Soak the soft-shelled turtle in cold water, brush it with straw, put it in a wooden basin, and then take a dirty one from the basket to wash.

I don't know if they went to dig the pond early in the morning, and there were dozens of large soft-shelled turtles piled up in the basket, and even small soft-shelled turtles the size of palms.

Chen Fan held up the little soft-shelled turtle and turned his head to look at Captain Yang, "Why did you catch such a small one?" ”

Captain Yang tilted his head and grinned, "It's not hunting and fishing, but also catching big and letting go of the small, this thing eats fish fry, it is a harmful spirit, of course you have to catch it all." ”

Chen Fan squeezed his face and stared at the little turtle, "But this thing has no meat." ”

Accountant Liu smoked a self-rolled cigarette, "If there is no meat, the soup will be stewed." ”

The corners of Chen Fan's eyes twitched slightly, it was really amazing.

But he didn't dare to say more, Captain Yang said that this was "harmful to people".

The soft-shelled turtle eats the fry, and if he dares to say that he has released the little soft-shelled turtle, everyone will be designated to smack him in the face.

Throw the small one back into the basket, replace it with a large one, and continue to teach one-on-one with Liu Jiaojiang, "Before slaughtering, it must be washed, and it is not delicious if it is not cleaned." ”

Liu Weijiang smiled and nodded, "You know, no matter what you kill, you have to wash the mud off before you can start." ”

At this time, the water was almost boiling, and Chen Fan began to slaughter.

Chop the head, cut the shell, soak, tear the skin, remove the fat and internal organs, and then wash with warm water.

killed several in a row, except for the first one Chen Fan, the second one was done by Liu Jiaojiang, he was more and more skilled in killing, and soon piled up a large pot.

There are nearly 300 people from more than 40 households in the village, and at least half of them came, one by one, craned their necks and looked around.

"Wow, that's a big pot of meat."

"I've never seen so much meat at a banquet."

"I have received a few big bowls of blood, and I can make a lot of blood tofu."

"More than ten years ago, I didn't eat so much in a big canteen."

"Such a big pot, let alone five or six chickens, add some potatoes and radish, and can hold more than a dozen bowls, which one is so rich."

In these years, the rural banquet is still a bit particular, whether it is red or white, except for the family, it is the kind of brother, you can go to the whole family, and the rest of the family is only one person. There are so many households in the village, and five or six tables are up to the sky, so it is enough to prepare two or three chickens for the big dish and a few fish.

Although the soft-shelled turtle that has not yet been processed has a little fishy smell, it still makes many people swallow.

Captain Yang was also very excited when he looked at such a large pot of meat, turned his head to look at it, and said loudly, "I went out to dig soft-shelled turtles just now, one person brought a bowl over, wait for the dishes to be ready, and one person brought a bowl back." ”

As soon as these words came out, a small half of the people immediately ran out quickly, basically all of them were men, some of them went to get bowls, and some ran to dig ponds to see if they could turn out a few large turtles.

What about women?

are waiting to see Chen Fan do the cooking, and then steal the teacher.

Even if it is not as delicious as Chen Fan's cooking, as long as it is not as fishy as before and can be eaten, you can catch soft-shelled turtles and make them at home in the future, which can not be delayed.

After boiling a pot of water again, Chen Fan was about to do it, at this time, Liu Weijiang took the initiative to pick up the big wooden basin first, "Master Chen, it's blanching now, right?" ”

Chen Fan threw a few large pieces of ginger and green onion knots prepared by Jiang Lili into it, nodded and said, "Blanching is also particular, one is to add ginger and green onion knots, this is to remove the fishy smell, if there is a condition, it is best to add some cooking wine, without cooking wine, white wine or rice wine is fine, the effect is better." ”

Captain Yang immediately pointed to his eldest daughter, "Xiaoju, come out with a bowl of wine." ”

Chen Fan was about to shout that it didn't take so much, but when he saw this cauldron, he immediately closed his mouth and kept silent, I'm afraid he really wants a bowl of wine.

