Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 883 This relationship is worth managing
The first dish was pan-fried crab.

Cut the big crab into small pieces, coat them with flour and fry them in a pan until crispy.

He Juanjuan helped bring back spices from the province that were not available in the county.

Make some combinations and create a delicious barbecue seasoning.

Put the fried crabs and barbecue ingredients into a small pot and shake the pot repeatedly.

When the crab meat is evenly coated with the seasoning, sprinkle with a handful of celery stalks and toss.

The special aroma and vegetable properties of celery eliminate the greasiness of fried crabs.

Both the taste and the texture are very balanced.

The second dish is chopped pepper fish head.

Lin Jiao made her own chopped pepper sauce.

The best raw materials are used.

You can use it when it is almost done, without having to worry about storage time.

Chen Hui specifically requested a reduced-salt version.

It tastes spicy from the chopped pepper, and the aftertaste is still sweet from the fish itself.

The third is a bountiful harvest in the fish valley.

As soon as Yuan Chuanfang announced the name of the dish, the county magistrate said, "Good! That's a great name."

As he said this, he picked up a piece of popcorn and ate it.

I just ate something fragrant, spicy and salty, and suddenly this taste was sweet.

This makes the sweet popcorn, which is already very special for this era, even more attractive.

"This is delicious! It's sweet, you can try it." said the county magistrate.

Several people followed suit and tasted it.

"So adding some sugar to popcorn makes it so delicious?"

"Comrade Chen Hui, how do you cook this? Just pour the corn in and sprinkle a handful of sugar?"

"My child loves sweets. Please teach me. Don't be secretive."

The comrade from the forestry station asked with interest while holding a piece of popcorn.

“This is very simple!”

"Put oil in the pot first, and when the oil melts, add four or five spoons of sugar."

"When boiling sugar, never stir it with a spatula. If you stir the sugar to the side of the pot, it will stick to the wall and turn into sand."

Chen Hui was about to continue.

The comrade at the forestry station motioned him to stop and asked in confusion, "What do wall hanging and sand reversal mean?"

"Hanging on the wall means the sugar is hanging on the edge of the pot."

"Anti-sand means the sugar becomes like sticky sand."

"In both cases, it's possible that the food won't melt in the first half, and burn once it melts in the second half."

Chen Hui explained patiently.

Colleagues at the forestry station nodded, not quite understanding what was said.

He said to the caller, "Just don't move. I'll remember that. Then what?"

"Then just wait patiently until the sugar dissolves and big bubbles appear."

"The big bubbles will turn into dense small bubbles. It's better not to move and continue to wait."

"When the color of the sugar changes from white to slightly earthy yellow, the caramel is ready!"

"At this time, pour in the dry corn kernels and mix them thoroughly with the cooked caramel."

The other side raised his hand again.

"I'm sorry, Comrade Chen Hui, I have to interrupt you again."

"What is caramel? Can burnt sugar still be used?"

The forestry station asked again.

He knew that this was not very polite, but if he didn't ask, he would forget the words.

"No, even though it's called caramel, it's not burnt yet."

"Sugar in this state is still sweet and has a special aroma."

"The sugar and oil are both very hot, and the corn kernels will pop very quickly after they are put into the pot."

After listening to Chen Hui’s explanation.

Several people took a piece of popcorn and put it in their mouths.

"I was wondering why this is much more fragrant than frying it directly in the pan. Is it the caramel flavor?" asked the county magistrate.

"Yes, it tastes like caramel."

"The timing of boiling sugar is critical. If you boil it too long, it will taste bitter. If you boil it too short, it will not only taste bad but also become hard when it dries up."

Chen Hui smiled after he finished speaking. He didn't expect that no one would pay attention to the fish he caught in the sea.

They were so interested in the popcorn I brought on a plate.

"You call this 'very simple'?" The people from the Forestry Bureau were all confused.

"Director Lin, it's not that I don't believe in your ability!"

"That's it. Are you sure you can do it after listening to it?"

The middle-aged man sitting opposite him asked with a smile.

"I feel like I understand every word Comrade Chen Hui said."

"But I have no idea how to put it together."

"I'll go back and tell my wife about it and see if she can learn it."

Director Lin of the Forestry Station waved his hand.

Then he asked, "Comrade Chen Hui, could you please write down what you just said for me? If we try a few more times, maybe we can get it right."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

A few people started joking, and Chen Hui also listened.

It turns out that this director had a son in his old age.

He was almost forty years old when this child was born.

The child is now five or six years old.

If he wants something, he will try his best to get it.

"Director Lin, please tell her this when you get back."

"If your lover doesn't understand, you can ask her to come to me."

“For people who have been in the kitchen for many years, even if they don’t understand what they hear, they will definitely understand it after watching it once,” said Chen Hui.

"Really? Then I won't be polite, I will really come when the time comes!"

Director Lin smiled in surprise.

"Of course, bring some hawthorn apples and I'll teach her how to make candied haws."

"The underlying logic is the same. It's more reassuring when you make it yourself," said Chen Hui with a smile.

It is still necessary to establish a good relationship with the forestry station.

Like bounty hunting.

In order to prevent villagers from asking for money rather than their lives, it is normally not made public, but the captain of the hunting team is contacted directly.

Animal protection is also done every year.

Like the South China tiger.

There is still a bounty for hunting it now, but in a few years it will be impossible to catch it.

Chen Hui couldn't remember when these animals were included in the list.

Now that the relationship is well managed, it will be convenient to get in touch with others in the future.

"That's great! I'll definitely tell her."

"Comrade Chen Hui, how come you are so amazing?"

“He can go to the sea and hunt, and he can cook better than a professional chef.”

"Anyone who becomes your wife is truly blessed."

Director Lin was very happy and kept praising Chen Hui as he looked at him.

"Don't just chat, try this fish."

"I just ate a piece. It was fried very nicely and had no bones at all."

The county magistrate picked up a piece of fried mackerel and ate it, holding the big bone in the middle and reminded him.

"County Magistrate, it's not that I don't believe you, but how can a normal fish be boneless?"

"You must be lucky. The chopstick you used just happened to have no thorns."

Director Lin laughed and took a piece as well.

He took a big bite and chewed it carefully in his mouth for a while.

Then he said in surprise: "There are really no thorns!"

"Is this true?! There are fish without bones!?"

"How could what the county magistrate said be false? It must be true."

"It's really not thorny. I just ate a piece of it steamed."

Everyone at the table started talking.

Director Lin finished eating all the fish in his hand, looked at Chen Hui and asked:

"Comrade Chen Hui, you said you usually go to the sea to catch fish and sell them?"

"What kind of fish is this today? Did you catch it in the sea as well?"
