The next morning.

Jiao. The cold wind in the suburbs seemed to be even colder, blowing in the face and making it painful.

A large wooden shed was erected beside a quietly flowing stream, and in front of it was a white cloth, under which lay a long table, a small table, and a large stove, which was at least three meters away. Standing in the wooden shed, there was a handsome man squatting by a wooden basin by the stream to wash things.

There are still more than twenty guards with knives around, and under the cold wind, the face is even more cold.

Outside the shed, there were two teenagers in their twenties, and inside the shed were these two old men and two middle-aged men, four of them on the edge of a large brazier, but the cold wind squeezed in through the cracks in the wood still blew and shivered.

"Shopkeeper Wu, is this kid Li Qi deliberately trying to fix us, isn't he just a pufferfish, Qianma wants to do it here, and the old man is cold." An old man said very unhappily.

This is Cai Jing, he just wants to taste this pufferfish, but he didn't expect Li Qi to invite him to this wilderness, if it is good, it is a good choice, but this ghost is angry to run to the suburbs, this is simply looking for guilt.

As for the remaining three, they are naturally Gao Yu, Wu Furong and Cai Yong.

Wu Furong never dreamed that he would be able to sit with these two in his lifetime, he couldn't help but tremble a little, and hurriedly said: "Master Tai doesn't know, Master Li did this for our sake, I remember that last time a guest officer came to the shop with a pufferfish, and as a result, the guide zhì shop lost dozens of times. ”

Gao Yu smiled: "Oh? And such things, then you can tell us about them. ”

Wu Furong cut corners and told them about Yue Fei's arrival last time.

After listening to it, I understood why Li Qi did this.

In fact, this place was chosen by Li Qi a long time ago, if not for anything else, because of this creek, cleaning pufferfish is a very important step, and it must be cleaned with live water, but there is no running water pipe these days, and the creek and river are the only living water.

Cai Jing is getting colder and colder the more he sits, Qian Crisp got up and went outside with Cai Yong, wanting to see if Li Qi had finished washing, seeing Li Qi still squatting by the river, and seeing his two little apprentices, holding pens and paper to record something. Curious, he walked over and asked, "Two little masters, what are you doing?" ”

Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Dazhu saw Cai Jing coming out and hurriedly saluted. Wu Xiaoliu said: "If you come back to Taishi, we are checking the number of cooking utensils brought by Jinri, as well as whether they are damaged, leaking, and clean. ”

"Cooking utensils?"

Cai Jingleng paused and said, "Do you still need to take notes on this?" ”

Wu Xiaoliu bowed his head and said: "This is what Brother Li ordered, he said that all the cooking utensils for cooking pufferfish must be checked clearly and remembered firmly, so as not to omit it, we are afraid that we will not be able to remember, so Qian Crisp wrote it down." ”

Cai Jing nodded as if he didn't understand, looked at the long table, and saw that there were a few bowls and a pair of scissors, not even a kitchen knife. Then he asked, "Don't you use a kitchen knife and spices to cook this pufferfish?" ”

Wu Xiaoliu replied: "Yes, Brother Li said that there are too many tools for fear of confusion, so only a pair of scissors is used to cook pufferfish, and the seasonings are now in this small box, and they will be taken out when they are ready to be used." As he spoke, he pointed his hand to the small wooden box beside him.

"Just a pair of scissors?"

It was the first time Cai Jing had heard such strange rules, and asked with a smile: "What about you?" It's just a pair of scissors, what do you use? ”

Wu Xiaoliu said: "Brother Li said, cooking pufferfish can only be completed from beginning to end, and we are just watching from the side, making a fire." ”

A pair of scissors that do not allow interference. Cai Jing was puzzled in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "You White Spoon Master still have a lot of rules. ”

Chen Dazhu said: "Brother Li said that this is the pufferfish rule, which includes the basic 36 basic processes and 18 processing processes. ”

"Pufferfish rule?"

Cai Jing laughed and said, "This rule is really interesting, interesting." ”

"Master, this is no fun, only a strict process can cook non-toxic and delicious pufferfish." Li Qi walked over with the wooden basin, his hands were already red from the cold, and his expression was very stern.

In terms of eating, Cai Jing has always been at a disadvantage, so he didn't dare to say more, nodded and looked into the basin, but saw that there were two oval fish in the basin, the abdomen of the two fish was orange and yellow, and there was a black spot above the pectoral fin and at the base of the dorsal fin, and the anal fin was yellow. "Is this a pufferfish?" ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "This is the Oriental pufferfish." ”

Cai Jing nodded, seeing that these two fish were very cute, he shook his head and said, "I didn't expect such a cute fish to contain highly poisonous." ”

At this moment, Gao Yu and Wu Furong also walked out, and it seemed that they both wanted to see how Li Qi cooked this pufferfish.

Li Qi re-entered the grid and came out again, and said without any scruples: "If you want to see it, please stand far away, and you can't make noise at will, so as not to disturb me, and you can't touch everything here." ”

It was the first time Gao Yu saw Li Qi who was so strict, and he couldn't help but be stunned, this tone was clearly the tone of the boss to his subordinates.

Cai Jing was not surprised, and said: "Okay, okay, let's just stand far away and watch, don't worry, we will never disturb you." ”

Gao Yu smiled bitterly, and Cai Jing and the others went to the outside of the shed, standing five meters away from the long table to watch.

