Chapter 174: Ancient Fish Chest
Ye Qing cut the fish head and bones and put them into another plate.
Then she pressed her left index finger on the tail of the fish, and with a twist of the knife, she cut the whole piece of fish into slices of transparent skin.
Wu Bin was a little stunned when he watched it from the side, and the little cousin's knife work suddenly reminded him of the description in the poem, "If the Luan knife flies, it should fall into the blade, and it will be bright." Luck elbow wind to see the slash, with the knife snow falling frightened wisps! ”
It's so powerful, when the blade falls, the fish fillet floats out like a butterfly, it's so beautiful, how long does it take me to learn this knife work?
The fish fillet is as loose as a snowflake, so light that it can flutter in the wind, which is really "the cutting of the cicada's wings, and the analysis of the finesse." Tired like stacks, separated like scattered snow, flying lightly with the wind, the blade does not turn and cut. ”
He went to find a pair of bamboo chopsticks, picked up a piece with his slightly trembling right hand, held it high, and looked at it again and again in the light of the fire in the kitchen.
The fillet is really thinly sliced, like silk, and it is full of fire.
Suddenly, a plate of fish fillets was placed on a large plate with crushed ice one by one by Ye Qing in order.
Then she thought for a moment, and went outside to find some half-opened hibiscus flowers and leaves.
I also peeled a long thin slice of cucumber, rolled it with flexible fingers, took a toothpick on the table and inserted it, and a cucumber flower was ready.
Carefully placed on the chilled sashimi, the dish suddenly becomes fresh and refined.
"It's so beautiful, I didn't expect my little cousin's hands to be so skillful, and her mind is also skillful, this raw fish is so good." Wu Bin praised.
Ye Ying asked, "Qingqing, you put this ice in the jar, and it didn't turn into water when you brought it back?" ”
"Well, I bought the ice before I got out of the city gate. If you use a double-layer container to hold ice cubes, and wrap it outside with cotton clothing, the ice will not melt for half a day. ”
Wu Bin nodded, "Well, I see that the owner of the shaved ice stall in the town uses straw and cotton to wrap it in a bronze container with ice cubes, and I don't know why, isn't it warmer to wrap up, and the ice is easier to melt?" ”
Ye Qing smiled, this physics knowledge was too troublesome to explain to the ancients.
She simply casually explained something about the meaning: "This is actually similar to the truth that the well water is cool in summer, but I can't figure out the specifics, anyway, we can use the method that the predecessors came up with." ”
After Ye Qing finished speaking, he took two small plates and prepared to make seasonings.
In fact, to make sashimi, in this day and age with sea bass is the best.
However, Jianzhou does not produce sea bass, so Ye Qing chose a small grass carp with no fine bones.
Of course, some people respect sea bass, if you can't eat sea bass, there is a kind of dried sea bass in ancient China.
After soaking in clean water, wrap it in a cloth and drain the water, and loosely serve it on a plate, resembling fresh sea bass in both appearance and taste.
It's just that Ye Qing hasn't seen it either, and he won't buy it if he sees it.
Dried fish fillets are always inferior to fresh ones.
If you mix the cut fragrant flowers and leaves in the sashimi and decorate them with fragrant flower spikes, it is known as the "southeast flavor".
It's just that there are no fragrant flowers here, this plant commonly known as honey balm, fresh plants have a strong aromatic smell, and they have been eaten as vegetables for a long time in ancient times.
The fragrant flowers used in the golden jade can only be used in this case with purple flowers Haizhou incense or purple flowers.
Haizhou is 600 miles away, and it is difficult to get this flower now.
The name of Jin Yan Yuguan first appeared in the book "Qi Min Yaoshu".
In the section "Eight Harmony Teeth", the practice of Jin Yan is described in detail.
Seven ingredients are shared: garlic, ginger salt, white plum, orange peel, cooked chestnut meat and japonica rice. Mash the white plum and the other six ingredients into minced pieces, and mix them into a paste with good vinegar.
Of course, these Ye Qing were not well prepared, and they did not plan to use them.
She only plans to make three simple seasoning dishes, a dish of sesame oil with soy sauce; a dish of shredded vinegar and ginger; A dish of yellow horseradish sauce.
The fruiting period of this horseradish is June, and Ye Qing did not see wasabi for sale in the spice shop, but found that there was horseradish for sale in the market.
Green wasabi is made from the roots and stems of wasabi.
There is also a kind of mustard powder, mustard powder, which is a spicy seasoning made by grinding the ripe seeds of mustard greens.
These actually taste similar, spicy and spicy, but they are the best condiment for eating sashimi.
