Chapter 141 Several Ways of River Mussels

"Your one is also pink, so pretty!!!"

Xiao Zhou exclaimed happily.

I didn't expect that I was just helping to deal with it, and there was such an unexpected joy.

Four pearls may not be considered very valuable.

But this surprise made her very happy.

Qin Ming generously gave her his pink pearl as well.

Xiao Zhou also knew that this man didn't seem to be interested in pearls, so he accepted them without being too hypocritical.

Girls love a little bit of bling.

She plans to use these few pearls to make decorations.

So many mussels have been processed by them.

It didn't take long to calculate it, it was more than half an hour.

After all, there are so many mussels, and opening their shells is not that simple.

After dealing with it for a long time, Xiao Zhou felt back pain and his hands were very tired.

In the big washbasin next to it, there is already a pile of mussel meat, which looks like a hill.

In the other basin, there is disposed waste, which is not needed.

For example, there are a lot of dirty things in the intestines, gills, etc. of river mussels. At first glance, the black dirty things make people feel very sick.

"What are we going to do now???"

The mussels were ready, but looking at the piles of mussel meat, Xiao Zhou still didn't know what to do.

After handling so many mussels, she now only feels the stench of mussels all over her body.

To be honest, she has lived for more than 20 years without even killing a single fish. It is already a big challenge for her to deal with so many mussels.

Qin Ming picked up the good mussel meat and poured it into a bigger basin.

Then add water, starch, edible salt and high-grade liquor to the basin.

Xiao Zhou rinsed his arm with the faucet at the side, and asked curiously while rinsing: "Qin Ming, do you need to add so many things to wash the mussel meat???"

"That's right, adding part of the water and adding a lot of cornstarch and edible salt can effectively remove the impurities in the mussels."

"The effect of high-alcohol liquor is to remove its fishy smell."

While explaining, Qin Ming rubbed and cleaned the mussel meat with both hands.

The cleaning process needs to be repeated several times.

It is not considered to be washed until the clear water in the basin becomes clear to the naked eye.

Xiao Zhou felt that it was an eye-opener, but he didn't expect to pay so much attention to making a dish.

This man who is only a little older than her knows a lot! ! !

She feels like her father...

The main reason is that Qin Ming is mature and steady in doing things, calm and confident, knows a lot of things, and gives people a very reliable feeling.

The fans in the live broadcast room saw Qin Ming's method of cleaning the mussels, and they also said that they learned it.

"I usually use this method when washing the pig's large intestine, and it is easier to clean."

"I'll go to the market tomorrow to buy mussels and come back and try it myself."

"I wasn't interested in clam meat at first, but after seeing Brother Ming do it like this, I feel like I can do it too!"

Qin Ming's explanation was quite careful.

While doing it, he will introduce to everyone what his purpose is and what effect it can achieve.

Therefore, after seeing what he did, everyone also wanted to learn how to do it.

After all, there is such a clear and simple teaching, if you can't learn it like this, you really have to call it out! ! !

This is also one of the reasons why Qin Ming explained so carefully.

Nowadays, many people like to eat out or order takeaway, and they are not interested in cooking by themselves.

Of course, this cannot be said to be bad.

It's just, wouldn't it be better if I could learn how to cook? ? ?
If someone watches the video of his cooking and has an urge to try it himself, it means that everything he does is meaningful.

"But the mussel meat is old and hard, you can't even chew it, how can you eat it???"

"I also went to the river to catch mussels when I was a child, and I tried to do it once. It really is as hard as it is!!!"

"That's right, my husband did it once before, and it turned out to be harder than his little steel rod, I couldn't even eat it!!!"

"I'm different. My husband's little steel rod has never been hard."

Many fans have raised their own questions.

Although mussel meat is not often served on the table, many people have eaten it.

Many people have even tried to cook it themselves.

Therefore, everyone knows that the meat of mussels is really hard and old.

No matter how you do it, there is no way to eat it! ! !

Then, what method will Qin Ming use to process the mussel meat to make it easier to eat? ? ?

