Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 145

The [lion head] in the bowl was half eaten, and the second dish came up.

After all, it is a cheap restaurant, and it is impossible to accommodate the dining speed of the guests.

The one who served the dishes was the smiling aunt
"Hi everyone, [Mandarin Fish with Pine Nuts], it's very hot inside, don't bite it down!"

???

Li Xiao
He secretly wondered if he had guessed wrong just now.

What Auntie wants to remind herself is not that the gravy in [Lion Head] is too hot?
The reminder after the food was served, maybe it was just a passing sentence from her? ? ?
The mandarin fish with pine nuts is not big, after all, it is just a mandarin fish weighing a little more than a catty.

After removing the guts, it's only smaller.

In fact, in many cases, it is not that the store is cutting corners, and there is indeed a big gap between the live food and the prepared dishes.

Whether it's size or weight.

A 2-jin fish, after killing, only about 1.4 to 1.5 catties will be left, that is, a catty of fish will lose 0.25 to 0.3 catties after killing.

After all, it is necessary to remove the scales, cut off some useless fish bones, and the most important thing is to remove the internal organs of the fish. This is the biggest difference between a live fish and a killed fish.

Of course, in addition to this reason, there is another reason.

The merchants really cut corners and changed the concept secretly.

Propaganda says
[Buy three catties of crayfish and get three catties free]

After the customer arrived, he found that it was only 4 catties.

According to the explanation given by the merchant, 6 catties are live crayfish, and 4 catties after killing them.

This belongs to false propaganda and secretly changed the concept. Although the live crayfish of 6 catties, after killing and removing the head, it is really only 4 catties.

However, it is immoral for merchants to deliberately not explain when advertising.

Even if your cooked crayfish, including soup and juice, weighs six catties, if you think about it, few people will complain.

Closer to home, although this [pine nut and mandarin fish] is not big in size, in Li Xiao's opinion, it must be worthy.

After all, Li Xiao may have [Ability: Proficient in Seafood Selection].

Although there is no way to turn the naked eye into an electronic scale, it is still clear about the approximate size of a live fish that weighs less than two catties after being cooked.

【Mandarin fish with pine nuts】

Every place has a different name, but the approach is almost the same.

Select fish with more meat and less spines for meat extraction.

Generally speaking, mandarin fish [guì] is used in most places, which is the so-called sweet-scented osmanthus fish.

Actually mandarin fish and sweet-scented osmanthus fish are the same thing.

However, because Mandarin [guì] is relatively rare, many people only know how to read it, but not how to write it.

Therefore, it is replaced by the word osmanthus. Over time, mandarin fish is called mandarin fish and osmanthus fish in many places. The difference between mandarin fish and mandarin fish is only in name.

The mandarin fish used to make 【pine nut mandarin fish】can't be too big or too small.

The mandarin fish is too big and the meat is too thick. After being coated with flour, the meat inside will be fried easily.

The mandarin fish should not be too small. If it is small, the bones will be heavy and the meat will be small. After frying, the fish meat will shrink very thin, and you can only eat the flour but not the fish meat.

Therefore, it is best to choose mandarin fish of the level of one and a half to two catties for making [pine nut mandarin fish], which is neither too big nor too small.

The size of the fish in front of him is just right. It seems that the manager is not someone who chooses fish randomly in order to sell an extra catty or two regardless of reality.

Of course, it may also be because when purchasing, the store deliberately selected mandarin fish with a size of 1.5 catties to 2 catties to make the product better.

[Smandarin Fish with Pine Nuts] is much more difficult than [Braised Lion Head].

Of course, it doesn’t mean that [Smandarin Fish with Pine Nuts] is really difficult. The main reason is that [Smandarin Fish with Pine Nuts] has certain requirements for knife skills, and many people have no way to achieve it.

Buy a live mandarin fish and hit the seven inches of the fish with a wooden stick.

Don't you know where the seven inches of mandarin fish are?

Then knock casually, knock casually slowly is a joke.

If you don't knock seven inches, try to knock on the head as much as possible, and don't let him go too painfully.

Of course, it was also to make him die more thoroughly. After all, mandarin fish's bones are very long and sharp.

It's not very comfortable to let it pierce back before it dies.

After letting the mandarin fish die in bliss, find a sharp enough knife and carefully hang off his scales.

After all, death is already dead, and if life does not bring what death does not take, come naked, come naked
Sorry, forgot he has no clothes.

In short, after hanging the fish scales and feeling it, it will be ripped open.

Of course, the above work can be completely handed over to the aunt or uncle who sells fish in the market.

Of course, the prerequisite for making the above request is that the market you are in is a southern market.

After many times, repeatedly, after buying at a certain stall, you have formed a certain tacit understanding with the boss.

You can even unlock some new moves, no, some new requirements.

You can make further demands on the boss, such as getting on base, no, I'm not that kind of person, what I want to say is, get on the base, that's right.

Let the boss get started and complete the subsequent steps of killing fish. ,
After all, a bloodthirsty fishmonger's knife skills are bound to be much better than ordinary people, and there is no such thing as innate talent.

Without him, only familiar with Seoul.

After removing the guts, wash the mandarin fish.

From the mandarin fish's gill cover, cut off his dog's head, not the fish's head.

Don't throw it away to feed the cat, because it is still useful. A mandarin fish with pine nuts without a fish head is somewhat lacking in charm, like "I want to sleep with you" and "I wake up and want to see you", two sentences There is a difference of one word, and the artistic conception and charm are all different.

Cut the fish head in half from the fish mouth, wash and set aside.

On the incision of the fish body, find the position of the fish spine, and cut the fish meat and fish spine with a knife, but do not cut off the fish completely, and the blade stays in front of the fish tail.

The fish meat on both sides is mirrored, and then the fish spine is cut off in front of the fish tail.

You have obtained a connected fish. Of course, you still need to remove the bone in his abdomen to complete the work of taking the meat.

When you get here, even though you have done many transactions with you, the boss of Nanfangyu, who seems to have nothing to say, has temporarily dropped his favorability towards you to neutral.

As long as your next sentence of dialogue is wrong, your relationship with the fish boss may enter a temporary hostility.

you're going to say it right now

"Boss, let me pay a few more yuan, and you can help me cut the fish into pieces!"

When you say this sentence, your situation will change immediately.

The offensive and defensive situation reversed in an instant, and the person who now needs to consider the friendship between the two will become the fish boss.

The fish boss has only two choices
A. "Okay, you can pay an extra 5 yuan, and I will help you out."

The friendliness of the other party is minus ten, and your customers will no longer patronize you.

B. "Hey, I'm so familiar, how much do you charge? You want to make mandarin fish with pine nuts, right? I'll help you make a flower knife. My knife skills are well-known in the whole market."

The friendliness of the other party will increase by ten, your reputation will increase by ten, and customers will favor your fish stall even more.

C. You pretend not to hear and stuff the fish into the bag.

Opponent's friendliness drops randomly.

Obviously, as a fish boss who wants to operate for a long time, he will probably still choose B.

After all, with a few dollars on one side and a long-term customer on the other, there is almost no difficulty in making a choice. As long as you are not confused, you have to choose B if you bite your teeth.
