Chapter 0181 - The Exquisiteness of Eating Puffer Fish
"In Hong Kong and Taiwan, it's normal to eat together. Feng Tiantian replied a little unconvinced.
"You just see that people make money and are happy, but you don't see how many people disappear in the Hong Kong Island entertainment industry every year, especially girls!" Zeng Wei said very unhappily, "To be able to mix with the kind of characters who are 501,000 million at each dinner, there are big people behind them who have their feet on both black and white to support them, otherwise they would have been gnawed by that group of wolves to the point that there are no bones left!"
"We're not in China, and we don't have those black and white ......" Feng Tiantian was still a little unconvinced.
"I said sister......" Zeng Wei looked at Feng Tiantian a little speechless and said, "You are not too young, and you have been in the domestic entertainment industry for so many years, why are you so immature politically?
………………
Zeng Wei looked at the people over there chatting hotly, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, so he simply left the table and went to walk around.
As soon as Zeng Wei ran outside the door, a waiter immediately came up and asked, "Sir, what do you need?"
"Idle and boring, what are you doing here?" Zeng Wei asked.
The waiter thought for a moment and then said, "Sir, didn't you order the puffer fish?" and now the kitchen is working on it, if you are interested, you can go over and have a look now, it is very interesting." ”
Zeng Wei nodded when he heard this: "This opinion is good. ”
So the waiter led Zeng Wei to the kitchen dedicated to making puffer fish, and then explained to the chefs.
When Zeng Wei walked in, a chef in his fifties was making puffer fish inside.
After knowing that this was the big customer, a young chef accompanied Zeng Wei and explained to him: "Killing puffer fish is about speed and slowness. Fast, that is, from the water out of a live puffer fish, holding a pair of sharp scissors in the right hand, cut into the abdomen, sliding forward, quickly take out the internal organs, fish roe, one by one in the plate, take out the fish eyes. It is said that in the past, this process would last for three days, during which the chef would continue to soak and wash until the blood was completely clean. ”
In the process of killing fish, there is another chef in the acceptance, two eyes, a pair of liver, and a pair of fish roe are placed in a saucer, which is highly poisonous, and can only be buried deeply, and must not be thrown away like garbage.
Every day, when you kill a few puffer fish, you have to count the fish's eyes, and you can't miss a single one. If one is missing, all the work in the kitchen has to be stopped until it is found.
When digging for the roe, you should never break the membrane, and if the roe spreads, you need to rinse the fish repeatedly and check every crevice on its body to make sure that no one is left.
………………
After listening to the young chef's words, the old chef also said to Zeng Wei: "Earlier, there was a set of strict rules for killing puffer fish, and I learned it since I was a child, but now I don't follow it very much. The reason is very simple, ordinary farmed puffer fish do not need to be washed for three days at all, half a day is enough. A few remnants of caviar will not cause poisoning, as long as the blood is exhausted, the basic steps are good, and it is unlikely that you want to be poisoned. Nowadays, young chefs are getting faster and faster, and the most important rule of chefs, which has been passed down from generation to generation, is no longer followed by many people. ”
"Is this wild?" Zeng Wei was very concerned about this question, pointing to the puffer fish in the pot and asked.
"This is wild, there is a special puffer fish feast ordered by the guests, you have caught up, otherwise, it is impossible to eat wild puffer fish meat immediately. The old cook replied.
Then the old chef looked at the puffer fish in the pot seriously, saying that the heat was almost up, and there were only a few seconds at this time, and the time was not enough, and the fragrance could not come out, but within a few seconds of the fragrance coming out, the fire must be stopped, otherwise, the umami of the puffer fish would disappear.
As he spoke, the aroma wafted out, and the old chef stopped the fire, and then got the follow-up stuff, and this puffer fish meat was out of the pot.
"According to the old rules, you should taste this first bite?" Zeng Wei asked.
"That's natural, you don't dare to eat your own cooked dishes, which guest dares to eat it?" the old chef laughed, added a piece of fish skin to it with his chopsticks, and stuffed it into his mouth, still with an intoxicated expression on his face.
………………
Zeng Wei also followed his example and took a piece of fish skin, put it in his mouth and chewed it, but found that his mouth was full of thorns, and he couldn't help frowning again and again: "Why are you so prickly?"
The old chef smiled and said, "Guest, you don't eat that way." ”
Then he re-clamped a piece of fish skin to Zeng Wei and demonstrated: "Eating puffer fish is eating fish skin, but this fish skin is not eaten casually, there are a lot of thorns on the outside, and if you chew it like that, there will be thorn residue left in your mouth." You have to flip the skin over and swallow it in one bite. ”
"Then what else does it feel?" Zeng Wei asked curiously.
He thinks that this way of eating is similar to the feeling of swallowing dates, where can he taste the taste?
The old chef explained: "It is said that this puffer fish skin is extremely nourishing to the stomach, no matter what kind of stomach disease it is, eating a few pieces of puffer fish skin is stronger than taking any medicine, so everyone eats it like this, and if you want to taste it, it is all in the soup." ”
After a while, when the time came, the old chef was safe and sound, and Zeng Wei did not feel unwell, so he served the dish, and Zeng Wei also came back with him.
"The wild puffer fish is ready, the chef has already tasted the first bite, and the time has exceeded half an hour, the chef is safe and sound, now please use it slowly. After the waiter brought the dish, he specially explained to everyone.
"Who ordered the puffer fish? This dish is not what we want, what if something goes wrong with the food?" said the two men with a frown.
"Huh?" Zeng Wei looked at it with some surprise, and found that several girls were not happy, Feng Tiantian was also full of embarrassment, and the two men looked a little bit like they had nothing to do, as if someone owed them much money.
Zeng Wei sat down, pushed the plate of puffer fish in front of him, clamped a large piece down, and then sandwiched a piece for each girl, and then said slowly: "Well, very good cook, very good puffer fish." I've tried it in the kitchen just now, and it's really good, everyone has tried it. ”
"Boss Zeng, what do you mean?" a young man patted the table and asked, "It's true that we pay for a treat, but you make the decision for the host and order the food casually, isn't it a bit unsightly?" 8)
