Chapter 325: Desperately Eating Puffer Fish
China has been studying food for 5,000 years, and the research on food is definitely the first in the world! Eating, in Chinese culture, is not only to fill the stomach, but also to develop a special set of rules!
For example, in Xiao Han's hometown, there are rules for formal banquets and serving! The first chicken and two fish are already a foregone conclusion!
However, today's dinner was a little strange, the first dish served by Xiaodong and Stunned was exactly the same.
Inside two delicate white porcelain plates, fish trevillary in the shape of flower petals are laid out on them. In the middle of the saucer, there is a small oil dish, in which Xiao Han finally found the yellow mustard, it looks like it doesn't want to be a dish, but like a work of art!
Such a delicate dish was placed on the table, but no one moved the chopsticks for a long time.
None of the people here are hillbillies, and they have all eaten fish and tart. But this is the first time I've seen such a peculiar fish!
The fillet is so beautiful! Thin as paper, as beautiful as jade, and even more peculiar is that the fish meat is almost transparent, through the thin slices, you can see the blooming peony flower under the porcelain plate! Such a delicacy, not to mention eating, just looking at it, is an excellent enjoyment!
Xiao Han looked at his work with satisfaction, this fish meat was not actually cut by him, he didn't have such good knife skills. However, although he didn't cut the fish himself, he handled everything else! No one dares to take such poisonous things as puffer fish lightly.
First set, perfect! Second set, end ...... Hey? How does it feel that something is wrong? When was there a small gap in the full moon-like plating? I didn't have this when I first watched the fisherman put on the plate! It's obvious that someone stole it!
Such a perfect work had flaws, and Xiao Han felt unhappy for a while. When he stood up, he pulled aside the stunned man who served the food, and asked in a low voice: "Stunned!" What's going on?! ”
Of course, he was not angry that someone was stealing food, but angry that this stupid thief who secretly ate didn't even bother to return to his place.
The stunned man was a little at a loss for what to do with the tray, and said to Xiao Han stupidly: "What's wrong with Master Hou?" What's going on? ”
Seeing that the stunned man looked dazed, Xiao Han hesitated slightly, then glared at him viciously and said, "Hey, the kid is still pretending!" Eat secretly before! Today Lao Tzu has a treat, how dare you bastard steal food! ”
The stunned expression became more and more innocent, and he almost cried and said to Xiao Han: "...... Master Hou, I haven't ...... yet No, I didn't steal it! ”
"Still stubborn? Then you say, why is this fish missing! Don't say you've been eaten by dogs! "The fire in Xiao Han's stomach is steaming up! The voice didn't feel louder. It doesn't matter if you eat secretly, you won't hide it or you don't care, but you don't admit it! That's it!
"Ahem, it's not the dog that eats it, it's the uncle who eats it......" Just as the stunned man was about to cry, a weak voice came from next to him.
"Who ate it?!" Xiao Han heard the sound and turned his head viciously to ask Xiaodong.
"Master Hou, this is really what my uncle eats, he is afraid that the toxicity of this fish will not be cleaned, so he ate a slice first." Xiao Dong on the side pointed to the fish dish and said to Xiao Han.
"What do you say? This fish is poisonous? Before Xiao Han could speak, Cheng Yanjin in the seat exclaimed in surprise and almost jumped up from his seat! But after shouting, he immediately knew that something was wrong, and sat down stupidly.
Niu Jinda and Qin Shubao, who were sitting next to Cheng Biting Jin, were sweating profusely, and they angrily gave Cheng Biting Jin a kick under the table! Cheng Biting Jin's two legs were broken, and he didn't dare to shout, so he could only look at the sky silently.
Hey, these two kicks really deserve it! I was really stupid just now, how could this fish be poisonous? Don't say that Xiao Han is also at the table, even if it is against King Qin, no one dares to poison it!
The fish stealing case was over, and after sending away the aggrieved stunned, Xiao Han returned to his seat and saw that several people at the table were looking at him with strange expressions.
