Chapter 67: Shinichiro Teraya

"Hehe, Lao Zhou, your face is big enough to invite the chef here." The stallion said as he drank Gyokuro tea, a specialty of Fuso.

"It's not that I have a big face, it's to give face to the Yueshi Group, and now they are preparing, I guess we will have to wait a little longer." Lao Zhou said.

"Lao Zhou, this shop should be some years old, it's boring to wait like this, just tell us about its history." I said that as an archaeology graduate, I am very interested in ancient things and want to know more about them.

"Okay, Master Ouyang, the first generation owner of this shop is a sumo wrestler, and he has made the 'sumo hot pot' in the sumo world into a high-end sumo hot pot suitable for restaurants to sell and sell to ordinary people. Their fugu sashimi is made of 'Shiro', the highest grade of fugu in Fuso. Every day, we open our doors and do business with the attitude of 'sincerity and sincerity, never deceive customers'. We do not compromise on ingredients, and we will give customers the best value ingredients, and there are private rooms for two and four people respectively. We can take our time here, and it's perfect for bringing family or important guests to eat here, and there is always a waiter to serve us with the dishes and other needs we need. Lao Zhou said like a treasure, he often comes here to eat, just like the hot pot restaurant that Uncle Kuan and I often go to.

"So, what kind of chef is this restaurant?" The stallion asked.

"Oh, you said Shinichiro Teraya, he's the third-generation manager of the Tiger Dolphin Pavilion, the son of the second-generation manager, and he's been cooking fugu for as long as he can remember. When the chairman was young, every time he came to Fuso, he would come to this restaurant for dinner. Lao Zhou replied.

"Hey, do you think this little devil is studying these poisonous things all day long because he is extremely short of resources and can't find anything to eat?" The stallion is still a little entangled in tetrodotoxin.

"Of course not, the big stallion, strictly speaking, eating puffer fish still originated in China, as early as 3,000 years ago, there were records of eating puffer fish in China. According to the record of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Classic of the North Mountains", more than 4,000 years ago, in the era of Dayu's water control, people along the lower reaches of the Yangtze River tasted pufferfish. More than 2,000 years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Wu Yue generation was rich in puffer fish, puffer fish liver was called 'Shih Tzu liver', and puffer fish essence nest was called 'Shih Tzu milk'. Li Shizhen also mentioned in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that the name of the puffer fish is "cerium fish", and the Wu people say that its blood is poisonous, the liver and tongue will be numb when eaten, and the stomach will be swollen after eating the roe, and the eyes will not be able to see anything after eating. This is because despite its cute appearance, its blood and internal organs contain toxins that can easily kill people. "I gave the stallion science a lesson.

I paused, took a sip of tea, and watched outside the door to see that there was no movement, and then said, "Actually, the ancient country of Fuso also banned the consumption of fugu for a time, and there are records of eating fugu as early as the Heian period (795-1192 AD). In modern times, the Fuso government banned the consumption of puffer fish because of the frequent cases of people being poisoned by eating puffer fish, and if it was discovered, all property was confiscated. It is rumored that the ban on Fuso people eating puffer fish was broken because of the modern politician Hirobumi Ito. Once, Hirobumi Ito accidentally ate fugu and found it particularly delicious, so he first lifted the ban on eating puffer fish in Yamaguchi Prefecture. In fact, some restaurants in China are also quietly selling puffer fish meat to eat, but the menu is not pufferfish, but 'bayu'. ”

"It's really impossible for any difficulty to stop a foodie's heart." The stallion sighed.

"Da~Da~Da~" While we were talking, there was a sound of clogs outside the door, and at the same time, there were two knocks on the door of the box, and then it was pushed open by the Fuso waitress just now.

A stout middle-aged man with a plain turban, a plain Japanese shirt and pants, and an apron wrapped around his waist walked in, followed by two people pushing a long mobile cooking stove behind him, and this person must be Shinichiro Terartani, the third-generation manager of Tiger Porpoise Pavilion.

"Zhou Sang, friends from afar, welcome!" Shinichiro greeted us in non-standard Chinese, and we smiled and nodded in response, people outside the country, you can't be rude.

"Haha, Shinichiro, thank you this time, if it weren't for the important guests specially explained by the chairman, I wouldn't have bothered you like this." Lao Zhou and Shinichiro exchanged pleasantries.

"None of this is anything, you just need to bring me a few more bottles of authentic Moutai next time you come, really." Shinichiro said that it seems that he had drunk a fake before.

"Okay, no problem, Shinichiro, is the best ingredient this time?" Lao Zhou asked.

"Of course, Zhou Sang, you know, puffer fish is a big family, there are hundreds of species, but there are only 22 of them that can be eaten. The 'Tiger Pufferfish' we serve is one of the most delicious of them all, and is known as the 'King of Pufferfish' by gourmets all over the world. Shinichiro said seriously.

"I heard that the distinguished guests brought by Zhou Sang this time asked to handle the puffer fish by themselves?" Shinichiro asked.

"That's what I asked." Taku said.

"Young man, you have to think clearly, the most experienced chefs dare not guarantee that there will be no accidents, you can't make a mistake in the process of dealing with puffer fish, you must know that the internal organs of puffer fish have a neurotoxin that can kill people, and some people have measured its toxicity, and its toxicity is equivalent to 1,250 times that of the highly toxic drug sodium cyanide! Do you still have to hold on? Shinichiro warned.

"Please show me which parts are poisonous." Taku's expression remained unchanged and he insisted.

"Otherwise, you might as well come, Shinichiro." Lao Zhou was a little shaken.

"Aisha-chan, go and get our antidote, what do you call this young man?" Shinichiro asked.

"My name is Dajiu Goudong, a Miao person from Miaojiang, China." Takutsu stood up and clenched his fists and said.

"Okay, I see, Dajiusan, here, here, and here, there is poison. When you clean up these places, you need to rinse them with water constantly, and then ~~" Shinichiro pointed to the belly, spinal blood, fin tail, liver, etc. on the body of the puffer fish that was gradually bulging in his hands, and explained to Tatsuku that these places all harbored deadly poisonous juices.

"Okay, thanks, I see, can I start?" Dajiu hooks up to be a fierce brother, whether it is cutting people or fishing, he is so confident.

"Okay, please let me see how the distinguished guests brought by Zhou Sang deal with the pufferfish, I'm looking forward to it." Shinichiro said with a twinkle in his eyes, as if he had a feeling of meeting an opponent in chess.
