Qin Dong's face was not good, and he was surprised and excited in his heart.

He thought that the chef had called to complain about his soft-shelled turtle.

Surprisingly, the kitchen god wanted to buy soft-shelled turtle.

All kinds of questions filled Qin Dong's mind, he had a lot of questions to ask, and the most concerned was the taste of soft-shelled turtles.

He can't be calm, and this state is not suitable for driving and making phone calls. So he decided to go into the rest stop, calm down first, and then make a call.

When he arrived at the rest station, Qin Dong washed his face with cold water and checked the call records. That phone call wasn't a figment of his imagination, it was real.

He dialed back to the kitchen god, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." You said you wanted to buy soft-shelled turtles?"

Lu Zhan was sitting in the kitchen of the outer courtyard, still reminiscing about the deliciousness of soft-shelled turtle soup.

"yes, I'd like to buy five, no, ten. ”

Qin Dong's face turned pale, "Mr. Lu, the soft-shelled turtle meat is very bitter." ”

Lu Zhan laughed, "Soft-shelled turtle meat is indeed very bitter, but as long as you master the trick, you can successfully remove the bitter taste." ”

"Really?"

Qin Dong was simply a surprise.

Unexpectedly, the kitchen god actually found a way to remove the bitter taste of soft-shelled turtle. It is worthy of the god of cooking.

"Mr. Lu, can you tell me how to get rid of the bitterness of soft-shelled turtles?"

Lu Zhan laughed, "Actually, the solution is very simple, but everyone didn't expect it." ”

"You say, you say, I listen. No, no, Mr. Lu, don't say it yet. You want ten soft-shelled turtles, and I will personally send them to you tomorrow. This time, I'll give you a 50% discount. It's just that I have a reluctant request, can you drink a bowl of soft-shelled turtle soup you boiled?"

This request was really unexpected.

Lu Zhan agreed very simply, "Okay, you come over early tomorrow, I'll boil a pot of soft-shelled turtle soup, you can taste it." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, thank you so much. ”

Qin Dong was about to cry and hung up the phone in a hurry.

This time he was saved, and his soft-shelled turtle was finally able to be sold.

The next day, before dawn, Qin Dong set off with eleven soft-shelled turtles. The reason why he brought an extra one was because he wanted to drink a bowl of soft-shelled turtle soup cooked by Lu Zhan in person. This is his request, and he can't let the other party contribute and pay for it.

He walked early, and when he arrived at Yuquan Villa, it was not yet noon.

The gourd baby was worried about last night's soft-shelled turtle soup and delicious soft-shelled turtle meat, and when she heard the movement, she didn't need to be greeted by Lu Zhan, and took the initiative to open the door.

"Mr. Lu, I've arrived. ”

"Boss Qin is here, please come in. ”

Eleven soft-shelled turtles, all in the pond.

Lu Zhan said: "Boss Qin, there is one more soft-shelled turtle. ”

"This is just a gift from me, and I will trouble Mr. Lu to make a pot of soft-shelled turtle soup later. ”

Lu Zhan laughed, "Boss Qin doesn't need to be so polite, if you want to know how to get rid of the bitterness of soft-shelled turtle meat, I can tell you directly." ”

Qin Dong was embarrassed, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, I can't ask for your recipe for nothing."

I'll tell you the truth, I've had a hard time lately. I am a well-known soft-shelled turtle farmer in our local area, and I have also made some money over the years by breeding soft-shelled turtles.

Later, all my soft-shelled turtles became mutated soft-shelled turtles, which is a good thing. However, the meat of the mutated soft-shelled turtle is bitter, and many people have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea and food poisoning after eating.

As soon as this matter spread, all my soft-shelled turtles were unsalable. My family has a large number of soft-shelled turtles, so many soft-shelled turtles, just what they eat every day is a big expense. During these days, my hair turned gray with sorrow. ”

Lu Zhan looked at the top of Qin Dong's head, and sure enough, there were a lot of white hairs.

