Chapter 70: The First Delicacy of Fuso
"Zhou Sang is right, it's shameful to waste food, and if you rinse puffer fish meat for too long, it will be unpalatable!" Shinichiro said.
"Boss Teraya, I've been looking forward to it for a long time after listening to Lao Zhou's introduction to your restaurant, so please show off your skills." I said.
"Okay, first the puffer fish sashimi, then the puffer fish pot." Shinichiro said.
Then he started making puffer fish sashimi non-stop.
"I've only eaten salmon and sashimi, can fugu be eaten raw?" The stallion asked.
"The way to make sashimi from a puffer fish is very common in Fuso. Because the flesh of the puffer fish has no spines and the meat is of excellent quality, it is perfect for making sashimi. Lao Zhou explained.
Shinichiro was concentrating on making fugu dishes without distractions at the moment, only to see that he delicately sliced the processed puffer fish meat into slices of crystal clear flakes, each slice not only unbroken, but also able to transmit light.
After slicing, Shinichiro arranged the puffer fish fillets into several different patterns, and a waiter next to him brought us a plate full of puffer fish fillets.
"Cranes, chrysanthemums, peacocks, and a plate of birds and phoenixes?" I asked.
"Ouyang Sang is right, this plate of birds and phoenixes is not usually put out, but only made for distinguished guests." Shinichiro said.
I couldn't wait to put several pieces of puffer fish meat in my mouth, it was moderately soft and hard, very tough, and there was no special peculiar smell, and the fish skin part had some elastic teeth, full of chewiness, smooth and tender taste, and I could taste the delicate umami flavor.
"It's better with some sauce, it's so good!" The stallion swallowed half of the puffer fish sashimi in one go.
"Big stallion, why do you eat ginseng fruit the same as Zhu Bajie? Taste and eat slowly, so many foreign friends are looking at you, pay attention to your demeanor, this tiger puffer fish should not be too cheap, Lao Zhou, how much are these puffer fish worth? "I said I felt the need to stop the stallions.
"500,000 Fusang coins, almost 30,000 yuan each, these pieces made into sashimi should be more than 100,000 yuan." Lao Zhou said with a smile while eating.
"Poof~" When the stallion was about to squirt out half of the puffer fish meat after swallowing it, he clenched his teeth and trapped it back into his body, and then adjusted his breathing and asked, "Isn't it, it's so expensive?" Wait a minute, there is also puffer fish hot pot, wouldn't eating a few fish use up two or three hundred thousand at once? ”
"Dumas San, the tiger pufferfish in our store are real wild pufferfish, absolutely guarantee the quality, we Fuso people never believe in good quality and low price, high-quality things, must be expensive, value for money, this is our careful production." Shinichiro said.
"Shinichiro is right, in Fuso Country, if anyone does business shoddy, or does not speak honestly, as long as there is a record, no one in the entire Fuso society will do business with him anymore, and he will have no way out except to beg." Lao Zhou said.
"Alas, although I don't have a good impression of Fusang, I have to admit that the gap is very big, and we still need to work hard." The stallion sighed.
Dajiu and I were silent, it was useless to talk more, let's eat.
"Haha, these problems are not something we can solve, and there is no need to dwell on them, the sashimi is almost eaten, just wait to eat the puffer fish hot pot." Lao Zhou said.
When we heard this, we once again focused our eyes on Shinichiro, who was cooking tiger puffer fish hot pot.
"If you make a hot pot with a puffer fish, you can not only make fish meat and skin, but also fish bones and some non-toxic or detoxified internal organs." As he did this, Shinichiro explained to us in his non-standard and sometimes inverted Fuso Chinese.
For people like me who are used to eating Shudu and Yuzhou butter spicy pot bottom hot pot, this is not so much a puffer fish hot pot as a puffer fish soup pot.
The process of making a fugu pot is much easier than making fugu and sashimi, and the processed fish and offal are cut into small pieces of 2 or 3 cm long, and then cooked with tofu, radish and other daily vegetables before eating.
We had just finished eating the cool puffer fish sashimi, and as we ate the hot puffer fish meat and drank the delicious puffer fish soup, I felt full of vitality and strength.
"That's hundreds of thousands of yuan, and I feel like I can blow up a planet with one punch." The stallion said vaguely with piping hot puffer fish meat wrapped in its mouth.
"You've read too many YY novels, right? I also hit a planet, I don't think I've ever eaten it yet, why don't I invite this one and a few more puffer fish? I said.
"The feeling of unfinished is the ultimate pursuit of gourmets, it's not good to overdo it, Master Ouyang, this meal is not over yet, the soup of the puffer fish hot pot is also wonderful, the porridge cooked with seaweed, eggs and rice, the original soup is turned into the original food, and it is also very delicious." Lao Zhou said.
Following Lao Zhou's explanation, Shinichiro poured a small bucket of rice cooked in advance into the cauldron of the stewed puffer fish pot, added various side dishes and stirred, and another person served it for us.
"It's also very tasty, but I always feel like something is missing." Taku said.
"Master Dajiu is right, there is one last dish, and it will be here soon." Shinichiro said.
"Oh? What kind of dish? Do you know Lao Zhou? I asked.
"It doesn't matter what he is, I like to eat, and the things that the chef makes are just different!" The stallion eats hi.
"I don't know, I didn't have any other dishes when I ate them before." Lao Zhou shook his head and said.
"Zila~" The sound of barbecue sounded on the board in front of Shinichiro, "It's so fragrant!" I've never smelled such a fresh smell of barbecue! The stallion shouted.
"Dumas San, this is not barbecue, it's a kind of white seed cuisine - salt-roasted white seeds, which I treasure, and what I get from the puffer fish caught in January every year, is a good thing for men, a tonic!"
"Baizi? What is that? "I had a vague feeling that it wasn't good.
"I know, I've only heard about it, I haven't eaten it, Shinichiro, you don't have this dish on the menu in your store, I've eaten it so many times, and I just took it out today, it's too unkind, right? Shirako is the nest of male pufferfish, and the period from January to March when the female spawns is the most delicious and expensive dish is also one of the most expensive. Shirako is used for grilling, deep-frying, and cooking with tofu is a high-quality way to eat. Lao Zhou said dissatisfiedly.
"Hehe, don't blame Zhou Sang, I don't know about other stores, in our store, only the most admirable people can eat this dish, and, today, didn't you also eat it?" Shinichiro explained.
"Isn't this the equivalent of a pufferfish's prostate? I'm a little struggling. The stallion said.
"You are entangled in a fart, when you were in Shudu, you were very happy to eat the bullwhip hot pot, and you confessed to the fish? Don't let your friends in the island country see the jokes. I said with contempt.
