The ingredients brought by Director Yang were really good. Except for some game, most of them were seafood. Duan Hongxuan showed off his cooking skills and cooked a table of delicious food. Duan Hongxuan had no shortage of seasonings and her superb cooking skills.
Yi, a table of dishes has just been served, and everyone can't help but drool when they smell it!
In the end, everyone was satisfied with the large table of delicacies, especially the soup made with Feilong. This thing does not require too many seasonings, it just focuses on the original flavor and freshness. Duan Hongxuan made a good big pot of soup, which was very delicious.
It was quickly divided up by everyone.
After everyone finished the soup, they truly realized what Duan Hongxuan said about the best ingredients. Therefore, everyone discussed the various ingredients with great interest after the meal.
Speaking of this, everyone asked Duan Hongxuan to tell everyone. Duan Hongxuan thought for a while and said: "Well, when it comes to top-quality ingredients, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, which is puffer fish. I wonder if any of you have heard of it?"
Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't know about pufferfish, so Duan Hongxuan continued: "Pufferfish is a kind of ocean fish, and some of it lives in fresh water at the mouths of rivers near the sea. It has been recognized as the best food since ancient times!
Everyone knows Su Shi and Su Dongpo, right?"
Everyone nodded, "Su Dongpo was a foodie and loved delicious food. When he was demoted to Changzhou, Jiangsu, he was not depressed because of his unsatisfactory career. Instead, he looked for delicious food everywhere to entertain himself.
Once Su Dongpo was lucky enough to taste puffer fish, and he couldn't help but sigh: It's worth dying! This means that if you can eat puffer fish meat, even if you die, it's worth it! The ancients' evaluation of puffer fish was evidenced by poems, including one sentence: Although it is a hundred
He died without regrets, which shows that the ancients highly valued the deliciousness of puffer fish.
Moreover, the Japanese have been fond of puffer fish since ancient times. No matter whether there are many people at home or abroad who have died from eating puffer fish, these people are willing to risk their lives in order to taste the delicious puffer fish. They truly live up to the saying: Even if they die a hundred times, they still have no regrets!"
Director Yang was surprised and said: "Hongxuan, how come eating this thing can kill people?"
Duan Hongxuan smiled and said: "Li Shizhen once recorded in the book "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Although the taste is precious and beautiful, if it is not treated properly, eating it will kill people. People in Wu said that its blood is poisonous, causing abdominal distension and dazzling eyesight.
It is inedible. Once soaked in water, it became as big as glutinous rice overnight." The general meaning is that although puffer fish is delicious, if it is not cooked in the correct way, it will kill people if eaten, and its ovaries, eyes and even blood will be damaged.
All are poisonous.
The meat of puffer fish is indeed extremely delicious, but at the same time, puffer fish is also highly poisonous. If the puffer fish is handled slightly improperly, people can be poisoned and die! Despite this, many people have taken risks for the delicious taste of puffer fish since ancient times. Therefore,
Not a few people lost their lives, but future generations still take risks in order to taste the deliciousness of pufferfish, which shows how delicious the meat of pufferfish is!"
Director Luo suddenly said: "Isn't this too exaggerated? You would risk your life just for stuttering!
Hongxuan, since pufferfish is highly poisonous, why do you say it is the best food? Can poisonous things be used as food?"
“Although pufferfish is poisonous, the pufferfish meat itself is not poisonous, so as long as you handle pufferfish carefully and properly, remove the poisonous parts, and do not let toxins contaminate the pufferfish meat, then there will be no problem!
Just like a venomous snake, if you remove its fangs and venom-secreting glands, the venomous snake itself is no longer venomous. The same is true for puffer fish.
The toxin contained in puffer fish is a neurotoxin. If you are not careful, just a little bit of it can kill you. Moreover, the toxin in puffer fish is so stubborn that it will not be destroyed even if it is steamed at a high temperature of 100 degrees for eight hours.
; Pickling it with salt, drying it in the sun, and making it into dried fish will not destroy its toxins, and there is no specific antidote for this toxin. Once you eat it, you will definitely die!
So gradually, chefs who cook puffer fish must undergo special training. No matter how good your chef is at cooking other dishes or how famous you are, if you have not received special training in handling puffer fish, you will never be allowed to cook puffer fish for others.
