Just when the officials of the organizer of the competition were about to announce that Han Xiangfei had won the first place in the cooking competition, Han Xiangfei suddenly stood up and said that he couldn't win this award. Why don't you want to win a prize, why do you come to participate in the competition?

The official's face changed, and he was about to angrily reprimand him for messing around, but Han Xiangfei said, "Please calm your anger and let the grass people explain the reason." ”

"Okay, you say!" The official still loved him very much, and wanted to hear what he had to say.

I only heard Han Xiangfei say: "On that day, the grass people drew lots to get the name of the dish 'Shazhou Tacui', and they couldn't understand it for many days, and they happened to meet Ningxi girl one day, all by her suggestion, the grass people knew that in the desert area, Shazhou is the name of the camel, so they can think of using camel paws to make this dish, it can be said that if there is no Ning girl, this vegetable grass people will never be able to make it, so the grass people really don't dare to be cheeky to get this award, this big brother Rong is well deserved." ”

Rong Daquan also shook his head and said: "In fact, my 'Red Plum Xiangzhu' was also inspired by a dish that Ningxi once cooked, if Brother Han said that he didn't dare to win this award, then I wouldn't dare to, these days, if it wasn't for following Ningxi's side, which made me benefit a lot in cooking, how could I have this level of cooking today, if I want to be honest, it must be Ningxi." ”

These words made the audience curious, who is this Ningxi girl who is highly respected by the two skilled chefs? Some people who watched the first two games came out to explain: "This Ning Xi is the little girl who scored first in both the preliminary round and the semi-finals." ”

"It's a little girl? Then why didn't she come to the finals? Could it be that there is some unfair inside story in it? The voices of doubt gradually increased, and the audience asked the organizer to explain why Ningxi, who had the best cooking skills, could not participate in the finals.

In fact, the organizer also felt very wronged, such a young female chef, what a good publicity stunt, obviously she had to withdraw from the competition.

When he was making a noise, a waiter suddenly ran in in a panic: "My lord, it's not good, someone is coming to kick the hall!" ”

"What's kicking, let's be clear."

"Yes, it's a widow who came with an apprentice, clamoring to come and challenge."

At this time, the visitor had already broken in, and it was really a middle-aged man about forty years old, wearing a dark kimono, followed by a man in his twenties, holding a wooden barrel in his hand, and striding in with a proud face.

Ning Xi saw that it was actually Taichi Ito, who had a relationship with each other at the beach last time.

Meng Shuangshuang nervously grabbed Ning Xi's hand: "Ning Xi, what is this person doing?" ”

Ning Xi said: "I'm afraid it's coming for me, it's not good!" ”

"What then?"

"It's okay, then he will be defeated for a while, and he is not enough to worry about."

Taiichi Ito and his apprentice stood directly on the stage, and the officials on the stage shouted: "Who is here, dare to be so arrogant? ”

The young man said: "Master Ito is the first person in my Yamato national cuisine, and I have traveled abroad, and I have recently passed by this place, and I feel that the food in your place is coarse, and I want to show the people of my Yamato national cuisine, so I dare to come to challenge." This man spoke Chinese fluently.

Being insulted like this, no one could bear it, Han Xiangfei said angrily: "The land of projectiles also dares to speak out, let you see today, what is the real food." ”

The young man shook his head proudly: "It's up to you, it's not worthy of our Master Ito to do it himself, what we want to challenge today is a girl named Ning Xi." ”

"Ningxi?" The eyes of everyone on the stage couldn't help but look towards Ning Xi's direction.

Ning Xi had to stand up: "Then I'll come and learn about this Mr. Ito's cooking skills!" After speaking, he also walked up to the stage and hugged his fists at the other party, "Mr. Ito, we met again, what's the matter, is it because you lost in the sashimi competition last time, and you are not convinced?" ”

When the audience heard this, they cheered.

Ito's face suddenly looked bad, and his apprentice said: "We are guests from afar, and the topic of this competition is proposed by us, you should have no opinions, right?" ”

"No, it's unfair." Rong Daquan said angrily.

Ning Xi smiled slightly: "Okay, it's up to you to decide the topic." ”

"Ningxi!" Rong Daquan called her anxiously.

"Don't worry!" Ning Xi said confidently, from the first meeting, she could see that Ito Taiichi has an impetuous temperament and likes flashy things, such a person can't sink his heart to really study the way of cooking, so she believes that no matter how good this person's cooking skills are, she is still sure that she can beat him.

"Then do this!" The young widow put the wooden barrel that he had been carrying in his hand in front of Ning Xi, "Pufferfish! ”

Ning Xi was startled, and looked up at Taichi Ito, but saw a smug smile on the corner of his mouth: "How is it?" If you don't dare, say loudly three times in public, 'Da Zhou's food is not as good as Dongying'. ”

He came prepared this time, since he lost to Ning Xi on the beach last time, Ito Taiyi was angry and always wanted to find a chance to take revenge, so he had been paying attention to Ning Xi's movements, knowing that she had drawn the dish "Shih Tzu Milk" in the final of the cooking competition, and she actually withdrew from the competition, and the sensitive Ito Taiichi immediately guessed that Ning Xi would not dare to make this dish.

