, I've only learned it once." Fang Yichen continued to smirk, she felt that there seemed to be no problem with stewing this piece, it was the piece that killed the soft-shelled turtle, she felt that she was not sure, and she might be a little more sure if she looked at it a few more times and then started.

"I'll teach you all over again." Dr. Li frowned.

"I'll just learn how to kill soft-shelled turtles from Grandpa He." Fang Yichen took a look at this and that, I heard that the old man and the old lady had a very strange temperament, she still had something to ask them, but don't pay attention to offending.

"Hahaha, did you hear it, if you don't teach, people won't learn." He Yongzhi was very bad, and deliberately misinterpreted her words, "Come on, come on, Grandpa He will teach you to kill soft-shelled turtles, you can learn it a few times if you want." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa He." Fang Yichen was happy, in order not to offend people, she took care of it and thanked Grandma Li, "Thank you Grandma Li, my mother drank the soft-shelled turtle soup you taught me, and I love to drink it too." ”

Dr. Li snorted softly and turned his head to walk towards his room, but when he turned around, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled.

"Hehe, I also love to drink, today by the light of the little girl, Grandpa He can drink it again." After He Yongzhi finished speaking, he was ready to copy the kitchen knife to work, it was not early now, and the stewed soup would take two hours.

"Grandpa He, can you let me try? I just don't know the bottom of my mind, you are watching me do the right thing, if not, you will tell me. Fang Yichen asked.

In fact, she understood the process yesterday, but there are some details that she is afraid that she will not be able to do, just like the first step taught by Grandpa He, to cut off the trachea of the soft-shelled turtle with a knife, she is afraid that the knife will be ruthless, and the bloodshed of killing the soft-shelled turtle for the first time will occur.

"Okay, you can try it, don't worry about it, what grandfather will carry for you." He Yongzhi really gave up his position to the little girl, and then moved a small bench and sat aside to watch.

Fang Yichen didn't go to get the kitchen knife first, but took the apron from the stove and wrapped it around his body. She was afraid that her hands would not be allowed to splash blood for a while.

When I was ready, I picked up the kitchen knife and turned the soft-shelled turtle over with my hands.

"The first step, turn it over first, its head will stick out, this time to its neck lightly give a knife, this is the trachea, this knife cut its trachea and it died, at the same time its blood can not flow out, so that the blood remains in the body, the soup is more nourishing and fresh." Fang Yichen muttered in his mouth while staring at the movement of the soft-shelled turtle, but he never found a chance to go under the knife.

He Yongzhi was a little surprised, this little girl actually memorized what she said yesterday word for word.

At this moment, Fang Yichen finally took out the knife, and as she expected, this knife not only cut off its trachea, but also cut off half of its head, and immediately blood splattered on the ground again.

"Oops, failed." Fang Yichen was a little annoyed.

"It's okay, it's okay, then don't have blood, and the nutrition is not bad." As He Yongzhi spoke, he picked up the dead soft-shelled turtle on the ground upside down to make the blood flow faster.

"Don't talk nonsense there." As soon as He Yongzhi's words fell, Grandma Li's voice of scolding came from the room on the right.

He Yongzhi shrank his neck, then made a shushing gesture with Fang Yichen, and whispered, "Go on, go on, leave her alone." ”

Fang Yichen smiled, thinking that this Grandpa He really had the potential of an old naughty boy, which was quite interesting.

"The second step is to boil the water, wait for the water to boil, and then put it in the water to scald, just like this, grab its tail and put it in whole, scald it for two or three minutes, and then quickly take it out." Fang Yichen took the soft-shelled turtle from He Yongzhi's hand, stepped on the bench, grabbed the tail and threw it into the pot. She didn't dare to be like He Yongzhi, always holding the tail of the soft-shelled turtle, she was afraid of being scalded by hot water.

Just now, He Yongzhi had already lit a fire to boil water, and at this time the water in the pot was already boiling, and it was just right to use.

He Yongzhi squinted at Fang Yichen counting in his mouth, and when she counted to one hundred and two, she began to pick up the spatula by the stove, and took a pair of chopsticks in her right hand.

"You're left-handed." He Yongzhi asked.

"Well, I'm left-handed." Fang Yichen had already counted to one hundred and fifteen, "The third step, after taking it out, quickly stroke it on its head, feet, tail, and stomach with both hands, and the skin will come down very easily." Oops, hot, hot! ”

As soon as the soft-shelled turtle came out of the pot, she learned Grandpa He's movements to pick up the skin, but was scalded by the high temperature of the soft-shelled turtle's skin and quickly retracted her claws.

"Hahaha, your hands are too tender, not like grandpa's rough skin and thick meat." Although He Yongzhi said this, he didn't mean to help at all.

Fang Yichen didn't need his help, turned around and found a basin, scooped a scoop of cold water from the water tank next to her, and then she dipped her hand in the cold water basin, and then went to peel the skin of the soft-shelled turtle.

Next, Fang Yichen repeated the knowledge points taught by Grandpa He yesterday, although it looked a little clumsy, but the operation was correct.

But when it came time to shell the soft-shelled turtle, Fang Yichen was really a little powerless, it was really a job that required strength, and her age and figure limited her strength.

He Yongzhi was still holding his arms and watching the excitement beside him, and he had no intention of helping.

"Grandpa He, didn't you say you carried it for me just now?" Fang Yichen said accusatorily.

"Oh, the little girl is waiting for me here!" He Yongzhi was happy, "Hurry up, my water is boiled again." ”

Fang Yichen saw that he really didn't interrupt the help, so he could only give up asking for help and prepare to find a way to solve the difficulty by himself, so he watched her walk around the kitchen, and finally picked out a wooden stick that was not too long but somewhat thick from the firewood, and then walked back to the soft-shelled turtle with it, and inserted the wooden stick between the kitchen knife and the soft-shelled turtle shell.

Then she used her hands and feet at the same time, stepped on the handle of the kitchen knife, broke the wooden stick with her hand, and did not forget to chop her feet in the middle, so that the kitchen knife went inside, and that's it, and after a while, she removed the shell.

The only drawback is that there is a lot of meat on the turtle shell, and He Zhiyong separated the shell from the meat cleanly yesterday.

Fang Yichen doesn't care about that, it's good to be able to get it down.

The next hurdle was chopping the turtle shell into several pieces, and this time she didn't use a stick, but just picked it up on the bench under her ass.

It can be said that the process of dismembering the soft-shelled turtle was hard, but the result was gratifying, and finally under the supervision of He Yongzhi, she successfully completed the task of killing the soft-shelled turtle alone.