And even if there are specially trained chefs, after they prepare a piece of puffer fish for the guests, they must eat it with chopsticks first, and wait for a while before letting the guests eat if nothing happens. This is to show that there is no problem with the puffer fish that the chef has processed.
Otherwise, the chef himself will be the first to die!"
"Good guy!" Everyone was stunned when they heard this. They had gained a lot of experience now. They didn't expect that there are such dangerous ingredients in the world. How delicious must this ingredient be to make people risk their lives?
It's so dangerous that you have to risk your life to try it, and it's outrageous that your life is in danger as a chef.
Director Yang asked curiously: "Hongxuan, do you know how to handle puffer fish?"
"Me?" Seeing everyone looking at him curiously, Duan Hongxuan smiled and nodded: "Of course I can!"
Director Yang suddenly became interested: "So you have also tasted puffer fish meat?"
Duan Hongxuan nodded, and Director Yang quickly asked: "Since you have eaten it, tell us, is the meat of this puffer fish really that delicious?"
"Tsk, tsk, delicious, absolutely delicious. Only those who have really eaten puffer fish can understand why so many people risk their lives to try it. It is definitely worth it! Since ancient times, there has been a saying that people will risk their lives to eat puffer fish, and some people say that puffer fish is
Growing ingredients is a delicious food that you must eat once in your life, otherwise your journey in this world will be in vain!"
Minister Lu shook his head: "I really can't imagine how delicious the puffer fish you mentioned is so delicious that it can make people even risk their lives. Could it be more delicious than the flying dragon we just ate? It's really unimaginable!"
"It's definitely more delicious than Feilong!"
When Director Yang heard this, he quickly said: "If this is the case, I will think of a way to ask some of my former comrades to see if they can find some puffer fish. Then I will ask Hongxuan to make them for me. I really want to try them."
How delicious is this puffer fish?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hongxuan, where is the origin of pufferfish?"
At this time, He Yuyu asked curiously: "Brother Hongxuan, what does a pufferfish look like?"
Duan Hongxuan thought for a while and said: "Well, the pufferfish is not big, just as big as a palm. In ancient times, the pufferfish was called "red salmon", "flounder", etc., and because it would swell into a bulging shape when disturbed,
Because of its spherical shape, it is also called "bubble fish" or "chicken bubble fish". It looks naive and very cute!
Pufferfish swim slowly. Every year around Qingming Festival, pufferfish swim from the sea to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Pufferfish are timid and greedy by nature. When threatened, their esophagus has a special structure and expands into a sac on the front and back ventral sides.
When encountering an enemy, it can inhale water and air, causing its chest and abdomen to swell like a ball and float on the water, making it difficult for the pufferfish's natural enemies to eat it. This is also a way for the pufferfish to protect itself and survive.
When I get a chance later, I will find some live pufferfish for you to play with. It is quite interesting. It is a small fish as big as a palm. If you poke it a little with your hand, it will immediately seem to be angry, and its whole body will rise rapidly like a balloon.
It’s shaped like a ball and looks like it’s bulging with air, which is really interesting!”
Everyone imagined it and thought it was indeed quite interesting, but Director Luo shook his head: "It's okay to find pufferfish and play with it if you have the chance. I don't dare to eat this thing. It's too scary."
Duan Hongxuan smiled and said: "It's okay, Aunt Luo. If there is a chance to find the puffer fish, I will take care of it myself. When the puffer fish is ready, I will be the first to taste it. When I am fine, you guys can eat it again!"
"
Director Luo said angrily: "You are not allowed to eat it. No matter how delicious it is, it is just one bite. Is it worth risking your life for? You are the only one left in your family now, and you are so smart, capable and have a bright future. What will be delicious in the future?"
You can't eat, so why risk your life just to eat a puffer fish?
If you really want to eat puffer fish, wait until your family is full of children and I will talk to you, Uncle Lu, a hundred years later. We will not be here by then, and we won’t be able to see you no matter how much you want to do with your life. Out of sight is pure, but now you
Get rid of this idea as soon as possible, do you hear me?
And Xiao Yang, I know you have many comrades in arms, so you must not find any pufferfish for Hongxuan. If you dare to find pufferfish for him, I won’t forgive you!"
Duan Hongxuan and Director Yang nodded quickly and swore never to touch puffer fish, which made Director Luo's expression soften!
