Chapter 327: Deadly Food

In the island country, the ratings of variety shows are very high, especially those with selling points, the number one is the food program, as long as it is food, the audience must like to watch it, and it has basically won the top three ratings over the years.

Then there is entertainment and funny, which is similar to the domestic situation, modern people live and work under great pressure, and everyone wants to have some fun after work. However, the size of the island country's variety shows is very large, and some shows like to trick guests, especially beauties, so that the audience can see the most real side of the danger encountered by the artists who are usually high-flying, and this kind of bad taste is also a major feature.

Of course, magic shows also have a stable audience, and magic in the island country is very developed and there are many enthusiasts, so both magicians and magic props are very popular. There are three of the world's largest magic props companies here, SkyOcean, SAM, and UGM!

One of the most influential is UGM, which holds the Asian World Magic Symposium every year, which is one of the highest level magic events in Asia. His founder, Shan Yong, is also a myth in the magic world this time, and people talk about it.

The highest level of magic competition in the island country is the Tianhai Award, which is held all over the country in June and July every year, and not only domestic masters are invited, but also foreigners are allowed to participate. At that time, Liu Yiqian won the silver medal with his outstanding performance at the Tianhai Awards, and then was favored by the TV station to do a show, and became a star in the island country step by step.

In fact, participating in the competition is the main way for powerful amateur magicians to get ahead, and the probability of wanting to go from obscurity to overnight popularity is too low, not much higher than winning the lottery. If you're lucky, you might be discovered by a TV station or other company in a competition, and then have the opportunity to show yourself on a bigger platform and get more attention.

Ono diligently poured wine for Moqi, he often shouted to the Chinese, well versed in the wine table culture, feelings are in the wine, first mix the relationship, cooperation can be carried out better.

"Lao Wang drink less, leave some stomach for a big meal, the puffer fish is not served yet!"

Xiao Li watched Director Wang drink one bite after another, and reminded him a little anxiously: "It's so easy to eat authentic puffer fish once, known as the most deadly delicacy in the world, one gram of toxin can kill several people!" I heard that the chef who makes fugu in the island country has a minimum apprenticeship of five years before he is qualified to handle pufferfish, and it takes more than ten years for a senior chef to stand on his own! ”

Wang Daomei took a sip of wine and said with a look of enjoyment: "Feast? Young man, you think too much! ”

He pointed to a small plate of cold dishes in front of each person, exquisite and beautiful, I have to say that it is indeed a visual enjoyment, the character of the island people to pursue perfection is vividly reflected in the food, even the plating is very attentive and meticulous.

"You haven't eaten island food before! For the natives of the island, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eat a high-quality pufferfish. The puffer fish only has a toxic liver, and it requires absolutely accurate knife work and rich experience to deal with it, so many of us today, Ono is not a local tyrant, do you really think you can eat puffer fish to your heart's content? ”

"I ......"

When Xiao Li heard this, he was immediately like a deflated ball, Su Yun smiled and comforted on the side: "The real food must be less and fine, only the people who know how to eat can experience the fun, don't you envy gourmets?" That's the highest level. ”

"Yes, Sister Yun still understands me!" Xiao Li suddenly came to his senses, took a deep breath, actually closed his eyes, and said to himself like an old monk in meditation: "Calm down and experience the true meaning of food......

A few people smiled and shook their heads, in fact, the island country has long begun to study the toxicity of puffer fish, and the intensity, attributes, and detoxification methods of the poison have been scientifically verified, and finally in 1892, starting from Tokyo, all regions began to eat puffer fish scientifically.

The government finally relented, and in the new Food Sanitation Law, the rules for eating fugu were formulated in detail, and the examination for the qualification certificate of fugu chef was also set, so that chefs with this qualification could scientifically handle their toxins according to different puffer fish, and only then could they sell puffer fish, and also listed in detail which parts of which puffer fish could be made and sold.

Even with detailed rules and chef certifications, there are still incidents of puffer fish poisoning people from time to time, and the most famous dolphin eater is the "National Treasure of the Island Country" Bando Mitsugoro.

Legendary Kabuki Yashiro Bando Mitsugoro is an absolute food expert, especially a lover of pufferfish, and boasts of being invincible to all poisons. On January 16, 1975, he took a singer and a friend into a famous old puffer fish shop. After three rounds of drinking, a young director who wants to win the favor of Bandong proposes to try fasting puffer fish liver, which is the ultimate food pleasure for gourmets.

Four square pieces of pork liver, only 1.4 centimeters wide, were slowly handed over from Geji's hands, white and flawless, crystal clear. Whether it was food or the kiss of death, no one dared to move, except Bandong. He pursed the corners of his lips, as if deeply moved by the delicate and smooth touch, and swallowed four pieces in a row. He died in the night, and the whole country was shocked.

But even if you're not afraid of poisoning, you should still have to consider your purse when eating fugu: the price of fugu is rising every year, averaging 150,000 yen per fish in recent years, and demand is still in short supply, so you need to book a table several months in advance.

"Don't worry, this is the most professional fugu restaurant in Tokyo, and I personally think it's one of the most delicious foods in the world!"

Ono clinked glasses of wine with Mo Qi and said lightly: "Our island people like umami the most, and there are hundreds of places to eat puffer fish in Tokyo alone, but this one must be among the top few!" ”

This said that the waiter finally came up with the first course, a small black dish with two pieces of brown translucent jelly, Mo Qi gently picked up a piece, and in the light there were dots of white meat foam solidified, which should be an appetizer.

Slowly put it in your mouth, it is silky between your lips and teeth, and when you bite it lightly with your teeth, it is full of elasticity and has an excellent taste. A stream of sweetness instantly turns into juice that fills the entire mouth, slightly salty, and there is a faint aroma of wine between savoring.

"Good!"

Mo Qi couldn't help but nod and sigh, don't look at a small piece of jelly, just reflect the freshness of the puffer fish, worthy of the chef's handiwork.

Ono was very satisfied when he saw Moqi, and said happily: "Moqi-kun, don't underestimate this appetizer, this is the skin of the pufferfish, only a senior chef can have the knife skills to cut off the elastic skin intact, and then boil it with homemade soy sauce and sake, and after cooling, it becomes fish jelly, and there is also some fish meat in it, and it is a pleasure to bite into it!" ”

Mo Qi nodded, he does have a set for eating raw island people, and the respect for the ingredients allows every part to be used to achieve the most suitable effect, which is worthy of admiration.

The waiter put the other dishes in front of Su Yun and them, but he didn't expect Xiao Li to be in a hurry or impatient this time, he slowly opened his eyes for a full minute, calmly picked up the chopsticks, picked them up and carefully observed them, and then slowly put them in his mouth, closed his eyes and tasted them for a while, before nodding lightly, looking unfathomable.
