Chapter 230: Fugu

After eating a meal, Li Yi was very satisfied.

Although Zhao Jinmai thinks that there is a gap between the crab roe soup dumplings and his Qiankun eggs.

But the crab roe he uses is not something that ordinary stores can afford, and the products of this tea house are already very good.

The only thing that made him dissatisfied was that the Gaoyou double yellow salted duck eggs served in the store were actually cut.

How can you cut salted duck eggs?

Isn't the soul of salted duck eggs the duck egg butter that comes out after knocking the big head open and then piercing it with chopsticks?

After cutting it, the oil flows everywhere, and the soul is gone!

But although it has no soul, the taste of salted duck eggs is still good.

Relying on a salted duck egg, Li Yi drank all the remaining white porridge.

When ordering, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai both felt that they had ordered too much.

But in the end, all the things on the table were eaten, and there was nothing left.

Even after eating, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai still felt a little unsatisfied.

Zhao Jinmai patted his stomach and said with a smile: "How do you feel that you have eaten so varied, but you are still a little unfed?" ”

"Actually, it's not much, the amount of breakfast here is more exquisite, the southern water town!"

Liu Yifei said with a smile, then looked at Li Yi and asked, "Where are we going next?" ”

"Yangzhong."

Li Yi said the destination.

"Where's Yangzhong?"

Zhao Jinmai is still not familiar with the cities in the south.

"Not far, along the Yangtze River to the east, dozens of kilometers away, just south of Taizhou."

Li Yi explained casually.

"Taizhou?"

Zhao Jinmai remembered what Li Yi said last night, suddenly realized, and asked, "Are we going to buy geese?" ”

"No, of course I went to Yangzhong to buy puffer fish."

Li Yi explained with a smile that one of the dishes he was going to make in the [Beauty Banquet] was puffer fish.

"Fugu?"

Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei's eyes widened in surprise.

"Is it the poisonous pufferfish?"

Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, or would it still be a dolphin?"

Li Yi joked with a smile.

"You want to cook with puffer fish?"

Liu Yifei was very surprised when she heard Li Yi's words: "Wouldn't it be a little dangerous?" ”

The most important thing in a restaurant is food safety, and if something goes wrong with eating, it's a disaster.

And the Chinese restaurant is a variety show for the national audience, if something happens, they are okay, Li Yi is the chef, it will really be over.

But Li Yi smiled lightly: "It's okay, the current farmed puffer fish is no longer poisonous." ”

What he didn't say was that even if it was poisonous, he wouldn't care.

In the dream space, he has even done wild poisonous puffer fish many times, and he is already familiar with how to deal with puffer fish.

Seeing that he was acting relaxed, Liu Yifei gradually put her mind at ease.

She still knows Li Yi well, Li Yi has never done things that he is not sure of, he said that it is okay, then he should be sure.

Zhao Jinmai's heart was relatively big, and when he heard Li Yi say that it was not poisonous, he immediately relieved his heart.

"Technology is really advanced! The puffer fish can be improved into a non-poisonous pufferfish. ”

She exclaimed, and then asked curiously, "Is Yangzhong's puffer fish famous?" ”

"It's not bad, Yangzhong has been holding a puffer fish festival in recent years, and it is still very famous."

Li Yi explained with a smile: "Puffer fish is one of the three fresh foods of the Yangtze River, and many places along the river in Jiangsu Province have the habit of eating puffer fish.

From Nantong and Zhangjiagang by the sea in the east, to Yangzhou in the west, as well as Yangzhong, it is very common to eat puffer fish.

Yangzhou also has a place to eat puffer fish, but it is not as large as Yangzhong, so if you want to purchase supplies, it is better to go there. ”

Hearing him say this, Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei were also interested, so they immediately got into the car and went straight to Yangzhong.

Yangzhou is only about 30 kilometers away from Yangzhong in a straight line, but because it has to cross the river and run at high speed, it has to go around a long road of more than 30 kilometers.

However, the scenery along the way of the Jiangnan water town is charming, and sitting in the car is not boring.

In the car, Zhao Jinmai was very curious about the puffer fish: "Who was the first person to eat puffer fish?" It is estimated that many people have to die to find out the correct way to make pufferfish, otherwise there would be no desperate way to eat pufferfish. ”

"There should be a lot, but before the Ming Dynasty, Jiangnan people had already mastered the method of eating puffer fish."

Li Yi explained: "The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records the information of puffer fish, saying that although it is precious, it can be repaired and treated without law, and it kills people when eaten.

Wu people said that its blood is poisonous, the child makes the abdomen distended, the eyes make the eyes dazzled, the puffer fish will not be edible, once soaked in water overnight as big as a gourd.

It is well documented where puffer fish can have toxins. ”

Liu Yifei listened nervously: "Puffer fish poison seems to be a neurotoxin, and high temperature can't destroy it." ”

"That's right."

Li Yizheng said: "Puffer fish poison will not be destroyed if it is steamed at a high temperature of 100 degrees for eight hours, and it cannot be destroyed by salting, wind and sun, and made into dried fish."

There was a case in a legal program before, an old couple died for no reason, just eating some salted fish.

After the final investigation, it was discovered that the fish had been mixed with the blood of the puffer fish during the handling and had been infected with puffer fish poison.

Although it was made into salted fish after being exposed to the wind and sun, the toxin was not removed, so the old couple was poisoned. ”

"Mom! It's scary! ”

Zhao Jinmai shuddered when he heard this, and was a little scared: "So, it's still very dangerous to eat puffer fish?" Who knows if there will be a few poisonous ones mixed in there? ”

"Don't worry about that."

Li Yi was relieved: "The puffer fish I used to eat were all wild puffer fish, which are very toxic and have been studied by researchers, mainly because puffer fish will swallow some organisms containing tetrodotoxin."

Wild puffer fish collect these toxins in their bodies, and then have a symbiotic relationship with wild puffer fish, which becomes a means for puffer fish to protect itself against natural predators.

But now the puffer fish is basically farmed pufferfish, and the farmed puffer fish eats prepared feed, which does not contain puffer fish poison, so the puffer fish cannot accumulate puffer fish poison in the body, and naturally it is not poisonous.

However, even wild puffer fish can completely remove toxins.

Wild puffer fish poison generally collects in the ovaries, eyes, blood, gills, and internal organs, but not in the flesh.

Therefore, as long as you pay attention to the technique when processing, do not destroy the blood vessels and internal organs in the body, and only take the meat, you can avoid toxin pollution.

In addition, as long as it is a restaurant that eats fugu, the chef will taste the soup before serving all the fugu to ensure the safety of diners.

If there is a real problem, it is the chef who has an accident first, which can give you plenty of time to rescue. ”

Listening to Li Yi's relief, Zhao Jinmai was stunned: "What does it mean to set aside enough rescue time?" Hearing you say that, I don't dare to eat it! ”
