In the kitchen, Cai Mi moved a small bench and sat down with his legs curled up. In front of him was a small soup stove with a ceramic soup pot on it, and only a small amount of water was added to it.
At this point, the water is boiling.
The tumbling bubbles made Wenrou see more clearly inside the ceramic pot. There is really nothing but clear water!
Gentle squatted in front of Cai Mi with a puzzled expression.
"Master, this is the fish dish you are going to cook tonight? Isn't this a pot of clear water? Where is the fish?" Wenrou was puzzled.
"Ask again! What's the rush? Look up!" Cai Mi had no expression on his face, and just lazily pointed his finger at it.
He raised his head gently.
I saw that on the beam of the kitchen, I don’t know how Cai Mi did it. He even used a thin fishing line to hang a snapper about one catty.
If it wasn't for a small silver hook tied to the end of the fishing line, hooking the snapper's mouth, Rourou would have thought that the fish was hanging in mid-air by itself!
"Master, what is this for?" Gentle and curious.
"Ask again!" Cai Mi glared at Wen Rou, then got up immediately, and pulled the fishing line tied to the back of the cabinet at the other end.
The sea bream that was still hanging in mid-air just now slowly descended from the air.
Although Cai Mi played very slowly, the line in his hand was very smooth. About two fingers away from the ceramic pot, Cai Mi stopped and tightly tied the fishing line at the other end.
The sea bream hung steadily above the pot.
When you get close, gentleness can be seen clearly.
Immediately, the mouth and eyes opened wide.
This is actually a live snapper!
The bright red gills of the fish open and close; because the fish's mouth is hung by the hook, it takes more effort to bite the mouth; from time to time, the fish's tail swings from side to side, indicating that it is still a fresh fish!
At this time, the snapper is placed on top of the ceramic pot, and the fish tail hangs in the center of the pot.
"Master, are you going to use the temperature of hot water to cook the fish?" Wen Rou didn't understand. Seeing this posture, recalling Cai Mi's weird cooking techniques, he couldn't help making a bold guess.
"Look at you girl, you have such a gentle name. Why is this idea so cruel! I cook the fish without killing the scales, breaking the intestines, or deep-frying the fish. I just borrow this live fish Use it for a while, and when it's done, the fish will still be alive and put it back into the water!" Cai Mi said with a proud smile.
"Master, are you kidding? Don't you just eat the fish after cooking? Can the fish still live? Is it alive in the stomach?" Wen Wen became more and more confused the more she listened.
"Look carefully!" This time, Cai Mi didn't let Wen Rou shut up.
I saw Cai Mi take out a thin hemp thread from his waist to fit the sole of the shoe.
"Hey, master, it turns out that you are not only good at stealing ingredients. You don't even let the thread on the sole of your shoe go!" Wen Rou joked.
Cai Mi ignored the tenderness, still fiddling with the twine in her hand carefully.
The twine was looped around the fish. Immediately, Cai Mi grabbed one end of the twine with both hands, and then went from top to bottom. Scrape down from the fish body again and again.
After a while, I saw a transparent and crystal-clear gelatinous fish tail falling into the boiling water in the pot below.
Accompanied by the movements of Cai Mi's hands, fish balls fell into the boiling water one after another, and instantly turned into milky white solid fish balls like vermicelli.
Looking gentle and dumbfounded.
"It's almost time to release the fish." Cai Mi muttered. While deftly untiing the sea bream hanging in the air, he threw it into the basin.
The sea bream was already a little wilted by the hot air just now, and now it is back in the cold and clear water, shaking its head and tail happily, what does it mean to be like a fish in water. Gentleness is really seen now.
"Hehe, did you look carefully?" Before Rou Rou could react, Cai Mi had already handed over the twine in her hand.
"Master, do you want me to try too?" Rourou suddenly came back to his senses.
Although it's been a while since I got along with Cai Mi, this is the first time. Cai Mi took the initiative to demonstrate, and asked Rou Rou to try it in person.
Following Cai Mi's example, Yuxuan took six snappers in a moment of gentleness.
When they were put back into the water basin again, all the snappers were swimming happily, as if nothing happened just now.
Seeing that Cai Mi nodded again and again, "You girl, you really are a good material for learning how to cook!"
At this moment, the night is dark, there is no disturbance from others, no worry of being discovered, only the deep snoring of Wen's family, and the tacit cooperation between Cai Mi and Rou Wen.
The clear water in the pot turned into a milky white soup at some point, and some vermicelli-like things could be seen faintly. There was a layer of film floating on the surface of the soup, and there was no heat at all.
At first glance, it looks like a pot of tasteless and colorless shark fin.
"Come on, try it!" Seeing that the fish in the pot was ready, Cai Mi stirred it lightly with a spoon, and a strange fragrance burst out immediately, irritating the gentle nostrils. Wenrou couldn't bear it anymore, holding two blue and white porcelain bowls, waiting aside excitedly.
Cai Mi filled a bowl and handed it over, and said with a smile: "This Yuxuan fin soup is a side dish that I have been studying for a long time, so that eating fish will not hurt the fish. You have a try, I have demonstrated the technique, did you learn it well? See you tomorrow."
