Hunter x Hunter: The Ubiquitous Dragon Life

"Maws? Can you eat swim bladders too?"

Men Qi glanced at Cellulu in surprise, fiddling with the slightly transparent and milky swim bladder with interest.

"How do I do this? The fish bladder has a gelatinous texture but is too thin and tough. Will it really taste good?"

"Indeed, it is not delicious to eat directly, so it needs to be processed."

Celluloid smiled and briefly explained the process.

"Scrape off the excess fat blood vessels and flesh and blood from the fish bladder, cut it open and tear off the inner and outer layers that are too tough, and then expose it to the sun for three to five days. Remember to wipe off the spilled fish oil in the middle, and it will eventually change. It turned into a slightly transparent yellow plastic-like maw."

Men Qi nodded, but still had some doubts.

"This is a common method of drying fish, but how do you eat the food in the end? It will become harder if you cook it directly. If it is steamed, it may become soft, but it will really taste good?"

"The general practice is not delicious, so the dried fish maw must be soaked first."

In the face of Men Qi, a professional chef, she didn't mind talking more carefully.

"Soak the fish maw first in water for a whole day. After taking it out the next day, it will be slightly softened. Then boil the fish maw with onion and ginger. After boiling, turn off the heat and put it in the pot to cool down naturally. Well, simmer for another night, and then take out the fish maw the next morning and soak it in ice water for a day, and then take it out the next day. At this time, the fish maw has been thoroughly soaked. It swells several times and turns into a white solid filled with soft elastic gums, which is now ready for cooking."

When Men Qi heard this, her eyes widened.

"It takes three days to prepare before cooking? It's unbelievable. If something that takes so much time and effort to make doesn't taste good, then it's really..."

Men Qi didn't know what to say, it was a bit like she had nothing to do after she was full? Otherwise, why does an ordinary swim bladder have to go through so many complicated processes to eat it? Could it be that this will completely change the taste and taste of the fish bladder?

"If it doesn't taste good, then I won't do it. We have a saying on our side that you never get tired of eating fine food, and it means that you should treat your food as finely as you like, like fish maw made through so many processes. After cooking, the taste is particularly soft and sticky, full of rich gums, and it can stick to the lips when you eat it. It is used to stew chicken soup. The taste is particularly delicious and smooth. If you add abalone and hen pork bones directly The slow-cooked abalone juice tastes absolutely amazing."

Cellulu's description was vivid and vivid, Men Qi could only feel that her saliva was constantly secreting, and looking at Cellulu's expression, it was also a look of nostalgia and greed.

Men Qi swallowed a few saliva before asking curiously.

"I really want to eat what you said, but the processing steps and cooking methods you mentioned are so detailed, you even gave this fish maw a refined alias - fish maw, you shouldn't have come up with it yourself, right? , and I've never heard the phrase "never tire of eating finesse and never tire of finesse", it seems that it is a cooking genre that I have never heard of?"

Cellulu doesn't know if there are dishes similar to Chinese food in Hunter World. It is estimated that there are, and it is impossible to be as comprehensive and complex as Huaxia, she laughed.

"It's my hometown dish, and our hometown is delicious, so I thought about how to make all the edible and inedible things into edible and delicious ones. However, this fish maw It is considered a very precious ingredient in our place, and it is listed as one of the eight treasures of seafood, and it is not something that ordinary people can afford to eat every day.”

"Oh, that's why you stopped me. It's just like what you said, it's a waste of money."

Men Qi asked with interest after realizing a smile.

"Eight Treasures of Seafood? Which Eight Treasures?"

Celluloid glanced at the shark and smiled.

"This shark can then collect another three flavors and eight treasures, namely shark fin, fish lip and fish bone, and the remaining four flavors are abalone, dried scallop, roe and sea cucumber."

Men Qi also looked at the shark and was a little surprised.

"Oh? Shark meat is not delicious. I thought I would get some meat to taste and throw it into the sea. I didn't expect that there are other valuable parts? Shark fin, fish bone and fish lips, I know from the name What part is it, but it's still an old question, will it taste good? Does it have to go through special processing steps?"

"That's right."

Cellulu excitedly shared with Men Qi the processing and production process and cooking methods of these three-flavored delicacies, and by the way, detailed the production methods of abalone, sea cucumber and dried scallops, which made Men Qi an eye-opener and amazed. Unfulfilled and full of regrets.

"I really want to try them all, but according to you, it takes at least a week for processing and foaming alone, and this show doesn't seem to be able to taste them."

