Chapter Twenty-Six: Cooking for Tsunade
The Senju clan of the forest is the largest family in Konoha Village, but this was all evaluated a long time ago, and now the Senju clan has declined.
Since the death of the second generation Hokage in the First Ninja World War and the death of most of the ninjas of the Thousand Hands Clan in that war, the high-level strength of the Thousand Hands Clan has been reduced in an instant, and the strength has been reduced by one in ten.
However, in Konoha Village, the Thousand Hands Clan is still loved by the people, after all, what the second generation has done is visible to everyone.
And in order to show respect for the Thousand Hands Clan, the three generations would not normally set up a dark department in the territory of the Thousand Hands, after all, no one dared to be presumptuous in the territory of the Thousand Hands Clan.
When Shi Ming came to the territory of the Thousand Hands Clan with the rope tree, he couldn't help but sigh twice.
The first is admiration, admiration for the tall and domineering buildings here; The second was a sigh, lamenting that there were only a few dozen people in such a large building.
In the decades that followed, the Senju clan would continue to decline, and there would be no ninja other than Tsunade.
Across the courtyard and through the long aisle, Shi Ming came to a large courtyard, and at this time there was really a young girl waiting.
"Rope tree, is this your friend, so cute."
Tsunade is now just a double ten age, the best age in his life, and when he saw Shi Ming, he pinched his face.
"Oh, boy, how come you have a scar on your face?"
Tsunade saw the scar on Shi Ming's face, and it looked like it should have existed for a long time.
"Eldest sister, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take out the dishes, I have to rush home to exercise."
Shi Ming is not a child, he hates others pinching his face the most, if he hadn't been able to beat Tsunade, he would have slapped her in the face a long time ago.
Tsunade smiled, and then led Shi Ming to a kitchen.
There are a lot of ingredients in the kitchen, and the most conspicuous ones are, of course, a few puffer fish that are still alive.
Ishiaki was about to deal with the pufferfish, but Tsunade stopped him.
"Shi Ming, I know your cooking skills are good, I've heard of you these days, but this is the first time you've handled puffer fish, right?"
Tsunade meant that the first time Shi Ming handled the pufferfish, he would definitely not handle it so perfectly, so he offered to let his own chef handle it.
Pufferfish toxin is a colorless needle-like crystal, which is an acid-resistant and high-temperature resistant animal alkali, and is one of the most toxic non-protein substances in nature. This toxin is so powerful that even Tsunade only has half a chance of saving the poisoned person.
"Big sister, you don't trust me!"
Shi Ming was very angry, if he said that he was not so angry when he looked down on his combat strength, but it was simply insulting to look down on his cooking skills.
Who I am, I am a person with a food system, just a pufferfish, waiting for me to solve it in minutes.
"It's not that you don't trust, it's the first time you deal with it, but you can't joke."
Tsunade was still talking, and Shi Ming stepped forward and picked out a puffer fish and put it on the board.
"Whether it's okay or not, you have to try to find out."
Shi Ming abruptly pulled out the Melk kitchen knife, and then pressed the bulging puffer fish with his hand, killing it easily.
Then it is extremely skillful to remove the skin and guts, remove all the poisonous parts, and soon a white and flawless processed puffer fish is placed on the cutting board.
Tsunade and Rope Tree were simply stunned, didn't Shi Ming say that it was the first time to deal with puffer fish before, how could he be so skilled, it was as if he had dealt with it thousands of times.
Shi Ming liked their surprised eyes, and then he used a Melk kitchen knife to beat the puffer fish meat.
Generally speaking, fish are at their freshest within four to five hours of death, after which the meat becomes stiff and affects the taste. The puffer fish is different, its flesh is originally firm, and the flesh will soften after more than a day after death, and it is the best to eat at this time, and it is also the most smooth and tender taste.
Of course, Shi Ming won't wait so long, he naturally has his own methods.
Use the back of the Melk kitchen knife to hit every inch of the puffer fish with just the right amount of force, not only to make the puffer fish meat soften quickly, but also to be careful not to break the muscle fibers of the puffer fish.
Tsunade and Rope didn't know what Shi Ming was doing, but watching Shi Ming cook had a feeling of relief.
Ten minutes later, after the beating was over, the appearance of the puffer fish meat did not change at all, but the quality of the meat had changed drastically.
After that, it's time to make sashimi.
The meat of puffer fish is very elastic when eaten raw, and it is difficult to bite it off. Therefore, when making sashimi, try to cut it as thin as rice paper and crystal clear.
And Shi Ming's knife work, of course, is very good.
The puffer fish meat is quickly cut into thin slices, and the shape and thickness of each slice are the same.
Tsunade secretly exclaimed, if this kind of knife work was used in battle, then I don't know how many people's eyes would be blurred.
Later, when a plate of beautifully arranged sashimi was placed in front of the two of them, they had not yet reacted.
"Here, taste."
Shi Ming took the lead and ate a slice of puffer fish sashimi, which is also a must-do for every puffer fish cook.
If the chef is afraid to try his own fugu dishes, it will be the biggest irresponsibility to the diners.
When Tsunade tasted Shiming's cuisine, he had to say that there was no vanity under the fame.
That night, Kato came to see a table of exquisite dishes and couldn't help but admire.
"Wow wow, where are these dishes, it's a work of art."
Kato saw the fugu dish in the middle and was surprised, "Tsunade, do you still cook fugu?" ”
Tsunade blushed and said, "I'm a medical ninja, and driving out tetrodotoxin is what I'm good at." Don't just talk, eat the vegetables. ”
Kato was a little scared when he came over earlier, because he thought that with Tsunade's violent temper, the dishes he made were all dark dishes, and he didn't expect people to be unseemly.
"Come and drink this wine, I tell you, it's always delicious."
Tsunade poured Kato a glass of wine with a hint of color, and after drinking it, he bluntly said that it was extremely delicious.
On the other side, in the kitchen, Shi Ming and Rope Tree hid in it for dinner.
After listening to Kato's words, Shi Ming said to himself: "If you take a miracle cocktail that is not mixed with water and give it to you, wouldn't you turn the sky upside down." ”
Then Shi Ming picked up a piece of fried puffer fish skin with chopsticks, and the faint toxin stimulated the tip of the tongue, giving Shi Ming a unique delicious experience.
"Rope tree, why don't you eat it?"
Shi Ming pushed the fried puffer fish skin in front of the rope tree, but he avoided it like a tiger, did not dare to try it, and only ate other safe dishes.
"It's a coward."
There are not many toxins in the skin of puffer fish, and the toxins in the skin of young puffer fish are even less, and after frying, the danger is even lower, otherwise Shi Ming would not dare to eat it.
Take a bite of deep-fried puffer fish skin and a sip of a miracle cocktail mixed with water, and you'll be happy like a fairy on that day.
With a bang, Shi Ming heard the sound of falling to the ground next door.
No need to guess, it must have been one of them who was drunk.
And then there was another sound of falling to the ground, good guy, both of them were poured, what are you doing with so much wine, and what are you doing to be ashamed of yourself.
