Chapter 0549 - Eating Pufferfish
Since they met, they naturally inevitably introduced each other, after all, Fang Qin, Gong Yuan and others didn't know each other. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Therefore, after Zeng Cheng greeted Gong Yuan and them, Zeng Cheng introduced the three of Gong Yuan to Fang Qin, but when introducing Fang Qin to Gong Yuan, Zeng Cheng did not pick out Fang Qin's body, but simply introduced Fang Qin's name.
Fang Qin came to Shicheng, and first found that Zeng Cheng had an ambiguous relationship with Tang Yin, Bai Xiuzhu, Xing Xiuyan and Liu Tingting, and then just turned around, and found that three such outstanding girls appeared opposite her, which made her feel a sense of crisis and urgency.
Although Zeng Cheng has already taken the lead in this matter, but the man is a big variable, maybe one day she will start to empathize with each other, so she can't help but be more cautious.
However, Fang Qin's confidence in her heart is still relatively sufficient, because she is the first girl to sleep with Zeng Cheng, she glanced at Gong Yuan, Zhuo Zhuo and Song Shiyu and others opposite, and thought to herself, even if you have the opportunity to sleep with Zeng Cheng, it is also a later person, and you still have to call me sister obediently when you see me.
So, Fang Qin put on the posture of an eldest sister and said to Zeng Cheng: "Chengzi, since everyone has met, can we eat this meal together?
Zeng Cheng glanced at Fang Qin in surprise, I don't know what she thinks in her heart, it seems that the palace fight situation in her imagination will not break out openly, the four girls present are not stupid people, this struggle is naturally protracted, mainly underground struggle.
"You haven't had time to order food yet, have you?" Zeng Cheng coughed and asked Gong Yuan and the others.
That's a bit redundant. If they've already ordered a meal, do they still have to wait in the hall?
Sure enough, Song Shiyu replied, "Sister Xiaoqiang invited us to dinner." The appointment was here, but she hadn't come yet. ”
Zeng Cheng nodded, saying in his heart that it was no wonder that the three of them would appear here.
Although the relationship between Yuemei Hotel and Xianyuan Group is complicated, there are many discounts for people who come here to consume from Xianyuan Group, but after all, it is a five-star hotel, and ordinary people really can't afford it.
But this situation does not exist for Xin Xiaoqiang, as the CEO of Xianyuan Group, the annual salary and bonuses are tens of millions, and having a meal here is really a small case.
Zeng Cheng said happily: "Great, I can save a sum of money for dinner tonight." ”
Since someone is the east, Zeng Cheng is also happy to join in the fun and slaughter Xin Xiaoqiang, a beautiful senior sister.
"I don't know when we'll have to wait here until ......"
Fang Qin sat in the hall and looked around, and found that many people passing by couldn't help but turn their heads to look. Presumably the four beauties are currently very few, and there are really few people who can not be tempted, right? Even the waiter is no exception, and those who have nothing to do are always willing to wander around this side.
"Maybe Sister Xiaoqiang has something to do temporarily, or she should come over. Song Shiyu guessed.
Although Song Shiyu is the assistant to the president of Zeng Cheng's Xianyuan Group and Zeng Cheng's secretary, because Zeng Cheng is a hands-off shopkeeper and rarely asks about the company's affairs, she often contacts Xin Xiaoqiang, the CEO of the group, so the relationship between the two is closer.
Zeng Cheng said to everyone: "Let's order first." I waited while eating, and then I called her and asked her about it. ”
Everyone naturally had no objection to Zeng Cheng's proposal, so Zeng Cheng took out his mobile phone, made a call to the company, and connected Xin Xiaoqiang, but the staff said that Mr. Xin had come out, and there seemed to be two guests following.
"Invited someone else?" Zeng Cheng was a little surprised, but it was nothing, there were only five people at the moment. plus Xin Xiaoqiang, two guests and drivers, there are only nine people, and one table is just right.
So Zeng Cheng booked a luxury suite upstairs. There is a spacious and bright dining room, as well as a bathroom and a bedroom for resting, the area of the dining room alone is more than 50 square meters, and in such a large space, there are only two tables and seven or eight people for serving the staff.
Adjacent to the street is a floor-to-ceiling glass wall, wiped clean, through which you can see the bustling crowd and the endless stream of vehicles outside, slowly moving under the lights.
Zeng Cheng asked the waiter for a menu, asked for everyone's opinions, ordered more than a dozen dishes, and then asked for drinks and drinks.
"Do you have any recommended dishes here?" Zeng Cheng handed the menu to the waiter, and then asked casually.
The waiter naturally knew Zeng Cheng, after all, he was one of the two owners of the Moon Rose Hotel. He also knew that Zeng Cheng was definitely not asking this for the ingredients provided by Xianyuan Farm to the Yuemei Hotel.
Many of the food and beverages provided by Moon Rose Hotel are not ingredients produced in Xianyuan Farm, in addition to some ordinary products, there are also some rare ingredients.
