Chapter 655 Dealing with Deer Tails Is Really Troublesome! Dundun: Mommy Won’t Let Me Play with Fools! 【Please Subscribe】

"Is this deer tail really edible?"

At the door of the kitchen, Shen Jiayue opened the foam box sent by Lao Huang and saw several bloody and furry deer tails inside.

The tail is not big, slightly flat, and covered with brown and white hairs.

Perhaps these deer tails had just been cut off, and the blood on them had not yet solidified, so there was a strong smell of blood. Coupled with the location of the tail itself, the fishy smell was very strong.

As soon as Shen Jiayue smelled the smell, she couldn't help but take a step back and frowned.

The smell was even worse than the stench of pig intestines, and it felt like it was not something humans could eat.

She looked at Lin Xu and asked again:

"Xubao, did we make a mistake?"

It is said that deer tail is a kind of delicacy, but isn’t this delicacy too unappetizing?

Lin Xu smiled and said:

"That's right, it's the tail of a sika deer, and preferably a male deer's tail. It's bigger and thicker, and it tastes better after the bones are removed."

The smell of deer tail is indeed a bit unpleasant, especially the smell of blood mixed with the fishy smell, which makes people want to spit out the overnight meal.

This is actually the first threshold faced when cooking deer tail - removing the odor.

Chinese food cooking has always followed the principle of "tasteless food makes it in, taste makes it come out".

Ingredients that have no flavor themselves, such as sea cucumber, shark's fin, abalone and other ingredients, need to use ingredients such as soup stock to infuse the fresh flavor into them.

On the contrary, you have to find a way to remove the flavorful ingredients so that the dishes will be delicious.

Lin Xu endured the smell, took the deer's tail away, and saw two bags underneath. One bag contained a large piece of venison, and the other bag contained bloody antler.

Deer antlers are just sprouted deer antlers. It is said to be a famous nourishing product. Drinking the wine soaked in deer antlers can make people go shirtless in the winter.

These two ingredients are the side dishes of steamed deer tail, and they are also the key to making steamed deer tail more high-end and luxurious.

After reading this, he closed the box and said to Shen Jiayue:

"Get ready to take pictures. When the food is done, you won't be so disgusted."

"Really? How do I feel that after making this thing, the taste will still be strong?"

Although Shen Jiayue was quite skeptical, shooting videos was her job after all. She went to the small kitchen to set up the shooting lights, adjust the equipment, and get ready for shooting.

Lin Xu went to the big kitchen and started preparing the ingredients.

The ingredients needed to steam deer tail are very simple. Except for the green onion, ginger and pepper to remove the fishy smell, the remaining ingredients are a yellow-leaf cabbage.

Chinese cabbage is the soul of this dish and the key to the deliciousness of deer tail.

The simpler the ingredients, the higher the cooking requirements for the chef, and the greater the probability of overturning. This is why chefs are reluctant to cook this dish.

Lin Xu prepared the ingredients and came to the kitchen carrying the box containing venison, antler and tail.

At this time, Shen Jiayue was also ready. Seeing that Lin Xu was only holding a big cabbage, she couldn't help but blinked:

"That's it? Isn't it too simple?"

"Chinese cabbage is used to make deer tail, velvet antler needs to be simmered slowly in stock, and venison needs to be braised in sauce - these two ingredients that work together are a bit more troublesome."

Normal steamed deer tail is actually wrapped in pickled salted cabbage leaves, with the bones removed and cleaned, and steamed in a pot.

But this is just the regular version. If you want to eat the deluxe version, you have to think a little bit more.

For example, after removing the bones, put a piece of velvet antler simmered in stock to serve as the bone of the deer tail, and fill it with some braised venison.

After steaming, slice and serve.

Deer tail is rich in fat and gum, so you can't eat it directly with chopsticks, as it will easily make you sick.

The best way is to wrap it in pickled cabbage leaves and eat it.

Venison is a relatively hot ingredient, and deer tail is very greasy, so pairing it with salty and crisp cabbage leaves can not only remove the greasiness, but also neutralize the heat caused by the venison.

Whether Mr. Park Toyota, who was a chef in the Marshal's Mansion, or Yuan Mei, the first gourmet in the Qing Dynasty, there is only one way to cook deer tail.

