  Chapter 233 Personal Handling

   Seeing the bulging puffer fish in Li Yi's hands, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai's eyes lit up.

   "Wow! So cute!"

  Li Yi smiled and handed the puffer fish to them, but none of them dared to touch it.

   "Is this wild or farmed?"

   Curiously, Liu Yifei tapped the belly of the puffer fish lightly with her fingers, and quickly took it back.

   "This kind is farmed."

  Li Yi pointed to the stripes on the back of the puffer fish, and explained: "There are more than 40 kinds of puffer fish that are commonly seen along the coast of China, but there are only two that have been lifted from the ban, one is the red-finned oriental dolphin, and the other is this dark-striped oriental dolphin.

  Both of these are artificially farmed species, but the redfin puffer is raised in seawater, and most of the breeding bases are in Dalian.

   In the Yangtze River Basin, pufferfish obscurus are raised in fresh water, and this is what locals eat most often. "

  The boss was also accompanying him. He was a little surprised when he heard Li Yi's words: "Eh? Are you quite knowledgeable? Are you a breeder?"

"no."

  Li Yi smiled and said, "Going together."

   "Oh, no wonder."

  The boss suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Ordinary cooks don't know so well about fugu, will you do it too?"

  Li Yi wanted to be polite, but Zhao Jinmai said with a smile: "Of course, my brother Yi's cooking skills are unrivaled in the world!"

   "No, no, we are all colleagues, let's talk about it."

  Li Yi explained a few words, and then gave Zhao Jinmai a helpless look.

   This girl helped him make enemies, is she trying to force him into the world of black Korean cuisine?

  Hearing that Li Yi said it was a non-toxic farmed puffer fish, Liu Yifei felt relieved, and reached out to carefully take the puffer fish from Li Yi's hand.

  The puffy pufferfish felt like a balloon that was stuck in his hands. Liu Yifei was a little scared, but also a little excited, and smiled happily.

   Seeing her holding the puffer fish, Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but also stepped forward, and curiously poked the puffer fish's belly with his fingers.

  The boss at the side didn't say anything, just asked Li Yi: "I didn't ask just now, do you cook your puffer fish with seedlings or bamboo shoots?"

Li Yi thought for a while, and said: "In this season, the spring bamboo shoots are gone, and the winter bamboo shoots haven't come down yet, so the bamboo shoots you use should all be from the cold storage? Forget it, let's burn them with seedlings! The Yangzhong seedlings should have just come down. , when it is fresh."

   "Can eat!"

  The boss smiled and gave a thumbs up.

  Zhao Jinmai was listening and asked curiously: "What is a seedling?"

   "It's Southern Alfalfa, a specialty of Yangzhong."

   Li Yi explained.

   "Alfalfa?"

  Zhao Jinmai was a little puzzled: "Isn't alfalfa fed to cows?"

   "That's alfalfa, but people can eat it too."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Southern alfalfa is a vegetable that is often eaten here in the Jiangnan area. Its flowers are golden yellow, so people in Suzhou call it golden cauliflower, and they will use it to stir-fry river mussels and eat them pickled. "

  Listening to Li Yi's explanation, in the live broadcast room, the audience was also discussing how to eat alfalfa.

   "Alfalfa is also edible, but you can only eat the young shoots that come out in the spring. Blanch it in boiling water and mix it cold. It's very refreshing."

   "It turned out to be broccoli! What did I think!"

   "It's also eaten in Zhejiang Province! But here we call it grass seeds, which are used to stir-fry fragrant dried rice cakes. My grandpa likes them very much."

   "Haha! I just ate it yesterday, it's really tender."

  At this time, a barrage of Wu Lei suddenly floated across the live broadcast room.

   "Wu Lei: We also eat it in Shanghai, but we call it Caotou. I have eaten wine vanilla head and Caotou circle, but the best one is raw stir-fried grass head, all fried with leaves, very fresh!"

  Seeing his barrage, the audience in the live broadcast immediately laughed and joked.

   "Director! Someone is lazy!"

   "If you don't film well, try to come back early, how can you still have time to watch the live broadcast?"

   "Xiao Leizi, have you finished memorizing the lines?"

On the other side, Wu Lei was sitting on a chair in the studio, looking at his phone, smiling and typing a line of text in the barrage area: "I have a big night today, and I should be able to finish the filming. If I hurry up, I can go back tomorrow... "

  But just as he was about to click send, he suddenly deleted all the words.

   It's better not to send bullet chats to tell them. When you go back secretly tomorrow, you can still surprise Brother Yi and the others.

  There was no place to put a screen in the back kitchen, so Li Yi and the others couldn't see the barrage.

   Seeing Liu Yifei playing with the puffer fish fondly, Li Yi said with a smile: "Okay, let them put it back! Don't play it to death."

"oh."

  Liu Yifei responded, and reluctantly put the puffer fish back into the basin.

  The puffer fish inflated into a balloon floated in the water in the basin with its belly facing up. After shaking a few times, it spit out a string of bubbles and got into the water.

  At this time, a helper outside the kitchen came in with a small basin, and put the small basin on the counter.

  In the basin, a puffer fish with a chrysanthemum color is swimming in it.

   "Huh? Is this also a puffer fish? It's so beautiful!"

  Zhao Jinmai was a little curious, and stretched out his hand, as if wanting to touch it.

   "This is the chrysanthemum porpoise, which is poisonous."

  Li Yi's reminder made her draw back her hand.

   "This is the fugu you want to eat?"

  Liu Yifei looked at the puffer fish in the water in surprise, feeling a little nervous.

   "Exactly."

  Li Yi looked at the chrysanthemum and yellow dolphin in the pot, and suddenly asked the boss: "Can I handle this puffer fish myself?"

  Hearing what he said, not only the boss was stunned, but even the chefs in the kitchen were startled, and all turned their heads to look over.

   "No no no no no!"

  The boss waved his hands again and again after hearing the words: "Aren't you kidding? This is poisonous, and you don't know how to deal with it. What if something happens?"

  Li Yi asked with a smile: "Is this puffer fish caught at the mouth of the Yangtze River?"

   "Yes, but it doesn't matter where you hit it, it's poisonous."

  The boss is nervous.

"I know."

  Li Yi said seriously: "If it was shot at the mouth of the Yangtze River, then the poison is relatively weak, only the liver, ovaries and intestines are highly poisonous, and the meat and skin are not poisonous.

  But if it is shot near Wanwan or Neon Country, the meat will also be slightly poisonous. "

  Hearing his words, the boss's nervousness eased a little, replaced by doubts: "How do you know? You know how to butcher puffer fish?"

"know a little."

Li Yi smiled and said: "Let's do it! I bought this pufferfish, I'll try it out, please help me check it out, guide and supervise it, if I'm negligent, you can stop it immediately, is that okay? "

"this…"

  The boss hesitated.

   On the other hand, Liu Yifei nervously persuaded: "Brother Yi, don't mess around, let the master deal with it! They have more experience, you don't need to take such a risk."

  Li Yi heard this, looked at her and smiled, and said, "I'm a chef. It's my job to know all kinds of ingredients and how to handle them."

  Hearing what he said, Liu Yifei was taken aback for a moment, and then fell silent.

   "But is there a specialization in surgery?"

  Zhao Jinmai also wanted to persuade Li Yi, but was stopped by Liu Yifei.

   "Let him do it! I'm sure he can."

  Liu Yifei looked at Li Yi and smiled, encouraging: "Come on! Be careful and be safe."

   "Don't worry, I have a measure."

  Li Yi nodded with a smile, looked at the boss, and asked with a smile, "Can I borrow some scissors?"