Ruan Rou didn't care about listening to Cai Mi's nagging, and couldn't wait to try it with a small spoon.
"Ah!" I have never eaten such a delicious taste, so fresh that I almost bit my tongue.
Gentlely smacked his lips, just felt the taste, then scooped up another spoonful, put it in his mouth and slowly sipped it, and waited until the bowl of Yuxuan's fin soup was finished, then wiped his mouth full of enthusiasm, and praised : "Master, this sea bream is a high-quality fish, and the meat is even more delicious. My father always cooks it from meat. I never imagined that you can make such a fairy-like taste in your hands. Master, you are really good!" A chef!"
"What a mess! I told you, I'm not a cook! I used to be a farmer, but now I'm just a handyman!" Although Cai Mi gave a gentle look, her expression was still full of enjoyment and intoxication, and she wiped Mouth, it seems that the bowl of Yuxuan fin soup just now tastes really good,
"Hey, good good! I won't talk nonsense! Master is the best! Then tomorrow I will use this fish dish to challenge that Duan Qi!" The gentle eyes were full of firmness.
The lights in the kitchen gradually went out, and the two black figures simply cleaned up and then dispersed and disappeared.
Only the charcoal fire in the small furnace was still slightly burning, and the ceramic soup pot was placed firmly on it.
On the second day, it was dawn.
"Alas!" Wen Shouzheng woke up early in the morning, sighing and listless.
"His father. But you're still worrying about Duan Qi? But you figured out a way to deal with it?" Zhou got up and followed out of the yard.
"Oh!" Wen Shouzheng sighed again.
"Mother, look at Dad like that, you must not have figured it out! Dad, you have to hurry up this morning!" Wen Ting rubbed his sleepy eyes and threw out such a sentence.
Wen Ting's words made Wen Shouzheng angry, and he was full of grievances, so Wen Ting's words didn't matter, and all his brains rushed towards Wen Ting.
"Stinky boy! You are a dog who can't spit out ivory! Get out of the house and read a book! If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb!" Wen Shouzheng roared.
"Father, it's early in the morning, and I haven't eaten yet! How can I read when I'm hungry?" Wen Ting felt a little wronged.
"Eat, eat, eat! Don't let me see you today!" Wen Shouzheng was really annoyed.
"Oh, then. Then I'll go to Mr.'s!" Wen Ting muttered and slid out against the wall, behind him Wen Shouzheng almost picked up a broom to chase him away!
"Father." Hearing the noise, Ruan also came out yawning.
"Hush." Zhou hurriedly gestured to shut up, fearing that Wen Shouzheng would add fuel to the fire if Wen Rou said anything else.
"Father, don't worry about it, I've already done it. Just take it with you at lunch time." Rourou yawned again.
"What? Have you done everything?" Wen Shouzheng turned around and looked at Wen Rou in surprise.
But Wen Wen has two big dark circles under her eyes, it looks like she didn't sleep all night last night!
"It's fish!" Rourou is a little sober now.
"Where is it? Take me there quickly! What have you done?" Wen Shouzheng regained his energy immediately, and pushed Rourou to the kitchen.
"Father, you are too impatient, you have eaten breakfast anyway..." Wen Rou's words were not finished yet. Those who couldn't control their footsteps came to the kitchen under Wen Shouzheng's urging.
"It's not too late to eat after watching it. If it's not good, there's still time for improvement." Wen Shouzheng said eagerly.
"Here." Wen Rou raised her finger.
A small stove on the ground, a clean white ceramic pot.
Gentle handed over a blue and white porcelain bowl. And a spoon.
Judging from Wen Shouzheng's face, it is probably in this order.
Disdain, doubt, surprise, enjoyment. Silence, approval, excitement.
"Rou'er, what, what is this? It's so delicious!" Wen Shouzheng couldn't help himself.
"Father, this is Yuxuan's fin soup. It looks like colorless and tasteless shark's fin, but it's actually extremely delicious. It's made this way..." Immediately afterwards, Wen Shouzheng whispered how to cook it word by word. , told Wen Shouzheng carefully.
Hearing Wen Shou's face showing shock, he sighed endlessly.
"This...how did you think of it, girl?" Wen Shouzheng asked in surprise.
"Chef Gao's ancient score!" Rourou once again attributed all the reasons to Chef Gao's ancient score without thinking.
Anyway, using the ancient notation as a shield is not just once or twice, it's okay to do it one more time!
"Hahaha! Well, well, just use it at noon today! It also shocked Duan Qi!" On Wen Shouzheng's face, the long-lost smile appeared again.
"Gulu." At this moment, there was a long and dull sound from the gentle stomach.
Gentle rubbed it gently, and looked at Wen Shouzheng with some resentment.
"Hahaha, dad will take you out for breakfast today! Let's try the breakfast in the provincial capital too! Go and get Cai Mi, let's go together!" Wen Shouzheng seemed in a good mood.
"Father, that brother..." The gentle eyes looked out of the door worriedly.
At this time, Wen Ting was scolded away, and it had been some time.
"That brat, don't worry about him!" Wen Shouzheng laughed.
