180. God Chef Girl
The girl did not speak, but made her way through the crowd and went straight to the octopus tentacles, took out a knife, and gently cut a strip of flesh on it.
"The meat is fresh, the taste is pure, it is the best ingredient, and this time I earned it!"
"Hey! You haven't answered my question yet? ”
The man seemed to be a little impatient, and reached out to forcibly pull the girl up, but what he didn't expect was that a flash of knife flashed, and the knife came to his neck, and the hand wielding the knife came from the little girl who was talking to herself.
"I don't have to answer your questions, I only talk to the ingredients!"
The knife was withdrawn, and the girl returned to the three octopus tentacles, studying them carefully.
Although those crew members didn't know her, Yu Meng and the others were very impressed by her.
"Isn't this the little girl Chen Xiao accosted when she first got on the boat? Didn't expect her to be so powerful? Yu Meng said softly.
"The speed of swinging the knife is very fast, and it looks like it has been professionally trained..."
"She's not going to be a killer, is she?" Xiaoying asked excitedly.
"How can there be a killer as small as her? Impossible! ”
The girl didn't care about the words of the people around her, she held the meat with her left hand and turned the knife with her right hand, and the knife in her hand was like a streamer phantom, flipping and cutting on the tentacles, and the people around her were pleasing to the eye.
As the speed of the knife became faster and faster, one by one the squid shreds were also scattered on both sides, and the people around just wanted to pick it up, but they were scolded by the girl.
"Don't move! Stand farther away! ”
The crowd hurriedly stopped moving and retreated to their original positions.
In fact, those are already finished shredded squid, and the reason why the girl won't let them touch them is because she is afraid that they will stain her ingredients, and if they are dirty, they will not taste good.
After finishing the shredded squid, the girl said to the crew.
"You guys, after you've washed your hands, take these things to the back kitchen!"
The crew rushed to the bathroom to wash their hands, and after washing their hands, they moved the shredded squid to the back kitchen.
The girl had already gone to the back kitchen, prepared all kinds of spices, knives, pots and pans, and began to make this special dish.
There was no electrical equipment on the ship, and it was all about cooking and cooking on fire.
However, after some tossing just now, the inside and outside of the ship have been covered with seawater, and although they have cleaned it up, the firewood in the warehouse is still damp and cannot be lit.
The situation overwhelmed everyone, and at the same time wanted to see how the girl would solve the problem.
"This girl is so arrogant? I'd like to see what she can do with this damp wood. ”
The man who was threatened just now was obviously not convinced, but he just held the mentality of watching the excitement and complained on the side.
The girl looked at the damp wood on the ground, and at the people in the distance, and smiled slightly.
"You two come here! Help me pick up the wood and put it in front of the window! ”
The two crew members hurried over and placed the wood in front of the window as the girl had instructed, but they did not know what she wanted to do, and even, a little confused.
"I see! You want to dry the wood with the sun's rays! A boatman shouted.
The girl waved her hand, indicating that it was not her intention.
I saw that she quickly picked up a kitchen knife and chopped it around the wood, and after a burst of knife light, the ground was already full of wood chips, and the few damp pieces of wood had also been refreshed and turned into dry wood.
Everyone was once again impressed by the girl's skills, this girl who had never seen her before was actually a peerless master.
And Yu Meng also understood the truth at this time, and said softly.
"This girl can actually use her knife skills to remove the wet surface of the wood, leaving only the dry parts inside, she is a master!"
When the girl had finished collecting the firewood, she threw them into the stove and put the iron pot on top of it, ready to start frying the shredded squid.
The fire was so strong that the oil in the pot was quickly boiling, and the various seasonings on the cutting board next to it were ready.
"Green onions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, pepper," the girl muttered to herself. What about salt? Don't you have salt here? ”
The girl raised her head sharply and asked the person next to her, and he was stunned for a moment.
The man was the only cook on the ship, and the only man Edward hadn't brought out of the manor.
But his level is also limited to ordinary cooking, which is why Chen Xiao and the others have eaten several meals of sashimi and boiled fish.
Now, a new chef has popped up, and it looks like he should be doing well.
"That's... I didn't have enough salt, and the shipwreck had washed away all that salt that was left..."
"Forget it..."
The girl hurried out of the kitchen, and did not forget to take a water scoop before leaving.
After a while she returned, and the ladle was filled with liquid.
The liquid has no color and looks like normal water, but you can faintly smell a hint of saltiness in the water.
"It's seawater! Is she going to make salt from seawater? The salt yield is too low! Xiaoying said softly.
"Not necessarily... Let's take a look..."
Yu Meng's impression of this girl is getting better and better, not only because she is mysterious, but also because of her resolute personality.
However, this seems to be the same as when she first got on the boat, for some reason.
As Yu Meng thought, the girl did not choose to use the traditional salt-making method to make salt, but directly used seawater to cook.
The girl uses her knife skills to make several cuts on the surface of the shredded squid and throws them directly into a basin filled with seawater.
In the other basin, the seasonings are mixed together and thrown together in a hot pan.
A pungent aroma came, which was much better than the original chef, and full of rich national flavors.
After all, Edward is a foreigner, and his chef can only do some simple cooking, and he doesn't know Chinese cuisine at all, so he will make sashimi and boiled fish every day, because it is more convenient.
After smelling the fragrance, everyone understood the strength of this girl, or how much better than the original cook.
After the pot was boiling, when the smoke cleared and the explosion gradually subsided, the girl took the shredded squid and put it into the pot.
As soon as the shredded squid was cooked, it instantly turned golden brown, and at the same time, the girl did not stop the knife in her hand.
She immediately opened the steamer next to her, poured the rest of the seawater into it, and at the same time, put the shredded squid fried until it was golden into the steamer and covered the pot.
The crowd didn't understand the reason for this, especially the former chef who had no place to hide.
"Do you want to fry it and steam it again? Don't think that I really can't cook, because I will lose the nutrition and taste of the ingredients! ”
"I didn't want to deal with you, but you're so annoying that it even affects my appetite," the girl whispered. The purpose of my steamer is not to steam shredded squid, but to boil some boiling water. ”
"Boil water? What do you want? ”
The girl shook her head as she picked out the fried shredded squid from the pan.
"These shredded squid, which have been soaked in seawater, are not salted and have a bitter and difficult to swallow taste, which I don't allow."
"And this boiling water can make the astringent taste in the shredded squid melt well, and it will not affect its deliciousness."
The girl turned on the steamer, and the water in it was already boiling.
Pick up a spoon and pour boiling water over the shredded squid.
Since the shredded squid has been fried hard, the boiling water will not wash away the flavor of the seasoning on it, even if it will wash away a little, it will not hurt.
What's more, the girl has already figured out the solution.
"There's some seasoning left, just right!"
The girl poured all the remaining seasonings in the basin on the shredded squid, poured a layer of hot oil, and suddenly the familiar fragrance broke into everyone's noses, making people linger.
"This smell is really drooling."
Not only is the taste surprising, but the appearance of the dishes is also very exquisite, hundreds of shredded squid are placed in a spiral shape on the plate, showing the meaning of rising step by step, and the most central coriander also makes the greasy and fishy smell of the shredded squid dispersed, which is extremely beautiful.
A good dish, looking at the color, flavor and flavor, and this is a dish that already accounts for two points, so that everyone wants to taste the first bite.
