The Ying Fish attracts water. Water is Yin, so it should be killed at noon.
Su Yu pinched the squeaking Ying Fish, looked at the time, and looked at the National Tutor. "Uncle, you need to use internal strength to break the fish's wings. You see …" He didn't have any internal strength. The previous mackerel was cleaned by the National Tutor, so he was ready to give the Ying Fish to the National Tutor.
The Imperial Tutor casually placed the little fat cat on the rack where the dried fish were hung. He took out a half foot long jade box and handed it to Su Yu. "Bring this along."
The Emperor curiously came over and saw a pair of exquisitely carved silver wrist guards in the jade box. He slightly frowned.
Su Yu put down the Ying Fish and picked up the wrist guards to take a closer look.
The wristband was about four fingers wide and was engraved with complicated patterns. Looking at it carefully, it wasn't any kind of common pattern. It looked like densely packed small characters, regular and clear. It looked more like runes. The tip of the wrist guards was embedded with a pair of sea blue gems. He couldn't tell what kind they were, but they were dazzling under the sun. It was very beautiful.
"Why are you wearing this?" The Emperor stared at the National Tutor with dissatisfaction. How could his stupid slave wear something given by someone else?
The National Tutor picked up the fat cat, who was reaching for the fish, and rubbed it. He said casually, "This thing can store internal strength."
Su Yu blinked. Internal strength can be stored? Previously, when the Emperor held his wrist and transferred internal strength, he could let the internal strength flow through his veins and break the jade pendant. Is internal strength like electricity? Not only can it be instantly charged, but it can also be stored in a battery? This seems to be different from the internal strength he saw in Wuxia movies.
No wonder when the National Tutor said that Su Yu couldn't practice internal strength, he didn't worry at all. It turned out that there was such a treasure.
"In the future, Your Majesty, fill this wrist guard with internal strength every day. It can also expand your veins." The National Tutor took the wrist guard and put it in the Emperor's hand.
An Hong-chul's expression became slightly better. If all the internal energy here was his, then he could let the stupid slave wear it. Taking the wrist guard, he didn't waste any time and directly pinched the position of the two gems. Circulating his Qi in the palm of his hand, a strong internal energy continuously flowed into the gems.
This kind of wrist guard was usually worn when wearing clothes with narrow sleeves. Su Yu lowered her head and looked at the gorgeous brocade robe she was wearing. The corner of her mouth twitched. This robe was really not suitable for killing fish. She could only roll up the wide sleeves and tie a knot, fastening the wrist guard to the narrow sleeves inside.
Noon arrived. Su Yu knocked the fish unconscious with his knife and then tried to chop it with the knife. Clang! The knife seemed to have hit a steel plate. The fish fish was unharmed except for a few scales falling off. He obediently put down the fish knife and recited the Fish Killing Qi Cultivation Technique in his heart. He gathered his inner strength in his palm and sent it to the meridians in his fingers.
"Kacha!" The two wings were broken. Su Yu quickly picked up the scale-removing knife and removed the scales from the wings. Then he began to clean up the fish body.
According to the Knife Technique Chapter, the scales on the wings of the fish must be removed quickly after the wings are broken. Otherwise, when the fish's vitality dissipates, the feather-like scales will sink into the fish meat and cause countless fish bones to appear in the meat. It will be inedible.
After removing the scales, the wings of the fish looked very smooth, somewhat like the fins of a shark. Su Yu held it in his hand and looked at it. In his heart, he thought this was the real "shark's fin".
According to Su Yu's Cookbook, the most delicious part of the fish was its wings. "It can be marinated with a large amount of seasoning, roasted, or stir-fried. The taste is excellent, just like a squab." A fish can taste like a squab. With the mackerel as a precedent, Su Yu did not have the slightest doubt.
"Imperial Uncle, should we keep this fish for tonight as a sacrifice to the heavens?" Su Yu suddenly remembered that these strange fish were to be used as a sacrifice to the heavens. If he marinated them like this, he didn't know if it would affect the effect of the sacrifice.
As he was talking, two big tabby cats quietly ran in.
"How can we keep it for tonight? If we keep it for tonight, then … Ow! "His Royal Highness King Ling happened to hear this sentence and immediately shouted.
