MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 231 puffer fish

  Chapter 231 Puffer fish

   After finishing a meal, Li Yi was very satisfied.

  Although Zhao Jinmai thinks that there is a gap between the crab roe soup dumpling and his Qiankun egg.

  But the crab roe he used is not affordable by ordinary stores, and the products produced by this tea house are already very good.

  The only thing that dissatisfied him was that the Gaoyou double-yellow salted duck eggs served in the store were cut open.

   How can you cut salted duck eggs?

   Isn’t the soul of salted duck eggs the duck egg butter that comes out after the big head is knocked open and then pierced in with chopsticks?

  After cutting it open, the oil will flow everywhere, and the soul will be gone!

  But even though there is no soul, the taste of salted duck eggs is still good.

   Relying on a piece of salted duck egg, Li Yi finished the rest of the porridge.

   When ordering food, both Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai felt that they ordered too much.

  But in the end, everything on the table was eaten up, and there was nothing left.

  Even after eating, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai still felt a little unsatisfied.

  Zhao Jinmai patted his stomach and said with a smile: "Why do you feel that you have eaten so many different things, but you are still not full?"

   "Actually, there are not many. The breakfast here is more exquisite. It's a water town in the south!"

  Liu Yifei said something with a smile, then looked at Li Yi, and asked, "Where shall we go next?"

   "Yangzhong."

  Li Yi said the destination.

   "Where is Yangzhong?"

  Zhao Jinmai is still not very familiar with southern cities.

   "It's not far, just go east along the Yangtze River, and it's only a few tens of kilometers away, just south of Taizhou."

  Li Yi explained casually.

   "Taizhou?"

  Zhao Jinmai remembered what Li Yi said last night, suddenly realized, and asked, "Are we going to buy geese?"

   "No, of course I went to Yangzhong to buy puffer fish."

  Li Yi smiled and explained that in the [Beauty Feast] he was going to make, one of the main ingredients of the dish was puffer fish.

   "Blowfish?"

  Both Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei's eyes widened in surprise.

   "Is it the poisonous blowfish?"

  Zhao Jinmai couldn't help asking.

   "Of course, otherwise is it still a dolphin?"

  Li Yi laughed and joked.

   "You want to cook with fugu?"

  Liu Yifei was very surprised when she heard Li Yi's words: "Is it a little dangerous?"

  The most important thing for a restaurant is food safety. If there is something wrong with eating, it will be a disaster.

   And the Chinese restaurant is a variety show for audiences all over the country. If something goes wrong, they will be fine. As the chef, Li Yi will really be doomed.

  But Li Yi said with a relaxed smile: "It's okay, all the puffer fish that are farmed now are not poisonous."

  What he didn't say was that even if it was poisonous, he wouldn't care.

  In the dream space, he has even done wild poisonous puffer fish many times, and he is already familiar with how to deal with puffer fish.

  Seeing his relaxed expression, Liu Yifei gradually felt relieved.

  She knew Li Yi quite well. Li Yi never did anything he wasn't sure about. If he said it was fine, then he should be sure.

  Zhao Jinmai had a big heart, and when he heard Li Yi say that there was no poison, he immediately felt relieved.

   "Technology is really advanced! The puffer fish can be improved into a non-toxic puffer fish."

  She admired, and then asked curiously: "Is the puffer fish in Yangzhong famous?"

   "It's not bad. Yangzhong has held the Fugu Festival these years, and it's still quite famous."

  Li Yi smiled and explained: "Puffer fish is one of the three delicacies of the Yangtze River. Along the river in Jiangsu Province, many places have the habit of eating blowfish.

  From Nantong and Zhangjiagang near the sea in the east to Yangzhou and Yangzhong in the west, eating fugu is very common.

  Yangzhou also has places to eat fugu, but it is not as large-scale as in Yangzhong, so if you want to purchase sources, it is better to go there. "

   Hearing what he said, Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei were also interested, got into the car immediately, and went straight to Yangzhong.

  The straight-line distance between Yangzhou and Yangzhong is only about 30 kilometers, but because it needs to cross the river and run at high speed, it has to take a detour of more than 30 kilometers.

  However, the scenery along the Jiangnan water town is charming, and sitting in the car is not boring.

In the car, Zhao Jinmai was very curious about fugu: "Who was the first person to eat fugu? I guess it would take a lot of people to die to discover the correct way to do it. Otherwise, there would be no such thing as desperately eating fugu. "

   "There should be quite a few, but before the Ming Dynasty, people in the south of the Yangtze River had already mastered the method of eating puffer fish."

  Li Yi explained: "The "Compendium of Materia Medica" recorded information about puffer fish, saying that although it tastes delicious, it is illegal to repair and cure, and it kills people when eaten.

  Wu people say that its blood is poisonous, its seeds make the abdomen bloated, and the eyes are blinded.

  It has been clearly recorded here that the fugu has toxins. "

  Liu Yifei listened nervously: "The fugu poison seems to be a neurotoxin, and high temperature can't destroy it."

   "Exactly."

  Li Yi said sternly: "Pufferfish poison will not be destroyed if it is continuously boiled at a high temperature of 100 degrees for eight hours, and its toxins will not be destroyed if it is pickled in salt, exposed to wind and sun, or dried.

   There was a case in a legal program before. An old couple died after eating some salted fish for no reason.

  After the final investigation, it was discovered that the fish were mixed with the blood of the puffer fish during processing, and were infected with puffer fish poison.

  Although it was made into salted fish after being exposed to wind and sun, the toxin was not removed, so the old couple was poisoned to death. "

   "Oh my god! It's scary!"

  Zhao Jinmai shuddered when he heard it, and was a little scared: "So, it is still dangerous to eat puffer fish? Who knows if there will be some poisonous ones mixed in?"

   "Don't worry about that."

  Li Yi was relieved: "The puffer fish I ate before were all wild puffer fish, which are highly toxic. Researchers have already studied it, mainly because puffer fish will swallow some creatures that contain tetrodotoxin.

  Wild pufferfish will gather these toxins in the body, and then form a symbiotic relationship with wild pufferfish, becoming a means for pufferfish to protect themselves and resist natural enemies.

  But today’s puffer fish are basically farmed puffer fish. Breeding puffer fish eat prepared feed, which does not contain fugu poison, so puffer fish can’t accumulate puffer fish poison in the body, and naturally there is no poison.

  However, even wild puffer fish can completely remove toxins.

  Wild tetrodotoxin is generally gathered in the ovaries, eyes, blood, gills, and internal organs, but not in the meat.

  So as long as you pay attention to the technique when handling it, do not damage the blood vessels and internal organs in its body, and only take the meat, you can avoid toxin pollution.

   Moreover, as long as it is a restaurant that eats fugu, the chef will taste the soup before serving all the fugu, just to ensure the safety of diners.

  If there is a problem, the chef will be the first to do it, so we can give you enough time for rescue. "

  Listening to Li Yi's relief, Zhao Jinmai was stunned: "What do you mean allowing enough time for rescue? Hearing what you say, I dare not eat it!"