"It's okay, after the maw and shark fins are made, we can make another time to cook and taste together."

Cellulu made the invitation with a smile, and at the same time did not forget to invite Kirby and Yuri. The two of them were completely stunned by the super-professional Men Qi and Cellulu, so they just stood by the side in amazement. forcing.

"Kirby and Yuri, and everyone from the show team can come together."

Men Qi's eyes suddenly lit up. "Yes, it doesn't have to be on the show, there will be time in the future."

Kirby also nodded happily, Yuri also couldn't hide his curiosity, and accepted the invitation with a smile.

"Okay, I'm also curious about the actual taste. It will definitely come."

Director Viktor rolled his eyes, and suddenly had a brilliant idea in his mind. If the ratings of this episode are hot and everyone pays attention to the follow-up of Hatsune's Eight Treasures of Seafood, they can do another special episode. Thinking of this , Victor is also full of smiles and full of anticipation, he is very enthusiastic and glad to say that he will definitely support.

After exchanging contact information, a group of talents continued to process various fish. Celluloid needed to make dry goods such as fish maw and shark fins, so it naturally took over the work. on the shelf.

However, Men Qi was very curious about the actual production steps, so she kept following along. Under the guidance of Cellulu, she quickly removed the dorsal fin, pectoral fin and caudal fin. , and removed the meat and skulls near the fish lips. The two of them chatted and laughed, and quickly cleaned up.

The two of them talked about cooking topics. The more they talked, the happier and more speculative they became. She was a food hunter, but she was limited by the way she cooked, and her thinking was always limited to finding more treasured ingredients, not discovering Different cooking methods of common ingredients and try to find more edible parts of common ingredients.

Cellulu's words really made her feel a bit stunned. She only felt that a vast world had been opened up in front of her. In just two hours, when the ship docked, Men Qi had already regarded Cellulu as her life confidant. It was too late to meet each other, and she firmly stated that from today, Celluloid will be her good friend!

Cellulu is also very happy to have more friends like Men Qi. The food from all over the world described by Men Qi also makes her mouth watering. After all, the world of foodies is the simplest and the happiest. Eating and cooking are an important pastime for her long and lonely life. , There are like-minded people, it is a hit and miss, and I can't wait for the two to start a food journey directly together.

"Let's go snorkeling, catch sea urchins, and also catch abalone and sea cucumbers. Let's find all the sea treasures today." Men Qi hurriedly got off the boat, and turned back to Chelulu and suggested cheerfully.

"Okay, okay, and jellyfish are delicious too..."

Celluloid nodded and proposed cheerfully, following her briskly.

The knight just stared at Cellulu as if he had completely forgotten them, and got off the boat on his own, feeling a little resentment in his heart.

"Celullu, you look so happy..."

Aren't they all heterosexual and inhumane? How did you get to Celulu and leave them all behind with Men Qi, a new friend? In the past two hours, Celluloid had completely ignored them! She has been chatting vigorously with Men Qi, and no matter what, she will pay attention to them from time to time.

"Hmm, knight, be generous~, don't act like a control freak who doesn't allow boyfriends to have their own social circle~"

Hisoka smiled and said casually, he was used to being free and didn't like his lover to restrain him. Naturally, in turn, he would not restrain the person he liked.

"She doesn't have many female friends, and we are not interested in this topic. Let her go. It's hard for her to be so relaxed and happy."

Chrollo took off his sunglasses, glanced at Cellulu who was still talking to Men Qi in high spirits, and at Feitan, who seemed to be unhappy with the boss, who was about to explode, and also spoke in a gentle tone.

These words made me feel unhappy that I was being left out by Cellulu, and I planned to go up to interrupt Cellulu and Men Qi's Feitan. Look at Cellulu, who is talking about it. Under a shady coconut tree, I sat in a daze. Of course, my eyes always revolved around celluloid.

Illumi knew that he had a strong desire to control, but as long as the situation was under his control, he didn't mind whether Cellullu was always paying attention to him, so he found a position where he could see Celluloid, and he was leisurely and contented. Continue to bask in the sun on the beach.

Victor, on the other hand, divided his troops into two groups. One group sent today's catch back to the resort so that the people in the villa could prepare first, while the other group continued to follow Hatsune and the others who were playing in the beach and shallow water.

Men Qi and Cellulu took action, and after snorkeling several times, Men Qi pryed off a lead bucket of oysters and caught a lot of sea urchins, a large squid, and two crabs.