Toei also has a tradition of eating puffer fish, but puffer fish is highly poisonous, and if you are not careful when cooking, it will make the fish contain toxins, so it has been a rule since ancient times that the first bite of puffer fish meat must be tasted by the chef who cooks the puffer fish, but even if you are careful, there are times when you are careful and there are hundreds of secrets, so there are dozens of chefs who die every year because of eating poisonous puffer fish.

Ito Taiyi expected that Ningxi would not dare to make pufferfish, probably because he didn't dare to eat this first bite of pufferfish, this situation is also common in Toei, and many chefs with superb cooking skills, especially women, really don't have the courage to cook pufferfish.

It was precisely because he grasped this point that he dared to break into the door at this time, wanting to give Ning Xi a dismount.

Ning Xi was silent for too long, Jun Qianyu felt that something was wrong, it stands to reason that she shouldn't be so hesitant, and then she heard some noise next to her, and turned her head to look, it turned out that Meng Shuangshuang wanted to rush up regardless of it, but was stopped: "Girl, don't be impulsive, you really can't go up." ”

"Let go of me, they're bullying!" Meng Shuangshuang said eagerly.

Jun Qianyu motioned to the people beside him to bring Meng Shuangshuang over: "What's the matter?" ”

Meng Shuangshuang said: "Lord Yu, you must help Ningxi, they must have done it on purpose, they must have heard that Ningxi didn't dare to be a pufferfish, so they specially said this." ”

"Oh? Why didn't she dare to be a puffer fish in Ningxi? ”

"Because someone had eaten the puffer fish made by Ning Xi before, and was poisoned to death, this incident left a big shadow on Ning Xi, and since then she has not dared to make puffer fish again, and the dish she drew lots for this competition is the puffer fish, so she will quit."

Jun Qianyu was shocked in his heart: "I see. ”

He just wanted to speak out and stop this competition, when he suddenly heard Ning Xi say: "It's better, you want us to admit defeat, daydreaming!" Her voice was as steady as ever, and no one knew that she had the courage to say this when she pinched her thighs with her fingers.

The two puffer fish brought by Taiichi Ito are both male and female, and the puffer fish is divided into male and female dolphins, and there are sperm nests and ovaries in the body, and the ovaries are highly poisonous, while the sperm nest is non-toxic and edible.

The puffer fish nest is commonly known as fish white, which is also known as Shih Tzu milk, and is the most delicious thing about puffer fish.

Ito Taiichi picked the female puffer fish first, and Ning Xi took the male one, the male puffer fish has a sperm nest on it, which can just be used as a rouge Shih Tzu milk.

Ning Xi forced himself to be calm, calm, try to hold his hands steady, disembowelment and remove the organs of the puffer fish, under the fish slices, repeatedly rinse it with running water, until the fish is snow-white and bloodless before it can be used, the same is true for fish white, first remove the surrounding blood, then add a little salt and alum, rub off the mucus, rinse it repeatedly, and then change the water and soak it several times before it can be eaten safely.

It seems to have returned to the time when I first learned the arts, paying attention to everything, being careful, not deep or shallow when the knife is made, and never touching the places that should not be touched.

The rinsed fish meat and fish white were carefully checked, and there was no blood, Ning Xi finally settled down and began to cook.

Add seasonings to the drawer and steam, cook the spoon, cook the condiments, beat the broth and then refine it with a spoon, color the red soup boiled out of the amaranth, then collect the juice and thicken it, and turn it out of the spoon with pepper oil.

Finally, Ningxi presented a plate of fragrant and beautiful dishes - rouge Shih Tzu milk.

At this time, Ito Taiyi's dish is also ready, it is a puffer fish cabbage soup, the puffer fish is fresh and sweet, and it is also a delicious dish with the tender choy sum, but between the snow-white fish meat and the green cabbage sum, there are small red dots, and if you look closely, it is actually a puffer fish egg.

Ning Xi was stunned: "This fish roe ......" The fish roe is poisonous and cannot be eaten, even if he is eager to win, he should not be so bold.

Taiichi Ito really didn't plan to use puffer fish roe to cook, but he didn't expect Ning Xi to agree to compete with him, he knew Ning Xi's craftsmanship, and in order to increase his chances of winning, he had to take the risk of using fish roe that was poisonous, but the taste was also extremely delicious.

Taiichi Ito: "The caviar is not too toxic, after a long time of cooking, only a small part of the toxicity remains, and it will not be fatal, but will produce a slight feeling of dizziness when eating, which makes people feel fluttering." ”

Ning Xi said: "But how much toxicity remains is extremely difficult to control, how can you ignore the safety of people's lives for the sake of that ethereal feeling?" ”

Taiichi Ito smiled disdainfully and said, "The first bite of this dish I made with my own hands is, of course, I tasted it myself, why, Miss Mo Feining didn't dare to eat the puffer fish you made yourself?" ”