With this question in mind, he continued to read. At this time, Qin Ming had already cleaned the mussels, and now he began to process the mussel meat with a kitchen knife.

He didn't watch the barrage, but he would explain every key step in detail.

And this part at this time is the key to making the mussel meat easy to eat! ! !
He picked up one piece of mussel meat and said, "When the mussel moves, it relies entirely on this axe foot. This place has the greatest amount of movement, so it is also the hardest and oldest place."

"When processing, you need to pat it with a knife, or chop it with the back of a knife to make it softer, and then slice it."

"The mussel meat cooked in this way will not be old."

Qin Ming slapped the clam's ax foot with a thick blade several times before slicing it.

Seeing this, everyone felt suddenly enlightened.

"That's how it is! No wonder the mussels I made are old and hard. It turns out that they haven't been processed through this step!!!"

“I must try it when I go back!!!”

"This little trick is really wonderful!!!"

"As expected of Brother Ming, the absolute and eternal God!!!"

Although Xiao Zhou didn't know what was going on?But it also looks great.

"Father...that's not right, Qin Ming, can you make the mussel meat taste better by patting it like this???" Xiao Zhou tilted his head, his big eyes were full of doubts.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "That's right, you'll know when you eat."

Hearing what he said, Xiao Zhou was full of anticipation.

She knew Qin Ming's superb cooking skills.

Since he said so, it must be no problem! ! !
Qin Ming was eating clam meat while Xiao Zhou watched from the side.

The two young people in the elegant courtyard looked like a beautiful landscape painting, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Giggle!!!!"

Not long after, there was a rooster crowing outside, indicating that the rooster had returned.

The huge cock held its head high, walking in like a mighty general.

Behind it, followed by a group of well-behaved little hens.

Xiao Zhou was really surprised: "What a big cock! This guy won't want to attack me again?!"

When she went home with Qin Ming for the first time, there was a misunderstanding about sending the chicken.

Sending the end chicken thought she was a thief who sneaked into the house, and chased her hard enough.

So much so that she now feels a little dark when she sees the chicken at the end.

However, the delivery chicken didn't even look at her, and walked past her with a very arrogant attitude, and then a pair of small corn eyes stared at the pot of clam meat that was processed.

"Giggle!!!!"

So much fresh clam meat made the final chicken very excited.

It let out a loud cry, and then rushed to the pot of clam meat first, wanting to eat it to its heart's content.

The little hens who followed saw that their big king attacked first, and they all followed closely behind, wanting to feast on it.

Fortunately, Qin Ming had quick eyesight and quick hands, quickly removed the good clam meat, and kicked the chicken aside with his feet.

"Cluck? Cluck!!!" The chicken at the end was furious.

Qin Ming taught it a lesson: "This is a good thing, you can't touch it! Did you see the other pot? If you want to eat it, eat that pot!"

What Qin Ming was referring to was to clean up the unnecessary parts.

The chicken at the end also knew that the quality of the clam meat that was disposed of in another pot must not be so good.

These two-legged beasts are too stingy.

I hid the good one and tucked it away for myself to enjoy, but in the end I gave up the bad one.

Is there anyone who does this? ? ?
Although I am a chicken, can you not be such a dog? ? ?

Qin Ming also knew that the guy who gave away the chicken would definitely not be convinced, so in order to appease him, Qin Ming had no choice but to throw a few pieces of good clam meat to him.

"Is that all right???"

Not much, but talk is better than nothing.

Sending the chicken to the end let him go, and led his concubines to enjoy another pot of river mussel meat.

Xiao Zhou was dumbfounded.

She knew this big cock was full of spirituality.

But she never thought that she could be so spiritual! ! !

Seeing the picture of them eating together, Xiao Zhou also found it very interesting.

Relying on the fact that her relationship with Sending Chicken is pretty good, she dared to go up and touch Sending Chicken's feathers.

There was no response from the chicken at the end of the delivery, which can be regarded as acquiescing.

After Qin Ming processed the good mussel meat, he began to cook it.

He had already placed a large pot of cold water in advance, and then put the clam meat in it, and cooked it on the regenerated fire.

