Seeing Zhao Jinmai's frightened face, Liu Yifei smiled and said to Li Yi: "Don't scare her, so she won't dare to eat it." ”

Seeing this, Li Yi smiled and joked at Zhao Jinmai: "You are so afraid, don't eat secretly at noon!" ”

Zhao Jinmai hugged his legs and shrunk on the seat, but said stiffly: "Why don't you eat?" I'll see you eat first, and I'll eat it when it's okay after eating, hum! ”

"Huh? Pretty smart. ”

Li Yi smiled: "Then you have to keep an eye on it, don't wait for me to finish eating and you don't even move your chopsticks." ”

Seeing him and Zhao Jinmai arguing, Liu Yifei smiled helplessly and looked out the window.

The car has driven onto the Taizhou Bridge, and the Yangtze River is vast outside the window, and the freighters are slowly transporting goods in the middle of the river.

Li Yi also noticed the Yangtze River outside the window, looking at the rolling river, he sighed softly: "Fortunately, we are in modern times, if it is in ancient times, this season, you can't eat puffer fish at all." ”

"Why?"

Zhao Jinmai was puzzled.

"Do you remember Su Shi's poem?"

Li Yi reminded her: "There are three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo." ”

He made a start, and Zhao Jinmai continued: "The prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river, the reed buds are short all over the ground, and it is the time when the puffer fish wants to go." ”

"That's right."

Li Yi said with a smile: "Wild puffer fish all migrate from the sea to the Yangtze River basin to spawn at the beginning of spring.

Therefore, before and after the Qingming Festival, it is the best time to eat puffer fish, when the puffer fish is the fattest, the most delicate meat, but also the most toxic.

However, now they are all farmed puffer fish, so there is no need to think about migration, and there are puffer fish that can be eaten all year round. ”

Zhao Jinmai nodded thoughtfully, and then smiled: "It's fun to think about, the first time I heard about puffer fish, it was the teacher who told us this poem."

I didn't expect Su Shi to be able to connect with us in this way after thousands of years, which is amazing. ”

Speaking of this, she seemed to think of something, and said with a smile: "At that time, I had never seen a puffer fish, and I thought it was a finless porpoise, so I always thought that humans were so cruel and actually ate such cute creatures." ”

Liu Yifei smiled when she heard this: "The puffer fish itself is also very cute!" It's puffing up, like a ball. ”

"That's right!"

Zhao Jinmai sighed: "Why is it that the more cute things are, the more delicious they are?" ”

When she sighed, the car had already driven off the bridge.

Yangzhong is a city built on Jiangxin Island, which is the largest island in the Yangtze River basin.

As soon as you enter the city, you can already see the fugu house on the side of the road.

In the city center, the puffer fish house is one after another.

However, Li Yi already had a goal, and directly let the driver navigate to the Changshun Puffer Dolphin House.

Changshun Puffer Fish House is also quite famous in Yangzhong, and the owner Changshun is nicknamed "Desperate Guy", who used to be the chef of Yangzhong Hotel.

In his shop, eating puffer fish meat is secondary, and the diners who come to his store are all coming for "eating poison".

The specialty of his shop is to eat puffer fish liver, puffer fish mouth, puffer fish head, puffer fish eye, and Shih Tzu milk.

These parts are all poisonous, and if it is a wild pufferfish, you will get a little bit of it.

But Li Yi came for this, so when he came to Yangzhong, he went straight here.

The biggest pain point of the old store is that it is not easy to park, the driver walked around the neighborhood for a long time, but did not find a parking space, so he put Li Yi and the film crew down first.

Zhao Jinmai looked at the puffer fish houses all over the street, and the tension in his heart dissipated a lot.

Since you can open so many stores, it should still be very safe, right?

Li Yi had a clear goal, and after getting out of the car, he went straight to the Changshun Puffer Fish House.

Entering the gate of the puffer fish house, Li Yi saw many diners.

It's not time yet, but the fuguchi house is almost full.

They are obviously not the only ones who dare to eat puffer fish desperately, in the hall and in the box, many gourmets are already familiar with the order.

Seeing him come in with a camera with a long gun and a short cannon, the owner of the puffer fish house hurriedly greeted him.

Just as he was about to say hello, the boss was taken aback when he saw Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai who came in with him.

Although there have been many media and celebrities in his store, it is the first time that a star of Liu Yifei's level has appeared.

So, he suddenly became a little enthusiastic, and directly invited Li Yi into the largest box along with Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai.

Zhao Jinmai looked around curiously, and hurriedly asked the boss: "Boss, your puffer fish is not poisonous, right?" ”

The boss laughed when he heard it, and he had to answer this kind of question dozens of times a day.

He said: "Our puffer fish is definitely not poisonous, you can rest assured that our family has been open for more than 50 years since my father's time, and basically nothing has happened."

If you want to ensure that there is no poison at all, you can order non-toxic farmed puffer fish, which can guarantee that it is absolutely non-toxic.

If you want to challenge the wild pufferfish, no problem, our chefs are professionally trained, get a certificate, and will definitely handle it cleanly, which is responsible for you and ourselves. ”

Hearing his introduction, Li Yi smiled and asked, "Can your chef still get a certificate?" ”

"Of course you have to have a certificate!"

The boss smiled: "Our certificates are all common to the whole country, go to Jingjiang, go to Hai'an, as long as there is a restaurant to make puffer fish, with our certificate, you can be exempted from the examination."

In order for our chefs to become a chef, they must pass a written exam and a practical exam.

In the practical exam, the chef will be asked to perfectly break down a puffer fish in 20 minutes and cut out at least 88 thin slices of puffer fish.

If the heart of the puffer fish is still beating after decomposing it, then it can be considered a perfect clearance. ”

When Li Yi heard this, he looked at Zhao Jinmai with a smile and asked, "How is it?" That's reassuring, right? ”

"Well, I'm relieved."

Zhao Jinmai said with a smile: "Then give us two breeding!" ”

She still chose to be safe.

However, Li Yi had expected it and did not force it.

Without looking at the menu, Li Yi said to the boss: "Burn me a wild one!" A full puffer fish feast. ”

"Okay."

The boss nodded, body type: "The wild ones are all chilled pufferfish, they are caught from the sea, the meat is not as delicious as farmed, and the price may be a little more expensive, is it acceptable?" ”

"Yes, no problem."

Li Yi smiled: "As long as the taste is delicious, it doesn't matter if the money is made." ”

"Then wait a minute! It's about an hour. ”

The boss said the time and turned to leave.

Watching the boss leave, Liu Yifei finally couldn't help but ask Li Yi worriedly: "Do you want to eat wild puffer fish?" Aren't you afraid of being poisoned? ”

"I'm afraid."

Li Yi got up with a smile: "So I'm going to go to the kitchen to take a look and stare at the cook." ”

When Liu Yifei heard this, she also hurriedly got up: "I'll go with you." ”

"I'll go too."

Zhao Jinmai didn't want to be left alone, so he also got up and followed.

So, Li Yi and the three of them all came to the kitchen.

After getting the boss's permission, they took the camera and went into the back kitchen.

There are six stoves in the kitchen, and in front of each stove stands a cook, burning pufferfish.

A cook slaughters puffer fish in front of the vegetable washing sink, and the large basin in front of him is full of farmed puffer fish with flower backs.

Li Yi reached into the basin, pinched the skin on the back of a puffer fish, and picked it up.

Sensing the danger, the puffer fish made a strange sound like a fart, sucked air into its body, and soon sucked itself into a spiky balloon.
