Chapter 737 Cramps
Li Yi glanced at the barrage and was immediately amused by the audience's barrage.
Smiling and shaking his head, he explained: "Dragon gives birth to nine sons, which can change in many ways. In ancient times, many animals were named after dragons.
For example, the ancients called the alligator Zhupolong, earthworms Earthworm, sea cucumber Oolong, and hazel grouse Feilong.
Some of them can be used as medicine, and some can be used as vegetables.
The dragon skin and dragon marrow I mentioned are taken from the dragon's body, and the keel bone and dragon's tendons are both taken from the sturgeon. "
Hao Libao listened to his explanation on the side, and then understood what he meant by cramping and peeling off the skin, crushing the bones and sucking out the marrow.
Although dragontail and sturgeon are relatively expensive, they are also common ingredients in high-end restaurants, and Hao Libao has also used them.
If you use these two kinds of fish, it should be no problem.
But the dragon tendon was okay. He knew that sturgeon fish with a thick dragon tendon in their bones were listed as tributes in ancient times.
But how to cook dragon skin, dragon bone and dragon marrow, he was at a loss.
The skin of the dragon's head is thicker, and when cooked it has a strong gelatin texture, so it should taste pretty good.
But how to eat fish bones?
Hao Libao was full of doubts, but he didn’t know where to start.
While talking, Li Yi had already fished out more than a dozen pieces of bamboo shoot paper.
After hanging all the bamboo curtains on the rack to dry, Li Yicai clapped his hands and stood up.
Seeing that he had finished his work, Hao Libao asked: "Is the dragon bone dish you mentioned made with fish bones?"
"right."
Li Yi looked at him and said with a smile: "Master Hao just came over. Let's try these dishes today. How about it?"
Hearing his words, Hao Libao's Adam's apple twitched, and then nodded: "That's fine."
“That’s good, Wu Lei!”
Li Yi nodded and walked out the door, calling Wu Lei.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Lei was cutting onions and turned to look at Li Yi.
Seeing the two rolls of paper stuck in his nostrils, Li Yi paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's okay, just cut your onions!"
As he spoke, he looked around the kitchen, looking for someone who could help.
After seeing Zhao Wenzhuo chatting with Xiong Xinxin, he raised his hand and shouted: "Brother Xin! Brother Zhuo! Come and help!"
"coming!"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Wenzhuo quickly raised his hand in response and walked over quickly.
Seeing Hao Libao following Li Yi out of the operation room, Zhao Wenzhuo smiled and said hello: "Master Hao, long time no see."
Hao Libao smiled at him and nodded: "It's been a long time."
When filming "Man-Han Banquet", Zhao Wenzhuo and the director went to the State Guesthouse to visit Hao Libao and learned from it.
The character played by Zhao Wenzhuo in the movie is called Long Kunbao, and the prototype is Hao Libao himself.
Li Yi had already turned into the storage room. Seeing this, Hao Libao followed him.
Zhao Wenzhuo and Xiong Xinxin followed behind them and entered the storage room together. They saw Li Yi standing in front of the largest glass tank and placing a large basin in front of the tank.
There are several large fish over one meter in length floating in the transparent glass tank. Their dark bodies look like torpedoes under the water, giving them a strong sense of power.
“Come and help me catch one.”
Li Yi stood in front of the glass tank, turned around and motioned to Zhao Wenzhuo and Xiong Xinxin: "I'll grab the head, you grab the tail, and just fish it out into the basin."
"good."
Zhao Wenzhuo stepped forward, and Xiong Xinxin also came to the end of the tank, ready.
Hao Libao stood aside, but had no intention of stepping forward to help.
It’s not that he relies on his status, but because he knows how much he weighs.
This sturgeon weighs at least forty pounds, and the strength of the fish under water is ten times greater.
Forty pounds of fish requires four hundred pounds of strength.
His bones are dozens of years old, so he may not be as strong as this fish.
This is much more useful than him going up to help catch fish.
Seeing Zhao Wenzhuo and Xiong Xinxin in place, Li Yi rolled up his sleeves and gestured: "I'll pick up its head first, and you guys grab the fish tail, grab it slowly, don't startle it, and use more force when it comes out of the water."
As he spoke, he slowly started and put his hands into the water.
The character of the farmed sturgeon is relatively gentle. As long as it is not disturbed, it will not struggle hard.
Li Yi stretched out his hand under the sturgeon, and then hugged the head and upper belly of the sturgeon.
Zhao Wenzhuo and Xiong Xinxin also carefully grabbed its tail, but did not dare to use too much force.
Li Yi slowly used his strength to fish it out of the water.
Sensing that the body began to sink out of the water, the sturgeon finally realized the danger and hurriedly struggled.
But it was already too late, Li Yi used his strength to lift it out of the glass jar.
Zhao Wenzhuo and Xiong Xinxin, who were holding the fish's tail, also quickly grabbed the fish's tail and controlled it to prevent it from struggling.
But the Arowana was very strong, and after struggling hard, Xiong Xinxin was so unsteady on his feet that he almost fell down.
Upon seeing this, Li Yi freed up his hand and flicked his finger above the sturgeon's head.
Bang!
His finger bounced back as if it had bounced off a rubber tire.
But the sturgeon suddenly lost its strength to struggle and calmed down instantly.
Sturgeon is a cartilaginous fish, and the hardness of the fish bones is limited. When Li Yi's brain collapsed, it instantly became dizzy and could only obediently enter the basin.
“This fish is really strong!”
Zhao Wenzhuo only dared to let go after seeing the sturgeon enter the basin. He sighed: "It's a bit slippery, I almost didn't catch it."
Xiong Xinxin shook his head and sighed: "I'm old, I can't even catch a fish."
“Eat a few more pieces of meat later to make up for it.”
Li Yi joked and carried the sturgeon to the kitchen with them.
Seeing them carrying such a big fish out, everyone in the kitchen gathered around in curiosity and marveled.
Yang Shaoyue and the others also took out their mobile phones and took a photo with Arowana.
But when Li Yi killed the fish, they all screamed and were scared away.
Hao Libao looked on, observing Li Yi's techniques.
When he saw Li Yi finding the fish's brain behind the gills and killing it with one precise stab, he couldn't help but nodded.
This technique is indeed beautiful and crisp.
The brain was penetrated, and the sturgeon completely lost its life, and was placed on the table by Li Yi.
Subsequently, Li Yi took a long knife and cut the second bone plate behind the head of the sturgeon, completely separating the fish head from its spine.
Following that, he changed to a small carving knife, cut the end of the dorsal fin above the fish's tail, and made a circle around the fish's spine.
Seeing this scene, Hao Libao's eyelids couldn't help but jump.
Is this guy so straightforward with his sword?
The tendons of sturgeon are very brittle. If you use too much force when pulling, the tendons will be broken.
If you accidentally leave an edge on the tendon while cutting, it will definitely be severed.
Even Hao Libao himself would cut the dragon's tendon carefully, for fear of accidentally cutting the dragon's tendon.
But when Li Yi cut the knife, he didn't even look at it, and just pierced him with the knife.
Seeing this scene, Hao Libao's heart froze.
The tendon of this sturgeon must be broken.
Li Yi took out the carving knife and put it aside. Then he grabbed the fish's tail with one hand, pushed the fish's body with the other, and pulled it gently.
Soon, the fish tail was connected to a spine about the thickness of a mineral water bottle cap, and it fully elongated.
Looking at the slowly growing dragon tendon, Hao Libao's eyes grew wider and wider.
After Li Yi pulled out the last piece completely, he looked at Li Yi and became as surprised as everyone around him.
This dragon tendon was not severed?
