When he returned, the knife was unsheathed. He held the knife horizontally, holding the hilt in one hand and the spine in the other.

"Is there any alcohol or something?" Next to the chicken, he asked, "It's best to sacrifice before you go under the knife." ”

Next to him, Lu Huaiyang was already ready. opened a bottle of Fenjiu to be drunk for a while, drenched the blade of the knife with cold light, and asked Wen Yuan to wash his hands with wine by the way.

"Good!" He shouted, the tip of his knife pointing upwards. According to the knife method, the two ends of the handle of the long knife are grasped separately with both hands -

"Wait." Wen Yuan suddenly reacted, "This elephant bird? How to cut? Is it the same as cutting chicken? ”

"Ahh Zhu Xianene also remembered. He walked up to Wen Yuan's side and observed it from his point of view, "Although I've eaten it for so many years, I really don't know what difference it makes when I cut it. But it seems to be different. After all, elephant birds are not chickens, and their muscles must go in a different direction than chickens. For example, elephant birds have very thick leg bones, I think they are."

Zhu Xianene gestured to the chicken leg like a leg: "Probably cut from this, and then 'don't', I remember it used to be like this." And then this and this, and so ”

“.” Wen Yuan was stunned, "I'm sorry. This. Completely incomprehensible. ”

"Hey, what should I do." Zhu Xianene looked at the chicken. He really wants the young man to show his face, and now he will change people.

He looked at Wen Yuan and thought to himself: If he changes, will it hurt him a little.

But it doesn't matter if he cuts the chicken in a mess and cuts it badly. If the family heirloom knife is broken, it will be a big trouble. It's not a joke, because elephant birds have hard bones.

"Is there a manual?" Wen Yuan asked, "I can cut it if I have a manual." It's okay to cut it by analogy. ”

"How can a bird have a manual."

"Huh?" Shang Luo stood up at the back: "The manual, right?" Is the skeleton of a bird in line? ”

"Okay!" Wen Yuan is still holding a knife. Shang Luo's words made him find a savior, "Will you be able to see the picture right away?" This chicken can't wait long. ”

"Simple, you wait, I'll search the Internet. Ah, it's this. ”

He stepped out of the way of the camera and got out of the way where it didn't block the projected light:

"Wait, I'll connect this device and project this! Cast out. ”

A picture of the skeleton of an elephant bird appears on the wall where the song was just played. The projection was the size of the entire wall, and every bone was still clear.

"Ahh Thanks a lot! Thank you so much! This little TV is so easy to use! ”

While checking the "manual", Wen Yuan gestured with a knife.

He went around to the tail of the chicken and first cut the butt of the chicken, which was the size of a whole roast duck.

"The chicken butt is fed to the dogs first. And then here! "According to the bone diagram, he went around to the front again, cut from the chicken breast, and cut a triprong, and then cut all the way to the flank—

As soon as everything arrived, it was as if something had been "stretched" had spread out, and a bunch of diced meat and vegetables such as scallops and ham, mushrooms, and other diced meat and vegetables mixed with sesame oil and soy sauce were scattered in the chicken belly, all mixed with the stuffing of barley rice and glutinous rice.

"There's still stuffing here?"

"That's right~" Zhu Xianene explained, "When I ate roast chicken last year, it shrank a lot when it was cooked. Moreover, the bones of the elephant bird take up a lot of weight. There are many people who haven't had enough to eat last year. So this year I made some changes – I added Suzhou Babao duck stuffing to it. In this way, you can still eat sticky rice after eating the meat. ”

"Shengming is nothing but Your Majesty." Everyone shouted in unison. It was the first time everyone had called his trumpet when they came through the door. The people of the old Zhu family are still quite good at eating meat dishes, after all, they can't eat a few vegetable leaves all year round.

After a while, Shang Luo got the first batch of plates, which Wen Yuan cut for him. Half of the plate is rice, and two pieces of meat are on the side. One piece is a chicken leg and one is a neck.

Chicken thighs, neck. It sounded like a normal part, but the drumstick was bigger than his face, and every fiber was neat and clear. As for the "chicken neck", the cross-cut part rests in his bowl, and you can see a circle of tight, Q-elastic meat around the neck - it doesn't look like a neck, but like eating a dragon's tail.

"Well, haven't you eaten it?" Zhu Xianene also brought a plate, and there were two chicken necks in it. Both pieces are as thick as forearms, and they do look like they are eating dragon tails.

"I really haven't eaten this before." Shang Luo replied, "On our side, the elephant bird has long been extinct, and the imperial court can often eat such treasures here?" ”

"Not really. Our family's recipes don't like to add those strange mountain and sea delicacies, that is, we love to eat pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks and geese. But when there is a tribute, it is eaten and eaten. I also like to eat this elephant bird, because the meat is fresher and more tender than animal meat, probably because of the finer fiber. Even if it grows to nearly a metric ton, the meat is still delicate and has no fishy smell. ”

“.” Shang Luo took a bite - yes, this is the texture of beef, and the fiber is finer than beef.

"It's more like venison, to be exact." Zhu Xianene replied, "But you haven't eaten much venison recently, and most of you haven't eaten much, so it's not a good analogy - do you want to eat something else?" Ah, I know you're too embarrassed to mention it, so I'll mention it. Do you want to eat a dodo? ”

"Do you have dodos, too????"

"It's much more convenient to eat a dodo than to eat it, and it's also popular to eat dodo eggs. It's not easy to eat live beads from dodo eggs. Do you eat or not? ”

Shang Luo shook his head violently.

"Tsk, Jinling food. Do you want to try the ordinary dodo? ”

"Uh-huh, this one will do." Shang Luo nodded, "I really haven't eaten it, I want to taste these are all extinct in our place." If you want to eat it, you can't eat it anyway. ”

"If you really like it, there are the moa that the Maori pay tribute to. It's a lot smaller than this Madagascar elephant, but it's really delicious. If it weren't for the fact that the portion wasn't enough for so many of us, I'd let the national surname Gong Moa make this meal. Let me tell you, there are many differences between moa meat and elephant meat. You take another bite of elephant bird meat and feel it - this delicate fiber is delicious, isn't it? ”

"Uh-huh." Shang Luo's mouth was full of meat and rice, so he had to mmmmmmmmmm

"But the meat of the moa is different - the meat of the moa is as fat as the duck's meat, and it has a thick fat, especially the breast. The fat and meat are evenly distributed like brisket. It's just a boil. The dragon meat in the sky is nothing more than that. Although you can't eat it in your house, we don't have so many evil barbarians here, and these delicious things have not been cleaned by them. We protect one when we find one, keep it and eat it slowly, you can eat more. ”
