Pufferfish was once the most popular in the world, but it is extremely toxic and has no cure for this poison. Once it is poisoned, you can only wait to die.
Even so, the ancients still spared no effort to "eat puffer fish to the death" and tried their best to taste this kind of human delicacy. However, all the ancients ate wild puffer fish.
In modern times, the country explicitly prohibits the sale of wild pufferfish. Now the market supplies artificially grown pufferfish, mostly red-finned oriental pigs and dark-patterned oriental pigs. The toxicity is minimal and even close to non-toxic. However, the chef still needs to pass the professional examination and obtain a certificate to be qualified for processing.
The chef community supports and laments that the country's regulations are both supportive and lamented that pufferfish is related to human life, so it is natural that the country's requirements are nothing wrong. However, the ban on the listing of wild pufferfish has indeed made this once "the world's first freshest" lose its former glory. Although the current artificial pufferfish is more delicate and delicious than ordinary fish, it is no longer the most freshest in the world.
You know, the first rare thing in the world was that a "puffer fish prime minister" appeared in the early Ming Dynasty.
Back then, Hu Weiyong was given the attention of Li Shanchang by relying on his ability to slaughter puffer fish and the courage to risk his life to taste it first. Later, he stepped into the center of power step by step. An old fox like Li Shanchang was promoted to the back because of his desire, which shows how delicious this puffer fish is.
"The most delicious puffer fish among them is of course the wild puffer fish. In fact, it is not to mention puffer fish. Even ordinary fish have very different flavors of wild and artificial breeding. Real foodies even have to choose the origin and accurately reach the specific waters..."
Zhou Dong once heard Yuan Zidan say that Yuan Weiting's wild Yellow River carp must be produced from Heigangkou north of Bianliang. After fishing, they must immediately put uncondensed lard and then quickly transport it to the capital. It can be seen how foodies demand food.
When talking about the long-extinction wild puffer fish, even Yuan Zidan couldn't help swallowing, and waved his hand to say "Xu Ti" and "Xu Ti" and sighed that he did not have the ability to deal with wild puffer fish with Hu Weiyong, otherwise he would have to make one to try.
National laws prohibit the sale of wild pufferfish, and Yuan Zidan did not dare to test the law with his own body. However, the law did not prohibit himself from making it for himself to eat, but Yuan Zidan still failed to try it in the end. Firstly, there was no wild pufferfish on the market now, and secondly, he believed that he did not have Hu Weiyong's ability and did not want to commit suicide.
The most delicious parts of wild pufferfish are the liver and ovaries, and these two parts are the most toxic. The method of making is almost lost, and even the descendants of Suiyuan can only sigh.
As for the way modern chefs deal with pufferfish, compared to the ancients who took their lives to gamble, it is already a simplified version in the simplified version. Even if the country opens the ban on wild pufferfish, there are definitely few chefs who hold pufferfish processing qualification certificates who dare to try it.
"System, are you greedy for me? It's not only illegal to sell wild puffer fish, but it's the same illegal to buy it. Unless I catch it myself and make it for myself, it's not considered a violation of the law..."
Zhou Dong was ready to move. When he was in Qingxiang, he heard a lot about why talk about the deliciousness of wild pufferfish. At the same time, he was seriously warned by his teacher again and again. If he entered the future, he could touch anything, but the national laws cannot touch it. Don’t want to touch wild pufferfish.
However, Zhou Dong is 100% confident in the system. When he thinks of the deliciousness of wild puffer fish, he can't help but drool like Yuan Zidan.
"I have the system in hand. I'm afraid I'm the only chef in the world who can handle wild pufferfish and ensure 100% safety. If I can get wild pufferfish, I must let my parents taste it and make it for myself and my family. That's not illegal, right?"
"This skill can be filial to parents, but unfortunately more people can't try it..."
Zhou Dong fell asleep with a hint of regret. Like all chefs, he also hoped that his craft would be recognized by countless diners, and that he could make the former "first freshest in the world" appear on the table again. However, under the current legal provisions, he could only think about it at most.

Teacher Yu always makes people unable to find any fault in doing things. He brought Xiao Yueyue and "Elephant Sun" to pick up Zhou Dong and Lao Guo early in the morning. This was the first time Zhou Dong saw "Elephant Sun". Seeing the real person was indeed more shocking than seeing it on TV. Standing beside him, Xiao Yueyue is an international male model with a toned figure.
The five people rushed to Daxing in a car, with the goal of Teacher Yu’s private zoo.
Even in Daxing, the 60-acre private zoo is definitely not big, so Zhou Dong has always stubbornly believed that this is the so-called zoo that Teacher Yu played. There are many players who play with pampered in Old Kyoto, but no one has reached this scale.
Since the starting point was originally about playing, it was really inappropriate to call a zoo. It was still a close call to say that it was a manor full of animals.
In ancient times, the gardens of princes and nobles were like this? There were deer coming and going in the garden, peacocks spread their tails, macaques hanging on the trees, and Persian cats sucking in their arms. Can you say this is a zoo?
Turning a luxurious garden full of animals into a zoo is Teacher Yu’s great wisdom. The phenomenon of hatred of wealth in society has been going on for a day or two.
