Chapter 27 First Teaching
Soak the turtles in cold water, wash them with straw, put the washed ones in a wooden basin, and then take the dirty ones from the basket and wash them.

I don’t know if they went to dig ponds early in the morning. There were dozens of large turtles piled in the baskets, and there were even small turtles as big as a palm.

Chen Fan held up the small turtle and turned to look at Captain Yang, "Why did you catch such a small turtle?"

Captain Yang tilted his head and said with a grin, "It's not like hunting or fishing. We catch the big ones and release the small ones. This thing eats fish fry and is a pest. Of course, we have to catch them all."

Chen Fan frowned and stared at the small turtle, "But this thing doesn't have any meat."

Accountant Liu smoked a roll-your-own cigarette, "If there's no meat, make soup."

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

But he didn't dare to say more. Captain Yang already said that this was a "harmful spirit".

Turtles eat fry. If he dares to say that he let the baby turtles go, everyone will spit in his face.

He threw the small one back into the basket, replaced it with a larger one, and continued to teach one-on-one with Liu Jianjiang, "Be sure to wash it before slaughtering. If you don't wash it, it won't taste good."

Liu Jujiang smiled and nodded, "You know, no matter what you kill, you have to wash away the mud before you start."

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

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

He killed several of them in a row, except for Chen Fan who did the first one, and Liu Jiejiang who did the rest. He became more and more proficient at killing them, and soon he had a big pile of them.

There are nearly 40 people from more than [-] households in the village. At least half of them are here. They are all gathered around, stretching their necks and looking around.

"Oh, what a big bowl of meat."

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

"I have collected several large bowls of blood, and I can make a lot of blood tofu."

"More than ten years ago, dining in a large dining hall was not so rich."

"Such a big pot can hold at least five or six chickens. With some potatoes and radishes, it can hold more than a dozen pots. Who is so rich?"

These days, eating in rural areas is a bit more particular. No matter whether it is a wedding or a banquet, the whole family can go, except for the family members, who are brothers. For other families, only one person from the family goes.There are only so many households in the village, and five or six tables can fill the ceiling, so two or three chickens and a few fish are more than enough for the main dish. It is indeed rare to see such a large pot of meat, and some people have never even seen it.

Although the unprocessed turtle has a bit of fishy smell, it still makes many people salivate.

Captain Yang was very excited when he saw such a big pot of meat. He turned around and said loudly, "Those who went to work just now to dig up turtles will each bring a bowl. When the food is ready, each person will bring a bowl back."

As soon as these words came out, less than half of the people, mostly men, ran out quickly. Some of them went to get bowls, while others ran to dig ponds to see if they could dig out a few big turtles.

What about women?
They were all waiting to see Chen Fan cooking and stealing from his master.

Even if it doesn't taste as good as Chen Fan's, as long as it doesn't smell as fishy as before and is edible, you can catch soft-shell turtles and cook them at home in the future. There's no need to delay.

After boiling a pot of water again, Chen Fan was about to start. At this time, Liu Jianjiang took the initiative to pick up the big wooden basin and said, "Master Chen, it's time to blanch the water now, right?"

Chen Fan threw in the large pieces of ginger and green onion knots prepared by Jiang Lili, and nodded and said, "There are also things to pay attention to when blanching. First, you need to add ginger and green onion knots. This is to remove the fishy smell. It is best if you can. Add some cooking wine, white wine or rice wine will work if you don’t have cooking wine, the effect will be better.”

Captain Yang immediately pointed at his eldest daughter and said, "Xiao Ju, get a bowl of wine."

Chen Fan was just about to shout that he didn't need that much, but when he saw the big pot, he immediately shut his mouth and kept silent. He might really want a bowl of wine.Liu Jianjiang secretly kept Chen Fan's words in mind, and at the same time poured all the turtle meat into the big pot, and then asked, "One is to remove the fishy smell, and what else?"

Chen Fan didn't hide his secrets, and taught everyone who should be taught, "Second, the water temperature should not be too high. It is best to control it at 80 degrees. At the same time, it must be stirred continuously to force out the blood and water in the meat. The meat treated in this way is both There will be no fishy smell, and the meat will not be too old, and it will become softer and more glutinous after being stewed.”

Accountant Liu stood behind Captain Yang and whispered to Custodian Huang, who was standing side by side, "You have to pay so much attention to eating meat. Guess where he comes from?"

Custodian Huang said without looking back, "Don't guess. I guessed all day yesterday and couldn't guess anything. Anyway, the background is not small. You see, Liu Jianjiang has been running a business for more than [-] years. He can just blanch meat." I can’t wait to get my notes, but this Chen Fan has a delicate skin and tender flesh, so he doesn’t look like he’s working in the kitchen, and I can’t guess the history anyway.”

Captain Yang looked back at them and whispered, "Guess, no matter what his origins are, an old turtle cooking is worth saving him. If he gets more in the future, he will make more money, and if he doesn't, he will make more money." Not a loss."

The two of them nodded in unison, "The captain is more knowledgeable."

After a while, after blanching, all the turtle meat was put into wooden basins. At this time, a gust of wind blew by, and the aroma of the meat filled half of the village. The villagers' eyes lit up.

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

"The meat is so fragrant. If this is made into a dish, it will definitely be good."

"In the early years, many turtles were chopped up and fed to pigs. How much wasted."

Chen Fan sniffed as he smelled the smell of turtle meat. The smell of the meat was quite strong. They couldn't even smell it?
At this time, Chen Fan had retired and said to Liu Jianjiang, "Master Liu, these are just a few steps to remove the fishy smell from the soft-shelled turtle. Anyway, the rest is cooking. You are a master chef. I I won’t show my embarrassment anymore.”

"Don't don't."

Liu Jianjiang rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "A good thing will come to an end. I have never made this soft-shelled turtle before. Could you please Master Chen to make one or two so that I can learn from it?"

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

There are six or seven times more turtle meat than yesterday. With only 5 points of strength now, how can he stir-fry it? !
Liu Jianjiang thought for a while, "In this way, you make small pot dishes, and I will learn and sell them right next to you, and make a big pot of dishes."

Chen Fan looked at Captain Yang.

Captain Yang waved his hand without thinking, "My kitchen has two stoves, so you guys can do it here."

Seeing that the captain had said so, Chen Fan no longer refused, "Okay."

Then the two of them moved their positions and moved into the kitchen next to them. Other villagers wanted to squeeze in to take a look, but Captain Yang was so stunned that they could only watch helplessly not far from the door and had to make way for a passage.

The stove here is a double stove, which means there are two stoves, and naturally there are two large pots. There is an urn in the middle of the two stoves, which can receive heat from both sides at the same time.

In addition, there is a charcoal stove in the corner of the kitchen.This small stove made of clay is only about thirty centimeters high. The upper half is a fire pit and the lower half is a support, like a tripod. The fire pit can burn both charcoal and firewood.

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

For this dish, Captain Yang spent a lot of money and bought two taels of soybean oil, which was enough for an adult in the city for half a month.

It's just that Chen Fan looked a little worried when he looked at the oil star. With such a little oil, would the turtle meat be delicious?

Then I heard a "ding" in my head.

Chen Fan was a little confused. The teaching level was actually 2?When did I become a teacher?
