Li Yi picked up the wine cup, put it under his mouth and nose and sniffed.

The rich aroma of wine, mixed with the aroma of liver oil oozing from the outer layer of the liver under the roasting of the spray gun, is particularly fragrant.

Smelling the aroma, a smile appeared on the corner of Li Yi's mouth.

Compared with the skin and meat of the pufferfish, this piece of puffer fish liver is the essence of this pufferfish.

But correspondingly, it is also extremely toxin.

Of all the parts of the puffer fish, the liver is the top three, second only to the ovaries and spleen.

But once the nature of tetrodotoxin is understood, it is only a matter of method to remove the toxin.

Half of Li Yi's time processing puffer fish is spent processing puffer fish liver.

After treatment, the puffer fish liver has completely lost its blood color, leaving only pure flesh.

After burning the alcohol and leaching out the water left, Li Yi took the bottle again, poured a small half glass of liquor into it, and then raised his head and poured the puffer fish liver into his mouth along with the wine.

The mellow and spicy flavor of the sauce wine gives the tongue an all-round impact, and the taste buds are activated in an instant under this impact, as if after a layer of electricity, numb and crispy.

Then, Li Yi bit off the puffer fish liver and chewed it gently.

Unlike the delicate puffer fish liver after being fried at high temperatures, the puffer fish liver he made this time still retains a certain toughness and has a crisp and tender taste.

The roasted liver oil melted as he chewed, and then it was stimulated by the esters in the liquor, and the aroma was even better.

Savoring it, Li Yi closed his eyes and nodded.

This smell is not in vain to wash the old man carefully for a long time!

Seeing that he closed his eyes and looked like he was enjoying himself, Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yi?" How does it taste? ”

Li Yi opened his eyes, looked back at them, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's delicious, do you want to taste it?" ”

Zhao Jinmai hesitated a little when he heard this, but Liu Yifei on the side stood up directly.

"Okay!"

She stepped forward, came to Li Yi and stood still, looked at the two dishes on the table with her hands behind her back, and asked with a smile, "Which one is more delicious?" ”

"The best has been eaten by me."

Li Yi smiled: "These two dishes are similar, you can try both." ”

When Liu Yifei heard this, she directly took a pair of chopsticks, pondered for a while, and then went to [Zhuang Zhou Mengdie].

Seeing her movements, the vice president and several judges glanced at each other and exchanged glances, but they didn't stop her.

Tetrodotoxin has a very short incubation period, with a minimum of 10 minutes, which is easy to see.

But Li Yi ate a few dishes and drank wine, but there was no problem at all.

Obviously, this puffer fish has been processed by him to be completely non-poisonous and edible.

Feeding the butterfly-shaped fish fillet into her mouth, Liu Yifei smiled as soon as she chewed it.

"It's so fresh!"

She covered her mouth, chewed gently, looked back at Zhao Jinmai, and beckoned: "Maimai, come and taste it, it's delicious!" ”

Seeing this, Zhao Jinmai couldn't hold it back, ran forward quickly, took the chopsticks, and learned from Liu Yifei to clip a piece of fish fillet and taste it.

"Wow!"

She was immediately amazed by the texture and taste of the fillet: "So tender!" The aroma of wine is so strong! ”

After tasting the taste, she instantly forgot about what toxins were not toxins, and before the fish fillet in her mouth was swallowed, she picked up another slice.

Seeing that they were eating sweetly, the vice president of the judges, and several masters also exchanged glances.

"How?"

Vice President Chong Changshun boss asked: "The person recommended by you, do you dare to taste it?" ”

"What's not to dare to do here?"

Boss Changshun smiled: "If you want to eat, just say it, what are you doing around and around?" ”

When the vice president heard this, he came to the desk with a smile and said to Li Yi: "Let's try your dishes too!" ”

"Please."

Li Yi smiled and raised his hand.

After taking a pair of chopsticks, the vice president stretched out to the cold puffer fish skin.

Picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth, he closed his eyes and chewed for a while, then opened his eyes, and nodded a little amazingly: "The taste is crispy and elastic, the heat is well grasped, the fresh and slightly sour mouth is well mastered, the saltiness is moderate, the fragrance is rich, and it is delicious!" ”

The gray-haired master who helped Li Yi with the theory test before also picked up a piece of fish fillet and tasted it carefully.

"It's a great idea."

He swallowed the fillet and was surprised: "I also make puffer fish sashimi in my shop, but I haven't thought of using sake to make sake grilled with wasabi sauce and sweet soy sauce, and it tastes really good." ”

The boss of Changshun also sandwiched the chopsticks puffer fish skin and fish fillet, and tasted each of them, before looking at Li Yi and saying with a smile: "I said at that time in my store, your level can already open a store on our side."

Now it seems that you can not only open a store, but you can shoot us old guys to death on the beach! ”

"You're welcome, my dish just pays more attention to the form, and the taste can only be said to have its own merits."

Li Yi smiled and said modestly.

But when the vice president and several masters heard his words, they couldn't laugh at all.

Boss Changshun was right, Li Yi's dishes did give them a great shock.

These dishes, whether in terms of creativity, form, or taste, are considered to be excellent.

Li Yi completely jumped out of the traditional method of cooking puffer fish, but used his own understanding to innovate and produce these new dishes.

If Li Yi really opened a puffer fish restaurant in Yangzhong and sold this kind of dish, then the entire high-end puffer fish restaurant in Yangzhong would probably be monopolized by Li Yi.

After all, this kind of dish, which has a shape, a sense of form, and a good taste, has too high business attributes.

Those bosses invite important customers to dinner, they like this kind of business banquet the most, and they are quite willing to spend money.

The vice president glanced at a few judges and said with a smile: "Now it seems that I have no eyes, your level, you don't have ten years of experience, you shouldn't be able to get down, right?" ”

"No, I just like to figure it out on my own."

Li Yi said with a smile, and then brought the topic to the topic: "Then did I pass this exam?" ”

"Of course it did."

The vice president smiled: "At your level, it is more than enough to come to our association to be a judge of a new style of puffer fish dishes." ”

Hearing his words, Zhao Jinmai asked in surprise: "Then Brother Yi will be a professional puffer fish master in the future?" It's amazing! ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to Li Yi: "Brother Yi! Congratulations! ”

Seeing this, Li Yi stretched out his hand and slapped her palm.

Then, Li Yi turned his hand and stretched out to Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei originally just looked at it with a smile, but when she saw Li Yi stretching out her hand, she also raised her hand and slapped Li Yi.

"Thanks!"

Li Yi smiled and whispered.

Liu Yifei was a little puzzled when she heard this, and asked, "Thank me for what?" ”

Li Yi looked at her and said with a smile: "Thank you for being the first to dare to taste my food!" ”

Liu Yifei was stunned when she heard this, and then laughed too.

In the live broadcast room, the audience's saliva flowed into a river.

"Whoever invites me to eat pufferfish, I will take him to the king!"
