Chapter 85: Standing at the top
He returned home as if nothing had happened.
Chen Yun didn't pay attention to the drunk man who fell to the ground and fell asleep after being beaten by him.
It didn't matter whether the guy was hard or soft, whether he was convinced or not, he didn't care much.
Compared to him, Chen Yun was more concerned about the snake carcass he was going to use as food. It had become limp and its muscle fibers were broken in many places.
This made Chen Yun curl his lips involuntarily.
But the good thing is that the snake meat can still make him feel a little appetizing.
Simple morphological changes seemed to have no effect.
A few steps to the kitchen.
Looking at the silly dog Bai Jin who was following him, Chen Yun used his mind to control the dog toy to tease it out of the kitchen.
Immediately, he began to deal with the snakes he bought.
As soon as the lid of the vegetable basket was opened, the snakes that were still alive spit out snake bites and tried to get out of their heads. The lizards shrank and hid in the corner, but they were still alive.
Chen Yun covered it with spiritual perception that penetrated the world. As always, it could not penetrate into the living body, and as always, he did not feel the desire to eat.
After carefully sensing it for a while, I determined that I really couldn't feel the desire to eat.
Chen Yun decisively released his murderous intent.
His extremely high-intensity killing intent, when unleashed with all his strength, is enough to scare an adult silly, or even to death.
And to deal with small creatures such as snakes and lizards.
High-quality killing intent becomes the sharpest knife.
In just an instant, the raised necks of the snakes immediately fell down weakly, and the lizards crawling in the corner also died instantly.
The next moment.
The familiar faint appetite was born from the dead snake, but not from the dead lizard.
This phenomenon made Chen Yun understand something immediately.
first.
There is indeed something special in living creatures that blocks Chen Yun's mental power and various senses from sensing whether it is delicious or not.
When it dies, it no longer has this ability to isolate.
This inference can be made from the comparison of live snakes and snake meat from the snake butcher shop owner, and from what he observed after killing the snake himself.
Secondly.
Several types of snakes are currently available for purchase, all of which offer a touch of attraction. Obviously not only specific snakes can stimulate appetite, there is a high probability that more than 3,000 species of snakes under the name of all snakes can do it.
However, considering that we have only tried the several methods in front of us initially, we can only tentatively make this speculation.
You may consider trying more snake species in the future.
at last.
The wax-skin lizard, which is also a member of the reptile class Dipsora, is not attracted to Chen Yun.
If we make a less rigorous speculation, it is very likely that many other orders of reptiles in the class Diptera are also unattractive, and only the branch of the order Snakes is attractive.
The idea of going up the Snake branch and including the entire Reptiles in the diet has generally come to nothing.
Think for a long time.
Chen Yun cut off two pieces of meat from the dead lizard, preparing to further test whether it was edible.
One piece is simply boiled and cooked, while the other piece is left unprocessed.
Then, Chen Yun ate them separately with no expression on his face.
Before, he must have felt disgusted and dared not speak. After all, he once had to be persuaded by Shiraishi many times before he even dared to eat frogs.
But now.
It can only be said to be so easy.
Not to mention being disgusted, Chen Yun didn't even have any unnecessary expression.
The powerful sense of smell and taste are linked to quickly analyze the taste and smell of these two pieces of lizard meat.
Its texture is as firm as chicken, but perhaps because it is processed too simply, a faint fishy smell is mixed in.
Chen Yun could distinguish each of these flavors more clearly than before.
But he was still... not interested.
Whether it was raw or cooked lizard meat, it really couldn't give him a faint appetite like eating snake meat. He felt calm while eating it.
After thoroughly confirming this conclusion, Chen Yun threw the dead lizard casually into the trash can.
But looking at the kitchen trash can that had been empty for a long time, Chen Yun suddenly realized something.
Since I don’t need to eat, I haven’t produced kitchen waste for a long time.
Although such small details are not easy to be discovered in this era when each family is trying to do its own thing, it would still be a flaw if outsiders noticed it.
Thinking.
Chen Yun was a little lucky. Fortunately, he was about to regain the habit of eating and produce all kinds of kitchen waste normally.
The previous carelessness did not cause any problems. Not many people would pay attention to other people's lives for no reason.
Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to place the ten snake corpses on the chopping board.
With a kitchen knife, you can cut off the head, bleed, and remove the internal organs quickly and easily.
Although he has never handled snakes, he has seen others kill chickens and pigs in his hometown in Jiangnan Province.
Slaughtering an animal is nothing more than killing it with one move, then bleeding it and removing its internal organs. The principles are basically the same.
With Chen Yun's learning ability, he can naturally learn by himself without a teacher.
Except for the snake used to slap people, which was a bit difficult to handle, the rest of the snakes were handled quickly. He collected the drained blood into categories according to different snake species, and collected a total of one large bowl and four small bowls.
