Chapter 632 Why is this shark so stupid?

"Brother Chen Hui, what did Uncle Shuqing ask you to tell me?"

"Mom said she didn't call me, why did he..."

An Wenjing looked at the motorcycle driving away and asked in confusion.

Chen Hui briefly explained the situation and told her not to let anything slip that night.

When Huang Shuqing came to buy Ganoderma lucidum, Chen Hui explained considerately that he bought it for his friend.

"Uncle Shuqing is really interesting. He is so embarrassed to buy things for his friends."

An Wenjing didn't think much about it.

Holding hands with Chen Hui and smiling, she returned home.

Huang Shuqing wanted to cook tiger shark, so there was a lot more to do in the afternoon.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Hui found a large net bag.

First put the tiger shark in, avoiding the sharp spines on its dorsal fin, take it out of the tank and put it aside.

"Brother Chen Hui, do you need this?"

An Wenjing took the rolling pin out of the kitchen.

When Chen Hui usually handles fish, he will use this to knock the fish unconscious first.

"No need! Just leave it there for a while."

"This is a fish that lives on the seafloor. It won't survive long without oxygen."

Chen Hui put the net bag on the ground in the yard, walked into the kitchen, lit the charcoal stove, and took a kettle to fill it with some spring water and put it on the stove to boil.

He added more water to the big pot and started a fire behind the stove.

An Wenjing was looking at the tiger shark in the backyard.

After waiting for about ten minutes, I saw it was motionless and came in and shouted:

"Brother Chen Hui, it might be dead!"

Chen Hui glanced at his watch. "A shark weighing more than ten kilograms should still have a breath left! But we can deal with it now."

I broke off several long branches and stuffed them into the stove, letting the fire continue to burn.

He got up and went outside to bring in the tiger shark.

"Hearing you talk about a shark weighing more than ten kilograms, it always feels strange."

"In my concept, a shark is just a huge creature!"

An Wenjing followed behind, talking and laughing.

Chen Hui placed the tiger shark on the chopping board and first cut off the fin with sharp spines on its back.

Turn the shark over and begin to gut it.

"Brother Chen Hui, this fish scale, no, this is not really a fish scale, shouldn't we process this skin first?"

An Wenjing asked as she touched the rough surface of the tiger shark with her hand.

"I'll deal with it later. I'll deal with the fish belly first and cut off two sections of the better fish meat."

"Uncle Shuqing said he would take one copy back with him and give another copy to Huang Guangdian to take back."

As Chen Hui spoke, he carefully took out the shark's internal organs.

First, cut off the gallbladder and discard it, then take out the whole piece of fish liver and put it on a plate.

I used a small axe to chopped off two pieces of the fish belly, rinsed them briefly and put them aside.

"It's done, now you can start scraping the fish skin!"

"Wife, please make the fire in the pot burn brighter, we will need it later." Chen Hui said.

An Wenjing nodded in agreement and went to the back of the stove to light the fire.

I saw Chen Hui take a basin of hot water from the pot and put the remaining fish in to blanch it.

Then he turned his back to me, lowered his head and started to process the fish.

剐.
剐剐
"Brother Chen Hui, that sound is so creepy, are you scraping the shark's skin?"

An Wenjing rubbed the goose bumps on her arms.

"Yes! Look!"

As Chen Hui said this, he turned around and showed the kitchen knife to An Wenjing.

On the kitchen knife was a small pile of fish skin that had just been scraped off.

An Wenjing pinched some and rubbed it between her fingertips. "Why is this shark skin like sand? So rough and hard."

"That's why it's very difficult to handle. You have to scald it with hot water before you can scrape it off." Chen Hui went to scrape the fish skin again.

An Wenjing stuffed firewood into the stove and stood next to Chen Hui to watch.

The shark, which originally looked quite majestic, became white and tender after the skin was scraped off, and the fish head looked silly. "Brother Chen Hui, is this why you didn't scrape the skin off those two pieces?"

An Wenjing pointed at the two large pieces of fish that she was going to give to Huang Shuqing.

"Yeah! After this is done, there's nothing left to watch."

"This fish costs two hundred yuan. Just for the price, they will have the patience to handle it." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"This little shark can be sold for two hundred!?"

An Wenjing was a little surprised.

Seeing Chen Hui slicing fish, he asked again: "Brother Chen Hui, how do you eat this fish? Eat it raw?"

“Shark is not suitable for eating raw.”

"The part between the fish head and the fish tail that is being cooked in soup should be blanched half and braised the other half."

Chen Hui stopped and thought for a moment, then lowered his head to continue processing the fish head.

"Huh?! That's it?"

An Wenjing was confused.

This method is too homely and doesn't seem like the treatment a two hundred dollar fish deserves.

“High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking methods.”

"The only way to make shark meat taste good is to cook it using everyday cooking methods, which makes it different from other fish."

"The value of these two hundred yuan becomes clear once we compare them," Chen Hui said with a smile.

An Wenjing pondered over what Chen Hui said.

He nodded and said, "Why do I feel that what you said makes sense?"

The water on the charcoal stove boiled.

An Wenjing made a large cup of tea and put it on the table to cool, then poured the remaining boiling water into the kettle.

Chen Hui dealt with all the sharks.

Fry the fish head and tail with lard first, then add hot water and simmer over low heat.

I also processed the other dishes.

I poured myself a cup of cold tea, went outside the house, drank the tea and looked into the distance.

Huang Shuqing and Huang Guangdian were seen coming from the direction of the bridge, each carrying a large bag.

"Wife, make two cups of tea! People are here!" Chen Hui turned around and shouted into the house.

"Know it!"

Cold tea is only suitable for drinking by yourself. You still have to make hot tea when entertaining guests.

An Wenjing responded loudly, took the large teacup into the kitchen, took out the cups and made two cups of hot tea.

Walk outside and wait with Chen Hui.

Huang Shuqing came over from Wu Jinhua's door, saw the two, waved his hand and asked loudly: "You two young couples, are you standing here to greet me?"

"Yes!" An Wenjing said with a smile.

"I'm here to greet Guangdian-nii."

"You've come here several times, and you still need someone to greet you?" Chen Hui joked.

"You called me this morning and said you had some shark ready, right?"

"I have never eaten shark. Take me to see it."

Huang Shuqing strode forward, his eyes moving rapidly, and glared at Chen Hui to signal him not to cause trouble.

Immediately and loudly change the subject.

"Eat shark?"

"Is this true? You must be kidding, right?" Huang Guangdian was immediately attracted by Huang Shuqing's words.

"It's not that big, only about ten pounds."

"He called me this morning to ask me to come to the village to see it, but I didn't come because I didn't have time. I asked him to leave two pieces for us to take back and eat, and we can just cook the rest."

Huang Shuqing gestured the size.

He emphasized again without leaving any trace that he had not been here today.

No time!

An Wenjing held back her laughter and smiled with her head down.

"Everything has been prepared according to your requirements. Would you like to go in and take a look?" Chen Hui asked with a smile.