"Look, I'll make seafood noodles with cuttlefish sauce for you later, don't look dark, the taste is fresh~"

Menqi excitedly showed Cellulu the squid that was still stretching and wriggling.

"I also caught sea cucumbers, jellyfish, and some small abalone."

Cellulu smiled and showed her achievements. She was holding a jellyfish in her left hand, a long black and yellow sea cucumber in her right hand, and dozens of small green-rimmed abalones in the plastic bucket.

"Sea cucumbers are really black intestines, and jellyfish are such stick-shaped jellyfish?"

Men Qi suddenly realized that the seafood that Cellulu mentioned had a different name, and she could only guess from the description. It was exactly what she thought, and she would know how to catch it next time.

The photography team who followed the shoot looked happy, and the variety of meals after that was more abundant, and they had a good time.

Cellulu and Menqi went ashore with their harvest. Yuri and Kirby were digging in the shallow water beach. They also dug up two lead buckets of various shellfish, basically clams and scallops. and mussels.

At this time, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and the group went back to the resort in a lively way.

The villa's large kitchen is already stocked with a dazzling array of ingredients, and the resort's staff are also gearing up to cook their local delicacies.

A huge salmon was coated with various spices and lemons, wrapped in tinfoil and baked in the oven. The time was calculated accurately, and it was baked until the inside was tender and fully cooked. Then it was served on a large plate and waited. Break the tinfoil at dinner.

The other salmon was sprinkled with a large amount of salt, then mixed with the local special secret spice bag, poured with spirits, marinated for an hour, and then hung far from the burning wood and smoked slowly. Then, after half-cooked, it is a cold pot of smoked salmon.

All other fish of various colors are cut into large pieces of fish meat. First sauté onion, garlic, thyme, leeks and other fragrant vegetables in olive oil, then add tomatoes, chili powder, orange peel, etc. to adjust the bottom taste, then Add fish cubes, throw in a few prawns, a few mussels to add variety, pour in white wine and water and bring to a simmer.

Cellulo looked at it for a while, and found that it was a bit like the way of Marseille fish soup, except that the spices were slightly changed, and the stewing time was a little longer. It is necessary to filter the contents and only drink the soup.

Cellulu stopped watching the local dishes of the villa at this time, because Men Qi also started her own cooking show. She first took a lobster, and cut out the shell and cut out the whole meat, and chopped it evenly. The ping-pong ball-sized piece was cut out with finely chopped flower knives. After making the lobster ball into a chrysanthemum shape, it was cut into the center with a knife. After opening a small hole, a piece was inserted that would melt into a liquid after heating. Cheese.

Then, dip the lobster **** with salt, black pepper and Menqi's own secret recipe seasoning, add a little white wine to marinate, roll two rolls in the milk powder, dip them in egg liquid, and finally roll them with bread crumbs. Ordered a lobster ball waiting to be fried.

Cellulu looked at it for a while and asked with a smile. "Milk Flavored Cheese Shrimp Balls?"

"Milk Flavored Cheese Shrimp Balls? The name is very accurate, and I just thought of this method." Men Qi accepted the name with a smile.

The dish was ready, and she started to make seafood noodles with cuttlefish sauce. Although Men Qi also said that this was a new dish she came up with, Celluloid, who has traveled too many worlds, naturally knows similar dishes, so the process and steps It's not too different from what she expected, although the taste will definitely look good after that.

On the other hand, Cellulu was a little surprised by how the tuna was made. Men Qi actually thought of a way to bake a meringue like Wellington steak.

"The tuna meat is very old after being cooked, so it is very important to master the tenderness. I wrapped the meringue on the outside of the fish steak. The principle is actually the same as the baking in tinfoil, but I think the taste is more novel and delicious, crispy. Mushroom sauce and bacon are paired between the skin and the fish fillet for a richer taste.”

Menki explained his concept while quickly chopping onions and mushrooms and sautéing soft vegetables with butter in a hot pan.

"Well, it looks super delicious. I really wish you could make it soon, so I can eat it." Cellulu said with a smile.

"Hey, after I finish the semi-finished product and put it in the oven to bake, I will also visit you to cook." Menqi neatly arranged the puff pastry, full of anticipation, and said to Celluloid.

"No problem." Cellulu smiled generously.

Yuri is also very good at looking at the situation. Obviously, the focus this time is on Men Qi and Hatsune who is also very good at cooking. He doesn't want to steal the limelight, but he can't live without the camera. Naturally, he has to show his hands at this time. Leave it to Hatsune Miku, so, he interjected with a smile.

