MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 235 Deep cleaning and detoxification

  Chapter 235 Deep cleaning and detoxification

  The boss was very surprised by Li Yi's proficiency in movements.

   This quick look, even some old masters can't do it.

   If he said he killed puffer fish for four or five years, the boss would believe it.

  Seeing that Li Yi had completely removed the puffer fish liver, the boss stared curiously at his follow-up actions.

  Puffer liver is the most difficult part of the puffer fish. Many puffer restaurants in Yangzhong choose not to make puffer fish liver because they are too lazy to handle it or don’t know how to do it.

  The reason why Changshun Fugu Restaurant is famous is because it can process many poisonous parts of fugu into non-toxic and edible dishes.

   Especially fugu liver, many diners come to Changshun to eat fugu, they are all must-order.

  So, although the fugu offal dish is not Changshun’s unique skill, it can be regarded as a special skill.

  The boss is very curious, does Li Yi really know how to handle puffer fish liver?

   After removing the puffer fish liver, Li Yi didn't pause, just took it under the water pipe and rinsed it with the scissors.

   Afterwards, he found the glandular duct and cut off the gallbladder with a scissors.

   Gallbladder removal was only the first step. He turned the puffer fish liver around, found the thicker liver head, and cut off 1/8 of the liver, exposing the glandular ducts below.

   This is the duct connecting the puffer fish liver to the stomach, and it is full of blood.

   After cutting the gland duct, Li Yi pinched the liver tightly with both hands, and squeezed it hard.

  As he squeezed, the blood and venom in the liver were also squeezed out by him, turning dark red and black, looking very terrifying.

  Seeing his series of actions, the boss immediately gave up all doubts.

   This kid really knows how to butcher puffer fish!

  In the live broadcast room, the audience watched Li Yi's methodical movements and were stunned.

   For a while, even the barrage was much less.

  The barrage that was still drifting by was full of amazement.

   "The real killer is this?"

   "No, Brother Yi, are you serious?"

   "Huh? Brother Yi can do everything!"

   "Isn't this too awesome? Is there any culinary skills that Brother Yi doesn't know?"

  Li Yi didn't know about the discussion in the live broadcast room. He squeezed his liver a few times, and when he found that he couldn't squeeze out much blood, he put the liver on the chopping board, so that the blood in the deep part could flow out naturally.

  Following that, he turned around and took the peeled puffer fish skin, put it in a small basin, sprinkled some salt on it, and came to the stove.

  There is a pot of water on the stove, which is simmering on low heat. This is water specially used for washing puffer fish skin.

  He took a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of boiling water, and poured it on the puffer fish skin.

   Puffer fish skin will secrete certain mucus, and these mucus will absorb puffer fish blood or other substances that may contain toxins, so it must be cleaned with boiling water.

   After scalding with boiling water for more than ten seconds, Li Yi started to clean it.

  After washing with boiling water, he repeatedly rubbed it with salt and rinsed it with clean water for a few minutes until there was no greasy feeling.

  Following that, he came to the chopping board again, and the puffer fish liver was almost bleeding out.

   But this is only the blood that seeps out naturally. There is still a lot of residual blood in the liver, which must also be cleaned.

   Therefore, he took the water pipe again, aimed at the blood vessels of the liver, and rinsed it repeatedly with the maximum water pressure.

  As he rinsed, a large stream of puffer fish blood was washed out again, and the puffer fish liver gradually began to grow larger, and its color became lighter and lighter.

   After rinsing for fifteen minutes, Li Yi stopped until the water flowing out of the puffer fish liver became transparent without any blood color, and the puffer fish liver also turned grayish white.

   But it wasn't over yet, Li Yi took a knife, cut open the puffer fish liver, then mixed a bowl of edible lye, soaked the puffer fish liver in it.

  Alkali can decompose tetrodotoxin, and this step is also to remove the last remaining toxin in the liver.

  Seeing this step, the boss was completely convinced, and smiled at Li Yi with a thumbs up: "Awesome! You really know it!"

   "It's okay, I haven't forgotten."

  Li Yi said something with a smile, picked up the water hose and rinsed his hands.

  The audience in the live broadcast room only awakened from their dreams at this time, and the barrage surged crazily.

   "Brother Yi, bull beep!"

   "It's awesome! It's the first time I've seen someone handle poisonous puffer fish with my own eyes!"

   "My God, a small piece of puffer fish liver has been washed for a long time, and washed like this, I really believe that it is not poisonous."

   "The washing is really clean. If my husband washes his feet so carefully, I would dare to bite his stinky feet!"

   "Sister, you are even better than brother Yi!"

  Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai watched Li Yi clean his liver the whole time. At this time, they were convinced that Li Yi would indeed handle puffer fish.

  After the worries dissipated, their minds were all about the taste of fugu.

  The puffer fish that Li Yi has handled so carefully should not be poisonous, right?

   "It turns out that blowfish are so troublesome to deal with."

   Liu Yifei sighed.

   "No wonder it's so expensive!"

  Zhao Jinmai nodded in agreement, then swallowed: "But it should be quite delicious."

  Hearing what they said, Li Yi turned around and said with a smile: "It must be delicious, if it's not delicious, wouldn't it be a waste of all my efforts?"

   While speaking, he had already washed the fugu seminal vesicles.

  After placing the prepared ingredients, Li Yi smiled and signaled to the boss: "It's finished, and it's time to trouble the chefs."

   "Eh! Don't."

  The boss smiled and waved his hand: "If you know how to deal with it, you will definitely burn it. The most difficult ones have been dealt with, so what's the difference? You just burn it! Let us learn your craft!"

  Hearing what he said, Li Yi didn't refuse, and looked at the stove.

  The boss pointed directly at a blowfish master, and signaled: "Lao Yang, make room for this little brother."

  Lao Yang just finished cooking a pot of puffer fish. After filling out the puffer fish, he cleaned the pot and handed it to Li Yi.

   And Li Yi also took advantage of the time when he was washing the pot, carefully washed his hands clean, and even dug his nails.

   Afterwards, he came to the stove, and the boss also helped him bring over the processed puffer fish.

  Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai followed behind Li Yi, looking around curiously.

  Although Li Yi had shown extraordinary cooking skills before, this time he cooked puffer fish!

   Or poisonous puffer fish!

  This is not something ordinary chefs can do!

  The cameraman squeezed ahead of them, putting the camera behind Li Yi's shoulder.

   Seeing the cameraman squeezed too close, Li Yi turned around helplessly and said, "The pixels aren't that low, right? You don't need to be so close. It's not that difficult to cook puffer fish, it's just normal braised or boiled."

  The cameraman ignored him, and the camera moved closer.

   This is not what the cameraman wants to see, but what the audience in the live broadcast room wants to see.

  Seeing this, Li Yi could only scoop up oil into the pot while the camera was close at hand.

   Not only Liu Yifei and the audience were curious, but even the puffer fish chefs in the back kitchen all speeded up. After finishing their work, they came behind Li Yi and watched.

  Lao Yang, who just stepped aside, folded his arms and said with a smile: "I have been cooking fugu for more than ten years, and this is the first time I have seen someone come to the back kitchen to cook it myself."
