Fresh cypress branches are used for bacon, and the effect is similar to that of pine wood, but which one to choose depends on your personal preference.
When Shi Yu came back with a bundle of cypress branches, he saw that the master had already marinated the ingredients.
He also made fish.
"Just put things outside the house." Ye Yunfei had no pretentiousness. He finished his work, so he finally went outside the house to help build a bonfire pit with stones.
The frosty moonlight was particularly bright tonight, and the stones on the ground were shining. Shi Yu had never attacked anyone since he came to this world. Now, after running around the master, he felt like a greedy child, who had been following the elders' buttocks to show his attention.
"The barbecue rack has been set up!" Shi Yu said hello to the room and picked up the fat cat next to him. Although the guy looked resistant, she still rubbed his stomach a few times without hesitation, "This cat is so cute."
"Be careful, it will get tickled people with a big temper." Ye Yunfei also brought out the fish at this moment. While he was skewering fish with a barbecue fork, he talked about the origin of the cat. "When I was traveling, I saw that this guy was almost skinned and saved him. Unexpectedly, it was quite spiritual and followed me all the way. Little fish liar, I was almost poor by you." The last sentence was obviously said to the fat cat.
Shi Yu paused the cat's hand slightly, and her heart felt inexplicably sad.
On the verge of death, being gentle and being picked up from the hands of the evil people will no longer be frightened. Such kindness cannot be repaid, and can only sacrifice the loyalty of this life. Therefore, even if the person has passed away with the wind thousands of years later, there is still a cat working hard.
"It's great." Shi Yu pinched the cat's two flesh claws. The fat cat now definitely doesn't like to let her touch it. She can only take advantage of the opportunity now to rush a few more.
Ye Yunfei also reached out and rubbed the fat cat's head, "I've eaten so much for you, why don't I get fat?"
The fat cat took the opportunity to step on his hand, jumped onto his shoulder, turned his head and grinned at Shi Yu, and then shook his tail like a demonstration, and she was no longer absent.
"So cute!" Shi Yu was so cute by this guy. It turned out that the fat cat from his youth was so arrogant! As he said that, he stepped forward and hugged it in his arms.
The fat cat has no desire to be born.
Ye Yunfei knew that the girl had no resistance to this furry animal. He let the man and the cat make fun of each other, and he lit the fire and covered the fresh pine and cypress branches and started making smoked fish.
Smoked fish is actually a way to preserve ingredients, but it is also a delicious dish when it is made properly.
The hot high temperature does not reveal open flames due to fresh branches, but this does not hinder its heat release. Cypress branches have a natural fragrance, which is not particularly good if they are too rich, but if they are only lighter, they will be elegant and refreshing.
When the water drained fish on the barbecue grill encounters fire, the water on the skin evaporates rapidly, and the color changes from shallow to darker. A faint pine and cypress are reminded to attach to it.
Ye Yunfei was not in a hurry to smoke the fish, but patiently turned the fish over. The fish cut it from the belly with one knife, spread it apart, and the meat in the middle was thicker, while the two sides were thinner.
As the high temperature is grilled, it begins to harden and zoom along the edge of the fish meat, and the fat under the fish skin gradually melts. You can see the appearance of the fish skin starting to burn.
"You must not make this fast. The fish will cause firewood if the fire is too big. The fire is too small and the meat inside will not be roasted. You must be patient, otherwise the delicious food will be ruined."
"Um."
The smoked fish was smoked for half an hour. Fortunately, Ye Yunfei was more talkative. He did not make the atmosphere too dull because he had encountered some things from time to time.
After the fish was ready, he turned off the heat, took out a dagger and started cutting the meat.
Shi Yu looked at the Tai Shang Wangqing in his hand, and was glad that he had just used an ordinary dagger before.
"Try it." Put the cut pieces of fish in front of Shi Yu. Shi Yu smiled and thanked him, then twisted a piece and put it into his mouth.
The meat of the smoked fish was roasted very crisp by the fire. The moment they bite, Shi Yu heard a crisp sound. The seasonings on the crispy fish were also very ordinary, but they could make the fish taste less fresh.
When I chewed the second bite, I was surprised. The fish meat inside tasted tender and there was also delicious fish sauce burst out.
"This..." Shi Yu was surprised. Because the meat of fish is of special quality, it is difficult to have such an effect. Moreover, the water will be evaporated and dried during the smoked fish, so there should not be such an effect.
She looked at the master opposite with a burning look, "How did you do it?"
Ye Yunfei laughed, "It's simple, just treat this fish as a container and prevent the water from running away. The surface is crispy and the inside is tender, and the double taste will give people a sense of surprise."
"I was indeed surprised." Shi Yu praised.
"But this is not the biggest trick, the biggest trick is to sprinkle unevenly seasoning."
Hearing this, Shi Yu twisted a second piece of smoked fish and put it in his mouth. The fish meat in this piece was much lighter than before and it tasted better than it was.
"Uneven seasoning will make every bite of fish taste different. Who knows if the next bite will be a surprise?" Ye Yunfei smiled. He was very proud of this because he thought it out himself.
People don’t like unchanging things. Even if they are peerless delicacies, they will always get tired of them after eating too much. Maybe a dish is amazing when it’s just taken, but at the end of the meal, I feel that it’s just that.
The uneven seasoning will keep the dish surprised.
"So that's it." Shi Yu felt that she had learned it again, "Thank you senior for telling me this trick."
"It's your ability to learn it. Do you want to drink? I have good wine I brewed myself."
“You can still make wine?”
"Sometimes you need good wine to cook. Instead of begging others at that time, it is better to be self-sufficient." Ye Yunfei said.
"I think so too."
The master and apprentice actually thought of going together at this point.
The wine Ye Yunfei took out was not particularly strong. The two of them ate one jar of wine and one sip of meat, which was very comfortable.
I don’t know if the wine is too strong or the meat is too fragrant, which attracts an uninvited guest.
"Ye Yunfei, you are secretly drinking and eating meat, and you don't even call me!"
The only one who could touch it quietly like this was naturally the only one who was slutty little old man.
Shi Yu was about to greet him when he heard the master say, "Huanfusheng, if I remember correctly, the Huan Sect Master seems to be expressly prohibiting you from drinking."
"That's why I came quietly! Hurry up, what about the wine. Before my senior sister discovered it, how many sips can I drink."
