Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 458 Little Lie! ! ! (seeking a monthly ticket)
Hearing that Master Sun had already said that, they naturally couldn't say anything more.

It's just that both of them were thinking in their hearts that the elder brother was already injured like this. These days, he only had to go to the ground with difficulty when going to the bathroom, and the rest of the time he was lying on the bed to recover from his injuries.

In this state of the elder brother, how can he eat so much roast duck?

They've already made up their minds, and they'll take the meal to the senior brother's room to eat at noon today!

The brothers in Jinwumen are all brothers and sisters, and it is incumbent for the brothers to help the brothers share the difficulties!

Then they left without making a sound, because it is obviously not appropriate to talk about this kind of thing everywhere.

Speaking of which, as the elders of Jinwumen, they also ate roast duck here before, and Master Sun also did it here before, and the oven in the yard was specially built by Shen San at that time.

It's just that with the increasing number of people in Jinwumen, Master Sun didn't do it anymore. After all, it's easy to cook roast duck for five or six people, but it's not so easy to cook roast duck for thirty or forty people.

Although it can be done if it is fooled, but Master Sun is not a person who is willing to fool things. He thinks that it is better not to do it than to do that. Anyway, this thing can be bought even if you go out to buy it.

Go to other people's stores and buy as many as you want.

Moreover, roast duck is also one of Master Sun's unique skills, and he doesn't want to ruin his own brand just because of a few tricks.

And this time is the same as the previous Jiuzhuan Dachang. On the one hand, it is because Chen Nian can do most of the hard work by his side. Another reason is that he plans to teach Chen Nian.

And the last reason is that Jinwu Sect has had some new disciples these years, and those disciples only know that Master Sun is very good at craftsmanship, and probably have heard of Master Sun's previous glory from some senior brothers, but in detail How brilliant it is, and to what extent, they still don't know anything.

So in layman's terms, Master Sun wants to pretend to be aggressive in front of these new disciples who have arrived in the past two or three years.

According to Master Sun's requirements, the ducks bought in the old age are live ducks, and they are carefully selected local ducks weighing more than five catties after being fattened for about 55-65 days.

Of course, although the requirement is to be more than five catties, it must not be too fat. In short, it must be well-proportioned, even if it is among ducks, it must be of outstanding appearance.

Just for this requirement, Chen Nian went around the vegetable market for a long time, looked at all the places that sell ducks, and finally picked out such a top quality duck.

On the way back, Chen Nian named the duck "Xiao Lie".

Because the duck's figure looks stronger, it is very eye-catching.

After returning, Chen Nian directly threw Xiaolie into the cage.

Now that Master Sun was going to deal with the duck, he asked Chen Nian to catch the duck first.

"Can you kill him?" Master Sun asked.

Although Chen Nian was a chef, Sun Fuquan had never seen Chen Nian kill chickens and ducks, at most he would kill a fish to deal with it, so he asked such a question.

After all, if you don’t have relevant experience, it’s better to leave it to a skilled person. Otherwise, don’t kill the duck, but let the duck get out in a daze, and spray blood while flying, making the yard full .

It looked like a murder scene.

"It can be killed, but I haven't killed it before, but I want to give it a try." Chen Nian nodded, and he didn't have much chance to make such an attempt on weekdays, so he was naturally reluctant to let it go now that he had the opportunity.

And Master Sun originally thought that if Chen Nian didn't know how to do it, he would come here himself, but since Chen Nian wanted to give it a try, let him try it.

Anyway, the old knife maker is there and has his own guidance, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

"Okay, then you can come, but before you kill the duck, you have to give it a glass of high-quality liquor, so that it will not be easy to flutter when it is drunk, and after the duck drinks the high-quality liquor, the blood in the duck's body will flow quickly , This is the same as human beings, people will sweat after drinking alcohol, you can see that the pores on the arms will open, and the same is true for ducks, the open pores make it easier to pluck hair.”

Master Sun was thinking while explaining, such an easy-to-understand and simple and direct explanation made Chen Nian no need to ask any questions after listening to it.

Everything is in these few sentences.

Chen Nian nodded, keeping these firmly in his heart, and then walked to the side duck cage to open the cage.

"Xiao Lie, come out, today is the day of your death limit, at noon you will be made into a roast duck for the senior brother to replenish his body, after you arrive in the kingdom of heaven, the senior brother will thank you very much!"

While grabbing Xiaolie's shoulders and neck, Chen Nian muttered.

Chen Nian had never killed poultry before, even when he was in Honghong Restaurant, at most he had killed fish.

The chickens, ducks and geese that I bought back in the past were all killed directly in the vegetable market or bought frozen directly.

But this time, I didn’t have any special feeling in my heart when I started aging. It probably took a long time to cook, and these poultry were just a plate of dishes in the eyes of Chen Nian.

After Chen Nian caught the duck, Master Sun went back to the kitchen and poured a glass of high-quality liquor.