Using fresh food to make mutton and using cold food to make hot food is the role of cabbage in this dish.

In addition, using the ubiquitous cabbage to cook the precious deer tail implies the cooking concept of complementing each other and complementing each other.

When you're ready, start shooting.

Lin Xu spread a layer of plastic wrap on the workbench, then took out all the deer tail, braised meat, and velvet antlers from the box, plus Chinese cabbage. After placing them all, he signaled Shen Jiayue to turn on the computer.

"Hello everyone, my name is Lin Xu! Recently, many netizens have asked me if I can't cook high-end Northeastern cuisine and want this series? No, mainly because I have been waiting for ingredients recently, and I made it for people. I was visiting the ginkgo garden, so I wasted a little time... Today, this issue’s high-end Northeastern dish is here, it’s steamed deer tail!”

The dish "Steamed Deer Tail" is written and pronounced in two pronunciations. When pronouncing it, you need to change the pronunciation of the tail to "yǐ" and add the pronunciation "er". It is pronounced as "Steamed Deer Tail".

Not only is deer tail pronounced like this, but the sheep tail oil that Yanjing people use as the first dish when they eat meat in a copper pot is also pronounced as sheep tail oil.

The reason is that the suffix for "tail" has the same pronunciation as the word "wilt", which sounds like swearing.

It is said that if the waiter in the past did not pronounce the suffix as yǐ but pronounced it as wei, he would be slapped on the spot.

Logically speaking, Shen Jiayue should be the one to start the conversation today, starting with a cross talk and then introducing the dish of steamed deer tail.

But Lin Xu was disgusted with this kind of awkward domestic small theater. Just cook and there was no need to perform awkwardly here, so he didn't do it.

After introducing the ingredients, he said to the camera:

"To be honest, deer tail is the smelliest ingredient I have ever put away. It has a stronger smell than intestines. I need to get started quickly to avoid filling the house with the smell."

After saying that, he dipped the deer tail into cold water and soaked it first.

The processing of deer tail is very particular. You need to soak it in cold water for a while, then take it out, rinse it with boiling water and soak it, and then pluck it.

Shen Jiayue asked:

"Can't you just use boiling water to scald it?"

"No, it will burn the deerskin and affect the taste."

Although the cumbersome steps of some dishes are made up by seniors in the industry, many steps were also discovered by them through testing and cannot be easily simplified.

And soaking the deer tail first can also temporarily suppress the odor.

If you pour boiling water directly on a deer tail that has a strong fishy smell, the water vapor will immediately spread the smell of the deer tail all over the house.

While soaking the deer tail, Lin Xu brought another basin, put the fresh deer antlers in and washed them carefully.

The blood inside the velvet antler is extremely precious, so when washing, the blood should not be lost or the velvet antler skin should be broken. Just rub the skin carefully and wash it once.

After doing this, he scooped out half of the casserole soup stock, put the velvet antlers in, two red dates, two slices of ginger, and a piece of green onion, and simmered on the stove over low heat.

Deer antlers are rarely eaten directly, both because they are precious and because they are too powerful.

So most of them are soaked in wine, or dried and cut into slices for consumption.

There are very few people who directly use fresh velvet antlers as ingredients for cooking, mainly because everyone is reluctant to spend money like this.

The reason why Lin Xu did this was purely to showcase high-end Northeastern cuisine.

The Northeastern cuisine back then was very arrogant.

You take a deer antler and treat it like a treasure, cut it into small pieces at a time and use it as ginseng, right? Then I will make it into a dish directly and use it as pickles and porridge.

The Marshal's Mansion back then was like this.

No matter where the guests come from, they will be impressed by the products here.

After simmering the velvet antler, Lin Xu divided the piece of venison and sauced it using the method of sauce donkey meat. When it was almost marinated, he put it in the marinade for marinating.

After doing this, he started to boil water.

After the water is boiled, take out the deer tails soaked in the water one by one and put them into an empty basin.

Then he poured the boiled water in and started perming.

The hot water was poured in, and Lin Xu held a grate and pressed it into the basin. He pressed the floating deer tail into the basin and let the hot water soak it completely.