Now Zeng Cheng asked, it would definitely not be an ordinary ingredient, so the waiter glanced at him and replied, "There is puffer fish meat, does Mr. Zeng want it?"
Zeng Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked at the waiter, and asked with some curiosity: "This thing is also available?"
Puffer fish has a small mouth and a round head, a black-brown back, a white abdomen, a large one meter long, weighs about 20 catties, the eyes are usually blue-green, and can automatically change color with the change of light, there are about hundreds of varieties, it is a delicious but highly toxic fish.
Tetrodotoxin is a kind of nerve poison, which needs more than 200 degrees to decompose, the amount of toxicity in the fish body varies in different parts and different seasons, the ovaries and liver are highly toxic, and the visceral toxin can penetrate into the muscles after the death of the fish, and the muscles that are not toxic are also toxic.
Tetrodotoxin can cause central nervous system palsy, block neuromuscular conduction, tingling sensation in fingers, tongue and lips in the early stage, and then gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, weakness of limbs, chills, and paralysis of lips and extremities. In severe cases, the pupillary and corneal reflexes are lost, and the muscles of the limbs are paralyzed, resulting in general paralysis and paralysis. In severe cases, people have difficulty breathing, blood pressure drops, coma, and finally die of respiratory failure, and there is no specific antidote to this toxin.
The development of pufferfish food culture is related to the establishment of Jinling in the Six Dynasties.
According to historical records, from the 3rd century to the end of the 6th century, the Three Kingdoms of Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin, Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties successively established their capitals in Jiankang, which was the most active era in Chinese thought after the Warring States Period.
The capital of Jinling was established in the Six Dynasties, and the flow of people and logistics promoted the social and economic development, and the pufferfish food culture could rise in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In the Song Dynasty in the 10th ~ 12th century, literati and scholars wrote poems and lyrics, and there were many wonderful descriptions of pufferfish.
According to the record of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the North Mountains", as early as the era of Dayu more than 4,000 years ago, people along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River tasted pufferfish and knew that it was very poisonous.
More than 2,000 years ago, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River were the territory of Wu Yue during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Wu Yue was rich in pufferfish, after King Wu achieved hegemony, pufferfish was respected as the best delicacy, King Wu compared pufferfish with the beauty Xi Shi, puffer fish liver was called "Xi Shi liver", pufferfish essence nest was called "Xi Shi milk". People taste the custom of pufferfish than the Japanese today, especially when tasting the pufferfish nest, it is as white as milk, plump and delicious, melt in the mouth, wonderful feeling, I don't know how to describe, some people think of the beauty of the Yue country Xi Shi, so "Xi Shi milk" spread among the people.
In the fifth year of Jingyou in the Song Dynasty, the famous poet Mei Yaochen was on the banquet of Fan Zhongyan, and when his colleagues talked about pufferfish, he couldn't help but improvise a poem: "Chunzhou gives birth to buds, and poplars fly on the spring bank." When the pufferfish is, it is more expensive than fish and shrimp ......".
Li Shizhen also mentioned in the "Collection of Materia Medica" that Yan Youyi of the Song Dynasty said in "Yiyuan Female Huang": "Pufferfish, the strange taste of the water tribe, it is rumored that it kills, and the rest of Danyang and Xuancheng are eaten. However, when they were boiled with three things, such as weed, artemisia, and sprouts, no dead were found.
Li Shizhen completed 30 years of skill, from the ancient Yan Yellow Emperor to the Ming Dynasty more than 600 masterpieces in the meticulous and extensive search, a comprehensive summary of the 21st century BC to the 16th century Chinese pharmacology achievements, he in his masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica" said: "According to the grass created in Dayu, written in Xia, perfected in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Warring States period of the ancient book "Shan Hai Jing Beishan Jing" records, pufferfish name cerium fish, Wu people said that its blood is poisonous, the liver eats the tongue numb, the roe eats the stomach swelling, the eyes eat it and can't see things. Song Ren Ma Zhi said in "Kaibao Materia Medica": Pufferfish, the Yangtze River, the Huai River, the Yellow River, and the sea are all there..."
Today's Hai'an is the first area to eat puffer fish, and more than 3,000 years ago, Qingdun witnessed the delicious taste of puffer fish.
Throughout the ages, along with the changes in the ecological environment, the course of the Huai River and the Yellow River and the estuary of the sea have changed many times, and the old course of the Yellow River is still left in Lianshui and other places in Jiangsu Province; Hongze, Huaiyin, Huai'an, Jinhu and Funing in Jiangsu Province are all located in the lower reaches of the Huai River, but people have never seen pufferfish in the Yellow River and Huai River again.
According to the survey, the people in the coastal areas of northern Jiangsu and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River generally know and eat pufferfish, and the pufferfish food culture inherited so far is completely in tune with the descriptions of Su Dongpo and Mei Yaochen. Judging from the description of the distribution, ecological habits, external morphology and behavior of pufferfish by the ancients, the pufferfish in "desperately eating pufferfish" should refer to the pufferfish that enters the lower reaches of the Yangtze River from the ocean in spring for reproductive migration.