And Chen Nian is to lift up the two wings of the duck with one hand, hold the root of the duck's wings with the thumb and index finger of the left hand, keep the duck's back close to the back of the hand, hook up the right leg of the duck with the little finger, and hold the duck's waist with the right hand at the same time. Open your mouth and bend your neck stem upward.

At this time, Master Sun made a lightning move, opened the duck's mouth and poured the glass of high-grade liquor into it steadily, leaving no last drop.

And the duck just drank the whole glass of liquor.

After drinking it, Chen Nian let go of his hands and let the other party move around, which is also conducive to the blood circulation in the duck's body.

After drinking a lot of wine, the duck's brain obviously began to become dull, and it walked crookedly when it got up, and its wings fluttered every now and then.

After stumbling on the ground for a while, Chen Nian easily grabbed him again.

He still grabbed the duck with the gesture just now, but after catching it, Chen Nian bent the duck's head upwards with his right hand and gave it to the thumb and index finger holding the base of the duck's wings.

Just pinch it between the duck's head and neck.

At this time, Master Sun had already brought the knife and plate and put them in front of Chen Nian, who sat on a small bench and put the duck's breast close to the iron basin.

Then use a knife to cut a small hole the size of a bean on the neck of the duck. Chen Nian can clearly feel that he has cut the duck's organs.

Immediately, blood flowed out, and Chen Nian pinched the duck's beak with his right hand again, straightened the duck's neck, and then dripped the blood into the basin at an angle.

"It's very pretty. If outsiders look at it, they will definitely say, this is definitely not the first time you have killed a duck."

Master Sun talked about that because Chen Nian didn't shake his hand during the process of killing ducks, he was extremely calm from beginning to end, and he cut the knife cleanly.

And after being taught by himself, the technique is also quite in place. These are some tricks he has figured out during his work. It belongs to experience. How to kill ducks the fastest?What is the fastest way to bleed?How can I make the duck suffer a little less when walking.

But now the old age is just one time and it is almost mastered.

"Master, I still feel that the technique is a little rusty, but despite my calm appearance just now, I was actually a little uncomfortable in my heart. After all, the duck was still alive and kicking just now." Chen Nian said while bleeding.

"It's okay, everyone has a first time, and it will be fine in the future. I have been in this business for a long time, let alone killing chickens and ducks. At that time, I may have to experience killing pigs, sheep and cattle. How much There is no harm in knowing something, as long as you can get over this hurdle in your heart." Master Sun said earnestly.

Because he has seen some chefs himself, who are actually quite talented, but once they come into contact with the slaughter of living things, their mood will change, and they may not be able to accept it.

As a result, when dealing with related ingredients, I always think of that scene at the beginning, and what's more, I even have nightmares all day long, and finally quit this business directly.

But it is clear that aging is not so fragile.

For old age, killing ducks, chickens, and geese like now, and even killing pigs, sheep, and cattle in the future, is actually like medical students doing experiments with mice and frogs in the laboratory.

Chen Nian even knows that there are still some monkeys used for experiments in the clinical laboratories of many pharmaceutical companies.

It's just that one is used to promote the progress of the medical industry, and the other is used to fill the stomach.

Everyone wants to eat meat, so someone needs to be a butcher.

As for being a chef, Chen Nian knew early on that he would inevitably be exposed to these things.

Although I was still a little apprehensive, I felt that it was nothing if I accepted it.

In this way, when the blood flow from the duck's neck stopped and the duck stopped shaking, Master Sun was already boiling water.

Looking at Master Sun's attitude, this time it seems that he wants to do auxiliary work for Chen Nian himself.

But Chen Nian did not pretend to be hypocritical and wasted time, but came to the pot with the duck.

"The water for plucking ducks should not be too hot, nor should it be completely boiled. After a while, the temperature will be about the same. If I say let it go, let it go." Master Sun reminded.

"Good master."

It is naturally slow to boil a large pot of water, and it is necessary to constantly pull the bellows to increase the firepower.

But after about three or four minutes like this, Master Sun said lightly: "Okay, let it go."

Hearing this, Chen Nian changed his posture, grabbed the duck's feet with one hand, dipped the duck's head into the pot first, shook it twice with his hand, and then put all the ducks in.

Now Xiao Lie was already lying in the pot to receive the baptism of the hot bath, while Chen Nian found a spatula and continuously poured water on the duck to make it permeate evenly.

This step is to prepare for the subsequent plucking. If the ironing is not uniform enough, some hairs are easy to pluck and some are not easy to pluck. This will cause the pores on the duck to be of different sizes and damage the overall aesthetics.

And if the duck skin is broken, it will be greatly reduced when roasting.

Because what the roast duck pays attention to is a transparent and rounded shape. If there is any air leakage, the first step of blowing air will fail, and the duck will not be able to swell up, so the whole body will be round and full.

So hot for about 3 minutes.

The water was still not fully boiled, so Master Sun asked Chen Nian to pull it with a shovel while trying to pluck the hair with his hands.

It takes about 3 minutes until the duck feathers can be pulled off easily.

