Chapter 1353 Beautiful

After washing up, the sun had risen several feet high in Shanghai. The golden sunlight reflected the vast blue sea. The sky was high and the earth was wide against the backdrop of the blue sky and white clouds. It was obviously another great weather with clear and cool autumn weather.

Chen Xu rolled up his sleeves and turned into a chef again, preparing to make the remaining ingredients yesterday into delicious food. After this meal, this island trip came to a perfect end. I don’t know how many years it will take my family to travel next time.

"Dad, Xier wanted to eat braised beef noodles in the morning, but she hadn't eaten it for a long time!" Seeing Chen Xu preparing to cook again, Chen Xi ran from the beach to order her breakfast.

"Okay, but there is no beef on the island. Is it okay for Dad to cook seafood noodles for Xier?" Chen Xu nodded with a smile.

"Okay!" Chen Xi obeyed his father's words. Now that he has grown up a lot, he no longer likes to ask all kinds of reasons.

"Mr. Marquis, there is no noodles!" The accompanying chef manager stood beside him and whispered.

"Well, why is it gone?" Chen Xu frowned.

"Mr. Marquis, the noodles are placed on the carriage. I forgot to carry them on the boat yesterday and they are all transported back to Wuzhong!"

"Is there any flour?"

"Go back to the Marquis, there are still dozens of kilograms of flour!"

"Then go and have a basin of noodles, just make steamed buns on weekdays!" Chen Xu didn't care too much.

It is not easy to eat noodles, but it is not dry and wet. It is not easy to cut ramen noodles with hand-rolled knife. Chinese people cannot do anything else. What they study is the ancestral craftsmanship and belongs to genetic inheritance.

Arranged a chef to knead the noodles, and Chen Xu directed the chef and the chef to start processing a few abalones.

Dig out the abalone and remove the internal organs and clean them up, leaving only the tender meat. In order to make the style more unique, Chen Xu also instructed the guards to go to the cabin to get some refined saltpeter to make a basin of ice.

The cleaned abalone is slightly marinated with fruit vinegar and wine for a while, and then carefully cut it into transparent slices with a knife. In recent years, there are many opportunities to cook in person, and Chen Xu's knife skills have also grown. The thickness of these slices are not much different. They are placed in a piece of snow-white and transparent enamel basin filled with ice. It looks crystal clear and very attractive.

"My benefactor, what do you eat?" Yu Wuya stood beside him and watched, very surprised by the unique dish.

"Eat raw. China has a tradition of eating sashimi since ancient times. The meat of this abalone is tender and delicious. It is very delicious to eat raw..."

"Vomit~" Yu Wuya covered her mouth and stepped back, her face turned slightly pale and shook her head and said, "My bet, it's better to make it spicy, or barbecue, this raw food Wuya will feel disgusting!"

"Hehe, there are so many delicious things in the world. The reason why it is not delicious is just that you can't make it. This abalone sashimi is a delicious dish recorded in the Book of Heaven. Moreover, such a large fresh abalone is rare. If you don't eat it, don't blame me if you miss it!"

Yu Wuya was struggling for a long time and nodded slightly and said, "What my benefactor said does make sense, but just eat it raw like this?"

"No, I'll eat it for you!"

Chen Xu used chopsticks to pick up a thin piece of abalone meat from the ice basin, dipped it in the prepared bowl and dish, and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it gently, a crisp, tender and smooth salty smell bloomed in his mouth, and in an instant, all the taste buds seemed to become active.

"It's cool, this is the real seafood..." Chen Xu chewed and exclaimed with his eyes closed.

"Dad, Xi'er also wants to eat a piece!" Chen Xi, who was guarding the stove, immediately pulled Chen Xu's clothes and shouted.

"Okay, Xi'er also eat one!" Chen Xu picked up a piece of dipping sauce and dipped it in mustard and fed it to his daughter.

"Is it delicious?" Chen Xu squatted down and asked.

"Well, it tastes delicious, but it's a bit spicy!" Chen Xi nodded while eating.

“Just less mustard!”

Not satisfied, Chen Xu picked up another piece and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's really delicious?" Yu Wuya stood beside him, licking his mouth and his face was entangled.

"Uncle Yu, it's really delicious!" Chen Xi had already started eating the second piece.

"Then I'll try it!" As a veteran foodie, Yu Wuya finally couldn't hold back the desire in his heart. He picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of crystal clear abalone meat, dipped it in some seasonings and mustard, and then stuffed it into his mouth with a slight chewing for a few seconds. His face suddenly opened and nodded repeatedly, "It's not bad, it's really delicious, it tastes cool, crispy and has no fishy smell at all, it's delicious... well, delicious..."

Yu Wuya was instantly conquered by this simple delicacy. The chopsticks kept rising and falling, and he ate five or six in an instant.

Ignoring Chen Xi and Yu Wuya, two foodies, one big and one small, Chen Xu took a pufferfish out of the basin and put it on the chopping board. However, looking at this thing, Chen Xu hesitated and entangled.

Pufferfish should actually be called a snail. It is said to be extremely delicious and is known as the most delicious river. In fact, pufferfish is a species of fish that can live in freshwater and sea water. In spring, it migrates along the Yangtze River to Dongting Lake and Poyang Lake to lay eggs, and then returns to the sea to live again. Zhoushan is the estuary of the Yangtze River and Zhejiang. The sea water and freshwater are mixed together, and the rich nutrients brought into the sea by the river. Therefore, Zhoushan is also a natural huge fishing ground. Later generations are also the largest fishing ground on the southeast coast of New China, with a huge number of pufferfish.

