Author: round head and round belly

After finishing the meal, Li Yi was very satisfied.

Although Zhao Jinmai believes that there is some gap between crab roe soup dumplings and his Qiankun eggs.

But the crab roe he used is not something that ordinary stores can afford. The products produced by this tea house are already very good.

The only thing that dissatisfied him was that the Gaoyou Double Yolk Salted Duck Eggs served in the store were actually cut.

How to cut salted duck eggs when eating them?

Isn't the soul of salted duck eggs just the duck egg butter that pops out after you crack the big head open and pierce it with chopsticks?

After cutting it open, the oil will flow everywhere and the soul will be gone!

But even though it has lost its soul, the salted duck eggs still taste good.

With a piece of salted duck egg, Li Yi finished the rest of the porridge.

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

But in the end, everything on the table was eaten, and nothing was left.

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

Zhao Jinmai patted his belly and said with a smile: "Why do you feel like you've eaten so much, but you're still not full?"

"Actually, it's not much. The portions of breakfast here are relatively exquisite, it's a water town in the south!"

Liu Yifei said with a smile, then looked at Li Yi and asked: "Where should we go next?"

"Yangzhong."

Li Yi told the destination.

"Where is Yangzhong?"

Zhao Jinmai is still not very familiar with southern cities.

"It's not far, just a few dozen kilometers east along the Yangtze River, 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 when you go to Yangzhong, you have to buy puffer fish."

Li Yi smiled and explained that in the "Beauty Banquet" he was going to make, the main ingredient of one of the dishes was puffer fish.

"Pufferfish?"

Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei both widened their eyes in surprise.

"Is it the poisonous pufferfish?"

Zhao Jinmai couldn't help but ask.

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

Li Yi joked with a smile.

"You want to cook with puffer fish?"

Liu Yifei was surprised when she heard Li Yi's words: "Isn't it a bit dangerous?"

The most important thing in a restaurant is food safety. If something goes wrong with your food, it will be a disaster.

And Chinese Restaurant is a variety show open to audiences across the country. If something happens to them, they will be fine. As the chef, Li Yi will really be doomed.

But Li Yi smiled easily and said: "It's okay, the current farmed puffer fish are 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 handled wild and highly poisonous pufferfish many times, and is already familiar with how to handle pufferfish.

Seeing him acting relaxed, Liu Yifei gradually felt relieved.

She knew Li Yi quite well. Li Yi would never do anything he was unsure of. If he said it was okay, he should be sure of it.

Zhao Jinmai had a big heart, and when he heard Li Yi said it was not poisonous, he immediately felt relieved.

"Technology is so advanced! We can actually improve pufferfish into non-toxic pufferfish."

She admired and then asked out of curiosity: "Is the puffer fish in Yangzhong famous?"

"It's not bad. Yangzhong has been holding a puffer fish festival these years, and it's quite famous."

Li Yi explained with a smile: "Pufferfish is one of the three delicacies of the Yangtze River. It is customary to eat pufferfish in many places along the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province.

Starting from Nantong and Zhangjiagang near the sea in the east, to Yangzhou and Yangzhong in the west, eating puffer fish is very common.

There are also places to eat puffer fish in Yangzhou, but they are not as large as those in Yangzhong, so if you want to purchase supplies, it is better to go there."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Jinmai and Liu Yifei also became interested. They immediately got in the car and went straight to Yangzhong.

The straight-line distance between Yangzhou and Yangzhong is only about 30 kilometers, but because we have to cross a river and run on a highway, we have to take a long detour of more than 30 kilometers.

However, the scenery along the Jiangnan Water Town is charming, and it is not boring to sit in the car.

In the car, Zhao Jinmai was very curious about puffer fish: "Who was the first person to eat puffer fish? It would take a lot of people to die to discover the correct method of puffer fish, otherwise there would be no such thing as eating puffer fish to the death."

"

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

Li Yi explained: "Compendium of Materia Medica records information about pufferfish, saying that although it tastes delicious, if it is not treated properly, eating it can kill people."

Wu people said that its blood was poisonous, causing abdominal distension and blurred vision. Pufferfish pods must not be eaten. Once soaked in water, they became as big as glutinous rice seeds overnight.

It has been clearly documented here that pufferfish has toxins.”

Liu Yifei listened nervously: "It seems that pufferfish poison is a neurotoxin and cannot be destroyed by high temperatures."

"That's right."

Li Yi said sternly: "The puffer fish poison will not be destroyed even if it is continuously steamed at a high temperature of 100 degrees for eight hours. It cannot be destroyed even if it is pickled with salt, exposed to wind and sun, or made into dried fish.

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

After a final investigation, it was discovered that the fish were mixed with pufferfish blood during handling and were infected with pufferfish poison.

Although it was dried in the sun and wind to make salted fish, the toxins were not removed, so the old couple were poisoned to death."

"Oh my god! It's so scary!"

Zhao Jinmai shuddered when he heard this and was a little scared: "So, eating puffer fish is still dangerous? Who knows if there may be a few poisonous ones mixed in?"

"Don't worry about that."

Li Yi expressed relief: “The puffer fish we used to eat were all wild puffer fish, which are highly toxins. Scientific researchers have already studied them, mainly because puffer fish will eat some organisms containing tetrodotoxin.

Wild puffer fish will accumulate these toxins in their bodies, and then form a symbiotic relationship with wild puffer fish, which becomes a means for puffer fish to protect themselves and resist natural enemies.

But now puffer fish are basically farmed puffer fish. The farmed puffer fish eat prepared feed that does not contain puffer fish, so puffer fish cannot accumulate puffer fish poison in their bodies, and naturally they are no longer poisonous.

However, even wild puffer fish can completely remove toxins.

Wild pufferfish poison is generally concentrated in the ovaries, eyes, blood, gills, and internal organs, but it is not found in the flesh.

Therefore, as long as you pay attention to the techniques when handling, do not damage the blood vessels and internal organs in the body, and only remove the meat, you can avoid toxin contamination.

Moreover, as long as it is a restaurant that eats pufferfish, the chef must taste the soup of all pufferfish before serving it to ensure the safety of diners.

If there is a problem, the chef will be the first to do it, giving you enough time for rescue."

Hearing Li Yi's comfort, Zhao Jinmai was confused: "What do you mean by allowing enough time for rescue? Hearing what you say, I don't even dare to eat it!"
