MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 234 Saifugu

  Chapter 234 Slaughtering blowfish

  In the live broadcast room, the audience was shocked when they heard that Li Yi was going to deal with wild puffer fish, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

   "No, Brother Yi, it's over now! Can poisonous things be made casually?"

   "I think it's better to entrust professional people to do professional things. People always have strengths but they can't catch them!"

   "Brother Yi has already said that he can handle it, so he must understand! Who would take his own life as a joke?"

   "How about using non-toxic ones for training? Poisonous ones are still too dangerous."

  Seeing that Li Yi insisted on trying, the boss also hesitated.

  Through the conversation just now, and what he said to Li Yi, he can roughly judge that Li Yi should be quite knowledgeable.

  At least he can call out the names of two kinds of puffer fish, and he also knows the difference between raising puffer fish.

   But slaughtering puffer fish is very dangerous, especially this kind of poisonous puffer fish. Even a master who has been there for many years cannot guarantee absolute safety.

  So, the boss decided to persuade him again: "Young man, listen to me, if you want to try this kind of non-toxic puffer fish, I will let you try it.

   But this kind of chrysanthemum dolphin is poisonous, and the danger is indeed a bit high. Our certified masters must be careful when handling it.

  Let me tell you something! Jingjiang is also a place to eat fugu. I know an old chef who cooks fugu there.

  He is best at wild puffer fish, and he has never had any accidents.

   But once, he returned from the restaurant, after eating, he picked his teeth with his nails, and died.

  When he was handling the puffer fish, a puffer fish seed was left between his nails, and he ate it into his mouth, and died of poisoning as a result. "

"ah?"

   Hearing the story he told, Zhao Jinmai's eyes widened: "A puffer fish dies?"

"yes!"

  The boss looked at Li Yi seriously: "So, handling puffer fish is still very dangerous, I advise you to think carefully about it!"

  Li Yi heard the words, thought for a while, and smiled: "Boss, to tell you the truth, I have actually handled a lot of puffer fish, but I have never passed the certification."

"real?"

  The boss breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "You didn't say it earlier."

  Li Yi smiled, and suggested: "Why don't you do it this way! This puffer fish is just for me to use you as a cook to practice, and you can also help me to see if I am good enough to test, how about it?"

   Seeing what he said, the boss nodded: "If you want to say that, it's not impossible, but you must be careful."

   "No problem, I have a measure."

  Li Yi smiled and nodded, then raised his hand to take the scissors and kitchen knife handed over by the boss.

   Seeing that he was really going to deal with puffer fish, the side chefs all came over curiously.

  A helper brought a chopping board over, put it in front of Li Yi, and signaled: "This is a chopping board for fugu slaughter."

  There is often a set of special kitchen utensils for handling poisonous puffer fish, and it must be separated from daily kitchen utensils to avoid danger.

  Li Yi went to wash his hands carefully before returning to the chopping board.

   Picked up the chrysanthemum and yellow porpoise from the basin, and put it on the chopping board. Li Yi picked up the knife and slapped the chrysanthemum and yellow porpoise twice on the head.

  The chrysanthemum dolphin twitched a few times, and then its body softened.

  Seeing this, Li Yi used a knife to cut around the mouth of the puffer fish.

  Following, Li Yi picked up the scissors and removed the puffer fish's eyes first.

  His movements are very careful, this is one of the most poisonous parts of the puffer fish, and it must not be broken.

  The boss stood aside, looking at him nervously, for fear that he might make a mistake.

  At first, the boss was worried, but after seeing Li Yi's skillful movements, he was relieved a lot, even a little surprised.

   "Hands are steady!"

  He smiled and praised.

"fine."

  Li Yi smiled politely, then cut the skin of the puffer fish's mouth for a week, and then tore off the whole puffer fish's skin like tearing off a coat.

   "Hmm!"

   Zhao Jinmai couldn't bear to look directly at this scene.

   Seeing the puffer fish with only the skin around its mouth left, she couldn't help muttering: "Why don't you just peel off the whole thing? It's too strange to leave only the skin around the mouth."

  Li Yi heard what she muttered, and explained with a smile: "The skin of the puffer fish's mouth should be preserved, it is the essence of the puffer fish.

   As the saying goes, bighead carp head and herring tail, saury nose and puffer fish mouth, the meat quality of puffer fish mouth is the tender mouth of puffer fish, and it is also the most delicious.

  When the fugu was butchered in the Neon country, the mouth of the fugu was cut off completely, but we kept it on the body. "

   "You really understand."

  After hearing his explanation, the boss gave a thumbs up with a smile, and then added: "Puffers have powerful mouths. They eat corals and crabs in the sea, and snails in the river. They are very good at opening their shells.

  It often uses its mouth, so its mouth is full of live meat, so it tastes the best. "

  Zhao Jinmai nodded again and again: "So that's the case, it sounds really good."

   While speaking, Li Yi had already put the puffer fish skin aside, and then opened the puffer fish with scissors.

   This is a male puffer fish with seminal vesicles in its stomach, which is the so-called Xi Shi milk.

   After taking out the seminal vesicle, Li Yi carefully opened the intestines and removed the puffer fish's liver.

  He moved carefully, but the boss who was watching from the side still looked nervous.

   The most delicious part of the puffer fish is the puffer fish liver.

   But the fugu liver is not only poisonous, but next to it is the gallbladder.

  The gallbladder of puffer fish is very thin, and it will break if you are not careful.

   If the gallbladder is broken, the whole fish cannot be eaten, and it will definitely be poisoned.

  Looking at the tender puffer fish liver, Li Yi's Adam's apple twitched slightly.

   Although puffer fish liver is poisonous, its charming flavor also comes from this toxin.

  Food lovers believe that the charm of puffer fish lies in the numbness of trace toxins and the stimulation of life and death, which is called "tasteless taste".

  Su Dongpo, who was once obsessed with fugu, even commented on fugu liver as "worth dying for", because of the excitement of desperately eating fugu.

   After taking out all the internal organs, Li Yi carefully washed the belly of the puffer fish, rinsing vigorously with a water hose.

   Seeing Li Yi turn on the faucet to the maximum and not spare the clean water, Liu Yifei glanced at the boss and said with a smile: "Boss, when we pay the bill later, we will make up the water bill for you."

  The boss was stunned when he heard the words, and quickly waved his hands and smiled: "It's okay, you can't waste water when washing puffer fish, you have to wash it with big water, the cleaner the washing, the better.

  The poison of pufferfish is called blood poison seeds, which swells the eyes and makes the eyes dizzy. The blood must be washed clean.

  In fact, what you hear about eating puffer fish desperately should be called fighting to eat puffer fish. The most important thing for detoxification is the cleaning step. Do not save water, otherwise accidents will happen. "

"So this is ah!"

  Liu Yifei suddenly realized, and then looked at Li Yi, and found that Li Yi had been rubbing the belly and meat of the fish while cleaning.

  Even though it had been washed until it turned pale, he didn't stop. He was obviously trying to clean the blood from the fish's belly.

  Looking at Li Yi's careful look, the boss also nodded in admiration: "Sure enough, I know **** puffer fish. It turns out that I underestimated people."