Li Qi ignored them and said to the two disciples, "Is the inspection finished?" ”

Wu Xiaoliu said: "All of them have been checked, and there are no mistakes or omissions." ”

"Let's get started."

Richie placed a pufferfish on the board, belly side up, and cut the belly through the cloaca to the head, he cut it very carefully, the knife was very important, if it cut the internal organs, it would be a failure.

After the cut, Richie stopped and asked, "Do you remember what pufferfish have in their bodies that are highly poisonous?" ”

Although Li Qi's pufferfish rule is completed by one from beginning to end, but two more people are on the side to supervise, it is better after all, and this is the only role that Wu Xiaoliu can play, so some of the previous years, Li Qi taught them some basic knowledge of cooking pufferfish whenever he was free, but this is the first time to practice.

Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Xiaozhu replied in unison: "Internal organs, fish roe, blood, fish eyes." ”

Li Qi listened and his brows sank. Chen Xiaozhu said: "In addition, pufferfish that are difficult to distinguish between male and female, their xing glands are all eliminated. ”

Li Qi nodded, and then glared at Wu Xiaoliu slightly. Then he saw that the internal organs were taken out one by one, and one internal organ was removed, and he asked the two apprentices to write down the appearance of the internal organs, and then gouged out the eyeballs, removed the gills, and peeled the skin, and each internal organ was placed in a bowl.

According to the law, the guts of the second pufferfish were all taken out. After finishing a qiē, Wu Xiaoliu suddenly said, "Brother Li, there is still one less fisheye." ”

Li Qi smiled with satisfaction and nodded: "Yes, yes, you must remember that when the internal organs are taken out, you must carefully check them to see if there is anything missing, if the fish eyes and fish roe fall into the fish meat, it will be over." With that, he threw the fisheye hidden in his hand into the bowl, and carefully and repeatedly examined the two pufferfish, and after confirming that they were correct, Li Qi and the two apprentices carried the long table directly to the river.

When he came to the river, he first buried all the poisonous internal organs except the liver into the pit that had been dug a long time ago, and then began to clean the pufferfish, he did not dare to put the blood into the creek, Bi Jing had a lot of unhygienic entry in these years, and liked to take water to drink on the spot, so he could only rely on Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Xiaozhu to take turns scooping water from the creek to clean the pufferfish and pufferfish liver.

Wu Xiaoliu carefully poured the water and asked, "Brother Li, didn't you say that this liver is the most poisonous internal organ of pufferfish, why do you still keep it?" ”

Li Qi said: "Although this liver is highly poisonous, it is the place where the pufferfish is located, and without it, the pufferfish will lose its taste." ”

Washing is the most tedious and indispensable process of cooking pufferfish.

Li Qi thoroughly washed the pufferfish and liver, and after confirming that they were correct, he put them into two unused bowls, then took off his apron, washed his hands, and ordered him to look at the long table and the dishes, chopsticks, scissors and other items, and never allowed anything to be touched, because of time constraints, he could only rinse them later.

Cai Jing and the others felt tired when they stood on the sidelines and watched, and while they were by the river, Cai Jing whispered: "I didn't expect this pufferfish to be so troublesome." ”

Gao Yu cried and laughed: "I have never seen such a cook, and I feel tired when I look at it." ”

Li Qi came to the big stove, took out a set of unused cooking utensils, put on a new apron and gloves, looked at the hourglass placed on the ground, saw that the sand had not leaked out, breathed a sigh of relief, the first step of cooking is to check whether the puffer fish is cooked in the pot within 1 hour after slaughtering and washing.

There are many ways to prepare pufferfish, but Li Qi chose to fry it.

Pour oil into a cold pan, after a while, put some garlic in the pan, and then cut the liver into thin slices with a thickness of 0.5-1 cm, and put it in a medium temperature oil pan.

Seeing this, Wu Xiaoliu said curiously: "Brother Li, can frying eliminate the pufferfish toxin?" ”

Li Qi said: "High temperature, to be exact. However, this is the first time I practice, for the sake of safety, I first fried the liver to detoxify and then put the fish, in fact, this way, the umami will still lose a lot, the real practice is to put the fish and liver into the pot together, you can see it after two years. ”

Wu Xiaoliu stuck out his tongue and said, "Brother Li, then when will we be able to cook this pufferfish?" ”

Li Qi said: "It will take at least three years. ”

"Three years?"

Wu Xiaoliu and Chen Dazhu looked at each other.

After a while, a rich aroma emanated from the pot.

Just a strange fragrance made Cai Jing feel that the wait for half an hour was worth it, twitched his nose a few times, wiped his mouth vigorously, they all wanted to ask Li Qi how long he still had to wait, but they didn't dare to ask, so they could only stand aside honestly and wait.

Wait for the liver slices to be fried and turn yellow, add the pork belly and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the pufferfish and continue to stir-fry. Add Shao wine, sauce, sugar, mussels, salt, and broth, bring to a boil over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

7. When ripe, put in the fish skin and fish ribs, and after cooking, collect the soup on high heat.

Put oil, salt and water to boil, blanch the seedlings that have been prepared for a long time, put them at the bottom of the plate, and then pour the pufferfish meat into the plate, the oily pufferfish meat is full of fragrance. Li Qi let out a long breath, wiped his sweat, turned his head to Cai Jing and said, "Taishi, Taiwei, you can eat." ”
