Food: I became Erina’s food demon at the beginning

Chapter 66 Cooking Puffer Whale (9/10)

“Ten years later?!”

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this number.

“That’s right, puffer whales lay eggs once every ten years. They only leave the deep sea and go to the shallows when they lay eggs, and they don’t stay there for long. After laying eggs, they will return to the deep sea again.”

Nakiri Erina nodded

“This ingredient is even more outrageous than mangosteen. Although it takes ten years to grow mangosteen from seeds, it can bear fruit almost every year after it starts to bear fruit. However, puffer whale only bears fruit once every ten years.”

Nakiri Senzaemon also admires him. Ten years is the longest time in a person’s life. Especially for an old man like him,

“So it was Liu Kai who captured it. After all, it would take me a long time to capture it myself.”

After Erina Nakiri finished speaking, she looked at the puffer whale on the chopping board. The next step was to try to cook the puffer whale.

“Puffer whale, is it called this simply because of its appearance?”

Nakiri Managi asked curiously, the puffer whale looks round and round, and if you look closely, it really looks like a miniature whale.

“This may be one of the reasons. Puffer whales look like miniature whales and have highly toxic bodies. It is difficult to capture them. Once they are approached and detected, the puffer whales will directly release the toxins in their bodies.”

“This 210 toxin will not have much impact on the puffer whale itself, but it will be bad for people who eat the poisoned puffer whale.”

“According to Liu Kai, he killed the puffer whale directly before it could react, thus avoiding poisoning.”

“But it needs to be processed again later. The puffer whale has a large number of venom glands and a venom sac in its body.”

“The location of the venom sacs and venom glands is completely different for each puffer whale, but if any venom gland or venom sac is cut, the puffer whale will be completely poisoned and inedible.”

Nakiri Erina heard from Liu Kai about the situation of the puffer whale. The toxins of the puffer whale are extremely horrible. Even if they are placed in the captive world of gourmet food, there is no way to detoxify them. IGO has done some research, but no results have been produced yet.

I can only say that the poison of puffer whales is really terrible.

“Each one is different? What should I do? Do I need to use a machine to take an X first? But for something like a venom gland, X seems to be useless!”

Alice Nakiri was also a little stunned. What should she do?

“Don’t forget my ability. It’s difficult for others, but I have the devil’s sense of touch and can figure out the location of the venom glands and venom sacs.”

Nakiri Erina said with a smile, having the touch of the devil is just like Coco’s vision of the devil

Coco was able to handle the puffer whale not because of his cooking skills, but because he could see the location of the venom glands and venom sacs.

The same principle applies to the Demon King’s sense of touch. With Erina Nakiri’s current abilities, it is easy to determine the location of the poison glands and sacs by spending a little time.

In fact, it is mainly the location of the venom glands. The venom glands are spread throughout the body of the puffer whale in a network-like manner, and the venom sac is connected in the center. It must be completely avoided.

By touching it, Erina Nagi quickly figured out the location of the puffer whale’s venom glands and venom sacs.

“Be careful when cutting. The meat of puffer whales is very compact. At first, puffer whales were huge six-meter-long creatures, but under the pressure of the deep sea, they gradually shrunk to their current size.”

“So the meat of puffer whale is very compact, which is completely different from other ingredients you usually cut.”

Liu Kai reminded that puffer whales are very magical creatures, and their bodies can be compressed from six meters to tens of centimeters.

And the most important thing is that the weight has been reduced to less than ten kilograms, which is amazing, but considering that this is the ingredient of the world of gourmet food, it is not surprising.

“I see!”

Nakiri Erina clenched the kitchen knife in her hand and cut in from the planned position.

“Such a huge resistance, no wonder I have to pay attention to my strength”

It’s one thing to describe it verbally, and it’s another thing to actually experience it yourself. When the knife cuts in, the resistance is like cutting a piece of aged bacon. If cutting other normal ingredients is like cutting tofu, then this is just an analogy.

You need to use much more strength than usual, but you can’t make a mistake even by a millimeter, otherwise you will hit the venom gland and fail.

To cook puffer whales, you only need to take out the venom sac first, and then the venom gland can be slowly pulled out by hand. As long as the force is not too great, it will not burst.

Fortunately, Erina Nakiri herself has the touch of the Demon King, so she is very strong in control.

Even though this was the first time cooking, he quickly cut open the fish’s belly, revealing the purple-black poison sac.

“not good!”

However, when the puffer whale was being cleaned, the force was too strong, causing the venom gland to be torn off, and the puffer whale was completely poisoned.

“It’s just like walking on a tightrope, there can’t be any deviation.”

Nakiri Erina looked at the puffer whale in front of her with some fear. She had to ensure that the force was on the same level throughout the whole process, without any error, otherwise she would fail just like before. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

“Take your time. It is very difficult to deal with puffer whales. Failure is normal. More than 800 are enough.”

Liu Kai smiled and said,”I saw the poison sac for the first time, which is good enough.”

“I know, but it still hurts to see the food poisoned and inedible.”

Erina Nakiri looked at the completely poisoned puffer whale with some regret. After all, it was a food item that could only be caught once every ten years. Although there were more than 800 of them, they could not be caught again in ten years, so the number could be said to be very small.

And now if the processing fails, the whole fish will be scrapped. She doesn’t want to waste too much food.

The second time, Erina Nakiri was even more focused, but this time, due to excessive tension, she had problems when cutting.

After adjusting her mindset, Nakiri Erina came to the step of removing the venom sac and gland for the third time.

At this moment, the people around were afraid to even breathe. They also knew that even with Erina Nakiri’s current knife skills, she could fail, which meant that this was not a task they could attempt.

When it comes to basic knife skills, no one in this world can compare to Erina Nakiri, and everyone knows this.

So even Erina Nakiri failed, so it’s even more impossible for others.

However, the third time went very smoothly without any danger. Finally, as the venom sac and venom gland were completely removed, the color of the puffer whale turned directly into gold.

“It changed color and turned into gold!”

A group of people looked at the golden puffer whale on the chopping board in amazement.
