Chapter 68 Queen's Crisps
After the exciting adventure, Malu returned to the sofa in the rental house carrying a large bag of freshly harvested meat.
I have to say that the ingredients this time are a bit special.
Although the previous two-headed jackal, thousand-tooth sand bream, and lava monitor lizard were also very strange, they were basically within the category of animals.
This time, the Spiny-legged Whip Spider Queen feels closer to an insect, although strictly speaking, a spider is not an insect.
Because the natural world defines insects as having three parts: head, thorax and abdomen, six legs and a pair of wings.
The spider’s head and thorax are integrated into one body, and it has 8 legs, but no wings, so it is excluded from the class Insecta.
But in terms of taste, the two are actually quite close.
Ma Lu heard that there seems to be a tradition of eating spiders in Southeast Asia, and there are similar dishes in Yunnan.
The ethnic minorities there will deep-fry the spotted bride and the striped golden spider, and also grill the giant spider. It is said that the taste is not bad.
Moreover, spiders or insects have a high protein content. Because they are far away from mammals, the viruses they carry are difficult to infect each other. In fact, they are a very high-quality healthy food.
But most people still find it difficult to accept it psychologically.
So Malu first eliminated some dishes that seemed to have too strong a sensory impact.
Finally, pointing to one of the dishes called [Queen's Crisps], he said, "What is this?"
"If you're asking about the taste, it's probably somewhere between Guobao Pork. Between the chips.”
"Oh, that sounds very good, and the deliciousness index is also ★★☆. It is the same as the monitor lizard sausage. Can you make me one to try first?"
The ingredients required for Queen Crisps are not the same. Not much, and since I started setting up a stall, I have a lot more ingredients and condiments at home, so I have just what I need for the trial.
So Lao Wang put on his apron, took a piece of whip spider leg meat from Malu, and walked directly into the kitchen.
He first cut the whip spider leg meat into 3 cm thick slices and wrapped them in potato starch.
Ma Lu has lived with Lao Wang for so long, and has seen him handle a lot of ingredients. Although he has never cooked personally, he has gradually understood some basic cooking processes, and was curious when he saw this.
"Don't you need to remove the fishy smell from the meat this time?"
"No, compared to mammals, the meat of spiders and insects has almost no fishy smell."
Old Wang said as he spoke While picking up the rolling pin, he began to pound the flour-coated meat slices. He used both hands together and struck at a very fast speed. After about a minute, the meat slices became almost as big as the chopping board.
At the same time, its thickness has also become extremely thin, reaching about 1 mm, almost as thin as paper.
The starch molecules are beaten and embedded into the fibers of the spider meat, and the final ratio of powder to meat is fixed at 2:8.
Then Lao Wang cut the thin meatloaf into small pieces with a kitchen knife and started to heat the pan.
Pour soybean oil into it, wait until the oil temperature reaches 30%, then put the meat slices into the pot.
After a while, the skin of the meat slices showed a slight golden color, and Lao Wang quickly picked them up to control the oil.
Then I continued to fry it again on low heat. When it came out of the pan, the golden color on the surface of the meat became darker, and it looked very similar to potato chips.
Ma Lu took a piece and put it in his mouth. It was really crispy when he took a bite, and because it was made of meat, it tasted more delicious than potato chips.
Lao Wang is right. Spider meat has almost no fishy smell compared to previous animal meat, has a high protein content, and tastes like chewing egg yolk.
Ma Lu took a piece with the intention of trying it, but he couldn't stop eating it. Then Lao Wang chopped onions, tomatoes, green peppers and a small handful of coriander, stirred them together, poured lime juice on them, and added a small amount of salt to make a fresh dipping sauce. Pour it on the Queen Crisps and let the latter It tastes fresher and more refreshing.
Ma Lu took down a large plate in less than 3 minutes.
Then he wiped his mouth and said, still unfinished, "Let's do this, the portion can be smaller. This time the protein content is high, the price needs to be raised a little more, let's set it at... 18 a portion. Okay, I'm now Just go buy the ingredients.”
"Okay."
Ma Lu went to the farmer's market to purchase goods. Unexpectedly, he was recognized when he parked his car.
An old woman passed by him carrying two bundles of green onions and a bag of ribs. She suddenly stopped and pointed at him and said excitedly.
"It's you, young man, I know your sausage can breathe fire! I saw it on Douyin!"
"Uh..."
The aunt said and took out her mobile phone again, ready to scan the code, "Just in time, let me try your sausage too."
"Ah, sorry, if you have seen the video about us, you should know that you are responsible for cooking "It's another one," Ma Lu said, "And it's not our business hours now."
"What are you talking about? There are no business hours for roadside stalls. Just stop and you can do it." "Oh, I haven't had breakfast yet." The aunt refused.
“It’s really not possible, I don’t even have the raw materials now.” Ma Lu spread his hands.
“This is a farmer’s market, young man, just buy whatever you need.” The aunt said again, “In this case, you give me a discount, and I will also make a video and send it to you online to promote it. ”
"No, no, no, we have enough publicity now. In fact, I have begun to feel that it is a bit too much."
Ma Lu was not in Versailles, but inspired by his feelings.
In the Internet era, the spread speed of a hot spot is often exponential.
At first, Malu just wanted to open up the market with the special flame effect of the giant lizard sausage, so that the unruly juniors and juniors could continue to make money obediently.
It may be difficult for college students to accept that a sausage is sold for 16, but a sausage that can breathe fire, like a cat that can back flip, is given a special meaning beyond itself.
According to Shen Yue's incomplete statistics, since the sale of flame grilled sausages, Shehua Xiaoshi of the Ancient Poetry and Literature Society has received more than 80 orders of volcanic grilled sausages, half of which were even sent anonymously.
Xiao Shi wanted to quit but couldn't find anyone to quit. Even Shen Yue had a great time eating grilled sausages in the past week, and the hiccups were all like the smell of grilled sausages.
This is just the suffering of unrequited love. Those lovers who are passionately in love are even more resistant to such fancy and fashionable gadgets.
If you can’t go to the Greek Peninsula to see the Aegean Sea, why can’t you go to Ximen to buy volcanic sausage?
If you love her, just buy it! justbuyit!
As a result, the volcanic sausage became popular not only within the Hangzhou University of Science and Technology, but also quickly spread outside the campus.
The most popular video has exceeded 200,000 likes and 120,000 retweets. It has entered the local hot list, ranking behind "A man won 200 million by buying lottery tickets for 100,000" and "The Federal Reserve once again rate hike".
Then a local food blogger with 5 million fans came to visit the store, made a video, and posted it on several platforms.
The shooting and editing techniques of the team behind him are obviously more mature, and the arrangement is more interesting. They know how to capture the audience's attention to the maximum extent, plus the traffic that the big blogger himself brings, after the release The heat of the volcanic sausage was further enhanced.
Since then, Malu has never worried about soliciting customers, but at the same time, he has also begun to experience some of the side effects of becoming famous.