Liu Weijiang secretly took Chen Fan's words to heart, and at the same time poured all the soft-shelled turtle meat into the cauldron, and then asked, "One is to remove the fish, and what else?" ”

Chen Fan also does not hide his selfishness, he should teach everything, "The second is that the water temperature should not be too high, it is best to control it at 80 degrees, and at the same time, it is necessary to constantly stir to force out the blood in the meat, so that the processed meat will not have a fishy smell, and the meat will not be too old, and it will be softer and glutinous after stewing." ”

Accountant Liu stood behind Captain Yang, and muttered to Keeper Huang, who was standing side by side, "It's so particular about eating meat, guess what his origin is?" ”

Huang custodian said without looking back, "Don't guess, I guessed for a day yesterday and couldn't guess a famous hall, anyway, it's not small, you see that Liu Jiaojiang has been engaged in a dragon for more than 20 years, just a meat blanch, I can't wait to take notes, but this Chen Fan is fine skin and tender meat, at first glance, he is not a person who does kitchen work, anyway, I can't guess the calendar." ”

Captain Yang glanced back at them and whispered, "Guess it, no matter what his origins are, an old turtle cooking, it's worth saving him as a person, and if there is more in the future, it will be more profitable, no loss or loss." ”

The two nodded in unison, "It's still the captain who is insightful." ”

After blanching after a while, all the soft-shelled turtle meat was put into a wooden basin, and at this time, a gust of wind blew, and the smell of meat wafted across half of the village, and the villagers' eyes lit up one by one.

"Ouch, it really doesn't smell fishy at all."

"It's so fragrant meat, if this is made into a dish, it will definitely be bad."

"In the early years, how many soft-shelled turtles were chopped and fed to pigs, how much was wasted."

Chen Fan sniffed the smell of soft-shelled turtle meat and sniffled, this smell of meat is not small, they can't smell it?

At this time, Chen Fan also retreated, and said to Craftsman Liu, "Master Liu, these are just a few steps to remove the fish, anyway, it's pretty much the same, the rest is to cook, you are the master, I won't be ugly." ”

"Don't, don't."

Liu Jiaojiang rubbed his hands and smiled, "Good things are done in the end, I really haven't done this soft-shelled turtle before, please ask Master Xiao Chen to make one or two dishes, let me also learn and learn." ”

Chen Fan seemed a little embarrassed, "Master Liu, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that I can only cook small pot dishes, so much soft-shelled turtle meat, I can't master the heat." ”

These soft-shelled turtles have six or seven times more meat than yesterday's, and with the current 5 points of strength, where can he stir it up?!

Liu Jiaojiang thought for a while, "In this way, you make a small pot of dishes, and I will learn and sell them next to me, and make a big pot of dishes." ”

Chen Fan looked at Captain Yang.

Captain Yang didn't think about it, and waved his big hand, "My kitchen is a double stove, and you can get it here." ”

Seeing that the captain said so, Chen Fan no longer shirked, "Okay." ”

Then the two of them shifted their positions and moved into the kitchen next to them, and the other villagers wanted to squeeze in to watch, but let Captain Yang bang it, so they could only stand guard not far from the door, and they had to make way for a passage.

The stove here is a double stove, that is, there are two stoves, naturally there are two cauldrons, and there is an urn jar in the middle of the two stoves, which can be heated from both sides at the same time.

In addition to this, there is a charcoal stove in the corner of the kitchen. This kind of small stove made of clay is only about 30 centimeters high, the upper half is a fire pit, the lower half is a support, like a three-legged tripod, and the fire pond can burn both charcoal and firewood.

Chen Fan asked Yang Ju to take out the stove and make a casserole of soft-shelled turtle stew. Then I made a small pot of braised soft-shelled turtle on a large stove.

For this dish, Captain Yang invested a lot of money and made a full two taels of soybean oil, which is worth half a month's ration for an adult in the city.

It's just that Chen Fan looked at that little oil star and was a little worried, with such a little oil, can this soft-shelled turtle meat be delicious?

Then I heard a "ding" sound in my head.

"Initial knowledge transfer, teaching experience +20, current teaching skills LV2 (20/50); Made two copies of soft-shelled turtle, cooking experience +10, current cooking skill LV4 (20/200)"

Chen Fan is a little confused, the teaching level is actually 2? When have I ever been a teacher?
