The school mentioned by the boss is the local puffer fish cooking training center in Yangzhong, which is jointly run by the local puffer fish association and the culinary catering industry association.

The judges of the training center are all senior old puffer fish masters like the boss.

The puffer fish masters in Yangzhong basically follow the skills learned by these old puffer fish masters, and they know each apprentice.

Therefore, after seeing Li Yi's fresh face, several masters were full of doubts.

Especially when he saw the film crew following behind Li Yi, and Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai, the two stars, several masters looked at each other and called the boss over.

"Lao Zhou, don't mess around! Has this young man ever studied, and you let him take the exam? ”

"That's right! What if something happens? ”

Seeing their questioning, the boss hurriedly helped Li Yi make a guarantee: "Don't worry!" Will I bring someone to the test casually?

I watched him handle a chrysanthemum dolphin, which he slaughtered, cooked, and ate by himself, and nothing happened.

You can tell from looking at it that this young man is very clean, better than the masters in my shop. ”

Seeing him say this, several old masters dispelled some doubts and came to Li Yi again.

Glancing at the camera behind Li Yi, Chef Zheng, who served as the vice president, said solemnly: "Young man, let me remind you that the puffer fish license of our association is common throughout the country, and the requirements and difficulties are relatively high.

You may have learned some ways to deal with puffer fish, but if you want to get a puffer fish license, I recommend that you learn from our professional master for a while. ”

"I understand."

Li Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Can I give it a try?" If I don't meet the requirements, then I'll stay and learn from the master, okay? ”

Hearing him say this, the faces of several old masters softened a little.

It seems that this kid is still measured, which is much better.

They are most afraid of meeting young chefs who don't know the height of the sky and have no reverence for puffer fish, and they would rather not teach such chefs so as not to harm others.

After returning to communicate, the vice president explained the content of the exam to Li Yi: "Our exam content is divided into two parts, the first part is the theoretical knowledge test, and the second part is the practical operation.

The content of the theory test is to identify all the puffer fish species living along the coast and in the Yangtze River basin, and to point out their respective physiological toxicity, and the identification time for each puffer fish should not exceed five seconds.

The hands-on part is to process a wild puffer fish caught in front of us and make three dishes in two hours to eat by ourselves.

For each step, we have time requirements, if you are sure that you can complete it, then we will start the exam, if you are not sure, you can also choose to give up, we have systematically learned, and then come to the exam, what do you think? ”

Listening to the vice president's serious words, Li Yi hadn't spoken yet, but Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai behind him couldn't help but get nervous.

Zhao Jinmai whispered in Liu Yifei's ear: "This exam sounds so difficult!" ”

Liu Yifei also felt a little dry in her tongue, but she still said in a low voice: "It's okay, I believe Brother Yi, it's a big deal to fail the exam!" ”

When Zhao Jinmai heard this, he whispered: "But the sea fishing puffer fish seems to be highly poisonous. ”

Hearing her words, Liu Yifei's heart suddenly lifted, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes when she looked at Li Yi.

After listening to the content of the exam, Li Yi in front nodded with a smile and said, "I'm ready, I can take the exam at any time." ”

Hearing him say this, the vice president sighed lightly, but still nodded and signaled, "Come with me!" Go to the operation room. ”

With that, he turned around and walked in the direction of the operation room with a few judges.

Li Yi took Liu Yifei and the film crew and followed behind.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was excitedly discussing the content of the exam just now, and the barrage was flying.

"! It's the first time I've seen the puffer fish license exam! So nervous! ”

"Puffer fishing! The real wild puffer fish is very poisonous, and I hope Brother Yi can withstand it. ”

"Oh my God, this license is too dangerous, isn't it? I remember tetrodotoxin as if there was no serum, which would be dangerous if something went wrong. ”

"I'm never going to be able to get this license in my life, it's scary! You can't joke with your own life! ”

"Huh! Let me tell you, this puffer fish license is very high! If you put it in the Neon Country, a license is worth a million! ”

"I've also heard that eating puffer fish in the neon country is even crazier than in China, and the salary of the puffer fish master is also very high."

"The average annual salary starts at $150,000, and the maximum can reach $25-300,000, which is just the salary, and the income is higher when you open your own store."

"! $300,000 a year? Isn't that two million? Is it so profitable to make pufferfish? ”

"Mom! I'm a little excited! ”

"Didn't hear the exam requirements? You want to eat your own food, and you can try it if you are not afraid of death. ”

In the heated discussion of the audience, Li Yi and his entourage came to the operation room.

In the large fish tank at the back of the operation room, there are different styles of puffer fish, some of which are bright in color, some are covered with bright markings, and some are even covered with bone spurs, which looks very peculiar.

"So many pufferfish?"

Zhao Jinmai was stunned: "There are so many types?" ”

In this tank, there are thirty or forty different kinds of puffer fish, and she is a little dazzled when she looks at it, let alone distinguish the species.

But Li Yi just stood in front of the fish tank, roughly swept it, and nodded to a few judges, indicating that it was time to start.

The judges didn't say much, and one of the gray-haired masters stepped forward, scooped up a puffer fish with a net, and asked Li Yi, "What kind of puffer fish is this?" ”

Li Yi just glanced at it and said: "The pufferfish, produced in the waters near Wanwan Province, is highly poisonous in its internal organs, muscles, skin, and fish white. ”

When the old master heard this, he nodded, and picked up another one: "What about this one?" ”

"The pufferfish is supposed to be caught in Southeast Asian waters, and its skin is poisonous."

"This."

"Yellowfin Oriental pufferfish, caught in Haizhou Bay, is highly toxic in ovaries and liver, poisonous in large intestines, and non-toxic in meat, skin and fish."

"This."

"The white-spotted pufferfish, caught in the South China Sea, should be near the Paracel Islands, and the ovaries and liver are poisonous."

"This?"

"The leopard oriental pufferfish should be a migratory fish caught in Taihu Lake, the ovaries and liver are highly poisonous, the blood, and the internal organs are also poisonous, and the taste is good."

Listening to Li Yi's identification of different puffer fish, Liu Yifei and Zhao Jinmai were dumbfounded.

In the live broadcast room, the audience's barrage was already boiling.

"! Really? Not only can you recognize the species, but you also know where you got it from? ”

"That's too strong, isn't it? Why did you even tell where the fish were? ”

"Is this a script? It's too fake! ”

"No, how can you tell that it was fished from Taihu Lake? Why? ”

Although I couldn't see the barrage in the live broadcast room, the gray-haired judges also had the same question.

He looked at Li Yi and asked suspiciously, "How do you know that this leopard-patterned pufferfish was fished out of Taihu Lake?" ”
