Hearing the judges' question, Zhao Jinmai also stretched his neck, looked at Li Yi, and waited for his answer.

She was also full of curiosity about the origin of the puffer fish that Li Yi casually said.

How could Li Yi tell where these puffer fish were caught just by looking at them?

Faced with the judges' doubts, Li Yi didn't think much about it, and explained directly: "Because when you just fished it, it." ”

Hearing his explanation, Zhao Jinmai in the rear suddenly widened his eyes, and Liu Yifei was also stunned.

In the live broadcast room, the screen was swiped by question marks.

“？？？”

"What do you mean to?"

"Is it by feces?"

The audience didn't quite understand, but the judges smiled after hearing Li Yi's words, obviously understanding the reason.

But he didn't explain, but gestured to Li Yi: "You go on." ”

When Li Yi heard this, he patiently explained: "The leopard pufferfish can also migrate, and it can swim all the way to the middle of the Yangtze River and as far as Dongting Lake.

After birth, some of the small fish will swim to the sea, but some will stay in the waters of the Yangtze River to feed and fatten, and then swim to the sea the following spring.

However, the leopard pufferfish that live in different waters is different because of the different food they eat, and the they pull is also different.

For example, the leopard-print oriental pufferfish that lives in Dongting Lake eats small fish and shrimp, and there are more small crabs, so the is generally gray and white.

However, the leopard pufferfish that lives in the lake will eat a considerable part of the plants, such as leaves and filamentous algae, which will make its droppings dark green, and the length of the stool is relatively long.

However, the leopard pufferfish living in Taihu Lake is more special because it feeds mainly on elephant nose fleas.

The weevilis is a type of water flea that often eats the leopard oriental pufferfish, and the feces will appear grayish-black and relatively short. ”

As he spoke, Li Yi stretched out his finger and pointed to a wound behind the pectoral fin of the leopard-striped pufferfish in the net pocket, and explained: "There is an injury here on this leopard-striped pufferfish, and it looks like a new injury, it should have been caught not long ago."

Therefore, its feeding habits should not have changed, and the color of the feces should also show the feeding conditions of its life in the wild.

The it pulled just now was gray-black segments, so I roughly guessed that it should have been fished from Taihu Lake, and it didn't take long to catch it, no more than two days at most. ”

Listening to Li Yi's series of explanations, Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei were stunned.

The live broadcast room was even more silent, and all the audience were staring at the judges, wondering if what Li Yi said was true.

And looking at Li Yi's judges, a satisfied smile already appeared on their faces.

"That's right, this is the one that was sent in the morning, and I caught it in Taihu Lake yesterday."

His words proved the accuracy of Li Yi's guess, and the next moment, the barrage in the live broadcast room was surging!

"! I guessed it right! ”

"Is that okay? Observe the feces to identify the origin? ”

"So that's the case, I thought it was some kind of metaphysics, it turned out to be science, it was reasonable, bull beep!"

"Brother Yi, I was raised, can you look at my and recognize where I am?"

"Leopard Oriental Pufferfish: Family, the pants have been seen through!"

The audience in the live broadcast room was amazed, and Zhao Jinmai in front of the camera was also applauding, sincerely admiring: "Brother Yi is so good!" ”

Li Yi smiled back and raised his chin at them.

The gray-haired judge said with a smile: "It's okay, you don't need to take the test again, your theoretical knowledge is more solid than mine, and my level is not enough, so I can't test you." ”

His words also mean that Li Yi successfully passed the theory exam.

His words were not modest, the vice president's office, several judges were also communicating, and several people looked back at Li Yi from time to time, their eyes were amazed.

Li Yi's unique skill of identifying dung and fish really shocked them.

If you don't have more than ten years of experience in slaughtering puffer fish, it is absolutely impossible to have such solid theoretical knowledge.

After confirming this, several judges and masters were also a lot more enthusiastic about Li Yi.

Li Yi has proved his strength with solid theoretical knowledge and won their respect.

"Since your theory is so solid, let's try it next!"

The vice president came to the white-haired judges, took the net bag, and handed it to Li Yi: "Since you know leopard oriental pufferfish so well, then I'll leave this one to you to cook!" ”

Seeing this, Li Yi didn't say much, directly took the net bag, and came to the operation desk on the side.

On the counter is a complete set of kitchen utensils and stoves for handling puffer fish.

Li Yi took out the puffer fish and put it on the board, and he stunted the fish with a knife and went straight to the knife.

It was similar to the previous technique in the puffer fish house, except that Li Yi did not use scissors this time, but used a thin knife.

Skillfully cutting the head, cutting off the fin, gouging out the eyeball, and peeling off the skin of the fish are still the same process.

Then, he inserted the knife into the jawbone, cut the gills of the fish, and slowly pulled out the internal organs with his hands, including the cerebral medulla, the fish blister, the kidneys, the intestines, and the anus, bladder, and gonads.

Looking at his skillful and gentle movements, several judges and teachers couldn't help but take a few steps forward, watched behind him, and nodded one by one.

After seeing Li Yi skillfully take out the puffer fish liver, the expressions of several judges became serious again.

In most species of puffer fish, toxins are found in the liver.

And the amount of poison in the liver of a puffer fish is enough to burp more than 30 people.

Therefore, most puffer fish restaurants do not talk about the liver and other internal organs, and most of them will be disposed of in a centralized manner.

In the fugu license examination, students are not required to cook with offal.

As long as you know how to separate the internal organs, leave the skin, meat, and bones, and handle them cleanly, you can already be regarded as a qualified puffer fish master.

That's why the exam requires a three-course meal.

In general, the puffer fish master will choose to stew the fish skin into a soup in a braised or braised way, and then make the fish into charcoal grill or hot pot.

Finally, fry a fishbone, and it's basically all work.

But seeing Li Yi cut the puffer fish liver and began to squeeze the blood, they realized that Li Yi seemed to be using the puffer fish liver to cook!

But this is clearly a wild leopard pufferfish, and the liver is highly poisonous.

If it is not clean, it will be dangerous to eat it.

The three dishes for the exam were eaten by Li Yi himself, and if something happened, it would be his life.

Is he so confident that he dares to guarantee that no toxins will be left behind?

Li Yi was not distracted, but was carefully cleaning the puffer fish meat, puffer fish skin and puffer fish liver.

Turning on the stove, he boiled a pot of hot water, and when the water was boiling, he threw the puffer fish skin into it and blanched it.

Two minutes later, he fished out the puffer fish skin.

After two minutes of blanching, the puffer fish skin has been cooked until it is half-cooked.

Taking out some ice cubes from the refrigerator on the side, Li Yi made a basin of ice water and put the puffer fish skin in it.

Seeing his step, the vice president on the side couldn't help but widen his eyes and guessed his plan.

"He wants cold salad!"