After entering the garden, except for various animals, the one who attracted the most attention from Zhou Dong was the dozens of ponies from Teacher Yu. Although they were not as majestic as tall and big horses, they were so small that they were pitying.
These ponies are the most humane. They feed Zhou Dong a few handfuls of grass and use it as their relatives. Their heads rubbed against him, and their sniffed loudly. A group of children who entered the park were envious and followed them to feed the horses, chirping and excitedly.
It is said that Teacher Yu’s most treasured horses are these horses. They usually don’t let anyone touch them except for real good friends. However, when these children were playing with the horses, he just stood aside with a loving smile on his face, and sometimes he would take photos with these children.
Zhou Dong has paid special attention to these children, both young and old. The oldest is eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest is only four or five years old. Even when playing happily, their faces have the caution that they shouldn't have at this age.
They were dressed in ordinary clothes and even a little old, not like a baby who was cared for by their parents, and there was only a teacher next to them to take care of them.
"What are these kids?"
"All of them are bitter children in orphanages..."
Lao Guo shook his head and looked a little bitter: "Lao Yu said that the zoo is collecting tickets from the outside, but in fact there are not many tourists. The zoo is just an external saying. On weekdays, except for friends from all walks of life who come here to gather, it will be open to social welfare units such as nursing homes and orphanages for free.
The seventeen children here are all orphans he sponsored and must be funded until they graduate from university."
Zhou Dong nodded: "No wonder Teacher Yu lives so happy every day. The old saying is right, kind people are always happy."
Old Guo said sadly when he heard this: "Take it down, he is just a natural good personality.
I also learned that he did a lot of good deeds, but why was he not happy? Not to mention the fact that Deyu Society has to worry about it, there are wind, frost, snow, rain, and all kinds of open and hidden arrows outside.
Sometimes I really want to be a chef, but my wife disagrees. She says that being a chef is tiring and can’t make much money, so I will never be allowed to turn back in my life.
Alas, it’s bitter~wow!”
When Zhou Dong heard this, he called it a platoon. No wonder he heard that Lao Guo’s biggest hobby is Peking Opera art. Now he can’t be said to be a hobby. Now he is the serious successor of the "Shanghai Peking Opera" and he can have a huge seat every time he starts his performance. However, in this way, Lao Guo will have more troubles. Originally, all kinds of open and hidden arrows were just from the crosstalk circle, but now even the opera circle is ready to move.
People, if you are not good, you can’t stand others’ good. This is the original sin!
After taking Zhou Dong to the garden, Teacher Yu arranged for the "Elephant Sun" to take the children to have lunch.
There is its own canteen in the garden. Sometimes it is made by the chef in the canteen, and sometimes Teacher Yu will show off his hand in a big iron pot stew.
Today the children arranged to eat in the canteen, but he was not going to invite Zhou Dong to dinner here. After Elephant Sun came back, he smiled and said to Zhou Dong: "Brother Zhou, since we are here in Kyoto, we should experience the taste of Kyoto.
The Suiyuan you have been to is considered a high-end private restaurant in Kyoto, and it can be said to be a top-notch restaurant.
But for the same food, we have the most down-to-earth "tablet" in Kyoto. You are afraid you haven't been to it yet?
Hehe, it is difficult to find authentic taverns in Kyoto City these days. Fortunately, there is still Daxing. Why, let’s get up?"
Even though Zhou Dong had the two honors of Huaxia King and Huaxia Baccarat, it was the first time he heard that there was a difference between a tavern and a restaurant, and he became interested: "Then I have to go and see it."
"Haha, I'm sure I'll make you unique and I won't let you down Brother Zhou."
Teacher Yu laughed and said, "Yue Yue, come and drive, let's go to the 'big wine jar'!"
About ten minutes later, the car turned into an old street and stopped in front of a store. There were three bright red characters written on the black plaque with old marks and big wine jars.
When I walked into this tavern called by Teacher Yu, the atmosphere of the times came to me. The walls were white and landed on the ground, but they were old and yellow. There were no high-end and atmospheric dining tables and chairs. They were just big jars in the store, with a large round wooden lid on the jar. This was a wine table.
There are several benches next to the wine jar, which looks absolutely not new.
Teacher Yu called everyone to sit on the bench and shouted to the boss: "Mr. Wen, I won't drink the white ones today. Let's first get a box of green sticks. Look at the dishes and pick them up."
"Okay!"
The boss responded and soon brought a box of Yanjing beer, which was the cheapest green bottle, with a bottle of 600 grams. The alcohol content was much higher than that of some new brands today. Zhou Dong then realized that Green Sticks mean this kind of beer.
Before Zhou Dong asked, Teacher Yu lit a cigarette and said it was opened: "Brother, in our old Yanjing Tavern, it is a tavern, and a restaurant is a hotel.
The hotel is a place where ordinary friends are invited or communicates with various relationships and lays out the scenes. The higher the place, the more rules there are. You can’t smoke or punch and all kinds of restrictions. You can suffocate people to death. And there is a little bit of the worst in this kind of place."
Zhou Dong was stunned: "Which point is Brother Yu?"
