Chapter 454 The End of the Food Journey

After Matsumoto sliced ​​the good Mita beef into thin slices horizontally, he put it aside.

Then, he took out another piece of turmeric, chopped it into minced ginger with a Santoku knife, put a stainless steel pot on the stove, and poured in a pot of hot water.

Because it is hot water, the water heats up very quickly. Within five minutes, steam comes out and the water is boiling.

"Generally, for seasoning, just add a little soy sauce."

As he spoke, Matsumoto poured a little of the opened bottle of thin-mouthed soy sauce into it, then placed the thinly sliced ​​beef in the copper wire-programmed grate and immersed it all in the water.

Because the beef has been frozen and preserved, the temperature is very low, and there are more beef slices in the fence. Therefore, the moment the fence was put in, the water originally boiled and became quiet. Then, Matsumoto quickly Lifting the fence, after the water boiled for the second time, he lowered the beef that had been cooked half-cooked in the first boiling water into the water.

Then turn off the heat, take out the beef, put it on a very exquisite ceramic plate, add a little Matsumoto's special dipping sauce, and put it in front of Jester and the others.

"Extraordinary!"

Jester also smiled and immediately picked up a piece of boiled beef with chopsticks without dipping it in the sauce. He just put it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, swallowed it directly, and then stretched out his hand directly. He gave a thumbs up and praised him sincerely.

Because the beef is the finest Mita beef, it is also selected from the best-quality beef. It is only processed in the simplest way of boiling it. It has a very pure beef aroma, and the meat is extremely smooth. It doesn't have the chewy texture of ordinary beef.

After finishing the portion of boiled beef, Jester saw that Matsumoto had not prepared the next dish, and he was still a little curious. I was just about to ask out loud.

Unexpectedly, Matsumoto smiled mysteriously first, and then lowered his voice.

"Do you dare to eat puffer fish?"

Hearing this, Jester was suddenly shocked, and Tamahide Yoshiro also changed his expression slightly. Only Claudia was a little confused. She looked around at the two people around her, a little strange, why the two people around her, After hearing Mr. Matsumoto say the name of a food. He actually showed such a scared look.

However, this fearful expression is different from ordinary fear. It seems to be an expression of wanting to try it despite being afraid.

Jester took a deep breath. He saw Claudia's curiosity, and without asking, he lowered his voice and explained to her: "Puffer fish is a very delicious food. In my home country, . Puffer fish is called one of the three delicacies of the Yangtze River, along with anchovy and saury."

"Pufferfish actually live in the sea, but they can also swim into rivers. Being a freshwater fish is one of the three delicacies I mentioned before, and the species in my country are from rivers, so the name pufferfish comes from . This name was also passed to Japan from my hometown. As for why it is called dolphin, it means that it tastes like pork. In the past, eating pork was very precious."

"So this thing called puffer fish is delicious?" Claudia asked with a smile.

Jester nodded: "It is indeed very delicious. There is a story about puffer fish in my country, about the great poet Su Dongpo." Claudia is very interested in Chinese poetry, and of course she has heard of Su Dongpo's name. .

"There used to be a family who was famous for making puffer fish. They knew that Su Dongpo was very famous in the literary world and liked to eat it very much. He even invented many delicacies, such as the famous Dongpo Pork, which is known as the first literati dish in Chinese food throughout the ages. That is, so when they learned that Su Dongpo was coming to visit them, they wanted to invite Su Dongpo to eat puffer fish, and then asked Su Dongpo to write a poem to praise him."

"They are very confident in their craftsmanship. They feel that as long as Su Dongpo eats the pufferfish they cooked, he will definitely become a poet. However, not many people dare to eat pufferfish, because pufferfish is highly poisonous!"

When Jester mentioned that pufferfish was highly poisonous, Claudia's expression also changed and she turned a little pale.

"Who dares to eat it even if it's poisonous?"

Jester smiled: "Of course, there is no shortage of stories about eating puffer fish to the death... I still know how to tell this story. At that time, Su Dongpo was also very passionate about food. He had long heard about the delicious puffer fish, and this time he came The one who cooked it for him was a famous puffer fish cook, and he was so greedy that he couldn't restrain his desire, so he agreed without hesitation."

"When Su Dongpo was eating, it was naturally impossible for the family to watch him eat. It would be impolite to do so. They waited in a nearby room, hoping to hear that Su Dongpo was so excited that he could write a poem. As a result, They waited for a long time, but they didn't hear Su Dongpo's poem."

