"The little brother also knows this pufferfish?" The shopkeeper Yan glanced at her suspiciously, his eyes were full of surprise, "It is said that puffer fish is only found in the coastal areas around Yangzhou, and our host has only gotten a dozen of them with great effort, I don't know where the little brother recognized the puffer fish?" ”

Facing the doubts of the shopkeeper Yan, Gu Changning was not surprised at all, she looked like a poor boy when she was dressed, and the puffer fish is a high-end ingredient, and it is rare for ordinary people to see one in their lives, she only glanced at it superficially and could not bear that this was a puffer fish, and the shopkeeper Yan should naturally be suspicious.

However, Gu Changning is not afraid, anyway, the omnivorous book at home records the handling of many rare ingredients, if the shopkeeper has to ask, she can completely push it to this book.

Although there is no record of puffer fish in the original book, I don't know how many people have passed through the hands of that book, and it has been torn off by someone and lost directly.

It's fitting to think of those missing pages as information about pufferfish!

Even if someone still maintains a skeptical attitude, it is not proven, after all, the pages are gone, and she can't be asked to conjure up a new omnivorous book for them to read, right?

Gu Changning calmly replied to the shopkeeper Yan's words while thinking in his mind: "That's true, I haven't seen the appearance of puffer fish with my own eyes, but I have accidentally seen its image in my family's collection, and there is an inscription on it about the method of cooking this ingredient, which is definitely not like the chef just now." ”

She has never seen a puffer fish in her life, but in her previous life, she not only watched her godmother cook puffer fish step by step, but she also assisted herself, so she can be regarded as an experienced person.

The cook who was called "Godmother" by Gu Changning is a native of Yangzhou, and her father is also a cook, who grew up in the kitchen since she was a child, and has seen her father's cooking techniques for many ingredients, including puffer fish.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the chef will learn how to handle puffer fish.

People in other places don't know how popular fugu is, so there was a famous poet in history who left a sentence about eating puffer fish desperately.

It shows that even if you die, you can't give up the delicacy of puffer fish, which shows how popular it is, and it is also enough to prove how rare this fish is.

However, although the puffer fish has delicate and white flesh and a fatty taste, it still can't hide one of its biggest problems - it is poisonous.

A puffer fish carries enough toxins to kill 30 adults, so you must be careful in handling it, otherwise tragedy can easily occur.

This is also the reason why Gu Changning hurriedly stopped the cook.

If one is not handled properly, it will kill people!

However, she had only a few moments to scan the spacious kitchen, and when she saw that no one had an opinion on the cook, she knew that they did not know much about the ingredient.

This made Gu Changning feel strange, since he didn't understand, how could he think of buying it?

Just when Gu Changning was immersed in a moment of thought, the cook who was in charge of cooking the puffer fish spoke, his expression was not good, and there was a hint of mockery in his tone: "Shopkeeper, are you going to show kindness and bring a little beggar back to help with it?" Then don't pick everyone up, especially those who talk big, and they are not afraid to flash their tongues. ”

The puffer fish is only available in the waters around Yangzhou, and it is rare in the inland, and only Jiangnan people will eat it, so not many people know about it.

The cook couldn't help but feel ridiculous when he saw Gu Changning bragging about boasting that he had relevant atlas guidance, so he deliberately ridiculed her and ridiculed her, also to save his face.

As a chef, he was accused of cooking in person, isn't this smashing his signature? Of course, I feel uncomfortable in my heart.

The cook said it mercilessly, and he almost pointed at her and said that she didn't know how to pretend to understand nonsense, Gu Changning was a little annoyed at the moment, and his eyes, which were originally curious, were much colder, revealing an aura of not approaching people.

The puffer fish is highly poisonous in several places, and his indiscriminate handling of the fish will only stain the fish with venom and cause the diners to lose their lives in vain.

Shopkeeper Yan watched the confrontation between the two, frowned slightly, and hesitated a little in his heart.

He didn't know what the young owner's relationship was with this little brother, but this method of dealing with puffer fish was taught by the person who sold it to them at that time, so there could be no problem.

After thinking about this, Shopkeeper Yan had some opinions about Gu Changning, although he didn't show it, he could also detect it from his voice.

"Little brother, do you know, this puffer fish was sold to us by a young man yesterday, he is from Yangzhou, his family lives by the sea, and makes a living from fishing, because the puffer fish is very popular with diners in the south of the Yangtze River, so he came up with the idea of bringing the puffer fish to the inland to sell, but what he didn't expect was that the inland people didn't know what the puffer fish was, and there were very few people who bought it, and the puffer fish died all the way across the river, so he chose to sell it in the restaurant as a last resort."

Listening to Shopkeeper Yan's explanation to her, Gu Changning still had an expressionless face.

"When he came yesterday, he made a puffer fish for our host, and I can't forget the taste of the puffer fish, it is really delicious, the meat is fresh and smooth, no wonder it will become a dish that diners in the Jiangnan area like."

"And the way to deal with puffer fish, which this young man taught you?" Gu Changning seemed to have noticed something wrong, and asked the shopkeeper.

"Not bad." Shopkeeper Yan nodded.

Gu Changning frowned and fell silent.

It shouldn't be, this young man just made a puffer fish for the restaurant owner to taste yesterday, and the shopkeeper Yan also ate a few pieces, and it is all right now, which shows that the young man understands the way of cooking, how can he teach the chef here such a wrong way?

Besides, the methods he used to make this puffer fish were different from those he taught them, wouldn't the shopkeeper Yan be suspicious?

