v7 Chapter 16: Pao Ding Jie fish

The golden eye bream is all red and has a pair of eye-catching big eyes, which looks extra festive and cute. Because of this endearing appearance and delicious taste, golden eye bream has also become a popular high-end ingredient on the table at festivals.

There are many ways to cook gilthead bream, if the ingredients are fresh enough. Making sashimi is definitely the best choice. However, this has quite strict requirements for the chef's knife skills. But for Rena, who grew up in a fishing village and shouldered the responsibility of taking care of her father, this is not particularly difficult.

The running water from the water pipe washed the wooden chopping board, and Rena picked up the golden eye bream and gently hung the fish scales with a knife. The scraped fish scales were carried away from the chopping board by the running water. After the fish scales were processed, the Rena River water flowed a little bigger, using the impact of the running water to wash away the remaining fish scales on the chopping board and on the golden-eyed sea bream.

After finishing the fish scales, Rena turned on the faucet a little bit smaller, and then, he used a clean towel to remove the remaining water on the chopping board and the fish.

Rena pressed the fish body with one hand, and then carefully opened the gill cover of the golden eye bream with a knife. Immediately afterwards, she carefully scratched the inside with a sharp knife a few times, and then the gills were successfully removed.

After Rena used the same method to treat the gills on the other side, she washed the remaining blood on the chopping board with water again. She used a knife to cut through the flesh attached to the fish's head. Then use the blade to press the joint of the fish bone, and gently tap the back of the knife with your hand, and the connection between the fish head and the fish body is cut off by the sharp knife.

Rena put the cleaned fish head aside and continued to handle the body of the golden eye bream. Rena gently cut open the center line of the fish's abdomen with a knife, and then took out the internal organs in her abdomen with her hands. Since there is no valuable roe in the offal. These internal organs also lose the value of being used again.

After cleaning up the blood in the fish's belly, Rena cut two more openings along the fish's back. In this way, the fishbone on the back can be subtly avoided, and at the same time, the most delicious fish meat of the golden eye bream can be preserved to the greatest extent.

Seeing Rena skillfully decompose this golden eye bream, Akimi, who has been standing outside the camera observing Rena's movements, can't help but feel a sense of admiration she has never had before. Akimi, who came from a wealthy background, is no stranger to the deliciousness of kinmeida. But she had never seen how to decompose a golden eye bream from a distance. Although it looked a little bloody, Rena's smooth movements gave her a sense of fluidity in her technique. This feeling made Akemi suddenly seem to have finally captured some inspiration for Mizushima Ikumi's performance. At this moment, she felt as if Ikumi herself was standing in front of her.

"It turns out that Director Mizukawa made this girl join the crew for this purpose?"

For a while, Mingmei suddenly understood the good intentions of Superintendent Mizukawa. Because of the living environment, Akimi has always had an insurmountable sense of alienation from Ikumi Mizushima, who she played. But now, the girl standing in front of her allows her to capture the feeling of the role of Mizushima Ikumi. This may be the intention of Supervisor Mizukawa. By adding a girl with a similar life experience to Ikumi to the crew, Akimi's performance can be more specific to imitate.

Rena deftly shaved off a large piece of fish from the bone. The fish bones that were separated from the flesh were cut off by Rena and then put aside again. So far, the only thing that needs to be dealt with is the two pieces of fish left behind. Rena cut off the fins and threw them into the pool, and then she cut off the bones on the belly of the fish. By this time, all the fish bones on both pieces of fish meat have been cleaned.

Rena turned on the water again to clean the chopping board and fish meat, as well as the fish head and fish bones that will be used later. After all the ingredients to be used were cleaned, Rena wiped the water off the two pieces of fish. Then move the fish to another clean chopping board.

Although these two pieces of fish will be made into sashimi. But because of the difference in taste, it needs to be processed again. Rena cut off the two pieces of fish near the back of the fish. Immediately afterwards, the firm-backed fish is cut into sashimi slices using the thick-cut knife method. The fish meat with the internal organs wrapped around the abdomen is more fatty, so sliced ​​into thin slices can best reflect the deliciousness of the golden eye bream.

Mingmei watched Rena skillfully cut the fish into thin sashimi, and then placed it on a chilled plate. The tight sashimi on the back and the plump sashimi on the belly are carefully separated. The fish head is placed at one end of the plate, and the plate is surrounded by lemons for serving.

"cut!"

Supervisor Mizukawa stood up from behind the monitor with satisfaction, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face. The filming process just now was done in one go. This is a feeling that Director Mizukawa has not experienced for a long time.

"Reina-chan, you did a good job!"

Kanako, who had been standing outside waiting for the filming to end, also hurried to Rena after the filming was over. This drama is the hard work of Kanako, and because of the problems in Akimi's performance, Kanako has encountered several times that she could not shoot and had to revise the script.

"Thank you, Sister Kanako!"

Reina wiped off the water stains on her hands, then changed the towel to the staff who came to clean up, and bowed to thank the other party before arriving at Kanako's side.

"Reina-chan, I didn't expect you to be so skilled at handling sea bream..."

"I was a little nervous at the beginning, but then I forgot that it was filming."

"Oh? No wonder Reina-chan's cooking skills are so good~lightnovelpub.net~ Do you often handle golden eye bream sashimi?"

"Of course it's not common to find such precious ingredients as golden eye bream, but mackerel is the most processed. But since it's sashimi, it's not so unfamiliar to handle..."

"Well, can I have a taste of these prepared sashimi?"

Just when Rena and Kanako were chatting, Akimi came to the two of them at some point, and then asked Reina cautiously.

"Of course you can, please give me some advice!"

Reina didn't expect Mingmei to come over to say hello, and she even felt flattered for a while. After greeting each other, Rena brought Kanako and Akemi to a table, and then brought the sashimi that was made just now on the table, and brought wasabi and soy sauce to the two of them.

"Please tell me truthfully how it tastes, even if it doesn't taste good..."

Reina said sincerely to the two of them.
