Chapter 20 Chef Su? Teacher Su!

Su Yuan returned to the shore and immediately began to process the fish.

It was easy to deal with those more than ten sea fish.

After scraping the scales and removing the dirt, you can roast or boil it.

It's mainly the shark that needs to be handled carefully.

Otherwise, no matter how you cook it, it would be like eating fish soaked in a pool of urine.

In this regard, the audience is also curious about how Su Yuan will deal with it.

"Ah? Su Yuan really wants to eat this shark?"

"Isn't it said that sharks use their skin to pee, and their meat smells very strongly of urine?"

"You're trying to survive, but you're still picky about food? Shark meat is also meat!"

"As long as it is properly processed, it is still edible. The reason why shark meat is not popular is mainly because it doesn't taste that good!"

“I would really like to see Su Yuan eat it raw!”

"God damn it, what's the difference between eating raw and drinking urine?"

on the screen.

Su Yuan first processed the other sea fish, and slowly roasted most of them over the charcoal fire, leaving only two to make fish soup in the evening.

After thinking for a moment, he filled a large bucket with fresh water and soaked the curled-up shark in it.

Then he took an engineering shovel and a bag, brought the live broadcast equipment, and went into the jungle.

studio.

The host said: "What is Su Yuan going to do?"

"It's not clear what he's doing in the jungle, but..."

Zhu Wei said:
"From his action of soaking the shark in water, we can know that he must have some knowledge of how to process shark meat. Soaking is very helpful in reducing the smell of urine!"

As the picture shakes.

Su Yuan walked quickly in the jungle until he was very deep, then he slowed down, staring at the ground, and occasionally looking up, as if searching for something.

Not long after.

A patch of herbs appeared in front of him, and Su Yuan immediately stepped forward to pick a handful and put them into the bag.

Then continue searching and moving forward.

Zhang Zhan, who had been silent in the studio, immediately said:

"I think Chef Su is going to be online again!"

"Look, after picking mint, he also picked some Litsea cubeba. These are all natural 'seasoning plants'!"

"Mint is good, but Litsea cubeba is a good thing. Its oil can be used as seasoning to remove the fishy smell and enhance the flavor. The fresh fruit can even be made into a dish and eaten directly!"

Hearing this, Zhu Wei shook his head:
“I think this is not necessary!”

"The most important thing for survival in the wild is to conserve your energy and make sure you have enough food and fresh water!"

"As for whether the food tastes good or not, we can really put that aside for now."

"Besides, no matter how you handle or cook shark meat, it's almost impossible to completely get rid of the urine smell!"

"Su Yuan put in so much effort just to make shark meat taste better. Actually, from the perspective of survival, this is not very rational!"

Zhang Zhan curled his lips slightly.

Survival? Still sane?
Su Yuan has already survived completely, so why don't you allow others to pursue a little bit of 'quality of life'?
Who says that in order to survive you have to endure bad food?

This can be said to the female contestants, after all, they have not even solved the problem of food and clothing.

What do you say to Su Yuan, a guy who is so fierce that he can fight sharks with his bare hands?
I think you are sick!
The host then laughed and said:
"No matter what, Su Yuan's attitude of remaining optimistic and pursuing life despite being in a harsh environment is still very worthy of recognition!"

“Hey, is that a wild pepper?”

"Congratulations to Su Yuan, you have obtained another very good auxiliary ingredient!"

Su Yuan ran to the three low plants with a look of surprise on his face, squatted down, and carefully picked the small red and green peppers on them.

Not to mention anything else, this chili alone is enough to make tonight’s meal very satisfying!
After harvesting more than thirty wild peppers that were about the size of a little finger, Su Yuan turned and walked in another direction, finally digging up a cassava and picking some guavas.

With this, we returned with great success.

When we returned to the shelter, the sun had already set significantly and it was around four in the afternoon.

Su Yuan first took out the shark meat, removed the head, guts, and cut it into pieces, then threw it back into the bucket to soak.

Then I crushed some Litsea cubeba and threw it into the bucket. Litsea cubeba is rich in acidic substances such as citric acid, which helps to speed up the removal of urea and decomposed ammonia odors, further reducing the urine smell of shark meat.

Afterwards, Su Yuan brought back a lot of sea water using various containers, such as bottles, small basins, etc.

This has left many people confused and puzzled.

"What is Su Yuan doing? Doesn't he have a dew collector? He should have obtained a lot of fresh water overnight, right?"

"He used up all the fresh water for soaking shark meat, so he wants to distill fresh water from seawater?"

"It seems like Su Yuan himself is looking forward to it. Is this guy going to play tricks again?"

"He started to burn the sea water, and I thought of something!"

"Fuck! Could it be that Su Yuan wants to cook salt?"

"Isn't it possible to eat the salt boiled from seawater directly?"

"How could Su Yuan not know? Since he has done it, he will definitely purify it!"

"Forgive me for my lack of education, but I don't have any tools around me. How can he purify it?"

"My hometown is by the sea, and my ancestors have been making salt for generations, but the problem is that we all dry the salt in the sun, and it will take at least ten days or half a month to make it!"

In the studio.

The host and the two guests were also very surprised.

Finally, Zhang Zhan said:
“Even we know that salt boiled from seawater cannot be eaten, Su Yuan must know it too!”

"Now it all depends on how he can purify the crude salt into edible salt!"

Since we deliberately found a relatively calm beach, the water is not too turbid.

Therefore, Su Yuan did not filter it and just boiled it directly.

Yes, he was indeed going to boil sea salt.

Although marine fish is delicious, seafood is sweet and salty, and shark meat is not too bad if it is handled properly.

But food without salt always feels like it’s missing some soul.

Especially the grilled fish and the fish soup that will be prepared in the evening.

If you don't add salt, it will become bland and tasteless if you eat too much.

Therefore, salt is a must.

This also helps maintain the body's healthy state.

As time goes by.

The sea water in the tin can continued to boil, and scale and some crystals began to appear.

Su Yuan was always paying attention to the changes in the status.

After a while, when the scale inside no longer increased significantly and the rate of crystallization began to accelerate significantly, Su Yuan immediately took the tin can off the charcoal fire.

After it has cooled slightly, start filtering.

At this time, Su Yuan seemed to be talking to himself, but more like a teacher, he said:

"When boiling seawater, the scale no longer increases and crystals precipitate, and the first step is completed."

"If you filter out the scale while it's still hot, you can get clean brine."

"Then heat it again until the water is almost boiled away."

"But please note, it's almost, not absolutely!"

"Finally, you must keep a little bit of brine, pour it out directly, and then wait for the wet crystals to be dried, and you will get the preliminary coarse salt."

"At this point, most of the impurities in the crude salt have been removed, and the only thing left is the most annoying magnesium chloride."

"Although magnesium chloride tastes salty, too much of it will make it bitter and harmful to the human body, so don't eat too much!"

"To be on the safe side, further purification is required."

"This is when we need to use our high school chemistry knowledge. I wonder if anyone in front of the screen still remembers how to do it?"

As soon as these words came out.

The barrage is full of question marks.

No, everyone is waiting for you to cook them into shark meat.

How did you get into chemistry here?