Lao Guo and Xiao Yueyue laughed and said, "That's just that I can't eat enough!"
Zhou Dong laughed when he heard this. Although this was a bit exaggerated, it represented the feelings of many people. Sometimes the more you eat a large meal, the more you have a wide range of dishes and the dishes are guaranteed. But you just can’t eat it happily, and you have to add a skewer to finish the wine party.
"The tavern is different. There are no rules. My brothers can follow their temperament in this kind of place."
Teacher Yu said as he bounced the ashes on the ground: "In the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, there were many such taverns in Kyoto, but there were not many real big hotels.
Why? Back then, the housing prices were stable, the storefront rent was low, and the people's life pace was slow, so they all like to drink a few sips, but who can stand it when going back to a big hotel? In such a tavern, if you make a plate of peanuts and a cent of wine, no one will drive you away after sitting there for a long time. Do you think this day is beautiful?
So, this tavern is the place where you can drink wine. It is a happy place for the common people; in fact, how many people who enter are actually eating and drinking, and there are many conspiracies of interest mixed in it. How tired are they?
Brother, now people envy what "was in the past"? In fact, there is nothing to envy. Just slow down yourself down? Seeing that, this "big wine jar" can realize the wishes of many people!"
Zhou Dong nodded secretly when he heard this. Teacher Yu said it was so good. It seemed that he was talking about something in a tavern and a big hotel. In fact, it revealed an attitude of life. You can't just understand it. You still have to understand it with your heart and learn it. Teacher Yu has basically become a "fairy".
While speaking, the boss had served a few side dishes, fried peanuts, pork ear strips, beef with five-spice sauce, cucumber with wax skin, green peppers and flower eggs, shallots and tofu, fried stinky tofu, and chopped chicken with old sauce.
Although they are all side dishes, they are fragrant and make people want to drink a few sips at first sight. Zhou Dong was not very good at drinking, but he couldn't help but open a bottle of green stick for himself.
"You don't need to order dishes after entering this big wine jar, because the boss has prepared a dozen kinds of vegetables. It depends on how many people you come to, and you will be served as many dishes. You are absolutely conscientious.
For example, today, in addition to these cold dishes, there are two other hot dishes. One is stewed with crucian carp in a big pot, and the other is stewed with old goose in a iron pot. If you want more dishes, please go out and turn right and go to the big hotel.
Brother Zhou, don’t think these dishes are simple, but the boss has made them specialties for decades. Not to mention that they have become the best in the world, they will definitely not be able to find any problems with ordinary foodies.
Brother Zhou, you are an expert, you will know as soon as you eat it.”
At this moment, the boss took a cigarette from Teacher Yu. After hearing what Teacher Yu said, he didn't leave. He looked at Zhou Dong with a smile. He was still confident in his craftsmanship.
Oh, it’s too bullying to open a perfect tasting in this kind of tavern, so... specialized level.
After Zhou Dong upgraded to the perfect level to taste the taste, he could activate the three levels of specialization, master and perfect. If Teacher Yu didn't say that, if the boss didn't look at him eagerly, he wouldn't even want to activate the specialization level.
First, I picked up a peanut and sent it to my mouth. After chewing it twice, nodding and said, "It's a very special method of frying. Boss, you first choose peanuts with the same size and the same round and full grains. Soak them in water first, and then put them into a pan and fry them quickly.
This fried method has very high requirements for heat control. The boss is obviously a master, so the fried peanuts look ordinary but are actually very unusual. Not only does it ensure the crispy texture it should have, but it also has an extra toughness that tastes like a bite and fragrant!"
Then I tasted a few side dishes and commented in a series of comments: "The beef with five-spice sauce is made of old soup and braised, which is very delicious. There is no choice. As for the recipe of old soup, I can eat some, so I won't say much. This should be the boss's business secret.
The marinade of stinky tofu is very classic. In addition to several common ingredients, the boss also added specially cured toon juice. This is actually not a secret, but there are not many chefs who are willing to work hard like this now.
Also, this wax skin is made of serious big wax skin in Shandong Province. It is thick but not sticky and cool and smooth in the mouth. It should have been made by the boss himself.
Haha, I understand. The boss’s side dishes seem simple, but they are all good products made by himself. Although your tavern is small, you are very thoughtful for the chef…”
The boss looked at Zhou Dong and smiled bitterly, "Okay, today I met an expert. Lao Yu, you little brother, is an expert? I have to give you a 20% discount on your purchase today. Don't be polite."
Teacher Yu laughed: "I've copied this, thank you, Mr. Wen."
Although he has a net worth of over 100 million yuan, he got a 20% discount in a tavern, but he is as happy as a child.
After a few rounds of wine, Zhou Dong felt that he had never eaten and drank so happily. He pulled a bottle of green stick and drank it all in one go, wiped his mouth and said, "Teacher Yu, this kind of tavern is really interesting. I feel that he could eat more happily than in Suiyuan."
Teacher Yu smiled and looked at him, and suddenly asked, "I wonder if Brother Zhou's private hall will be made into 'Suiyuan' or 'big wine jar' in the future?"
Zhou Dong was stunned by his question.
