Chapter 404: Jade Shattering Three
The two of them arrived home and Rainbow Dash was already preparing the knife fish meat.
"I'm back!"
As soon as they entered the house and put away their umbrellas, Luo Zhiqing smelled the rich aroma of chicken soup.
"Eh? Aren't we having fish today? Why are you cooking chicken soup?"
Yun Bao knew that Luo Zhiqing might ask this question: "Hey, Boss Yi asked me to do this. The knife fish meat is almost done. Now it's Boss Yi's turn to show off his skills."
"Wow!" Luo Zhiqing was full of anticipation.
"Hehe, it's a pity that the fish meat has been systematically decomposed and is no longer intact. But if it were intact, we can't cook it in this pot, hahaha."
Knife fish is the first of the three delicacies of the Yangtze River. In the past, there was a very simple and unpretentious way to cook knife fish rice in the Yangtze River basin.
Later, with the development of culinary arts, the knife fish rice evolved into a more expensive and complicated method - the three eliminations of jade.
In fact, few people would try this. Shu Lingyi had only seen a food blogger make it, and later tasted it once from Ms. Shu Ying.
The main reason is that fresh knife fish is too expensive.
What’s more, the only ones generally available for purchase are those from farms, which are slightly different from truly wild ones.
But for knife fish, fishing is not a good thing.
So she only ate it once, and it was really delicious. Now that she had real wild greenback knife fish, she was even happier!
"I asked Rainbow Dash to cut the fish into rectangular strips so I can see..."
Shu Lingyi went over and looked at the knife fish that Yun Bao had prepared. They were all rectangular strips that were slightly longer than a palm and only as wide as three fingers put together.
"The master system has already taken out the core bones, but there are still a lot of fish bones in the fish meat, and they are very thin and long and not easy to pick out."
Yunbao picked up a piece of knife fish and talked to Shu Lingyi.
Shu Lingyi also picked up one and studied it. Luo Zhiqing didn't understand but couldn't help but watch out of curiosity.
After Shu Ling read through it, he came to only one conclusion: "Maybe because it mutated into a monster, the knife fish has more fish bones in its body."
"And look at the surface of the fish meat. The scales of the knife fish on our Blue Star are very special. They will dissolve into oil under high temperatures. So the disappearance of the scales in the Jade Shattering Three Eliminations is one of them."
"But this time, we have clearly collected a batch of knife fish scales in our trophies. Each scale is really beautiful. From a distance, they look like white jade, and up close, they have a silvery luster."
However, the fish scales now belonged to Luo Zhiqing, and Shu Lingyi was more looking forward to the armor made from the knife fish scales.
Not to say it’s more practical, but at least it looks better!
Shu Lingyi was not very demanding about this. She was in a good mood and continued in a relaxed tone, "But there is actually a layer of small thin scales on the fish meat."
Yunbao nodded. When Shu Lingyi brought it back, she asked if the scales should be removed. However, Shu Lingyi was a little shocked and said, "Why are there still scales? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
After getting Yunbao's approval, Shu Lingyi told her not to remove the scales and wait for her to come back before making a decision.
Yunbao of course did as he was told. Shu Lingyi now confirmed that the knife fish had some characteristics of a monster after the mutation, but it also retained the characteristics of the Blue Planet.
"So the fish scales should melt in the high temperature. As for the fish bones, I guess the fish flesh will fall off in the high temperature."
These two points are the description of the Jade Shattering Three Eliminations method on Blue Star.
"Oh! Then when do we start?" Yunbao didn't quite understand.
"It's almost done, let's get started." Shu Ling rolled up his sleeves. Yun Bao agreed and then carried the big pot to wash the rice.
Shu Ling put in the ham that he had opened from the wooden box, cut it into cubes, and simply stir-fried it with chopped Chinese cabbage.
Next, mix it with the washed rice and set it aside, then pour in the chicken broth as water and start cooking the rice.
Seeing that the chicken broth in the pot was much taller than the rice grains, Shu Lingyi fell into a brief silence.
"I forgot one thing... You can't put the fish meat directly into the rice, otherwise it won't just break into pieces, it will melt."
In the Jade Sui San Xiao, you need to use something to remove the internal organs of the knife fish and then fix it to the pot lid.
In this way, after the fish bones are fixed, the tender fish meat will fall off automatically after being exposed to high temperature.
The key point is that the knife fish meat must be fresh and tender enough. The knife fish meat that has been frozen on the blue planet cannot achieve this.
[After being frozen for too long, the meat and bones seem to be completely glued together. Only the fresh and tender ones don’t like to stick to the bones. ]