Then he cut some ham, blanched the ham again and filled it up again.

The purpose of this step is to remove impurities and excess saltiness from the surface of the ham.

Then wash the pot and reheat it, and add peanut oil.

After the pot is smoking, add the ham and stir-fry.

This kind of stir-frying process can stimulate the aroma of the ham meat and fry out the excess fat.

When the ham begins to change color slightly, you can add onion, ginger and other auxiliary materials.

Finally add the mussel meat and stir fry.

When the stir fry is almost done, pour all the ingredients into the casserole.

This casserole was prepared by Qin Ming before.

Inside were a few leftover ribs.

Although there are very few spare ribs, they are also very delicious when stewed with river mussels.

"Steam the mussels with bacon, put them in the casserole, and just let it suffocate."

After putting the casserole on the stove and asking Xiao Zhou to add more firewood, Qin Ming didn't care about it anymore.

The first dish is ready, just wait for the bacon and mussels to be stewed, and then it can be served.

The second dish is Braised River Mussel Meat.

The process of making this dish is a little bit more, because he also uses pork belly.

After heating up the pot, Qin Ming pressed the pigskin into the pot, and used the boiling pot to scald the pigskin until it was burnt yellow.

The purpose of this step is to remove the miscellaneous hairs and excess impurities on the surface of the pigskin.

After scalding the pigskin to make it hard, Qin Ming rinsed it and scraped off the excess impurities with a knife.

The washed pork belly is cut into pieces, and then fried to get a lot of oily fat.

Finally, put the blanched mussel meat in and stew together, and wait until the final juice is collected.

Whether it's braised mussels with bacon or braised mussels in brown sauce, it takes some time to cook these two dishes well.

Therefore, Qin Ming was not in a hurry to make the last stir-fried mussel.

Taking advantage of this spare time, he asked Xiao Zhou to wash the rest of the pots, and pick a few big and beautiful clam shells to cook.

The purpose of this is to boil the clam shells clean, disinfect and sterilize.

You can use clam shells as a serving bowl later.

After the braised mussel meat was almost juiced, Qin Ming began to season it.

Finally, place it on top of the mussel shells.

He wants to clean the pot again, heat up the oil and start frying the clam meat.

There are three main dishes today.

Braised mussels with bacon, stir-fried mussels, and braised mussels.

The main role of these three dishes is naturally river mussel meat.

As for the pork belly and ham, they are just decorations.

Soon, all three dishes were served.

Looking at the three completely different dishes, Xiao Zhou fell in love with Qin Ming already.

Obviously there is only one main ingredient, but he can think of several different cooking methods.

Really worthy of being a folk chef! ! !

Looking at the three delicious dishes, Xiao Zhou couldn't hold back his foodie nature for a long time.

"Then I won't be polite!!!" She first served herself a bowl of stewed mussel soup with fresh meat, and after trying to drink it, the salty and delicious taste made her feel as if there was a volcano in her mouth Like an explosion.

The taste is rich and very appealing.

Although nothing is added to the seasoning of this dish, it still has a salty taste because of the ham.

At the same time, because of the deliciousness of the mussel meat, the soup is also very fresh.

There is such a surprising effect when two completely different ingredients are mixed together! ! !

"I'll try this again!!!"

Braised river clam meat, the method is the same as braised pork, except that more river mussel meat is added.

Xiao Zhou ate the mussel meat first, and found that the mussel meat was soft and delicious, not hard at all.

The braised pork is melt in the mouth, very delicious.

And the last stir-fried clam meat is very spicy and goes well with rice.

It is indeed not easy to make river clam meat well.

When many people are cooking, there is no way to remove the strong fishy smell, and there is no way to make it soft and delicious.

This also makes many people who are quite interested in it, but are too lazy to deal with it.

But Qin Ming can cook it so well, and even cook it in different ways. This cooking skill is really amazing.

Xiao Zhou filled a bowl of rice without hesitation, and started to eat it with stir-fried and mixed meat.

Her appetite wasn't very big, but since she met Qin Ming, she found that she really could eat more and more.

A bowl of rice is just the basic operation! ! !
