Dishes that don’t shine are not good dishes

A Man From Darkness (Part 2)

Xie Yunfei let out a long breath.

So far, the most difficult step has been completely completed.

With a knife in his hand, he tore off the other four ingredients except for the puffer fish and put them into the empty bucket prepared in advance, then picked up the tail of the puffer fish and knocked it unconscious again.

There was another “hum—” sound.

It was the same as the original version of the puffer fish, except this time, the white line appeared not on the puffer’s belly, but on its back.

Carefully peel off the fish meat from both sides, remove the outer skin, and then cut them open one by one and put them into the bamboo tube.

Pour clean water, sprinkle ginger, onion and other seasonings and spices to remove the fishy smell, close the lid of the bamboo tube, put it into a pot filled with water, and heat it in a water bath.

Compared with the previous process of discoloration, this stage of cooking made Tang Xin, who was originally worried, finally let go of the stone in her heart.

Although she was slowly trying to regain her cooking skills, Tang Xin hadn’t been in the kitchen for a long time, and because of this, she didn’t notice anything strange on the kitchen table in front of Xie Yunfei.

It’s not just her. Zhongcun and Nakano, the two who used the camera to observe, didn’t see the situation clearly because of the focus.

It was Ms. Zheng, who was a diner, her eyes were fixed on the kitchen table, or in other words, the cutting board on the left side of the kitchen table.

“Sure enough…” He muttered softly.

Ms. Zheng lowered her head, with the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing an inexplicable smile.

Her nephew and niece also seemed to have noticed something unusual, and a light of surprise flashed in their eyes.

I saw the chopping board where all kinds of remains of the puffer fish should be left. At this time, not to mention the internal organs, glands and the like, even the skeleton is hardly seen. What’s more frightening is that the puffer fish contains highly poisonous blood, and there is not even a drop of it. On that clean cutting board!

Blood, internal organs, and bones…where did they go?

The boy and the girl looked at each other, then turned their heads, and refocused their eyes on Xie Yunfei, who was cooking the final meal.

Unfortunately, for the next ten minutes or so, Xie Yunfei just stood quietly in front of the stove until he took out the bamboo tube again.

“I’ve been waiting for a long time, Ms. Zheng. This is the ‘Bamboo Poison Soup’ I reconstructed based on the information you provided. I hope you like it.”

While talking, Xie Yunfei opened the lid of the bamboo tube, poured the soup and fish fillets into four small bowls, then took out the bowls and saucers with bat light yellow powder, and sent them along with the bowls. In front of Ms. Zheng and her party.

To Tang Xin’s and Zhongcun’s and Nakano’s expectations, the surface of the so-called ‘Bamboo Poison Soup’ as a finished product did not reveal the unique glow of luminous cuisine or special-grade cuisine.

But Ms. Zheng smiled, very happily.

“I haven’t eaten this dish for almost twenty years.”

Soft whispers sounded in the somewhat empty hall on the third floor.

“Would you like to introduce me? As far as I know, your cooking style is far from the so-called orthodox.”

Xie Yunfei would never refuse normal requests from diners.

Nodding his head, he picked up the soup spoon beside the bowl in front of him, scooped up some light yellow powder and poured it on the lid beside the bowl, and picked up the fish fillets in the soup with chopsticks, covering the surface with a A thin layer of powder.

——duang!

A belated special effect appeared, and a golden beam of light shot up into the sky.

Without caring about the light on the surface of the fish, Xie Yunfei just opened his mouth and swallowed the fish on the chopsticks.

Then pour the light yellow powder into the bowl, and after stirring gently, a second beam of light rises.

“As you can see, the fugu meat I have processed no longer contains toxins.”

As if to prove his words, Xie Yunfei drank all the soup and fish in the bowl, making Tang Xin, who was standing by the side, secretly gritted his teeth. Fortunately, Tang Xin’s depression didn’t last long. The next second, the young man standing across from the dining table explained the specific principle of the dish ‘Poison Soup in Bamboo Tube’.

“The puffer fish, scorpions, snakes, centipedes, and bats I use… well, they are all fantasy ingredients.” As soon as Xie Yunfei came up, he was not surprised and kept dying.

“Eh?” Tang Xin was surprised.

“No way?” Zhongcun and Nakano looked at each other.

Although there are eight hundred types of imaginary ingredients, Zhongcun and Nakano, who are high-level food researchers, have never heard of fugu, scorpion and other imaginary ingredients.

“I thought it was weird before. Where did Master Xie get these fantasy ingredients? No matter how powerful his adoptive father is, he stocked him with a lot of fantasy ingredients. There shouldn’t be these types that he has never seen before, right? ” Zhongcun muttered.

Nakano didn’t feel much, “Mr. Xie is a real six-star special chef. It is not impossible to be promoted to seven stars in the ten years after leaving Huaxia. If he really reaches that level, he may indeed come up with some food that has not been recorded in the food. Most of the ingredients in the study guidebook… just haven’t been reported.”

At this time, Zhong Cun also reacted, his face was full of envy and longing, “There is a six-star special chef as a father, no wonder Master Xie’s cooking skills can improve so quickly.”

It is impossible for Xie Yunfei to know about the conversation between the two downstairs. Seeing Ms. Zheng and one of herSeeing that his nephew and niece didn’t show surprise like Tang Xin did, he had a faint confirmation in his heart, “The puffer whale with higher toxin than ordinary puffer fish and more delicious meat, and the eight-tailed eight-tailed scorpion, lightly touch it Snakes that let the poison spread all over the body, flying centipedes raised with big rooster chickens in the shade, and swallowtail bats that can scrape off the scale powder on the wings… If these five ingredients are not specially treated, Each one can be said to be highly poisonous.”

“I don’t know what the chef who first cooked this dish experienced, but after a lot of experiments on my side, I discovered some very interesting phenomena. The toxin of the puffer fish whale was restrained by the flying centipede, and the flying centipede was preyed on by the eight-fisted scorpion. , Eight-Different Scorpion can’t fight against Snake, and the phosphorus powder of swallowtail bat is non-toxic and is a very useful seasoning.”

“So, you used the previous method to make the toxins in several ingredients cancel each other out?” It was Tang Xin who asked the question. She seemed to have not figured out the essence of Yunfei’s dish.

“No, the toxin is indeed still in the pufferfish’s body before it is put into the pot, and it’s not just puffer fish poison, but also centipede poison, scorpion poison and snake poison.”

Somewhat unexpectedly, it was not Xie Yunfei who answered, but Ms. Zheng. While speaking, she stood up suddenly, walked to the kitchen counter not far away, and picked up the bamboo tube that Xie Yunfei had used to heat in the water bath.