He asked Boss Qin, "You can't ask for my prescription for nothing?"

Qin Dong nodded again and again, "I came here today just to discuss with Mr. Lu whether your recipe can be sold to me." ”

Lu Zhan laughed, "You don't have to buy it. I need soft-shelled turtles for a long time, just give me a discount every time. ”

"That's not enough! That little discount, where is it worth the value of the top. ”

Lu Zhan said: "A mere cooking recipe is not worth much. Otherwise, if you give me a discount for three years, 80% off each time, it will also cost a lot of money. ”

"Where is three years enough, ten years, it's decided. ”

"Ten years is too long, and you're going to lose a lot of money. ”

"Compared to the help you have given me, ten years is nothing. Without your recipe, I would have gone bankrupt this year. ”

"Oh well. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. Qin Dong looked satisfied.

Lu Zhan said: "I should thank you." ”

He picked out a soft-shelled turtle, picked up the knife in his hand, and began to clean up.

Marinate in salt for 15 minutes, then put it in a pot, add licorice, tea leaves, and start to boil the soup.

"Is that all?" Qin Dong asked nervously beside him.

Lu Zhan nodded, "Salt, licorice, and tea work together to effectively remove the bitterness in the soft-shelled turtle meat." ”

Next, he used the remaining soft-shelled turtle meat to stew it.

Qin Dong watched from the side, and even held a small notebook and recorded each step, very seriously.

Lu Zhan chatted with him, "You can't buy your soft-shelled turtle, didn't the local special investigation bureau come forward?"

"The Special Investigation Bureau is in charge of cultivation, no matter how much it is sold, it is useless for them to come forward. Whoever made my soft-shelled turtle boil it has a bitter taste. ”

When Qin Dong mentioned this, his face was depressed.

Lu Zhan asked curiously, "Is the water quality over there very good?"

"Yes, the environment over there has always been very well preserved, and there are many lakes around it, and the water is clear. At present, tourism development is underway, and it is estimated that it will be opened by the end of the year. If Mr. Lu is free in the future, you are welcome to come and play with us. ”

Lu Zhan nodded, "If you have the chance, you must go." However, now everyone says that the wild is not safe, and you are still engaged in tourism development over there?"

"Our side is a grain-producing area, and the government will definitely protect it. ”

Lu Zhan nodded and understood.

The two chatted, Qin Dong and Lu Zhan shared the secret of breeding soft-shelled turtles, and Lu Zhan taught the cooking experience.

The two big men nested in the kitchen, quite harmonious.

A pot of soft-shelled turtle soup is boiled.

Qin Dong was curious: "So fast?"

Lu Zhan said: "The heat is different. I'll give you a bowl of soup to taste. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. ”

"Don't be so polite. ”

A bowl of soup was placed on the table, and Qin Dong looked cautious, nervous and apprehensive.

What if the bowl of soup is still bitter?

Lu Zhan smiled: "Drink, there is a surprise." ”

Qin Dong nodded, buried his head and tried to take a sip.

Hey!

It's really not bitter, it's not bitter at all.

Qin Dong was extremely pleasantly surprised, and he was afraid that the bite just now was not intuitive enough and did not taste it.

So he picked up the soup bowl, took one bite after another, and soon he drank all the soup.

Lu Zhan asked, "How is it?

Qin Dong wiped the corners of his mouth, very satisfied, excited, very excited, "There is no bitter taste, there is no bitter taste at all." Mr. Lu, you are so amazing that you would even think of using licorice and tea to remove bitterness. ”

Lu Zhan said: "It's not easy to find the right way. The two soft-shelled turtles you sent yesterday were all wasted. ”

Qin Dong laughed, "It's already amazing." Two soft-shelled turtles can find cooking tricks, and Mr. Lu is worthy of being a chef. ”

Lu Zhan was not modest at all, "In terms of cooking skills, I am indeed more talented than others." ”