"Both of you are master chefs, so I can't do it. I can't do anything too complicated, so let's make it simple. It just so happens that there is a baguette here. I'll make a matching dipping sauce."

The camera immediately focused on Yuri, and Cellulo looked over curiously, and saw that he first picked a few shrimps, peeled off the shells and deveined them, cut them into small pieces, then heated a pan, poured in olive oil, and quickly Stir fry, spray a little white wine to get rid of the fishy smell, sprinkle a little salt and black pepper to enhance the flavor, and after seeing the color of the shrimp turn red, he turned off the heat and put it aside for later use.

Then, Yuri took out another glassware, put the avocado cut into strips, squeezed a little lemon juice, and started stirring and crushing with a spoon. After the avocado became a dense jam, he put it again. After adding chopped cucumbers, microwave-heated chopped walnuts, and the shrimp just now, added a small dollop of cream cheese, squeezed a little mayonnaise, and sprinkled a little salt and black pepper to taste, he Vigorous stirring started again, and the dish wasn't done until all the ingredients had turned into a smooth sauce.

Yuri carefully put the avocado and shrimp dipping sauce into a deep white square porcelain bowl, placed it on a wooden tray, and matched the freshly cut baguette next to it. It looked really petty and not good looking. Low, Yuri wiped a sweat in relief and smiled.

"finished."

"Yuri, you said you can't cook, so you're not very good at cooking."

Kirby looked at the small, fresh and artistic finished product, and shouted with a disrespectful expression, and he slumped his shoulders in frustration.

"It's not like me, I only mix salads."

"Salad is not bad, just a refreshing appetizer." Cellulu encouraged Kirby with a smile.

"Really? Then I'll make a salad. Don't dislike me."

Kirby's eyes lit up, and after Kanmen Qi and Yuri also affirmed his idea, he started making his own salad with great interest.

In the kitchen there are dishes that are commonly used for salads. Kabi took rocket, lettuce, baby spinach leaves and endives, rhubarb leaves, and cut a little shredded purple cabbage, small tomatoes and red radish slices, beetroot, and roasted a piece. Yellow sweet peppers, cut into small pieces and thrown in.

Looking left and right, it seemed that it was all vegetarian, and the taste seemed monotonous. Kirby ran to scrape some tuna meat and came back. After cooking it with salt, he made the tuna loose and placed it on the vegetable pile. Then, Sprinkled with olive oil, two or three drops of lemon juice, a little red wine vinegar, mustard sauce, salt and black pepper to taste, the final product is colorful, but it is also bright and appetizing.

"Hey, how's it going?"

Kirby also seemed to be quite satisfied with his work, holding the salad bowl as if offering a treasure, and looked at Celluloid, Menki and Yuri with bright eyes.

"Isn't this a very good job." Yuri was the first to laugh.

"Well, I don't know the taste yet, but the appearance can really give a full score. The color matching is very good, and Kirby is very talented~" Cellulu commented with a smile.

"Although the appearance is so-so, the most important thing is the taste. You will know after you taste it."

The same meaning, just changing the order before and after, immediately felt Men Qi's picky and seriousness as a professional chef.

Then, at last, only Cellulu was left who hadn't shown her cooking skills. Cellulo was not cowardly, and started her own cooking generously.

Looking at the five Chrollo who were watching with a smile, Cellulu estimated the amount of dishes to be made, took a deep breath, her eyes narrowed, she quickly grabbed a lobster, and began to quickly and accurately. Cut, peeled, and slashed with a sharp and bright blade, turning the lobster slices into slices of white and slightly transparent lobster sashimi.

Celluloid found a wooden tray, placed clean ice cubes under it, placed the shrimp heads and tails as they were, and placed lobster sashimi in the middle. Then, cut a piece of salmon meat, which was also sliced ​​into sashimi and placed in a A rose flower shape, carefully decorated next to the lobster sashimi, then a slightly pink snapper sashimi, a milky white scallop sashimi, and a yellow sea urchin sashimi, all placed around the lobster sashimi.

Next is the highlight of the sashimi, the luxurious feast of tuna. It would be too fatty to make sashimi directly, so Cellulo still plans to make it into sushi.

During the time of cooking the rice, Celluloid has finished decomposing and taking out the large fat, medium fat and naked parts, and put them aside for later use.

