Chapter 168
Kanda Sobaya
The decoration design is all in the"Edo House" style
There are no magnificent ornaments, no splendid decorations, but old wooden pillars, hanging blue dyed cloth, tables, chairs and walls, and the atmosphere of an old izakaya is everywhere.
Hong Yi sat casually at the island near the kitchen, followed by a swarm of food reporters and photographers.
Because the fighting wolf was relatively large, it squatted obediently at the door of the store, yawned, raised its paw, put it on its nose, and took a nap.
The fishing nets containing hundreds of puffer whales were carefully moved to the kitchen by several staff members working together.
I am afraid that my operation may accidentally break the poison sac in the puffer whale's body.
Now that the puffer whale is off the market, the price is even higher, and they can't afford to pay
Because of the izakaya style, the kitchen and dining room are connected
Diners can watch the chef cooking the ingredients in the kitchen, which not only makes them feel at ease, but also adds some fun and interaction while waiting for the delicious food.
Ji Zhiguo Ningning had already changed into a Japanese chef's outfit. Her originally blushing face became cold and serious, and her round eyes were half-opened and half-closed again, becoming sharp.
She took out her carefully maintained kitchen knife and prepared to start removing the venom sac of the puffer whale.
Ji Zhiguo's father said worriedly:"Ningning, how about... let me pick the puffer whale?"
"There are so many food media here. If one of them is not handled properly, it will affect the reputation of Kanda Soba-ya."
Ji Zhiguo Ningning asked expressionlessly:"Excuse me, father, what is your success rate in removing the venom sac of puffer whales?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhiguo's father immediately answered proudly in front of the food media:"I have been learning how to remove the venom sac of pufferfish and whales from my father since I was a child. So far, I have more than 30 years of experience."
"Now, I am confident that my success rate can reach 50%!"
"I heard that there are no more than a hundred chefs in the world who can extract the poison sac of pufferfish whales, and the number of chefs who can achieve a 50% success rate is probably less than one in ten."
"Based on this alone, Chef Ji Zhiguo is worthy of being the chef of a six-star Japanese restaurant."
"Although the chef is not among the top 100 chefs in the world, he is still among the top 100 Japanese chefs."
"Yes, that's right."
Food journalists praised
Ji Zhiguo Ningning held the poison sac in one hand and replied calmly:"I'm sorry, father, my success rate is 100%"
"Is this the poison sac of the puffer whale?!"
"What...when……"
Ji Zhiguo's father looked down at the chopping board with a shocked expression.
I saw a white, fat and cute puffer whale lying quietly on the chopping board. When the abdomen was cut open, the fish meat was as white as snow and bloomed like a flower bud. There was no trace of the poison sac inside.
"What's going on? The fish skin is not golden.……"
"This... the puffer whale hasn't even realized yet that its venom sac has been removed?"
Ji Zhiguo's father's heart was once again shaken by a huge wave
He looked at Ji Zhiguo Ningning with some disbelief.
My own daughter...when did her cooking skills become so superb! ?
"brush"
Ji Zhiguo Ningning casually waved the kitchen knife
On the chopping board, silver light flashes
One puffer whale after another has its venom sac successfully removed
The dreamy ingredients known for their difficulty in cooking are now processed in batches like an assembly line
"Oh my god, what superb knife skills!"
"Puffer whales don't change color"
"I'm afraid that Chef Qianliu of Kumogakure is no more than this."
"As expected of Hong Tianwang's partner, his cooking skills are extraordinary"
"By the way, how many partners does Hong Tianwang have? I heard that the chef of Chun Guo Ting is also his partner."
The food journalists exclaimed
"Click, click, click"
Camera flashes flickered at Kanda Soba
After practicing food ethics at Shilin Temple, Ji Zhiguo Ningning's cooking skills have also improved by leaps and bounds.
As the kitchen knife was swung, leaving afterimages, slices of fish fillets as thin as cicada wings flew up from the chopping board, arranged in an orderly manner in mid-air, and landed lightly on the plate next to it.
Ji Zhiguo Ningning prepared the soy sauce and mustard, placed them next to the plate, and passed them from the kitchen to the island. With a slightly red face, she said to Hong Yi,"Specially made wasabi pufferfish and whale sashimi, please enjoy it.""
