Chapter 26: Master Craftsman

Chen Fan turned a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions, and smiled at Accountant Liu, "This is not what I said, soft-shelled turtles are not only nutritious, but also have very high medicinal value.

It is recorded in the fifteenth volume of the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that the soft-shelled turtle mainly nourishes the middle and invigorates the qi, can also remove blood heat, replenish yin deficiency, and treat heat and rheumatoid arthritis. However, pregnant women can't eat this thing, especially in the first trimester, it's best not to touch it, because soft-shelled turtle can promote blood circulation and eliminate blood stasis, and there may be a risk of contractions if you eat it. ”

Hearing this, Captain Yang and the others suddenly became stunned.

They don't know how to know soft-shelled turtles or medicine, but they have heard the Compendium of Materia Medica, and since it is even recorded in medical books, it must not be fake.

When the people around heard this, they also talked about it.

"Huang Ying, aren't you pregnant, then you can't eat it."

The one named Huang Ying was also speechless, I thought I could feast on it, but I didn't expect it to be a picky dish?

After chatting for a while, Captain Yang pointed to a man in his forties who looked sturdy next to him, "This is the master craftsman in our team, and he is responsible for the red and white ceremonies of several nearby teams, and there are also people from other production teams who come to him to find him, surnamed Liu, you just call Master Liu." ”

The craftsman is the name given here to the chef who does the village banquet.

If anyone in the village does a red and white wedding, they need to find a craftsman to preside over the banquet, at this time the craftsman will discuss the dishes with the host's family, some people are richer, the master will arrange the banquet more sumptuously, and some people really can't take out much money, so they can only buy some meat foam and save a few eggs, and the master can also watch the dishes and do things, and organize a table of meat and vegetarian banquets.

Since all the things on the stove are handed over to the master craftsman to take care of, the master does not have to take care of anything, so it is also called a dragon.

Chen Fan looked at that Master Liu and quickly stretched out his hands, "Hello Master Liu." ”

But I was muttering in my heart, there is still a village banquet this year?

If you want to say that there were in the 50s and early 60s, he believed it, and later didn't he advocate thrift and thrift? The habit of killing and eating and drinking did not gradually recover until around 78, why did it start to exist now? Or has it always been, but no one has said anything?

Master Liu looked quite honest, and he was a little stunned by Chen Fan's handshake gift, and when he reacted, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold it, "Hello, hello." ”

Captain Yang and the others watched Chen Fan's style on the side, and couldn't help but glance at each other, and they could see the smile in each other's eyes.

If this hadn't come out of the cadre's family, they wouldn't have believed it.

Master Liu let go of his hand stiffly, and the attitude he was still holding just now had already been thrown out of the clouds, and then he looked at Chen Fan with a polite face, and coughed dryly, "Chen, Comrade Chen,......"

Chen Fan hurriedly smiled again, "Don't call me that, you can just call me Xiao Chen or Xiao Fan." ”

Master Liu smiled awkwardly and coughed again, "Then, let's call Xiao Chen." Xiao Chen, I haven't gotten this soft-shelled turtle yet, you said you want to tear the skin, how is this skin torn? ”

He had never heard of soft-shelled turtle before, so he was called over by Yang Ju this morning, and he was a little reluctant, especially if he didn't tear the two skins well, so he didn't believe their nonsense.

But just now I heard Chen Fan talk about it, and even the Compendium of Materia Medica was moved out, coupled with Chen Fan's style of shaking hands when he saw people, how could he still be a little contemptuous, just waiting for Chen Fan to teach him a hand.

If the soft-shelled turtle can really be eaten, then he will organize a village banquet in the future, and he will have a few more dishes to choose from.

Especially for people who can't afford to pay money, just go to the pond and take a turn, you can touch a few soft-shelled turtles, this soft-shelled turtle can top two chickens, and bring out both face and lining, the most important thing is to save money, which is equivalent to one more trump card!

Chen Fan smiled, "This is simple, you are a master, I will do it once, you only need to see it at a glance." ”

Master Liu nodded again and again, "This is good, this is good." ”

Immediately let go to the side, waiting for Chen Fan to play.

Chen Fan didn't procrastinate, walked to the cauldron and looked at it, "The temperature of this water is not enough, it should be about 80 degrees." ”

Master Liu's eyes lit up, "Can't you use boiling water?" ”

Chen Fan shook his head and said, "You can't use boiling water to soak it, it's easy to soak the outer membrane." ”

Master Liu slapped his face, "I just said, just now I used boiling water to blister, and I saw that the outer membrane was soft, and when I tore it by hand, it turned out to be rotten, and it was not clean, according to what you said, most of the fishy smell was on the outer membrane, and if the outer membrane was not torn clean, it must not be put into the pot." ”

He was already smiling from ear to ear at this time, just by virtue of this sentence, it was the true biography!

It's a pity that he said it in public, otherwise this ability would be more valuable if it was hidden.

Chen Fan nodded, "That's the truth." ”

One teaches and the other learns, and the others are watching with their eyes wide open.

"There is so much attention to killing a soft-shelled turtle, no wonder no one has found this thing edible before."

"So how did others find out? The captain also said that what kind of famous dish this is in the field, people will definitely kill and make it is a famous dish. ”

"Didn't you hear the captain say that it was in Yangzhou? As the old saying goes, in ancient times, the rich people in that place were piled up into mountains, and they had never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas? Isn't it because a chef is trying to make something strange to eat that he found out like this? ”

"Hey, who do you say this Chen Fan is? How did he know about this dish? ”

"Who knows, it's weird, I don't remember where I came from, but I remember to cook, I'm afraid that someone in his house is not a chef."

"Remember being a chef when you cook? A chef as white as he is? In my opinion, most of the time he used to eat this kind of dish, and over time, he will make it. ”

"It's the same as a good doctor after a long illness, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

In the middle of the crowd, Chen Fan saw that the water couldn't be turned on for a while, so he beckoned Master Liu to deal with the soft-shelled turtle, and then looked at Jiang Lili, "Little Jiang, help me make a basin of water." ”

Yang Ju was about to go as soon as he heard this, but was stopped by Captain Yang with his eyes, and Keeper Huang also glanced at Chen Fan meaningfully, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Chen Fan asked Jiang Lili to fetch water, but he didn't want to be lazy, nor did he deliberately embarrass her, but gave her a chance to perform.

According to her, in addition to the normal work and the collective activities of the team, she was not invited to work in any family in the team.

It's just that Captain Yang invited him today, and he still killed the turtle.

This soft-shelled turtle has to be cooked, and when it is cooked, it has to eat meat, Captain Yang asked her to come along, and naturally let her eat it together. Originally, it was nothing, but with her background, if she didn't do anything, she would sit down and eat with chopsticks, and the ghost knew if anyone would gossip.

Now that Chen Fan asked her to help, it can be regarded as participating, and she can still leave a good impression, and then she will have dinner with everyone, and there will definitely be no gossip.
