Ivan has been thinking about a question, since Dong Xiaowan is smart and clever, and has lived in the land of fireworks for a long time, why was he finally deceived by a selfish impostor?

He's finally getting a little bit of it now.

Although Dong Xiaowan is smart and clever and has lived in the land of fireworks for a long time, she is not known for her scheming, but for her toughness and friendliness.

This can be reflected in her information.

Later, after she arrived at the Mao family, she was in harmony with the Mao family, and the Mao family basically no one gave her a bad review.

This shows that in this kind of quagmire, if she encounters the kind of bad guy who obviously has bad intentions towards her, then she may be able to escape with her own fierceness, but if she meets someone like Mao Xiang, who is talented and famous, and can coax women with clever words, it will be strange not to be coaxed.

This is actually quite normal.

She is not the only one who has been coaxed around, Chen Yuanyuan, Wang Jie, and Li Xiangzhen are all happy women who have been through trials and hardships for a long time and know countless people.

It can only be said that the prodigal method of taking the lead is too clever.

Alas, it can really be a sadness for a woman to meet a man who is good at rhetoric.

To be honest, Ivan was originally hesitant to beat the mandarin ducks.

He originally thought that Mao Xiang was a little more thoughtful, but he was also a talent, if Dong Xiaowan married him, as long as she didn't mind, it would be a good choice.

But now he doesn't think so.

Dong Xiaowan herself is also versatile, if she is guided a little, even if she doesn't take off Xiang, she lives a very wonderful life, and even wonderful, so why let her be planted in the hands of Mao Xiang, and finally end up with a grade of fragrant and jade?

He has done this beating of mandarin ducks!

Of course, for now, he still has to find a way to make up enough for the three hundred taels of silver to pay the rent.

Then let's crack the secret recipe of the squirrel fish first!

Ivan and Dong Xiaowan returned to Qinlou and joined Tie Niu and Xiaocui's steamed bun and shrimp dumpling making team.

After the preparation of the buns and shrimp dumplings was completed, Ivan and Tie Niu returned to the kitchen and began the night's fish-killing work.

As soon as he saw the Iron Cow Pickled Fish, Ivan was a little stupid, stupid, and moved, and he had the urge to identify it.

It's a pity that if you identify it now, you only get a pickling recipe, not a complete recipe for making squirrel fish.

There is a question that Ivan has always been curious about.

It stands to reason that the completion of a high-quality delicacy should be that each process is very particular and rigorous, otherwise it can only achieve ordinary deliciousness.

This is even more true for the production of fish.

When a fish dies or is killed, it will be cooked if it is not handled in time, and the flavor of the fish will deteriorate rapidly over time.

The reason why this is so is because animals and plants themselves carry a lot of enzymes and fungi.

These enzymes and fungi are symbiotic with carriers in the growth period of animals and plants and the natural preservation period, and the two are interdependent and indispensable.

However, once the animals and plants used as carriers die or mature (stop growing), these enzymes and fungi begin to enzymatize and engulf the carrier, causing the carrier to decay.

This decay phenomenon will cause the ingredients to deteriorate and lose their original freshness and aroma.

The reason why the flavor of fish deteriorates rapidly over time after slaughter is that the meat is not only extremely tender, but also famous for its freshness.

Therefore, for other meats, the growth and activity of enzymes and fungi can be inhibited by freezing, refrigeration, salting, etc., so as to maintain the freshness and flavor of the meat to a limited extent, but the effect of these methods on fish is greatly reduced.

Therefore, the best fish are generally freshly slaughtered and eaten.

Even if it is pickled, the pickling time is generally about half an hour, and no more than an hour at most.

The reason for this is that what I ask for is a fresh word.

But Chef Zheng subverted Ivan's perception in the practice of squirrel fish.

The first subversion is in the salting time of the fish.

Because of the large amount, Ivan and Iron Bull had to start killing the fish long in advance, and most of the fish took much longer than an hour.

It's really rare that fish that has been marinated for more than an hour can be made into a delicious taste.

The second subversion is in the cooking method.

According to the normal concept, the preparation of a good delicacy is rarely like a large pot dish, which is a large pot and then served out on separate plates.

But Chef Zheng is not like this in the production of squirrel fish.

When he cooks, he first deep-fried the fish, and then fried it into a large pot, at least a dozen of them, and then took them out of the pot, divided them into plates, and then poured the pre-boiled sauce.

In this way, it is not difficult for him to make three or four hundred in one night.

This is very impressive to Ivan.

The practice of cooking in a big pot can even make a high-quality deliciousness, and this person does have some skills in cooking.

This kind of ability has nothing to do with his character.

It's just that now he has to pay for his inferior character.

Ivan was ready to crack.

The clock was fast into the evening, and Chef Zheng appeared in the kitchen again.

As usual, he entered a small room of his own, ready to process the marinated fish again and prepare the sauce for topping.

Chef Zheng didn't show anyone this process, not even the iron bull who helped him kill fish and pickle fish.

Ivan is now curious, what exactly is Chef Zheng doing in the small room now?

As for the practice of squirrel fish, Ivan has actually done research.

However, the various methods of squirrel fish in later generations are different from Chef Zheng's current practices.

For example, the squirrel fish of later generations was not pickled, and after the fish was slaughtered, it was directly coated in corn flour and fried, and then poured sauce on the dish.

And the squirrel fish made by Chef Zheng not only adds the step of marinating, but the sauce used to pour the fish is also specially prepared by him in the small room, which seems to be a little special.

But it doesn't matter, when he makes the finished product, Ivan will be able to crack it in no time.

Ivan decided to do something.

Taking advantage of the gap between steaming steamed buns, he staggered to Chef Zheng's side.

"Chef Zheng, Miss Dong's crystal shrimp dumplings have also started to be launched tonight, are you envious?"

Chef Zheng immediately chuckled in his heart.

At noon, he did find Wu's mother again, wanting to find out Ivan's details, but Wu's mother just warned him not to offend Ivan, otherwise he would have no good fruit to eat.

This made him very worried.

Now, when he saw Ivan coming fearlessly, he felt a little timid in his heart.

"Congratulations. He replied with a blank face.

"Oh, by the way, tonight's Xiaowan buns and crystal buns will be increased, I suggest that you make less fish, so as not to waste it." ”

Chef Zheng chuckled in his heart again, and his face became ugly.

It was the last thing he wanted to hear.

However, this is someone that even Wu's mother doesn't want to mess with, what can he say?

He simply pretended to be stunned, stopped answering, and concentrated on frying his fish.

Ivan said again: "I'll give you one last chance, would you like to exchange your squirrel fish secret recipe for the method of making crystal dough?"

"Impossible!"

Chef Zheng finally replied.

"Oh well. ”

Ivan stopped talking and didn't leave, quietly waiting for Chef Zheng to take the fried fish out of the pot, put it on the plate, and pour the sauce.

The finished fish is freshly baked.

Identification!

Ivan did not hesitate.

Immediately afterward, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Chef Zheng, I seem to know how to make squirrel fish, goodbye. ”

Ivan turned and walked towards the steamer.

Chef Zheng was stunned for a moment.

How is this possible?