"OK, let me have a taste"
Hong Yi took out his chopsticks, picked up a large piece of puffer whale sashimi that was only 1 mm thick, dipped it in soy sauce and wasabi, and put it into his mouth.
"Mmmm! It tastes good!!"
"Although wasabi is spicy, it quickly disappears and turns into a refreshing and light sweetness, which complements the sweetness of pufferfish and whale sashimi. The salty aroma of soy sauce makes it even more delicious."
"Although the thickness of the sashimi is only 1 mm, the fish meat of the puffer whale is very chewy, and because of the thinness of 1 mm, the taste is extremely light and delicious."
Hong Yi devoured a large plate of puffer whale sashimi and finished it in just a few chopsticks.
The food journalists are all envious
Each of them stretched their heads out and drooled.
"A puffer whale with its venom sac removed is worth 500 million yen."
"Now that puffer whales are off the market, one costs more than 500 million. Mr. Hong Yi actually ate them all in one go. What a luxury."
"If it were me, I would definitely eat it slowly, piece by piece, and drink a whole pot of sake to enjoy it for the whole night!"
"You have a small mindset. 500 million yen is a huge sum of money for us, but for King Hong, it may just be pocket money."
Very soon. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The red-hot iron plate was covered with 1 cm thick slices of pufferfish whale by Ningning Ji.
The fish fillet changes color quickly under the high temperature iron plate, the fish skin turns brown, the fish meat turns golden, and a"sizzling" sound is emitted.
The whole fish fillet becomes more delicious and exudes an attractive aroma under the Maillard reaction.
Ji Zhiguo Ningning quickly brushed it with yakitori sauce and turned it over quickly.
The total grilling time was no less than 5 seconds, with no error of 0.1 seconds. The perfectly grilled pufferfish whale slices were immediately served on the plate.
"Please enjoy the grilled pufferfish and whale slices on the iron plate with yakitori sauce."Ningning Ji said
All I heard was the sound of people swallowing saliva in the restaurant.
The food reporters had forgotten about the interview and Hong Yi's affairs, and were salivating over the grilled puffer fish and whale slices. soon
In less than 30 seconds, Ning Ning of Jizhiguo prepared a new puffer whale dish again
"Enjoy the kelp pufferfish and whale miso soup"
"Enjoy the teriyaki pufferfish rice bowl"
"Enjoy the pufferfish whale with shiso leaf tempura"
One after another, puffer fish and whale dishes were served on the island counter.
Hong Yi ate everything in a flash and sat down to drink sake.[]
The food journalists raised their arms and shouted,"Boss, I want half a plate of puffer whale sashimi!""
"I want a half order of puffer whale sashimi too"
"A pot of green plum sake, a quarter of a plate of grilled puffer fish whale fillet"
Suddenly
Kanda Sobaya, which was previously deserted, is now packed with customers.
Because the price of a puffer whale with its venom sac removed is too expensive, many high-star Japanese restaurants only sell it for a small amount."、"One example of selling
Some restaurants serve pufferfish and whale sashimi in 10 slices of the standard 1mm thickness.
Some stores (Qianwang is good) have six pieces
The prices range from hundreds of thousands to millions of yen.
Ji Zhiguo's father didn't expect the business to be so popular, and he immediately got busy.
"Hong Yi, let's go."
Ji Zhiguo Ningning, who had changed into a chef's outfit, came out of the kitchen and quietly pulled Hong Yi who was drinking.
"Where to go?"
Hong Yi was slightly stunned
Ji Zhiguo Ningning's fair cheeks flushed with two blushes, and she whispered,"Go... go to my house."
Hong Yi then remembered that there was still something he hadn't done.
"While my dad is busy here, I'll take you to my house to play."Ji Zhiguo Ningning whispered
One hour later
Finally, Ji Zhiguo Ningning realized the meaning of the puffs that the secretary said, and said in shame and annoyance:"Bad guy Hong Yi, I am good at kaiseki cuisine, not pregnancy."
Hong Yi held Ji Zhiguo Ningning's waist and said with a smile:"It's okay to be good at getting pregnant."