Although pufferfish is beautiful, it is fatal. Because pufferfish is highly toxic, if you accidentally eat its toxin-rich internal organs, especially the reproductive system, you can basically chat with the ancestor of the West. Although pufferfish in later generations explicitly prohibited fish from being fished into the seafood market, there are still many folk ate river splatters, which fully promotes the fine tradition of Chinese people not afraid of life and death for food.

The Wu Yue people must have eaten puffer fish very early, otherwise no one would have identified this thing as poisonous, because testing poison with one's body is also a fine tradition passed down by Chinese ancestors. Whether it can be eaten or not, it must be tasted before it can be counted.

As a foodie, if you have never been poisoned several times in your life, you will be embarrassed to say that you are a food researcher.

Just like in Yunnan, you have never had the hallucination after eating poisonous mushrooms, and you must not be an authentic mushroom lover.

The pufferfish's belly was like a balloon, staring at Chen Xu with a pair of small eyes, and Chen Xu also stared at the pufferfish with a pair of big eyes open.

Do you want to eat it?

Chen Xu was extremely entangled.

Chen Xi didn't know that the pufferfish was poisonous, but she felt that the fish was quite cute. After eating a few pieces of abalone sashimi, she put down her chopsticks and began to squat by the basin to watch another pufferfish inside. Yu Wuya looked at Chen Xu preparing to attack the pufferfish, and nervously held the ice basin and retreated for more than a foot.

"My benefactor, this snail is really poisonous. The people of Yingzhou call it dead in one go, so it's better to lose it!" Yu Wuya also saw Chen Xu's hesitation, so he persuaded him very seriously.

Later generations said that they were fighting to the death to eat puffer fish.

Chen Xu is still struggling. Even if he does it, he has to find a dog or a person to test whether it is poisonous. Just verify it yourself.

"Marty, the fishermen came again yesterday!"

A guard next to him reminded Chen Xu, looking up at the sea, and indeed at the entrance of the bay, he saw several small fishing boats slowly coming in with their oars.

Chen Xu withdrew his eyes and immediately became calculating in his heart. He picked up a knife to cut the jaw of the pufferfish. After the pufferfish died completely, he carefully cut open his belly and carefully observed that the internal organs were not cut. Then he gently pulled out all the internal organs with his hands. After cleaning the internal organs, Chen Xu breathed a sigh of relief.

It is said that most of the toxins of pufferfish are in the internal organs, especially when laying eggs in spring, which is the most toxic. However, it is said that pufferfish is the most delicious when laying eggs in spring. Therefore, the funeral of many diners is in March when spring is in full bloom. When visiting graves in the next year, relatives and friends will lose the step of planting green on the graves. The graves are lush green and flowers are full of the tomb, which is so beautiful.

The next treatment is much simpler. Remove the head and fins. For safety, Chen Xu even removed the fish skin and bones. In the end, only two pieces of snow-white fish meat were left. In order to be safer, Chen Xu also cut the fish into thin slices and washed repeatedly with clean water to completely remove the blood.

Looking at a stack of crystal clear fish, Chen Xu believed that no one could guess that it was puffer fish meat at this time.

Next, Chen Xu spent nearly twenty minutes slaughtering another pufferfish, and finally got only seven or eight taels of meat.

Wash the pan, cook oil, stir-fry the fragrant green onion, ginger and garlic, stir-fry the puffer fish meat for a few times, add some water, add some soy sauce and salt, and cover the pot.

Chen Xu has never eaten or made puffer fish meat, but since it is fish meat, there will be no problem with the most common home-cooked braised pork.

The fish was already tender, and soon a fresh smell came out of the pot. Under the temptation of this fragrance, Chen Xi looked at the iron pot with awesomeness. Yu Wuya also stopped and continued to eat abalone. Put down the basin and sniffed and swallowed saliva.

"This taste is indeed too fragrant, even better than yesterday's iron plate squid and vermicelli scallops. It's fresh and fragrant and charming..." Yu Wuya licked his mouth and his skin kept trembling.

Chen Xu also felt that he was almost hungry. This smell was indeed an irresistible temptation.

Two minutes later, the fragrance in the air became stronger. Chen Xu unbuttoned the lid of the pot and saw that the snow-white fish meat was still trembling gently in the rolling soup. As the lid was opened, a more moving fragrance rose into the air and spread around. In an instant, several feet in a radius were covered, and a group of chefs and chefs were almost swallowing their saliva at the same time.

"Gudong!" Chen Xu's Adam's apple shook and swallowed his saliva, hesitated to pick up the spatula and scoop some rich soup.

"Be kind-hearted, be careful..." Although Yu Wuya's soul was seduced, his heart was still clear. When he saw Chen Xu's actions, he quickly spoke out to remind him.

"Then come and try it?" Chen Xu handed the spatula to Yu Wuya.

Yu Wuya's face twisted in an instant and shook his head like a rattle.

"Mr. Marquis, the noodles are settled!" A chef came over with a basin and licked his mouth and said.

"Well, then let's cook noodles first!"