There were nine snake gallbladders left in the internal organs, and one was not wanted to keep, but because the internal organs of it had been broken into pieces when it was used to smoke people, and the inside of the body was a mess that was difficult to deal with at all.
The snake skin was also peeled off by Chen Yun and put aside.
The remaining snake meat was cut into sections according to different types and collected into one large plate and four small plates.
The whole process looks pleasing to the eye, as neat and tidy as a chef undressing a cow.
Obviously I have never done anything like slaughtering.
But he seemed to be as skilled and elegant as a veteran who had been slaughtering for more than ten years.
If the blade was slightly shaky, Chen Yun simply used his nails to sharpen it, and it didn't take long to handle all the snakes.
Chen Yun was cleaning a pot that had not been used for a long time in the kitchen, while using his mind to control the computer in the living room, looking up the cooking methods of snakes.
Stir-fry, braise, stir-fry, simmer soup...
There are many ways to cook it, and the common cooking methods can basically be used on snake meat.
Think for a moment.
Chen Yun chose three methods: boiling, slicing, and dry-stirring.
Because although many doubts have been verified, there are still some that have not been solved.
Is there a difference between raw and cooked snake meat? Are there differences in the taste of different types of snake meat? Are there differences between different parts of the snake's body?
With an attitude of exploring to the end, Chen Yun started the controlled experiment seriously.
Of course, this is an experiment.
It's actually more like cooking a snake feast.
He was like a chef waving his utensils in the kitchen.
Five different types of snake meat were cooked in three ways: boiled, sliced raw, and stir-fried. Fifteen plates were piled on the dining table in the living room.
Do it all.
Chen Yun sat solemnly at the dining table.
Although my mental perception was already rough, I could faintly notice the difference after these dishes were made.
But Chen Yun still wanted to taste it for himself.
Chen Yun prepared a glass of water to clean up the odor. Chen Yun took one or two bites of each dish, then drank water to rinse his mouth, and then moved on to taste the next dish.
Until all the snake meat is tasted.
Chen Yun closed his eyes and pondered for a moment.
Then he came to the memory palace, found the book recording the changes in his own data deep in his memory, and started today's record in advance.
[Twenty-fourth record: 2024.3.22 (the 13th day of the second lunar month)]
【1. Change to a new exercise method, the muscles of the whole body will tremble spontaneously at high frequency, which is a dual exercise for the mind and body. The current persistence time is: 16 seconds. 】
【2. Add a new exercise item - telepathy code words, all future code words will be replaced by telekinesis. 】
[3. Snake meat related information - [1] Live snakes cannot stimulate appetite. [2] It can be eaten whether raw or cooked. It is more likely to be cooked, and the taste will be slightly improved after being deeply processed. [3] Preliminary judgment shows that all types of snakes are edible, and we prefer black snakes with good taste and price. [4] There is no difference between different parts of the snake's body, and snake meat that is more convenient to handle is tended to be chosen. [5] Reptiles of the order Diptreme, the order Lizards, are unable to arouse appetite, so it is presumed that the diet cannot be expanded beyond the order Snakes. 】
Cooked snake meat is more delicious than raw snake meat. There are subtle differences in taste between various snakes, but there is no difference in taste between different parts of the snake body...
Other than that, the dry-stirred version tastes a little better than the boiled version, but not much more.
Although he was not interested in the extra seasonings, in his mouth, the seasonings and snake meat should have been difficult to fully integrate, but they were clearly distinguished by his powerful perception.
But maybe there is snake meat as the main ingredient that can create appeal, and the presence of seasonings adds some different feelings.
Therefore, it is not only good to cook it well, but you can also try to do some deep processing occasionally.
Thinking.
Some of Chen Yun's last doubts were basically solved.
He looked at the pile of snake meat on the dining table and thought about some related plans.
Taking into account the comprehensive cost-effectiveness of price and taste, black snake is the most suitable. I can purchase it from that snake meat dealer for a long time in the future.
In addition, I also need to learn some Cantonese cooking techniques, and occasionally try various snake meat cooking techniques.
This is not difficult for him, or it can be said to be extremely simple.
In terms of basic skills such as fire control, knife skills, and ingredient memory, he can instantly reach a level that is difficult for all top chefs to achieve.
Although you can't make the dishes glow inexplicably or burst your clothes after eating them.
But Chen Yun, whose perception, memory, control, etc. are far beyond ordinary people, can easily become a world-class top chef who only cooks snake meat.
in this regard.
No one can match him.
Just as he easily surpassed Shiraishi in gambling skills and surpassed professional athletes in dart throwing.
Him now.
What he is best at is to easily stand at the top in a field that others are proficient in in a little time, and then crush all climbers without any suspense.
He didn't deliberately crush it.
However, it is only a matter of climbing a mountain in an instant that others cannot climb in a lifetime.
to others.
It was already a great despair.
The real despair is when the ant looks up and finds that he has been mercilessly run over by a pair of big feet, and the owner of those big feet doesn't even know that he has stepped on the ant.
