In the aquatic products in the ingredients area, there are all kinds of fish swimming.
Nobita Kawashima stood beside the water basin with a solemn expression and serious eyes.
Suddenly his hand picked up a gauze net next to it, and then stretched it into the water.
When the gauze net appeared again, I saw a round fish struggling in the net.
"Puffer fish!" Wen Shouzheng blurted out in shock when he saw this!
Yes, Nobita Kawashima is holding puffer fish!
Wen Shouzheng's thoughts were flashing back.
It seems that a long time ago, I was learning how to cook with my master. One night, when the shop was closed, a Japanese samurai who spoke a blunt Chinese came and insisted on eating puffer fish.
No matter how the young Wen Shouzheng explained and persuaded the shop to close, the samurai knew it and insisted on eating puffer fish.
He didn't even hesitate to use the samurai sword in his hand to force him.
"Guest, why do you have to eat fugu?" Wen Shouzheng's master asked.
"Because today is the anniversary of my deceased wife's death, and fugu is her best dish!" said the warrior with tears in his eyes.
Wen Shouzheng still remembered that the master was silent at that time, and just walked straight to the side of the water basin, where there was the last puffer fish left!
"Shouzheng, you have never cooked this fish before." Master's voice seemed to be still echoing in his ears, "In Dongying, there has always been a saying to eat puffer fish desperately, just because the meat of this fish is extremely delicious!"
"Master, is this fish poisonous? Why is it called desperately eating puffer fish?" The young Wen Shouzheng asked.
"Hehe, the whole body of puffer fish is non-toxic except for the liver which is highly poisonous. However, because the liver part is delicious, many people risk their lives to taste it. In Dongying, ordinary restaurants and restaurants dare not handle it. Fugu, I’m afraid that if it’s not handled properly, it will kill people. Dongying has a long history of eating fugu. Generally, after the puffer fish is caught, it must be handled by a master with decades of experience. The liver is separated, and then washed under water, at least one Let it stay overnight, and then cook. Even so, because the poison cannot be completely removed, the tip of the tongue will still feel numb when eating. There are many people who die from eating puffer fish in Japan every year." While the master was speaking, the puffer fish had already died. was cast aside.
In Wen Shouzheng’s impression, the flesh of the fish called puffer fish is very white and compact; there are no tiny fish bones in the flesh; it seems that it is very easy to cut into fish lines or fillets, and it will continue to fall off after soaking in water; cut it out The meat is white and beautiful, with a very fresh fragrance.
"Father, what are you thinking?" Seeing Wen Shouzheng's expression, Ruan Rou seemed to be in a daze. Busy aside to remind.
Wen Shouzheng suddenly came back to his senses.
Now that the master is gone, I can only rely on myself!
"Rou'er, you haven't done this puffer fish before, so let me handle it!" Wen Shouzheng took a deep breath, and said to Wen Rou in a slow voice.
"Father, I'll help you!" Rourou responded immediately.
In fact, she cooked this puffer fish once in her previous life, and that was the only time, at the banquet in the palace, she was also with Wen Shouzheng.
On that day, the emperor hosted a banquet for the envoys from various countries, among which was this puffer fish.
Although gentleness has never been done independently. But he was also participating in Wen Shouzheng's cooking from the sidelines.
Now, by repeating the steps of the previous life, this poisonous puffer fish can be processed into a delicious delicacy.
However, this is not the previous life, this is rebirth!
In Wen Shouzheng's eyes. I am just an apprentice who has only learned how to cook for more than half a year. If I have shown my cooking skills in my previous life now, if Wen Shouzheng asks, do I have to push it to Chef Gao's old book
No, such skill. It's too risky, it's better to wait and see what happens!
Thinking of this, Rourou stood aside, just doing the work of the second chef who delivered the goods, watching Wen Shou handling the puffer fish.
At the same time, Nobita Kawashima also got up quickly.
Japanese people have a special love for fugu. Almost every expert chef has a unique skill in fugu!
But now, in Wen Rou's eyes, his father and Nobita Kawashima next to him seemed to be looking at the mirror in exactly the same way.
Killing fish is the most important step in handling fugu.
I saw that Wen Shouzheng put a basin of clean water first, and put the puffer fish on the plate.
After doing so, Nobita Kawashima first cut off the fish eyes with scissors, and then cut the fins on both sides of the fish.
After Wen Shouzheng copied the action, he cut open the fish maw with scissors.
At this time, the fish blood kept flowing in the hands of the two of them, and when they saw it gently, they poured the water scoop into the well water with knowledge and interest. There was also a man in black repeating the same action on Nobita Kawashima's side.
The two moved in unison, scraping off the internal organs of the fish, cutting off a transverse bone near the tail, then flipping the fish skin on the back of the fish, removing fat from the skin, draining the blood, and revealing a snow-white fish body.
At this time, Nobita Kawashima raised his eyes inadvertently, and glanced at Wen Shouzheng.
At the same time, Wen Shouzheng's gaze also inadvertently fell on Kawashima Nobita's hand.
Immediately, both of them were stunned, they were exactly the same! Immediately they looked at each other and smiled again!
It turns out that they are all masters!
At this moment, the processed puffer fish was immersed in clear water by the two chefs for more than a quarter of an hour. This first step of processing puffer fish was completed quickly and beautifully!
