Chapter 1221: Examination requirements

The pufferfish in Yuan Zhou's hand looked quite innocent and didn't understand its current situation at all. It just blinked its eyes and wagged its tail slightly.

"Little Yuan's fish-catching skills are pretty good." Zhou Shijie praised.

"Basic operation." Lee Yanyi said with a strict requirement.

"It's this basic operation. Many chefs can't do it. When other people catch this fish, the fish will bulge." Zhou Shijie said.

"You have to practice your hands to be steady, accurate, ruthless, and fast." Lee Yanyi nodded and said.

While Zhou Shijie and Lee Yanyi were discussing Yuan Zhou's method of catching the fish, Wu Hai was much more attentive at the side. He stared at the pufferfish in Yuan Zhou's hand and then blurted out two words.

"I'm waiting to eat. " Wu Hai said without even blinking.

Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, was dealing with the pufferfish in front of him attentively.

The pufferfish in his hand was bright in color and it was in the most suitable season. It was also very poisonous. Yuan Zhou was holding the fish in his left hand and the knife in his right hand attentively.

"Chi." With a flash of silver light, Yuan Zhou lifted the tail of the pufferfish upside down and directly cut open the stomach of the fish. After that, he turned his hand and poured out all the internal organs and blood from the stomach.

Yuan Zhou's hand was very steady. He only cut open the skin and flesh of the pufferfish and didn't hurt its internal organs at all. Therefore, the blood flowed out very quickly when it fell.

As the pufferfish blood was highly toxic, Yuan Zhou's hand and knife were both clean without a trace of blood.

When Yuan Zhou poured out the internal organs, he even used the knife tip to pick out the liver of the pufferfish.

Because this was a wild pufferfish, its liver was much smaller than those cultivated ones.

After pouring out the internal organs, Yuan Zhou turned his left hand around and cut the back of the pufferfish again.

Then, the two cuts resonated with each other. Yuan Zhou pressed the tip of the knife on the pufferfish skin and directly peeled it down, taking out the whole pufferfish skin.

The whole pufferfish skin and the other unnecessary internal organs were placed separately on a small plate, and then the eyes were dealt with.

When Yuan Zhou was dealing with the eyes, he couldn't pick them up with the knife at the very beginning. He even broke them before. But now, Yuan Zhou was able to do it steadily and quickly. He easily picked out the pufferfish's eyes with just a slight movement.

These were also placed together with the internal organs, which required special treatment. Yuan Zhou would never allow them to be contaminated with other things.

Even the knife used to process the pufferfish, as well as the utensils and utensils, were all brand new.

"Hua La La," Yuan Zhou turned on the tap and washed the fish meat with running water until it was clean and clear with a slight white Pearl Glow.

"Shua." Yuan Zhou directly made a knife flower with the kitchen knife in his hand. After straightening out the direction, he directly started to slice the fish on the chopping board.

While Yuan Zhou sliced the fish, he started to heat up the oil. This time, Yuan Zhou used the soybean oil. Generally speaking, many chefs of high-end restaurants didn't like to use soybean oil.

The reason was very simple. After the soybean oil was boiled, there would always be a fishy smell of the bean. However, Yuan Zhou didn't need to worry about this problem.

As the soybean oil was boiled by Yuan Zhou himself, the amount was very small. Now, all of it had been poured into the well-cooked iron pot.

With a diamond-shaped flower knife, Yuan Zhou sliced the fish quickly one by one. While slicing the fish, Yuan Zhou also directly arranged a blooming lotus flower in the bowl.

The plate full of pufferfish was divided into two plates, one big and one small, and then directly put into the freezing chamber for quick freezing.

The pufferfish had been sliced cleanly, leaving only the bones in Yuan Zhou's hand.

"Shua shua". Yuan Zhou chopped the fish into two pieces and then poured out the kun marrow blood. After washing it again, he started to fish another fish and continued processing it.

Yuan Zhou processed the fish skillfully. After he sliced the fish again unhurriedly, the oil in the pot just happened to emit green smoke.

"Zi La La," Yuan Zhou threw down two pieces of white pufferfish liver. The boiling hot oil directly wrapped the White liver and the oil in the pot also began to roll.

Of course, this time, Yuan Zhou also filled two plates with the same slices, one big and one small.

"Why is it divided into such a small plate?" Lee Yanyi asked curiously.

"I'm not sure," Zhou Shijie shook his head.

"They might be taking food away. I have a cat at home." Wu Hai stroked his own small mustaches and said primly.

"Get lost. You have a cat at home, but I have a dog at home. It's a big one." Lee Yanyi said unhappily.

"Cats eat fish, dogs eat meat." Wu Hai looked at Lee Yanyi like he was a fool.

"..." Lee Yanyi covered his forehead and didn't feel like talking anymore.

"I think we'll be able to eat it soon. We'll know when the time comes." Zhou Shijie tried to smooth things over with a smile.

In fact, Wu Hai couldn't be blamed for thinking so, because the small plate was really too small. It couldn't even be called a plate, but a plate. There were probably only three pufferfish in it.

At the side, Yuan Zhou wasn't affected at all. He had already started to cook the soup. The ingredients for the soup were the bones of the pufferfish, the cleaned fish skin and the liver that had turned golden after being fried.

As it had already been cooked for a while, a faint umami smell had already begun to fill the store, gently stimulating one's appetite.

"Today's pufferfish trial has two dishes in total: a pufferfish stir-fry, a pufferfish bone soup, a free serving of white chess and Reed root soup for detoxification." After Yuan Zhou prepared everything, he started to wash his hands and explain the dishes today.

"Although I don't think we need the reed root soup, it's better to prepare it." Yuan Zhou said confidently.

"Of course not, but can I try it and see what it tastes like?" Wu Hai looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly.

"No, you're not poisoned." Yuan Zhou refused him directly.

"Then let's change the question. Is that small plate prepared for me?" As Wu Hai had other thoughts, he quickly dropped Yuan Zhou's refusal and changed the topic.

"No, you'll know soon." Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.

While speaking, Yuan Zhou turned his head and took a look at the soup that was boiling behind him. Then, he took out a small bowl and directly filled it up.

The soup in the white and blue bowl was Milky in color. There was a small piece of pufferfish skin floating on top of it. It had been stewed until the colloid had appeared, and it looked sticky and transparent.

"In the pufferfish chef test, the chef will eat the pufferfish he made. I'll eat first, please wait a moment." Yuan Zhou said earnestly.

"Please leave this kind of poison testing to me, who has thick skin and strong Poison resistance." Wu Hai directly stood up and said earnestly.

The expression on Wu Hai's face was so serious that people couldn't tell whether he was doing it for the food or for Yuan Zhou.

"No need, this is my duty as a chef who handles pufferfish." Yuan Zhou refused him quite straightforwardly.

What Yuan Zhou said was true. In the pufferfish test, the last part was to eat the pufferfish that was cooked by oneself. Because of this rule, some chefs who wanted to fish in troubled waters didn't even dare to take the test.

After all, pufferfish poisoning was no laughing matter, but the chef who dealt with the pufferfish was twice the salary of an ordinary chef.

After Yuan Zhou said that, he didn't wait for Zhou Shijie and Lee Yanyi to say anything and directly drank up the soup in the bowl. At the same time, he prepared to introduce the dish to them.