About a minute later, he took off the grate, took out the deer's tail, and rubbed it on the tail while it was hot. The fine deer hair on it fell off, revealing the slightly whitish deer skin.

Peel off all the fur on the surface and quickly put it into cold water to cool down, lest the residual heat burns the skin of the deer's tail.

After everything is done, place the cold water basin under the faucet, turn on the faucet, reduce the water flow rate, and start rinsing with running water.

The method to remove odor from fresh meat is very simple. Just soak it in cold water. No matter how strong the smell is, as long as it is soaked in cold water and rinsed with running water, the odor can basically be reduced.

As for whether it is a waste of water, in fact, if the faucet is turned down, it will not consume much water in an hour.

In cooking, these steps are essential.

For example, the classic Cantonese delicacy Pork Ribs in Black Bean Sauce. The reason why those short ribs are tender and delicious without any odor is the result of repeated rinsing under the tap.

But now some hotels also have tricks, such as putting it in the washing machine and adding water to spin it, which not only saves time, but also saves water.

“These deer tails look so plump after losing their hair, they’re quite cute.”

Without the fishy smell, Shen Jiayue no longer dislikes these tails, and even sees the cuteness in their bare appearance.

Lin Xu was a little dumbfounded. He had never thought that this thing had anything to do with cuteness.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, I fished out the deer tail that had been washed for an hour.

At this time, the deer's tail became whiter and tenderer, and looked chubby.

Wipe off the moisture on the surface and place it on the workbench. Then Lin Xu picked up the spray gun, turned down the flame and burned the deer's tail.

This is done to remove some of the fine fuzz on the deer's tail and increase the taste.

In addition, it also further removes the odor from the deer's tail.

Most of the odor on deer tail comes from the pores, so it is necessary to burn it.

After burning them all, continue to soak the deer tails in water. This kind of dish with a strong smell cannot be cooked in a hurry. You have to take it slowly and steadily.

Only in this way will the dishes produced be delicious and not smell fishy.

Shen Jiayue asked:

"Soak the hair in water before plucking it, soak it in water after plucking it, and soak it in water after burning it. Then do you have to soak it in water when you remove the bones later?"

Lin Xu shook his head:

"You can't soak it again after cutting it. At most, wash it with clean water."

After soaking for a while, he cleaned the deer tail in the basin with water, and even scrubbed the areas with black ash.

Clean it, put it in a basin, add green onions, ginger slices, a handful of peppercorns, some celery leaves, coriander roots and other ingredients, add mineral water, put the deer tail in and soak it.

After burning the skin, you cannot soak it in running water. Instead, use onion and ginger water.

These ingredients all have the effect of removing odor. Soaking them in this way can remove the odor from the deer tail to the maximum extent.

After soaking in these, it’s almost noon.

Lin Xu marinated the almost marinated venison, then washed his hands, and started having lunch with Shen Jiayue.

Today's lunch in the store is still a box lunch as usual.

A thousand box lunches, no matter how precise the preparation, will always be a little extra, so the employees at the cheap store can only help clean up.

Lin Xu filled a bowl of rice with the braised bamboo shoots, roasted eggplant, stir-fried pork and soy sauce chicken on the table, which were all included in the lunch box.

Basically, they are suitable for batch production. After all, with so many servings, if you want to make some complicated dishes, you won't be able to make them even if the store stops working.

At the same time, the car show was on site.

Chen Yan was eating salmon salad when she saw Dundun coming over and asked curiously:

"What? Do you want to eat too?"

She picked out a piece of salmon that was not stained with salad dressing and placed it on the lid of the lunch box. Dundun lowered her head and smelled it. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, she lowered her head and started eating.

Chen Yan looked full of surprise.

I go!

This stinky baby is finally willing to eat what I give him.

Dundun is very picky and wary, and only eats food fed by a few people such as Lin Xu, Shen Jiayue, Shu Yun, Chen Meijuan, and Han Shuzhen.

Chen Yan really wanted to join this ranks, but every time she took the initiative to show her kindness, she was met with Dundun's indifferent rejection.

Unexpectedly, I was willing to eat it today, and it was salmon picked out of the bowl.