"The male host couldn't bear it any longer. He quietly opened the curtain covering the room where Su Dongpo was. He took a sneak peek and saw Su Dongpo devouring the last pufferfish. , and after finishing the puffer fish, Su Dongpo patted his belly with some lingering thoughts, and said something with some lingering thoughts..."

At this point, Jester stopped talking, but Claudia had already been fascinated by the story and immediately asked impatiently: "What did you say?"

"You can die!"

The person who spoke was not Jester, but Mr. Matsumoto, who had been watching quietly before. This surprised Jester: "Mr. Matsumoto has also heard this story?" Matsumoto still had a faint smile on his face.

"Of course, I've heard this story before."

After finishing speaking, Matsumoto asked again: "Do you dare to eat puffer fish? I have puffer fish here, and I also have a certificate for cooking puffer fish. If you dare, I will treat you to puffer fish!"

Because pufferfish is a highly poisonous fish, whether in China or Japan, if you want to cook pufferfish, you must have a special certificate to cook it.

Especially in Japan, only master chefs who have studied for more than ten years are allowed to slaughter and cook fugu.

"It's tiger puffer fish!"

Suddenly, Matsumoto calmly wrote another sentence, which immediately made Tamahideyoshiro swallow a big mouthful of saliva.

Tiger puffer fish!

You know, there are more than 120 kinds of puffer fish in the world, and there are more than 40 kinds in Japan. The most advanced one is the tiger puffer fish. This kind of puffer fish is very rare and can only be found in the Seto Inland Sea, the central part of Honshu Island and There are branches only in the Zhonghai area of ​​South China.

This type of puffer fish is also easy to distinguish. Its back is pitch black and its belly is white. The spots on its body are all in the center, and there will be a giant round spot like a solar eclipse.

However, because tiger puffer fish is extremely rare, it is very rare in the market. It is usually replaced by black puffer fish. This kind of black puffer fish is imported from South Korea. It looks very similar to tiger puffer fish, and there is also a solar eclipse in the middle. Spots, but no markings elsewhere.

Jester glanced at Claudia. He had nothing to fear about eating pufferfish, and since Matsumoto dared to say it, there was no problem. Moreover, there was an unwritten rule in cooking pufferfish, and that was After cooking the pufferfish, the chef will eat it first and make sure it is non-toxic before presenting it to the guests.

"Matsumoto-kun, I never thought you could get tiger puffer fish!" Tamahide Yoshiro couldn't help but lick his lips and asked, "I know you have a certificate for cooking puffer fish, but I didn't know you could get such a rare puffer fish. goods."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Tamahide Yoshiro's words, Matsumoto couldn't help laughing. He turned to look at Jester and Claudia: "I'm very good at eating pufferfish. Here, eating pufferfish has never been a problem." From elementary to advanced, I divided it into grades from elementary school to university. If you eat it in this order, it will definitely be more exciting than listening to a top symphony!"

It takes courage to eat puffer fish.

When Claudia saw Jester looking at her, she also smiled: "I am a standard foodie. It's not like you don't know that I am not afraid of anything for delicious food!"

At this time, Matsumoto was about to say something with a smile, but a phone on the table next to him suddenly rang.

Matsumoto went over to answer the phone, and then looked at Tamahideyoshiro.

"Jun Yuxiu, he is from your company."

After hearing this, Tamahideyoshiro glanced at Jester, then went directly over and took the phone from Matsumoto's hand. The voice of Tamahideyoshiro's call was very short, only ten seconds, and he hummed a few times, Hang up the phone.

"Jace, there is something going on in the company. Our people are on their way here. I can't explain it on the phone. They want to report it to you in person."

Tamahide Yoshiro walked to Jester's side and said something in a low voice.

Although the voice was not loud, Matsumoto and Claudia could hear it clearly, and Jester also knew that he had already said before that if there was nothing particularly important, don't disturb him. But this time not only did he get a call, but people rushed over directly. Obviously, it must be a very important matter.

Not long after, twenty minutes later, someone shouting was heard outside Matsumoto's cattle farm.

Matsumoto went out to take a look.

Sure enough, it was someone from the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment.

After receiving the news from the Osaka branch, Jester could only end this unsatisfactory trip to the cattle farm with great regret. Of course, he still expressed his gratitude to Matsumoto. The level of boiled beef is indeed very high. (To be continued...)