"And when he was cooking this dish in the kitchen yesterday, was anyone there?" Gu Changning didn't believe in evil and asked again.

Sitting in the corner of the kitchen, everyone in the kitchen who was shocked by Gu Changning's astonishing words before heard this.

A child is a child, and he doesn't know the doorway at all.

When the transaction is not confirmed, who will show their housekeeping skills in front of others, yesterday the young man naturally borrowed a stove alone to avoid everyone to cook.

Shopkeeper Yan paused for a moment and said, "No." ”

He had the same thoughts as the big ones, and it was not the slightest surprise that the young man had to cook by himself.

The chef who was pointed out by Gu Changning before that "the cooking method is wrong" also snorted coldly, and said without concealing it: "People rely on this to eat, how can they allow someone to be present to steal the teacher and learn the arts?" ”

Even this cooking method was only taught to him once, and of course he had to maintain the other party more.

"Little brother, you only said that the method of this dish is wrong, but you didn't say what is wrong and what the result will be." Shopkeeper Yan didn't hear the cook's words and continued to ask.

Gu Changning was stunned and said: "Many organs in the body of the puffer fish contain deadly toxins, one puffer fish can poison thirty adults, if the food is not properly managed, it will kill people." ”

The shopkeeper Yan's pupils suddenly constricted, and he stood in place with a dull gaze.

Puffer fish are poisonous?!

Before he could react, the cook standing in front of the board couldn't help but speak again, and mocked: "Hahahaha, your little brother is really interesting, big words are easy to come by, puffer fish are poisonous?" If it's really poisonous, how can we be okay after eating puffer fish yesterday? I see that you are young and do not know the importance of your speech, so I advise you not to play people like fools. ”

The shopkeeper Yan had a calm face and did not say a word.

He saw her speak clearly, articulately, and quite cleverly, but he didn't expect that she would be such a person, and the lie came as soon as she opened her mouth, and there was a trace of disgust in his heart.

If the puffer fish is really poisonous, how can I still be here today!

Gu Changning saw the displeasure in the shopkeeper's eyes, didn't explain much, and simply nodded and said: "That's it, there is no basis for what you say, if the shopkeeper doesn't believe it, you can call someone to catch a few live mice first, I can try to show you on the spot, if you think that I am open-mouthed and what I say is not enough to believe, then when I haven't said such a thing, we will take the money and leave after weighing the catties of dried fungus, and the silver and goods will be clear." ”

She didn't know who the person who sold it to this Chen Ji Restaurant, but judging from this person's practice, she was afraid that the enemy would come up with such a bad trick to set people up.

The people who enter the restaurant to eat are either rich or expensive, and if there is really something wrong with eating, the owner is afraid that he will not be picked up by this group of people.

Shopkeeper Yan didn't believe her words, but for some reason, after she finished speaking, the scales in his heart seemed to be shaken, he pondered for a moment, and then looked at Gu Changning's expression carefully, it didn't feel like it was fake, and he hesitated in his heart whether he should believe her.

After a while, Shopkeeper Yan thought of Chen Jinshu who was still in the lobby of the restaurant, and then thought of the young master's eyes when he saw Gu Changning for the first time, not the eyes of a stranger, and his hesitation immediately dissipated.

"Dafu, you go catch some live mice." The shopkeeper Yan directly gave an order.

When the cook heard this command, he knew that it was the shopkeeper who believed the boy's words, and his face changed greatly, his eyes widened, and he was surprised that even the tone of his voice changed, and he screamed, "Shopkeeper! This kid ......"

He was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"Okay, Ah Shui, I know what you're going to say, it's just a matter of trying, it doesn't hurt to let him do it, if it's fake, of course it's good, but if it's true, I'm afraid that the rest of our lives will be spent in prison, so it's good to be cautious."

After the shopkeeper Yan finished speaking calmly, he turned to look at Gu Changning, "But little brother, I want to remind you, there are only eleven or two puffer fish here, if they are not as ...... as you said."

"Then this puffer fish is mine, and I will buy it!" Gu Changning immediately picked up the conversation and said decisively.

In her previous life, she voluntarily sold herself into the prefect's house, and the lord took the family back to Beijing to report on her work after the end of her term.

At that time, there were merchants in Beijing who got this fresh puffer fish from the Jiangnan area, and because the puffer fish was delicious, it was very popular with the princes and nobles.

Of course, there are also rumors that eating puffer fish poisoned to death.

The prefect once got two puffer fish, and she knew about their toxicity because she had dealt with them with her godmother.

It was only because she had fed the rats the remaining poisonous entrails, and she saw them die not long after eating them, which showed how poisonous they were.

In fact, Chen Ji had nothing to do with her, so she didn't have to pay attention to it.

Because she knows very well that if a gun shoots a bird, Mu Xiufeng will destroy it.

Now the reason why she is willing to help is just to make a good relationship - to become one of the farmers who specially supply Chen Ji in winter.

Although she doesn't think that she will not be able to sell vegetables when she grows vegetables in winter, she also doesn't want to run to every restaurant, wasting time and energy, not to mention, and it is easy to cause trouble.

If it can be fixed in a restaurant to provide supply, it will not appear too high-profile and attract attention.

Gu Changning had her thoughts, so she decided to sell this restaurant well, so that it would be convenient in the future.

The reason why Chen Ji was picked was because when I saw Chen Jinshu for the first time, I felt that he had a clean temperament, which made people feel comfortable when they saw him.

Thinking of the dry fungus that is useless to the restaurant, he is willing to accept it, thinking that it is because of sympathy.

There is such a restaurant with a young owner, it shouldn't be dark, right?