"You can see that the feathers are pulled out at once. If the water is too cold, it's like bathing the duck. Then the hairs will definitely not be pulled out. But if it's too hot, the duck's skin will be cooked. You can pull it out. Mao directly tore off a piece of skin." Master Sun said while holding a duck feather in his hand.

At this time, Chen Nian also reached out to pull out a pinch, but found that it was indeed easier to pull out like this.

"Master, I thought I had to boil the water, but I didn't expect to be able to pull it out now." Chen Nian couldn't help saying.

Master Sun rubbed his hands while looking at the duck that was fished out of the pot by Chen Nian, and then went straight to grab the duck by the neck and lift it up to have a look.

"It's hot, anyway, you just remember that the water doesn't need to be boiled, and the hot time can't be too long."

"I remember Master." Chen Nian nodded.

Afterwards, Master Sun put the duck on the chopping board while it was hot, and began to shed its hair from the head. The technique was quick and clever. The place where the feathers were shed revealed the duck's original skin, and the color was slightly pink. Chen Nian knew that this was because there was no duck just now. The reason is that the duck skin is cooked, otherwise the color of the duck skin will not be like this after it is cooked.

From the duck's head to the duck's breast, Master Sun's movements are agile and gentle, not particularly violent, just like a skilled tailor.

After fading the front, Master Sun spread a large handful of duck feathers on the chopping board, turned the duck over and placed them on top of the duck feathers.

Gently press the back of the duck with the left hand, the skill is like muscle memory, and the hair on the back of the duck, the neck and the back of the duck head is taken off with the right hand.

This time, a duck that was originally wearing a thick sweater has become clean and naked at this moment, and under Master Sun's familiar movements, the skin of the duck is not damaged or damaged.

"Master, is there still a little hair here?" Chen Nian looked at it humbly from the side, and suddenly found that there seemed to be some relatively small hairs that hadn't been cleaned.

"Well, you can't pull it out with your hands. Go to the table over there and bring me the tweezers." Master Sun nodded, then pointed to the side.

But Chen Nian turned his head and saw that Master Sun had placed a pair of tweezers on the table over there at some point.

After Master Sun took the tweezers, he began to carefully clean up the remaining duck feathers.

"When cleaning these, you have to use this pointed end to pull it out, but don't pierce the duck's skin." Master Sun said again, "Also, you can't keep your hands on one place on the duck for a long time. Press it, otherwise the skin will collapse and the oil will leak. This kind of duck is already fat, and if the oil leaks, it will affect the quality. I couldn’t serve that kind of duck in the restaurant I was in before. Tables for guests to eat.

If someone presses out the duck fat while handling the duck, he has to buy the duck himself, and it doesn't matter whether he eats it or throws it away. "

Master Sun is now like a skillful daughter-in-law, and like Mr. Tony in the duck world.

Xiao Lie is now like a customer of Sun Tony, and the request of the service is to pluck out all the hair on his body.

And Master Sun lived up to his high expectations, his hands were fast and steady, and he plucked Xiaolie's last duck feathers cleanly.

At this point, a smooth and smooth duck body was exposed to Chen Nian.

This made Chen Nian, a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder, shout for cure.

It's just that for Xiaolie, it's not clear whether he will be cured or not.

"After picking the duck clean, the next step is to inflate it. You will blow it on the duck in a while. I'm afraid I won't be enough, but you are still young, so it should be fine."

Master Sun said while putting the duck in the water to wash.

"Good master, just tell me what to do in a while." Chen Nian also began to rub his hands together, eager to try.

But just after Master Sun washed the duck and put it on the chopping board, cut off the duck's paw under the calf joint, and cut open the esophagus and trachea of ​​the throat to pull the duck's tongue, Chen Nian suddenly thought of a problem!
Now the whole body of the duck is so clean, but there are only two places where it can go in, one is on the head and the other is the back.

The place where the head can go in is the trachea or esophagus. Those things are small and it is not easy to go in.

If that's the case, wouldn't there be only a place for me to blow for a while...

"Sigh, no matter what industry you do, you need to sacrifice yourself. I didn't expect that I would do such a thing one day." Chen Nian couldn't help sighing in his heart.

But at the same time, he was looking forward to it, because he had never done this kind of thing before, and there was some joy in his heart.

But as soon as such emotions appeared, Chen Nian immediately became vigilant: "No, why am I such a person? Why do I feel joy and look forward to this kind of thing?"

But even if such a voice sounded in his heart, Chen Nian continued to focus on a certain part of the duck's body due to the sense of immorality.

After Master Sun pulled out the duck tongue, he held the duck head in his left hand, and pulled out the esophagus precisely from the place where the incision was made on the neck with his right hand.

"Look at these first, and I'll show you when you don't know how to do it next time." Master Sun worried that he was doing too fast, and Chen Nian would not be able to keep up, so he specially reminded.

And Chen Nian is indeed a bit confused about Master Sun's movements, after all, he still can't tell the difference between the trachea and the esophagus.

But he doesn't feel that he doesn't see clearly what is important now. Anyway, as Master Sun said, this is just the first demonstration for himself, and he will be able to remember it after doing it himself.