"Ah!" Nobita Kawashima looked at the puffer fish liver that had been decomposed in his hand, and sighed heavily.
Wen Shouzheng also looked at the puffer fish liver in his hand and shook his head slightly.
Even Ren Yue didn't understand, and asked directly: "Chef Wen, why are you shaking your head?"
"I don't know, Mr. Ren, this puffer fish liver is the most delicious, but if you eat it, you may have to rinse and soak overnight to detoxify it! Today's ring competition, I am afraid I won't be able to eat it!" Wen Shouzheng sighed softly.
Needless to say, Nobita Kawashima, who is also proficient in cooking puffer fish, is probably also a pity!
"Father, how do you plan to cook this puffer fish today?" Seeing that the fish has been processed, Rou Rou asked closer.
"Actually, puffer fish sashimi can best represent the original taste of puffer fish." Wen Shouzheng took a meaningful look at the puffer fish in his hand, paused, and continued: "Puffer fish meat is chewier than other fish meat, so The slices are very thin and placed on a large plate. When eating, dip 2-3 slices with chopped green onion and spicy radish puree, and the seasoning made of grapefruit juice and vinegar. The taste is the most delicious! It's a pity... "Wen Shouzheng stopped, All of the above was taught by his master.
"Father, what's the pity?" Rourou asked immediately.
She still remembered the big banquet in the palace in her previous life. Dad also made puffer fish sashimi, and all the envoys were applauded when they ate it!
"Delicious, what a word fresh!"
"Unfortunately, this is in Zuixian Tower. It's early spring again, and there is no ice..." Wen Shouzheng sighed softly.
"Ice?" Wen Rou was stunned.
Yes indeed! I remember that in the previous life above the main hall, the puffer fish sashimi made by my father was like blooming chrysanthemum petals, spread layer by layer on a plate filled with ice cubes!
Fugu is cut into thin, nearly transparent chrysanthemum petal-shaped slices by Wen Shouzheng, and then put into a plate and stacked from outside to inside to form a chrysanthemum shape. When the envoys ate, they used chopsticks to eat layer by layer from the outer layer to the inner layer. They seemed to be extra careful for fear of prematurely destroying its shape.
That cold taste. With the deliciousness of puffer fish, it is the most beautiful taste in the world, which is really extraordinary.
But now... no ice...
Gentleness has no idea for a while
At this time, Nobita Kawashima's side seemed to be going smoothly.
Clean puffer fish will be processed. It was placed flat on the cutting board, and then the knife was raised and lowered, and the two tenderloins of the puffer fish were removed intact.
"Shua, Shua, Shua!" Kawashima Nobita's knife sound became faster and faster, and he saw that under the knife, there were only two completed pieces of fish meat, but now it has become almost transparent fish fillets!
In front of him was a clean and shiny white porcelain plate. Topped with wasabi and soy sauce in order...
"Puffer fish sashimi!" Rourou recognized it at a glance, but still covered her mouth with her hand, so she didn't scream out.
Sure enough, that Dongying person still made the original puffer fish sashimi!
Perhaps, his judging senses. This kind of sashimi can best represent the original umami taste of puffer fish.
However, there is no ice... no ice, doesn't Nobita Kawashima know
Gentle hesitated.
"Father, have you made up your mind?" Ruan turned around and asked urgently.
Wen Shou was facing a whole puffer fish. caught in deep thought...
Obviously clueless.
"Father, let me come!" Can't wait any longer! If this fish meat is kept for a long time, it will lose its original deliciousness, gentleness sees it, and comes forward!
At this moment, Cai Mi squeezed from the back of the crowd to the front, standing calmly in front of Wen Rou.
It's just that there is one more thing in my hand, that is a bright and fiery red pomegranate flower!
Seeing that the gentle and persistent one wanted to grab the puffer fish and cook it, Cai Mi coughed a few times.
The familiar voice and gentle gaze were immediately attracted.
"Master!" Rourou was overjoyed!
When I was at a loss, Cai Mi appeared!
However, this is a competition, so I can't go directly to the stage, pull Cai Mi and ask, "Master, how do you make this puffer fish?"
After the gentle joy, there was a trace of disappointment.
Cai Mi stood in front of her quietly, the delicate pomegranate flower in her hand was really eye-catching.
"Master, it's true! People are so impatient here, he still has the leisure to play with flowers and plants in front of me!" Rourou said angrily when she saw the red flower swaying ostentatiously.
"Ahem." Cai Mi coughed lightly again.
The gentle gaze was attracted again.
This time, Cai Mi directly put the pomegranate flower by her mouth.
"Master, stop playing! I'm thinking about it!" The gentle eyebrows frowned tightly.
He bowed his head again and thought quickly.
"Cough, cough, cough!" Cai Mi coughed for the third time, and this time, even Ren Yue's eyes were attracted.
"Uncle Cai, are you alright?" Ren Yue asked with concern.
"It's okay, I'm so mad! You idiot!" Cai Mi said angrily, then threw the pomegranate flower on the ground, turned and left.
"Master is gone?!" Rourou was stunned.
The pomegranate flower was lying on the ground so quietly and gorgeously.
Cai Mi left angrily.
"Master is angry? Idiot? Who is he talking about?" Rourou muttered to herself.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed across Gentle's head!
oops! Why didn't I think of it! What a fool I am!
He gently patted himself on the head!