In fact, after tuna is caught, it takes two or three days to deacidify and mature for a longer time, and then the meat quality will reach the best. However, celluloid cheats with water, which directly eliminates the post-mortem stiffness reaction caused by the struggle and resistance of tuna. As for aging, temperature and humidity can also achieve a similar adjustment effect, although it is definitely not as good as natural aging, but it can barely meet the standard.

After washing her hands, Celluloid put the rice in a wooden basin and let it cool, poured in salt, sugar, and vinegar. After stirring and mixing evenly, she took an electric fan to blow it, and then she began to prepare the next dish. Now, if it weren't for some species of sea fish that are too suitable for sashimi, tuna sushi is really the most suitable way to eat tuna, otherwise, she would not consider making sashimi and sushi.

Men Qi looked at the semi-finished lobster boat, but she didn't ask any questions. It was all raw fish, so she naturally wouldn't think it was edible.

Next, all Cellulu planned to cook was Chinese cuisine, and her speed was much faster.

The steamer can cook three dishes at once. Cellulu directly made steamed scallops with vermicelli and garlic, steamed baby abalone with green edges and green onion, steamed Yushui Dongxingban, and chopped salmon heads to make a salmon head with chopped peppers, but Chopped peppers are still made by cheating with water. Celluloid temporarily cut peppers, garlic and ginger, and added high spirits to speed up the fermentation process.

Black loach is a bit like black fish, so Cellulo made a black loach tofu fish soup.

The oysters were taken out and made a fried oyster with salt and pepper and a fried oyster with leeks.

For fish, pick up the tender meat. Cellulu used sea bass to make squirrel fish with tomato sauce flavor, silver sea bass to make wine-stuffed round fish, Shi Jiugong made Wanzhou spicy grilled fish, and sliced ​​blue-spotted fish. A local vegetable similar to sauerkraut was used to make pickled fish with green peppercorns.

The blue mackerel has a thick taste, steamed and scraped off the meat, and fried a crab with vinegar, **** paste and eggs, the taste can be quite fake, and the aconite is made with bean paste and tempeh. , catfish made a garlic catfish pot with a heavy taste.

No matter how you cook seafood, it’s basically a quick dish, so it didn’t take much time. Cellulu had already rectified a set of dishes. During this period, Men Qi didn’t interrupt Cellulo’s steps or ask questions. Instead, he looked at it carefully, and from time to time there were expressions and eyes of surprise, surprise, and surprise.

At this time, the rice had cooled down, and Celluloid turned back and cut the big fat, medium fat and naked body, and started making sushi. With a light grip and a squeeze, a sushi was formed.

With quick hands and feet, after pinching dozens of sushi and placing them on the lobster boat, Cellulo finally arranged the shape, took wasabi, ground it into mud, and placed it on the boat, and the lobster sashimi boat was completed.

"Okay." Cellulu straightened up and smiled.

"Okay? But this... isn't this still alive?"

After Men Qi cried out in surprise, she raised her cheeks and pondered.

"But it's a bold way to eat raw. I never thought that fish can be eaten raw, but, yes, oysters can be eaten raw, why can't fish..."

Men Qi is caught in a new round of thinking storm. As a food hunter, she naturally has the courage to accept new things.

Yuri and Kirby looked at the sashimi boat with some resistance on their faces.

"Can't you eat something raw and have diarrhea?" Yuri smiled reluctantly.

"Yeah, and it won't be very fishy? Raw fish must have a sticky and slippery taste, and it feels disgusting."

Kirby's face was a little green and he imagined for a while, and suddenly he trembled with fear.

Celluloid understands the resistance of people who eat sashimi and sushi for the first time, so she explained it with a smile.

"No, sea fish is actually very clean, and there are few parasites. Wasabi can sterilize. As for the taste, some fish are fresh and refreshing, some are plump and smooth, and some melt in your mouth. Anyway, you will know after you taste it."

Men Qi didn't want to think about it anymore. Her crispy tuna steak was ready. After taking it out of the oven, she placed it on a plate, and quickly fried the lobster, cheese, and shrimp balls, and then put the cuttlefish sauce prepared in the pot. Seafood noodles are also put into a large bowl.

Everyone's dishes were ready, and the staff of the villa brought the villa's own dishes and the dishes made by the four of them to a semi-outdoor glass restaurant in the resort.

A long table is filled with a dazzling array of food, and the aromas of various colors are like a chorus, exuding deadly attractive aromas one after another, tempting everyone's taste buds and stomach bags.

The film crew gave a close-up shot of each dish, and after several long shots and close-up shots, finally, the dinner could officially start.
