"Good!" Ning Xi said loudly: "That's it!" ”

Seeing that she was so confident, Wu Shiqing was taken aback in her heart, could it be that she really didn't have a shadow of the puffer fish at all? On second thought, the more arrogant she is, the more confident she will be in the puffer fish she has made, and the more she will be unsuspecting to eat the gifts she has prepared for her.

"Haha!" Thinking of this, Wu Shiqing couldn't help laughing, today, Ning Xi either didn't dare to eat puffer fish and left in disgrace, or he died in the Golden Palace on the spot, no matter what, the victory is his own!

"Ningxi, Ningxi, what if you let you live for a lifetime? You can't escape the palm of my hand after all! Wu Shiqing sighed proudly in her heart.

"Come on, bring the pufferfish!"

In terms of appearance, the puffer fish that Wu Shiqing asked people to send up looks very good, Ning Xi scooped it up, took it in his palm and looked at it carefully, only to see that its body was cylindrical, its belly was extremely fat, its eyes were small and inverted, its mouth was like a cherry, and there was a pair of chiseled teeth on its upper and lower jaws. The skin of the whole fish is smooth and scaleless, with a snow-white belly with horizontal stripes on the back, and a pair of black patches behind the pectoral fins, but no pelvic fins.

Seeing this pufferfish, Ning Xi remembered the one that killed her in the first place, and it was the same as this one, fat and perfect, she suddenly remembered her dream, in which her good friend Shao Jiaqing quietly ran to the kitchen and secretly replaced the puffer fish she was going to use on the stage......

Ning Xi was shocked, could it be that there was something wrong with this puffer fish?

Thinking of this, Ning Xi didn't dare to take it lightly, and handled the puffer fish in his hand more carefully.

After disembowelment, it is clear at a glance whether a puffer fish is male or female, the male dolphin has a sperm nest in the body, the sperm nest can be eaten, and the taste is extremely delicious, there is the reputation of Shih Tzu milk; The female dolphin will have a pair of ovaries in her body, but this ovary is highly poisonous, and if you accidentally eat it, it will kill you in just a few moments.

The puffer fish in Ning Xi's hand, the fine nest in the belly of the fish is clear, and it is clearly a male dolphin.

Ning Xi carefully took off the essence nest, and continued to remove other toxins on the puffer fish, with a plate at hand, a pair of fish eyes, a pair of livers, a pair of kidneys, a pair of fish gall bladders, and a fish skin.

The rest of the fish is carefully rinsed with water until no trace of blood remains.

All of these were too similar to the ones she had experienced, so similar that they made Ning Xi feel a faint uneasiness in her heart, and as time passed, this uneasiness became bigger and bigger, and she couldn't help but glance up at Wu Shiqing.

Wu Shiqing stared coldly at her movements, and there was a trace of pity hidden in the arrogance in her eyes, a kind of condescending pity for a person who was high up looking down on the ants that were about to be crushed into mud under their feet.

"No, it can't be that simple." Ning Xi thought, Wu Shiqing tried so hard to make herself this pufferfish, and it would never be possible for her to pass the test so easily without danger, so what is the problem?

Ning Xi thought about the whole process carefully, just like in the previous life, there were no flaws, and there was no flaw in every link.

Think again, think again.

Ning Xi looked at the processed snow-white fish meat and the plump puffer fish essence nest in his hand seriously, and suddenly his heart moved, and he opened the essence nest to take a closer look.

At first glance, I was drenched in sweat, and there was actually a pair of highly poisonous ovaries that only female puffer fish could have wrapped in this fine nest!

Ning Xi's whole body was filled with a kind of weakness for the rest of his life, and even his fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly, in case he didn't find it, what if he really didn't find it......

She glanced up at Wu Shiqing, who couldn't see her specific movements clearly in the distance, and her eyes were still so arrogant and disdainful, Ning Xi suddenly understood that her death in her previous life was not an accident, but a carefully set up bureau, and found a hermaphroditic puffer fish that was unique in ten thousand, so that the defenseless self did her way.

But why? Ning Xi thinks that she is sincere, and she is very sincere to this only friend, and she has never done anything that can't help her, why, she wants to be so ruthless, it's not enough to hurt herself once, and she has to chase after her for the second time?

The unusual pause made Jun Qianyu, who had been paying attention to Ning Xi, feel a little wrong, and walked over and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

found that Ning Xi's face was pale, and his hands were still trembling slightly, he was even more distressed, and he wanted to pull her out at the moment, regardless of his emperor and queen mother, and what secular etiquette he had, he just wanted her to be happy, not to do these things that he didn't want to do here.

Jun Qianyu stretched out his hand to hold Ning Xi: "Let's go, don't care about these Laoshzi things." ”

He said this lightly, and many people present heard it, Wu Shiqing sneered: "What, don't you dare?" If you don't dare, admit defeat as soon as possible! ”

Ning Xi slowly withdrew his hand from Jun Qianyu's big palm and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”

Quietly and with great dexterity, the ovaries are removed from the sperm nest intact without any damage, and then continue to put the processed puffer fish meat and sperm nest into the pot to simmer.