"Shut up!" Prince Su slapped his little brother's paw.
"You're hitting me again!" The big black and yellow cat couldn't take it anymore, and bit down on its brother's head.
Su Yu heard the cat's meow and turned around to see the two Imperial Uncles. He blinked and looked at the Emperor, asking with his eyes what they were talking about.
His Majesty glanced at the two Imperial Uncles who were huddled together and ready to fight again. He signaled Su Yu to ignore them.
"There's only one rule. There's no need to sacrifice it to the heavens. Just cook it and eat it." The National Tutor put the little fat cat down and walked towards the two big cats. The two big cats who were biting each other's heads felt a shadow above their heads. They slowly raised their heads and subconsciously took a step back.
The two noisy big cats were quickly cleared out of the warehouse by the National Tutor. His Majesty the Emperor walked to the fish-killing platform and leaned against Su Yu's back. He put his chin on his shoulder and watched him kill the fish.
A few days ago, the fish-killing platform was very simple and crude. Now, there were a lot of kitchen utensils, pots, bowls, ladles, basins, and a complete set of seasonings.
"Are you hungry?" Su Yu took a delicate knife and quickly removed the scales and gills. Seeing that there was no one around, he turned his head and rubbed his cheek against the Emperor's.
"How do we eat this?" The Emperor saw Su Yu cut off the thin fins at the edge of the fish's wings and put them aside. He only put the fleshy part of the fish into a bowl with seasonings. He curiously picked it up and looked at it.
"This can be used to make shark's fin shreds," Su Yu whispered to the Emperor, "Hide this. When we go back, I'll make shark's fin soup for you."
The fins at the edge of the wings were where the Ying Fish's fins were. According to Su Yu's recipe, the fins of the Ying Fish were similar to the fins of sharks, but the taste was more delicious. It was just that the Ying Fish was too small. The thin fins were only enough to make a bowl of soup. It was better to hide them and use them for their own sauce.
When the Emperor heard this, his Majesty the Emperor's dissatisfaction at the stupid slave making fish for his Imperial Uncle disappeared. He proudly licked Su Yu's lips.
Su Yu guiltily looked around. Seeing that his Imperial Uncles hadn't come back, he quickly returned a kiss.
His Royal Highness King Zhao, who was sitting on the rack of dried fish, silently turned around with the dried fish in his mouth. The cat was too small, so it was easy to be forgotten by his older brother.
The meat of the Ying Fish was hard, so it needed to be repeatedly hammered with a mallet before being fried. It was very chewy. The meat of the Ying Fish's wing was very tender. After being marinated, it was roasted over fire. The smell of the Ying Fish's skin was very fragrant. After being roasted, the skin of the Ying Fish became brown and crispy. The other wing was cut into small pieces by Su Yu. After being steamed, it was stir-fried in a wok with chili.
One fish was used to make three dishes. When it was brought to the second floor, the two big tabby cats couldn't wait to scurry under the table.
The lunch from the Imperial Kitchen had just arrived. The table was filled with food. Su Yu put the fish on the table and called the National Tutor and the Emperor to eat while it was still hot.
"Hurry and roll around!" His Highness Prince Su slapped his younger brother and signaled for the big black and yellow cat to go over and beg for food.
His Royal Highness King Ling's eyes widened, "Why do you want me to go?"
"Didn't you do a good job yesterday?" The big black and white cat shook its tail seriously. His Royal Highness King Zhao, who also didn't have a place to sit, walked over and sat with his Thirteenth Uncle.
"Why aren't you going?" Prince Ling argued with his older brother. He took the opportunity to lick the little fat cat's head. He smacked his lips and licked it again, "Hong Ting, did you secretly eat the sacrificial offerings?" There was the smell of dried fish on his head.
The little fat cat shrunk its head back, "I, I only ate one."
"If you do this kind of shameful thing now, when Consort Xian becomes the Empress in the future, she will laugh at ben wang," Prince Su also licked the little fat cat's head, "ben wang isn't that stupid."
Prince Ling and His Royal Highness King Zhao were both stunned. They looked resentfully at Prince Su.