"What do you want me to do? Come on, let's try it, this is no ordinary fish! It's a rare sight! Xiao Han immediately greeted the guests attentively.
As the guest of honor, Li Shimin did not move his chopsticks, but first pointed to the fish and asked Xiao Han: "Xiao Han, what kind of fish is this?" How have you never seen it before? ”
"Hey, this is a pufferfish!" Xiao Han had some indifferent introductions.
"Pufferfish? What kind of fish is used in ancient books to eat puffer fish? What kind of fish is highly poisonous? ”
When several people heard that this was the famous puffer fish, they were a little surprised. But fortunately, no one was as shocked as Cheng Biting Jin! It's just strange how Xiao Han could get this thing for them to eat, so he wasn't afraid to put down all these people here?
Xiao Han saw their worries, and first picked up a piece with chopsticks, hung it in the air for a few people to see, and said, "Yes!" That's that kind of fish! It's poisonous, but it's delicious! But don't worry, it's all completely processed! Not toxic at all! Everyone can eat with confidence, and they will never be poisoned! ”
After speaking, Xiao Han first put the fish meat as thin as a cicada's wings into the yellow mustard for a while, and then filled it into his mouth.
Close your eyes and feel the unique umami smell in the air, and the moment you enter your mouth, all the taste buds on your tongue seem to open! No wonder some people say: After eating this fish, there is no umami! Xiao Han deliberately put this dish on the first one to ensure that its unique taste would not be contaminated by other things.
"This... Is it delicious? Seeing that Xiao Han had "tested the poison with his body", even if the other people had doubts, they couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in their mouths at this time.
"Huh?" Cheng Yanjin frowned and took a bite of the fish, and when he tasted the taste, he immediately sighed lightly, and then stretched out his chopsticks to pick the second and third pieces.
However, when he wanted to pick the fourth piece, he picked a blank one. Two plates of fish, exactly three pieces per person. And because Uncle Stunned ate one piece, Xiao Han only ate two pieces.
Somewhat reluctant to put down the chopsticks, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This thing should not be eaten more!" ”
Qin Shubao on the side also had the same expression, glanced at the empty plate and said regretfully: "Indeed! Just try it! If you eat too much, it's like a cow chewing peonies, wasting heaven in vain! ”
Xiao Han didn't understand why the ancients were so sad when they ate good things, but it was true that you couldn't eat too much sashimi. Who knows if there are any parasites in it? That thing is so tenacious that even the extremely poisonous puffer fish can't avoid it, let alone a human! Many of the ancients planted on this thing.
At least Xiao Han remembered that during the Three Kingdoms, Guangling Taishou Chen Deng was born with a stomach full of insects because he loved to eat fish tart, and the peerless divine doctor Hua Tuo didn't cure him! It can be seen that it is extremely important to keep your mouth shut!
Nodding, Xiao Han shouted to Xiao Dong, who was waiting outside the door. Remove the empty plate and replace it with other dishes, and tonight's banquet can be regarded as the real beginning.
Today's dish, except for the first sashimi, is coarse. However, because they are all wild and wild, they have a unique flavor, and several people are full of praise for eating them.
The dishes have gone through three rounds, and the wine has passed five flavors. The atmosphere also slowly became warmer, especially Xiao Han interspersed in it, which completely threw aside the invisible estrangement between them.
"Cheers!" On the wine table, Xiao Han shouted, raised the wine glass high, and slammed the glasses of several other people, and half of the glass of wine was suddenly spilled! provoked the unwillingness of Boss Li Shimin, this bastard stole wine again!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Drink to win! ”
Putting aside Xiao Han, who was cheating and cheating, Li Shimin stood up and drank a glass of wine with Cheng Yanjin and the others. Putting down the wine glass and looking at a few people, Li Shimin smiled and said: "Everyone, I have been busy with business these days, and I have neglected you, please forgive me!" ”
"Where, where!" Seeing this, Qin Shubao and the others hurriedly replied politely.