Now that she knew the root cause, Ning Xi's confidence returned, she suddenly raised her head, smiled and said loudly to Jun Qianyu: "Fifth master, this time the puffer fish, you come to taste it for me, okay?" ”

Jun Qianyu looked at her with a smile: "Naturally, you can." "Chopsticks hold a piece of snow-white fish meat and is about to put it in your mouth.

"No, you can't!" A sharp shout attracted everyone's attention to Wu Shiqing's body, and her eyes were full of panic, "No, how can you take risks!" ”

"This king has confidence in Ningxi and doesn't think it's an adventure."

"That's not good, there are rules in the culinary world, when you eat pufferfish, you have to be the chef who makes puffer fish to eat the first bite." Wu Shiqing hurriedly said that she was afraid that if Jun Qianyu really ate this puffer fish, it would not only be Ning Xi, who made the puffer fish, but even herself, the person who provided the puffer fish, would probably not be able to get rid of it.

Ning Xi looked at her with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "King Yu volunteered to help me taste it, but the emperor hasn't spoken yet, what are you doing so nervous?" ”

Wu Shiqing said angrily: "Your Majesty, this slut is deliberately plotting to kill the people in the royal family, quickly order someone to take her down!" ”

Ning Xi sneered: "Murder? Is Lord Qing so sure that this puffer fish must be poisonous? ”

"I'm not sure, but I can't let King Yu put himself in danger, that is, you should let yourself eat, how can you push it to others."

Seeing that the commotion was not presentable, the emperor spoke: "Come on, find a dog to come in." ”

Wu Shiqing said: "Your Majesty, this matter is about the dignity of a chef, if a chef doesn't even dare to eat the dishes he makes, then does he still have the face to call himself a chef?" If this Ning Xi really doesn't dare to taste it himself, then from now on, there is no need to open a restaurant, who else dares to eat the dishes produced by their restaurant? ”

In the midst of the noise, a chamberlain came in with a small milk dog, and Jun Qianyu's face was full of displeasure: "Father, the sons have great trust in Ningxi's craftsmanship, and the sons will never have any problems if they taste it, and they don't need this dog." ”

"It's the rule for the person who makes the puffer fish to take the first bite." Wu Shiqing also insisted.

The other people present were also interested, and opened their mouths to express their opinions, and the scene was chaotic, and no one noticed that at this time a small figure slipped out from behind the beaded curtain, silently, climbed up to a chair with both hands and feet, and then got up from the chair, clumsily picked up the spoon on the table beside him with his right hand, and then scooped out a piece of trembling fish meat from the steaming basin on the table, which exuded an enticing aroma, and sent it into his mouth clumsily, but without hesitation.

When you chew it, it's soft and tender, it's delicious!

Suddenly, the arguing group heard an exclamation: "He, he ate!" ”

Everyone's eyes were instantly focused on the pot of puffer fish on the table, and a chubby little white hand grabbed the spoon, reached into the basin and stirred it for a while, then scooped up a piece of fish meat and trembled.

Everyone followed the piece of fish and saw Xiao Shizi standing on the chair next to him, with his mouth wide open and trying to swallow the fish in one bite.

This is the eldest son of the prince, who just turned three years old last month, and today with the princess, watching the excitement behind the bead curtain, just now everyone's attention was attracted by the dispute in the hall, and he didn't pay attention to staring at him, Xiao Shizi was attracted by the cute little milk dog in the hall, and walked out of the bead curtain slowly, and then was attracted by the pot of fragrant puffer fish on the table, moved his little body and climbed onto the chair, scooped up the puffer fish meat and ate it.

"Can't eat it!" Wu Shiqing screamed loudly.

Xiao Shizi, who was originally smiling, was frightened by her scream, and with a shake of his hand, the fish in the spoon fell to the table, Xiao Shizi looked at the fish and meat blankly, and then looked at the adults around him who were eyeing him, and suddenly "wow" and cried.

Wu Shiqing rushed over frantically: "You spit it out, spit it out!" While shouting, he grabbed Xiao Shizi, put his finger into his mouth, and pulled it in hard, "Quick, spit it out, you spit it out for me!" ”

The prince rushed over and slapped Wu Shiqing heavily on the face: "You crazy woman, what are you doing!" Someone, pull her away. The splitter snatched Xiao Shizi over, hugged him in his arms and comforted him.

Soon someone came up and twisted Wu Shiqing's hands behind her back, but she still struggled frantically and shouted: "Hurry up and let the imperial doctor come, hurry up, otherwise he will die!" ”

Ning Xi suddenly said loudly: "Wu Shiqing, why are you so sure, this puffer fish is poisonous?" ”

Her voice was calm and clear, in such a noisy environment, she miraculously let everyone hear it, and then she quietly quieted down, looking at Wu Shiqing seriously, and the entire hall was only the sound of Xiao Shizi whimpering and sobbing.

The emperor slowly spoke: "Say, what's going on?" ”