"My baby eats the same bowl of food as me and doesn't dislike my aunt at all. It's great!"

Zeng Xiaoqi, who was pulling rice next to her, said:

"It's also possible that I chose to eat from the same bowl with you because I wanted to see if you were still alive after eating. From this point of view, you are just like the emperor's poison-testing...eunuch!"

Chen Yan: "..."

If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute, little furbolg!

She took a bite of the salad and hummed softly:

"With the beauty of this young girl, even if you go to the palace, you must be at the level of a noble concubine. What kind of eunuch is not a eunuch? I think you look like a washboard, so you look like a eunuch."

Zeng Xiaoqi pouted:

"Okay, with that little belly of yours, the emperor might think he was happy to have an affair with someone else when he saw it. Even if he doesn't kill you, he will be thrown into the cold palace and he won't be able to freeze you to death."

"Can you first clarify the concepts of cold palace and cold storage?"

Chen Yan originally wanted to show off her recent fat loss results, but she thought the time had not come yet and she would wait until her weight dropped below 100 before she started showing off.

They say girls weigh less than 100, and are either flat-chested or short. It’s my turn, baby Yan, to break this curse!

Dundun finished eating a piece of salmon, glanced at Wolong Fengxia who was bickering, and then left the office in a hurry, preparing to go and play with the girls.

Mommy said to stay away from fools. I think these two are quite stupid, so stay away!

Yue Liyue had just finished eating and saw Dundun going out, so he immediately held up his mobile phone to follow him. He had been live broadcasting the auto show for the past two days, and his number of fans was so high that he didn't even stop broadcasting while eating.

After leaving the office, he changed the live camera from the front to the rear:

"Everyone is eating at the moment. I will help take care of Dundun, see where it is going, and explore the kitten's interests and hobbies."

As soon as I heard that Dundun was going to be broadcast live, the live broadcast room immediately became popular.

"Give Dundun more shots, I love it so much!"

"Me too. Every time I see Dundun, I can't help but want to kiss him."

"I heard that Dundun likes to play with pretty girls, so I bought a hot girl outfit and planned to become friends with her."

"Aren't you a man upstairs? Two days ago, you complained that the Philips razor was not easy to use... We, Dundun, like a young lady, and you are not a pervert!"

"A man wearing a hot girl's outfit? This is too exciting, right?"

"You can absorb the smell upstairs. Even a pervert like me thinks that babble is very perverted."

It's noon now, and the car model girls are taking a break. Some of them went outside and some went to the lounge.

Dundun walked around the main venue but couldn't find anyone, so he ran to the Ferrari showroom not far away, jumped onto a Ferrari sports car with a slight jump.

First he rolled on the hood and then started licking his paws.

Guangdong Liyue followed up and continued to live broadcast Dundun. The number of people in the live broadcast room kept rising, small gifts kept coming, and the chicken legs never broke.

"Meow~"

Seeing Yue Liyue live broadcasting on his mobile phone, Dundun called into the camera as a greeting.

Just as Yue Liyue was about to respond, a woman's voice sounded from behind:

"Wow, what a cute cat. Can you give me a cat as a gift when you buy a car?"

The manager in the exhibition hall quickly came over and said with a smile:

"This is the little star we invited, not a gift, sorry."

Before the auto show started, Li Shiqiang told these brands at the mobilization meeting that no matter whether they like cats or not, they must show enough respect for Dundun.

In fact, no one resisted.

In fact, as long as it helps sell the car, let alone a cat, even showing respect to a cockroach is fine.

The woman was a little disappointed and asked further:

"Isn't it okay to pay the full amount?"

"I'm sorry, he is our distinguished guest, no amount of money is allowed."

Dundun jumped out of the Ferrari and left the exhibition hall joltingly.

The woman didn’t want to give up and probably didn’t need money, so she said to her friend:

"Come on, let's see which showroom this cat belongs to. I'll buy whichever car it goes into. If you don't believe it, these car dealers won't give it away."

Dundun twisted her face and took a look, then ran to the Lamborghini showroom, jumped lightly, and got on the concept car worth hundreds of millions...

Then he turned his face and shouted, the meaning was very clear:

"Go away, my mother won't let me play with fools!"
