MTL - A Mouthful of Sky-high Fried Rice, Lao Tang Apprenticed on the Spot-Chapter 240 blowfish exam

  Chapter 240 Puffer fish exam

  The school the boss mentioned is the local Fugu cooking training center in Yangzhong, which is jointly organized by the local Fugu Association and the Culinary and Catering Industry Association.

  The judges of the training center are all senior fugu masters like the boss.

  The blowfish masters in Yangzhong basically learned their skills from these old blowfish masters, and they knew every apprentice.

  So, after seeing Li Yi, a new face, several masters were full of doubts.

  Especially when he saw the film crew following Li Yi, the two stars Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, and several old masters looked at each other, and called the boss over.

   "Old Zhou, don't mess around! Has this guy ever studied, and you let him take the exam?"

   "Yes! What if something goes wrong?"

   Seeing their doubts, the boss hurriedly made a guarantee for Li Yi: "Don't worry! Will I bring anyone to the exam casually?

  I watched him handle a chrysanthemum dolphin with my own eyes. He slaughtered, burned, and ate it himself. Nothing happened.

  You can tell by looking at it, this young man is very clean in his work, better than the old master in my shop. "

   Seeing what he said, the master masters dispelled some doubts and came back to Li Yi.

  Looking at the camera behind Li Yi, Chef Zheng, who is the vice president, said solemnly: "Young man, let me remind you that the fugu license of our association is universal across the country, and the requirements and difficulty are relatively high.

  You may have learned how to handle fugu, but if you want to get a fugu license, I suggest you learn from our professional masters for a while. "

"I understand."

  Li Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Can I try it? If I can't meet the requirements, then I will stay and learn from the master, is that okay?"

  Hearing what he said, the expressions of the master chefs softened a little.

  It seems that this kid still has a sense of proportion, which is much better.

  They are most afraid of encountering young chefs who do not know the heights of heaven and earth, and who have no awe of fugu. They would rather not teach such chefs, so as not to harm others.

  After some exchange, the vice president explained the content of the exam to Li Yi: "Our exam content is divided into two parts, the first part is a theoretical knowledge test, and the second part is practical exercises.

  The content of the theory test is to identify all types of puffer fish living in the coastal and Yangtze River basins, and point out their respective physiological toxicity. The identification time of each type of puffer fish should not exceed five seconds.

  The practical part is to handle a wild puffer fish caught in the sea in front of us, and make three dishes within two hours, and eat it by ourselves.

For each step, we have time requirements. If you are sure that you can complete it, then we will start the exam. If you are not sure, you can choose to give up. After we have studied systematically, we will come to the exam again. What do you think? ? "

  Listening to the serious words of the vice president, before Li Yi opened his mouth, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai behind him couldn't help becoming nervous.

  Zhao Jinmai whispered in Liu Yifei's ear: "This exam sounds so difficult!"

  Liu Yifei also felt a little dry, but still said in a low voice: "It's okay, I believe Brother Yi, the big deal is that you don't pass the exam!"

  Zhao Jinmai heard the words and said in a low voice: "But the puffer fish caught in the sea seems to be very poisonous."

  Hearing her words, Liu Yifei's heart suddenly rose, and a trace of worry flashed across Li Yi's eyes.

   Li Yi in front, after listening to the exam content, nodded with a smile, and said seriously: "I'm ready, I can take the exam anytime."

  Hearing what he said, the vice president sighed lightly, but still nodded, signaling: "Come with me! Go to the operation room."

   As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the operating room with a few judges.

  Li Yi followed behind with Liu Yifei and the film crew.

  In the live broadcast room, the audience was excitedly discussing the content of the exam just now, and the barrage was flying.

   "Damn it! It's my first time watching the fugu license test! I'm so nervous!"

   "Catch puffer fish in the sea! The real wild puffer fish is very poisonous. I hope Brother Yi can withstand it."

   "My God, isn't this license too dangerous? I remember that tetrodotoxin doesn't seem to have a serum. If there is an accident, it will be dangerous."

   "I can't take this license in my life, it's too scary! You can't make fun of your own life!"

   "Hehe! Let me tell you, this puffer fish license has a high gold content! If it is placed in the neon country, a license is worth one million!"

   "I've also heard that eating fugu is even more crazy in Nihong country than in China, and the salary of the fugu master is also extremely high."

  "The average annual salary starts at 150,000 US dollars, and can reach a maximum of 250,000 to 300,000 US dollars. This is just a salary. Opening a store by yourself will make you more profitable."

   "Fuck! $300,000 a year? Isn't that two million? Is making fugu so profitable?"

   "Mom! I'm so excited!"

   "Didn't you hear the exam requirements? You have to eat the dishes you cook yourself. Anyone who is not afraid of death can try it."

  Amidst the heated discussion among the audience, Li Yi and his party came to the operating room.

  In the large fish tank behind the operating room, there are puffer fish of different styles. Some are bright in color, some are covered with bright markings, and some are even covered with bone spurs. It looks very strange.

   "So many blowfish?"

  Zhao Jinmai was stunned: "There are so many kinds?"

   In this tank, there are at least 30 to 40 different kinds of puffer fish. She was a little dazzled looking at it, let alone distinguishing the species.

  But Li Yi just stood in front of the fish tank, scanned it roughly, and then nodded to the judges, indicating that it was time to start.

   The judges didn't say much, one of the gray-haired masters came forward, picked up a puffer fish with a net bag, and asked Li Yi, "What kind is this?"

  Li Yi just glanced at it, and said: "The pufferfish, produced in the waters near Wanwan Province, the internal organs, muscles, skin, and milt are all very poisonous."

  The old master nodded when he heard the words, and picked up another one: "What about this one?"

   "The pufferfish should be caught in the waters of Southeast Asia, and its skin is poisonous."

   "This one."

   "Yellowfin puffer, caught in Haizhou Bay, the ovaries and liver are highly toxic, the large intestine is poisonous, and the meat, skin and milt are non-toxic."

   "This one."

   "White-spotted catfish, caught in the South China Sea, should be near the Paracel Islands, the ovaries and liver are poisonous."

"this?"

   "Leopard pufferfish should be a migratory fish caught in Taihu Lake. The ovaries and liver are highly toxic, and the blood and internal organs are also poisonous. It tastes good."

  Listening to Li Yi's familiar identification of different puffer fish, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai were both dumbfounded.

  In the live broadcast room, the audience's barrage was already boiling.

   "Damn it! Is it real or fake? Not only can you recognize the species, but you also know where it was fished from?"

   "Isn't this too strong? Why did you even say where the fish is?"

   "Is this a script? It's too fake!"

   "No, how do you know it was fished from Taihu Lake? Why?"

  Although the barrage in the live broadcast room could not be seen, the gray-haired judges also had the same question.

  He looked at Li Yi, and asked doubtfully, "How do you know that this leopard-print pufferfish was fished out of Taihu Lake?"
